This quarterly earnings news release should be read in conjunction with
the Bank's unaudited fourth quarter 2014 consolidated financial results
for the year ended October 31, 2014, included in this Earnings News
Release and the audited 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements,
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB), which is available on TD's website at http://www.td.com/investor/. This analysis is dated December 3, 2014. Unless otherwise indicated,
all amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, and have been primarily
derived from the Bank's Annual or Interim Consolidated Financial
Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain comparative
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted
in the current period. Additional information relating to the Bank is
available on the TD's website at http://www.td.com, as well as on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com and on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's SEC website at http://www.sec.gov (EDGAR filers section). The Bank implemented new and amended standards under IFRS (New IFRS Standards and Amendments) which required retrospective application, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As a result, certain comparative amounts have been restated. For more information refer to Note 4 of the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements. Reported results conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the "How the Bank Reports" section of the 2014 Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for an explanation of reported and adjusted results. Effective the first quarter of 2014, the results of the Canadian wealth and insurance businesses are reported in the Canadian Retail segment, and the results of the U.S. wealth business, as well as the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade, are reported in the U.S. Retail segment. Segmented results prior to the first quarter of 2014 have been restated accordingly. As previously announced on December 5, 2013, the Bank's Board of Directors declared a stock dividend of one common share per each issued and outstanding common share on the payment date of January 31, 2014 (Stock Dividend). The effect on the Bank's basic and diluted earnings per share has been presented as if the Stock Dividend was retrospectively applied to all comparative periods presented that occurred prior to the payment date of the Stock Dividend. |

TORONTO, Dec. 4, 2014 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or the "Bank") today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2014. Fourth quarter adjusted earnings of $1.9 billion were up 3% over the same quarter last year, with solid performances from all business segments, partially offset by higher enterprise expenses.
"We are pleased to finish out the year with strong total adjusted earnings of $8.1 billion," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer. "Results for the year reflect good earnings from each of our businesses, driven by organic growth, strong fundamentals, and good results from recent acquisitions."
Canadian Retail
Canadian Retail delivered reported net income of $1.3 billion in the
fourth quarter. On an adjusted basis net income was $1.4 billion,
representing a 7% increase over the same quarter last year. Higher
earnings were driven by good growth in loans, deposits, wealth assets
under management and the addition of Aeroplan.
"A good fourth quarter helped us deliver another great year for Canadian Retail," said Tim Hockey, Group Head, Canadian Banking, Auto Finance and Wealth Management. "In 2015 our focus will continue to be on providing customers with great products and services that enable financial goals and supporting our colleagues in providing legendary customer experiences across all channels."
U.S. Retail
U.S. Retail generated net income of US$462 million, representing
relatively flat earnings on an adjusted basis compared with the fourth
quarter last year. Excluding the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade,
the segment generated net income of US$385 million, as strong organic
growth, good productivity and excellent asset quality were offset by
lower securities gains and margin compression.
TD Ameritrade contributed US$77 million in earnings to the segment, an increase of 5% compared with the fourth quarter last year.
"U.S. Retail continued to outgrow the industry in 2014," said Mike Pedersen, Group Head, U.S. Banking. "Despite a challenging operating and evolving regulatory environment, we had a good overall performance. Our fundamentals are solid going in to 2015, as we focus on deepening customer relationships, evolving our distribution strategy and increasing productivity."
Wholesale Banking
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $160 million, an
increase of 31% compared with the fourth quarter last year, reflecting
strong business fundamentals and a rebound from the fourth quarter of
2013 that included higher non-interest expenses.
"The Wholesale business delivered a solid finish to a great year," said Bob Dorrance, Group Head, Wholesale Banking. "Improved capital markets, good trading results, and a robust performance in investment banking were key drivers of our performance. We remain focused on attracting new clients and expanding existing relationships, and managing risks and productivity in 2015."
Capital
TD's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio on a Basel III fully phased-in
basis was 9.4%, compared with 9.3% last quarter.
Conclusion
"Our 2014 results demonstrate the earnings power and underlying growth
potential across all of our businesses. As we close 2014, I'd like to
thank our 85,000 colleagues here at TD for their relentless dedication
to making the Bank stronger and delivering exceptional customer
service," said Masrani. "As we look ahead to 2015, we expect the
operating environment to be more challenging. We will focus on organic
growth, delivering legendary experiences across every channel, and
increasing productivity while investing for the future."

