Quarterly Report to Shareholders Scotiabank reports second quarter results TORONTO, May 25, 2022 – Scotiabank reported second quarter net income of $2,747 million compared to $2,456 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.16, compared to $1.88 in the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income (1) for the second quarter was $2,765 million and EPS was $2.18, up from $1.90 last year. Adjusted return on equity was 16.4% compared to 14.9% a year ago. “We are pleased with the very strong EPS growth of 15% and a return on equity of 16.4%. Continued loan growth of 13%, an improving net interest margin, strong customer balance sheets, combined with prudent expense management, positions the Bank well to grow its earnings" said Brian Porter, President and CEO of Scotiabank. Canadian Banking earnings grew 27% compared to the prior year. Results were underpinned by higher revenues, driven by robust mortgage and commercial loan growth, strong fee income, lower provision for credit losses, and the sixth consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage. International Banking earnings continued its strong recovery exceeding $600 million this quarter. This was driven by robust mortgage and commercial loan growth, expanding margin and continued improvement in fee income that resulted in revenue growing at 4%, while generating positive operating leverage and lower provision for credit losses. Global Wealth Management earnings grew 9% driven by higher brokerage revenues, mutual fund fees, and net interest income supported by strong loan and deposit growth. Global Banking and Markets delivered earnings of $488 million. Strong revenue and loan growth in the corporate and investment banking business, was partially offset by lower capital markets revenue reflecting market conditions. The Bank remains well capitalized with a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (2) of 11.6%. Strong internal capital generation positions the Bank to continue to grow in line with its strategic objectives, while returning capital to shareholders. The Bank announced a quarterly dividend increase of 3 cents per share. "I am proud of the many recognitions Scotiabank received this quarter, most notably, the award for Best Use of Technology for Customer Experience Overall in The Digital Banker’s 2022 Global Digital CX Banking Awards. This award reinforces the Bank’s momentum in innovating, digitizing and modernizing our organization to meet our customers’ evolving needs” said Brian Porter. “Scotiabank also continues to demonstrate leadership as a top employer, recently winning a third consecutive recognition as one of the Best Workplaces in Canada by the Great Place to Work Institute. And we are reinforcing our commitment to advancing the inclusion of women and creating a more equitable and diverse workplace, earning a top spot in The Globe and Mail’s 2022 Women Lead Here list, which recognizes best-in-class executive gender diversity amongst Canadian corporations.” (1) Refer to Non-GAAP Measures section on page 4.

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 2021 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, 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; 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 and

non-traditional

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Non-GAAP

Measures

The Bank uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance, as well as the performance of its operating segments. Some of these measures 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 that would ensure consistency and comparability among companies using these measures. The Bank believes that

non-GAAP

measures are useful as they provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses performance. These

non-GAAP

measures are used throughout this report and defined below.

Adjusted results and diluted earnings per share

The following tables present a reconciliation of GAAP reported financial results to

non-GAAP

adjusted financial results. The financial results have been adjusted for the following:

Adjustments impacting current and prior periods:

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets:

These costs relate to the amortization of intangibles recognized upon the acquisition of businesses, excluding software, and are recorded in the Canadian Banking, International Banking and Global Wealth Management operating segments.

Adjustments impacting prior periods only:

Restructuring and other provisions, recorded in Q4, 2021:

The Bank recorded a restructuring charge of $126 million pre-tax, and settlement and litigation provisions in the amount of $62 million pre-tax. These charges were recorded in the Other operating segment.

Acquisition and divestiture-related amounts:

Acquisition-related integration costs are costs that were incurred by the Bank and related to integrating previously acquired businesses. These costs were recorded in the International Banking and Global Wealth Management operating segments. The Bank ceased incurring these costs in fiscal year 2020.

ii.

Net (gain)/loss on divestitures recorded in the Other operating segment.

Valuation-related adjustments, recorded in Q1, 2020:

The Bank recognized certain valuation-related adjustments totalling $315 million pre-tax related to modifying its allowance for credit losses measurement methodology under IFRS 9 ($155 million), enhancement of its fair value methodology primarily relating to uncollateralized OTC derivatives ($116 million) and recognition of an impairment loss related to one software asset ($44 million).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Reconciliation of International Banking’s reported, adjusted and constant dollar results

International Banking business segment results are analyzed on a constant dollar basis. 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. The tables below are computed on a basis that is different than the table “Impact of foreign currency translation” in Overview of Performance on page 13.

Return on equity

Return on equity is a profitability measure that presents the net income attributable to common shareholders (annualized) as a percentage of average common shareholders’ equity.

The Bank attributes capital to its business lines on a basis that approximates 10.5% of Basel III common equity capital requirements which includes credit, market and operational risks and leverage inherent within each business segment.

Return on equity for the business segments is calculated as a ratio of net income attributable to common shareholders (annualized) of the business segment and the capital attributed.

Adjusted return on equity represents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders (annualized) as a percentage of adjusted average common shareholders’ equity.

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 (annualized), 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.

Adjusted return on tangible common equity represents adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of adjusted average tangible common equity.

Productivity ratio

Management uses the productivity ratio as a measure of the Bank’s efficiency. This ratio represents

non-interest

expenses as a percentage of total revenue. A lower ratio indicates improved productivity.

Adjusted productivity ratio represents adjusted

non-interest

expenses as a percentage of adjusted total revenue.

Operating leverage

This financial metric measures the rate of growth in total revenue less the rate of growth in

non-interest

expenses.

Adjusted operating leverage represents the rate of growth in adjusted total revenue less the rate of growth in adjusted

non-interest

expenses.

Provision for credit losses (PCL) as a % of average net loans and acceptances

The ratio represents PCL (annualized) expressed as a % of average net loans and acceptances.

Adjusted provision for credit losses as a % of average net loans and acceptances represents adjusted PCL (annualized) expressed as a % of average net loans and acceptances.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Taxable equivalent basis

The Bank analyzes 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 reported in either net interest income or

non-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 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.

Effective tax rate

The effective tax rate is the overall tax rate paid by the Bank on its earned income. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the Bank’s income tax expense by income before taxes.

Adjusted effective tax rate is calculated by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before taxes.

Effective tax rate (TEB) basis is calculated by dividing income tax expense, adjusted to a tax equivalent basis, by income before taxes, adjusted to a tax equivalent basis.

Adjusted return on equity was 16.4% compared to 14.9% a year ago. The increase in net income was due primarily to higher net interest income driven by loan portfolio growth, and lower provision for credit losses.

Adjusted net income was $2,765 million this quarter compared to $2,758 million last quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.18, compared to $2.15 last quarter, and adjusted return on equity was 16.4% compared to 15.9% last quarter.

Economic summary and outlook

The global economy is deeply affected by the Russian war on Ukraine. In addition to the terrible human cost of the aggression, the conflict and associated sanctions have led to sharp rises in many commodity prices along with supply disruptions in key commodities. These developments have led to sharp revisions to already-high inflation forecasts. In most countries, the rise in input prices is also dampening growth, as the cost of imported raw materials has risen rapidly. This has led to a reduction in global growth forecasts. Adding to these impacts, the COVID lockdowns in China are leading to a sharp reduction in growth there, with minimal impact on commodity prices so far.

While growth in many countries is being revised down owing to these developments, this is not the case for the key countries in our footprint given their commodity production. In Canada, for instance, growth has been revised upwards in 2022 as a result of the powerful momentum observed in early 2022 data along with the substantial increase in the value of Canadian exports.

Inflation control is the key challenge for policy makers across our footprint. In Canada and the United States, we anticipate that policy rates will rise to 3% by the end of this year as central banks fight inflation. Robust growth continues to be expected this year and next in both countries, and while we consider the risk of recession low at present, high inflation and rising interest rates increase the odds of a slowdown over the next couple of years.

Policy makers in the Pacific Alliance countries have increased policy rates rapidly over the last year in response to the same inflationary pressure observed in developed markets which has been amplified locally by exchange rate weakness. Additional interest rate increases are expected to dampen inflation. Growth is generally forecast to remain strong this year in most countries, owing to the lagged impact of COVID support policies and higher commodity prices. Political developments will continue to impact the region given the electoral calendar and constitutional reform process underway in some countries.

Net interest income

Q2 2022 vs Q2 2021

Net interest income was $4,473 million, up $297 million or 7%. Strong mortgage, commercial, and corporate loan growth were partly offset by margin compression and the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

Net interest margin was down three basis points to 2.23%, driven primarily by lower margins in International Banking and Canadian Banking, mainly related to changes in business mix. This was partly offset by the benefit of Central Bank rate increases, as well as a higher contribution from asset/liability management activities.

Q2 2022 vs Q1 2022

Net interest income was up $129 million or 3% driven primarily by loan growth and higher margins across all business lines, and the positive impact of foreign currency translation. These were partly offset by the impact of three fewer days in the quarter.

