Commenting on the Bank's financial results for the third quarter of
2014, Réjean Robitaille, President and Chief Executive Officer,
mentioned: "We continued to deliver solid core earnings in the quarter
and maintained our targeted efforts to improve efficiency and maximize
operating leverage. In an environment of slowing consumer loan demand
and compressed margins, our rigorous control over expenses and the
sustained credit quality of the loan portfolio contributed to the good
performance for the quarter."
Mr. Robitaille added: "We maintained our focus on further developing our
higher-margin commercial activities as evidenced by a 16% increase in
our commercial loan portfolio. Looking ahead, we will continue to grow
income from non-interest sensitive sources in order to foster
profitable revenue growth. Within our B2B Bank business segment, with
most cost synergies related to our acquired businesses delivered, our
efforts shift from integration to business development. We remain
committed to unlocking value for our shareholders and we are working
diligently to continuously improve our operations and generate
sustained earnings growth in each of our business segments."

Caution Regarding Forward-looking Statements
In this document and in other documents filed with Canadian regulatory
authorities or in other communications, Laurentian Bank of Canada may
from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements
within the meaning of applicable securities legislation.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding the Bank's business plan and financial objectives. The
forward-looking statements contained in this document are used to
assist the Bank's security holders and financial analysts in obtaining
a better understanding of the Bank's financial position and the results
of operations as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented
and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking
statements typically use the conditional, as well as words such as
prospects, believe, estimate, forecast, project, expect, anticipate,
plan, may, should, could and would, or the negative of these terms,
variations thereof or similar terminology.
By their very nature, forward-looking statements are based on
assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general
and specific in nature. It is therefore possible that the forecasts,
projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved
or will prove to be inaccurate. Although the Bank believes that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove
to have been correct.
The Bank cautions readers against placing undue reliance on
forward-looking statements when making decisions, as the actual results
could differ considerably from the opinions, plans, objectives,
expectations, forecasts, estimates and intentions expressed in such
forward-looking statements due to various material factors. Among other
things, these factors include capital market activity, changes in
government monetary, fiscal and economic policies, changes in interest
rates, inflation levels and general economic conditions, legislative
and regulatory developments, competition, credit ratings, scarcity of
human resources and technological environment. The Bank further
cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. For more
information on the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that would
cause the Bank's actual results to differ from current expectations,
please also refer to the Bank's Annual Report under the title "Risk
Appetite and Risk Management Framework" and other public filings
available at www.sedar.com.
With respect to the anticipated benefits from the acquisition AGF Trust
Company1 (AGF Trust) and the Bank's statements with regards to this transaction
being accretive to earnings, such factors also include, but are not
limited to: the fact that synergies may not be realized in the time
frame anticipated; the ability to promptly and effectively integrate
the businesses; reputational risks and the reaction of B2B Bank's or
AGF Trust's customers to the transaction; and diversion of management
time on acquisition-related issues.
The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements,
whether oral or written, made by itself or on its behalf, except to the
extent required by securities regulations.
________________________________
1 AGF Trust was amalgamated with B2B Bank as of September 1, 2013.

Review of Business Highlights
Personal & Commercial— Business Services continues to generate strong growth. The commercial loan portfolio
increased by 16% year-over-year and commercial mortgages grew by 9%,
excluding the sale of $102 million of commercial mortgage loans in the
second quarter of 2014. The leasing and equipment financing division,
launched only two quarters ago, is seeing an increase in the number of
credit applications and is starting to build a solid pipeline. Business
Services continues to be well positioned as a growth engine for the
Bank. — Retail Services is becoming increasingly focused on the wealth management offer, with
an emphasis on investment products such as deposits and mutual funds.
To accommodate clients' need for more convenient and higher quality
service and to enhance this offer, advisory branch hours were recently
extended. Furthermore, the momentum in Wealth Management continued as
income from mutual fund sales increased by 29% in the third quarter of
2014 compared to a year earlier.
B2B Bankis turning its attention towards business development, now that the
integrations are almost completed. With a contribution from the new
alternative and expanded mortgage solution successfully rolled out at
the end of last quarter, mortgage loans increased by 2% sequentially or
8% on an annualized basis. B2B Bank is well positioned in the mortgage
market, having among the most comprehensive offerings in Canada.
Laurentian Bank Securities' focus on the small cap market is reaping benefits. During the quarter,
underwriting fees related to small cap securities increased
significantly. LBS' broad research coverage, including sectors such as
technology, base metals, industrials and healthcare should help drive
investment banking opportunities.
Supporting all of the Bank's activities is a solid capital base. After
issuing $125 million of preferred shares in the second quarter, the
$110 million Series 10 preferred share issue was redeemed on June 15,
2014. The Bank's proactive capital management aims to optimize capital
for all stakeholders.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
This Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is a narrative
explanation, through the eyes of management, of the Bank's financial
condition as at July 31, 2014, and of how it performed during the
three-month and nine-month periods then ended. This MD&A, dated
August 28, 2014, should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period
ended July 31, 2014, prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Supplemental information on risk management, critical accounting

the Annual Information Form, is available on the Bank's website at www.laurentianbank.ca and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Adoption of the amended IFRS accounting standard on employee benefits
Effective November 1, 2013, the Bank adopted the amendments to the
employee benefits standard under International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS), which required restatement of the Bank's 2013
comparative information and financial measures. Additional information
on the impact of the adoption is available in the notes to the
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and in
the Supplementary Information reported for the third quarter of 2014.
Economic Outlook
North American economic growth accelerated this summer, led by the
United States and despite the escalating geopolitical tensions.
Accordingly, the Federal Reserve should end its accommodative asset
purchase program this fall, gradually sowing the seeds for a modest
increase in its policy rate in the second half of 2015.
While the discrepancy in economic performances between Western Canada
and the rest of the country persists, improving US demand and a lower
currency is gradually benefiting a broader number of sectors. In turn,
Canadian economic activity and hiring are expected to advance at a
slightly faster pace for the remainder of the year and during
2015,which should benefit both personal and commercial lending. As
these conditions materialize, the Bank of Canada may start to increase
its policy rate sometime before the end of 2015. In the housing sector,
homebuilding activity stabilized at a demographic-driven level this
summer, while the resale market appears more balanced, with prices
generally increasing at a slow-to-moderate pace. As interest rates are
expected to remain at historically low levels, all signs point to a
soft landing for the Canadian housing sector.
2014 Financial Performance
The following table presents management's financial objectives for 2014
and the Bank's performance to date. These financial objectives are
based on the assumptions noted on page 21 of the Bank's 2013 Annual
Report under the title "Key assumptions supporting the Bank's
objectives" and exclude adjusting items1.

