Following our comments, we'll be glad to take your questions.
Before we start on behalf of those speaking today I will refer you to slide two of our presentation, which contains scotiabanks caution regarding forward looking statements with that I will now turn the call over to Brian Porter.
Thank you Phil and good morning, everyone.
I'll start on slide four.
Before I discuss our financial results for the quarter I'd like to comment briefly on the macroeconomic environment across our footprint and what it means for our businesses and our shareholders.
There has been increasing focus by investors on the risks to the global economic growth and its impact on interest rates. While there are emerging risks. It is important to provide some context to recent market volatility.
In Canada, our largest market we are experiencing strong population growth.
Unemployment remains near 40 year lows and we are experiencing wage growth of over 4% across our footprint in Latin America, where we have been deploying capital increasing our scale and enjoying double digit earnings growth.
GDP and most Pacific Alliance countries is forecast to grow approximately 3% this year and next year.
Given market conditions, we remain positive in our business outlook and will continue to execute on our strategy, while being mindful of emerging risks.
The bank has been active and redeploying capital through a series of acquisitions and divestitures to reposition the bank's geographic footprint in line with our strategy of improving earnings quality and simplifying our operations. We are focused on our Americas footprint and the alignment across our six key markets of Canada, the us and the Pacific Alliance countries, which contributed over 80% of the bank's earnings.
The bank is positioned for future growth to support our objectives.
We saw continued progress in the third quarter, we formalized an agreement to reduce our banking interest in Thailand, which will result in a gain to shareholders and increase our common equity tier one capital ratio by 25 basis points.
We also announced the sale of our operations in Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
The transaction along with others previously announced will further simplify our footprint in Central America, and the Caribbean and have a positive impact on the bank's credit quality, while reducing gross impaired loans by approximately 10% with these transactions the repositioning of our geographic footprint is substantially complete.
Our capital position remains strong with a common equity tier one capital ratio of 11.2% an increase of 10 basis points over the previous quarter.
On a pro forma basis, taking into account announced divestitures, our common equity tier one ratio is 11.7%.
With a clear path to higher capital, we enjoy considerable optionality across our key markets, while continuing to return capital to our shareholders through dividends as well as common share buybacks.
Our third quarter results were highlighted by a strong operating performance across our PNC businesses in Canada and internationally.
In addition, global wealth management experienced strong growth and earnings, especially here in Canada, where earnings increased 20% year over year with acquisitions contributing 12% to this growth.
This strong performance was partially offset by weakness in global banking and markets, which was impacted by market volatility.
And margin compression.
The bank delivered adjusted earnings of two and a half billion dollars an increase of 9% over the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.88 up 7% year over year.
We experienced strong asset and deposit growth across all our business segments, while exhibiting positive operating leverage.
Based on these results, we are increasing our quarterly dividend to shareholders by three cents to 90 cents per share.
This represents an increase of 6% over the prior year.
The integration of our material acquisitions continues to progress very well and we are delivering improved market share higher customer retention rates and strong performance against integration metrics and expected synergies the acquisitions will contribute approximately $250 million of earnings this year.
And over $400 million in 2020, which is better than our previous estimate of 15 cents per share for 2020.
In international banking, our operations in Chile have experienced higher combined market share and improved productivity ratio and strong earnings growth.
The integration of our operations in Chile will be completed at the end of this year.
A number of important milestones were also achieved this quarter.
We were recognized as the industry leader in mobile mobile banking by JD power and we successfully launched or new book mobile banking App here in Canada.
The bank issued its first green bond boosting our commitment to sustainable finance and finally Tangerine benefited from our long term partnership with Maple Leafs Sports and entertainment as the official bank of the 2019 and MBA champions before turning the call over to Raj I would like to remind everybody of our upcoming investor event in Santiago, Chile on October 24th and 20 Fiveth.
We have an excellent program and look forward to successful event.
With that I'll turn the call over to Raj.
Thank you, Brian and good morning, everyone.
I will begin on slide six.
All my comments that follow including the dysfunctional business line results will be on an adjusted basis that excludes acquisition and divestiture related amounts.
