TORONTO, Dec. 3, 2024 /CNW/ - Scotiabank reported net income of $7,892 million for the fiscal year 2024, compared with net income of $7,450 million in 2023. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $5.87, compared to $5.72 in the previous year. Return on equity was 10.2%, compared to 10.3% in the previous year.
Reported net income for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2024 was $1,689 million compared to $1,354 million in the same period last year. Diluted EPS were $1.22, compared to $0.99 in the same period a year ago. Return on equity was 8.3% compared to 7.0% a year ago.
This quarter's net income included adjusting items of $430 million after-tax. These included impairment charges of $379 million related to the Bank's investment in associate with Bank of X'ian Co Ltd. in China, as well as certain software intangible assets, and severance provisions of $38 million related to the Bank's continued efforts to focus on operational excellence.
Adjusted net income(2) was $8,627 million for the fiscal year 2024, up from $8,363 million in the previous year and adjusted diluted EPS were $6.47 versus $6.48 in the previous year. Adjusted return on equity was 11.3% compared to 11.6% in the previous year.
Adjusted net income(2) for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2024 was $2,119 million and adjusted diluted EPS were $1.57, compared to $1.23 last year. Adjusted return on equity was 10.6% compared to 8.7% a year ago.
"2024 was a foundational year for Scotiabank as we launched and made early progress against our new strategy. The Bank delivered solid revenue growth and positive full year operating leverage, while redeploying capital to our priority markets across the North American corridor," said Scott Thomson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scotiabank.
Canadian Banking delivered adjusted earnings(2) of $4,277 million in 2024, up 7% from the prior year. Revenue was supported by double-digit growth in net interest income from volume growth and margin expansion. Expenses were well-managed, resulting in positive operating leverage for the year.
International Banking generated adjusted earnings(2) of $2,862 million in 2024, up 11% year-over-year. Solid revenue growth, driven by margin expansion, continued expense discipline and the favourable impact of foreign exchange, were partly offset by higher provision for credit losses. Strong positive operating leverage of 5% reflected the significant impact of productivity initiatives in the region.
Global Wealth Management generated adjusted earnings(2) of $1,612 million in 2024, up 10% year-over-year. The business delivered strong revenue growth driven by fee revenue from assets under management of $373 billion, up 18% year-over-year, and higher net interest income across our Canadian and International Wealth businesses.
Global Banking and Markets reported earnings of $1,688 million in 2024. Higher fee revenue and lower provision for credit losses were more than offset by lower net interest income driven by lower loan balances and higher expenses to support business growth.
The Bank reported a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio(4) of 13.1%, up from 13.0% last year and continued to maintain strong liquidity metrics.
"While I am encouraged by our strategic progress to date, there is significant work ahead as we focus on client primacy initiatives to drive enhanced profitability across our businesses. I am confident that we are on track to achieve the targets we laid out at our Investor Day for 2025," continued Mr. Thomson. "I would like to thank our global team of Scotiabankers for their efforts and contributions as we continue to execute on our enterprise strategy in the coming year."

Adoption of IFRS 17
On November 1, 2023, the Bank adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, which provides a comprehensive principle-based framework for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts and replaces IFRS 4, the previous accounting standard for insurance contracts. As required by the standard, the Bank adopted IFRS 17 on a retrospective basis, restating the results from the transition date of November 1, 2022. Accordingly, results for fiscal 2023 have been restated to reflect the IFRS 17 basis of accounting for insurance contracts. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements in the Bank's 2024 Annual Report for details.
Group Financial Performance
Net income
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Net income was $1,689 million compared to $1,354 million, an increase of 25%. The increase was driven mainly by higher net interest income and lower provision for credit losses and non-interest expenses, partly offset by higher provision for income taxes. Adjusted net income was $2,119 million compared to $1,643 million, an increase of 29%, due mainly to higher revenues and lower provision for credit losses, partly offset by higher provision for income taxes.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Net income was $1,689 million compared to $1,912 million, a decrease of 12%. The decrease was due mainly to higher non-interest expenses and provision for income taxes, partly offset by higher revenues. Adjusted net income was $2,119 million compared to $2,191 million, a decrease of 3%, due mainly to higher provision for income taxes.