For the purpose of calculating 2014 financial objectives, year-to-date
growth rates are calculated year-over-year (i.e. current period versus
the corresponding prior year period).
|
Based on the results for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and current
forecasts, management believes that the Bank is in line to meet its
objectives, within the range set out at the beginning of the year. In a
slow revenue growth environment, disciplined management of expenses,
strong credit quality, strategies to increase other income and good
organic growth in the higher-margin commercial businesses were the key
drivers of the Bank's good financial performance since the beginning of
the year.

Adjusting items
The Bank has designated certain amounts as adjusting items and presents
adjusted GAAP results to facilitate understanding of its underlying
business performance and related trends. Adjusting items are included
in the B2B Bank business segment's results. The Bank assesses
performance on a GAAP basis and on an adjusted basis and considers both
to be useful to investors and analysts in obtaining a better
understanding of the Bank's financial results and analyzing its growth
and profit potential more effectively. Adjusted results and measures
are non-GAAP measures. Comments on the uses and limitations of such
measures are disclosed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section
hereafter.

The impact of adjusting items on a per share basis does not add due to
rounding for the three months ended April 30, 2014.
|
Three months ended July 31, 2014 compared with the three months ended
July 31, 2013
Net income was $40.1 million or $1.27 diluted per share for the third
quarter of 2014, compared with $27.0 million or $0.86 diluted per share
for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted net income was $42.4 million
for the third quarter ended July 31, 2014, up from $38.5 million for
the same quarter of 2013, while adjusted diluted earnings per share was
$1.35, compared with $1.27 diluted per share in 2013. Income available
to common shareholders in the third quarter of 2014 included a final
dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 10 redeemed in June 2014, a
regular dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 11 and an initial
partial dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 13 issued in April
2014. As a result, the calculation of diluted earnings per share
included an additional one-time net $1.2 million (or $0.04 per share)
charge for the third quarter of 2014.
Total revenue
Total revenue decreased by $1.4 million or 1% to $219.6 million in the
third quarter of 2014, compared with $221.0 million in the third
quarter of 2013, as lower net interest income year-over-year was partly
offset by growth in other income.
Net interest income decreased by $3.3 million or 2% to $141.2 million for the third quarter
of 2014, from $144.5 million in the third quarter of 2013, mainly due
to the revenue impact of a lower level of high-margin personal loans
and lower prepayment penalties on residential mortgage loans. Overall,
margins decreased to 1.65% in the third quarter of 2014 from 1.68% in
the third quarter of 2013, essentially for the same reasons.
Other income increased by $1.9 million or 2% and amounted to $78.4 million in the
third quarter of 2014, compared with $76.5 million in the third quarter
of 2013. Higher income from brokerage operations driven by improved
activity in the small-cap equity underwriting market, as well as
continued solid mutual fund commissions and lending fees contributed to
the year-over-year increase. These good results were partly offset by
lower income from treasury and financial market operations compared to
the particularly strong performance of treasury activities in the third
quarter of 2013, as well as lower deposit service charges as clients
optimized their use of the Bank's offerings.
Amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments and
revaluation of contingent consideration
For the third quarter of 2014, the amortization of net premium on
purchased financial instruments amounted to $1.5 million, compared with
$1.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Refer to Note 12 to the
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses increased by $1.5 million to $10.5 million
in the third quarter of 2014 from $9.0 million in the third quarter of
2013. Nonetheless, loan losses remained at a low level reflecting the
overall underlying quality of the loan portfolios and the continued
favourable credit environment. Refer to the Risk Management section
below for additional information.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses decreased by $20.7 million to $156.0 million for
the third quarter of 2014, compared with $176.7 million for the third
quarter of 2013. This mostly reflects $13.0 million lower T&I Costs as
integration work at B2B Bank winds down and a 5% decrease in the Bank's
adjusted non-interest expenses through tight cost control, acquisition
synergies and process reviews.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $6.5 million or 7% to $82.9 million for the third quarter
of 2014, compared with the third quarter of 2013, mainly due to lower
headcount from acquisition synergies realized over the last twelve
months, the optimization of certain retail and corporate activities in
the fourth quarter of 2013 and lower employee benefit expenses. Regular
salary increases partly offset the decrease year-over-year.
Premises and technology costs increased by $1.0 million to $45.5 million compared with the
third quarter of 2013. The increase mostly stems from higher technology
costs related to ongoing business growth and enhanced on-line services.
Other non-interest expenses decreased by $2.2 million or 8% to $26.0 million for the third quarter
of 2014, compared with the third quarter of 2013. The decrease mainly
reflects the full impact of cost synergies in B2B Bank as well as the
continued disciplined control over discretionary expenses throughout
the Bank in light of a slower retail loan growth environment.
T&I Costs for the third quarter of 2014 totalled $1.6 million compared with $14.6
million a year ago. During the third quarter of 2014, T&I Costs mainly
related to completing processes and harmonizing products. Integration
of the AGF Trust operations and related T&I Costs are in their final
stage and should be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The adjusted efficiency ratio was 70.3% in the third quarter of 2014,
compared with 73.3% in the third quarter of 2013, as integration
synergies, continued rigorous cost control and efforts to improve
operating costs are bearing fruit. As a result, adjusted operating
leverage was 4.1% in the third quarter of 2014, with quarterly growth
rates calculated versus the third quarter of 2013.
Income taxes
For the quarter ended July 31, 2014, the income tax expense was $11.6
million and the effective tax rate was 22.4%. The lower tax rate,
compared to the statutory rate, mainly resulted from the favourable
effect of holding investments in Canadian securities that generate
non-taxable dividend income and the lower taxation level on revenues
from foreign insurance operations. For the quarter ended July 31, 2013,
the income tax expense was $7.2 million and the effective tax rate
was 21.1%. Year-over-year, the higher effective tax rate for the
quarter ended July 31, 2014 resulted from the relatively higher level
of domestic taxable income.
Nine months ended July 31, 2014 compared with the nine months ended July
31, 2013
Net income was $106.6 million or $3.42 diluted per share for the nine
months ended July 31, 2014, compared with $93.6 million or
$2.99 diluted per share for the nine months ended July 31, 2013.
Adjusted net income was $121.0 million for the nine months ended July
31, 2014, compared with $116.9 million in 2013, while adjusted diluted
earnings per share was $3.92, compared with $3.81 diluted per share in
2013.
Total revenue
Total revenue increased by $2.8 million to $652.6 million in the nine
months ended July 31, 2014, compared with $649.8 million in the nine
months ended July 31, 2013. The year-over-year growth in other income
more than offset a modest decline in net interest income.
Net interest income decreased by $6.5 million to $420.8 million for the nine months ended
July 31, 2014, from $427.3 million in the nine months ended July 31,
2013, mainly reflecting a reduced level of investment loans and lower
prepayment penalties on residential mortgage loans. When compared with