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements From time to time, the Bank makes written and/or oral forward-looking statements, including in this document, in other filings with Canadian regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and in other communications. In addition, representatives of the Bank may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, including in the Management's Discussion and Analysis ("2014 MD&A") under the heading "Economic Summary and Outlook", for each business segment under headings "Business Outlook and Focus for 2015", and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives and priorities for 2015 and beyond and strategies to achieve them, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "may", and "could". By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties - many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict - may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such differences include: credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, and interest rate), liquidity, operational (including technology), reputational, insurance, strategic, regulatory, legal, environmental, capital adequacy, and other risks. Examples of such risk factors include the general business and economic conditions in the regions in which the Bank operates; the ability of the Bank to execute on key priorities, including to successfully complete acquisitions and strategic plans and to attract, develop and retain key executives; 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; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank or its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information; the impact of new and changes to current laws and regulations; the overall difficult litigation environment, including in the U.S.; increased competition, including through internet and mobile banking; changes to the Bank's credit ratings; changes in currency and interest rates; increased funding costs for credit due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; changes to accounting policies and methods used by the Bank; and the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events. The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results. For more detailed information, please see the "Risk Factors and Management" section of the 2014 MD&A, as may be updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders and news releases (as applicable) related to any transactions discussed under the heading "Significant Events" in the relevant MD&A, which applicable releases may be found on www.td.com. All such factors should be considered carefully, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements, when making decisions with respect to the Bank and the Bank cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the Bank's forward-looking statements. Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2014 MD&A under the headings "Economic Summary and Outlook", and for each business segment, "Business Outlook and Focus for 2015", each as updated in subsequently filed quarterly reports to shareholders. Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank's shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank's financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf, except as required under applicable securities legislation. |

HOW WE PERFORMED
How the Bank Reports
The Bank prepares its Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, the current GAAP, and refers to results prepared in accordance with IFRS as "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes non-GAAP financial measures to arrive at "adjusted" results to assess each of its businesses and to measure the overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted results, the Bank removes "items of note", net of income taxes, from reported results. The items of note relate to items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance. The Bank believes that adjusted results provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. The items of note are disclosed on Table 3. As explained, adjusted results are different from reported results determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted results, items of note, and related terms used in this document are not defined terms under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. The Bank implemented New IFRS Standards and Amendments which required retrospective application, effective the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As a result, certain comparative amounts have been restated. For more information refer to Note 4 of the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements.

5 | Adjusted equity in net income of an investment in associate excludes the following items of note: fourth quarter 2014 - $13 million amortization of intangibles, as explained in footnote 6; third quarter 2014 - $13 million amortization of intangibles; second quarter 2014 - $13 million amortization of intangibles; first quarter 2014 - $14 million amortization of intangibles; fourth quarter 2013 - $13 million amortization of intangibles; third quarter 2013 - $14 million amortization of intangibles; second quarter 2013 - $14 million amortization of intangibles; first quarter 2013 - $13 million amortization of intangibles. |
6 | Amortization of intangibles relate primarily to the TD Banknorth acquisition in 2005 and its privatization in 2007, the acquisitions by TD Banknorth of Hudson United Bancorp in 2006 and Interchange Financial Services in 2007, the Commerce acquisition in 2008, the amortization of intangibles included in equity in net income of TD Ameritrade, the acquisition of the credit card portfolios of MBNA Canada in 2012, the acquisition of Target Corporation's U.S. credit card portfolio in 2013, the Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. acquisition in 2013, and to the acquired Aeroplan credit card portfolio in 2014. Amortization of software is recorded in amortization of intangibles; however, amortization of software is not included for purposes of items of note, which only includes amortization of intangibles acquired as a result of asset acquisitions and business combinations. |
