First off, the positives. TD’s second quarter revenues are ahead of analyst forecasts. Revenue rises by more than 11% year-over-year to C$13.82bn ($10.11bn). The bank is boosted by a stronger than expected performance in its Canadian home market and in wealth management. Specifically, earnings in Canada and in wealth management are ahead by 7% and 19% to C$1.74bn and C$621m respectively.
The increase in Canadian personal and commercial banking earnings reflects revenue growth. This is partially offset by higher provisions for credit losses and non-interest expenses. Revenue was C$4.84bn, an increase of 10%, driven by volume growth and margin expansion.

Another positive is the performance of the bank’s capital markets unit. TD completed the acquisition of US-based Cowen a year ago. The combined capital markets division posts net income on an adjusted basis that more than doubles to C$441m.
On the other hand, reported net income takes a C$1bn hit due to one-time restructuring charges and provisions for AML issues in the US. Reported net income for the second quarter is down by 22.4% y-o-y to C$2.56bn.
US Retail reports net income of C$580m ($433m), a decrease of 59% y-o-y. On an adjusted basis, net income of C$1.27bn is down by 16% y-o-y.
The US retail bank unit continues to deliver loan growth with total average loan balances up 7% y-o-y.
