MONTREAL, Dec. 6, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Laurentian Bank of
Canada (the "Bank") reported net income of $50.5 million on an
adjusted basis or $1.47 diluted per share for the fourth quarter of 2016, up 15% and 2% respectively,
compared with $44.1 million or $1.44 diluted per share for the same
period in 2015. Adjusted return on common shareholders' equity was maintained at 12.1% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared
with the fourth quarter of 2015. On a reported basis, net income totalled $18.4 million or
$0.45 diluted per share for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with a net loss of $18.7 million or a loss of $0.73 diluted per share for the same period last year.
On a reported basis, return on common shareholders' equity was 3.7% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with
negative 6.1% for the fourth quarter of 2015. Reported results for the fourth quarter of 2016 and for the fourth quarter of 2015
included adjusting items, including impairment and restructuring charges, as detailed in the Adjusted Financial Measures
section.
For the year ended October 31, 2016, adjusted net income totalled $187.0
million or $5.70 diluted per share, respectively up 9% and 1%, compared with adjusted net
income of $172.2 million or $5.62 diluted per share for the year
ended October 31, 2015. Adjusted return on common shareholders' equity was maintained at 12.0% for
the year ended October 31, 2016, compared with 2015. On a reported basis, net income was $151.9 million or $4.55 diluted per share for the year ended October 31, 2016, compared with $102.5 million or $3.21 diluted per share in 2015. On the same basis, return on common shareholders' equity was 9.6% for the year
ended October 31, 2016, compared with 6.8% in 2015. Reported results for 2016 and 2015 took into
account adjusting items, including impairment and restructuring charges in 2016 and 2015 related to the Retail activities. Refer to
the Adjusted Financial Measures section for further details.
François Desjardins, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the Bank's results and financial condition: "With
respect to our objective to achieve an ROE that is comparable to the average of the Canadian banking industry, our growth, expense
reductions and low loan losses in 2016 allowed us to maintain our adjusted return on equity at 12.0%. This was quite an
achievement, not only because we did this as we strengthened our capital position but also during a period when the average ROE of
Canadian banks is in decline. As stated last year, closing the gap on ROE is how we will measure our performance objective.
Furthermore, I am pleased to announce that the Board has approved an increase in our quarterly common share dividend of
$0.01 to $0.61 per share."
Impairment and restructuring charges for the quarter and year ended October 31, 2016
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Bank announced that it will optimize its retail activities by merging fifty branches over the
next eighteen months as part of its transformation plan. As a result, the value of the assets related to the Retail unit was
reviewed and impairment charges of $22.1 million were recorded in non-interest expenses for the year
ended October 31, 2016. These charges were related to the impairment of software for $16.7 million and of premises and equipment for $5.4 million.
These impairment charges are the result of a combination of factors, including the continued pressure on net interest margins
stemming from the persistent low interest rates and competitive landscape, the change in customers' behaviour driven by significant
changes in technology and lifestyle, the emergence of new competitors, as well as the additional administrative burden associated
with regulatory measures.
These impairment charges do not affect the Bank's operations or its liquidity. The impact of these impairment charges on the
Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was limited to 2 basis points, as software is already deducted from regulatory capital.
At 8.0% as at October 31, 2016, the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio remained well above minimum requirements.
As part of the planned restructuring, provisions related to lease contracts amounting to $11.9
million and severance charges of $4.4 million were also recorded in non-interest expenses.
Impairment of software and premises and equipment as well as restructuring charges are designated as adjusting items. Reported
results for 2015 also included similar impairment and restructuring charges. Refer to the Adjusted financial measures section for
further details.

2016 Performance and Medium-Term Financial Objectives
The Bank's cost control efforts resulted in significant progress in 2016 towards its adjusted efficiency ratio and operating
leverage objectives. Growth in key business areas also remained strong throughout the year, as loans to business customers were up
25% and residential mortgage loans through independent brokers and advisors were up 23% year-over-year.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share growth was 1%, while net income rose by 9%. Adjusted return on common shareholders' equity
was maintained at 12.0% compared with fiscal 2015 notwithstanding tighter margins stemming from the very low interest rate
environment, difficult market conditions early in the year and heightened regulatory requirements. Furthermore, two common share
issuances during the year contributing to the stronger capital position impacted these profitability metrics.