7 | As a result of the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of MBNA Canada, as well as certain other assets and liabilities, the Bank incurred integration charges. Integration charges consist of costs related to information technology, employee retention, external professional consulting charges, marketing (including customer communication and rebranding), integration related travel, employee severance costs, consulting, and training. The Bank's integration charges related to the MBNA acquisition were higher than what were anticipated when the transaction was first announced. The elevated spending was primarily due to additional costs incurred (other than the amounts capitalized) to build out technology platforms for the business. Integration charges related to this acquisition were incurred by the Canadian Retail segment. The fourth quarter of 2014 is the last quarter Canadian Retail included any further MBNA-related integration charges as an item of note. |
8 | During 2008, as a result of deterioration in markets and severe dislocation in the credit market, the Bank changed its trading strategy with respect to certain trading debt securities. Since the Bank no longer intended to actively trade in these debt securities, the Bank reclassified these debt securities from trading to the AFS category effective August 1, 2008. As part of the Bank's trading strategy, these debt securities are economically hedged, primarily with credit default swap and interest rate swap contracts. This includes foreign exchange translation exposure related to the debt securities portfolio and the derivatives hedging it. These derivatives are not eligible for reclassification and are recorded on a fair value basis with changes in fair value recorded in the period's earnings. Management believes that this asymmetry in the accounting treatment between derivatives and the reclassified debt securities results in volatility in earnings from period to period that is not indicative of the economics of the underlying business performance in Wholesale Banking. The Bank may from time to time replace securities within the portfolio to best utilize the initial, matched fixed term funding. As a result, the derivatives are accounted for on an accrual basis in Wholesale Banking and the gains and losses related to the derivatives in excess of the accrued amounts are reported in the Corporate segment. Adjusted results of the Bank exclude the gains and losses of the derivatives in excess of the accrued amount. |
9 | On December 27, 2013, the Bank acquired approximately 50% of the existing Aeroplan credit card portfolio from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and on January 1, 2014, the Bank became the primary issuer of Aeroplan Visa credit cards. The Bank incurred program set-up, conversion, and other one-time costs related to the acquisition of the portfolio and related affinity agreement, consisting of information technology, external professional consulting, marketing, training, and program management, as well as a commercial subsidy payment of $127 million ($94 million after tax) payable to CIBC. These costs are included as an item of note in the Canadian Retail segment. The third quarter of 2014 was the last quarter Canadian Retail included any further set-up, conversion, or other one-time costs related to the acquired Aeroplan credit card portfolio as an item of note. |
10 | In the third quarter of 2013, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $65 million ($48 million after tax) for residential loan losses from Alberta flooding. In the fourth quarter of 2013, a provision of $40 million ($29 million after tax) was released. In the third quarter of 2014, the Bank released the remaining provision of $25 million ($19 million after tax). The release of the remaining provision reflects low levels of delinquency and impairments to date, as well as a low likelihood of future material losses within the portfolio. |
11 | On November 12, 2013, TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, completed the sale of the Bank's institutional services business, known as TD Waterhouse Institutional Services, to a subsidiary of National Bank of Canada. The transaction price was $250 million in cash, subject to certain price adjustment mechanisms which were settled in the third and fourth quarters of 2014. On the transaction date, a gain of $196 million after tax was recorded in the Corporate segment in other income. The gain is not considered to be in the normal course of business for the Bank. |
12 | As a result of certain adverse judgments and settlements in the U.S. in 2012, and after continued evaluation of this portfolio of cases and reassessment of the existing litigation provision throughout fiscal year 2013, the Bank took prudent steps to determine, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, that additional litigation and litigation-related charges of $97 million ($70 million after tax) and $30 million ($30 million after tax) were required as a result of developments and settlements reached in the U.S. in fiscal 2013. |
13 | The Bank undertook certain measures commencing in the fourth quarter of 2013, which continued through fiscal year 2014, to reduce costs in a sustainable manner and achieve greater operational efficiencies. To implement these measures, the Bank recorded a provision of $129 million ($90 million after tax) for restructuring initiatives related primarily to retail branch and real estate optimization initiatives. |

RETURN ON COMMON EQUITY
The Bank's methodology for allocating capital to its business segments is aligned with the common equity capital requirements under Basel III. Beginning November 1, 2013, capital allocated to the business segments is based on 8% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital which includes an additional charge of 1% of risk-weighted assets (RWA) to account for the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI) common equity capital surcharge for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), resulting in a CET1 Capital ratio minimum requirement of 8% effective January 1, 2016. The return measures for business segments reflect a return on common equity methodology.
Adjusted return on common equity (ROE) is adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a percentage of average common equity.