The most significant adjustment this quarter relates to the after tax loss on the announced divestiture of Puerto Rico.
A $402 million.
The bank done with $2.5 billion, and accounting and diluted EPS of $1.88 for the quarter up 9% and 7% respectively compared to last year.
Revenue increased 11% from last year automotive, 5%, excluding the impact of acquisitions and IRS 15 with strong growth in both net interest income and non interest revenues.
Net interest income was up 7% driven mostly from the impact of acquisitions.
Also contributing to the increase was growth in cards auto commotion loans and retail deposits in Canadian banking and commercial and retail lending in international banking.
These increases were partially offset by lower contributions from asset liability management activities and the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
The core banking margin was slightly lower one basis point was last year, driven by lower margins in global banking and markets and the impact of a flattening eco on our asset liability management activities compared to last year.
This was partly offset by higher margins in international banking from the change in business mix driven by the acquisitions and in Canadian banking from prior rate increases by the bank of Canada.
Noninterest income grew 16% compared to last year with approximately half of this growth driven by acquisitions.
The remaining growth was driven by.
Impact of the adoption of AI FRS 15.
Expenses were up 11% year over year.
The increase was largely driven by the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by the adoption of higher for us 15.
Excluding the impact of these items expenses rose, 4% year over year due primarily to the banks investments to meet regulatory requirements technology initiatives amortization.
Other employee costs advertising and business development expenses.
The bank's productivity ratio improved 10 basis points to 51.7%.
And achieved positive operating leverage again this quarter.
Excluding the impact of the 2018 pension revaluation benefit the banks year to date operating leverage has improved to negative 1.2%.
The total PCL ratio was 48 basis points, improving by three basis points quarter over quarter, but up eight basis points year over year.
Our PCL ratio on impaired loans was 52 basis points up 11 basis points from last year.
Our tax rate remained in line with our outlook of 21% to 25% through 2019.
On slide seven we provide and the evolution of our seed tier one capital ratio over the last quarter.
The bank reported a common equity tier one ratio of 11.2% approximately 10 basis points.
Strong internal capital generation of 16 basis points was partially offset by increased employee pension and postretirement benefits liability that was impacted by discount rate changes in the quarter and continued share buybacks.
Risk weighted assets were flat quarter over quarter and up a modest 1% compared to last year.
We repurchased 2.8 million common shares during the quarter or 10 million shares on a year to date basis at an average year to date price of $71.66 per share.
Since may 2018, when we closed our first acquisition of Jarislowsky Fraser, the bank has repurchased and canceled 16 million shares.
Including the capital benefit from the announced non core divestitures that have yet to close our pro forma common equity tier one ratio would increase by approximately 50 basis points.
To 11.7%.
We are pleased with the pace of rebuild of our capital driven by strong internal capital generation prudent management of risk weighted asset growth and the divestitures of non core businesses.
Turning now to the business line results beginning on slide eight.
Canadian banking reported adjusted net income of $1.2 billion up 3% year over year.
As disclosed on slide 19, the impact of lower real estate gains reduced the division's earnings growth by approximately 2%.
In retail lending residential mortgages grew 3% personal loans, 3% and credit card 7%.
Meanwhile, business lending grew 10%.
Given the slower start to the housing market in 2019, we expect to finish the year at low single digit volume growth in mortgages deposits grew a strong 10% driven by both personal and non personal deposits and outpaced asset growth.
The net interest margin was up three basis points quarter over quarter and year over year, driven by the impact of prior rate increases by the bank of Canada.
We expect margins to be stable to modestly higher for the balance of the year.
In line with our prior guidance.
Non interest income was up 5% due to higher wealth management fee income from acquisitions and credit fees, partly offset by the impact of higher for 15.
And lower real estate gains.
Canadian wealth management's adjusted earnings increased 20% year over year, driven by strong contributions from recent acquisitions as well as the core businesses.
Hmm growth was strong up 23% year over year with the sequential increase reflecting positive net sales and market appreciation.