Total revenue
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Revenues were $8,526 million compared to $8,272 million, an increase of 3%. Adjusted revenues were $8,526 million compared to $7,905 million, an increase of 8%.
Net interest income was $4,923 million, an increase of $257 million or 6%, due primarily to loan growth inclusive of the conversion of bankers' acceptances to loans resulting from the cessation of CDOR in June 2024 ("BA conversion"). This was partly offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. The net interest margin was 2.15%, in line with the prior year.
Non-interest income was $3,603 million, a decrease of $3 million. Adjusted non-interest income was $3,603 million, an increase of $364 million or 11%. The increase was due mainly to higher trading revenues, wealth management revenues, other fees and commissions, and insurance revenue, partly offset by lower bankers' acceptance fees related to the BA conversion, as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Revenues were $8,526 million compared to $8,364 million, an increase of 2%. Adjusted revenues were $8,526 million compared to $8,507 million.
Net interest income increased $61 million or 1%, due mainly to loan growth inclusive of the impact of BA conversion, partly offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation. The net interest margin increased one basis point driven mainly by a higher contribution from asset/liability management activities related to lower funding costs, and lower losses from hedges, partly offset by lower margins in Canadian Banking, and lower levels of higher yielding loans in International Banking.
Non-interest income increased $101 million or 3%. Adjusted non-interest income declined $42 million or 1%. The decrease was due mainly to lower bankers' acceptance fees related to the BA conversion, lower underwriting and advisory fees, and the negative impact of foreign currency translation, partly offset by higher other fees and commissions, higher trading revenues, and higher wealth management revenues.
Provision for credit losses
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
The provision for credit losses was $1,030 million, compared to $1,256 million, a decrease of $226 million. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased 11 basis points to 54 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $13 million, compared to a provision taken of $454 million. The provision reversal this period was driven by retail credit migration to impaired, mainly in Mexico and Peru, as well as the impact of interest rate cuts, mainly on the mortgage and auto loan portfolios in Canada, and the improved macroeconomic outlook. This was partly offset by credit migration in the commercial and corporate portfolios and retail unsecured lines. The higher provision last year was driven primarily by the unfavourable macroeconomic outlook and uncertainty, resulting in migration in retail and certain sectors in commercial and corporate portfolios.
The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,043 million, compared to $802 million, an increase of $241 million or 30% due primarily to higher formations in Canadian Banking retail and commercial portfolios. There were also higher formations in International Banking retail portfolios, mostly in Mexico, Chile and Colombia. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 55 basis points, an increase of 13 basis points.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
The provision for credit losses decreased $22 million from $1,052 million, primarily in International Banking. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased one basis point to 54 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $13 million, compared to provision taken of $82 million, a decrease of $95 million. The decrease was mostly in Canadian Banking reflecting the favorable impact of interest rate cuts and the improved macroeconomic outlook relating to the commercial portfolio. This was partly offset by credit migration in the commercial and corporate portfolios and retail unsecured lines.
The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,043 million, compared to $970 million, an increase of $73 million or 8%, due primarily to higher formations in Canadian Banking retail and commercial portfolios. This was partly offset by lower retail provisions in International Banking, mainly in Colombia, Chile and Peru due to lower formations. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 55 basis points, an increase of four basis points.
Non-interest expenses
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Non-interest expenses were $5,296 million, a decrease of 4%. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $4,784 million, an increase of $63 million or 1%, driven by higher performance-based compensation, technology-related costs, personnel costs, advertising costs, and business and capital taxes. This was partly offset by the favourable impact of foreign currency translation, lower communications expenses and share-based compensation.
