Q3 2019 Quarterly Report to Shareholders Scotiabank reports third quarter results TORONTO, August 27, 2019 – Scotiabank reported third quarter net income of $1,984 million compared to $1,939 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share were $1.50, compared to $1.55 in the same period a year ago. Return on equity was 11.5% compared to 13.1% a year ago. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts(1), net income increased 9% to $2,455 million and diluted earnings per share were $1.88 compared to $1.76 last year. Return on equity was 14.3% compared to 14.5% a year ago. “Meaningful progress was made this quarter to reposition the Bank and simplify the operations. As a result, we are better positioned for growth in our key markets. We formalized agreements to reduce our investment in Thailand and announced the divestiture of our operations in Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. The repositioning of our international footprint is now substantially complete” said Brian Porter, President and CEO of Scotiabank. “Canadian Banking reported good results this quarter, producing positive operating leverage, margin expansion, and double-digit deposit growth. Canadian Wealth Management earnings grew 20%, with good organic growth and strong contributions from MD Financial and Jarislowsky Fraser. “International Banking delivered another quarter of double-digit earnings growth. The business remains focused on successfully integrating our recent acquisitions while continuing to drive organic growth. We continue to see strong growth in the Pacific Alliance countries, led by Chile and Peru. “The Bank continued to maintain strong capital ratios and reported a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.2%, or 11.7% on a pro-forma basis, including the estimated impact from announced divestitures. This quarter we announced a 3 cent increase in the quarterly dividend to 90 cents per common share, 6% higher than a year ago. “We are pleased that a number of key milestones were achieved this quarter in delivering digital innovations for our customers, including being recognized as the industry leader in mobile banking by J.D. Power and launching our new mobile banking app in Canada. In addition, Tangerine benefitted from our long-term partnership with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment as the Official Bank of the 2019 NBA Championships. We remain focused on achieving strong consistent long-term results for our shareholders.” Live audio Web broadcast of the Bank’s analysts’ conference call. See page 74 for details.

Forward-looking statements From time to time, our public communications often include oral or written forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this document, and may be included in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may include forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report under the headings “Outlook” and in other statements regarding the Bank’s objectives, strategies to achieve those objectives, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, anticipated financial results, and the outlook for the Bank’s businesses and for the Canadian, U.S. and global economies. Such statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “foresee,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “would” and “could.”
By their very nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that our predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not be correct and that our financial performance objectives, vision and strategic goals will not be achieved.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of risk factors, many of which are beyond our control and effects of which can be difficult to predict, could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations, targets, estimates or intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements.
The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: general economic and market conditions in the countries in which we operate; changes in currency and interest rates; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank and its affiliates; changes in monetary, fiscal, or economic policy and tax legislation and interpretation; changes in laws and regulations or in supervisory expectations or requirements, including capital, interest rate and liquidity requirements and guidance, and the effect of such changes on funding costs; changes to our credit ratings; operational and infrastructure risks; reputational risks; the accuracy and completeness of information the Bank receives on customers and counterparties; the timely development and introduction of new products and services; our ability to execute our strategic plans, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, including obtaining regulatory approvals; critical accounting estimates and the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations on these estimates; global capital markets activity; the Bank’s ability to attract, develop and retain key executives; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; 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; increased competition in the geographic and in business areas in which we operate, including through internet and mobile banking andnon-traditional competitors; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events; and the Bank’s anticipation of and success in managing the risks implied by the foregoing. A substantial amount of the Bank’s business involves making loans or otherwise committing resources to specific companies, industries or countries. Unforeseen events affecting such borrowers, industries or countries could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s financial results, businesses, financial condition or liquidity. These and other factors may cause the Bank’s actual performance to differ materially from that contemplated by forward-looking statements. 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 information, please see the “Risk Management” section of the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report, as may be updated by quarterly reports.
Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2018 Annual Report under the headings “Outlook”, as updated by quarterly reports. The “Outlook” sections are based on the Bank’s views and the actual outcome is uncertain. Readers should consider the above-noted factors when reviewing these sections. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Bank and its securities, investors and others should carefully consider the preceding factors, other uncertainties and potential events. 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Bank uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance. Some of these measures are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), are not defined by GAAP and do not have standardized meanings that would ensure consistency and comparability among companies using these or similar measures. The Bank believes that certainnon-GAAP measures are useful in assessing ongoing business performance and provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses performance. Thesenon-GAAP measures are used throughout this report and defined below.
Adjusted results and diluted earnings per share
The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP Reported financial results tonon-GAAP Adjusted financial results. The financial results have been adjusted for the following:

The costs for Q3, 2018 relate to BBVA, Chile and Citibank, Colombia. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Core banking assets
Core banking assets are average earning assets excluding bankers’ acceptances and average trading assets within Global Banking and Markets.
Core banking margin
This ratio represents net interest income divided by core banking assets.
Return on equity
Return on equity is a profitability measure that presents the net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of average common shareholders’ equity.
In the first quarter of 2019, in line with OSFI’s increased Domestic Stability Buffer announced requirements, the Bank increased the capital attributed to its business lines to approximate 10.0% of Basel III common equity capital requirements based on credit, market and operational risks and leverage inherent within each business segment. Previously, capital was attributed based on a methodology that approximated 9.5% of Basel III common equity capital requirements.
Return on equity for the business segments is calculated as a ratio of net income attributable to common shareholders of the business segment and the capital attributed. Prior period returns on equity for the business segments have not been restated.

Table of Contents
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
Net income was $6,490 million compared to $6,453 million. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts, net income was $7,009 million compared to $6,799 million, up 3%. Higher net interest income andnon-interest income and lower income taxes were partly offset by highernon-interest expenses and provision for credit losses.
Net interest income
Q3 2019 vs Q3 2018
Net interest income was $4,374 million, an increase of $289 million or 7%, primarily from the impact of acquisitions. Also contributing to the increase was growth in credit cards, automotive and commercial loans in Canadian Banking, commercial and retail lending in International Banking as well as higher corporate loans in Global Banking and Markets. These increases were partly offset by lower contribution from asset/liability management activities and the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
The core banking margin was down one basis point to 2.45%. Lower margins in Global Banking and Markets and on asset/liability management activities were mostly offset by improved business mix related to the impact of acquisitions in International Banking, and improvement in Canadian Banking margin.
Q3 2019 vs Q2 2019
Net interest income was $4,374 million, an increase of $181 million or 4%, primarily from growth in residential mortgages, automotive and commercial loans in Canadian Banking, commercial and retail lending in International Banking and the impact of fewer days in the prior quarter. These increases were partly offset by the impact of foreign currency translation.
The core banking margin was flat at 2.45%. Higher margins in Canadian Banking and on asset/liability management activities were offset by lower margins in International Banking and Global Banking and Markets.
Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
Net interest income was $12,841 million, an increase of $870 million or 7%, mainly from the impact of acquisitions. Also contributing to the increase was growth in commercial and automotive loans in Canadian Banking, commercial and retail lending in International Banking, as well as higher corporate loans in Global Banking and Markets. These increases were partly offset by lower contribution from asset/liability management activities.
The core banking margin was 2.45%, in line with last year. Lower margins in Global Banking and Markets and on asset/liability management activities were mostly offset by improved business mix related to the impact of acquisitions in International Banking, and higher Canadian Banking margin.
Non-interest income
Q3 2019 vs Q3 2018
Non-interest income was $3,285 million, up $189 million or 6%. Adjusting for the Net loss on divestitures,non-interest income increased 16%, with approximately half of this growth from acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven by higher banking and trading revenues. Also contributing were higher income from associated corporations and investment gains. These were partly offset by lower underwriting and advisory fees in Global Banking and Markets, and the impact of the new revenue accounting standard that requires card expenses to be netted against card revenue.
Q3 2019 vs Q2 2019
Non-interest income was down $325 million or 9%. Adjusting for the Net loss on divestitures recorded in the current quarter and the Net gain on divestitures in the prior quarter,non-interest income grew 4%. The growth was driven by higher trading revenues, income from associated corporations and investment gains. These were partly offset by lower underwriting and advisory fees.
Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
Non-interest income was $10,225 million, up $869 million or 9%. Adjusting for the Net loss on divestitures,non-interest income increased 11%, with approximately three quarters of this growth driven by acquisitions. The remaining growth was driven by higher banking revenues, higher investment gains, as well as higher income from associated corporations. These were partly offset by lower brokerage, underwriting and advisory fees, as well as the impact of the new revenue accounting standard that requires card expenses to be netted against card revenue.
Provision for credit losses
Q3 2019 vs Q3 2018
The provision for credit losses was $713 million, a decrease of $230 million or 24%. Adjusting for the Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans recorded last year, the provision for credit losses increased $174 million or 32%, due primarily to higher retail provisions in line with organic and acquisition driven asset growth. The provision for credit losses ratio was 48 basis points and increased eight basis points on an adjusted basis, due to portfolio mix changes.
Provision on impaired loans was $776 million, up $217 million due primarily to higher retail provisions in line with organic and acquisition driven asset growth primarily in International Banking. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 52 basis points, an increase of 11 basis points.
Adjusting for the Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans, provision on performing loans decreased $43 million due primarily to improving retail credit quality, partially offset by the impact of asset growth across both Canadian and International Banking.

