MONTREAL, Dec. 5, 2018
The financial information reported in this document is based on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and on the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018 and is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), unless otherwise indicated. IFRS represent Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All amounts are presented in Canadian dollars.
MONTREAL, Dec. 5, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - For the fourth quarter of 2018, National Bank is reporting net income of $566 million, an 8% increase from $525 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Diluted earnings per share stood at $1.52 for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $1.39 in the same quarter of fiscal 2017. Diluted earnings per share excluding specified items (described on page 2) stood at $1.53 for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 compared to $1.40 in the same quarter of 2017, a 9% increase owing to net income growth in the main business segments.
For fiscal 2018, the Bank's net income totalled $2,232 million, a 10% increase from $2,024 million in fiscal 2017. Diluted earnings per share stood at $5.94 for the year ended October 31, 2018 compared to $5.38 in fiscal 2017. These increases were driven by net income growth across all the business segments. Diluted earnings per share excluding specified items stood at $5.99 for the year ended October 31, 2018, a 10% increase from $5.45 in fiscal 2017.
"Fiscal 2018 ended with record net income of over $2.2 billion driven by strong performance across all business lines and an improved efficiency ratio," said Louis Vachon, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Bank. "The Bank also reported a CET1 capital ratio of 11.7%, the highest in our history, providing us with flexibility to invest in our business and return capital to shareholders. The Bank repurchased 7.5 million common shares under its normal course issuer bid and twice raised its common share dividend, a 7% increase for 2018."

Financial Reporting Method
As stated in Note 1 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018, the Bank early adopted IFRS 9 on November 1, 2017. As permitted by IFRS 9, the Bank did not restate comparative consolidated financial statements. Note 3 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018 presents the impacts of IFRS 9 adoption on the Bank's Consolidated Balance Sheet as at November 1, 2017. Since interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the annual financial statement disclosures required under IFRS, they should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended October 31, 2018.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Bank uses a number of financial measures when assessing its results and measuring overall performance. Some of these financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, which are based on IFRS. Presenting non-GAAP financial measures helps readers to better understand how management analyzes results, shows the impacts of specified items on the results of the reported periods, and allows readers to assess results without the specified items if they consider such items not to be reflective of the underlying financial performance of the Bank's operations. Securities regulators require companies to caution readers that non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Financial Analysis
This press release should be read in conjunction with the 2018 Annual Report (which includes the audited annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A) available on the Bank's website at nbc.ca. Additional information about the Bank, including the Annual Information Form, can be obtained from the Bank's website at nbc.ca and SEDAR's website at sedar.com.
Consolidated Results
On November 1, 2017, the Bank changed the presentation of certain Consolidated Balance Sheet items; in particular, the Purchased receivables item is now reported in Loans. As a result of this change, for the quarter ended October 31, 2017, a $40 million amount reported in Non-interest income was reclassified to Net interest income ($204 million for the year ended October 31, 2017). The reclassification had no impact on Net income.
Total Revenues
For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Bank's total revenues amounted to $1,814 million, up $110 million or 6% from the same quarter of 2017. This year-over-year increase was driven by growth in the net interest income of the Personal and Commercial segment owing to higher loan and deposit volumes and an improved net interest margin, by growth in the net interest income of the Wealth Management segment owing in part to higher deposit volumes, by growth in commission revenues and corporate banking revenues recorded by the Financial Markets segment, and by growth in the net interest income of ABA Bank. Revenues from trust services and credit fee revenues also posted year-over-year growth. Total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis and excluding specified items amounted to $1,876 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 7% from $1,760 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, total revenues amounted to $7,166 million compared to $6,609 million in fiscal 2017, an 8% year-over-year increase driven essentially by the same factors as those provided for the quarter, by higher net interest income from Credigy, and by increases in trading revenues, mutual fund revenues, and card revenues. These revenue increases were tempered by lower revenues from securities brokerage commissions and lower gains on securities. For the year ended October 31, 2018, total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis and excluding specified items amounted to $7,420 million, an 8% increase from $6,864 million in fiscal 2017.