The productivity ratio was 62.1% compared to 66.8%. The adjusted productivity ratio was 56.1% compared to 59.7%.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Non-interest expenses increased by $347 million or 7%. Adjusted non-interest expenses increased marginally by $21 million. The increase was due to higher technology-related costs, performance-based compensation, advertising, and professional fees. Partly offsetting were lower other employee benefits and the favourable impact of foreign currency translation.
The productivity ratio was 62.1% compared to 59.2%. The adjusted productivity ratio was 56.1% compared to 56.0%.
Provision for income taxes
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
The effective tax rate was 23.2% compared to 9.1% due primarily to lower tax-exempt income, lower income in lower tax jurisdictions, and the benefit of divestitures in the prior year. The lower tax-exempt income reflects the impact of the denial of the dividend received deduction measure enacted during the year as part of Federal Budget Implementation Act Bill C-59. In line with the provisions of this measure, effective January 1, 2024, the Bank no longer claims the dividend received deduction on Canadian shares that are mark-to-market property. On an adjusted basis, the effective rate was 21.8% compared to 14.8% due primarily to lower tax-exempt income and lower income in lower tax jurisdictions.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
The effective tax rate was 23.2% compared to 19.1% due primarily to the impairment charge on Bank of Xi'an Co. Ltd, lower income in lower tax jurisdictions and adjustments related to prior year taxes. This was partly offset by higher non-deductible expenses in the prior quarter. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 21.8% compared to 18.6% due primarily to lower income in lower tax jurisdictions and adjustments related to prior year taxes.
Capital Ratios
The Bank continues to maintain strong, high quality capital levels which position it well for future business growth and opportunities. The CET1 ratio as at October 31, 2024 was 13.1%, an increase of approximately 10 basis points from the prior year. The ratio benefited from internal capital generation, share issuances under the Bank's Shareholder Dividend and Share Purchase Plan, and revaluation gains on FVOCI securities, partly offset by the adoption impacts from the revised Basel III FRTB market and CVA capital requirements, RWA growth and the Bank's initial investment in KeyCorp.
The Bank's Tier 1 capital ratio was 15.0% as at October 31, 2024, an increase of approximately 20 basis points from the prior year, due primarily to the above noted impacts to the CET1 ratio and a U.S. $750 million issuance of Limited Recourse Capital Notes partly offset by a redemption of $300 million of preferred shares.
The Bank's Total capital ratio was 16.7% as at October 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately 50 basis points from 2023, due primarily to redemptions of $3.25 billion of subordinated debentures, partly offset by the issuance of $1 billion of subordinated debentures and the above noted impacts to the Tier 1 capital ratio.
The TLAC ratio was 29.7% as at October 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately 90 basis points from the prior year, primarily from higher RWA.
The Leverage ratio was 4.4% as at October 31, 2024, an increase of 20 basis points from the prior year, due primarily to growth in Tier 1 capital.
The TLAC Leverage ratio was 8.8%, an increase of approximately 20 basis points from 2023, due primarily to higher available TLAC.
The Bank's capital, leverage and TLAC ratios continue to be in excess of OSFI's minimum capital ratio requirements for 2024. In 2025, the Bank will continue to maintain strong capital ratios, continuing to optimize capital deployment in line with its strategic plans while absorbing the impact of the Bank's increased investment in KeyCorp.

Net income
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Net income attributable to equity holders was $1,061 million, compared to $793 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders was $1,062 million, an increase of $269 million or 34%. The increase was due primarily to lower provision for credit losses and higher revenue, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Net income attributable to equity holders declined $49 million or 4%. The decline was due primarily to higher non-interest expenses and provision for credit losses, partly offset by higher revenues.
Total revenue
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Revenues were $3,487 million, an increase of $175 million or 5%.
Net interest income of $2,803 million increased $240 million or 9% due primarily to asset and deposit growth, and the benefit from the
BA conversion. The net interest margin of 2.47% was unchanged from the prior year, as higher loan margins were largely offset by lower deposit margins, reflecting the impact of Bank of Canada's recent rate cuts.