The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 49 basis points, an increase of five basis points.
Provision on performing loans was $119 million, compared to $303 million. Adjusting for the impact of Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans, provision for performing loans increased $69 million due partly to movement of hurricane-related commercial provisions to provision on impaired loans last year. Impact of changes in macroeconomic trends in Canada and asset growth in International Banking were partially offset by improved credit quality primarily across retail.
Non-interest expenses
Q3 2019 vs Q3 2018
Non-interest expenses were $4,209 million, up $439 million or 12%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related costs,non-interest expenses grew 11%. Highernon-interest expenses from the impact of acquisitions, partly offset by the impact of the new revenue accounting standard that requires card expenses to be netted against card revenues, contributed approximately 7% of the growth. The remaining 4% increase was due to higher salaries and benefits related to regulatory and technology initiatives and higher depreciation and amortization, performance based compensation, share-based payment and advertising and business development expenses. Partly offsetting were lower professional fees and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.
The productivity ratio was 55.0% compared to 52.5%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts, the productivity ratio was 51.7% compared to 51.8%.
Q3 2019 vs Q2 2019
Non-interest expenses were up $163 million or 4%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related costs,non-interest expenses were up 3%. This was due to higher salaries and depreciation and amortization. This was partly offset by lower technology costs, other employee benefits expense and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.
The productivity ratio was 55.0% compared to 51.8%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts, the productivity ratio was 51.7% compared to 52.3%.
Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
Non-interest expenses increased $1,432 million or 13%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related costs,non-interest expenses grew 12%. The prior year’s remeasurement of an employee benefit liability from certain plan modifications (“benefits remeasurement”), the impact of acquisitions and the impact of the new revenue accounting standard that requires card expenses to be netted against card revenues, contributed to approximately 8% of the growth. The remaining 4% growth was due to investments in technology and regulatory initiatives, higher share-based payment, depreciation and amortization and business and capital taxes. This was partly offset by lower professional fees.
The productivity ratio was 53.9% compared to 51.5%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts and the impact of prior year’s benefits remeasurement, the productivity ratio was 52.7% compared to 51.1%.
Operating leverage on a reported basis was negative 4.9%. Adjusting for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts, operating leverage was negative 3.3%. The benefits remeasurement negatively impacted operating leverage by 2.1%.
Taxes
Q3 2019 vs Q3 2018
The effective tax rate was 27.5%, higher than 21.5% in the same quarter last year, due primarily to higher taxes related to the divestiture of Puerto Rico announced in the quarter. Adjusting for the Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts, the effective tax rate was 21.6% compared to 22.7%.
Q3 2019 vs Q2 2019
The effective tax rate increased to 27.5% from 21.7% last quarter, due primarily to higher taxes related to the divestiture of Puerto Rico announced in the quarter. Adjusting for the Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts, the effective tax rate was 21.6% compared to 22.4%.
Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
The effective tax rate was 22.4%, unchanged from the prior year. Higher tax benefits in certain jurisdictions and higher tax-exempt income were offset by higher taxes related to the divestiture of foreign operations announced in the quarter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Business segment results are presented on a taxable equivalent basis, adjusted for the following:
• | The Bank analyzes revenues on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB) for business lines. This methodology grosses uptax-exempt income earned on certain securities reported in either net interest income ornon-interest income to an equivalent before tax basis. A corresponding increase is made to the provision for income taxes; hence, there is no impact on net income. Management believes that this basis for measurement provides a uniform comparability of net interest income andnon-interest income arising from both taxable andnon-taxable sources and facilitates a consistent basis of measurement. While other banks may also use TEB, their methodology may not be comparable to the Bank’s methodology. A segment’s revenue and provision for income taxes are grossed up by the taxable equivalent amount. The elimination of the TEBgross-up is recorded in the Other segment. |
• | For business line performance assessment and reporting, net income from associated corporations, which is an after tax number, is adjusted to normalize for income taxes. The tax normalization adjustment grosses up the amount of net income from associated corporations and normalizes the effective tax rate in the business lines to better present the contribution of the associated corporations to the business line results. |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
The provision for credit losses was $1,574 million, compared to $1,423 million. Adjusting for the impact of Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans, the provision for credit losses increased $376 million driven by higher retail provisions. Provision on impaired loans was $1,445 million, up $324 million due primarily to organic and acquisition-driven asset growth in the retail portfolio partially offset by lower commercial provisions. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 130 basis points, a decrease of two basis points. Adjusting for the impact of Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans, provision on performing loans increased $52 million. This was due to commercial provisions from movement of hurricane-related provisions to provision on impaired loans last year while retail provisions were lower from strong credit quality, partially offset by the impact of asset growth. On an adjusted basis, the provision for credit losses ratio was 127 basis points, an increase of three basis points.

Year-to-date Q3 2019 vsYear-to-date Q3 2018
Adjusted for Acquisition-related costs, the effective tax rate increased slightly from 22.1% to 23.0% largely driven by higher tax benefits in Mexico in the same period last year.

Trending analysis
Net income
The Bank reported strong net income over the past eight quarters. The current quarter’s earnings were reduced by Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts of $471 million ($393 millionpre-tax), and net income in the third quarter of 2018 was reduced by Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts of $320 million ($453 millionpre-tax).
The first quarter of 2018 included an accounting benefit of $150 million ($203 millionpre-tax) from the remeasurement of an employee benefit liability from certain plan modifications.
Net interest income
Net interest income increased through the period, driven by steady growth in retail loans in Canadian and International Banking, commercial loan growth across all three business lines, strong deposit growth, and the impact of acquisitions. Net interest margin has remained relatively stable over the period. The margin was 2.45% this quarter.
The prior quarter’s net interest income was lower due to the impact of three fewer days in the quarter as well as lower contributions from asset/liability management activities.
Non-interest income
Non-interest income in the current quarter was impacted by the Net loss on divestitures of $306 million. The prior quarter included Net gain on divestitures of $173 million.Non-interest income has generally increased through the period, partly driven by acquisitions, the Net gain on divestitures in the prior quarter, and the Alignment of reporting period for certain units within the Bank. Gains on sale of real estate and the sale of investment securities have moderated since 2017. The sale of the Hollis Wealth business in the fourth quarter of 2017 resulted in a gain that quarter and also contributed to lower wealth management fees in that period.
Provision for credit losses
Effective November 1, 2017, the Bank has adopted IFRS 9. Prior period amounts have not been restated and therefore, the provision for credit losses and related ratios are not directly comparable.
The provision for credit losses was $713 million in this quarter. The provision for credit losses ratio was 48 basis points, a decrease of 13 basis points from the prior quarter which included the Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans of $151 million. The third quarter of 2018 included Day 1 provision on acquired performing loans of $404 million.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses have generally trended upwards over the period, mostly to support business growth, the ongoing impact of acquisitions and the Bank’s investments in technology, regulatory and strategic initiatives. The first quarter of 2018 included a benefits remeasurement of $203 million, reducing that quarter’s expenses.
Income taxes
The effective tax rate was 27.5% this quarter or 21.6% adjusted for Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts. The effective tax rate averaged 22.0% over the period, with a range of 18.1% to 27.5%. Effective tax rates in other quarters were impacted by different levels of income earned in foreign tax jurisdictions, as well as the variability oftax-exempt dividend income.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
The Bank’s total assets as at July 31, 2019 were $1,067 billion, up $68 billion or 7% from October 31, 2018. This increase was primarily in loans, trading securities and securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed, partially offset by a decrease in cash and deposits with financial institutions.
Cash and deposits with financial institutions decreased $17 billion due primarily to lower balances on deposit with central banks, while trading securities increased by $31 billion primarily to hedge client driven transactions. Securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed increased by $15 billion due to increased client demand.
Investment securities increased $4 billion from October 31, 2018 due primarily to higher holdings of corporate debt. As at July 31, 2019, the net unrealized loss on debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income was $25 million, after the impact of qualifying hedges.
Loans increased $37 billion from October 31, 2018. Residential mortgages increased $12 billion due to growth in Canada and Latin America. Personal loans and credit cards grew $4 billion mainly in Latin America and Canada. Business and government loans increased $22 billion due primarily to growth in Canada, Latin America and the U.S.
Total liabilities were $997 billion as at July 31, 2019, up $66 billion or 7% from October 31, 2018.
Total deposits increased $46 billion. Personal deposits grew by $8 billion due primarily to growth in Canada. Business and government deposits grew by $35 billion mainly in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. Deposits from financial institutions increased $3 billion.
Obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lent increased by $19 billion which was in line with higher securities purchased under resale agreements and securities borrowed. Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss increased $3 billion and other liabilities increased $3 billion, while obligations related to securities sold short decreased by $6 billion.
Total shareholders’ equity increased $2,451 million from October 31, 2018. This increase was driven mainly by current year earnings of $6,490 million. Partly offsetting were dividends paid of $3,284 million, the repurchase and cancellation of approximately 10 million common shares of $719 million and the redemption of preferred shares of $300 million.
The Bank’s risk management policies, practices and emerging risks have not substantially changed from those outlined in the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report. For a complete discussion of the risk management policies and practices and additional information on risk factors, refer to the “Risk Management” section in the 2018 Annual Report.
Credit risk
Allowance for credit losses
The total allowance for credit losses as at July 31, 2019 was $5,273 million. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $5,194 million, down $101 million, due primarily to new provisions being offset by write-offs and the impact of foreign currency translation.
The allowance on impaired loans increased $1 million to $1,670 million from last quarter as new provisions were offset by write-offs. The allowance against performing loans was lower at $3,524 million compared to $3,626 million as at April 30, 2019, driven by decreases in retail allowances primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation.
Impaired loans
Total gross impaired loans as at July 31, 2019 were $5,229 million, down from $5,364 million as at April 30, 2019, due primarily to the impact of foreign currency translation.
Net impaired loans in Canadian Banking were $706 million as at July 31, 2019, a decrease of $1 million from April 30, 2019. International Banking’s net impaired loans were $2,688 million as at July 31, 2019, a decrease of $55 million from April 30, 2019. In Global Banking and Markets, net impaired loans were $165 million as at July 31, 2019, a decrease of $80 million from April 30, 2019 due largely to reversals during the quarter. Net impaired loans as a percentage of loans and acceptances were 0.58% as at July 31, 2019, a decrease of three basis points from last quarter.
Overview of loan portfolio
The Bank has a well-diversified portfolio by product, business and geography. Details of certain portfolios of current focus are highlighted below.
Real estate secured lending
A large portion of the Bank’s lending portfolio is comprised of residential mortgages and consumer loans, which are well diversified by borrower. As at July 31, 2019, these loans amounted to $382 billion or 63% of the Bank’s total loans and acceptances outstanding (April 30, 2019 – $376 billion or 63%; October 31, 2018 – $366 billion or 64%). Of these, $286 billion or 75% are real estate secured loans (April 30, 2019 – $282 billion or 75%; October 31, 2018 – $274 billion or 75%). The tables below provide more details by portfolios.

