Also present to take your questions are the following Scotia Bank executives.
Gantries from Canadian banking, Nacho day shop from International banking, Jake Lawrence and James need from global banking and markets and Glenn Gatland from global wealth management.
Following our comments, we'll be glad to take your questions.
Before we start.
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.
Percent, 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 in 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 19 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 by 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 our new 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 thanks.
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 doublet $2.5 billion in Nanning, 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 I applaud 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.
Non interest income grew 16% compared to last year.
Approximately half of this growth driven by acquisitions.
The remaining growth was driven by higher banking wealth management and trading revenues gains on investments and income from associated corporations.
This was partially offset by lower revenues in global banking and markets, primarily from lower underwriting fees.
And the impact of the adoption of IMF RF 15.
Expenses were up 11% year over year.
The increase was largely driven by the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by the adoption of high 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 achieve 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 ultimate goal, 21% to 25% through 2019.
On slide seven we provide Indian evolution of class seat tier one capital ratio over the last quarter.
The bank reported a common equity tier one ratio of 11.2% up approximately 10 basis points.
Strong internal capital generation of 16 basis points was partially offset by increased employee pension and both for diamond 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 admissions earnings growth, we approximately 2%.
In retail lending residential mortgages grew 3% personal loans, 3% and credit card 7%.
Meanwhile, business lending grew 10%.
Given us notice talk 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 prion 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, partially offset by the impact of Biopharma 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, the sequential increase reflecting positive net sales and market appreciation.
Canadian banking delivered positive operating leverage over 100 basis points through a prudent expense management and as we've previously committed guided by growth in revenue.
Excluding M&A and the impact of Bioproducts 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, commotion 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, but 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 up based on results on an adjusted and constant dollar basis.
Revenue grew 20% with net interest income up a strong 19% and non interest 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 CLO 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 and 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 low applied financing activity.
And higher expenses compared to last year.
GBM Latin America results, which are reported nine fashioned 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 interest 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 and the analogy and financial space.
Expenses were flat to the seasonally short to 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 of both reported a smaller loss versus last year, due mainly to higher investment gains and lower taxes.
Contributions from asset liability management activities was low water since 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 will now turn it over to Daniel who will discuss risk management.
Thank you Ross and I will begin my remarks on slide 13.
Our credit quality is high.
And 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 ratio is 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 OPEC 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 peered 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 on 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 experience to 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 the acquisition related portfolio growth.
And finally, turning to our net write off ratio 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 spend.
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 not 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 attempt 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 that first question comes from Steve Curio with eight capital.
Thanks, very much lots of focus on margins this quarter Roger's 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 does that fourfifty still hold in terms of.
As we start to think about next year and your outlook relative to specific clients and other relevant geography.
Sure, Steve I'll start and then not shoulder 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 NIM 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 auto low yielding.
Decline actually benefited the bank as a whole simply because of the high margin assets that international banking has in the portfolio mix. So thats important just in context.
Like I mentioned in my speaking notes back.
Yes, we had indicated plus or minus 10 basis points to full 50 off can be did the JV acquisition. This time last year and its mode five basis points below that full 50, Mark we expected to be in the range, but I 40 pass it on to not to provide some more color.
Hey, good morning, we expected to be in that range for 450, plus minus 10 beeps last quarter was a beep sublots these priorities five below.
In this quarter in particular, our DC 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 these Rachel 4.5%.
Gross minus 10 basis going forward for international banking.
And the noise from Mexico. This quarter was that in terms of 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. We have a very strong Q3 18 require reading a record year in Mexico last quarter Bces 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 agreement as you see mostly by margin compression the market overall the cost of funds in the market has increased our own 40, bips. That's a matter of term deposit growing faster than checking and savings account and in our case on the lending side US also incorporate is short term growing faster than retail also other earning assets growing faster than on loans, but we continued to see Mexico and we've continued to see opportunities for also in Mexico on for our customers and as you know Mexico.
18%, our OEM operation, we have significantly improved with our technology transformation more than 1000 beeps efficiency improvement also I would say some important to highlight that mix equally 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 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 is there's a variety of things we can do with capital we can 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 at our wealth integrations as I highlighted in my remarks, those are going very well and delivering above the metrics that we set up for the financial community. So weve repurchased 10 million shares this year and we think our stock is 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.
Our common equity tier one ratio I think that as a management team we are comfortable with at around 11.5% of 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 lost earnings stream from Thailand to be and then how much of that EPS impact you expect to be offset by buybacks in 2020.
Sure I'll I'll go with that many and feedback and provide some color on restates amongst the messages we have had in the past.
So now turn bank as you know has got a lot of moving parts. We seem to have been subsidies, which are yet to be sold and then we have any interest of 6% in the combined bank so with that context Thanachart bank.
Look back.
On an average contributions between $250 million to $300 million of NIAP.
But 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 with the moments that happened the tenants have bank, but I think as a run rate 300 million is probably the right number to use.
And Dr is approximately a little over 20 cents on EPS as you mentioned some offices buybacks to contribute to offsetting some of the EPS impact in 2020 will provide a more wholesome update I would suggest and the investor day on the Q4 call. When we go through but those are probably the number two I think you can use looking forward.
Okay, and then just a follow up you talked about.
Acquisitions expected to contribute $250 million in earnings 19, and then a 400 million in 2020.
Can you just help triangulate that in terms of the previous guidance, especially for 22015 cents and what's driving the delta here, what's what's the reason for an increase estimate.
