TORONTO, May 25, 2017 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended April 30, 2017. Second quarter reported earnings were $2.5 billion, up 22% compared with the same quarter last year.

"All of our business segments performed well in the second quarter reflecting strong revenue growth and reduced credit losses," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our relentless focus on improving TD's legendary customer experience continues to deliver increased volumes and new customer acquisitions."

Canadian Retail
Canadian Retail net income was $1,570 million, an increase of 7% from the same quarter last year reflecting strong volume growth led by record average balances and accounts in core chequing, strong growth across commercial loans and deposits and market share gains in wealth assets, along with reduced loan losses. Increased non-interest expenses this quarter relate to ongoing investments in digitizing the customer experience and enhancing product offerings.

TD also commented on the status of its review of sales practices in Canadian personal banking. "At TD, we share a commitment to continually improve for our customers and our colleagues, and we welcomed this review as an opportunity to help make us better. We have largely completed this review and we continue to believe that we do not have a widespread problem with people acting unethically in order to achieve sales goals. As we have indicated, we will act on the opportunities we found to improve our business," said Masrani. This topic will also be considered by industry regulators and TD is committed to engaging cooperatively.

U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail net income was $845 million (US$636 million) this quarter compared with $719 million (US$537 million) for the second quarter last year, an increase of 18%.

The U.S. Retail Bank, which excludes the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, generated net income of $737 million (US$554 million), an increase of 21% compared with the second quarter last year. The U.S. Retail Bank's focus on deepening relationships with existing customers and on new customer acquisition delivered higher volumes and contributed to strong revenue growth. The earnings also reflect a more favourable interest rate environment, continuing good credit performance, and expense management.

TD Ameritrade contributed $108 million (US$82 million) in earnings to the segment, same as the second quarter last year (an increase of 5% in U.S. dollars).

Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking net income was $248 million, an increase of 13% compared with the second quarter last year reflecting strong revenue growth from higher corporate lending fees, increased client activity in equity trading and lower credit losses. Higher non-interest expenses include continued investments to grow our U.S. businesses.

Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in basis was 10.8%, compared with 10.9% last quarter, reflecting strong organic capital generation and the normal course issuer bid completed this quarter.

Conclusion
"At the half-year mark, we continue to execute against our strategy and I am very pleased with our earnings growth and the performance of our retail and wholesale franchises," said Masrani. "We remain focused on investing for future growth and seamlessly delivering personalized experiences, proactive advice and timely interactions to our customers and clients across multiple channels, anywhere and anytime."

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, the Bank (as defined in this document) makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the Management's Discussion and Analysis ("2016 MD&A") in the Bank's 2016 Annual Report under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", for each business segment under headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2017", and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2017 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "may", and "could".

By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause, individually or in the aggregate, such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technology and infrastructure), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include the general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; the ability of the Bank to execute on key priorities, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, business retention plans, and strategic plans and to attract, develop and retain key executives; disruptions in or attacks (including cyber-attacks) on the Bank's information technology, internet, network access or other voice or data communications systems or services; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information; the impact of new and changes to, or application of, current laws and regulations, including without limitation tax laws, risk-based capital guidelines and liquidity regulatory guidance; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; increased competition, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; changes to the Bank's credit ratings; changes in currency and interest rates (including the possibility of negative interest rates); increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; critical accounting estimates and changes to accounting standards, policies, and methods used by the Bank; existing and potential international debt crises; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results. For more detailed information, please refer to the "Risk Factors and Management" section of the 2016 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any transactions or events discussed under the heading "Significant Events" in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and the Bank cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank's forward-looking statements.

Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2016 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", and for each business segment, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2017", each as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank's shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank's financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation.

This document was reviewed by the Bank's Audit Committee and was approved by the Bank's Board of Directors, on the Audit Committee's recommendation, prior to its release.

HOW WE PERFORMED

How the Bank Reports
The Bank prepares its Interim Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures referred to as "adjusted" results to assess each of its businesses and to measure the Bank's overall performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank removes "items of note", from reported results. The items of note relate to items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance. The Bank believes that adjusted results provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. The items of note are disclosed in Table 3. As explained, adjusted results differ from reported results determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