the nine months ended July 31, 2013, margins were unchanged at 1.66%
for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, as a better loan mix offset
slightly compressed margins.
Other income increased by $9.3 million or 4% and amounted to $231.8 million in the
nine months ended July 31, 2014, compared with $222.5 million in the
nine months ended July 31, 2013. Higher lending fees stemming from
increased business activity and loan prepayment penalties in the
commercial portfolio partly contributed to the year-over-year increase.
Solid mutual fund commissions as well as higher income from brokerage
operations and insurance income also contributed to the year-over-year
increase. These strong improvements were partly offset by lower income
from treasury and financial market operations mainly due to lower
income from trading activities in the nine months ended July 31, 2014.
Amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments and
revaluation of contingent consideration
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, the line item "Amortization of
net premium on purchased financial instruments and revaluation of
contingent consideration" amounted to $8.1 million, compared with $3.4
million in the nine months ended July 31, 2013. The higher charge in
2014 essentially results from a $4.1 million non tax-deductible charge
recorded in the second quarter to settle the contingent consideration
related to the AGF Trust acquisition. The amortization of net premium
on purchased financial instruments amounted to $4.0 million in the nine
months ended July 31, 2014, compared with $3.4 million in the nine
months ended July 31, 2013. Refer to Note 12 to the unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements.
Provision for loan losses
The provision for loan losses increased by $5.5 million to $31.5 million
in the nine months ended July 31, 2014 from $26.0 million in the nine
months ended July 31, 2013. While still low, this reflects a partial
return to more normalized overall loan losses from the very low 2013
levels. Refer to the Risk Management section for additional
information.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses decreased by $26.4 million to $475.0 million for
the nine months ended July 31, 2014, compared with $501.4 million for
the nine months ended July 31, 2013. This mainly reflects $18.3 million
lower T&I Costs and a decrease in the Bank's adjusted non-interest
expenses through tight cost control and process reviews as mentioned
above.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $14.7 million or 5% to $252.9 million for the nine months
ended July 31, 2014, compared with the nine months ended July 31, 2013,
mainly due to lower headcount from acquisition synergies realized over
the last twelve months and the optimization of certain retail and
corporate activities in the fourth quarter of 2013, partly offset by
regular salary increases. Lower pension costs and expenses related to
group insurance programs also contributed to the decrease
year-over-year.
Premises and technology costs increased by $11.0 million to $137.0 million for the nine months
ended July 31, 2014. As noted above, the increase mostly stems from
higher technology costs related to ongoing business growth and enhanced
on-line services. Higher amortization expenses related to completed
regulatory IT projects and rental costs also contributed to the
increase.
Other non-interest expenses decreased by $4.4 million to $75.1 million for the nine months ended
July 31, 2014, from $79.5 million for the nine months ended July 31,
2013. As mentioned above, as the bulk of cost synergies related to
acquisitions have materialized, the Bank continued to exercise
disciplined control over discretionary expenses in light of a slower
growth environment.
T&I Costs for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 totalled $10.0 million compared
with $28.3 million a year ago. They mainly related to IT systems
conversion costs, salaries, professional fees, employee relocation
costs and other expenses mostly for the integration of the AGF Trust
operations.
The adjusted efficiency ratio was 71.3% in the nine months ended July
31, 2014, compared with 72.8% in the nine months ended July 31, 2013.
On the same basis, the Bank generated positive operating leverage of
2.1% year-over-year, mainly due to cost synergies related to
acquisitions, continued rigorous cost control and efforts to improve
its operations, as well as higher other income.
Income taxes
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, the income tax expense was
$31.4 million and the effective tax rate was 22.7%. The lower tax rate,
compared to the statutory rate, resulted mainly from the favourable
effect of holding investments in Canadian securities that generate
non-taxable dividend income and the lower taxation level on revenues
from foreign insurance operations. For the nine months ended July 31,
2013, the income tax expense was $25.3 million and the effective tax
rate was 21.3%. Year-over-year, the higher effective tax rate for the
nine months ended July 31, 2014 resulted from the relatively higher
level of domestic taxable income considering a $4.1 million non
tax-deductible charge recorded in the second quarter of 2014 as a
result of the final settlement of the contingent consideration related
to the AGF Trust acquisition.
Three months ended July 31, 2014 compared with the three months ended
April 30, 2014
Net income was $40.1 million or $1.27 diluted per share for the third
quarter of 2014 compared with $31.0 million or $0.99 diluted per share
for the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted net income was $42.4 million
or $1.35 diluted per share, compared with $39.4 million or $1.29
diluted per share for the second quarter of 2014. As noted above, the
calculation of diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2014
included a final dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 10 redeemed in
June 2014, a regular dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 11 and an
initial partial dividend on the Preferred Shares Series 13 issued in
April 2014, which resulted in an additional one-time net $1.2 million
($0.04 diluted per share) charge for the third quarter of 2014.
Total revenue increased to $219.6 million in the third quarter of 2014,
compared with $216.9 million in the previous quarter. Net interest
income increased by $2.5 million sequentially to $141.2 million in the
third quarter of 2014, mainly due to three more days in the third
quarter. This increase was partly offset by lower interest recoveries
resulting from favourable settlements in the commercial loan portfolio
in the second quarter of 2014. Net interest margin decreased
sequentially by 3 basis points to 1.65% in the third quarter of 2014,
compared with 1.68% in the second quarter of 2014, mainly due to the
lower interest recoveries.
Other income increased by $0.2 million sequentially despite a $3.7
million gain on the sale of a $102.4 million commercial mortgage loan
portfolio during the second quarter of 2014. Higher fees and
commissions on loans and card service revenues stemming from increased
business activity, as well as higher income from treasury and financial
market operations mainly contributed to the increase.
The line-item "Amortization of net premium on purchased financial
instruments and revaluation of contingent consideration" amounted to
$1.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $5.5 million
for the last quarter which included the final $4.1 million contingent
consideration charge noted above. Refer to Note 12 to the unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements for additional
information.
The provision for loan losses remained low at $10.5 million for the
third quarter of 2014, unchanged from the second quarter of 2014,
reflecting the continued high quality of the portfolio and the
favourable credit environment. Refer to the Risk Management section for
additional information.
Non-interest expenses amounted to $156.0 million for the third quarter
of 2014, compared with $159.9 million for the second quarter of 2014.
T&I Costs decreased to $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2014,
compared with $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 and adjusted
non-interest expenses decreased by 1% despite three more days in the
third quarter. On the same basis, the Bank generated positive operating
leverage of 2.0% sequentially, as the Bank's continued prudent cost
control efforts are bearing fruit.