Canadian banking delivered positive operating leverage of over 100 basis points through prudent expense management and as we previously committed guided by growth in revenue.
Excluding M&A and the impact of higher for US 15, Canadian Bankings expenses grew a modest 1%.
The productivity ratio improved 50 basis points to 48.3%.
Pcls were higher compared to last year, mainly due to higher retail provisions due to portfolio mix changes. Meanwhile, commercial provisions reported lower recoveries compared to last year.
On a quarter over quarter basis, Pcls were down 5% largely due to improvements in credit quality.
Turning to the next slide on international banking.
Earnings of $815 million were up 14% year over year, driven by strong loan growth in the Pacific Alliance, the impact of acquisitions and higher non interest income.
Our GBM operations in Latin America were also very strong with earnings up 23% year over year, driven by strong growth in our capital markets and corporate banking businesses as well as the impact of acquisitions.
My comments that follow are based on results on an adjusted and constant dollar basis.
Revenue grew 20% with net interest income up a strong 19% and noninterest income growing 23%.
Our Pacific Alliance countries grew revenues by 26% year over year that included the impact of acquisitions.
In the Pacific Alliance deposits grew a strong 4% sequentially and outpaced asset growth.
Margins declined 25 basis points year over year.
Within the plus or minus 10 basis points of 450 basis points that we had previously guided to this was driven by the business make impact of the Chile acquisition that call that closed in Q3, 2018, which is a higher quality lower margin business as well as some margin compression in Mexico, this quarter, reflecting higher cost of funds on deposits in that country.
Noninterest income growth was driven by acquisitions higher banking fees, an increased contribution from associated carbs.
Higher trading revenues and some investment gains.
Approximately three quarters of the expense growth was driven by acquisitions with the remaining growth in line with business William growth.
Higher regulatory costs and the impact of inflation.
Prudent expense management contributed to the productivity ratio improving by 140 basis points year over year.
Operating leverage continued to be strong and positive 3.2% for the quarter.
Moving to slide 10, global banking and markets net income of 374 million was down 15% year over year due to more challenging market conditions, lower client financing activity and higher expenses compared to last year.
GBM Latin America results, which are reported nine traditional banking segment reflected strong double digit year over year growth.
Corporate loan growth was up 12% year over year, reflecting continued growth in the U.S and Canada. In addition, M&A and corporate lending pipelines remained strong.
On the other side of the balance sheet customer deposits are up a very impressive 18%.
Both net interest income and ended gross margin was down year over year. The net interest margin declined by approximately 20 basis points to 1.61%.
The margin compression, primarily resulted from our strong growth in customer deposits and declining market rates.
Noninterest income was stable year over year.
We had a strong quarter in equity trading that was offset by modest underwriting and advisory income growth as last year benefited from a couple of large transactions in the energy and financial space.
Expenses were flat to the seasonally shorter Q2 and in line with the guidance, we provided last quarter.
The year over year increase of 9% was driven by higher regulatory technology and risk infrastructure costs to support our operations and man and manage regulatory and compliance requirements as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
I'll turn now to the other segment on slide 11, which incorporates the results of group Treasury smaller operating units and certain corporate adjustments. The results also include the net loss on divestitures and the net impact of asset liability management activities.
The other segment report reported a smaller loss versus last year.
Due mainly to higher investment gains and lower taxes.
Contributions from asset liability management activities was lower worsens last year.
However sequentially. The other segment reported a lower loss due mainly to higher investment gains and positive contributions from asset liability management activities.
I'll now turn it over to Daniel who will discuss risk management.
Thank you, Rob and I will begin my remarks on slide 13.
Our credit quality is higher.
At our underlying credit performance remains stable.
The evidence of this is as follows.
Stability in our delinquency rates with improvement in our Canadian banking business quarter over quarter.
And across most product categories.
Improving gil ratios across the bank.
And as Brian mentioned this will further improve once you announced divestitures of Puerto Rico and El Salvador are completed.
Stability in our net write off ratios of 50 basis points.
And strong loan loss provision coverage of nine quarters.