Net interest margin was up seven basis points to 2.23%, driven by higher contribution from asset/liability management activities, and higher margins across all business lines which benefited from Central Bank rate increases. These were partly offset by increased levels of high quality, lower-margin liquid assets.

Year-to-date

Q2 2022 vs

Year-to-date

Q2 2021

Net interest income was $8,817 million, an increase of $290 million or 3%. Strong mortgage, commercial and corporate loan growth were partly offset by margin compression and the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

Net interest margin was down six basis points to 2.20%, driven primarily by lower margins in International Banking and Canadian Banking, mainly related to changes in business mix, as well as a lower contribution from asset/liability management activities. These were partly offset by the benefit of Central Bank rate increases.

Non-interest

income

Q2 2022 vs Q2 2021

Non-interest

income was $3,469 million, down $91 million or 3%. The decrease was due mainly to lower investment gains, trading revenues, and underwriting and advisory fees, as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation. These were partly offset by higher banking and wealth management revenues, which increased 8% and 6%, respectively.

Q2 2022 vs Q1 2022

Non-interest

income was down $236 million or 6%, due primarily to lower trading revenues, wealth management revenues, and lower underwriting and advisory fees, as well as the impact of three fewer days in the quarter. These were partially offset by higher investment gains and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Provision for credit losses

Q2 2022 vs Q2 2021

The provision for credit losses was $219 million, compared to $496 million, a decrease of $277 million or 56%. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased 20 basis points to 13 basis points.

Provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $187 million, compared to a net reversal of $696 million. The provision reversals this period were driven primarily by improved retail portfolio credit quality, partially offset by portfolio growth. Higher provision reversals last year were due mainly to credit migration to impaired, primarily in International Banking.

Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $406 million, compared to $1,192 million, a decrease of $786 million or 66%, due primarily to lower formations across all portfolios. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans decreased 56 basis points to 24 basis points.

Q2 2022 vs Q1 2022

The provision for credit losses was $219 million, compared to $222 million, a decrease of $3 million or 1%. The provision for credit losses ratio was stable at 13 basis points.

Provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $187 million, compared to a net reversal of $183 million. The net reversal this quarter includes approximately $210 million due to the release of allowances built in fiscal year 2020 no longer required, primarily in the retail portfolio, reflecting improvement in credit quality, and reversals in energy portfolios as a result of increased commodity prices. These were partially offset by portfolio growth and the impact of the macroeconomic forecast.

Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $406 million compared to $405 million driven by higher commercial formations, mainly in International Banking, mostly offset by lower retail formations in both Canadian Banking and International Banking. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 24 basis points, remaining unchanged from the prior quarter.

Year-to-date

Q2 2022 vs

Year-to-date

Q2 2021

Provision for credit losses on performing loans was a net reversal of $370 million, compared to a net reversal of $694 million. The provision reversals were primarily in the retail portfolio driven by improved credit quality and also in the energy portfolio due to increased commodity prices, partially offset by portfolio growth. The provision reversals included approximately $420 million (April 30, 2021 - $200 million) of allowance releases from those built in fiscal year 2020 no longer required.

Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $811 million compared to $1,954 million, a decrease of $1,143 million or 58% due primarily to lower formations across all portfolios. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans decreased 40 basis points to 24 basis points.

Non-interest expenses

Q2 2022 vs Q2 2021

Non-interest

expenses were $4,159 million, up $117 million or 3%. Higher personnel costs, share-based compensation, professional fees, advertising and technology-related costs to support business growth were partly offset by the positive impact of foreign currency translation and lower performance-based compensation.

The productivity ratio was 52.4% compared to 52.2%. On an adjusted basis, the productivity ratio was 52.1% compared to 51.9%. Operating leverage was negative 0.2% on a reported basis and negative 0.3% on an adjusted basis.

Q2 2022 vs Q1 2022

Non-interest

expenses were down $64 million or 2%. The decrease was due to lower performance-based compensation, seasonally higher

share-based

compensation in the prior quarter, lower business and capital taxes, the positive impact of foreign currency translation and the benefit of three fewer days in the quarter.

The productivity ratio was 52.4% compared to 52.5%. On an adjusted basis, the productivity ratio was 52.1% compared to 52.2%.

Year-to-date

Q2 2022 vs

Year-to-date

Q2 2021

Non-interest

expenses were up $132 million or 2%. Higher personnel costs, share-based payments, professional fees, advertising and technology-related costs to support business growth were partly offset by the positive impact of foreign currency translation. The prior year’s expenses included the increased investment in the SCENE loyalty program and higher performance-based compensation related to elevated wealth management performance fees.

The productivity ratio was 52.4% compared to 52.2%. On an adjusted basis, the productivity ratio was 52.1% compared to 51.8%. Operating leverage was negative 0.4% on a reported basis and negative 0.5% on an adjusted basis.

Taxes

Q2 2022 vs Q2 2021

The effective tax rate was 22.9% compared to 23.2%, due primarily to changes in earnings mix across businesses and jurisdictions.

Q2 2022 vs Q1 2022

The effective tax rate was 22.9% compared to 24.0% in the previous quarter, due primarily to higher inflationary adjustments in Mexico and Chile this quarter and changes in earnings mix across businesses and jurisdictions.

Year-to-date

Q2 2022 vs

Year-to-date

Q2 2021

The effective tax rate increased to 23.4% from 22.9%. On an adjusted basis, the effective rate was 23.5% as compared to 23.0%, due primarily to changes in earnings mix across businesses and jurisdictions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Business Segment Review

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 up

tax-exempt

income earned on certain securities reported in either net interest income or

non-interest

income arising from both taxable and

non-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 TEB

gross-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

Q2 2022 vs Q2 2021

Net income attributable to equity holders was a net loss of $10 million, compared to net income of $130 million in the prior year. The decrease of $140 million was due mainly to significantly lower investment gains and higher

non-interest

expenses, partially offset by a higher contribution from asset/liability management activities.

Q2 2022 vs Q1 2022

Net income attributable to equity holders increased $57 million from the prior quarter, due primarily to higher contribution from asset/liability management activities.

Net income attributable to equity holders was a net loss of $77 million compared to net income of $177 million. The decrease of $254 million was due mainly to significantly lower investments gains and a lower contribution from asset/liability management activities. This was partially offset by lower

non-interest

expenses mainly related to the Bank’s increased investment in the SCENE loyalty program in the prior year.

Trending analysis

Earnings have trended upward over the period. Results in 2020 were negatively impacted by

COVID-19

due to the significantly higher provision for credit losses. Economic conditions have subsequently rebounded. Results have improved over the period mainly from lower provision for credit losses, as a result of improved credit quality and macroeconomic conditions.

Canadian Banking results have been trending upward over the period, driven by strong revenue growth, consistent positive operating leverage, and lower provision for credit losses as a result of improved credit quality.

International Banking results have reflected improvements over the period, compared to the negative impacts of the pandemic during 2020. Provision for credit losses have normalized, and expenses remain well controlled, driven by cost management initiatives.

Global Wealth Management has delivered strong earnings growth over the period. Revenue increases were driven by strong sales momentum and elevated levels of market activity in the Canadian asset management and wealth advisory businesses. Expenses have grown over the period due largely to higher volume-driven activity.

Global Banking and Markets results are affected by market conditions that impact revenue from client activity in the capital markets and corporate and investment banking businesses. Provision for credit losses have generally decreased over the period.

Provision for credit losses

Provision for credit losses decreased significantly during the period. This was driven by performing loan provision reversals reflecting improvement in credit quality and more favourable macroeconomic outlook. Impaired loan provisions also trended lower due to lower formations across markets.

Non-interest

expenses

Non-interest

expenses have been relatively stable over the period, with certain quarters impacted by seasonality or adjusting items. The trend has been driven by the favourable impact of foreign currency translation and ongoing expense management and efficiency initiatives.

Provision for income taxes

The effective tax rate was 22.9% this quarter and averaged 21.2% over the period. Effective tax rates were impacted by divestitures, varying levels of provision for credit losses and net income earned in foreign jurisdictions, as well as the variability of

tax-exempt

dividend income and inflationary adjustments.

Derivative instrument assets increased by $12 billion due mainly to changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and higher activity. Other assets increased $7 billion due mainly to higher collateral requirements, tax assets and receivables. Trading securities decreased $14 billion due to lower trading and client activity.