With regards to the distribution of mutual funds to retail clients, growth was hindered by the lower demand resulting from more
volatile markets at the beginning of 2016. As market and economic conditions improve, demand should resume and provide additional
opportunities to increase volumes.
As outlined in the 2015 Annual Report, management will continue to focus on meeting the Bank's strategic objectives to double
its size by 2022 and achieve a return on common shareholders' equity that is comparable to the Canadian banking industry while
building a solid strategic foundation. Given the persisting slow economic growth and competitive environment for Canadian banks,
the return on common shareholders' equity of Canadian financial institutions has declined over the last 18 months. On a
relative basis, the Bank has therefore already narrowed the gap with the industry as it maintained its 12.0% adjusted return on
common shareholders' equity ratio compared to a year ago while strengthening its capital. To better reflect this goal to achieve a
return that is comparable to the Canadian banking industry, it will now be presented as a gap versus an absolute target ratio. The
ultimate objective remains to entirely close the difference by 2022, including the adoption of the Advanced Internal Ratings-Based
approach to credit risk (AIRB approach) in fiscal 2020.
Consolidated Results
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 due to their nature or significance. The Bank presents adjusted results to facilitate
understanding of its underlying business performance and related trends.
The Bank assesses performance on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis and non-GAAP basis and considers both
measures 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 adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures. Comments on the
uses and limitations of such measures are disclosed in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section in the Annual Report.

(1)
|
Impairment and restructuring charges result from the realignment of strategic
priorities of the Bank's retail activities. They are comprised of impairment of goodwill, software and intangible assets,
and premises and equipment, as well as provisions related to lease contracts, severance charges and other impairment
charges related to IT projects. These charges have been designated as adjusting items due to their nature and the
significance of the amounts.
|
|
(2)
|
The retirement compensation charge is related to the adjustment to the
employment contract of a former member of senior management. This charge has been designated as an adjusting item due to
its nature and the significance of the amount.
|
|
(3)
|
Items related to business combinations relate to gains and expenses that
arose as a result of acquisitions.The amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments arose as a result of a
one-time gain on acquisition and is considered an adjusting item since it represents, according to management, a
significant non-cash and non-recurring adjustment. The costs related to business combinations have been designated as
adjusting items due to their nature and the significance of the amounts.
|
|

|
The impact of adjusting items on a per share basis does not add due to
rounding for the year ended October 31, 2015.

Three months ended October 31, 2016 compared with three months ended October 31, 2015
Net income was $18.4 million or $0.45 diluted per share for the
fourth quarter of 2016, compared with a loss of $18.7 million or a loss of $0.73 diluted per share for the fourth quarter of 2015. As detailed below, results for the fourth quarter of
2016 were adversely impacted by impairment and restructuring charges of $38.3 million ($28.1 million after income taxes) or $0.89 diluted per share and results for the
fourth quarter of 2015 included impairment and restructuring charges of $78.4 million ($61.8 million after income taxes) or $2.13 diluted per share. Adjusted net income
was $50.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, up 15% from $44.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, while adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.47, up 2% compared with $1.44 for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Total revenue
Total revenue increased by $4.7 million or 2% to $236.4 million
for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $231.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, driven by growth
in other income.
Net interest income decreased by $1.9 million or 1% to $148.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, from $150.7 million for the fourth
quarter of 2015. The decrease was mainly due to tighter margins stemming from the very low interest rate environment and higher
liquidity levels, partly offset by strong volume growth in the loan portfolios. Net interest margin (as a percentage of average
earning assets) stood at 1.67% for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of 17 basis points compared with the fourth quarter of
2015, due to the persistent pressure on lending rates, the tightening of the Prime-BA spread, the higher proportion of
lower-yielding residential mortgage loans and higher liquid assets held throughout the quarter.
Other income increased by $6.7 million, amounting to $87.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with $81.0 million for
the fourth quarter of 2015. Income from investment accounts in the fourth quarter of 2016 included one-time net revenues of
$3.1 million related to the termination of an agreement for the administration of investment
accounts, as detailed below. Furthermore, the increase of $3.3 million in income from brokerage
operations and the increase of $2.2 million in fees and commissions on loans and deposits were
partly offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in income from treasury and financial markets.