Provisions for Credit Losses
For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Bank recorded $73 million in provisions for credit losses compared to $70 million in the same quarter of 2017. The higher provisions stem mainly from higher credit loss provisions recorded for Personal Banking loans and for USSF&I segment loans that were essentially attributable to the ABA Bank subsidiary. This increase was partly offset by lower credit loss provisions recorded for Commercial Banking loans.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Bank recorded $327 million in provisions for credit losses, $83 million more than in fiscal 2017. The higher provisions stem mainly from higher credit loss provisions recorded for Personal and Commercial Banking loans and for USSF&I segment loans that were essentially attributable to the Credigy subsidiary. During the year ended October 31, 2017, the provisions for credit losses had included a $40 million reversal of the sectoral provision on non-impaired loans in the oil and gas producer and service company loan portfolio, and a $40 million increase in the collective allowance for credit risk on non-impaired loans had been recorded to reflect growth in the Bank's overall credit portfolio.
As at October 31, 2018, gross impaired loans stood at $630 million compared to $599 million as at November 1, 2017. Also as at October 31, 2018, net impaired loans stood at $404 million compared to $360 million as at November 1, 2017, a $44 million increase arising mainly from commercial loan portfolios. Following IFRS 9 adoption on November 1, 2017, all loans classified in Stage 3 of the expected credit loss model constitute impaired loans and do not include purchased or originated credit-impaired loans.
Non-Interest Expenses
For the fourth quarter of 2018, non-interest expenses stood at $1,036 million, up 6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in non-interest expenses was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, higher technology investment expenses made as part of the Bank's transformation plan, and by higher advertising expenses. Non-interest expenses excluding specified items stood at $1,034 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $971 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, non-interest expenses stood at $4,063 million, up 5% year over year. The reasons for this increase are the same as those provided above for the fourth quarter. Furthermore, the expansion of ABA Bank's banking network led to an overall increase in non-interest expenses. The increase was tempered somewhat by lower professional fees related to the servicing fees of Credigy's business activities. Non-interest expenses excluding specified items stood at $4,052 million for the year ended October 31, 2018, up 6% from $3,838 million in fiscal 2017.
Income Taxes
For the fourth quarter of 2018, income taxes stood at $139 million compared to $133 million in the same quarter of 2017. The 2018 fourth-quarter effective income tax rate was 20%, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2017.

| Given the adoption of IFRS 9 on November 1, 2017, the Bank accounts for all provisions for credit losses within the business segments. For the quarter and year ended October 31, 2017, only provisions for credit losses on impaired loans had been recognized in the business segments, whereas provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans had been recognized in the Other heading. During the year ended October 31, 2017, the Bank recorded a $40 million reversal ($29 million net of income taxes) to the sectoral provision on non-impaired loans taken for the oil and gas producer and service company loan portfolio. Given the materiality of this sectoral provision, recorded in accordance with GAAP, net income excluding the impact of the sectoral provision has been presented to provide a better assessment of the segment's results.

In the Personal and Commercial segment, net income totalled $257 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, up 10% from $234 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The segment's fourth-quarter total revenues increased by $45 million year over year owing to growth in net interest income, which rose $35 million, and to a $10 million increase in non-interest income. The increase in net interest income came from higher personal and commercial loan and deposit volumes and a wider net interest margin (2.33% in fourth quarter 2018 versus 2.30% in fourth quarter 2017) driven mainly by deposit margins.
Personal Banking's fourth-quarter total revenues rose $21 million year over year. Its net interest income was up $17 million owing to growth in loan and deposit volumes and to widening deposit margins, and its non-interest income was up $4 million owing mainly to growth in insurance revenues. Commercial Banking's fourth-quarter total revenues rose $24 million year over year, essentially due to higher net interest income that was driven by growth in loan and deposit volumes and by improved deposit margins. Also contributing to Commercial Banking's revenue growth were increases in revenues from credit fees and revenues from bankers' acceptances.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, the segment's non-interest expenses were up $14 million year over year. This increase was mainly due to increases in compensation and employee benefits and operations support charges. At 51.9%, the fourth-quarter efficiency ratio improved by 1.2 percentage points when compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Bank recorded $50 million in provisions for credit losses, unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2017, as higher provisions on personal loans were offset by lower provisions on commercial loans.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Personal and Commercial segment's net income totalled $948 million, up from $903 million in fiscal 2017. The fiscal 2018 net income was up 8% when compared to the net income excluding the impact of the $29 million, net of income taxes, sectoral provision recorded for the same period of 2017. The segment's total revenues grew 6% year over year. The growth in Personal Banking's total revenues was due to the same reasons as those provided for the quarter as well as to higher card revenues and internal commission revenues generated by the distribution of Wealth Management products. In addition, in the first quarter of 2017, a gain had been realized following a change to the distribution model for property and casualty insurance. Growth in Commercial Banking's total revenues was driven by higher loan and deposit volumes, improved deposit margins, and increases in revenues from credit fees, bankers' acceptances, and foreign exchange activities. For the year ended October 31, 2018, non-interest expenses were up $48 million year over year. The reasons for this increase were essentially the same as those provided for the quarter as well as higher technology investment expenses. The segment's contribution increased $134 million or 10%. At 53.1% for the year ended October 31, 2018, the efficiency ratio improved by 1.6 percentage points versus fiscal 2017. The segment's fiscal 2018 provisions for credit losses were up $73 million year over year due to higher credit loss provisions on personal loans, commercial loans, and credit card receivables. Also contributing to this increase was the $40 million reversal of the sectoral provision recorded in second quarter 2017.