Total liabilities were $1,217 billion as at April 30, 2022, up $105 billion or 9%, including 1% due to the impact of foreign currency translation, from October 31, 2021. Total deposits increased $79 billion. Personal deposits of $253 billion increased $9 billion due mainly to growth in Canada. Business and government deposits grew by $58 billion mainly in Canada. Deposits by financial institutions increased $12 billion due mainly to increased deposits from central banks and higher deposits in Canada. Obligation related to securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lent increased by $9 billion due to higher activity and funding requirements. Obligations related to securities sold short increased by $4 billion due mainly to larger Canadian government positions. Derivative instrument liabilities increased $15 billion which was similar to the increase in derivative instrument assets.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $925 million from October 31, 2021. Equity was lower due to dividends paid of $2,520 million, share buybacks of $2,336 million, redemption of preferred shares and other equity instruments of $500 million, change in derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of $2,558 million and a reduction in non-controlling interests in subsidiaries of $637 million due mainly to the Bank’s increased ownership in Scotiabank Chile. Partially offsetting these items were current year earnings of $5,487 million, an increase of $1,014 million in the cumulative foreign currency translation amount, revaluation of the Bank’s employee benefit plans of $855 million, and changes in other components of OCI of $290 million.

Risk Management

The Bank’s risk management policies and practices have not substantially changed from those outlined in the Bank’s 2021 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 2021 Annual Report.

Significant developments that took place during this quarter are as follows:

Credit risk

Allowance for credit losses

IFRS 9

Financial Instruments

, requires the consideration of past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forward-looking information over the life of the exposure to measure expected credit losses. Furthermore, to assess significant increases in credit risk, IFRS 9 requires that entities assess changes in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of a financial instrument when determining staging.

The Bank’s models are calibrated to consider past performance and macroeconomic forward-looking variables as inputs as further described below. Expert credit judgement may be made in circumstances where, in the Bank’s view, the inputs, assumptions, and/or modelling techniques do not capture all relevant risk factors. Expert credit judgement continues to be applied to consider the continued impacts from

COVID-19,

both domestically and internationally, in the assessment of underlying credit deterioration and migration of balances to progressive stages. Consistent with the requirements of IFRS 9, the Bank considered both quantitative and qualitative information in the assessment of a significant increase in risk.

The Bank has no direct credit exposure to Russia or Ukraine but does have credit exposure to businesses that are impacted either directly or indirectly, by higher energy costs or commodity prices, or potential disruption within their supply chains. The Bank monitors both the internal and external indicators for signs of contagion risk and any second or third order risks that may arise from the war in Ukraine above and beyond those captured in the macroeconomic outlook. Such impacts are not significant and are appropriately mitigated.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

The Bank has generated a forward-looking base case scenario and three alternate forward-looking scenarios (one optimistic and two pessimistic) as key inputs into the expected credit loss provisioning models. Relative to the base case, the optimistic scenario features a somewhat stronger economic activity. The two pessimistic scenarios were updated this quarter around the potential risk of stagflation and recession.

In light of current economic uncertainty, the updated pessimistic scenarios feature a protracted period of high commodity prices, elevated financial market uncertainty and a further disruption to supply chains. All these elements lead to much higher inflation compared to the baseline scenario. Central banks respond by hiking rates more aggressively in the pessimistic scenarios, pushing rates across the yield curve higher compared to the baseline scenario and resulting in a rapid deceleration of growth. In the pessimistic scenario, stagflation is short-lived, while in the very pessimistic scenario, a recession persists for a longer period of time.

The table below shows a comparison of projections for the next 12 months, as at April 30, 2022, January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, of select macroeconomic variables that impact the expected credit loss calculations (see page 66 for all key variables):

The total allowance for credit losses as at April 30, 2022, was $5,375 million. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $5,294 million, down $198 million from the prior quarter. The decrease was due primarily to releases of performing loan provisions driven by improved portfolio credit quality and impact of increased commodity prices.

The allowance on performing loans was lower at $3,690 million compared to $3,869 million as at January 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily related to the Canadian Banking retail portfolio and Global Banking and Markets driven by releases due to improved portfolio credit quality, and reversals of allowances in the energy portfolio as a result of increased commodity prices.

The allowance on impaired loans decreased to $1,604 million from $1,623 million last quarter. The decrease was primarily related to the International Banking retail portfolio driven by lower formations across markets this quarter.

Impaired loans

Gross impaired loans decreased to $4,264 million as at April 30, 2022, compared to $4,435 million last quarter. The decrease was due primarily to lower net formations. The gross impaired loan ratio was 60 basis points as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of four basis points from last quarter.

Net impaired loans in Canadian Banking were $421 million as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of $66 million from last quarter, due to lower gross impaired loans driven by lower retail net formations and commercial write-offs. International Banking’s net impaired loans were $2,068 million as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of $29 million from last quarter, as lower retail gross impaired loans were partially offset by higher commercial gross impaired loans. In Global Wealth Management, net impaired loans were $23 million as at April 30, 2022, unchanged from last quarter. In Global Banking and Markets, net impaired loans were $148 million as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of $57 million from last quarter, due primarily to repayment on one account and low formations. Net impaired loans as a percentage of loans and acceptances were 0.37% as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of four basis points from 0.41% 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 April 30, 2022, these loans amounted to $446 billion or 62% of the Bank’s total loans and acceptances outstanding (January 31, 2022 – $437 billion or 63%). Of these, $359 billion or 81% are real estate secured loans (January 31, 2022 – $352 billion or 81%). 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 undertakes regular stress testing of its mortgage book to determine the impact of various combinations of home price declines and unemployment increases. Those results continue to show that credit losses and impacts on capital ratios are within a level the Bank considers manageable. In addition, the Bank has undertaken extensive

all-Bank

scenario analyses to assess the impact to the enterprise of different scenarios and is confident that it has the financial resources to withstand even a very negative outlook. In practice, the mortgage 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.

Regional

non-retail

exposures

The Bank’s exposures outside Canada and the US are diversified by region and product and are sized appropriately relative to the credit worthiness of the counterparties (65% of the exposures are to investment grade counterparties based on a combination of internal and external ratings). The Bank’s exposures are carried 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 has no direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine. While some customers may be negatively impacted by the conflict in the region and by trade restrictions as a result of sanctions, the impact to the Bank, to date, is immaterial and appropriately mitigated.

The Banks exposures to sovereigns was $58.7 billion as at April 30, 2022 (January 31, 2022 – $57.3 billion; October 31, 2021 – $59.9 billion), $15.6 billion to banks (January 31, 2022 – $13.4 billion; October 31, 2021 – $13.4 billion) and $120.2 billion to corporates (January 31, 2022 – $116.7 billion; October 31, 2021 – $111.2 billion).

Market risk

Value at Risk (VaR) is a key measure of market risk in the Bank’s trading activities. VaR includes both general market risk and debt specific risk components. The Bank also calculates a Stressed VaR measure.

In the second quarter of 2022, the average

one-day

Total VaR was in line with the prior quarter.

The average

one-day

Total Stressed VaR decreased during the quarter to $26.4 million, mainly due to unwinding

year-end

client driven transactions. Stressed VaR is calculated using the worst-case scenario from fixed historical periods and in Q2 2022, the Stressed VaR was calculated from 2008/2009 credit crisis period.

There were three trading loss days this 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).

Non-trading

interest rate sensitivity

The following table shows the

pro-forma

pre-tax

impact on the Bank’s net interest income over the next twelve months and economic value of shareholders’ equity of an immediate and sustained 100 basis points increase and a 25 basis points decrease in interest rate across major currencies as defined by the Bank. These calculations are based on models that consider a number of inputs and are on a constant balance sheet and make no assumptions for management actions to mitigate the risk.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

During the second quarter of 2022, both interest rate sensitivities remained within the Bank’s approved consolidated limits.

The Bank’s Asset/Liability Committee provides strategic direction for the management of structural interest rate risk within the risk appetite framework authorized by the Board of Directors. 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 under

non-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 and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

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 18 to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and in Note 36 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Bank’s 2021 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.

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 unrestricted 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.

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 primarily held by Global Banking and Markets, and collateral received from 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 April 30, 2022 unencumbered liquid assets were $264 billion (October 31, 2021 – $246 billion). Securities including National Housing Act (NHA) mortgage-backed securities, comprised 69% of liquid assets (October 31, 2021 – 67%). Other unencumbered liquid assets, comprising cash and deposits with central banks, deposits with financial institutions, precious metals and call and short loans were 31% (October 31, 2021 – 33%). The increase in total liquid assets was mainly attributable to an increase in foreign government securities, partially offset by a decrease in Canadian government securities, other liquid securities and NHA mortgage-backed securities.

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 April 30, 2022. The liquidity value of the portfolio will vary under different stress events as different assumptions are used for the stress scenarios.

The Bank’s liquid asset pool is summarized in the following table:

The Bank’s liquidity pool is held across major currencies, mostly comprised of Canadian and U.S. dollar holdings. As shown above, the vast majority (84%) of liquid assets are held by the Bank’s corporate office, branches of the Bank, and Canadian subsidiaries of the Bank. To the extent a liquidity reserve held in a foreign subsidiary of the Bank is required for regulatory purposes, it is assumed to be unavailable to the rest of the Group. Other liquid assets held by a foreign subsidiary are assumed to be available only in limited circumstances. The Bank monitors and ensures compliance in relation to minimum levels of liquidity required and assets held within each entity, and/or jurisdiction.