So on all bank basis total pcls of $713 million were down slightly from last quarter, but up 32% year over year.
Looking deeper this number roughly two thirds of the year over year increase was due to volume growth and the impact of our acquisitions.
Higher provisions on impaired loans compared to last year were primarily driven by retail provisions that were in line with asset growth as well as the impact of acquisitions.
Provisions on performing loans were a recovery, mostly reflecting improving credit quality this quarter.
As well as more favorable macroeconomic factors across our diversified portfolio compared to last quarter.
The total PCL ratio was 48 basis points.
Improving by three basis points quarter over quarter, but up eight basis points year over year.
Our PCL ratio on impaired loans was 52 basis points, which is up 11 basis points from last year, and just slightly above the historical average of 46 basis points.
These changes reflect the impact of growth in international banking.
So we remain confident.
In our portfolio quality.
And given the underlying credit quality trends, we expect our appeared PCL ratio to remain stable.
Turning now to slide 14, you can see the recent trend in loss ratios for each of our businesses.
And aren't impaired loan basis PCL loss rates are generally in line with last quarter across all three business lines.
The increase in our total PCL ratio was largely driven by Canadian banking due to portfolio mix changes in retail.
As well commercial experienced a lower level of recoveries and finally international Pcls grew in line with organic growth.
Combined with the acquisition driven asset growth, which was primarily in retail.
Looking now at other credit metrics on slide 15.
Gross impaired loans were gils decreased to $5.2 billion from $5.4 billion last quarter.
Now the gross impaired loan ratio is trending down across the bank and improved on a quarter over quarter and on a year over year basis.
As we announced divestitures are completed going forward, we expect sales to remain to improve by a further 10%.
Next we see that net formations of $861 million were flat with last quarter, but up 10% year over year.
The increase compared to the prior quarter prior year relates mostly to increases in our international retail in line with acquisition related portfolio growth.
And finally, turning to our net write off ratio that continues to remain stable with the increase in international banking, reflecting recent acquisitions.
So.
In closing we continue to remain confident in the strong underlying credit quality of our portfolio.
I will now turn the call back over to Brian for closing remarks, Thank you Daniel.
We are pleased with this quarters results, which represent a marked improvement from results earlier in the year.
We delivered strong EPS growth. Our recent acquisitions are contributing ahead of expectations and we made significant progress towards our geographic repositioning while building capital and improving our risk profile.
We are delivering a stronger second half performance in 2019, as I indicated last quarter mindful of the lower interest rate environment and emerging macro economic risks. We are focused on prioritizing our investments span investing effectively and targeting further productivity improvements.
The bank's steadily improving capital position provides us with optionality for capital deployment across our high quality and diversified footprint.
With that I'll now turn the call over to Raj.
Thanks, Brian will now be pleased to take your questions. Please limit yourself to one question and then rejoin the queue to allow everyone the opportunity to participate in the call.
We'll return to make a few closing remarks after the Q and a session.
Operator can we have the first question on the phone please.
Yes, and our first question comes from Steve Terrio with eight capital.
Thanks, very much lots of focus on margins this quarter from last quarter, you talked about the sustainability of that.
4.5% International margin, plus or minus 10 basis points. We're here in Q3 were down to 445.
You broke out some of that impact maybe you could talk a little bit about your outlook to that 450 still hold in terms of a bogey as we start to think about next year and your outlook relative to specific clients and other relevant geographies.
Sure Steve I'll start and then not you'll probably provide some color as well as you know the all bank NIM was down only one basis point because the Canadian banking NIM expansion plays a very big part in the all bank level because of the size of the Canadian Bank doesn't say international banking.
So put it in perspective international Banking's, NIM reduction, which we saw this quarter and down to 445.
The year over year decline actually benefited the bank as a whole simply because of the high margin assets at international banking has in the portfolio mix. So thats supported just in context.
Like I mentioned in my speaking notes stack.
Yes, we had indicated plus or minus 10 basis points to full 50. After we did the Chile acquisition. This time last year.