In the Wealth Management segment, net income totalled $124 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, a 14% increase from $109 million in the same quarter of 2017. At $127 million, fourth-quarter net income excluding specified items (with the specified items including the acquisition-related items) rose 10% from $115 million in the same quarter of 2017. The segment's fourth-quarter total revenues amounted to $445 million, up 8% from $412 million in the same quarter of 2017. This increase was driven mainly by growth in net interest income, owing to higher deposit volumes, and by growth in fee-based revenues given net inflows across all solutions. Furthermore, transaction-based and other revenues rose due to a higher number of transactions in the fourth quarter of 2018.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, non-interest expenses stood at $276 million, a 5% year-over-year increase that was mainly due to higher variable compensation, as business volume growth generated higher revenues, and to an increase in operations support charges. The efficiency ratio excluding specified items was 61.3% in the fourth quarter of 2018, an improvement of 1.0 percentage points from the same quarter of 2017. For the fourth quarter of 2018, the Bank recorded $2 million in provisions for credit losses compared to $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the Wealth Management segment's net income totalled $489 million, up 20% from $408 million in fiscal 2017. For the year ended October 31, 2018, net income excluding specified items totalled $506 million, up 17% or $75 million from fiscal 2017. The segment's total revenues for the year ended October 31, 2018 were $1,759 million compared to $1,604 million the previous year. This increase was due to higher net interest income owing to improved margins and by growth in fee-based revenues given net inflows across various solutions and sound stock market performance in fiscal 2018. The fiscal 2018 non-interest expenses stood at $1,092 million compared to $1,046 million in fiscal 2017, for an increase resulting from higher variable compensation and external management fees (due to business volume growth that generated higher revenues) and from higher operations support charges related to the segment's initiatives. As for the efficiency ratio, it improved to 61.1% for the year ended October 31, 2018 compared to 63.7% for fiscal 2017. Provisions for credit losses remained stable compared to fiscal 2017.
Assets under administration and under management increased by $7.7 billion or 2% from a year ago, mainly due to net inflows into various solutions, tempered by a drop in stock prices at the end of fiscal 2018.

In the Financial Markets segment, net income totalled $192 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $183 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and fourth-quarter total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis amounted to $436 million compared to $413 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Revenues from global markets grew 2%. Specifically, while revenues from equity securities and from commodity and foreign exchange activities grew 5% and 40%, respectively, these increases were partly offset by a decrease in fixed-income revenues. Year over year, fourth-quarter financial market fee revenues were up 46%, particularly due to merger and acquisition activities, whereas gains on investments and other revenue decreased. Revenues from corporate banking activities were up 12%, particularly due to growth in lending volume.