^1	Adjusted non-interest income excludes the following items of note: second quarter 2017 – nil due to change in fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available‑for‑sale (AFS) securities portfolio, as explained in footnote 5; first quarter 2017 – $41 million gain due to change in fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified AFS securities portfolio; second quarter 2016 – $58 million loss due to change in fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified AFS securities portfolio. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
^2	Adjusted non-interest expenses excludes the following items of note: second quarter 2017 – $63 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 4; first quarter 2017 – $64 million amortization of intangibles; second quarter 2016 – $69 million amortization of intangibles. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
^3	Adjusted equity in net income of an investment in TD Ameritrade excludes the following items of note: second quarter 2017 – $15 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 4; first quarter 2017 – $16 million amortization of intangibles; second quarter 2016 – $17 million amortization of intangibles. These amounts were reported in the Corporate segment.
^4	Amortization of intangibles relates to intangibles acquired as a result of asset acquisitions and business combinations, including the after tax amounts for amortization of intangibles relating to the equity in net income of the investment in TD Ameritrade. Although the amortization of software and asset servicing rights are recorded in amortization of intangibles, they are not included for purposes of the items of note.
^5	The Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to certain trading debt securities and reclassified these securities from trading to the available-for-sale category effective August 1, 2008. These debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with credit default swap and interest rate swap contracts which are recorded on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in the period's earnings. As a result the derivatives were accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses related to the derivatives in excess of the accrued amounts were reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted results of the Bank in prior periods exclude the gains and losses of the derivatives in excess of the accrued amount. Effective February 1, 2017, the total gains and losses as a result of changes in fair value of these derivatives are recorded in Wholesale Banking.
^6	In the second quarter of 2016, the Bank recorded impairment losses on goodwill, certain intangibles, other non-financial assets and deferred tax assets, as well as other charges relating to the Direct Investing business in Europe that has been experiencing continued losses. These amounts are reported in the Corporate segment.

Return on Common Equity
The Bank's methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. The capital allocated to the business segments is based on 9% CET1 Capital.

Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity.

Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial measure as it is not a defined term under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

For management reporting purposes, the Bank reports its results under three key business segments: Canadian Retail, which includes the results of the Canadian personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses; U.S. Retail, which includes the results of the U.S. personal and business banking operations, wealth management services, and the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade; and Wholesale Banking. The Bank's other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment.

Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. Where applicable, the Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results and ROE, and for those segments the Bank indicates that the measure is adjusted. For further details, refer to the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document, the "Business Focus" section in the 2016 MD&A, and Note 30 of the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2016. For information concerning the Bank's measure of ROE, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, refer to the "How We Performed" section of this document.

Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking's results are reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $457 million, compared with $82 million in the second quarter last year, and $112 million in the prior quarter. The TEB adjustment for the six months ended April 30, 2017, was $569 million, compared with $147 million the same period last year.

Effective the first quarter of 2017, the Bank changed the framework for classifying assets under administration (AUA) and assets under management (AUM). The primary change is to recognize mutual funds sold through the branch network as part of AUA. In addition, AUA has been updated to reflect a change in the measurement of certain business activities within Canadian Retail. Comparative amounts have been recast to conform with the revised presentation.

Quarterly comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q2 2016
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter was $1,570 million, an increase of $106 million, or 7%, compared with the second quarter last year. The increase in earnings reflects revenue growth and lower PCL, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and the effect of one less day in the current quarter. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 45.0%, compared with 41.7% in the second quarter last year.

Canadian Retail revenue is derived from Canadian personal and commercial banking, wealth, and insurance businesses. Revenue for the quarter was $5,132 million, an increase of $245 million, or 5%, compared with the second quarter last year. Net interest income increased $115 million, or 5%, reflecting loan and deposit volume growth, partially offset by the effect of one less day this quarter. Non-interest income increased $130 million, or 5%, reflecting wealth asset growth, higher fee-based revenue in the banking businesses, and changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims. Margin on average earning assets was 2.81%, an increase of 4 basis points (bps), reflecting favourable balance sheet mix, partially offset by the low interest rate environment and competitive pricing.

Average loan volumes increased $15 billion, or 4%, compared with the second quarter last year, reflecting 3% growth in personal loan volumes and 8% growth in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $31 billion, or 11%, compared with the second quarter last year, reflecting 8% growth in personal deposit volumes, 17% growth in business deposit volumes and 20% growth in wealth deposit volumes.

AUA were $404 billion as at April 30, 2017, an increase of $49 billion, or 14%, compared with the second quarter last year, reflecting new asset growth and increases in market value. AUM were $279 billion as at April 30, 2017, an increase of $23 billion, or 9%, compared with the second quarter last year, reflecting increases in market value and new asset growth.