Balance sheet assets amounted to $34.3 billion at July 31, 2014, up $0.4
billion or 1% from year-end 2013. Over the last twelve months, balance
sheet assets increased by $0.6 billion.
Liquid assets
Liquid assets, including cash, deposits with other banks, securities and
securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements, totalled $6.4
billion as at July 31, 2014, an increase of $476.3 million or 8%
compared with October 31, 2013. This higher level of liquidity reflects
the successful raising of institutional deposits since the beginning of
the year in a slower loan growth environment as the Bank maintained
diversified funding sources in anticipation of higher growth going
forward. Liquid assets as a percentage of total assets were up
marginally at 19% compared with October 31, 2013. The Bank continues to
prudently manage the level of liquid assets and to hold sufficient cash
resources from various sources in order to meet its current and future
financial obligations, under both normal and stressed conditions.
Loans
Loans and bankers' acceptances, net of allowances, stood at $27.2
billion as at July 31, 2014, up marginally from October 31, 2013. On a
gross basis, continued organic growth in the higher-margin commercial
loan portfolios outpaced the decrease in the investment loan portfolio,
while the residential mortgage loan portfolio remained unchanged since
the beginning of the year. Commercial loans, including bankers'
acceptances, increased by $302.3 million or 11% since October 31, 2013
and 16% over the last 12 months, as the Bank continued to grow this
portfolio and began to reap results from the launch of the new lease
financing offer. Commercial mortgage loans increased by $82.5 million
or 3% since October 31, 2013, despite a $102.4 million loan sale in the
second quarter of 2014, as the Bank maintained its efforts to develop
this portfolio. Personal loans decreased by $329.5 million or 5% since
October 31, 2013, mainly reflecting attrition in the investment loan
portfolio. Residential mortgage loans decreased marginally by $8.7
million from October 31, 2013, mainly due to the effect of a slower
retail loan growth environment in 2014 in Eastern Canada.
Liabilities
Personal deposits stood at $18.8 billion as at July 31, 2014, decreasing
slightly from $19.3 billion as at October 31, 2013. Business and other
deposits increased by $0.8 billion or 17% since October 31, 2013 to
$5.4 billion as at July 31, 2014, mainly explained by new deposits
raised during the third quarter of 2014 as the Bank further diversified
its funding sources. Personal deposits represented 78% of total
deposits as at July 31, 2014, a slight decrease from year-end 2013, as
the Bank saw a reduced level of brokered deposits to the benefit of
more favourably priced institutional deposits. This ratio remains
nonetheless well above the Canadian average and will help to meet
upcoming Basel III liquidity requirements.
Debt related to securitization activities and subordinated debt remained
relatively unchanged compared with October 31, 2013 and stood at $4.8
billion and $0.4 billion respectively as at July 31, 2014.
Shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity stood at $1,516.1 million as at July 31, 2014,
compared with $1,433.6 million as at October 31, 2013. This increase
resulted mainly from the net income contribution for the nine-month
period, net of declared dividends and the net effect of preferred share
transactions detailed below. In addition, the issuance of 304,865 new
common shares under the Shareholder Dividend Reinvestment and Share
Purchase Plan further contributed to the increase in shareholders'
equity. The Bank's book value per common share1 appreciated to $45.10 as at July 31, 2014 from $43.19 as at October 31,
2013. There were 28,837,452 common shares and 20,000 share purchase
options outstanding as at August 20, 2014.
On April 3, 2014, the Bank issued 5,000,000 Basel III-compliant
Non-Cumulative Class A Preferred Shares, Series 13 (the "Preferred
Shares Series 13"), at a price of $25.00 per share for gross proceeds
of $125.0 million, $120.9 million net of issuance costs of $4.1 million
($2.9 million after income taxes), and yielding 4.3% annually. The
Preferred Shares Series 13, which were initially recorded as
liabilities as at April 30, 2014, were reclassified during the third
quarter within shareholders' equity to align with the presentation
retained by the Canadian banking industry and to better meet interested
parties' expectations. Refer to Note 7 to the unaudited condensed
interim consolidated financial statements for additional information.
On June 15, 2014, the Bank repurchased 4,400,000 Non-Cumulative Class A
Preferred Shares, Series 10, yielding 5.3% annually, at a price of $25
per share, for an aggregate amount of $110.0 million.
Capital Management
Regulatory capital
The regulatory capital calculation is determined based on the guidelines
issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions
Canada (OSFI) originating from the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision (BCBS) regulatory risk based capital framework, "Basel III: A global regulatory framework for more resilient banks and
banking systems". Under OSFI's Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline (the CAR
Guideline), transitional requirements for minimum Common Equity Tier 1,
Tier 1 and Total capital ratios were set at 4.0%, 5.5% and 8.0%
respectively for 2014, which, for the Bank, will be fully phased-in to
7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5% by 2019, including the effect of capital
conservation buffers.
In its CAR Guideline, OSFI indicated that it expects deposit-taking
institutions to attain target capital ratios without transition
arrangements equal to or greater than the 2019 minimum capital ratios
plus conservation buffer levels (the "all-in" basis). The "all-in"
basis includes all of the regulatory adjustments that will be required
by 2019, while retaining the phase-out rules of non-qualifying capital
instruments. Refer to page 39 of the Bank's 2013 Annual Report under
the title "Capital Management" for additional information on the Bank's
implementation of Basel III.
In August 2013, OSFI issued a guideline clarifying the application of
the Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA). The CVA capital charge took
effect as of January 1, 2014 and will be phased-in over a five-year
period beginning in 2014. This has not nor is it expected to have a
significant impact on the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank.
In April 2014, OSFI issued a revised CAR guideline, effective
immediately, incorporating a number of clarifications to facilitate the
interpretation of the guidance. The new guideline had no significant
impact on the regulatory capital ratios for the Bank.
As detailed in the table below, on an "all-in" basis, the Common Equity
Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios stood at 7.7%, 9.3% and 12.4%,
respectively, as at July 31, 2014. These ratios meet all current
requirements.