Encumbered assets

In the course of the Bank’s

day-to-day

activities, securities and other assets are pledged to secure an obligation, participate in clearing or settlement systems, or operate in a foreign jurisdiction. Securities are also pledged under repurchase agreements. A summary of encumbered and unencumbered assets is presented below:

Scotiabank Second Quarter Report 2022

Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

As at April 30, 2022 total encumbered assets of the Bank were $363 billion (October 31, 2021 – $335 billion). Of the remaining $1,003 billion (October 31, 2021 – $922 billion) of unencumbered assets, $275 billion (October 31, 2021 – $256 billion) are considered readily available in the normal course of business to secure funding or meet collateral needs as detailed above.

In some

over-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 April 30, 2022 the potential adverse impact on derivatives collateral that would result from a

one-notch

two-notch

downgrade of the Bank’s rating below its lowest current rating was $23 million or $89 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 a

30-day

liquidity stress scenario, with assumptions defined in the Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI). 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.

The following table presents the Bank’s LCR for the quarter ended April 30, 2022, based on the average daily positions in the quarter:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

HQLA is substantially comprised of Level 1 assets (as defined in the LAR guideline), such as cash, deposits with central banks available to the Bank in times of stress, and highly rated securities issued or guaranteed by governments, central banks and supranational entities.

The increase in the Bank’s average LCR for the quarter ended April 30, 2022 versus the average of the previous quarter was attributable to normal business activities. The Bank monitors its significant currency exposures, Canadian and U.S. dollars, in accordance with its liquidity risk management framework and risk appetite.

Regulatory liquidity developments

In January 2022, OSFI finalized revisions to its LAR Guideline for implementation in April 2023. Updates were focused primarily on one of the metrics within the guideline, the Net Cumulative Cash Flow with modifications to the metric’s stress cash outflow and inflow rates.

Net stable funding ratio

The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) requires institutions to maintain a stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and

off-balance

sheet exposures. It is calculated as the ratio of available stable funding (ASF) to required stable funding (RSF), with assumptions defined in the OSFI LAR Guideline. The Bank is subject to a regulatory minimum NSFR of 100%.

ASF is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizons considered by the NSFR. RSF is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets held by the Bank as well as those of its

off-balance

sheet exposures.

The total weighted values for ASF and RSF included in the table that follows are derived by applying the assumptions specified in the LAR Guideline to balance sheet items, including capital instruments, wholesale funding, deposits, loans and mortgages, securities, derivatives and commitments to extend credit.

The following table presents the Bank’s NSFR as at April 30, 2022:

(1)	This measure has been disclosed in this document in accordance with OSFI Guideline – Net Stable Funding Ratio Disclosure Requirements (January 2021).

(2)	Items in the “no maturity” time bucket do not have a stated maturity. These may include, but are not limited to, items such as capital with perpetual maturity, non-maturity deposits, short positions, open maturity positions, non-HQLA equities, and physical traded commodities.

(3)	Weighted values represent balances calculated after the application of ASF and RSF rates, as prescribed by the OSFI LAR guideline.

(4)	Interdependent assets and liabilities are primarily comprised of transactions related to the Canada Mortgage Bond program.

Available stable funding is primarily provided by the Bank’s large pool of retail, small business and corporate customer deposits; secured and unsecured wholesale funding and capital. Required stable funding primarily originates from the Bank’s loan and mortgage portfolio, securities holdings,

off-balance

sheet items and other assets.

The increase in the Bank’s NSFR as at April 30, 2022 versus the previous quarter was mainly attributable to higher ASF from deposit growth and wholesale funding activities and lower RSF from securities. This was partially offset by higher RSF from loan and mortgage growth.

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 $334 billion as at April 30, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – $324 billion). The increase since October 31, 2021 is due primarily to growth in personal deposits and net changes in capital. A portion of commercial deposits, particularly those of an operating or relationship nature, are also considered part of the Bank’s core funding. Furthermore, core funding is augmented by longer-term wholesale debt issuances (original maturity of 1 year or more) of $210 billion (October 31, 2021 – $177 billion). Longer-term wholesale debt issuances include senior 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 each 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.

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 majority of these funds are sourced in Canadian and U.S. dollars. Where required, these funds are swapped to fund assets in different currencies. The funding strategy deployed by wholesale funding centres and the management of associated risks, such as geographic and currency risk, are 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, market capacity and diversification of funding. 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 programs (such as Canada Mortgage Bonds), uninsured residential mortgages through the Bank’s Covered Bond Program, retail credit card receivables through the Trillium Credit Card Trust II program, retail indirect auto loan receivables through the Securitized Term Auto Receivables Trust program and unsecured personal lines of credit receivables through the Halifax Receivables Trust program. CMHC securitization programs, while included in the Bank’s view of wholesale debt issuance, do not entail the

run-off

risk that can be experienced in funding raised from capital markets.

Outside of Canada, short-term wholesale debt may be 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, and

non-registered

programs, such as the securitization of retail indirect auto loan receivables through the Securitized Term Auto Receivables Trust program and retail credit card receivables through the Trillium Credit Card Trust II program. The Bank may issue its Covered Bond Program (listed with the U.K. Listing Authority and the Swiss Stock Exchange), in Europe, the United Kingdom, 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 (listed with the U.K. Listing Authority and the Swiss Stock Exchange) and Singapore Medium Term Note Programme (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 unsecured debt issued by the Bank on or after September 23, 2018, that has an original term greater than 400 days and is marketable, 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 April 30, 2022, issued and outstanding liabilities of $71 billion (October 31, 2021 – $50 billion) were subject to conversion under the

bail-in

regime.

(1)	Wholesale funding sources exclude obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements and bankers’ acceptances, which are disclosed in the contractual maturities table below. Amounts are based on remaining term to maturity.

(2)	Only includes commercial bank deposits.

(3)	Wholesale funding sources also exclude asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) issued by certain ABCP conduits that are not consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

(4)	Not subject to bail-in.

(5)	Includes structured notes issued to institutional investors.

(6)	Represents residential mortgages funded through Canadian Federal Government agency sponsored programs. Funding accessed through such programs does not impact the funding capacity of the Bank in its own name.

(7)	Although subordinated debentures are a component of regulatory capital, they are included in this table in accordance with EDTF recommended disclosures.

Wholesale funding generally bears a higher risk of

run-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 $264 billion as at April 30, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – $246 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 the

off-balance

sheet commitments as at April 30, 2022, 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 ratings

and its deposits and legacy senior debt are rated AA by DBRS Morningstar, Aa2 by Moody’s, A+ by Standard and Poor’s (S&P), and AA by Fitch. Fitch has a Negative outlook while the remaining rating agencies have a Stable outlook on the Bank. The Bank’s bail-inable senior debt is rated AA (low) by DBRS Morningstar, A2 by Moody’s,

AA-

by Fitch and

A-

by S&P. On April 18, 2022, DBRS Morningstar affirmed the Bank’s ratings and maintained the outlook at Stable. No other rating agency has made affirmations of or changes to the Bank’s credit ratings or outlooks during the quarter.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Capital Management

We continue to manage our capital in accordance with the capital management framework as described on pages 61 to 73 of the Bank’s 2021 Annual Report. In addition, in December 2021 OSFI confirmed that the Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) will remain at 2.50% of total risk-weighted assets. OSFI’s minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements, including the domestic systemically important bank

(D-SIB)

1.0% surcharge and its Domestic Stability Buffer remain at: 10.5%, 12.0% and 14.0% for Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, respectively.

Effective November 1, 2021,

D-SIBs

are required to maintain a minimum risk-based Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) ratio and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio. TLAC is defined as the aggregate of NVCC Tier 1 capital, NVCC Tier 2 capital, and other TLAC instruments that are subject to conversion in whole or in part into common shares under the CDIC Act and meet all of the eligibility criteria under the guidelines. The Bank’s minimum TLAC ratio requirements consist of 24.0% of risk-weighted assets (including the DSB requirement) and 6.75% of leverage ratio exposures. OSFI may subsequently vary the minimum TLAC requirements for individual

D-SIBs

or groups of

D-SIBs.

Where a

D-SIB

falls below the minimum TLAC requirements, OSFI may take any measures deemed appropriate, including measures set out in the Bank Act.

Commencing the first quarter of 2022, the Bank’s Leverage and TLAC Leverage ratios no longer benefited from the temporary exclusion of sovereign-issued securities from its leverage exposure measure. OSFI had confirmed that central bank reserves continue to be excluded from the Leverage ratio exposure measure until further notice.

Regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity ratios

The Bank’s various regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity measures consist of the following:

T32 Regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity ratios


	As at
($ millions)	April 30 2022		January 31 2022		October 31 2021
Common Equity Tier 1 capital (1)	$	51,547	$	52,150	$	51,010
Tier 1 capital (1)		57,201		57,911		57,915
Total regulatory capital (1)		66,628		65,527		66,101
Total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) (2)		133,841		122,613		115,681
Risk-weighted assets (1)(3)	$	445,273	$	433,682	$	416,105
Capital ratios (%) (1) :
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio		11.6		12.0		12.3
Tier 1 capital ratio		12.8		13.4		13.9
Total capital ratio		15.0		15.1		15.9
Total loss absorbing capacity ratio (2)		30.1		28.3		27.8
Leverage (4) :
Leverage exposures	$	1,360,184	$	1,308,247	$	1,201,766
Leverage ratio (%)		4.2		4.4		4.8
Total loss absorbing capacity leverage ratio (%) (2)		9.8		9.4		9.6

(1)	Regulatory capital ratios are determined in accordance with OSFI Guideline – Capital Adequacy Requirements (November 2018).

(2)	This measure has been disclosed in this document in accordance with OSFI Guideline – Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (September 2018). Results for October 31, 2021 are shown for comparative purposes and were not a regulatory requirement.

(3)	As at April 30, 2022, January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, the Bank did not have a regulatory capital floor add-on to risk-weighted assets for CET1, Tier 1, Total and TLAC RWA.

(4)	This measure has been disclosed in this document in accordance with OSFI Guideline – Leverage Requirements (November 2018).

The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio was 11.6% as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 40 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to common share buybacks under the Bank’s Normal Course Issuer Bid, the Bank’s increased ownership in Scotiabank Chile and changes in the valuation of investment securities, partially offset by the impacts from remeasurement of the Bank’s pension plan obligations and other items. Internal capital generation was offset by organic growth in risk-weighted assets across all business lines.

The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.8% as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 60 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to the above noted impacts to the CET1 ratio.

The Bank’s Total capital ratio was 15.0% as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 10 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to the redemption of $1.25 billion of NVCC subordinated debentures, and the above noted impacts to the CET1 ratio, partially offset by issuances during the quarter of $1.75 billion and USD $1.25 billion of NVCC subordinated debentures.

The Leverage ratio was 4.2% as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately 20 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to lower Tier 1 capital combined with strong growth in the Bank’s on and

off-balance

sheet assets.

The TLAC ratio was 30.1% as at April 30, 2022, an increase of approximately 180 basis points from the prior quarter, due primarily to net TLAC instrument issuances during the quarter and the above noted impacts to the Total capital ratio.

The TLAC Leverage ratio was 9.8%, an increase of approximately 40 basis points, due primarily to net TLAC issuances during the quarter.

As at April 30, 2022, the CET1, Tier 1, Total capital, Leverage, TLAC and TLAC Leverage ratios were well above OSFI’s minimum capital ratios.

Changes in regulatory capital

The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital was $51.5 billion, as at April 30, 2022, a decrease of approximately $603 million from the prior quarter, due primarily to share buybacks of $1.25 billion, changes in accumulated other comprehensive income net of regulatory capital deductions of $562 million (primarily from changes in the valuation of investment securities of $473 million, foreign currency translation of $264 million, partially offset by pension remeasurement gains net of regulatory deductions of $158 million) and lower non-controlling interest recognition in CET1 capital of $567 million. These were partially offset by strong internal capital generation of $1.4 billion and the Bank’s increased ownership of Scotiabank Chile which included common share issuances of $569 million and other regulatory capital adjustments of $144 million, net of changes in other reserves of $368 million.

Risk-weighted assets

CET1 risk-weighted assets (RWA) increased during the quarter by $11.6 billion (or 2.7%) to $445.3 billion, due primarily to organic growth in retail mortgages, personal and business lending.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

Normal Course Issuer Bid

On November 30, 2021, the Bank announced that OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) approved its normal course issuer bid (the “2022 NCIB”) pursuant to which it may repurchase for cancellation up to 24 million of the Bank’s common shares.

On March 28, 2022, the Bank announced that OSFI and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) approved an amendment to the 2022 NCIB (the “2022 NCIB Amendment”) to increase the number of common shares that the Bank may repurchase for cancellation from 24 million to 36 million. Purchases under the 2022 NCIB commenced on December 2, 2021, and will terminate upon earlier of: (i) the Bank purchasing the maximum number of common shares under the 2022 NCIB Amendment, (ii) the Bank providing a notice of termination, or (iii) December 1, 2022. On a quarterly basis, the Bank will notify OSFI prior to making purchases.

During the six months ended April 30, 2022, the Bank repurchased and cancelled approximately 26.3 million common shares at an average price of $88.76 per share for a total amount of $2,336 million.

No repurchases of common shares were made during the six months ended April 30, 2021.

Common dividend

The Board of Directors, at its meeting on May 24, 2022, approved a dividend of $1.03 per share. This quarterly dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of July 5, 2022 on July 27, 2022.

Regulatory capital developments

Basel Committee on Banking Supervision – Finalized Basel III Regulatory Capital 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 the remaining Basel III reforms. The previously expected implementation year of 2022 was delayed to 2023.

The final Basel III reforms 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 market risk framework from a Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB);

•

a revised standardized approach for operational risk, which will replace the existing standardized approaches and the advanced measurement approach;

•

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 a

G-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 not 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. There is a

phase-in

period for the 72.5% output floor from 2023 until 2028.

In January 2022, OSFI finalized revisions to its Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline, Leverage Requirements Guideline, and Pillar 3 Disclosures Guideline for

D-SIBs.

OSFI’s requirements are substantially aligned with Basel III with some differences, primarily in retail residential real estate and qualifying revolving retail exposures and with respect to an acceleration of the

phase-in

period of the aggregate output floor to 72.5% by 2026. Implementation timelines are Q2 2023, with the exception of CVA and FRTB market risk requirements which are effective Q1 2024.

Financial Instruments

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 175 of the Bank’s 2021 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 reflect the current economic environment, 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 uncollateralized

mark-to-market

exposure exceeds an agreed upon threshold. Such variation margin provisions can be

one-way

(only one party will ever post collateral) or

bi-lateral

(either party may post depending upon which party is

in-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 91 of the Bank’s 2021 Annual Report).

Total derivative notional amounts were $6,892 billion as at April 30, 2022, compared to $7,004 billion as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – $6,067 billion). The quarterly decrease was due primarily to lower volume of interest rate and foreign exchange contracts. The total notional amount of

over-the-counter

derivatives was $6,590 billion compared to $6,730 billion as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – $5,840 billion), of which $4,863 billion was settled through central counterparties as at April 30, 2022 (January 31, 2022 – $4,998 billion; October 31, 2021 – $4,240 billion). The credit equivalent amount, after taking master netting arrangements into account, was $37.4 billion, compared to $31.7 billion at January 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher exposure of other commodities, currency and interest rate contracts offset by a decrease in equity contracts.

Selected credit instruments

A complete discussion of selected credit instruments which markets regarded as higher risk during the financial crisis was provided on page 78 of the Bank’s 2021 Annual Report. The Bank’s net exposures have remained substantially unchanged from year end.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

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. 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 74 to 76 of the Bank’s 2021 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 $4.7 billion as at April 30, 2022 (October 31, 2021 – $4.9 billion). As at April 30, 2022, total commercial paper outstanding for these conduits was $3.2 billion (October 31, 2021 – $3.5 billion). Funded assets purchased and held by these conduits as at April 30, 2022, as reflected at original cost, were $3.2 billion (October 31, 2021 – $3.5 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, 2021.

Other

off-balance

sheet arrangements

Guarantees and other indirect commitments increased by 1% from October 31, 2021. The increase is due primarily to securities lending activities and undrawn commitments. Fees from guarantees and loan commitment arrangements recorded as credit fees in

non-interest

income were $162 million for the three months ended April 30, 2022, compared to $170 million in the previous quarter, and $162 million in the same period last year.

Regulatory Developments

The Bank continues to monitor and respond to global regulatory developments relating to a broad spectrum of topics, in order to ensure that control functions and business lines are responsive on a timely basis and business impacts, if any, are minimized. A high-level summary of some of the key regulatory developments that have the potential of impacting the Bank’s operations is included in the Legal and compliance risk section in the Bank’s 2021 Annual Report, as may be updated below.

Regulatory Initiatives Impacting Financial Services in Canada

On September 22, 2021, Quebec’s Act to Modernize Legislative Provisions respecting the Protection of Personal Information received royal assent and will come into force over the next three years. This law reforms Quebec Act Respecting the Protection of Personal Information in the Private Sector. It is modeled after the initial versions of the EU’s

General Data Protection Regulation

, and introduced key changes, including increased enforcement powers for the Commission d’accès à l’information, significant new monetary penalties for

non-compliance,

risk assessments for data transfers outside Quebec, mandatory breach notification and record keeping, and itemized express consent requirements. Draft regulations, for provisions coming into force in September 2022, were expected to be released for comment in March; however, they have not been issued. The Bank has established a project under which it will be engaging business stakeholders and key groups to consider the law’s application.