Adjusted ROE is a non-GAAP financial measure as it is not a defined term under IFRS. Readers are cautioned that earnings and other measures adjusted to a basis other than IFRS do not have standardized meanings under IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN 2014
Acquisition of certain CIBC Aeroplan Credit Card Accounts
On December 27, 2013, the Bank, Aimia Inc. (Aimia), and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) closed a transaction under which the Bank acquired approximately 50% of CIBC's existing Aeroplan credit card portfolio, which primarily included accounts held by customers who did not have an existing retail banking relationship with CIBC. The Bank accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition. The results of the acquisition have been recorded in the Canadian Retail segment.
The Bank acquired approximately 540,000 cardholder accounts with an outstanding balance of $3.3 billion at a price of par plus $50 million less certain adjustments for total cash consideration of $3.3 billion. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of credit card receivables acquired was $3.2 billion and the fair value of an intangible asset for the purchased credit card relationships was $146 million.
In connection with the purchase agreement, the Bank agreed to pay CIBC a further $127 million under a commercial subsidy agreement. This payment was recognized as a non-interest expense in 2014.
Disposal of TD Waterhouse Institutional Services
On November 12, 2013, TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of the Bank, completed the sale of the Bank's institutional services business, known as TD Waterhouse Institutional Services, to a subsidiary of National Bank of Canada. The transaction price was $250 million in cash, subject to certain price adjustment mechanisms. A pre-tax gain of $231 million was recorded in the Corporate segment in other income in the first quarter of 2014. An additional pre-tax gain of $13 million was recorded in the Corporate segment subsequently, upon the settlement of price adjustment mechanisms.
HOW OUR BUSINESSES PERFORMED
Effective November 1, 2013, the Bank revised its reportable segments, and for management reporting purposes, reports its results under three key business segments: Canadian Retail, which includes the results of the Canadian personal and commercial banking businesses, Canadian credit cards, TD Auto Finance Canada, and Canadian wealth and insurance businesses; U.S. Retail, which includes the results of the U.S. personal and commercial banking businesses, U.S. credit cards, TD Auto Finance U.S., U.S. wealth business, and the Bank's investment in TD Ameritrade; and Wholesale Banking. The Bank's other activities are grouped into the Corporate segment. The prior period segmented results have been restated accordingly.
Effective December 27, 2013, and January 1, 2014, the results of the acquired Aeroplan credit card portfolio and the results of the related affinity relationship with Aimia Inc. (collectively, "Aeroplan") are reported in the Canadian Retail segment. Effective March 27, 2013, the results of the acquisition of Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (Epoch) are reported in the U.S. Retail segment. Effective March 13, 2013, results of the acquisition of the credit card portfolio of Target Corporation and related program agreement (collectively, "Target") are reported in the U.S. Retail segment.
Results of each business segment reflect revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. The Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on adjusted results, where applicable, and for those segments the Bank indicates that the measure is adjusted. Net income for the operating business segments is presented before any items of note not attributed to the operating segments. For further details, see the "How the Bank Reports" section of this document, the "Business Focus" section in the 2014 MD&A, and Note 31 to the Bank's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 2014. For information concerning the Bank's measure of adjusted return on average common equity, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, see the "How We Performed" section of this document.
Net interest income within Wholesale Banking is calculated on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB), which means that the value of non-taxable or tax-exempt income, including dividends, is adjusted to its equivalent before-tax value. Using TEB allows the Bank to measure income from all securities and loans consistently and makes for a more meaningful comparison of net interest income with similar institutions. The TEB increase to net interest income and provision for income taxes reflected in Wholesale Banking results are reversed in the Corporate segment. The TEB adjustment for the quarter was $76 million, compared with $100 million in the fourth quarter last year, and $131 million in the prior quarter.

Quarterly comparison - Q4 2014 vs. Q4 2013
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter on a reported basis was $1,304 million, an increase of $67 million, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $1,358 million, an increase of $87 million, or 7%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The increase in adjusted earnings was primarily due to good loan and deposit volume growth, the addition of Aeroplan, and higher wealth assets under management, partially offset by higher expenses. The reported annualized return on common equity for the quarter was 40.8%, while the adjusted annualized return on common equity was 42.5%, compared with 43.8% and 45.0%, respectively, in the fourth quarter last year.