PCL for the quarter was $235 million, a decrease of $27 million, or 10%, compared with the second quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was $227 million, a decrease of $25 million, or 10%. The decrease reflects lower provisions in the auto lending portfolio, credit cards, and personal lending in the current quarter. Business banking PCL was $8 million, a decrease of $2 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.26%, or a decrease of 4 bps. Net impaired loans were $661 million, a decrease of $96 million, or 13%. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.18%, compared with 0.21% as at April 30, 2016.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter were $538 million, an increase of $8 million, or 2%, compared with the second quarter last year, reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to non-interest income and more severe weather conditions, partially offset by more favourable prior years' claims development.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,218 million, an increase of $123 million, or 6%, compared with the second quarter last year. The increase reflects higher employee-related expenses including revenue-based variable expenses in the wealth business, higher investment in strategic technology initiatives including digitizing the customer experience and enhancing our product suite and business growth, partially offset by productivity savings.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 43.2%, compared with 42.9% in the second quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q1 2017
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter increased $4 million, compared with the prior quarter. The increase in earnings reflects lower insurance claims and lower PCL, partially offset by lower revenue due to the effects of fewer days in the second quarter. The annualized ROE for the quarter was 45.0%, compared with 43.2% in the prior quarter.

Revenue decreased $71 million, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter. Net interest income decreased $80 million, or 3%, reflecting the effects of fewer days in the second quarter. Non-interest income increased $9 million, reflecting changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to insurance claims and related expenses and the impact of investment activities, partially offset by lower insurance premiums and lower personal and business banking fee-based revenue. Margin on average earning assets was 2.81%, or a decrease of 1 basis point, reflecting competitive pricing and a low interest rate environment.

Average loan volumes increased $2 billion, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $2 billion, or 1%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting 1% growth in personal deposit volumes, relatively flat business deposit volumes and 1% growth in wealth deposit volumes.

AUA increased $14 billion, or 4%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting new asset growth and increases in market value. AUM increased $13 billion, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting increases in market value.

PCL for the quarter decreased $34 million, or 13%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal banking PCL for the quarter decreased $31 million, or 12%, reflecting lower provisions in the auto lending portfolio in the current quarter. Business banking PCL decreased $3 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.26%, or a decrease of 3 bps. Net impaired loans decreased $54 million, or 8%. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.18%, compared with 0.19% as at January 31, 2017.

Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter decreased $36 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter, reflecting seasonality of claims and more favourable prior years' claims development, partially offset by changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar increase to non-interest income and more severe weather conditions.

Non-interest expenses decreased $7 million, reflecting the effects of fewer days in the second quarter, partially offset by business growth.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 43.2%, compared with 42.8% in the prior quarter.

Year-to-date comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q2 2016
Canadian Retail net income for the six months ended April 30, 2017, was $3,136 million, an increase of $159 million, or 5%, compared with same period last year. The increase in earnings reflects revenue growth and lower insurance claims, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses, higher PCL and the effect of one less day. The annualized ROE for the period was 44.0%, compared with 42.1% last year.

Revenue for the period was $10,335 million, an increase of $417 million, or 4%, compared with same period last year. Net interest income increased $237 million, or 5%, reflecting loan and deposit volume growth, partially offset by lower margins and the effect of one less day in the current period. Non-interest income increased $180 million, or 4%, reflecting wealth asset growth and higher personal and business banking fee-based revenue, partially offset by lower insurance premiums and changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar reduction to insurance claims and related expenses. Margin on average earning assets was 2.81%, a 2 bps increase, reflecting favourable balance sheet mix, partially offset by the low interest rate environment and competitive pricing.

Average loan volumes increased $15 billion, or 4%, compared with last year, reflecting 3% growth in personal loan volumes and 9% growth in business loan volumes. Average deposit volumes increased $31 billion, or 11%, compared with the same period last year, reflecting 8% growth in personal deposit volumes, 16% growth in business deposit volumes and 23% growth in wealth deposit volumes.

Business banking PCL was $19 million, an increase of $6 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.27%, or relatively flat, compared with same period last year.

Insurance claims and related expenses were $1,112 million, a decrease of $73 million, or 6%, compared with same period last year, reflecting favourable prior years' claims development, changes in the fair value of investments supporting claims liabilities which resulted in a similar reduction to non-interest income, lower current year claims, partially offset by more severe weather conditions.

Non-interest expenses were $4,443 million, an increase of $269 million, or 6%, compared with the same period last year. The increase reflects higher employee-related expenses including revenue-based variable expenses in the wealth business, higher investment in strategic technology initiatives including digitizing the customer experience and enhancing our product suite and business growth, partially offset by productivity savings.

The efficiency ratio was 43.0%, compared with 42.1% for the same period last year.

U.S. Retail Bank net income for the quarter increased US$95 million, or 21%, compared with the same quarter last year, due to higher loan and deposit volumes, higher deposit margins, and fee income growth, partially offset by higher expenses.