Bill 96 (Quebec) – Charter of the French Language

On May 13, 2021, the Quebec government tabled Bill 96, which provides for material amendments to the

Charter of the French Language

. The new Charter provides for new administrative obligations for organizations and strengthens the recourses available to employees and members of the general public. The

Office québécois de la langue française

will also have the power to impose much stricter penalties than currently available. The stated objectives of Bill 96 are, in particular, to strengthen the presence and use of the French language in Quebec, to establish a new

Charter of the

French

Language

, and to affirm that the only official language of Quebec is French. The main areas impacted by the new law will include labour and employment matters, the language of contracts, consumer rights, public signage, judicial remedies, and penalties. The Bank continues to monitor and consider the potential impacts of this legislation, which is expected to come into force before the end of the summer in 2022, with a 3-month period for implementation of most measures.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

Major interest rate benchmark review and reform have been undertaken globally, with a view to either reforming or phasing out certain interbank offered rates (IBORs), including the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR). As an alternative to IBORs, the regulators have recommended markets begin adopting alternative risk-free rates (RFRs). Further to previous announcements by various regulators, the publication of GBP, JPY, CHF and EUR LIBORs ceased after December 31, 2021, while most of the USD LIBOR tenors (i.e., overnight,

one-month,

three-month,

six-month

and

12-month

tenors) continue to be published until June 30, 2023.

The Federal Reserve Board and other US agencies have encouraged banks to transition away from USD LIBOR and cease entering new contracts after December 31, 2021, to facilitate an orderly transition. Similarly, OSFI stated that Federally Regulated Financial Institutions (FRFIs) should not enter new transactions using USD LIBOR as a reference rate after December 31, 2021. The details regarding the Bank’s Transition Program for IBOR Reform are available in Note 4 of the 2021 Annual Report. The Bank’s Transition Program Office continues to focus its efforts on the transition of products referencing USD LIBOR and ensuring the Bank is not building on its exposure to USD LIBOR, except as permitted by the regulators.

On May 16, 2022, Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (RBSL), the administrator of CDOR, announced the cessation of the publication of

one-month,

two-months,

and three-months CDOR tenors after June 28, 2024, and this was authorized by the Ontario Securities Commission and the Autorité des marchés financiers. OSFI has also set out expectations for FRFIs, with transactions linked to CDOR, to transition to new reference rates prior to the respective cessation dates.

Concurrently, the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate (CARR) committee published a detailed transition roadmap with milestones to guide market participants on the transition away from CDOR. The Bank’s Transition Program Office is updating its project plans to reflect the detailed transition roadmap and milestones published by CARR and ensure alignment with OSFI’s expectations for FRFIs.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

2022 Federal Budget Tax Measures

On April 7, 2022, the Canadian Minister of Finance released the Federal Budget (“Budget”) which, among other proposals, included certain tax measures affecting large banks and other financial institutions. The Budget proposes a Canada Recovery Dividend (“CRD”), under which the Bank will pay a

one-time

15% tax on taxable income in excess of $1 billion based on the 2021 taxation year, as well as an increase of 1.5% to the Bank’s corporate income tax rate on its future earnings. Once enacted, the proposed tax measures will be effective as of the 2022 taxation year, with the CRD to be payable in equal amounts over five years.

The impact of these proposed tax measures has not been recognized in the Bank’s financial results as they are not substantively enacted as at April 30, 2022. Furthermore, their impact cannot be accurately assessed at this time due to uncertainties around how the rules will be finalized.

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, 2021 as described in Note 3 of the Bank’s 2021 annual 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 2021 Annual Report.

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 April 30, 2022, 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 2021 Annual Report. All transactions with related parties continued to be at market terms and conditions.

Glossary

Allowance for Credit Losses:

An allowance set aside which, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb credit-related losses on all financial assets and

Allowance against Impaired Loans as a % of Gross Impaired Loans:

The ratio of allowance against impaired loans to gross impaired loans.

Assets Under Administration (AUA):

Assets administered by the Bank which are beneficially owned by clients and therefore not reported on the Bank’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Services provided for AUA are of an administrative nature, such as trusteeship, custodial, safekeeping, income collection and distribution, securities trade settlements, customer reporting, and other similar services.

Assets Under Management (AUM):

Assets managed by the Bank on a discretionary basis and in respect of which the Bank earns investment management fees. AUM are beneficially owned by clients and are therefore not reported on the Bank’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Some AUM are also administered assets and are therefore included in assets under administration.

Bankers’ Acceptances (BAs):

Negotiable, short-term debt securities, guaranteed for a fee by the issuer’s bank.

Basis Point:

A unit of measure defined as

one-hundredth

of one per cent.

Book Value per Common Share:

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 and Total Capital Ratios:

Under Basel III, there are three primary regulatory capital ratios used to assess capital adequacy, CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios, which are determined by dividing those capital components by their respective risk-weighted assets.

CET1 consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity net of regulatory adjustments. These regulatory adjustments include goodwill, intangible assets net of deferred tax liabilities, deferred tax assets that rely on future profitability, defined-benefit pension fund net assets, shortfall of credit provision to expected losses and significant investments in common equity of other financial institutions.

Tier 1 includes CET1 and additional Tier 1 capital which consists primarily of qualifying

non-cumulative

preferred shares,

non-cumulative

subordinated additional Tier 1 capital notes and limited recourse capital notes. Tier 2 capital consists mainly of qualifying subordinated debentures and the eligible allowances for credit losses.

Total capital is comprised of CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.

Covered Bonds:

Debt obligations of the Bank for which the payment of all amounts of interest and principal are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by a limited partnership and secured by a pledge of the covered bond portfolio. The assets in the covered bond portfolio held by the limited partnership consist of first lien Canadian uninsured residential mortgages or first lien Canadian residential mortgages insured under CMHC Mortgage Insurance, respectively, and their related security interest.

Derivative Products:

Financial contracts whose value is derived from an underlying price, interest rate, exchange rate or price index. Forwards, options and swaps are all derivative instruments.

Dividend Yield:

Dividends per common share divided by the average of the high and low share price in the relevant period.

Effective Tax Rate:

The effective tax rate is the overall tax rate paid by the Bank on its earned income. The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the Bank’s income tax expenses by the income before taxes.

Fair Value:

The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Bank has access at the measurement date.

Commitments to buy or sell a specified amount of foreign currency on a set date and at a predetermined rate of exchange.

Forward Rate Agreement (FRA):

A contract between two parties, whereby a designated interest rate, applied to a notional principal amount, is locked in for a specified period of time. The difference between the contracted rate and prevailing market rate is paid in cash on the settlement date. These agreements are used to protect against, or take advantage of, future interest rate movements.

Futures:

Commitments to buy or sell designated amounts of commodities, securities or currencies on a specified date at a predetermined price. Futures are traded on recognized exchanges. Gains and losses on these contracts are settled daily, based on closing market prices.

The ratio of gross impaired loans, debt investments and

off-balance

sheet exposures expressed as a percentage of loans and acceptances.

Hedging:

Protecting against price, interest rate or foreign exchange exposures by taking positions that are expected to react to market conditions in an offsetting manner.

Impaired Loans:

Loans on which the Bank no longer has reasonable assurance as to the timely collection of interest and principal, or where a contractual payment is past due for a prescribed period or the customer is declared to be bankrupt. Excludes Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) guaranteed loans.

Leverage Ratio:

The ratio of Basel III Tier 1 capital to a leverage exposure measure which includes

on-balance

sheet assets and

off-balance

sheet commitments, derivatives and securities financing transactions, as defined within the OSFI Leverage Requirements Guideline.

Market Value to Book Value Multiple:

This financial valuation metric is calculated by dividing the current closing share price of the period by the book value per common share.

Net Impaired Loans as a % of Loans and Acceptances:

The ratio of net impaired loans, debt investments and

off-balance

sheet exposures expressed as a percentage of loans and acceptances.

Notional Principal Amounts:

The contract or principal amounts used to determine payments for certain

off-balance

sheet instruments and derivatives, such as FRAs, interest rate swaps and cross-currency swaps. The amounts are termed “notional” because they are not usually exchanged themselves, serving only as the basis for calculating amounts that do change hands.

Off-Balance

Sheet Instruments:

These are indirect credit commitments, including undrawn commitments to extend credit and derivative instruments, which are not recorded on the Bank’s balance sheet under IFRS.

Operating Leverage:

This financial metric measures the rate of growth in total revenue less the rate of growth in operating expenses.

Price to Earnings Multiple (Trailing 4 Quarters):

Closing share price at period end divided by cumulative basic earnings per common share (EPS) of the past 4 quarters.

Productivity Ratio:

Management uses the productivity ratio as a measure of the Bank’s efficiency. This ratio represents operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue.

Provision for Credit Losses (PCL) as a % of Average Net Loans and Acceptances:

The ratio of PCL on loans, acceptances and

off-balance

sheet exposures expressed as a percentage of average net loans and acceptances.