Canadian Retail revenue is derived from the Canadian personal and commercial banking businesses, including credit cards, auto finance, wealth and insurance businesses. Revenue for the quarter was $4,920 million, an increase of $323 million, or 7%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Net interest income increased $137 million, or 6%, driven primarily by good loan and deposit volume growth and the addition of Aeroplan. Non-interest income increased $186 million, or 8%, largely driven by wealth asset growth, insurance business growth, good account volume growth, and the addition of Aeroplan. Margin on average earning assets was 2.92%, flat compared with the fourth quarter last year, as the increase due to the addition of Aeroplan was offset by lower deposit margins.
The personal banking business generated good lending volume growth of $13.9 billion, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Average real estate secured lending volume increased $8.2 billion, or 4%. Auto lending average volume increased $1.6 billion, or 11%, while all other personal lending average volumes increased $4.1 billion, or 13%, largely due to the addition of Aeroplan. Business loans and acceptances average volume increased $4.9 billion, or 10%. Average personal deposit volumes increased $3.8 billion, or 2%, due to strong growth in core chequing and savings accounts, partially offset by lower term deposit volume. Average business deposit volumes increased $5 billion, or 7%.
Assets under administration increased $8 billion, or 3%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, as growth from new client assets for the period, market appreciation, and the addition of the remaining interest in NatWest Stockbrokers Limited1, was partially offset by the sale of the TD Waterhouse Institutional Services business. Assets under management increased $25 billion, or 12%, mainly driven by growth from market appreciation and new client assets, compared with the fourth quarter last year.
Provision for credit losses (PCL) for the quarter was $250 million, an increase of $26 million, or 12%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Personal banking PCL was $231 million, an increase of $8 million, or 4%, due to the addition of Aeroplan, partially offset by better credit performance and lower bankruptcies in other personal banking businesses. Business banking PCL was $19 million, an increase of $18 million, primarily due to higher provisions in the current quarter. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.30%, an increase of 3 basis points (bps), compared with the fourth quarter last year. Net impaired loans were $834 million, a decrease of $48 million, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.25%, compared with 0.28% as at October 31, 2013.
Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter were $720 million, an increase of $9 million, or 1%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to an increase in severe weather-related events, and business growth partially offset by more favourable prior year claims development.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,224 million, an increase of $192 million, or 9%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter were $2,151 million, an increase of $165 million, or 8%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher employee-related costs including higher revenue-based variable compensation in the wealth business, initiatives to grow the business, and the addition of Aeroplan, partially offset by initiatives to increase productivity.
The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter worsened to 45.2%, while the adjusted efficiency ratio worsened to 43.7%, compared with 44.2% and 43.2%, respectively, in the fourth quarter last year.
Quarterly comparison - Q4 2014 vs. Q3 2014
Canadian Retail net income for the quarter on a reported basis decreased $96 million, or 7%, compared with the prior quarter. Adjusted net income for the quarter decreased $85 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to an increase in non-interest expenses, partially offset by lower insurance claims compared with the prior quarter. The reported annualized return on common equity for the quarter was 40.8%, while the adjusted annualized return on common equity was 42.5%, compared with 43.4% and 44.7%, respectively, in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter decreased $14 million, flat with the prior quarter. Net interest income was flat, as the increase from volume growth was more than offset by margin compression, compared with the prior quarter. Non-interest income decreased $13 million, or 1%, primarily due to lower insurance premiums, partially offset by higher wealth asset-based revenue. Margin on average earning assets was 2.92%, a 6 bps decrease compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to a decline in deposit margins due to low rate environment, competitive pricing, and seasonally lower mortgage renewal revenue.
The personal banking business generated average lending volume growth of $5.4 billion, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter. Average real estate secured lending volume increased $4.2 billion, or 2%. Auto lending average volume increased $0.8 billion, or 5%, while all other personal lending average volumes increased $0.4 billion, or 1%. Business loans and acceptances average volume increased $1 billion, or 2%. Average personal deposit volumes increased $1.9 billion, or 1%, due to growth in core chequing and savings accounts, partially offset by lower term deposit volume. Average business deposit volumes increased $2.4 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter.
Assets under administration increased $8 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to the addition of the remaining interest in NatWest Stockbrokers Limited1. Assets under management were flat compared with the prior quarter.
PCL for the quarter increased $22 million, or 10%, compared with the prior quarter. Personal banking PCL increased $15 million or 7%, primarily due to higher provisions in credit cards. Business banking PCL increased $7 million, due to higher provisions in the commercial business. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume was 0.30%, an increase of 3 bps, compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans decreased $4 million, flat compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.25%, in line with the prior quarter.