The segment's fourth-quarter non-interest expenses were $174 million, up $11 million year over year, mainly due to the higher variable compensation associated with revenue growth as well as to higher operations support charges. The efficiency ratio on a taxable equivalent basis was 39.9% compared to 39.5% in the fourth quarter of 2017. The segment's provisions for credit losses were nil in the fourth quarters of both 2018 and 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the segment's net income totalled $764 million, up $66 million or 9% from the same period of 2017. The 2018 total revenues on a taxable equivalent basis amounted to $1,743 million, up $125 million from $1,618 million in fiscal 2017. Global market revenues were up 7%, as revenues from equity securities and commodities and foreign exchange revenues rose 14% and 22%, respectively, whereas revenues from fixed-income securities were down 10%. Revenues from financial market fees were up 15%, particularly due to sound performance in merger and acquisition activities. Fiscal 2018 corporate banking revenues were up 15% compared to fiscal 2017. Lastly, higher gains were recorded on investments and other revenues in the year ended October 31, 2017.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, non-interest expenses were up 5% compared to fiscal 2017, due to the same reasons as those provided for the quarter. At 40.0% for the year ended October 31, 2018, the efficiency ratio on a taxable equivalent basis improved by 1.1 percentage points versus fiscal 2017. The segment recorded $4 million in provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans for the year ended October 31, 2018, whereas no provisions had been recorded in 2017.

In the U.S. Specialty Finance and International segment, net income totalled $55 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, stable when compared to the same quarter of 2017. The segment's fourth-quarter total revenues amounted to $158 million compared to $154 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Higher revenues at the ABA Bank subsidiary, driven by loan and deposit growth, were partly offset by lower revenues at the Credigy subsidiary compared to the same quarter of 2017, particularly given the reimbursement of certain assets.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, non-interest expenses stood at $65 million, a $9 million year-over-year increase attributable to ABA Bank's growing banking network. As for the non-interest expenses of the Credigy subsidiary, they were unchanged. The segment recorded $22 million in provisions for credit losses, $3 million more than in the same quarter of 2017, essentially due to the credit loss provisions recorded by the ABA Bank subsidiary.
The segment's effective income tax rate was down in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter of 2017, as the U.S. tax reform resulted in a lower income tax rate for Credigy.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the segment generated net income of $222 million compared to $184 million in fiscal 2017. Its annual total revenues amounted to $639 million versus $541 million in fiscal 2017, representing 18% growth that was driven partly by an increase in Credigy's revenues, particularly due to growth in loan volumes, and partly by ABA Bank's revenues, which increased steadily due to growth in loan and deposit volumes.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, non-interest expenses stood at $251 million, a $26 million year-over-year increase attributable to ABA Bank's growing banking network. As for Credigy's non-interest expenses, they were down 4% year over year, notably due to lower servicing fees. For the year ended October 31, 2018, the segment's provisions for credit losses were $94 million and consisted mainly of credit loss provisions recorded for the Credigy subsidiary.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, the effective tax rate was down when compared to fiscal 2017, as the U.S. tax reform resulted in a lower tax rate for the Credigy subsidiary.

|
For the Other heading of segment results, there was a net loss of $62 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to a net loss of $56 million in the same quarter of 2017. This change was mainly due to an increase in non-interest expenses, particularly due to technology investments made as part of the Bank's transformation plan and for business development purposes.
For the year ended October 31, 2018, net loss stood at $191 million compared to a net loss of $169 million in fiscal 2017. This change was due to an increase in non-interest expenses, for the same reasons as those provided above for the fourth quarter, and from a higher contribution from Treasury activities during 2017. These items more than offset the impact of the $40 million increase ($29 million net of income taxes) to the collective allowance for credit risk on non-impaired loans recorded in the second quarter of 2017 to reflect growth in the Bank's overall credit portfolio. The net loss excluding specified items was $191 million for the year ended October 31, 2018 compared to a $167 million net loss in fiscal 2017.
Consolidated Balance Sheet
The presentation of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as at October 31, 2018 reflects the adoption of IFRS 9 on November 1, 2017. For additional information on IFRS 9 adoption, refer to Notes 1 and 3 of the Bank's audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018. Comparative information has not been restated.

Assets
As at October 31, 2018, the Bank had total assets of $262.5 billion, a 7% or $16.7 billion increase from $245.8 billion as at October 31, 2017. At $12.8 billion as at October 31, 2018, cash and deposits with financial institutions rose $4.0 billion since the same date last year, mainly due to growth in deposits with the U.S. Federal Reserve. Since October 31, 2017, securities rose $4.5 billion, essentially due to an $8.3 billion or 17% increase in securities at fair value through profit or loss, as securities issued or guaranteed by the Canadian government were up $5.9 billion and securities issued or guaranteed by Canadian provincial and municipal governments were up $2.9 billion. Securities other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss declined $3.8 billion. Securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowed decreased by $2.6 billion, mainly related to Treasury operations.