Provision for Credit Losses (PCL) on Impaired Loans as a % of Average Net Loans and Acceptances:

PCL on impaired loans ratio under IFRS 9 is calculated using PCL on impaired loans, acceptances and

off-balance

Repos:

Repos is short for “obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements” – a short-term transaction where the Bank sells assets, normally government bonds, to a client and simultaneously agrees to repurchase them on a specified date and at a specified price. It is a form of short-term funding.

Return on Assets (ROA):

Net income expressed as a percentage of total average assets.

Return on Equity (ROE):

Net income attributable to common shareholders, expressed as a percentage of average common shareholders’ equity. The Bank attributes capital to its business lines on a basis that approximates 10.5% of Basel III common equity capital requirements which includes credit, market and operational risks and leverage inherent in each business segment. 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.

Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE):

Return on Tangible Common Equity 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 acquisition-related intangible assets (excluding software), net of deferred taxes.

Reverse Repos:

Reverse repos is short for “securities purchased under resale agreements” – a short-term transaction where the Bank purchases assets, normally government bonds, from a client and simultaneously agrees to resell them on a specified date and at a specified price. It is a form of short-term collateralized lending.

Risk-Weighted Assets:

Comprised of three broad categories including credit risk, market risk and operational risk, which are computed under the Basel III Framework in accordance with OSFI Guideline – Capital Adequacy Requirements (November 2018). Risk-weighted assets for credit risk are calculated using modelled parameters, formulas and risk-weight requirements as specified by the Basel III Framework. In addition, the Bank uses both internal models and standardized approaches to calculate market risk capital and standardized approaches for operational risk capital which are converted to risk-weighted assets.

Securitization:

The process by which financial assets (typically loans) are transferred to a trust, which normally issues a series of different classes of asset-backed securities to investors to fund the purchase of loans.

Structured Entities:

A structured entity is defined as an entity created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective. A structured entity may take the form of a corporation, trust, partnership or unincorporated entity. Structured entities are often created with legal arrangements that impose strict and sometimes permanent limits on the decision-making powers of their governing board, trustee or management over the operations of the entity.

Standby Letters of Credit and Letters of Guarantee:

Written undertakings by the Bank, at the request of the customer, to provide assurance of payment to a third-party regarding the customer’s obligations and liabilities to that third-party.

Structured Credit Instruments:

A wide range of financial products which includes Collateralized Debt Obligations, Collateralized Loan Obligations, Structured Investment Vehicles, and Asset-Backed Securities. These instruments represent investments in pools of credit-related assets, whose values are primarily dependent on the performance of the underlying pools.

Swaps:

Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange streams of interest payments, typically one at a floating rate, the other at a fixed rate, over a specified period of time, based on notional principal amounts. Cross-currency swaps are agreements to exchange payments in different currencies over predetermined periods of time.

Taxable Equivalent Basis (TEB):

The Bank analyzes net interest income,

non-interest

income, and total revenue on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB). This methodology grosses up

tax-exempt

income earned on certain securities reported in either net interest income or

non-interest

income arising from both taxable

Scotiabank Second Quarter Report 2022

Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

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. For purposes of segmented reporting, a segment’s revenue and provision for income taxes are grossed up by the taxable equivalent amount. The elimination of the TEB gross up is recorded in the Other segment.

Total Annual Shareholder Return (TSR):

Total annual shareholder return is calculated as the overall appreciation in share price, plus any dividends paid during the year; this sum is then divided by the share price at the beginning of the year to arrive at the TSR. Total annual shareholder return assumes reinvestment of quarterly dividends.

Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC):

The aggregate of NVCC Tier 1 capital, NVCC Tier 2 capital, and other TLAC instruments that are subject to conversion in whole or in part into common shares under the CDIC Act and meet all of the eligibility criteria under the OSFI guideline – Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (September 2018).

Value At Risk (VaR):

An estimate of the potential loss that might result from holding a position for a specified period of time, with a given level of statistical confidence.

Yield Curve:

A graph showing the term structure of interest rates, plotting the yields of similar quality bonds by term to maturity.

Exposure Types

Non-retail

Corporate:

Defined as a debt obligation of a corporation, partnership, or proprietorship.

Bank:

Defined as a debt obligation of a bank or bank equivalent (including certain public sector entities (PSEs) treated as bank equivalent exposures).

Sovereign:

Defined as a debt obligation of a sovereign, central bank, certain multi development banks and certain PSEs treated as sovereign.

Securitization:

On-balance

sheet investments in asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized debt obligations,

off-balance

sheet liquidity lines to the Bank’s own sponsored and third-party conduits and credit enhancements.

Retail

Residential Mortgage:

Loans to individuals against residential property (four units or less).

Secured Lines Of Credit:

Revolving personal lines of credit secured by residential real estate.

Qualifying Revolving Retail Exposures:

Credit cards and unsecured lines of credit for individuals.

Other Retail:

Undrawn:

Unutilized portion of authorized committed credit lines.

Other Exposures

Repo-Style Transactions:

Reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repos) and repurchase agreements (repos), securities lending and borrowing.

OTC Derivatives:

Over-the-counter

derivatives contracts refers to financial instruments which are traded through a dealer network rather than through an exchange.

Other

Off-balance

Sheet:

Direct credit substitutes, such as standby letters of credit and guarantees, trade letters of credit, and performance letters of credit and guarantees.

Exchange-Traded Derivative Contracts:

Exchange-traded derivative contracts are derivative contracts (e.g., futures contracts and options) that are transacted on an organized futures exchange. These include futures contracts (both long and short positions), purchased options and written options.

Qualifying Central Counterparty (QCCP):

A licensed central counterparty is considered “qualifying” when it is compliant with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) standards and is able to assist clearing member banks in properly capitalizing for CCP exposures.

Asset Value Correlation Multiplier (AVC):

Basel III has increased the risk-weights on exposures to certain Financial Institutions (FIs) relative to the

non-financial

corporate sector by introducing an AVC. The correlation factor in the risk-weight formula is multiplied by this AVC factor of 1.25 for all exposures to regulated FIs whose total assets are greater than or equal to US $100 billion and all exposures to unregulated FIs.

Specific

Wrong-Way

Risk (WWR):

Specific

Wrong-Way

Risk arises when the exposure to a particular counterparty is positively correlated with the probability of default of the counterparty due to the nature of the transactions with the counterparty.

Basel II Regulatory Capital Floor:

Since the introduction of Basel II in 2008, OSFI has prescribed a minimum regulatory capital floor for institutions that use the advanced internal ratings-based approach for credit risk. Effective Q2 2018, the Basel II capital floor

add-on

is determined by comparing a capital requirement calculated by reference to the Basel II standardized approach for credit risk. Revised Basel II capital floor requirements also include risk-weighted assets for market risk and CVA. A shortfall in the Basel III capital requirement as compared with the Basel II floor is added to RWA.

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, 2021.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended April 30, 2022 have been approved by the Board of Directors for issue on May 25, 2022.

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

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 of

non-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, 2021.

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, 2021 as described in Note 3 of the Bank’s 2021 annual consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for credit losses

(i)

Key inputs and assumptions

The Bank’s allowance for credit losses is measured using a three-stage approach based on the extent of credit deterioration since origination. The calculation of the Bank’s allowance for credit losses is an output of complex models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. 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.

Scotiabank Second Quarter Report 2022

Table of Contents

CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Bank determines its allowance for credit losses using four probability-weighted forward-looking scenarios (base case, optimistic, pessimistic and very pessimistic).

The Bank considers both internal and external sources of information and data to achieve unbiased projections and forecasts in determining the allowance for credit losses. The Bank prepares the scenarios using forecasts generated by Scotiabank Economics (SE). The forecasts are generated using models whose outputs are modified by SE as necessary to formulate a ‘base case’ view of the most probable future direction of economic developments. The development of the baseline and alternative scenarios is overseen by a governance committee that consists of internal stakeholders from across the Bank. The final baseline and alternative scenarios reflect significant review and oversight, and incorporate judgment both in the determination of the scenarios’ forecasts and the probability weights that are assigned to them.

(ii)

Key macroeconomic variables

The inputs and models used for calculating expected credit losses may not always capture all characteristics of the market at the date of the financial statements. Qualitative adjustments or overlays may be made for certain portfolios or geographies as temporary adjustments in circumstances where, in the Bank’s view, the inputs, assumptions, and/or modelling techniques do not capture all relevant risk factors, including the emergence of economic or geopolitical events.

The Bank has applied expert credit judgement in the assessment of underlying credit deterioration and migration of balances to progressive stages. The Bank considered both quantitative and qualitative information in the assessment of significant increase in credit risk.

The Bank’s models are calibrated to consider past performance and macroeconomic forward-looking variables as inputs. The Bank has generated a forward-looking base case scenario and three alternate forward-looking scenarios (one optimistic and two pessimistic) as key inputs into the expected credit loss provisioning models. Relative to the base case, the optimistic scenario features somewhat stronger economic activity. The two pessimistic scenarios were updated this quarter around the potential risk of stagflation and recession.