Non-interest income of $684 million declined $65 million or 9% due to lower banking fees, including the impact of the BA conversion, and the sale of the Bank's equity interest in Canadian Tire Financial Services last year, partly offset by higher mutual fund distribution fees and insurance revenue.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Revenues increased $7 million.
Net interest income increased $51 million or 2% due primarily to loan and deposit growth and the benefit from the BA conversion, partly offset by margin compression. The net interest margin decreased five basis points to 2.47% driven by changes in business mix and lower deposit margins, reflecting the impact of Bank of Canada's recent rate cuts.
Non-interest income decreased $44 million or 6%. The decrease was due primarily to lower banking fees including the impact of the BA conversion, and elevated private equity gains in the prior quarter, partly offset by higher foreign exchange fees and mutual fund distribution fees.
Provision for credit losses
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
The provision for credit losses was $450 million, compared to $700 million. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased 23 basis points to 40 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $11 million, compared to a provision of $414 million. The provision reversal this period was driven by the impact of interest rate cuts, mainly related to mortgages and auto loans. This was partly offset by credit migration in the unsecured lines and commercial portfolio. The higher provision last year was related to retail and commercial portfolios and was due mainly to the unfavourable macroeconomic outlook.
Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $461 million, compared to $286 million, due primarily to higher retail formations across most products, as well as higher commercial provisions, mainly related to one account. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 41 basis points, an increase of 15 basis points.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
The provision for credit losses was $450 million, compared to $435 million. The provision for credit losses ratio increased one basis point to 40 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $11 million, compared to a provision of $97 million. The provision reversal this period was driven by the impact of interest rate cuts, mainly related to mortgages and auto loans and the favourable macroeconomic outlook relating to the commercial portfolio. This was partly offset by credit migration in the unsecured lines and commercial portfolio.
Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $461 million, compared to $338 million, driven primarily by higher retail formations across most products, as well as higher commercial provisions, mainly related to one account. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 41 basis points, an increase of 11 basis points.
Non-interest expenses
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Non-interest expenses were $1,576 million, an increase of $63 million or 4%, due primarily to higher technology, professional, advertising, and business development costs to support the Bank's strategy and drive business growth.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Non-interest expenses increased by $50 million or 3%, due primarily to higher advertising and business development costs, professional fees, and personnel costs to support the Bank's strategy and drive business growth.
Provision for income taxes
The effective tax rate was 27.4% for the quarter, compared to 27.8% in the prior year and 26.9% in the prior quarter.
Average assets
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Average assets increased $10 billion to $457 billion. The growth included $5 billion or 6% in business loans and acceptances, $4 billion or 1% in residential mortgages, $1 billion or 12% in credit card loans, and $1 billion or 1% in personal loans.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Average assets increased $6 billion or 1%. The growth included $4 billion or 1% in residential mortgages, and $1 billion or 1% in business loans and acceptances.
Average liabilities
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Average liabilities decreased $1 billion to $385 billion. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction of $29 billion in bankers' acceptances liabilities, partly offset by growth of $15 billion or 11% in non-personal deposits, primarily in demand accounts, and $11 billion or 5% in personal deposits, primarily in term products.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Average liabilities decreased $4 billion or 1%. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction of $12 billion in bankers' acceptances liabilities, partly offset by growth of $4 billion or 3% in non-personal deposits, primarily in demand accounts, and $4 billion or 2% in personal deposits, in both term and demand accounts.

Net income
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Net income attributable to equity holders increased $80 million to $628 million. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders increased $78 million to $634 million. The increase was driven by higher non-interest income, lower non-interest expenses and higher net interest income, partly offset by higher provision for credit losses, the negative impact of foreign currency translation and higher provision for income taxes.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Net income attributable to equity holders decreased $41 million or 6%. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders decreased $40 million or 6%. Lower net interest income, non-interest income, and the negative impact of foreign currency translation partly offset by lower non-interest expenses, provision for credit losses and provision for income taxes.