And it's about five basis points below that full 50, Mark we expected to be in the range, but I 40 pass it on to now turn to provide some more color. Yes. Good morning, we expected to be in that range for 450, plus minus 10, Bips last quarter was a beep sublots these priorities five below.
In this quarter in particular R&D is a lower margin was driven by March some margin compression in Mexico, some business mix, a wholesale growing faster than retail and also a faster growth of other earning assets as we position ourselves well for lower interest rates, but overall I remain confident on this range of 4.5% plus minus 10 basis going forward for International Bank.
And the noise from Mexico. This quarter was that from the terms the higher cost of funds was that just competition or was there something else there.
Well I think there are several things in this quarter first we are comparing a soft quarter in Q3 19 in Mexico with a very strong Q3 18.
Quarter really a record year in Mexico, the last quarter business was strong but also a we had a tax benefit last year. So if you exclude that Mexico is really flat year over year in earnings and Thats driven as you see mostly by margin compression the market overall and the cost of funds in the market has increased around 40, bips doesn't matter of term deposit growing faster than checking and savings account and on in our case on the lending side does it also incorporate.
As short term growing faster than retail also other earning assets growing faster than loans, but we continue to see Mexico, and you'll continue to see opportunities for us in Mexico and for our customers and as you know Mexicos had an 18% ROI operation we have significantly improved with our technology transformation of more than 1000 beeps efficiency improvement also I would say it's important to highlight that Mexico is 6% of the bank earnings and the other three Pacific Alliance countries are growing earnings 18% year over year. So overall these will compensate for a softer Mexico and I remain confident on our medium term target of 9% plus earnings growth growth in earnings for international banking.
Thanks for that color that's helpful.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
We'll hear from Robert Sedran with CBC capital markets.
Hi, Good morning, Brian you mentioned in your prepared remarks that the the renovation is almost finished I guess.
But now that the capital ratio has been rebuilt and it's a couple of years since the big flurry of acquisition activity are you starting to think again about a deepening and adding to the existing footprint, especially in the international banking side or is the focus still more on protecting capital and buying back some shares.
Thank you for the question, Rob I think Quinn, obviously, there's there's a variety of things we can do with capital. We can we'll pay it out in cash dividends, we can repurchase shares weaken.
Build our businesses organically or we can purchase of business and the reality is we've done a mix of all four of these things in the past in terms of.
We're very pleased with our integration in Chile in our wealth integrations as I highlighted in my remarks, those are going very well and delivering above the metrics that we set out for the financial community. So weve repurchased 10 million shares this year and we think our stock is very inexpensive here and in terms of capital going forward. I think you can think of US repurchasing approximately four 4 million shares a quarter and you know our common equity tier one ratio I think that as a management team we are comfortable with at around 11.5% crop.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
Well now hear from Meny Grauman with Cormark Securities.
Hi, Good morning can you just remind us about two would you expect the laws earnings stream from Thailand to be and then how much of that EPS impact do you expect to be offset by buybacks in 2020.
Sure I'll I'll go with that many and see if I can provide some color on restate some of the messages we have had in the past.
So to answer on bank as you know has got a lot of moving parts. We seem to have been subsidiaries, which are yet to be sold and then we have retained interest of 6% in the combined bank.
So with that context Thanachart bank. If you look back on an average contributions between $250 million to $300 million of NIAP for the other we have slightly higher earnings. There is this particularly on 2019 as I mentioned in the previous call. It can be lumpy some of the movements that happened and manage our bank, but I think as a run rate 300 million is probably the right number to use and doctors approximately 11, lower 20 cents on EPS.
As you mentioned some offer does buybacks do contribute to offsetting some of the EPS impact in 2020 will provide a more wholesome update I would suggest in the Investor day on the Q4 call. When we go through but those are probably the numbers you I think you can use looking forward.
Okay, and then just a follow up you talked about.
Acquisitions are expected to contribute $250 million in earnings 19, and then $400 million in 2020 can you just help triangulate that in terms of the previous guidance, especially for 2020, and 15 cents and what's driving the delta here.
What's what's the reason for an increased estimate.