Potential impact on residential mortgages and real estate home equity lines of credit in the event of an economic downturn
The Bank stresses its mortgage book to determine the impact of a variety of combinations of home price declines, unemployment increases and rising interest rates. It benchmarks the scenarios against experience in various historical downturns to confirm that they are sufficiently robust tests of the portfolio. In stress, there are moderate increases in credit losses and negative impacts on capital ratios but within a level the Bank considers manageable. In practice, the portfolio is robust to such scenarios due to the low LTV of the book, the high proportion of insured exposures and the diversified composition of the portfolio.
European exposures
The Bank believes that its European exposures are manageable, are sized appropriately relative to the credit worthiness of the counterparties (90% of the exposures are to investment grade counterparties based on a combination of internal and external ratings), and are modest relative to the capital levels of the Bank. The Bank’s European exposures are classified at amortized cost or fair value using observable inputs, with negligible amounts valued using models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). There were no significant events in the quarter that have materially impacted the Bank’s exposures.
The Bank’s exposure to sovereigns was $6.9 billion as at July 31, 2019 (April 30, 2019 – $7.3 billion; October 31, 2018 – $8.5 billion), $5.5 billion to banks (April 30, 2019 – $3.6 billion; October 31, 2018 – $5.8 billion) and $16.7 billion to corporates (April 30, 2019 – $16.9 billion; October 31, 2018 – $15.8 billion).
In addition to exposures detailed in the table below, the Bank had indirect exposures consisting of securities exposures tonon-European entities whose parent company is domiciled in Europe of $1.0 billion as at July 31, 2019 (April 30, 2019 – $0.8 billion; October 31, 2018 – $0.7 billion).

In the third quarter of 2019, the averageone-day Total VaR increased to $11.9 million from $11.3 million in the previous quarter, primarily driven by increased exposures to credit spreads and equity prices.
The averageone-day Total Stressed VaR increased during the quarter to $37.3 million from $33.7 million in the previous quarter, primarily due to lower yields and declining equity prices. Stressed VaR is calculated using market volatility from aone-year period identified as stressful given the risk profile of the trading portfolio. The current period is the 2008/2009 credit crisis.
There were nil trading loss days in the third quarter, compared to 1 trading loss day the previous quarter. The quality and accuracy of the VaR models is validated by backtesting, which compares daily actual and theoretical profit and loss with the daily output of the VaR model.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss due to the following: changes in the level, slope and curvature of the yield curve; the volatility of interest rates and changes in customer preferences (e.g. mortgage prepayment rates).

The asset/liability management strategy is executed by Group Treasury with the objective of protecting and enhancing net interest income within established risk tolerances.
The Bank supplements the immediate rate change impact analysis described above with more sophisticated analyses and tools for actual risk management purposes.
Market risk linkage to Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
Trading assets and liabilities are marked to market daily and included in trading risk measures such as VaR. Derivatives captured under trading risk measures are related to the activities of Global Banking and Markets, while derivatives captured undernon-trading risk measures comprise those used in asset/liability management and designated in a hedge relationship. A comparison of Consolidated Statement of Financial Position items which are covered under the trading andnon-trading risk measures is provided in the table below.

Liquidity risk
Effective liquidity risk management is essential to maintain the confidence of depositors and counterparties, manage the Bank’s cost of funds and to support core business activities, even under adverse circumstances.
Liquidity risk is managed within a framework of policies and limits that are approved by the Board of Directors, as outlined in Note 20 to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 37 of the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report. Liquid assets are a key component of this framework.
The determination of the appropriate levels for liquid asset portfolios is based on the amount of liquidity the Bank might need to fund expected cash flows in the normal course of business, as well as what might be required in periods of stress to meet cash outflows. Stress events include periods when there are disruptions in the capital markets or events which may impair the Bank’s access to funding markets or liquidity. The Bank uses stress testing to assess the impact of stress events and to assess the amount of liquid assets that would be required in various stress scenarios.
Liquid assets
Liquid assets are a key component of liquidity management and the Bank holds these types of assets in sufficient quantity to meet potential needs for liquidity management.
Liquid assets can be used to generate cash either through sale, repurchase transactions or other transactions where these assets can be used as collateral to generate cash, or by allowing the asset to mature. Liquid assets include deposits with central banks, deposits with financial institutions, call and other short-term loans, marketable securities, precious metals and securities received as collateral from securities financing and derivative transactions. Liquid assets do not include liquidity which may be obtained from central bank facilities.
Marketable securities are securities traded in active markets, which can be converted to cash within a timeframe that is in accordance with the Bank’s liquidity management framework. Assets are assessed considering a number of factors, including the expected time it would take to convert them to cash.
Marketable securities included in liquid assets are comprised of securities specifically held as a liquidity buffer or for asset/liability management purposes; trading securities, which are primarily held by Global Banking and Markets; and collateral received for securities financing and derivative transactions.
The Bank maintains large holdings of unencumbered liquid assets to support its operations. These assets generally can be sold or pledged to meet the Bank’s obligations. As at July 31, 2019, unencumbered liquid assets were $217 billion (October 31, 2018 – $202 billion). Securities including National Housing Act (NHA) mortgage-backed securities, comprised 82% of liquid assets (October 31, 2018 – 71%). Other unencumbered liquid assets, comprising cash and deposits with central banks, deposits with financial institutions, precious metals and call and short loans were 18% (October 31, 2018 – 29%). The increase in total liquid assets was mainly attributable to growth in the securities portfolio, which was partially offset by a decrease in cash and deposits with central banks and deposits with financial institutions.
The carrying values outlined in the liquid asset table are consistent with the carrying values in the Bank’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at July 31, 2019. The liquidity value of the portfolio will vary under different stress events as different assumptions are used for the stress scenarios.

(1) | Assets which are restricted from being used to secure funding for legal or other reasons. |
(2) | Assets that are readily available in the normal course of business to secure funding or meet collateral needs including central bank borrowing immediately available. |
(3) | Other unencumbered assets are not subject to any restrictions on their use to secure funding or as collateral but the Bank would not consider them to be readily available. These include loans, a portion of which may be used to access central bank facilities outside of the normal course or to raise secured funding through the Bank’s secured funding programs. |
(4) | Securities received as collateral against other financial assets are included within liquid securities and other securities. |
As of July 31, 2019, total encumbered assets of the Bank were $292 billion (October 31, 2018 – $276 billion). Of the remaining $821 billion (October 31, 2018 – $776 billion) of unencumbered assets, $230 billion (October 31, 2018 – $215 billion) are considered readily available in the normal course of business to secure funding or meet collateral needs as detailed above.
In someover-the-counter derivative contracts, the Bank would be required to post additional collateral or receive less collateral in the event its credit rating was downgraded. The Bank maintains access to sufficient collateral to meet these obligations in the event of a downgrade of its ratings by one or more of the rating agencies. As at July 31, 2019, the potential adverse impact on derivatives collateral that would result from aone-notch ortwo-notch downgrade of the Bank’s rating below its lowest current rating, was $27 million or $92 million, respectively.
Encumbered liquid assets are not considered to be available for liquidity management purposes. Liquid assets which are used to hedge derivative positions in trading books or for hedging purposes are considered to be available for liquidity management provided they meet the criteria discussed in liquid assets above.
Liquidity coverage ratio
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) measure is based on a30-day liquidity stress scenario, with assumptions defined in the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline. The LCR is calculated as the ratio of high quality liquid assets (HQLA) to net cash outflows. The Bank is subject to a regulatory minimum LCR of 100%.
HQLA are defined in the LAR Guideline, and are grouped into three main categories, with varying haircuts applied to arrive at the amount included in the total weighted value in the table that follows.
The total weighted values for net cash outflows for the next 30 days are derived by applying the assumptions specified in the LAR Guideline to specific items, including loans, deposits, maturing debt, derivative transactions and commitments to extend credit.