Financial Performance on a Constant Dollar Basis
International Banking business segment results are analyzed on a constant dollar basis which is a non-GAAP measure (refer to Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 21). Under the constant dollar basis, prior period amounts are recalculated using current period average foreign currency rates. The following table presents the reported, adjusted and constant dollar results for International Banking for prior periods. The Bank believes that constant dollar is useful for readers to understand business performance without the impact of foreign currency translation and is used by management to assess the performance of the business segment. The tables below are computed on a basis that is different than the "Impact of foreign currency translation" table on page 4. Ratios are on a reported basis.
The discussion below on the results of operations is on a constant dollar basis.

The Bank adopted IFRS 17 effective November 1, 2023. As required under the new accounting standard, prior period amounts have been restated. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements in the Bank's 2024 Annual Report for details. |
Net income
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Net income attributable to equity holders was $628 million, up $97 million or 18% and adjusted net income attributable to equity holders was $634 million, up $96 million or 18%. The increase was driven by higher net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by higher provision for credit losses, non-interest expenses and provision for income taxes.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Net income attributable to equity holders decreased $25 million or 4%. Adjusted net income attributable to equity holders decreased $25 million or 4%. The decrease was due primarily to lower non-interest income and net interest income, partly offset by lower provision for credit losses.
Total revenue
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Revenues were $2,887 million compared to $2,689 million, an increase of $198 million or 7%.
Net interest income was $2,151 million, an increase of $97 million or 5%, driven by margin expansion. Net interest margin increased by 25 basis points to 4.42%, driven by lower cost of funds and changes in business mix.
Non-interest income was $736 million, an increase of $101 million, driven by higher banking fees in Mexico and higher trading revenues in Chile.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Revenues decreased $30 million or 1%.
Net interest income decreased by $12 million or 1%, driven mainly by lower volumes in Brazil and Chile. Net interest margin was in line with the prior quarter, as lower funding costs were offset by changes in business mix.
Non-interest income decreased by $18 million or 2%, driven mainly by lower capital markets revenue in Brazil.
Provision for credit losses
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
The provision for credit losses was $556 million compared to $496 million, an increase of $60 million. The provision for credit losses ratio increased 18 basis points to 137 basis points.
Provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $20 million, compared to a provision of $7 million. The provision reversal this period was driven primarily by retail credit migration to impaired, mainly in Mexico and Peru. This was partly offset by higher commercial provisions due to the continued unfavourable macroeconomic outlook, as well as retail portfolio growth, primarily in Mexico.
Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $576 million, compared to $489 million, an increase of $87 million, driven by higher retail formations, primarily in Mexico, Chile and Colombia. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 142 basis points, an increase of 24 basis points.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
The provision for credit losses was $556 million, compared to $569 million, a decrease of $13 million. The provision for credit losses ratio was 137 basis points, a decrease of two basis points.
Provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $20 million, compared to a net reversal of $28 million. The provision reversal this period was driven primarily by retail credit migration to impaired, mainly in Mexico and Peru. This was partly offset by higher commercial provisions due to the continued unfavourable macroeconomic outlook, as well as retail portfolio growth primarily in Mexico.
Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $576 million, compared to $597 million, a decrease of $21 million due primarily to lower retail provisions driven by lower formations, mostly in Colombia and Chile, partly offset by higher retail provisions in Mexico due to credit migration. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans decreased four basis points to 142 basis points.
Non-interest expenses
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Non-interest expenses were $1,486 million, an increase of $17 million or 1%. Adjusted non-interest expenses were $1,477 million, an increase of $17 million or 1%, driven mainly by higher salaries and employee benefits and premises and depreciation. The business continues to see the benefits of efficiency initiatives.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Non-interest expenses were $1,486 million. Adjusted non-interest expenses decreased $1 million from $1,478 million, driven by lower salaries and employee benefits, and business expenses from restructuring and savings initiatives, partly offset by higher depreciation and amortization in Mexico.