Sure Manny its Raj again I'll go again on that so in our previous guidance, we have provided that all the acquisitions, which as the wells as well as our international acquisitions will be neutral to EPS in 2019 based on the numbers, we have seen for three quarters in what we estimate for Q4, we think it will be a slightly positive contribution to the 2019 EPS roughly about two cents.
And like you pointed out 2020, we had indicated approximately 15 cents to the diluted adjusted EPS, We think it's going to be slightly higher than that a lot of that driven by better performance not necessarily in Chile, which we talk about a lot, but our wealth acquisitions are doing better than we had previously estimated and we'll be able to know models and we did the acquisition.
The acquisition costs are tracking to exactly when we talk at NVS actually couple of million dollars off which is great win and the numbers about $250 million, but it's more the revenue synergies and certainly we talked about Chile for example, how to banks with 7% market share is adding up the greater than 14%. So it's coming through and we are very optimistic about how these acquisitions will contribute to our NIAD in 2020 as well and Thats why we think it's going to be greater than 15 cents.
Thank you.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
Yes, we'll hear from Doug young with Desjardins.
<unk> capital markets.
Hi, just maybe going back Brian to one of the comments you made in your opening remarks, you said repositioning of the geographic footprint is substantially completed can you maybe flush out a little bit more about what else are you thinking on that front.
Well not a whole lot as.
We as I chose my words carefully we are largely done there might be a couple other small properties that are immaterial to the bank.
From a PML standpoint.
But we're very pleased with with what we've accomplished the results.
And it's not just I know that equity analysts are kind of focused on on on last night.
And Thats, obviously important and we're focused on that as well too, but we also think of this from an operational risk standpoint country risk standpoint, geopolitical risk and we've reduced as for the bank significantly so.
And Andrew Roger's comments in my comments, we speak about just Puerto Rico, and El Salvador of door of a sale of those two smaller jurisdictions.
As a reduction of kills of 10% for the overall bank so thats significant.
Operational risk is really important given given our footprint so.
You are not going to see anything else of any consequence anything else. It gets done is it's going to be immaterial.
Or what I would describe as housekeeping, Doug, but we're pleased with our accomplishments and.
The status of our footprint today.
And if I can sneak just one in for not show.
Looks like you mentioned, Peru or is Mexico earnings were down and you gave a description about it looks like Peru was.
And I guess that was growing from an earnings perspective, but not as much as I would have anticipated I don't know if there is some noise and the Peru results that you can kind of unpack as well.
Yes, there is so it will be difficult to see yields a year over year performance of Peru in it.
Basically because we have timing of recoveries between Q2, and three Q3 and acquisition related Pcls, but if you normalize the impact for me, we had a very strong quarter and year over year earnings underlying our double digit growth and you can see that because revenues are growing a 13% year over year and 10% Q over Q operating leverage was positive 1.5%, even when federal cash on an efficiency ratio of 35% and loan growth is comic con came back after too soft years, 3% growth Q over Q, 11% deposit growth. So I'm very confident that through we will continue to grow at double digit comp going forward either specialty because we expect the economy of Peru also to strengthen next year.
Thank you.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
Yes, you'll hear from Gabriel Dechaine with Nash National Bank financial.
Hi, Good morning, just wanted to ask about Canada largely for them. It's been a year were well below the operating leverage I think has been positive for year, but that's really a reflection of.
Negative or slightly negative.
Gross profit a weaker topline.
Im just wondering what your outlook is for the business into one for me how sustainable.
These expense growth rates are and what the plan is to get the top line moving again and I'm looking at it excluding real estate gains in the prior year.
Positive revenue growth.
A little bit on the low side.
Hi, it's Dan here, Thanks, Gabriel for the question.
Our intent is to finish this year fiscal 19 and fiscal 20 with positive operating leverage.
For the full year in this quarter, we were particularly pleased to have met our productivity ratio target to the street to 45% of full year ahead of schedule. As you mentioned expenses were a significant contributor to progress on both of those metrics, which leads me to a few comments about revenue my number one priority in the Canadian Bank is to continue to grow the commercial bank at above average levels IMMU saw good results from us this quarter retail revenue however requires more attention.