HQLA is substantially comprised of Level 1 assets (as defined in the LAR guideline), such as cash, deposits with central banks, central bank reserves available to the Bank in times of stress and securities with a 0% risk weight, as defined under OSFI Capital Adequacy guidelines.
The decrease in the Bank’s average LCR for the quarter ended July 31, 2019 versus the average of the previous quarter was attributable to normal business activities. The Bank’s significant operating currencies are Canadian and U.S. dollars. The Bank monitors its significant currency exposures in accordance with its liquidity risk management framework and risk appetite.
Funding
The Bank ensures that its funding sources are well diversified. Funding concentrations are regularly monitored and analyzed by type. The sources of funding are capital, deposits from retail and commercial clients sourced through the Canadian and international branch network, deposits from financial institutions as well as wholesale debt issuances.
Capital and personal deposits are key components of the Bank’s core funding and these amounted to $303 billion as at July 31, 2019 (October 31, 2018 – $289 billion). The increase since October 31, 2018 was primarily driven by personal deposit growth, issuance of subordinated debentures and internal capital generation net of redemption of additional tier 1 securities. A portion of commercial deposits, particularly those of an operating or relationship nature, would be considered part of the Bank’s core funding. Furthermore, core funding is augmented by longer-term wholesale debt issuances (original maturity over 365 days) of $154 billion (October 31, 2018 – $157 billion). Longer-term wholesale debt issuances include medium-term notes, mortgage securitizations, asset-backed securities and covered bonds.
The Bank operates in many different currencies and countries. From a funding perspective, the most significant currencies are Canadian and U.S. dollars. With respect to the Bank’s operations outside Canada, there are different funding strategies depending on the nature of the activities in a country. For those countries where the Bank operates a branch banking subsidiary, the strategy is for the subsidiary to be substantially self-funding in its local market. For other subsidiaries or branches outside Canada where local deposit gathering capability is not sufficient, funding is provided through the wholesale funding activities of the Bank.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
From an overall funding perspective the Bank’s objective is to achieve an appropriate balance between the cost and the stability of funding. Diversification of funding sources is a key element of the funding strategy.
The Bank’s wholesale debt diversification strategy is primarily executed via the Bank’s main wholesale funding centres, located in Toronto, New York, London and Singapore. The funding strategy deployed by wholesale funding centres and the management of associated risks, such as geographic and currency risk, is managed centrally within the framework of policies and limits that are approved by the Board of Directors.
In the normal course, the Bank uses a mix of unsecured and secured wholesale funding instruments across a variety of markets. The choice of instruments and markets is based on a number of factors, including relative cost and market capacity as well as an objective of maintaining a diversified mix of funding sources. Market conditions can change over time, impacting cost and capacity in particular markets or instruments. Changing market conditions can include periods of stress where the availability of funding in particular markets or instruments is constrained. In these circumstances, the Bank would increase its focus on sources of funding in functioning markets and secured funding instruments. Should a period of extreme stress exist such that all wholesale funding sources are constrained, the Bank maintains a pool of liquid assets to mitigate its liquidity risk. This pool includes cash, deposits with central banks and securities.
In Canada, the Bank raises short- and longer-term wholesale debt through the issuance of senior unsecured notes. Additional longer-term wholesale debt may be generated through the Bank’s Canadian Debt and Equity Shelf, the securitization of Canadian insured residential mortgages through CMHC securitization programs (such as Canada Mortgage Bonds), uninsured residential mortgages through the Bank’s Covered Bond Program, unsecured personal lines of credit through the Halifax Receivables Trust program, retail credit card receivables through the Trillium Credit Card Trust II program and retail indirect auto loan receivables through the Securitized Term Auto Receivables Trust program. While the Bank includes CMHC securitization programs in its view of wholesale debt issuance, this source of funding does not entail therun-off risk that can be experienced in funding raised from capital markets.
Outside of Canada, short-term wholesale debt is raised through the issuance of negotiable certificates of deposit in the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and Australia and the issuance of commercial paper in the United States. The Bank operates longer-term wholesale debt issuance registered programs in the United States, such as its SEC Registered Debt and Equity Shelf andnon-registered programs, such as the securitization of retail indirect auto loan receivables through the Securitized Term Auto Receivables Trust program and the securitization of retail credit card receivables through the Trillium Credit Card Trust II program. The Bank’s Covered Bond Program is listed with the U.K. Listing Authority, and the Bank may issue under the program in Europe, the United States, Australia and Switzerland. The Bank also raises longer-term funding across a variety of currencies through its Australian Medium Term Note Programme, European Medium Term Note Programme and Singapore Medium Term Note Programme. The Bank’s European Medium Term Note Programme is listed with the U.K. Listing Authority, Swiss Stock Exchange and the TokyoPro-Bond Market. The Bank’s Singapore Medium Term Note Programme is listed with the Singapore Exchange and the Taiwan Exchange.
The Department of Finance’s bail-in regulations under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) Act and the Bank Act, became effective September 23, 2018. Senior long-term debt issued by the Bank on or after September 23, 2018, that is unsecured or partially secured, has an initial or amended term to maturity greater than 400 days and has been assigned a CUSIP or ISIN or similar identification number, subject to certain exceptions, is subject to the Canadian Bank Recapitalization (Bail-in) regime. Under the Bail-in regime, in circumstances when the Superintendent of Financial Institutions has determined that a bank may no longer be viable, the Governor in Council may, upon a recommendation of the Minister of Finance that they are of the opinion that it is in the public interest to do so, grant an order directing the CDIC to convert all or a portion of certain shares and liabilities of that bank into common shares. As at July 31, 2019, liabilities subject to conversion under the bail-in regime amounted to $7 billion (October 31, 2018 – nil).

Wholesale funding generally bears a higher risk ofrun-off in a stressed environment than other sources of funding. The Bank mitigates this risk through funding diversification, ongoing engagement with investors and by maintaining a large holding of unencumbered liquid assets. Unencumbered liquid assets of $217 billion as at July 31, 2019 (October 31, 2018 – $202 billion) were well in excess of wholesale funding sources which mature in the next twelve months.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Contractual maturities
The table below provides the maturity of assets and liabilities as well as theoff-balance sheet commitments as at July 31, 2019, based on the contractual maturity date. From a liquidity risk perspective the Bank considers factors other than contractual maturity in the assessment of liquid assets or in determining expected future cash flows. In particular, for securities with a fixed maturity date, the ability and time horizon to raise cash from these securities is more relevant to liquidity management than contractual maturity. For other assets and deposits the Bank uses assumptions about rollover rates to assess liquidity risk for normal course and stress scenarios. Similarly, the Bank uses assumptions to assess the potential drawdown of credit commitments in various scenarios.

Credit ratings
Credit ratings are one of the factors that impact the Bank’s access to capital markets and the terms on which it can conduct derivatives, hedging transactions and borrow funds. The credit ratings and outlook that the rating agencies assign to the Bank are based on their own views and methodologies.
The Bank continues to have strong credit ratingsand its deposits and legacy senior debt are rated AA by DBRS, Aa2 by Moody’s,AA- by Fitch and A+ by Standard and Poor’s (S&P). The Bank’s bail-inable senior debt is rated AA (low) by DBRS, A2 by Moody’s,AA- by Fitch andA- by S&P. All four credit rating agencies have a stable outlook on the Bank.
There were no changes to the Bank’s credit ratings during the quarter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
We continue to manage our capital in accordance with the capital management framework as described on pages 55 to 67 of the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report.
Domestic Stability Buffer
In June 2019, OSFI announced a 25 basis point increase to the Domestic Stability Buffer to 2.0% of total risk-weighted assets, effective October 31, 2019. OSFI’s minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements, including the Domestic Systemically Important Banks(D-SIB) 1.0% surcharge and the Domestic Stability Buffer of 2.0%, are 10.0%, 11.5% and 13.5% for Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, respectively.
In addition, we continue to monitor and prepare for new regulatory capital developments to ensure compliance with these requirements. There were no new OSFI requirements this quarter.
Capital ratios
The Bank’s various regulatory capital measures consist of the following:

(1) | In accordance with OSFI’s requirements, effective January 31, 2019, CVA risk-weighted assets have been fullyphased-in. In the prior year, CVA RWA were calculated using scalars of 0.80, 0.83 and 0.86 to compute CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, respectively. |
(2) | As at July 31, 2019, April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018, the Bank did not have a regulatory capital flooradd-on for CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital RWA. |
The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 11.2% at July 31, 2019, an increase of approximately 10 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily due to strong internal capital generation which was partly offset by organic growth in risk-weighted assets, the impact from employee pension and post-retirement benefits on accumulated other comprehensive income, and share buybacks under the Bank’s Normal Course Issuer Bid.
The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.3%, a decline of approximately 20 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily due to the redemption of $650 million of Scotiabank Tier 1 Trust Securities, partly offset by the above impacts to the Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio. In addition, the Total Capital ratio increased by approximately 10 basis points during the quarter to 14.8%, primarily due to the issuance of $1.5 billion of subordinated debentures.
The Bank’s Leverage ratio was 4.2% at July 31, 2019, a decline of approximately 10 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily due to the redemption of Scotiabank Tier 1 Trust Securities noted above and growth from the Bank’s consolidated balance sheet assets.
As at July 31, 2019, the CET1, Tier 1, Total capital and Leverage ratios were well above OSFI’s minimum capital ratios.
Changes in regulatory capital
The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital was $46.6 billion, as at July 31, 2019, an increase of approximately $0.4 billion during the quarter. Strong internal capital generation of $0.8 billion net of the accounting impact from the announced divestiture of Puerto Rico, and decreases to regulatory capital deductions of $0.8 billion were partly offset by lower accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.0 billion, excluding the impact from cash flow hedges, and share buybacks net of share issuances of $0.2 billion.
Risk-weighted assets
CET1 risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased by $1.8 billion or 0.4% during the quarter to $417.1 billion, due primarily to organic growth in RWA driven by good asset growth across all business lines, partly offset by the impact from foreign currency translation from a stronger Canadian dollar.
Normal Course Issuer Bid
On May 30, 2019, the Bank announced that OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange have approved a normal course issuer bid (the “2019 NCIB”) pursuant to which it may repurchase for cancellation up to 24 million of the Bank’s common shares. Purchases under the 2019 NCIB commenced on June 4, 2019 and terminate upon earlier of: (i) the Bank purchasing the maximum number of common shares under the 2019 NCIB, (ii) the Bank providing a notice of termination, or (iii) June 3, 2020. On a quarterly basis, the Bank will notify OSFI prior to making purchases.
On May 29, 2018, the Bank announced that OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) approved a normal course issuer bid (the “2018 NCIB”) pursuant to which it may repurchase for cancellation up to 24 million of the Bank’s common shares. This 2018 NCIB terminated on June 3, 2019.
During the quarter, the Bank repurchased and cancelled approximately 2.8 million common shares at a volume weighted average price of $70.28 per share for a total amount of $195 million. During the nine months ended July 31, 2019, the Bank repurchased and cancelled approximately 10 million common shares under these plans at a volume weighted average price of $71.66 per share for a total amount of $719 million.
Under the 2018 NCIB, which terminated on June 3, 2019, the Bank cumulatively repurchased and cancelled approximately 14.8 million common shares at an average price of $73.46 per share. Under the 2019 NCIB, the Bank has cumulatively repurchased and cancelled approximately 1.2 million common shares at an average price of $70.24 per share.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Common dividend
The Board of Directors, at its meeting on August 26, 2019, approved a dividend of 90 cents per share. This quarterly dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of October 1, 2019 on October 29, 2019.
Given the nature of the Bank’s main business activities, financial instruments make up a substantial portion of the balance sheet and are integral to the Bank’s business. There are various measures that reflect the level of risk associated with the Bank’s portfolio of financial instruments. Further discussion of some of these risk measures is included in the Risk Management section. The methods of determining the fair value of financial instruments are detailed on page 169 of the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report.
Management’s judgment on valuation inputs is necessary when observable market data is not available, and in the selection of appropriate valuation models. Uncertainty in these estimates and judgments can affect fair value and financial results recorded. During the quarter, changes in the fair value of financial instruments generally arose from normal economic, industry and market conditions.
Many financial instruments are traded products such as derivatives, and are generally transacted under industry standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements with counterparties, which allow for a single net settlement of all transactions covered by that agreement in the event of a default or early termination of the transactions. ISDA agreements are frequently accompanied by an ISDA Credit Support Annex (CSA), the terms of which may vary according to each party’s view of the other party’s creditworthiness. CSAs can require one party to post initial margin at the onset of each transaction. CSAs also allow for variation margin to be called if total uncollateralizedmark-to-market exposure exceeds an agreed upon threshold. Such variation margin provisions can beone-way (only one party will ever post collateral) orbi-lateral (either party may post depending upon which party isin-the-money). The CSA will also detail the types of collateral that are acceptable to each party, and the haircuts that will be applied against each collateral type. The terms of the ISDA master netting agreements and CSAs are taken into consideration in the calculation of counterparty credit risk exposure (see also page 85 of the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report).
Total derivative notional amounts were $5,438 billion as at July 31, 2019, compared to $5,466 billion as at April 30, 2019 (October 31, 2018 – $5,334 billion). The quarterly decrease was primarily due to foreign currency translation offset by higher volumes of currency contracts. The total notional amount ofover-the-counter derivatives was $5,203 billion compared to $5,247 billion as at April 30, 2019 (October 31, 2018 – $5,097 billion), of which $3,520 billion was settled through central counterparties as at July 31, 2019 (April 30, 2019 – $3,582 billion; October 31, 2018 – $3,523 billion). The credit equivalent amount, after taking master netting arrangements into account, was $30.2 billion, compared to $28.1 billion at April 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the market value of interest rate and currency derivative contracts offset by foreign currency translation.
Selected credit instruments
A complete discussion of selected credit instruments which markets regarded as higher risk during the financial crisis was provided on page 71 of the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report. The Bank’s net exposures have substantially remained unchanged from year end.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Bank enters into contractual arrangements that are either consolidated or not required to be consolidated in its financial statements, but could have a current or future impact on the Bank’s financial performance or financial condition. These arrangements can be classified into the following categories: structured entities, securitizations and guarantees and other commitments.
No material contractual obligations were entered into this quarter by the Bank with the structured entities that are not in the ordinary course of business. During the quarter, Scotiabank Tier 1 Trust, an unconsolidated structured entity of the Bank, was wound up following the redemption of $650 million Scotiabank Tier 1 Securities – Series2009-1. The Bank securitizes a portion of its unsecured personal lines of credit, credit card and auto loan receivables through consolidated structured entities, namely, Halifax Receivables Trust, Trillium Credit Card Trust II and Securitized Term Auto Receivables Trusts. During the quarter the Bank did not enter into any new securitization arrangements but securitized the following receivables in February 2019:
• | $1,792 million of its Canadian credit card receivables (receivables) were securitized on a revolving basis through Trillium Credit Card Trust II (Trillium), a Bank-sponsored consolidated structured entity. Trillium issued Series2019-1 and Series2019-2 Class A senior notes and Class B and Class C subordinated notes to third-party investors. The proceeds of such issuances were used to purchase aco-ownership interest in the receivables originated by the Bank. Recourse of the noteholders is limited to the purchasedco-ownership interest. The sale of suchco-ownership interest did not qualify for derecognition, and therefore the receivables continue to be recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. |
• | $896 million of its Canadian auto loan receivables were securitized through Securitized Term Auto Receivables Trust2019-1 (START2019-1), a Bank-sponsored consolidated structured entity. START2019-1 issued multiple series of Class A notes to third-party investors and issuedClass A-1 and subordinated notes to the Bank. The proceeds of such issuances are used to purchase a discrete pool of retail indirect auto loan receivables from the Bank on a fully serviced basis. Recourse of the noteholders is limited to the securitized loan receivables. The sale of such receivables did not qualify for derecognition and therefore the receivables continue to be recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The subordinated notes issued by START2019-1 and held by the Bank of $45 million are eliminated upon consolidation. |
Processes for review and approval of these contractual arrangements are unchanged from last year.
For a complete discussion of these types of arrangements, please refer to pages 67 to 69 of the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report.
Structured entities
The Bank sponsors two Canadian multi-seller conduits that are not consolidated. These multi-seller conduits purchase high-quality financial assets and finance these assets through the issuance of highly rated commercial paper.
Although the Bank has power over the relevant activities of the conduits, it has limited exposure to variability in returns, which results in the Bank not consolidating the two Canadian conduits.
A significant portion of the conduits’ assets have been structured to receive credit enhancements from the sellers, including overcollateralization protection and cash reserve accounts. Each asset purchased by the conduits is supported by a backstop liquidity facility provided by the Bank in the form of a liquidity asset purchase agreement (LAPA). The primary purpose of the backstop liquidity facility is to provide an alternative source of financing in the event the conduits are unable to access the commercial paper market. Under the terms of the LAPA, in most cases, the Bank is not obliged to purchase defaulted assets.
The Bank’s primary exposure to the Canadian-based conduits is the liquidity support provided, with total liquidity facilities of $4.0 billion as at July 31, 2019 (October 31, 2018 – $4.0 billion). As at July 31, 2019, total commercial paper outstanding for these conduits was $3.0 billion (October 31, 2018 – $3.2 billion). Funded assets purchased and held by these conduits as at July 31, 2019, as reflected at original cost, were $3.0 billion (October 31, 2018 – $3.2 billion). The fair value of these assets approximates original cost. There has been no significant change in the composition or risk profile of these conduits since October 31, 2018.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Otheroff-balance sheet arrangements
Guarantees and other indirect commitments increased by 1% from October 31, 2018. The increase is due to higher volumes in undrawn loan commitments. Fees from guarantees and loan commitment arrangements recorded as credit fees innon-interest income – banking were $147 million for the three months ended July 31, 2019, compared to $143 million in the previous quarter.
The Bank continues to monitor and respond to global regulatory developments relating to a broad spectrum of topics, in order to ensure that control and business units are responsive on a timely basis and business impacts, if any, are minimized.
Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC)
On April 18, 2018, OSFI issued guidelines on Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC), which apply to Canada’s Domestic Systemically Important Banks as part of the Federal Government’sbail-in regime. The standards address the sufficiency of a systemically important bank’s loss absorbing capacity in supporting its recapitalization in the event of its failure. OSFI requires systemically important banks to maintain a minimum of 21.5% plus the domestic stability buffer of TLAC eligible instruments relative to their RWAs and 6.75% relative to their leverage exposures. The Bank is required to comply with the minimum TLAC requirements by November 1, 2021 and began disclosing its TLAC ratios as of the first quarter of 2019.
United Kingdom and European Regulatory Reform
The UK gave formal notice of intention to withdraw from the EU on March 29, 2017. Negotiation of the terms of withdrawal are ongoing and the final date for the UK to leave the EU has been extended until October 31, 2019. Withdrawal may be earlier if the UK Parliament ratifies the agreement that has already been negotiated with the EU or if an amended agreement is negotiated and ratified by both the EU and the UK. Political agreement has been reached on a transition period, which would extend until at least December 31, 2020, providing additional time in which to ensure readiness, subject to the overall withdrawal agreement being concluded and ratified. If this occurs, then all EU legislation will continue to apply in the UK during such transition.
There remains a possibility that the UK will leave the EU on or before October 31, 2019 without having a withdrawal agreement in place (aso-called “hard” Brexit).
The UK’s exit from the EU may result in significant changes in law(s), which may impact the Bank’s business, financial condition and/or results of operations and could adversely impact the Bank’s cost of funding in Europe. The Bank continually monitors developments to prepare for changes that have the potential to impact its operations in the UK and elsewhere in Europe and is developing and revising its contingency plans accordingly.
Regulatory Initiatives Impacting Financial Services in Canada
On July 25, 2019, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) released a new voluntary principles-based Code of Conduct for the delivery of banking services to seniors, defined as an individual in Canada who is 60 years of age or older and who is transacting fornon-business purposes. The Code is to be adopted on publication, with additional timelines starting in January 2020. The FCAC will monitor compliance with the Code. Industry consultation continues with the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) and Department of Finance regarding the interpretation of the new Federal Consumer Protection Framework (BillC-86). The new consumer protection framework and regulations are expected to be implemented by the fall of 2021, although no date has been formally set.
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision – Finalized Basel III reforms
In December 2017, the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision (GHOS), the oversight body of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), announced that they have agreed on an output floor of 72.5% and have finalized the remaining Basel III reforms.
The final Basel III reform package includes: a revised standardized approach for credit risk; revisions to the internal ratings-based approach for credit risk; revisions to the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) framework, including the removal of the internally modelled approach and the introduction of a revised standardized approach; a revised standardized approach for operational risk, which will replace the existing standardized approaches and the advanced measurement approaches; revisions to the measurement of the leverage ratio and a leverage ratio buffer for global systemically important banks(G-SIBs), which will take the form of a Tier 1 capital buffer set at 50% of aG-SIB’s risk-weighted capital buffer; and an aggregate output floor, which will ensure that banks’ risk-weighted assets (RWAs) generated by internal models are no lower than 72.5% of RWAs as calculated by the Basel III framework’s standardized approaches. Banks will also be required to disclose their RWAs based on these standardized approaches. Implementation of the new Basel III standards will be required in 2022. This includes the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) rules, which represents a delay from 2020. There is aphase-in period for the 72.5% output floor from January 1, 2022 until January 2027.
In July 2018, OSFI issued a discussion paper seeking views from interested stakeholders on its proposed policy direction and its timelines for implementation of the final Basel III reforms in Canada. OSFI supports the changes proposed within the final Basel III reforms and intends to implement them domestically, while also considering the adjustments required to recognize the unique characteristics of the Canadian market, improving risk sensitivity and providing the right incentives, while promoting the safety and soundness of deposit taking institutions in consideration of level playing field and competitiveness issues. As part of these adjustments, OSFI is considering eliminating the BCBS’ transitional provisions for the output floor, setting the output floor at 72.5% commencing the first quarter of 2022. Responses to the questions raised within the discussion paper were due to OSFI by October 19, 2018. The Bank will continue to monitor and prepare for developments impacting regulatory capital requirements.
Regulatory Capital Pillar 3 Disclosure Requirements
In December 2018, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued an update to its Pillar 3 disclosure requirements framework, as the third phase of the Committee’s disclosure project, which builds on the first and second phases, published by the Committee in January 2015 and March 2017, respectively. The third phase is primarily to address changes in disclosure requirements from the Basel III reforms finalized in December 2017, as well as other disclosure requirements related to asset encumbrance, capital distribution constraints, and the scope of disclosure requirements across resolution groups.
In June 2019, the BCBS finalized its revisions to the Pillar 3 disclosure requirements for the revised leverage ratio standards effective in Q1 2022. The announced changes are primarily for the inclusion of average values of securities financing transactions within the revised disclosure requirements.
OSFI’s disclosure guidelines for the implementation of the second and third phases of the Committee disclosure project are awaited.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
Regulatory Developments Relating to Liquidity
The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is aimed at reducing structural funding risk by requiring banks to fund their activities with sufficiently stable sources of funding. The NSFR becomes a minimum standard in OSFI’s liquidity framework in January 2020 with public disclosure required by the first quarter of 2021.
Reforms to Interest Rate Benchmarks
LIBOR is the most widely referenced interest benchmark rate across the globe for derivatives, bonds, loans and other floating rate instruments; however, there is aregulator-led push to transition the market from LIBOR to alternative risk-free, or nearly risk-free, rates that are based on actual overnight transactions. The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority announced in 2017 that it will no longer persuade or compel panel banks to make the submissions required to calculate LIBOR. As a result, UK and US regulators have warned the industry they will need to be prepared for LIBOR to be discontinued at the end of 2021. Derivatives, floating rate notes and other financial contracts whose terms extend beyond 2021, and that refer to LIBOR as the reference rate, will be impacted. The Bank is evaluating its exposure to LIBOR, as well as the impact of the transition on systems and processes. In addition, the Bank is closely monitoring guidance issued by accounting standard setters with respect to the accounting implications of the transition.
Use of the Advance Measurement Approach for Operational Risk Capital
In July 2019, OSFI revised its capital requirements for operational risk in consideration of the final Basel III revisions published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2017. Effective Q1 2021, institutions will be required to use the revised Basel III Standardized Approach for operational risk.
In the interim, for fiscal year 2020, institutions currently approved for the Basel II Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA) for operational risk capital are to report using the existing Basel II Standardized Approach (TSA). As the Bank’s AMA requirements are floored at TSA requirements, the impact from the adoption of the interim 2020 requirement is not material to the Bank.
Regulatory Developments Relating to Interest Rate Risk
In May 2019, OSFI updated its guidelines on Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (“IRRBB”), a risk control framework to identify, assess and manage interest rate risk. The Bank will apply the updated guidelines starting in January 2020, consistent with OSFI’s requirement.
Volcker Rule Amendments
The proposed Volcker rule amendments were approved on August 20, 2019, by the FDIC and the OCC (approval from the Federal Reserve, CFTC and SEC is expected shortly). As anticipated, the final amendments will relax regulatory burden on financial institutions, including foreign banking organizations such as the Bank. The amendments take effect on January 1, 2020, with compliance required by January 1, 2021.
Canadian Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Regulations
In July 2019, amendments to Canada’s Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act regulations were released following extensive industry consultation. Amendments will take effect in a phased approach, with the majority coming into effect by June 2021. These changes aim to improve the effectiveness of Canada’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regime, and to improve compliance with international standards. New regulations will require the Bank to implement changes to processes, technology and data, to satisfy Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) reporting requirements. The Bank is proactively working to implement the new regime with the aim to protect the Canadian financial system and our communities.
Accounting Policies and Controls
Accounting policies and estimates
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34,Interim Financial Reporting, using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018 as described in Note 3 of the Bank’s 2018 annual consolidated financial statements, except for changes to the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers as a result of adopting IFRS 15,Revenue from Contracts with Customers discussed in Note 3 and 4 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Future accounting developments
There are no significant updates to the future accounting developments disclosed in Note 5 of the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Annual Report, other than the following:
IFRS 16 – Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 Leases (“IFRS 16”), which will replace IAS 17, Leases (“IAS 17”), requiring a lessee to recognize an asset for the right to use the leased item and a liability for the present value of its future lease payments. IFRS 16 will result in all operating leases being recorded on the Bank’s balance sheet as aright-of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability. The Bank will also recognize amortization expense on the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability in the statement of income. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17.
IFRS 16 is effective for the Bank on November 1, 2019. The Bank plans to adopt IFRS 16 by adjusting the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the date of adoption with no restatement of comparative periods.
The most significant impact to the Bank will be related to property leases that are currently classified as operating leases being recorded on the balance sheet. The Bank has substantially completed the assessment of its lease portfolio and is modifying its processes, controls and lease accounting systems. The Bank continues to assess the decisions required in the key areas of judgment such as lease term and use of appropriate discount rates. The quantitative impact upon adoption will be finalized by the end of this fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts
The Bank is required to adopt IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”) on November 1, 2021. The standard will impact the Bank’s Canadian and International insurance businesses. The standard impacts the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts.
The IASB issued an exposure draft on June 26, 2019 proposing some amendments to IFRS 17, including a proposal to defer the effective date, by one year, to annual periods on or after January 1, 2022. The Bank is assessing the proposed amendments and will continue to monitor developments related to the standard.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended July 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting.
Related party transactions
There were no changes to the Bank’s procedures and policies for related party transactions from those outlined in the Bank’s 2018 Annual Report. All transactions with related parties continued to be at market terms and conditions.
Downside risks to the global economy are materializing. It appears likely that the trade conflict between the United States and China will extend well into 2020. This would see higher tariffs imposed on Chinese exports to the U.S. and a range of additional retaliatory measures imposed on both sides of the Pacific. The conflict also risks degenerating into a currency war. The elevation in trade tensions is generating significant concern in the broader global economy, with a number of central banks now cutting rates in response to increased uncertainty and weaker growth prospects.
While Canadian growth remains solid in light of strong population growth, very accommodative monetary policy, strengthening activity in the housing market, and still-strong business and consumer confidence, Canada cannot remain immune to higher uncertainty and lower global growth. Commodity prices are well below levels seen earlier this year, imparting a negative impulse to this important block of the Canadian economy. Inflation remains at the Bank of Canada’s target and, with wages now rising at the strongest pace since 2009, inflationary pressures may be on the rise. Despite this, mounting risks to the outlook may prompt the Bank of Canada to join other central banks and cut policy rates by 50 basis points over the next two quarters as it insures against these risks.
U.S. economic activity is decelerating following a year of generally strong growth. This reflects lower fiscal stimulus as the impact of the early-2018 fiscal stimulus package wanes, but also the expected impact of increased uncertainty associated with the trade situation. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut its policy rates by another 50 basis points, for a total easing of 75 basis points, as U.S. growth is expected to slow to 2.5% this year, from 2.9% in 2018, and then to 1.6% in 2020.
The trade tensions between China and the U.S. are being felt in the Pacific Alliance countries (PAC), as the price of important regional commodities has fallen sharply this year. Adding to these issues are challenges in executing key reforms, and the outlook for the region has deteriorated, even though growth prospects for PAC countries in general remain much more solid than those in advanced economies. The impact of these developments is felt most strongly in Chile and Peru, where growth is expected to slow to around 3% from the 4% seen in 2018, and Mexico, where growth is expected to fall below 1% this year. In Colombia, growth is still expected to exceed that observed in 2018.

CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. | Reporting entity |
The Bank of Nova Scotia (the Bank) is a chartered bank under the Bank Act (Canada) (the Bank Act). The Bank is a Schedule I Bank under the Bank Act and is regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). The Bank is a global financial services provider offering a diverse range of products and services, including personal, commercial, corporate and investment banking. The head office of the Bank is located at 1709 Hollis Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and its executive offices are at Scotia Plaza, 44 King Street West, Toronto, Canada. The common shares of the Bank are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.
2. | Basis of preparation |
Statement of compliance
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Bank have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and accounting requirements of OSFI in accordance with Section 308 of the Bank Act. Section 308 states that except as otherwise specified by OSFI, the financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with IFRS.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended July 31, 2019 have been approved by the Board of Directors for issue on August 27, 2019.
Certain comparative amounts have been restated to conform with the basis of presentation in the current period.
Basis of measurement
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items that are measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position:
• | Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss |
• | Financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss |
• | Derivative financial instruments |
• | Equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income |
• | Debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income |
Functional and presentation currency
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Bank’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise stated.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with IFRS, requires management to make estimates, apply judgments and make assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, and income and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates made by management are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Key areas where management has made difficult, complex or subjective judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain, include those relating to the allowance for credit losses, the fair value of financial instruments (including derivatives), corporate income taxes, employee benefits, the fair value of all identifiable assets and liabilities as a result of business combinations, impairment ofnon-financial assets and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities. While management makes its best estimates and assumptions, actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
3. | Significant accounting policies |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018.
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018, as described in Note 3 of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Annual Report, except for changes to the accounting for revenue from contracts with customers as a result of adopting IFRS 15,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(IFRS 15). The significant accounting policies below have been updated for those items scoped in line with IFRS 15.
Card revenues include interchange fees, annual fees and other card related fees. Interchange fees are recognized in connection with the customer’s purchase of goods and services and are calculated as a percentage of the transaction amount as established by the payment network. Interchange fees are recognized on the transaction date. The Bank presents interchange fees net of network association costs incurred and reward costs for associated cards where the customer has the option to redeem points for statement credits or the Bank is acting as an agent. Annual fees are recognized in income over 12 months. Other card fees are transaction-based and are recognized on the transaction date.
Banking services fees consist of fees earned on personal, business and government deposit activities. Personal deposit-related fees consist of account maintenance and various transaction-based services. Business and government deposit-related fees consist of commercial deposit and treasury management services and other cash management services. These fees are recognized on the transaction date or over time as services are provided to the customer.
Scotiabank Third Quarter Report 2019 49
Table of Contents
CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Mutual funds fees include management and administration fees which are earned in our wealth management business. These fees are calculated as a percentage of the fund’s net asset value and recognized as the service is provided. From time to time, the Bank may also recognize performance fees from some funds. These fees are only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.
Brokerage fees relate to fees earned for providing full-service and discount brokerage services to clients. These fees are contractually agreed and can be asset-based or linked to individual transactions. Such fees are recognized as the service is provided to clients or on the trade date.
Investment management and trust fees include administration, trust services and other investment services provided to clients. These fees are contractually agreed and can be linked to portfolio values or individual transactions. Such fees are recognized as the service is provided to clients to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur.
Underwriting and other advisory fees relate to fees earned for services provided to clients in relation to placement of debt and equities. Such fees also include services to clients for mergers, acquisitions, financial restructurings and other corporate finance activities. These fees are recognized when the service has been performed and/or contractual milestones are completed. Performance and completion fees are variable consideration and generally contingent on the successful completion of a transaction.
Other fees and commissions include commissions earned on the sale of third party insurance products to the Bank’s customers. Such fees and commissions are recognized when the performance obligation is completed.
4. | Transition to IFRS 15 |
On November 1, 2018, the Bank adopted IFRS 15,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which specifies how and when revenue is recognized, but does not impact income recognition related to financial instruments in scope of IFRS 9. The new standard replaces the previous standard IAS 18Revenue and provides a single, principles-based five-step model to be applied to all contracts with customers and to determine whether the performance obligation is to provide the service itself (i.e., act as a principal) or to arrange another party to provide the service (i.e., act as an agent).
The Bank adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach and accordingly, comparative periods have not been restated. The Bank recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease opening retained earnings on November 1, 2018 of $58 million (net of tax). This adjustment relates to certain costs that are no longer eligible for deferral under the new standard and the remeasurement of certain liabilities at fulfilment cost. For the nine months ended July 31, 2019, the impact of IFRS 15 was a decrease innon-interest income andnon-interest expenses of approximately $155 million (six months ended April 30, 2019 – $105 million), representing certain loyalty rewards previously recorded innon-interest expenses and now being recorded as a reduction tonon-interest income.
5. | Future accounting developments |
There are no significant updates to the future accounting developments disclosed in Note 5 of the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Annual Report, other than the following:
IFRS 16 –Leases
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16Leases (“IFRS 16”), which will replace IAS 17Leases (IAS 17), requiring a lessee to recognize an asset for the right to use the leased item and a liability for the present value of its future lease payments. IFRS 16 will result in all operating leases being recorded on the Bank’s balance sheet as aright-of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability. The Bank will also recognize amortization expense on the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability in the statement of income. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17.
IFRS 16 is effective for the Bank on November 1, 2019. The Bank plans to adopt IFRS 16 by adjusting the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position on the date of adoption with no restatement of comparative periods.
IFRS 17 –Insurance Contracts
The Bank is required to adopt IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (“IFRS 17”) on November 1, 2021. The standard will impact the Bank’s Canadian and International insurance businesses. The standard impacts the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts.
The IASB issued an exposure draft on June 26, 2019 proposing some amendments to IFRS 17, including a proposal to defer the effective date, by one year, to annual periods on or after January 1, 2022. The Bank is assessing the proposed amendments and will continue to monitor developments related to the standard.