The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio increased to 7.7% as at July 31,
2014 compared with 7.6% as at October 31, 2013. As mentioned
previously, effective November 1, 2013, the Bank adopted an amended
version of IAS 19, Employee Benefits which reduced the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio by approximately
0.2%. This impact was more than offset by internal capital generation
during the nine months ended July 31, 2014, which increased total
equity overall, while risk-weighted assets slightly increased.
On April 3, 2014, the Bank issued 5,000,000 Preferred Shares Series 13
for net proceeds of $120.9 million. These preferred shares fully
qualify as Additional Tier 1 capital under the Basel III capital
adequacy framework and the CAR Guideline as they include mandatory
non-viability contingency capital provisions. These preferred shares
are now classified as equity on the balance sheet.
On June 15, 2014, the Bank redeemed all of its 4,400,000 outstanding
Non-Cumulative Class A Preferred Shares, Series 10 at a redemption
price of $25.00 per share, for an aggregate amount of $110.0 million.
________________________________

Effective November 1, 2013, the Bank has modified its definition of
common shareholders' equity, which is now better aligned with
regulatory requirements. Book value per common share and return on
common shareholders' equity measures for the quarters ended in 2013
have been amended accordingly. Refer to the Non-GAAP financial measures
section for further information.
|
Basel leverage ratio requirement
The Basel III capital reforms introduced a non-risk based leverage ratio
requirement to act as a supplementary measure to the risk-based capital
requirements. The leverage ratio is currently defined as the Tier 1
capital divided by unweighted on-balance sheet assets and off-balance
sheet commitments, derivatives and securities financing transactions,
as defined within the requirements. It differs from OSFI's current
Asset to Capital Multiple (ACM) requirement in that it includes more
off-balance-sheet exposures and a narrower definition of capital (Tier
1 Capital instead of Total Capital).
In January 2014, the BCBS issued the full text of Basel III leverage
ratio framework and disclosure requirements following endorsement by
its governing body. In its leverage ratio requirements draft guideline
issued in July 2014, OSFI indicated that it will replace the ACM with
the new Basel III leverage ratio as of January 1, 2015. OSFI is
expected to issue a final leverage ratio requirements guideline later
this year. Federally regulated deposit-taking institutions will be
expected to have Basel III leverage ratios that exceed 3%.
Dividends
On August 20, 2014, the Board of Directors declared the regular dividend
on the Preferred Shares Series 11 and Preferred Shares Series 13, to
shareholders of record on September 8, 2014. At its meeting on
August 28, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.52
per common share, payable on November 1, 2014, to shareholders of
record on October 1, 2014. These dividends will be recorded in the
fourth quarter of 2014.

Risk Management
The Bank is exposed to various types of risks owing to the nature of its
activities. These risks are mainly related to the use of financial
instruments. In order to manage these risks, controls such as risk
management policies and various risk limits have been implemented.
These measures aim to optimize the risk/return ratio in all operating
segments. Refer to the section "Risk Appetite and Risk Management
Framework" on page 42 of the Bank's 2013 Annual Report for additional
information.