In retail we have more opportunity in credit cards and insurance in select areas as well as in small business and you'll see us continue to tilt a little bit further towards deepening relationships with existing customers and redefining the opportunity around the household we have lots of room to grow in terms of product market share gain where we have attractive risk related returns and are always so my outlook for next year is to see higher retail revenue growth and continued to see full year positive operating leverage.
I know are limited and questions here, So I'll just make a housekeeping one the.
Alright for 16 and securitization impact for Raj in Q1.
Yes, sure gave all go with that I think.
The impact to us is expected to be between 15, no higher than 20 basis points and Thats, primarily related to higher for 16 and securitization. We have limited impact on the counterparty credit risk changes that have happened because we are one of the banks, which I don't what we call. The imm auto so they shouldn't be much impact on transition and the capital plans contemplate that in 2020, and we expect to be at the at the levels that Brian mentioned earlier in spite of this which will impact our Q1 ratios.
Got you. Thank you.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
Scott Chen with Canaccord Genuity go ahead. Please.
Hi, Good morning, Brian I, just wanted to go back to the the fiscal 2020 updated earnings adjusted accretion.
Guidance it looks like it's going to more than double the 15 cents can you talked about Chile.
BBB, Chile, being okay, but but but commented on loans being better and im assuming thats kind of driving that very hands and within wealth. What is driving the variance is asset retention net sales or expense efficiencies. Maybe you can just maybe talk a bit through that for us.
So I'll take that Scott, it's Raj and I'll see if I can give you some color about the numbers and holiday workout.
As you know we issued stock again couple of these acquisitions. So when we talk about 15 cents and diluted EPS. They should stop which is approximately 34 million shares plays into the calculation.
The actual if you just look at NIAD contribution of all the acquisitions eight will be double that it'll be over 30 cents for the EPS.
So hypothetically if you had bought it for cash it will be 30 cents EPS contribution in 2017, but we have the stock that we need to consider that we issue that reduces that to the 15 do slightly above 15, we think it will be for next year.
As far as the acquisition contributions the 250 million that Brian referenced in his comments is is higher like I mentioned two cents probably to the 2090 bps in that range and higher than the 15 cents and that's equally distribute it if I look at the well results through a bit of Q3, it's about $75 million of higher contribution which is.
$85 million, we got from the international banking acquisition. So it's kind of tracking along considering the capital that we deployed the split between Walt and.
And the international business and specifically on the vault. It's all the items that you mentioned it is about synergies that we are achieving and Glenn might want to add some color attached to it onetime done but it's also got to do with a growth and the business performing better than what we had force estimated Glenn churn and just add to that so we're seeing good organic growth across across the business. So if we look at the underlying businesses themselves on the distribution side very strong double digit growth in our investment council business or private banking businesses.
On the asset management side, we've had outstanding investment results as well as being in key areas. We're closing in on a a $1 billion in our liquid alternative launch so very strong growth across there and then as mentioned earlier on the on the acquisition side client retention any measure expense revenue synergy all going very well, but I think as we look forward, we've got private banking and a number of the wealth services now it across our footprint in our MD offices as well as jurors Husky Fraser and those are really just building momentum. So we would expect that to continue.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
Yes, we'll hear from Sohrab Movahedi with.
CMO capital markets.
Hi, Thanks, not sure just.
With with the overall volume growth organically and with that we're going to lap the benefit of the BBB, Chile acquisition, but when you just think about what Brian said call, it 3% plus or minus GDP growth.
In the Pacific Alliance region that you you participate in do you think you're going to be able to maintain.
This.
Organic call it high single digit low double digit loan growth.
Ed given that NIM guidance up for 50, plus or minus 10 10 basis points.