(1) | Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the three months ended July 31, 2019 was $13 (April 30, 2019 – $12; October 31, 2018 – $12). |
(2) | Additional interest income of approximately $98 would have been recorded if the above loans had not been classified as impaired (April 30, 2019 – $100; October 31, 2018 – $93). |
(c) | Allowance for credit losses |
Key inputs and assumptions
The Bank’s allowance calculations are outputs of complex models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs. Some of the key drivers include the following:
• | Changes in risk ratings of the borrower or instrument reflecting changes in their credit quality; |
• | Changes in the volumes of transactions; |
• | Changes in the forward-looking macroeconomic environment reflected in the variables used in the models such as GDP growth, unemployment rates, commodity prices, and house price indices, which are most closely related with credit losses in the relevant portfolio; |
• | Changes in macroeconomic scenarios and the probability weights assigned to each scenario; and |
• | Borrower migration between the three stages which can result from changes to any of the above inputs and assumptions. |

Securitization of residential mortgage loans
The Bank securitizes fully insured residential mortgage loans, Bank originated and others, through the creation of mortgage backed securities (MBS) under the National Housing Act (NHA) MBS program, sponsored by Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC). MBS created under the program are sold to Canada Housing Trust (the Trust), a government sponsored entity under the Canada Mortgage Bond (CMB) program, and/or to third-party investors. The Trust issues securities to third-party investors.
The sale of mortgages under the above program does not meet the derecognition requirements, where the Bank retains thepre-payment and interest rate risks associated with the mortgages, which represents substantially all the risk and rewards associated with the transferred assets.
The transferred mortgages continue to be recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as residential mortgage loans. Cash proceeds from the transfer are treated as secured borrowings and included in Deposits – Business and government on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
The following table provides the carrying amount of transferred assets that do not qualify for derecognition and the associated liabilities:

16. | Operating segments |
Scotiabank is a diversified financial services institution that provides a wide range of financial products and services to retail, commercial and corporate customers around the world. The Bank’s businesses are grouped into three business lines: Canadian Banking, International Banking and Global Banking and Markets. The results of these business segments are based upon the internal financial reporting systems of the Bank. The accounting policies used in these segments are generally consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 3 of the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Annual Report. Notable accounting measurement differences are:
• | tax normalization adjustments related to thegross-up of income from associated corporations. This adjustment normalizes the effective tax rate in the divisions to better present the contribution of the associated companies to the divisional results. |
• | the grossing up oftax-exempt net interest income andnon-interest income to an equivalentbefore-tax basis for those affected segments. This change in measurement enables comparison of net interest income andnon-interest income arising from taxable andtax-exempt sources. |
Scotiabank’s results, and average assets and liabilities, allocated by these operating segments, are as follows:

20. | Financial instruments |
(a) Risk management
The Bank’s principal business activities result in a balance sheet that consists primarily of financial instruments. In addition, the Bank uses derivative financial instruments for both trading and hedging purposes. The principal financial risks that arise from transacting financial instruments include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Bank’s framework to monitor, evaluate and manage these risks is consistent with that in place as at October 31, 2018.
(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss resulting from the failure of a borrower or counterparty to honour its financial or contractual obligations to the Bank.
Credit risk exposures disclosed below are presented based on the Basel framework utilized by the Bank. The Bank uses the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based approach (AIRB) for all material Canadian, U.S. and European portfolios, and for a significant portion of the international corporate and commercial portfolios. The remaining portfolios, including other international portfolios, are treated under the standardized approach. Under the AIRB approach, the Bank uses internal risk parameter estimates, based on historical experience.
Under the standardized approach, credit risk is estimated using the risk weights as prescribed by the Basel framework, either based on credit assessments by external rating agencies or based on the counterparty type fornon-retail exposures and product type for retail exposures.