Insurance claims and related expenses for the quarter decreased $51 million, or 7%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to lower current year claims partially offset by an increase in severe weather-related events.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $148 million, or 7%, compared with the prior quarter. Adjusted non-interest expenses for the quarter increased $133 million, or 7%, compared with the prior quarter due to higher employee-related costs, investments to grow the business, and higher seasonal marketing expenses.
The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter worsened to 45.2%, while the adjusted efficiency ratio worsened to 43.7%, compared with 42.1% and 40.9%, respectively, in the prior quarter.

Quarterly comparison - Q4 2014 vs. Q4 2013
U.S. Retail reported and adjusted net income for the quarter was $509 million (US$462 million), which included net income of $426 million (US$385 million) from the U.S. Retail Bank and $83 million (US$77 million) from TD's investment in TD Ameritrade. Canadian dollar earnings growth benefited from a strengthening of the U.S. dollar. The annualized reported and adjusted return on common equity for the quarter was 7.6%, down slightly from 7.9% on a reported basis and 8.4% on an adjusted basis for the fourth quarter last year.
U.S. Retail reported earnings of US$385 million were up 8% compared with the fourth quarter last year. U.S. Retail adjusted earnings were relatively flat as compared with the fourth quarter last year primarily due to lower provisions for credit losses offset by a higher tax rate. The contribution from TD Ameritrade of US$77 million was up 5% compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to increased asset-based and transaction-based revenue, partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower investment gains.
U.S. Retail revenue is derived from personal banking, business banking, investments, auto lending, credit cards, and wealth management. Revenue for the quarter was US$1,851 million, a decrease of US$45 million, or 2%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to lower accretion. Margin on average earning assets was 3.65%, a 24 bps decrease compared with the fourth quarter last year. Other non-interest income decreased due to lower gains on sales of securities and debt securities classified as loans. Average loan volumes increased US$9 billion, or 8%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, due to growth in business loans of 14% and growth in personal loans of 3%. Average deposit volumes increased US$10 billion, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, driven by 7% growth in business deposit volume, 6% growth in personal deposit volume, and 3% growth in TD Ameritrade deposit volume.
PCL for the quarter was US$125 million, a decrease of US$52 million, or 29%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to improved credit quality and lower net charge-offs. Personal banking PCL was US$117 million, a decrease of US$58 million, or 33%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to improved credit quality for auto loans. Business banking PCL was US$28 million, an increase of US$3 million. Annualized PCL as a percentage of credit volume for loans excluding debt securities classified as loans was 0.50%, a decrease of 27 bps, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and debt securities classified as loans, were US$1.2 billion, a decrease of US$64 million, or 5%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.1% as at October 31, 2014, compared with 1.3% at October 31, 2013. Net impaired debt securities classified as loans were US$919 million, a decrease of US$66 million, or 7%, compared with the fourth quarter last year.
Reported non-interest expenses for the quarter were US$1,249 million, a decrease of US$48 million, or 4%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. On an adjusted basis, non-interest expenses were US$1,249 million, a decrease of US$20 million, or 2%, compared with the fourth quarter last year, primarily due to strong expense control, permanent expense reductions, and lower expenses related to Target, partially offset by higher personnel related costs to support growth.
The reported efficiency ratio for the quarter improved to 67.5%, compared with 68.4% last year, while the adjusted efficiency ratio for the year was 67.5%, compared with 67.0% last year.
Quarterly comparison - Q4 2014 vs. Q3 2014
U.S. Retail reported and adjusted net income for the quarter decreased $52 million (US$56 million) compared with the prior quarter, which included a decrease in net income of $59 million (US$64 million) from the U.S. Retail Bank and an increase of $7 million (US$8 million) from TD's investment in TD Ameritrade. The annualized return on common equity for the quarter was 7.6%, compared with 9.0% in the prior quarter.
U.S. Retail earnings decreased primarily due to continued margin compression and lower accretion, coupled with increases in provisions for credit losses and non-interest expenses. The contribution from TD Ameritrade of US$77 million was up 12% compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to increased asset-based and transaction-based revenue.