Good morning, Sarah and yes, I am I'm quite confident and loan growth in international banking has been quite strong 3% this quarter and it's interesting to even highlight Mexico, which is softer but in terms of lending demand you just say 120 million people in large domestic market. We saw a return to growth at 3% Q over Q and wholesale at 4% Q over Q Daddy's consistent also with what we are seeing in Peru in Chile in Colombia. So overall I am confident that we will be able to continue growing assets in the Pacific Alliance countries had double digit growth going forward.
So im not sure just to be clear you are a top three bank in Chile, or a top three bank improving do you still expect to be able to grow at a healthy rate in those geographies as well as Colombia and Mexico.
Yes, definitely I would say a let me start with Chile as a as Brian mentioned, we have one.
In 20 beeps of combined market share of these new very large back and Dcs the asset growth in the market you said that pace and we expect to leave and we will better than the market and pay to ease back Peru remember the past two years been washed soft to the market was had a hard time to to grow for some quarters now, but it is growing at solid.
A double digit earnings and driven mainly by retail asset growth, but also corporate and commercial lease coming back. So we expect a better year for Peru in 2020 two.
Thank you.
Operator can we have the next question on the phone please.
We will hear from Mario Man Duncan.
With TD Securities.
Good morning.
Brian you've made obviously a lot of big change to the bank and I think you highlighted for us that you're pleased with how it works.
Adjusted the risk profile of the bank and.
When I hear something like that I immediately think of trade offs.
What was the trade off and taking the risk profile of the bank down the way you have over the last years, what have you really given up or do you do obviously, you're pleased the trade up but what do you what do you could give an update do you perceive.
Well I think if you look at thank you for the question Mary If you look if you look at GBM for instance.
The repositioning of that business out of trade finance in Asia.
Changing our business model around the mccotter business. So those took some time in the end they took some effort and refocusing those businesses, but it gives us a better gross profile. If you look at our R.W. eight density over the last year that said approved I think I'm going off the top of my head something like 8% and.
We continue to make strides in that and so as I've said before we're mindful of economic conditions here.
But we havent reached for business and were downturn ready and we are not forecasting a recession by any measure but at some stage of the cycle will will turn.
And.
Wolf will feel good about that.
From the perspective of our risk profile is much cleaner as a bank operational risk is cleaner all those things so in India for go a little bit of net income along the way, but you'll sleep better at night to answer your question and do you feel like you've given up.
Long term growth potential for the bank like a few points as a result of this.
Not at all you know if you go back to my remarks in our annual report four or five years ago.
Outline that we were going to increase our penetration in the PNC businesses in wealth management and Thats up because we don't like the capital markets business, we do but we want the capital markets to deliver more consistency and predictability in terms of not yet and that's exactly what we've done in Chile as a country, we're very comfortable operating in and.
You know that you are seeing that in our accretion numbers are putting these two businesses together, so it's about consistency and predictability and high quality growth and as.
The countries of Colombia, Peru, and Chile are going to grow it.
3% plus next year on any sort of global metric. That's a really good number and that's a good place for us to be and we know how to execute.
And just finally when you look at 2020, there's so many moving parts I am sure you can appreciate the difficulty creates for us.
Looking in is there any.
Anything you can offer us what does 2020 for like a year when earnings EPS growth. There will be there will be EPS growth or should we sort of see it as a transition because there's there's ins and outs and really the growth resumes in 2021.
Well I think in terms of our footprint there will be growth in 2020 Theres. No question about that I think what you're seeing is a divergence globally of the corporate economy in the retail economy. If I can use those words and so corporate spending might come off a bit here, you're seeing that the UK, but the consumer is still strong. So if you cut rates from two to one and three quarters that might not mean, a lot to a corporation, but it does to an individual.
And so the consumer so thats why I made my opening comments, if you look at Canada.
The unemployment rates are at a 40 year low.
Wages are growing at 4%.
Mortgage rates are inexpensive.
On any historic basis fuel prices energy prices are low it's a sweet spot for the consumer and not just here in Canada, and the us you're seeing it and globally. So.
That's why not shows positive about loan growth in the Pacific Alliance countries.
Both on a commercial corporate and retail basis. So.
We're optimistic both the growth profile of this bank.
Okay. Thank you.