Credit quality ofnon-retail exposures
The Bank’snon-retail portfolio is well diversified by industry. A significant portion of the authorized corporate and commercial lending portfolio was internally assessed at a grade that would generally equate to an investment grade rating by external rating agencies. There has not been a significant change in concentrations of credit risk since October 31, 2018.
Credit quality of retail exposures
The Bank’s retail portfolios consist of a number of relatively small loans to a large number of borrowers. The portfolios are distributed across Canada and a wide range of countries. As such, the portfolios inherently have a high degree of diversification. In addition, as of July 31, 2019, 40% (April 30, 2019 – 42%; October 31, 2018 – 43%) of the Canadian residential mortgage portfolio is insured. The averageloan-to-value ratio of the uninsured portion of the Canadian residential mortgage portfolio is 55% (April 30, 2019 – 55%; October 31, 2018 – 54%).
Retail standardized portfolio
The retail standardized portfolio of $94 billion as at July 31, 2019 (April 30, 2019 – $94 billion; October 31, 2018 – $87 billion), was comprised of residential mortgages, personal loans, credit cards and lines of credit to individuals, mainly in Latin America and the Caribbean. Of the total retail standardized exposures, $48 billion (April 30, 2019 – $49 billion; October 31, 2018 – $45 billion) was represented by mortgages and loans secured by residential real estate, mostly with aloan-to-value ratio of below 80%.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank is unable to meet its financial obligations in a timely manner at reasonable prices. The Bank’s liquidity risk is subject to extensive risk management controls and is managed within the framework of policies and limits approved by the Board. The Board receives reports on risk exposures and performance against approved limits. The Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) provides senior management oversight of liquidity risk.
The key elements of the Bank’s liquidity risk management framework include:
• | liquidity risk measurement and management limits, including limits on maximum net cash outflow by currency over specified short-term horizons; |
• | prudent diversification of its wholesale funding activities by using a number of different funding programs to access the global financial markets and manage its maturity profile, as appropriate; |
• | large holdings of liquid assets to support its operations, which can generally be sold or pledged to meet the Bank’s obligations; |
• | liquidity stress testing, including Bank-specific, global-systemic, and combination systemic/specific scenarios; and |
• | liquidity contingency planning. |
The Bank’s foreign operations have liquidity management frameworks that are similar to the Bank’s framework. Local deposits are managed from a liquidity risk perspective based on the local management frameworks and regulatory requirements.
(iii) Market risk
Market risk arises from changes in market prices and rates (including interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices), the correlations among them, and their levels of volatility.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of loss due to the following: changes in the level, slope and curvature of the yield curve; the volatility of interest rates and changes in customers’ preferences (e.g. mortgage prepayment rates).

CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Non-trading foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss due to changes in spot and forward rates.
As at July 31, 2019, a one per cent increase (decrease) in the Canadian dollar against all currencies in which the Bank operates decreases (increases) the Bank’sbefore-tax annual earnings by approximately $64 million (April 30, 2019 – $69 million; July 31, 2018 – $62 million) in the absence of hedging activity, primarily from exposure to U.S. dollars. The Bank hedges a portion of this foreign currency risk.
A similar change in the Canadian dollar as at July 31, 2019, would decrease (increase) the unrealized foreign currency translation gains in the accumulated other comprehensive income section of shareholders’ equity by approximately $382 million (April 30, 2019 – $386 million; July 31, 2018 – $371 million), net of hedging.
Non-trading equity risk
Equity risk is the risk of loss due to adverse movements in equity prices. The Bank is exposed to equity risk through its investment equity portfolios. The fair value of investment equity securities is shown in Note 7.

(iv) Operational risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss, whether direct or indirect, to which the Bank is exposed due to inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human error, or external events. Operational risk includes legal and regulatory risk, business process and change risk, fiduciary or disclosure breaches, cyber risks, technology failure, financial crime and environmental risk. It exists in some form in every Bank business and function.
Operational risk can not only result in financial loss, but also regulatory sanctions and damage to the Bank’s reputation. The Bank has developed policies, processes and assessment methodologies to ensure that operational risk is appropriately identified and managed with effective controls.
(b) Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss
In accordance with its risk management strategy, the Bank has elected to designate certain investments and senior note liabilities at fair value through profit or loss to reduce an accounting mismatch between fair value changes in these instruments and fair value changes in related derivatives, and where a hybrid financial liability contains one or more embedded derivatives that are not closely related to the host contract. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities arising from the Bank’s own credit risk are recognized in other comprehensive income, without subsequent reclassification to net income.
The cumulative fair value adjustment due to own credit risk is determined at a point in time by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows over the term of these liabilities discounted at the Bank’s effective funding rate, and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted under a benchmark rate.
The following table presents the fair value of assets and liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and their changes in fair value.

(c) Financial instruments – fair value
Fair value of financial instruments
The calculation of fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and therefore may not be reflective of future fair values. The Bank has controls and processes in place to ensure that the valuation of financial instruments is appropriately determined.
Refer to Note 7 of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Annual Report for the valuation techniques used to fair value its significant financial assets and liabilities.

(d) Fair value hierarchy
The best evidence of fair value for a financial instrument is the quoted price in an active market. Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments represent a Level 1 valuation. Where possible, valuations are based on quoted prices or observable inputs obtained from active markets.
Quoted prices are not always available forover-the-counter transactions, as well as transactions in inactive or illiquid markets. In these instances, internal models that maximize the use of observable inputs are used to estimate fair value. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all the factors that market participants would take into account in pricing a transaction. When all significant inputs to models are observable, the valuation is classified as Level 2. Financial instruments traded in a less active market are valued using indicative market prices, present value of cash flows or other valuation techniques. Fair value estimates do not consider forced or liquidation sales.
Where financial instruments trade in inactive markets or when using models where observable parameters do not exist, greater management judgment is required for valuation purposes. Valuations that require the significant use of unobservable inputs are considered as Level 3.

Significant transfers
Significant transfers can occur between the fair value hierarchy levels when additional or new information regarding valuation inputs and their refinement and observability become available. The Bank recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
There were no significant transfers into and out of Level 3 during the three months ended July 31, 2019, April 30, 2019 and October 31, 2018.
Level 3 sensitivity
The Bank applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of Level 3 instruments.
Refer to Note 7 of the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018 for a description of the significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 instruments and the potential effect that a change in each unobservable input may have on the fair value measurement. There have been no significant changes to the Level 3 sensitivities during the quarter.
21. | Corporate income taxes |
In November 2016, the Bank received a federal reassessment of $179 million for tax and interest as a result of the Canada Revenue Agency denying the tax deductibility of certain Canadian dividends received during the 2011 taxation year. In August 2017, the Bank received a reassessment of $185 million for tax and interest for the 2012 taxation year. The circumstances of the dividends subject to the reassessments are similar to those prospectively addressed by recently enacted rules which had been introduced in the 2015 Canadian federal budget. In June 2018, the Bank received a reassessment for $211 million for tax and interest in respect of the same circumstances for the 2013 taxation year. The Bank is confident that its tax filing position was appropriate and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and intends to vigorously defend its position.
22. | Acquisitions and divestitures |

Divestitures previously announced not yet impacting the Bank’s financial results
a) | Insurance and banking operations in the Caribbean |
On November 27, 2018, the Bank announced its subsidiaries in Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago will sell their insurance operations. The Bank will partner with the buyer to provide an expanded suite of insurance products and services to customers in Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.
On November 27, 2018, the Bank also announced it has entered into an agreement with another party to sell its banking operations in ninenon-core markets in the Caribbean (Anguilla, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Vincent & the Grenadines).
These divestitures are subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
b) | Thanachart Bank, Thailand |
On August 8, 2019, the Bank announced that it has signed agreements with ING Groep N.V., Thanachart Bank Public Company Limited (“TBank”) and TMB Bank Public Company Limited (“TMB”) that largely follow the memorandum of understanding announced on February 26, 2019. The carrying value of the Bank’s 49% interest in TBank was $3.45 billion as at July 31, 2019.
Upon closing and pursuant to these agreements, the Bank will sell its interest in TBank in exchange for cash and shares in TMB (and ultimately the new bank resulting from the subsequent merger of TMB and TBank (“the Merged Bank”)). Based on current values, this would result in the Bank owning approximately 6% of the Merged Bank.
The announced transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and othernon-customary closing conditions which are particular to the many parties involved. The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2020.
Upon closing, the Bank will record a gain of approximately $300 million after tax, subject to closing adjustments including fair values and foreign exchange rates prevailing at the date of closing, and the Bank’s common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio will increase by approximately 25 basis points.
The Bank will continue to retain 49% interest in two TBank subsidiaries that are not part of these signed agreements.