Provision for income taxes
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
The effective tax rate was 20.6%, compared to 22.5%. On an adjusted basis, the effective tax rate was 20.6% compared to 22.6%, due primarily to higher inflationary adjustments in Mexico and Chile this period.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
The effective tax rate was 20.6%, compared to 20.1%, due primarily to changes in the earnings mix.
Average assets
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023

Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Average liabilities were $172 billion, down $2 billion or 1%. Total deposits decreased by $3 billion or 2%, primarily in Mexico and Colombia. The decrease included 3% in non-personal deposits.

(1) |
The Bank adopted IFRS 17 effective November 1, 2023. As required under the new accounting standard, prior period amounts have been restated. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements in the Bank's 2024 Annual Report for details. |
(2) |
Refer to Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 21 for the description of the adjustments. |
(3) |
Includes adjustment for net (gain)/loss on divestitures and wind-down of operations of $143 in Q3 2024 and $(367) in Q4 2023. |
(4) |
Includes adjustments for Impairment of non-financial assets of $440 in Q4 2024 ($346 in Q4 2023), Restructuring charge and severance provisions of $53 in Q4 2024 ($354 in Q4 2023), Legal provision of $176 in Q3 2024, Divestiture and wind-down of operations of $(7) in Q3 2024, and Consolidation of real estate and contract termination costs of $87 in Q4 2023. |
(5) |
Includes adjustment for the Canada Recovery Dividend in Q1 2023. |
The Other segment includes Group Treasury, smaller operating segments and corporate items which are not allocated to a business line. Group Treasury is primarily responsible for Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk management, which includes the Bank's wholesale funding activities.
Net interest income, non-interest income, and the provision for income taxes in each period include the elimination of tax-exempt income gross-up. This amount is included in the operating segments, which are reported on a taxable equivalent basis.
Net income from associated corporations and the provision for income taxes in each period include the tax normalization adjustments related to the gross-up of income from associated companies. This adjustment normalizes the effective tax rate in the divisions to better present the contribution of the associated companies to the divisional results.
Q4 2024 vs Q4 2023
Net loss attributable to equity holders was $870 million, compared to a net loss of $759 million in the prior year. The adjusted net loss attributable to equity holders was $453 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $487 million in the prior year. The lower loss of $34 million was due to higher revenues and lower non-interest expenses, partly offset by higher income taxes. The higher revenues were driven mainly by higher investment gains, lower unrealized losses in associated corporations, and a lower taxable equivalent basis (TEB) gross-up as the Bank no longer claims the dividend received deduction on Canadian shares that are mark-to-market property. The TEB gross-up is offset in income taxes.
Q4 2024 vs Q3 2024
Net loss attributable to equity holders increased $141 million from the prior quarter. The adjusted net loss attributable to equity holders decreased $12 million from the prior quarter. The lower loss was due to higher revenues and lower non-interest expenses, which were largely offset by higher income taxes from adjustments related to prior year taxes and a lower pre-tax loss. The higher revenues were due to higher net interest income from lower funding costs and lower losses from hedges, which benefitted from Bank of Canada rate decreases, partly offset by lower non-interest revenue.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Bank uses a number of financial measures and ratios to assess its performance, as well as the performance of its operating segments. Some of these financial measures and ratios are presented on a non-GAAP basis and are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are not defined by GAAP and do not have standardized meanings and therefore might not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios disclosed by other issuers. The Bank believes that non-GAAP measures and ratios are useful as they provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses performance. These non-GAAP measures and ratios are used throughout this report and are defined below.
Adjusted results and adjusted diluted earnings per share
The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP reported financial results to non-GAAP adjusted financial results. Management considers both reported and adjusted results and measures useful in assessing underlying ongoing business performance. Adjusted results and measures remove certain specified items from revenue, non-interest expenses, income taxes and non-controlling interest. Presenting results on both a reported basis and adjusted basis allows readers to assess the impact of certain items on results for the periods presented, and to better assess results and trends excluding those items that may not be reflective of ongoing business performance.