Sure Manny its Raj again, I'll go again on that.
So in our previous guidance, we have provided that all of the acquisitions, which is the wealth as well as our international acquisitions will be neutral to the EPS in 2019.
Based on the numbers, we have seen for three quarters in what we estimate for Q4, we think it'll be a slightly positive contribution to the 2019 as roughly about two cents.
And like you pointed out 2020 Wade 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 that suddenly in Chile, which we talk about a lot, but ill acquisitions are doing better than we had previously estimated and located within our models and we did the acquisition. The acquisition costs are tracking to exactly let me talk it will be actually couple of million dollars off which is great and that number is 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 my AD 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 capital markets.
Hi, just maybe going back Brian to you one of the comments you made in your opening remarks, you said repositioning.
The geographic footprint 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 is.
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 PNM standpoint.
But we're very pleased with the with what we've accomplished the results.
And it's not just you know I know that equity analysts are going to focused on on on last night, and that's obviously important and we're focused on that as well too.
But we also think of this from an operational risk standpoint, a country risk standpoint geopolitical risk.
And we have reduced as for the bank significantly so.
And in Russia. His comments in my comments, we speak about just Puerto Rico, and El Salvador door of a sale of those two smaller jurisdictions.
As a reduction of gilts of 10% for the overall pay so that's significant.
Operational risk is really important given given our footprint so.
You're not going to see anything else of any consequence anything else that gets done this is 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 of that looked 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 in the Peru results, but you can kind of unpack as well.
Yes, there is absolutely so it will be difficult to see you have the year over year performance of Peru, and it basically because we have timing of recoveries between Q2 and three Q3.
Acquisition related Pcls, but if you normalize the impact for Moody's had a very strong quarter and year over year earnings underlying our double digit growth and you can see that because revenues are growing at 13% year over year and 10% Q over Q operating leverage was positive 1.5%. Even when you have signed an efficiency ratio of 35% and on loan growth. These companies came back after too soft years, 3% growth Q over Q, 11% deposit growth. So I'm very confident that Peru will continue to grow at double digit comp going forward either specialty because we expect the economy approval 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 cash.
National Bank financial.
Hi, Good morning, just wanted to ask about Canada actually for them.
A year where.
The operating leverage I think have been positive for year, but that's really a reflection of a.
Negative or slightly negative.
Gross profit a weaker top line.
I'm just wondering what your outlook is for the business for me how sustainable these expense growth rates are and what the plan to get the top line moving again and I'm looking at it excluding real estate gain from the prior year positive revenue growth.
A little bit on the loan 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 and you 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 will 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.
Our game, 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 crushing theatre, so I'll just make a housekeeping one the.
For the 16 in the securitization impact for Raj in Q1.
Yes, sure Gevo would that I think.
The impact to us is expected to be between 15, no higher than 20 basis points and Thats, primarily related to life for 16 and securitization we have limited impact on the counterparty credit risk changes that have happened because we are one of the banks weve done on what we call. The imm auto so there shouldn't be much impact on transition.
And the capital plans contemplate that in 2020 and.
We expect to be at that 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 kind of more than double the 15 cents and you talked about Chile.
BBB, Chile, being okay, but but but commented on loans being better.
And then assuming that's kind of driving that Barry and within wealth what is driving the bare hands is asset retention net sales or expense efficiencies. Maybe you can just maybe talk a bit through that process.
So I'll take that Scott, it's Raj and I'll see if I can give you some color about the numbers and how they will call.
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 will be over 30 cents to 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's good news is that to the 52 slightly above 15, we think it will be for next year.
As part of the acquisition contributions the 250 million that Brian referenced in his comments is is higher like I mentioned two cents probably to the 2019 bps in that range and higher than the 15 cents.
And thats equally distribute it if I look at the well results sites through a bit of Q3, it's about $75 million off my AD 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 once and done but it's also got to do with a goal and the business performing better than what we had was estimated Glenn.
And just add to that so we're seeing good organic growth across our profitability. So 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 $1 billion in or 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 dzerzhinsk if rates are 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 BMO 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.
Yes.
Well again I call it high single digit low double digit loan growth.
Yeah.
Given that NIM guidance for 50, plus or minus 10 10 basis points.
Good morning, Sohrab, 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 sold a retailer growth at 3% Q over Q and holds for about 4% Q over Q that east consistent also with what we're seeing in Peru, Chile, and Colombia. So overall I am confident that we will be able to continue growing asset see 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 are the top three bank improving 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 bank and Dcs the asset growth in the market. He said that pace and we expect to believe in the wheel better than the market.
And Peter will ease back Peru remember the past two years been what soft seed the market was had a hard time to to grow for some quarters now could it was growing at solid double digit earnings and driven mainly by retail asset growth, but also corporate and commercial is 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 men Don.
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.
What 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 are 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 them caught a 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's improved 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 haven't reached for a business and were downturn ready and we're not forecasting a recession by any measure but at some stage the cycle will will turn.
And.
We will we will feel good about that.
From the perspective of our risk profile as 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 I outlined that we were going to increase our penetration the PNC businesses in wealth management.
And that's not 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 NIAD 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 of putting these two businesses together, so it's about consistency and predictability.
And and high quality growth and has.
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 it'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.
Yes look again 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 and 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.
So the consumer and 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, 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 about the growth profile of this bank.
Okay. Thank you.