At $146.7 billion as at October 31, 2018, loans and acceptances rose $9.6 billion or 7% since October 31, 2017. Residential mortgages (including home equity lines of credit) were up 5% due to sustained demand for mortgage credit and business growth at ABA Bank, and personal loans rose 2%. Loans and acceptances to business and government rose 12% or $5.7 billion since October 31, 2017 due to business growth at Commercial Banking and Financial Markets. The following table provides a breakdown of the main loan and acceptance portfolios.

| The Bank changed the classification of certain amounts reported in the Deposits item of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As at October 31, 2017, a $1,544 million amount from Deposits – Personal was reclassified to Deposits – Business and government.
|
As at October 31, 2018, personal deposits stood at $55.7 billion, rising $3.5 billion since October 31, 2017, essentially due to the Bank's initiatives to increase this type of deposit as well as to growth at the ABA Bank subsidiary. As at October 31, 2018, total personal savings amounted to $211.5 billion, up from $209.0 billion as at October 31, 2017. Overall, off-balance-sheet personal savings stood at $155.8 billion as at October 31, 2018 compared to $156.8 billion one year earlier, a decrease that was essentially due to a decline in the stock markets at the end of 2018.
Business and government deposits totalled $110.3 billion, rising $11.2 billion since October 31, 2017. This increase came mainly from growth in banking and government business activities and in Treasury funding activities. Other liabilities stood at $76.5 billion, rising 1% since October 31, 2017 due to a $2.4 billion increase in obligations related to securities sold short, partly offset by a $1.8 billion decrease in obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities loaned and a $0.6 billion decrease in derivative financial instruments. Since October 31, 2017, subordinated debt increased due to a $750 million issuance of medium-term notes on February 1, 2018.
Equity
As at October 31, 2018, equity attributable to the Bank's shareholders was $14.0 billion, up $1.2 billion since October 31, 2017. This increase came from net income net of dividends, from remeasurements of pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans, and from the issuances of Series 40 and Series 42 preferred shares for $600 million, tempered by a $200 million redemption of Series 28 preferred shares for cancellation. In addition, the issuances of common shares under the stock option plan were more than offset by the repurchases of common shares for cancellation and the impact of shares purchased or sold for trading. As for non-controlling interests, they were down $429 million, essentially due to the $400 million redemption of trust units issued by NBC Asset Trust.
As at November 30, 2018, there were 335,782,996 common shares outstanding and 13,055,458 stock options outstanding. For additional information on share capital, see Note 19 to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2018.
Income Taxes
In September 2018, the Bank was reassessed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for additional income tax and interest of approximately $130 million (including estimated provincial tax and interest) in respect of certain Canadian dividends received by the Bank during 2013.
In May 2017, the Bank had been reassessed for additional income tax and interest of approximately $77 million (including provincial tax and interest) in respect of certain Canadian dividends received by the Bank during 2012.
The transactions to which these reassessments relate are similar to those prospectively addressed by the synthetic equity arrangement rules introduced in the 2015 Canadian federal budget.
Also in July 2018, the CRA confirmed in writing that, except for the above-mentioned reassessment for 2012, it would not pursue the proposed reassessment in respect of 2011 and 2012 that had been communicated to the Bank in March 2017.
The CRA may issue reassessments to the Bank for taxation years subsequent to 2013 in regard to activities similar to those that were the subject of the 2013 and 2012 reassessments. The Bank remains confident that its tax position was appropriate and intends to vigorously defend its position. As a result, no amount has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements as at October 31, 2018.
Capital Management
Regulatory Capital Ratios
As at October 31, 2018, the Bank's CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios were, respectively, 11.7%, 15.5% and 16.8%, i.e., above the regulatory requirements, compared to ratios of, respectively, 11.2%, 14.9% and 15.1% as at October 31, 2017. The increase in the CET1 capital ratio stems essentially from net income net of dividends, common share issuances under the Stock Option Plan, and remeasurements of pension plans and other post-employment benefit plans, factors that were tempered by the growth in risk-weighted assets, by the common share repurchases made during the year ended October 31, 2018 and by the impact of IFRS 9 adoption on November 1, 2017. Both the Tier 1 and the Total capital ratios increased, essentially due to the same items. The increase in the Tier 1 capital ratio was also due to the $600 million issuances of Series 40 and 42 preferred shares, partly offset by the $400 million redemption of NBC Asset Trust units, while the $750 million issuance of medium-term notes on February 1, 2018 contributed to the higher Total capital ratio. As at October 31, 2018, the leverage ratio was 4.0%, unchanged from October 31, 2017.