The Bank's Q4 2024 and fiscal 2023 reported results were adjusted for the following items. These amounts were recorded in the Other operating segment, unless otherwise noted.
a) Divestitures and wind-down of operations
In Q3 2024, the Bank entered into an agreement to sell CrediScotia Financiera, a wholly-owned consumer finance subsidiary in Peru, to Banco Santander. The Bank recognized an impairment loss of $143 million in non-interest income and a recovery of expenses of $7 million in non-interest expenses (collectively $90 million after-tax), majority of which relates to goodwill. In Q4 2023, the Bank sold its 20% equity interest in Canadian Tire's Financial Services business (CTFS) to Canadian Tire Corporation. The sale resulted in a net gain of $367 million ($319 million after-tax). For further details, please refer to Note 37 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
b) Impairment of non-financial assets
In Q4 2024, the Bank recorded impairment charges of $343 million ($309 million after-tax) related to its investment in associate, Bank of Xi'an Co. Ltd. in China, driven primarily by the continued weakened economy in China and whose market value has remained below the Bank's carrying value for a prolonged period (Q4 2023 - $185 million pre-tax and $159 million after-tax). In Q4 2024, the Bank recorded an impairment of software intangible assets of $97 million ($70 million after-tax). In Q4 2023, the Bank recorded an impairment of software and other intangible assets of $161 million ($114 million after-tax). For further details, please refer to Notes 18 and 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
c) Restructuring change and severance provisions
In Q4 2024, the Bank recorded severance provisions of $53 million ($38 million after-tax) related to the Bank's continued efforts to streamline its organizational structure and support execution of the Bank's strategy. In Q4 2023, the Bank recorded a restructuring charge and severance provisions of $354 million ($258 million after-tax) related to workforce reductions and changes as a result of the Bank's end-to-end digitization, automation, changes in customers' day-to-day banking preferences, as well as the ongoing efforts to streamline operational processes and optimize distribution channels. For further details, please refer to Note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
d) Legal provision
In Q3 2024, the Bank recognized a $176 million expense for legal actions in Peru relating to certain value-added tax assessed amounts and associated interest. The legal actions arose from certain client transactions that occurred prior to the Bank's acquisition of its Peruvian subsidiary. For further details, please refer to Note 24 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
e) Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets
These costs relate to the amortization of intangible assets recognized upon the acquisition of businesses, excluding software, and are recorded in the Canadian Banking, International Banking and Global Wealth Management operating segments.
f) Consolidation of real estate and contract termination costs
In Q4 2023, the Bank recorded costs of $87 million ($63 million after-tax) related to the consolidation and exit of certain real estate premises, as well as service contract termination costs, as part of the Bank's optimization strategy.
g) Canada recovery dividend
In Q1 2023, the Bank recognized an additional income tax expense of $579 million reflecting the present value of the amount payable for the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD). The CRD is a Canadian federal tax measure which requires the Bank to pay a one-time tax of 15% on taxable income in excess of $1 billion, based on the average taxable income for the 2020 and 2021 taxation years. For further details, please refer to Note 28 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Reconciliation of International Banking's reported, adjusted and constant dollar results
International Banking business segment results are analyzed on a constant dollar basis which is a non-GAAP measure. Under the constant dollar basis, prior period amounts are recalculated using current period average foreign currency rates. The following table presents the reconciliation between reported, adjusted and constant dollar results for International Banking for prior periods. The Bank believes that constant dollar is useful for readers to understand business performance without the impact of foreign currency translation and is used by management to assess the performance of the business segment.

Earning and non-earning assets, core earning assets, core net interest income and net interest margin
Net interest margin
Net interest margin is a non-GAAP ratio that is used to measure the return generated by the Bank's core earning assets, net of the cost of funding. Net interest margin is calculated as core net interest income divided by average core earning assets.
Components of net interest margin are defined below:
Earning assets
Earning assets are defined as income generating assets which include deposits with financial institutions, trading assets, investment securities, investments in associates, securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements, loans net of allowances, and customers' liability under acceptances. This is a non-GAAP measure.