Revenue for the quarter decreased US$40 million compared with the prior quarter primarily due to lower accretion and lower other gains and losses. Margin on average earning assets was 3.65%, an 11 bps decrease compared with the prior quarter. Average loan volumes increased US$3 billion, or 3%, compared with the prior quarter, due to growth in business loans of 4% and growth in personal loans of 2%. Average deposit volumes increased US$5 billion, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter, driven by 4% growth in business deposit volume and 3% growth in TD Ameritrade deposit volume, while personal deposits remained relatively flat.
PCL for the quarter increased US$7 million, or 6%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to higher provision on loans, partially offset by lower provisions for debt securities. Personal banking PCL was US$117 million, a decrease of US$9 million, or 7%, from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower provisions on credit cards, partially offset by increased provisions on home equity loans, auto loans, and other retail products. Business banking PCL was US$28 million compared to a recovery of US$10 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to net commercial recoveries in the prior quarter not recurring in the current quarter. The recovery of provision for debt securities classified as loans reflects lower expected losses on non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations. Annualized adjusted PCL as a percentage of credit volume for loans excluding debt securities classified as loans was 0.50%, an increase of 9 bps, compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans, excluding acquired credit-impaired loans and debt securities classified as loans, were US$1.2 billion, an increase of US$57 million, or 5%, compared with the prior quarter. Net impaired loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.1% as at October 31, 2014, flat compared with prior quarter. Net impaired debt securities classified as loans decreased US$2 million, compared with the prior quarter.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter increased US$29 million, or 2%, compared with the prior quarter, primarily due to the timing of project and personnel related costs.
The efficiency ratio for the quarter was 67.5%, compared with 64.5% in the prior quarter.

3 | In the first quarter of 2014, the Bank conformed to a standardized definition of full-time equivalent staff across all segments.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, the Bank implemented a funding valuation adjustment (FVA) in response to growing evidence that market implied funding costs and benefits are now considered in the pricing and fair valuation of uncollateralized derivatives. The implementation of FVA resulted in a pre-tax additional charge of $65 million recorded in the Wholesale segment. The Bank will continue to monitor industry practice, and may refine the methodology and the products to which FVA applies to as market practices evolve. See Note 5 to the Bank's 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on FVA.
Quarterly comparison - Q4 2014 vs. Q4 2013
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter was $160 million, an increase of $38 million, or 31%, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The increase in earnings was primarily due to lower non-interest expenses. The annualized return on common equity for the quarter was 13.0%, compared with 12.1% in the fourth quarter last year.
Wholesale Banking revenue is derived primarily from capital markets services and corporate lending. The capital markets businesses generate revenue from advisory, underwriting, trading, facilitation, and trade execution services. Revenue for the quarter was $604 million, relatively flat compared with the fourth quarter last year. Higher equity underwriting volumes, advisory fees and lending growth, which benefited from solid client activity in the quarter, was partially offset by lower trading-related revenue due to a charge related to FVA.
PCL for the quarter was a net recovery of $1 million, as the accrual cost of credit protection was largely offset by a recovery of a previously recorded provision in the investment portfolio. PCL for the fourth quarter last year was $5 million and consisted primarily of the accrual cost of credit protection.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter were $381 million, a decrease of $42 million, or 10%, compared to the fourth quarter last year. The decrease is primarily due to expenses related to the settlement of a commercial dispute included in the fourth quarter last year, partially offset by higher variable compensation commensurate with revenue.
CET1 risk-weighted assets were $61 billion as at October 31, 2014, an increase of $14 billion, or 30%, compared with October 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA) capital charge.
Quarterly comparison - Q4 2014 vs. Q3 2014
Wholesale Banking net income for the quarter decreased $56 million, or 26%, compared with the prior quarter. The decrease was largely due to lower revenue, partially offset by lower non-interest expenses. The annualized return on common equity for the quarter was 13.0%, compared with 18.4% in the prior quarter.
Revenue for the quarter decreased $76 million, or 11%, compared with the prior quarter. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a charge related to FVA and lower underwriting and advisory fees.
PCL for the quarter was a net recovery of $1 million, compared with a charge of $5 million in the prior quarter, which was primarily related to the accrual cost of credit protection.
Non-interest expenses for the quarter decreased $11 million, or 3%, primarily due to lower variable compensation commensurate with revenue.
CET1 risk-weighted assets were $61 billion as at October 31, 2014, an increase of $4 billion, or 7%, compared with July 31, 2014.