The provision for loan losses amounted to $10.5 million in the third
quarter of 2014, unchanged from the second quarter of 2014 and up $1.5
million compared to the same quarter a year ago. For the nine months
ended July 31, 2014, provisions for loan losses increased by $5.5
million and amounted to $31.5 million compared with $26.0 million for
the same period in 2013. Despite the gradual increase from the 2013
very low levels, the provision for loan losses remains low and reflects
the underlying strong credit quality of the Bank's loan portfolios and
prolonged low interest rates in the Canadian market.
Loan losses on personal loans decreased by $1.2 million compared with
the third quarter of 2013, mainly reflecting lower provisions in the
point-of-sale financing and investment loan portfolios compared to last
year due to the reduced exposure. For the nine months ended July 31,
2014, loan losses on personal loans decreased by $4.2 million,
essentially due to lower losses from the reduced exposure in the
investment and point-of-sale financing loan portfolios. On a sequential
basis, loan losses on personal loans decreased by $3.0 million, mostly
explained by lower losses at B2B Bank in the third quarter of 2014.
Loan losses on residential mortgage loans were down $3.0 million from
the third quarter of 2013, as loan losses in 2013 were impacted by
higher provisions on medium-sized residential real estate properties
and projects. On a sequential basis, loan losses on residential
mortgage loans increased slightly by $0.7 million, in line with growth
in B2B Bank's prime and Alt-A residential mortgage loan portfolio. For
the nine months ended July 31, 2014, loan losses on residential
mortgage loans decreased by $3.7 million year-over-year, essentially
for the same reasons mentioned above.
Loan losses on commercial mortgages and commercial loans cumulatively
amounted to $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2014, a year-over-year
increase of $5.7 million. Notably, loan losses in 2013 were impacted by
a $3.5 million favourable settlement on a single commercial mortgage
loan exposure. On a sequential basis, loan losses in these portfolios
increased by a combined $2.3 million from low second quarter losses
which benefitted from recoveries. For the nine months ended July 31,
2014, loan losses on commercial mortgages and commercial loans totalled
$10.9 million compared with a negative amount of $2.6 million for the
same period in 2013. The year-over-year increase in loan losses mainly
results from growth in the underlying portfolios, as well as from lower
favourable settlements and improvements in 2014 compared with 2013.

Gross impaired loans amounted to $106.0 million as at July 31, 2014, up
from $99.4 million as at October 31, 2013, but slightly down from
$107.3 million as at April 30, 2014. Overall, continued improvement in
the commercial loan portfolios since the beginning of the year was more
than offset by increases in impaired loans in the personal loan
portfolio. Despite the increase, gross impaired loans remain
historically low and borrowers continue to benefit from the favourable
low interest rate environment and business conditions in Canada.
Since the beginning of the year, individual allowances decreased by $6.7
million to $27.6 million mainly explained by favourable settlements on
a limited number of impaired commercial loans. Collective allowances
against impaired loans increased by $4.4 million over the same period,
in-line with the higher impaired loans level. Net impaired loans,
calculated as gross impaired loans less individual allowances and
collective allowances against impaired loans, amounted to $62.0 million
as at July 31, 2014, compared with $53.1 million as at October 31,
2013. At 0.39% of loans and acceptances as at July 31, 2014 and 0.37%
as at October 31, 2013, gross impaired loans continue to be at a low
level.
Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity and funding risk represents the possibility that the Bank may
not be able to gather sufficient cash resources, when required and on
reasonable conditions, to meet its financial obligations. There have
been no material changes to the Bank's liquidity and funding risk
management framework from year-end 2013. The Bank continues to maintain
liquidity and funding that is appropriate for the execution of its
strategy, with liquidity and funding risk remaining well within its
approved limits.
Regulatory developments concerning liquidity
In December 2010, the BCBS issued the regulatory liquidity framework, "Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement,
standards and monitoring", which mainly outlines two new liquidity requirements. This document
prescribes the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding
Ratio (NSFR) as minimum regulatory standards effective January 2015 and
January 2018, respectively. Further updates regarding these new
requirements were also published in 2013 and 2014.
In addition, in January 2014, the BCBS issued its final paper on "Liquidity coverage ratio disclosure standards". Banks are expected to comply with the BCBS LCR disclosure standards
beginning in the first full fiscal quarter of calendar 2015 (expected
to be the second quarter of 2015 for Canadian banks).
In May 2014, OSFI issued a comprehensive domestic Liquidity Adequacy
Requirements Guideline that reflects the aforementioned BCBS liquidity
standards and monitoring tools and formalized the use of the Net
Cumulative Cash Flow (NCCF) supervisory tool. At this stage, it is
still too early to determine their definitive impact on liquidity
management. The Bank is presently developing its liquidity data and
reporting systems to meet the upcoming liquidity requirements. Based on
its preliminary review of the regulatory requirements and prior
analyses, management expects that the Bank will meet the upcoming
standards.
Market risk
Market risk represents the financial losses that the Bank could incur
following unfavourable fluctuations in the value of financial
instruments subsequent to changes in the underlying factors used to
measure them, such as interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices.
This risk is inherent to the Bank's financing, investment, trading and
asset and liability management (ALM) activities.
The purpose of ALM activities is to manage structural interest rate
risk, which corresponds to the potential negative impact of interest
rate movements on the Bank's revenues and economic value. Dynamic
management of structural risk is intended to maximize the Bank's
profitability while protecting the economic value of common
shareholders' equity from sharp interest rate movements. As at July 31,
2014, the effect on the economic value of common shareholders' equity
and on net interest income before taxes of a sudden and sustained 1%
increase in interest rates across the yield curve was as follows.