U.S. Retail Bank revenue is derived from personal and business banking, wealth management services, and investments. Revenue for the quarter was US$1,889 million, an increase of US$164 million, or 10%, compared with the same quarter last year. Net interest income increased US$83 million, or 6%, primarily due to a more favourable interest rate environment and continuing growth in loan and deposit volumes, partially offset by the effect of one less day in the quarter and the prior year accounting impact from balance sheet management activities, which was largely offset in Non-interest income. Margin on average earning assets was 3.05%, a 6 bps decrease due to the same accounting impact. Excluding this impact, margin was up 5 bps, primarily reflecting higher deposit margins, partially offset by balance sheet mix and accretion. Non-interest income increased US$81 million, or 19%, reflecting fee income growth in personal banking and wealth management, and a favourable accounting impact from balance sheet management activities.

Average loan volumes increased US$9 billion, or 6%, compared with the same quarter last year, due to growth in personal loans of 3% and business loans of 9%.

PCL for the quarter was US$114 million, a decrease of US$9 million, or 7%, compared with the same quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was US$105 million, an increase of US$19 million, or 22%, primarily due to higher provisions related to mix in auto lending and credit cards. Business banking PCL was US$13 million, a US$23 million decrease, primarily due to higher increase in commercial allowance in the prior year. PCL associated with debt securities classified as loans was US$(4) million, a decrease of US$5 million, due to a recovery in the current quarter. Net impaired loans, excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, were US$1.4 billion, a decrease of US$218 million, or 13%. The decrease was mainly related to certain legacy home equity loans returning to performing status after demonstrating a sustained ability to pay. Net impaired loans, excluding ACI loans and debt securities classified as loans, as a percentage of total loans were 1.0% as at April 30, 2017, a decrease of 21 bps compared with the same quarter last year.

Non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$1,088 million, an increase of US$21 million, or 2%, compared with the same quarter last year, reflecting volume growth, higher employee costs, and additional charges by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), partially offset by productivity savings.

^1	Effective February 1, 2017, the total gains and losses on derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale securities portfolio are recorded in Wholesale Banking, previously reported in the Corporate segment and treated as an item of note. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Reconciliation of Adjusted to Reported Net Income" table in the "How We Performed" section of this document.
^2	Includes gross loans and bankers' acceptances, excluding letters of credit, cash collateral, credit default swaps, and reserves for the corporate lending business.

Quarterly comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q2 2016
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $248 million, an increase of $29 million, or 13%, compared with the second quarter last year reflecting higher revenue and a net recovery of credit losses, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and a lower effective tax rate in the second quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q2 2016
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $160 million, compared with a reported net loss of $350 million in the second quarter last year. Reported net loss decreased primarily due to impairment of goodwill, non-financial assets, and other charges relating to the Direct Investing business in Europe and losses related to the fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale securities portfolio, both recognized in the second quarter last year, lower net corporate expenses in the current quarter and higher contribution from Other items. The higher contribution from Other items was largely due to provisions for incurred but not identified credit losses recognized in the second quarter last year and higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities this quarter, partially offset by higher expense provisions this quarter and the positive impact of certain tax items in the same quarter last year. Adjusted net loss was $102 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $120 million in the second quarter last year.

Quarterly comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q1 2017
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the quarter was $160 million, compared with a reported net loss of $100 million in the prior quarter. Reported net loss increased primarily due to gains related to the fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale securities portfolio recognized in the first quarter this year and lower contribution from Other items, partially offset by lower net corporate expenses in the current quarter. Lower contribution from Other items was primarily due to higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities recognized in the first quarter this year and higher expense provisions this quarter. Net corporate expenses were lower largely due to timing of regulatory fees and seasonality of certain other expenses in the first quarter this year. Adjusted net loss was $102 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $75 million in the prior quarter.

Year-to-date comparison – Q2 2017 vs. Q2 2016
Corporate segment's reported net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2017, was $260 million, compared with a reported net loss of $552 million in the same period last year. The decrease in reported net loss was attributable to higher contribution from Other items, impairment of goodwill, non-financial assets, and other charges relating to the Direct Investing business in Europe in the second quarter last year and higher gains on change in fair value of derivatives hedging the reclassified available-for-sale securities portfolio in the first quarter this year, partially offset by higher net corporate expenses. Higher contribution from Other items was primarily due to higher revenue from treasury and balance sheet management activities in the current period, provisions for incurred but not identified credit losses recognized in the prior period, partially offset by the positive impact of certain tax items in the prior year. Net corporate expenses increased primarily due to ongoing investments in enterprise and regulatory projects. Adjusted net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2017, was $177 million, compared with an adjusted net loss of $298 million in the same period last year.