Non-earning assets
Non-earning assets are defined as cash, precious metals, derivative financial instruments, property and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and other assets. This is a non-GAAP measure.
Core earning assets
Core earning assets are defined as interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, investment securities and loans net of allowances. This is a non-GAAP measure. The Bank believes that this measure is useful for readers as it represents the main interest-generating assets and eliminates the impact of trading businesses.
Core net interest income
Core net interest income is defined as net interest income earned from core earning assets. This is a non-GAAP measure.

Return on tangible common equity
Return on tangible common equity is a profitability measure that is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shareholders, adjusted for the amortization of intangibles (excluding software), by average tangible common equity. Tangible common equity is defined as common shareholders' equity adjusted for goodwill and intangible assets (excluding software), net of deferred taxes. This is a non-GAAP ratio.
Adjusted return on tangible common equity represents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. This is a non-GAAP ratio.

Adjusted productivity ratio
Adjusted productivity ratio represents adjusted non-interest expenses as a percentage of adjusted total revenue. This is a non-GAAP ratio. Management uses the productivity ratio as a measure of the Bank's efficiency. A lower ratio indicates improved productivity.
Adjusted operating leverage
This financial metric measures the rate of growth in adjusted total revenue less the rate of growth in adjusted non-interest expenses. This is a non-GAAP ratio.
Management uses operating leverage as a way to assess the degree to which the Bank can increase operating income by increasing revenue.
Trading-related revenue (Taxable equivalent basis)
Trading-related revenue consists of net interest income and non-interest income. Included are unrealized gains and losses on security positions held, realized gains and losses from the purchase and sale of securities, fees and commissions from trading securities borrowing and lending activities, and gains and losses on trading derivatives. Underwriting and other advisory fees, which are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Income, are excluded. Trading-related revenue includes certain net interest income and non-interest income items on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB). This methodology grosses up tax-exempt income earned on certain securities to an equivalent before tax basis. This is a non-GAAP measure.
Management believes that this basis for measurement of trading-related revenue provides a uniform comparability of net interest income and non-interest income arising from both taxable and non-taxable sources and facilitates a consistent basis of measurement. While other banks also use TEB, their methodology may not be comparable to the Bank's methodology.
Adjusted effective tax rate
The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before taxes. This is a non-GAAP ratio.
Basis of preparation
These unaudited consolidated financial statements were 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, except for certain required disclosures. Therefore, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Bank's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2024 which will be available today at www.scotiabank.com.
Forward-looking statements
From time to time, our public communications 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 (SEC), 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 2024 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," "aim," "achieve," "foresee," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "outlook," "seek," "schedule," "plan," "goal," "strive," "target," "project," "commit," "objective," and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "may," "should," "would," "might," "can" and "could" and positive and negative variations thereof.
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 and globally; 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, including relating to the care and control of information, and other risks arising from the Bank's use of third parties; 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; geopolitical risk; changes to our credit ratings; the possible effects on our business and the global economy of war, conflicts or terrorist actions and unforeseen consequences arising from such actions; technological changes, including the use of data and artificial intelligence in our business, and technology resiliency; 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, and the extent to which products or services previously sold by the Bank require the Bank to incur liabilities or absorb losses not contemplated at their origination; 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; anti-money laundering; disruptions or attacks (including cyberattacks) on the Bank's information technology, internet connectivity, network accessibility, or other voice or data communications systems or services, which may result in data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, denial of service and potential incidents of identity theft; increased competition in the geographic and in business areas in which we operate, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; environmental, social and governance risks, including climate change, our ability to implement various sustainability-related initiatives (both internally and with our clients and other stakeholders) under expected time frames, and our ability to scale our sustainable-finance products and services; the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events, including disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or water supply; inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; Canadian housing and household indebtedness; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including their impact on the global economy, financial market conditions and the Bank's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects; 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 2024 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 2024 Annual Report under the headings "Outlook", as updated by quarterly reports. The "Outlook" and "2025 Priorities" 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. Except as required by law, the Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf.