As shown in the table above, the sensitivity to changes in interest
rates remained low as at July 31, 2014. Management continues to expect
that long term rates will remain within a narrow range for now. These
results reflect efforts to take advantage in the movement of short-term
and long-term interest rates, while maintaining the sensitivity to
these fluctuations within approved risk limits.
Segmented Information
This section outlines the Bank's operations according to its
organizational structure. Services to individuals, businesses,
financial intermediaries and institutional clients are offered through
the following three business segments: Personal & Commercial, B2B Bank,
and Laurentian Bank Securities & Capital Markets. The Bank's other
activities are grouped into the Other sector.
Realignment of reportable segments
Commencing November 1, 2013, the Bank reports its retail and commercial
activities, which were previously reported in the Retail & SME-Québec
and Real Estate & Commercial business segments, in the newly formed
Personal & Commercial segment. The new business segment better reflects
the interdependencies associated with these activities. In addition,
the new segments more closely align the Bank's reporting to the
industry practice. The B2B Bank and Laurentian Bank Securities &
Capital Markets segments are not affected by this realignment.
Furthermore, certain restructurings implemented in the fourth quarter
of 2013 resulted in minor adjustments to segment allocations.
Comparative figures were reclassified to conform to the current
presentation.

The Personal & Commercial business segment's contribution to net income
was $30.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared with $26.1
million in the third quarter of 2013.
Total revenue increased by $1.8 million from $148.7 million in the third
quarter of 2013 to $150.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net
interest income increased by $0.7 million to $99.6 million, reflecting
good volume growth in the higher-margin commercial portfolios, partly
offset by the lower level of prepayment penalties on residential
mortgages. Other income increased by $1.0 million to $50.9 million in
the third quarter of 2014, as higher mutual fund commissions and
lending fees from underwriting activity more than compensated for lower
deposit service charges.
Loan losses increased by $2.3 million from $6.5 million in the third
quarter of 2013 to $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2014. The
higher level of losses compared to a year ago, is mainly due to a $3.5
million favourable settlement on a single exposure recorded in the
corresponding period in 2013, as the overall level of loan losses
remains low.
Non-interest expenses decreased by $5.9 million or 5%, from
$108.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 to $102.4 million in the
third quarter of 2014, mainly due to lower salaries and other expenses
from the optimization of certain retail activities in the fourth
quarter of 2013 and disciplined control over discretionary expenses.
Compared with the second quarter of 2014, net income decreased by
$0.3 million as the impact of three more days in the third quarter was
offset by higher loan losses on commercial mortgage loans and slightly
higher income taxes.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, net income increased 14% to
$88.5 million compared with $77.5 million for the same period a year
ago. This performance was mainly driven by organic growth in the
commercial loan portfolio, up 16% year-over-year, a good increase in
other income and lower non-interest expenses in retail services, partly
offset by higher loan losses. The efficiency ratio was 68.1% for the
nine months ended July 31, 2014, compared with 72.8% for the nine
months ended July 31, 2013. The segment generated positive operating
leverage of 6.7% year-over-year, reflecting the Bank's focus on
rigorous cost control and growth in other income and commercial
businesses.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Bank retroactively adjusted its
corporate expenses allocation methodology. As a result, non-interest
expenses amounting to $1.0 million ($0.7 million net of income taxes)
per quarter in 2013, which were previously reported in the Other
sector, were reclassified to the B2B Bank business segment.
|
[3] |
Integration costs related to the integration of the MRS Companies and
AGF Trust (T&I Costs).
|
[4] |
Refer to the non-GAAP financial measures section.
|
The B2B Bank business segment's contribution to adjusted net income was
$15.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, down $1.5 million from
$16.8 million in the third quarter of 2013. Reported net income in the
third quarter of 2014 was $13.0 million compared with $5.2 million a
year ago.
Total revenue decreased to $53.2 million in the third quarter of 2014
from $57.6 million in the third quarter of 2013. Net interest income
decreased by $3.8 million to $44.4 million in the third quarter of 2014
compared with the corresponding period in 2013. This decrease resulted
from the reduced level of high-margin investment loans as investors
continue to deleverage, as well as margin compression on certain
deposits. Other income amounted to $8.8 million in the third quarter of
2014, down $0.6 million from the third quarter of 2013, mainly impacted
by lower income from self-directed accounts.
As shown above, the line item "Amortization of net premium on purchased
financial instruments and revaluation of contingent consideration"
increased by $0.4 million and amounted to $1.5 million in the third
quarter of 2014 compared with $1.1 million for the third quarter of
2013. For additional information, refer to Note 12 to the unaudited
condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Loan losses decreased by $0.8 million compared with the third quarter of
2013 and amounted to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Lower
provisions in the investment loan portfolios due to the reduced
exposure compared to last year were partly offset by higher provisions
on other personal loans.
Excluding T&I Costs, non-interest expenses decreased by $1.6 million or
5% to $30.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $32.1
million in the third quarter of 2013 mainly reflecting acquisition
synergies. T&I Costs for the third quarter of 2014 decreased by
$13.0 million to $1.6 million and mainly related to completing
processes and harmonizing products. Integration activities are in their
final stage and should be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Compared with the second quarter of 2014, adjusted net income increased
by $1.8 million, mainly resulting from lower loan losses in the third
quarter of 2014 and three additional days of net income. These items,
combined with the favourable impact of lower headcount, the decrease in
T&I Costs and the $4.1 million non tax-deductible charge recorded in
the second quarter to settle the contingent consideration related to
the AGF Trust acquisition, contributed to the $8.0 million increase in
reported net income over the same period.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, adjusted net income was $45.9
million, $0.9 million lower than the same period of 2013, as the items
impacting revenues, as detailed above, were partly compensated by lower
non-interest expenses and loan losses. Reported net income for the nine
months ended July 31, 2014 increased by $8.0 million to $31.6 million,
mainly due to the same factors mentioned above and as a result of lower
T&I Costs year-over-year.