| For the quarter and year ended October 31, 2017, certain amounts have been reclassified, particularly in the USSF&I segment, where an amount of $40 million reported in Non-interest income was reclassified to Net interest income for the quarter ended October 31, 2017 ($204 million for the year ended October 31, 2017).
| (2)
| The Net interest income, Non-interest income and Income taxes (recovery) items of the business segments are presented on a taxable equivalent basis. Taxable equivalent basis is a calculation method that consists of grossing up certain tax-exempt income by the amount of income tax that would have been otherwise payable. For the business segments as a whole, Net interest income was grossed up by $35 million ($40 million in 2017), Non-interest income was grossed up by $25 million ($14 million in 2017), and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes (recovery). The effect of these adjustments is reversed under the Other heading.
| (3)
| Given the adoption of IFRS 9 on November 1, 2017, the Bank accounts for all provisions for credit losses within the business segments. For the quarter and the year ended October 31, 2017, only provisions for credit losses on impaired loans had been recognized in the business segments, whereas provisions for credit losses on non-impaired loans had been recognized in the Other heading. During the year ended October 31, 2017, the Bank had reversed, by $40 million, the sectoral provision on non-impaired loans recorded for the oil and gas producer and service company loan portfolio presented in the Personal and Commercial segment, and the $40 million in provisions for credit losses in the Other heading had reflected an increase in the collective allowance for credit risk on non-impaired loans.
| (4)
| For the year ended October 31, 2018, Net interest income was grossed up by $144 million ($209 million in 2017), Non-interest income was grossed up by $101 million ($35 million in 2017), and an equivalent amount was recognized in Income taxes (recovery). The effect of the adjustments is reversed under the Other heading.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, the Bank makes written and oral forward-looking statements, such as those contained in the Major Economic Trends section of the 2018 Annual Report, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators, and in other communications, for the purpose of describing the economic environment in which the Bank will operate during fiscal 2019 and the objectives it hopes to achieve for that period. These forward-looking statements are made in accordance with current securities legislation in Canada and the United States. They include, among others, statements with respect to the economy—particularly the Canadian and U.S. economies—market changes, observations regarding the Bank's objectives and its strategies for achieving them, Bank-projected financial returns and certain risks faced by the Bank. These forward-looking statements are typically identified by future or conditional verbs or words such as "outlook," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "expect," "intend," "plan," and similar terms and expressions.
By their very nature, such forward-looking statements require assumptions to be made and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies in 2019 and how that will affect the Bank's business are among the main factors considered in setting the Bank's strategic priorities and objectives and in determining its financial targets, including provisions for credit losses. In determining its expectations for economic growth, both broadly and in the financial services sector in particular, the Bank primarily considers historical economic data provided by the Canadian and U.S. governments and their agencies.
There is a strong possibility that express or implied projections contained in these forward-looking statements will not materialize or will not be accurate. The Bank recommends that readers not place undue reliance on these statements, as a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Bank's control, could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ significantly from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include credit risk, market risk, liquidity and funding risk, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk, reputation risk, strategic risk and environmental risk, all of which are described in more detail in the Risk Management section beginning on page 52 of the 2018 Annual Report, general economic environment and financial market conditions in Canada, the United States and certain other countries in which the Bank conducts business, including regulatory changes affecting the Bank's business, capital and liquidity; changes in the accounting policies the Bank uses to report its financial condition, including uncertainties associated with assumptions and critical accounting estimates; tax laws in the countries in which the Bank operates, primarily Canada and the United States (including the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)); changes to capital and liquidity guidelines and to the manner in which they are to be presented and interpreted; changes to the credit ratings assigned to the Bank; and potential disruptions to the Bank's information technology systems, including evolving cyber attack risk.
The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. Additional information about these factors can be found in the Risk Management section of the 2018 Annual Report. Investors and others who rely on the Bank's forward-looking statements should carefully consider the above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. 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 it or on its behalf.
The forward-looking information contained in this document is presented for the purpose of interpreting the information contained herein and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