In light of current economic uncertainty, the pessimistic scenarios feature a protracted period of high commodity prices, elevated financial market uncertainty and a further disruption to supply chains. All these elements lead to much higher inflation compared to the baseline scenario resulting in a rapid deceleration of growth. In the pessimistic scenario, stagflation is short-lived, while in the very pessimistic scenario, a recession persists for a longer period of time.

Sensitivity

Relative to our base case scenario, the

weighting of these multiple scenarios increased our reported allowance for credit losses for financial assets in Stage 1 and Stage 2 to $3,771 million (January 31, 2022 – $3,960 million; October 31, 2021 – $4,076 million) from $3,698 million (January 31, 2022 – $3,900 million; October 31, 2021 – $3,998 million). If we were to only use our

very

pessimistic scenario for the measurement of allowance for credit losses for such assets, our allowance for credit losses on performing financial instruments would be $679 million (January 31, 2022 – $675 million; October 31, 2021 – $866 million) higher than the reported allowance for credit losses as at April 30, 2022. Actual results will differ as this does not consider the migration of exposures or incorporate changes that would occur in the portfolio due to risk mitigation actions and other factors.

Under our current probability-weighted scenarios, if all of our performing financial assets were in Stage 1, reflecting a 12 month expected loss period, the allowance for credit losses would be $391 million (January 31, 2022 – $381 million; October 31, 2021 – $407 million) lower than the reported allowance for credit losses on performing financial assets.

Loans past due but not impaired

(1)

A loan is considered past due when a counterparty has not made a payment by the contractual due date. The following table presents the carrying value of loans that are contractually past due but not classified as impaired because they are either less than 90 days past due or fully secured and collection efforts are reasonably expected to result in repayment, or restoring it to a current status in accordance with the Bank’s policy.

8.	Derecognition of financial assets

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 and 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. The Trust issues securities to third-party investors. The CMHC also purchased insured mortgage pools from the Bank under the Insured Mortgage Purchase Program (IMPP).

The sale of mortgages under the above programs do not meet the derecognition requirements, where the Bank retains the pre-payment and interest rate risks associated with the mortgages, which represent substantially all the risks and rewards associated with the transferred assets.

These include cash held in trust and trust permitted investment assets acquired as part of the principal reinvestment account that the Bank is required to maintain in order to participate in the programs.

Securitization of personal lines of credit, credit cards and auto loans

The Bank securitizes a portion of its credit card and auto loan receivables through consolidated structured entities. These receivables continue to be recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as personal loans and credit card loans. During the quarter, the Bank did not enter into any new securitization arrangements.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lent

The Bank enters into transactions, such as repurchase agreements and securities lending agreements, where the Bank transfers assets under agreements to repurchase them on a future date and retains all the substantial risks and rewards associated with the assets.

13.	Share-based payments

During the first quarter, the Bank granted 1,716,536 options with an exercise price of $85.46 per option and a weighted average fair value of $7.54 to select employees, under the terms of the Employee Stock Option Plan. These stock options vest 50% at the end of the third year and 50% at the end of the fourth year. Options granted prior to December 2014 vest evenly over a four-year period.

The Bank recorded an increase to equity – other reserves of $2 million and $8 million for the three months and six months ended April 30, 2022 (April 30, 2021 – $1 million and $5

15.	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 four business lines: Canadian Banking, International Banking, Global Banking and Markets, and Global Wealth Management. Other smaller business segments are included in the Other segment. 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 2021 Annual Report. Notable accounting measurement differences are:

•

tax normalization adjustments related to the gross-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 of tax-exempt net interest income and non-interest income to an equivalent before-tax basis for those affected segments. This change in measurement enables comparison of net interest income and non-interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.

18.	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, 2021.

(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.

Scotiabank Second Quarter Report 2022

Table of Contents

CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 for non-retail exposures and product type for retail exposures.

(2)

Non-retail AIRB drawn exposures include government guaranteed and privately insured mortgages.

(3)

Non-retail drawn includes loans, bankers’ acceptances, deposits with financial institutions and FVOCI debt securities.

(4)

Includes off-balance sheet lending instruments such as letters of credit, letters of guarantee, securitizations, over-the-counter derivatives and repo-style transactions net of related collateral.

(5)

Retail drawn includes residential mortgages, credit cards, lines of credit and other personal loans.

Credit quality of non-retail exposures

The Bank’s non-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, 2021.

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 April 30, 2022,

% (January 31, 2022 –

%; October 31, 2021 –

%) of the Canadian residential mortgage portfolio is insured. The average loan-to-value ratio of the uninsured portion of the Canadian residential mortgage portfolio is

47% (January 31, 2022 – 49%; October 31, 2021 – 49%).

Retail standardized portfolio

The retail standardized portfolio of $99 billion as at April 30, 2022 (January 31, 2022 – $97 billion; October 31, 2021 – $91 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, $60 billion (January 31, 2022 – $59 billion; October 31, 2021 – $55 billion) was represented by mortgages and loans secured by residential real estate, mostly with a loan-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.

Scotiabank Second Quarter Report 2022

Table of Contents

CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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).

Non-trading foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk of loss due to changes in spot and forward rates.

As at April 30, 2022, a one per cent increase (decrease) in the Canadian dollar against all currencies in which the Bank operates decreases (increases) the Bank’s before-tax annual earnings by approximately $39 million due primarily from exposure to U.S. dollars and Chilean Pesos (January 31, 2022 – $

million) and the effect of which is not hedged.

A similar change in the Canadian dollar as at April 30, 2022, would increase (decrease) the unrealized foreign currency translation losses in the accumulated other comprehensive income section of shareholders’ equity by approximately $331 million (January 31, 2022 – $329 million; April 30, 2021 – $336 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 6.

(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 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 liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and their changes in fair value.

The cumulative change in fair value is measured from the instruments’ date of initial recognition.

Changes in fair value attributable to changes in the Bank’s own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income. Other changes in fair value are recorded in non-interest income – trading revenues. The offsetting fair value changes from associated derivatives is also recorded in non-interest income – trading revenues.

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 audited consolidated financial statements in the 2021 Annual Report for the valuation techniques used to fair value its significant financial assets and liabilities.

The following table sets out the fair values of financial instruments of the Bank and excludes non-financial assets, such as property and equipment, investments in associates, precious metals, goodwill and other intangible assets.

(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 for over-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 or other valuation techniques. Fair value estimates do not consider forced or liquidation sales.

Where financial instruments trade in inactive markets, illiquid 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 classified 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 at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

The following significant transfers made between Level 1 and 2, were based on whether the fair value was determined using quoted market prices from an active market.

During the three months ended April 30, 2022:

•

Trading assets of $1,191 million, investment securities of $475 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $624 million were transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1.

•

Trading assets of $1,306 million, investment securities of $463 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $361 million were transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2.

During the three months ended January 31, 2022:

•

Trading assets of $629 million, investment securities of $1,484 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $43 million were transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1.

•

Trading assets of $2,034 million, investment securities of $754 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $1,171 million were transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2.

During the three months ended October 31, 2021:

•

Trading assets of $9,455 million, investment securities of $3,407 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $2,550 million were transferred out of Level 2 into Level 1.

•

Trading assets of $9,972 million, investment securities of $13,474 million and obligations related to securities sold short of $2,235 million were transferred out of Level 1 into Level 2.

There were no significant transfers into and out of Level 3 during the three months ended April 30, 2022, January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021.

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, 2021 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.

million of tax and interest as a result of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”) and the Quebec and Alberta tax authorities denying the tax deductibility of certain Canadian dividends received during the 2011-2016 taxation years. In the second quarter of 2022, the Bank received a reassessment o

f $5 million of tax and interest from the Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration in respect of the same matter for the 2016 taxation year. The circumstances of the dividends subject to these reassessments are similar to those prospectively addressed by rules introduced in 2015 and 2018.

In 2021, a subsidiary of the Bank received withholding tax assessments from the CRA in respect of certain of its securities lending transactions for its 2014 and 2015 taxation years totaling $173 million of tax, penalties and interest. In the first quarter of 2022, assessments totaling $297

million were received in respect of similar securities lending transactions in 2016 and 2017.

In respect of both matters, 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.

Acquisition impacting the current period

Scotiabank Chile

During the quarter, the Bank completed the acquisition of an additional

16.8

% stake in Scotiabank Chile for $

1.2

billion from the non-controlling interest shareholder, increasing its ownership to

99.8

The purchase consideration was comprised of cash of $650 million and the issuance of 7 million common shares valued at $569 million. The increase in ownership was effective February 27, 2022. This transaction was accounted for as a capital transaction through shareholders’ equity and did not result in a change to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, or the Bank’s associated goodwill.

The transaction negatively impacted the Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio by 11 basis points. Scotiabank Chile forms part of the International Banking business segment.