Laurentian Bank Securities & Capital Markets business segment's
contribution to net income increased to $3.0 million in the third
quarter of 2014, compared with $2.3 million in the third quarter of
2013. Total revenue increased by $2.5 million to $18.5 million in the
third quarter of 2014 compared with $16.0 million in the third quarter
of 2013, mainly driven by improved activity in the small-cap equity
underwriting market. Non-interest expenses increased by $1.3 million to
$14.3 million in the third quarter of 2014, mainly due to higher
performance-based compensation, commissions and transaction fees,
in-line with higher market-driven income.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, net income amounted to
$7.9 million, essentially unchanged compared with the same period last
year. Total revenue increased by $2.2 million to $52.2 million in the
nine months ended July 31, 2014, mainly as the business segment
capitalized on growth opportunities in the small-cap equity
underwriting market. Non-interest expenses increased by $2.0 million to
$41.5 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2014, mainly for the
same reasons explained above.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Bank retroactively adjusted its
corporate expenses allocation methodology. As a result, non-interest
expenses amounting to $1.0 million ($0.7 million net of income taxes)
per quarter in 2013, which were previously reported in the Other
sector, were reclassified to the B2B Bank business segment.
|
The Other sector posted a negative contribution to net income of $5.9
million in the third quarter of 2014 compared with a negative
contribution of $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Net interest income remained essentially unchanged at negative $3.3
million in the third quarter of 2014. Other income decreased to
$0.8 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared with $2.0 million
in the third quarter of 2013, which was a stronger quarter in treasury
activities and included higher net security gains. Non-interest
expenses decreased to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2014
compared with $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2013, mainly as a
result of lower unallocated costs.
On a sequential basis, net loss improved by $1.0 million as lower
non-interest expenses more than offset the impact of the $2.5 million
gain on sale of commercial mortgage loans recorded in the second
quarter of 2014.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, the negative contribution to
net income was $21.3 million, compared to negative $15.4 million for
the nine months ended July 31, 2013, mainly explained by non-interest
expenses which increased by $8.3 million compared to 2013. The increase
in non-interest expenses mainly results from unallocated technology
expenses related to new initiatives aimed at improving IT
infrastructure and on-line services.

Accounting Policies
A summary of the Bank's significant accounting policies is presented in
Notes 2 and 3 of the 2013 audited annual consolidated financial
statements. Pages 58 to 61 of the 2013 Annual Report also contain a
discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates which refer to
material amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements or
require management's judgment. The unaudited condensed interim
consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of 2014 have
been prepared in accordance with these accounting policies, except for
accounting changes detailed below.
Accounting changes
Effective November 1, 2013, the Bank adopted new standards and
amendments to existing standards on employee benefits, consolidation,
fair value measurement, and disclosure of offsetting arrangements.
Additional information on the new standards, amendments to existing
standards and new accounting policy can be found in Note 2 to the
unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Future accounting changes
The IASB has issued new standards and amendments to existing standards
on financial instruments, offsetting and revenue from contracts with
customers. These future accounting changes will be applicable for the
Bank in various annual periods beginning on November 1, 2014 at the
earliest. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of
these standards on its financial statements. Additional information on
the new standards and amendments to existing standards can be found in
Note 3 to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial
statements.
Corporate Governance and Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
During the third quarter ended July 31, 2014, there have been no changes
in the Bank's policies or procedures and other processes that comprise
its internal control over financial reporting which have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank's
internal control over financial reporting.
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of Laurentian Bank
reviewed this document prior to its release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Bank uses both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and
certain non-GAAP measures to assess performance. Non-GAAP measures do
not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are unlikely
to be comparable to any similar measures presented by other companies.
These non-GAAP financial measures are considered useful to investors
and analysts in obtaining a better understanding of the Bank's
financial results and analyzing its growth and profit potential more
effectively. The Bank's non-GAAP financial measures are defined as
follows:
Common shareholders' equity
Effective November 1, 2013, the Bank has modified its definition of
common shareholders' equity, as detailed below. All financial measures
for the quarters and for the year ended in 2013 have been amended
accordingly.
The Bank's common shareholders' equity is defined as the sum of the
value of common shares, retained earnings and accumulated other
comprehensive income, excluding cash flow hedge reserves. This
definition is now better aligned with regulatory requirements.
Return on common shareholders' equity
Return on common shareholders' equity is a profitability measure
calculated as the net income available to common shareholders as a
percentage of average common shareholders' equity.
Book value per common share
The Bank's book value per common share is defined as common
shareholders' equity divided by the number of common shares outstanding
at the end of the period.
Net interest margin
Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to total average
assets, expressed as a percentage or basis points.
Efficiency ratio and operating leverage
The Bank uses the efficiency ratio as a measure of its productivity and
cost control. This ratio is defined as non-interest expenses as a
percentage of total revenue. The Bank also uses operating leverage as a
measure of efficiency. Operating leverage is the difference between
total revenue and non-interest expenses growth rates. Quarterly growth
rates are calculated sequentially (i.e. current period versus the
immediately preceding period). Year-to-date growth rates are calculated
year-over-year (i.e. current period versus the corresponding prior year
period).
Dividend payout ratio
The dividend payout ratio is defined as dividends declared on common
shares as a percentage of net income available to common shareholders.
Dividend yield
The dividend yield is defined as dividends declared per common share
divided by the closing common share price.
Adjusted financial measures
Certain analyses presented throughout this document are based on the
Bank's core activities and therefore exclude the effect of certain
amounts designated as adjusting items, as presented in the table in the
Adjusting Items section.
Most of the adjusting items relate to gains and expenses that arise as a
result of acquisitions. The gain on acquisition and ensuing
amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments are
considered adjusting items since they represent, according to
management, significant non-cash adjustments and due to their
non-recurrence. The revaluation of the contingent consideration related
to the AGF Trust acquisition, transaction and integration-related costs
in respect of the MRS Companies and AGF Trust have been designated as
adjusting items due to the significance of the amounts and their
non-recurrence.