In November 2016, an important client of the Bank internalized the administration of its clients'
accounts and ended its carrying agreement with B2B Bank Dealer Services1. As a result, the Bank recognized in the fourth
quarter of 2016 one-time revenues of $3.1 million in other income, net of impairment charges on
related intangible assets and associated costs.
______________________
|
1:
|
B2B Bank Dealer Services is comprised of three firms: B2B Bank Financial
Services Inc., B2B Bank Securities Services Inc. and B2B Bank Intermediary Services Inc.
|
Amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments
For the fourth quarter of 2016, the amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments amounted to $1.2 million, compared with $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.
Refer to Note 31 in the annual consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses increased to $10.3 million from $9.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. This low level of credit losses continues to reflect the
overall underlying good credit quality of the loan portfolios. Over the medium term, the provision for credit losses could trend
gradually higher as the loan portfolio mix evolves and volumes increase.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses amounted to $202.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of
$40.3 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. Non-interest expenses for the fourth quarter
of 2016 and for the fourth quarter of 2015 were affected by impairment and restructuring charges of $38.3
million and $78.4 million respectively, as noted below. Adjusted non-interest expenses
remained well under control, decreasing by $4.7 million or 3% to $159.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $163.9 million for the
fourth quarter of 2015.
Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $3.3 million or 4% to $82.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, in part due to lower
headcount from the restructuring of certain activities in the fourth quarter of 2015, lower performance-based compensation and
higher capitalized salaries as the Bank is actively working on rebuilding its account management platform. This was partly offset
by regular annual salary increases.
Premises and technology costs decreased by $4.2 million to $46.2 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease mostly stems from the lower amortization
expense resulting from impairment charges on assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 and lower technology costs, as the Bank
is optimizing its technology architecture.
Other non-interest expenses increased by $2.9 million to $30.7 million compared with the fourth quarter of 2015, mainly due to the annual increase in CDIC premiums, as
well as higher professional fees incurred to support the Bank's transformation.
Impairment and restructuring charges amounted to $38.3 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared with $78.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2015.
As mentioned above, the value of the assets related to the Retail unit was reviewed and impairment charges of $22.1 million were recorded for the fourth quarter of 2016. Provisions related to lease contracts amounting to
$11.9 million and severance charges of $4.4 million were also recorded
during the quarter as a result of the announcement of branch mergers. In the fourth quarter of 2015, impairment charges of
$72.2 million and severance charges, provisions related to lease contracts and other impairment
charges related to IT projects for a combined amount of $6.2 million were recorded. Refer to
Note 30 to the annual consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Costs related to business combinations amounted to $4.4 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016 and included acquisition-related costs as well as salaries, professional fees and other expenses for the
integration of CIT Canada operations.
The adjusted efficiency ratio was 67.4% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with 70.8% for the fourth quarter of 2015. The
adjusted operating leverage was positive year-over-year, driven by both revenue growth and expense control.
Income taxes
For the quarter ended October 31, 2016, the income tax expense was $4.5
million and the effective tax rate was 19.7%. 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, as well as the lower
taxation level on revenues from insurance operations, and reflects the lower level of Canadian income given the impairment and
restructuring charges. For the quarter ended October 31, 2015, the income tax recovery was
$2.8 million and the effective tax rate was 13.2%. The lower tax rate, compared to the
statutory rate, was impacted by the same factors as noted above for the fourth quarter of 2016.
Three months ended October 31, 2016 compared with three months ended July 31, 2016
Net income was $18.4 million or $0.45 diluted per share for the
fourth quarter of 2016 compared with net income of $45.1 million or $1.34 diluted per share for the third quarter of 2016. As noted above, results for the fourth quarter of
2016 were adversely impacted by impairment and restructuring charges of $38.3 million ($28.1 million after income taxes) or $0.89 diluted per share. Adjusted net income
was $50.5 million or $1.47 diluted per share for the fourth
quarter of 2016, compared with $46.1 million or $1.37 diluted per
share for the third quarter of 2016.
Total revenue increased by $7.3 million or 3% to $236.4 million for
the fourth quarter of 2016, compared with $229.1 million for the previous quarter, mainly driven by
growth in other income. Net interest income increased by $0.7 million sequentially to
$148.7 million, mainly due to the one-month contribution of CIT Canada's commercial loan
portfolios, partly offset by seasonally lower level of prepayment penalties on residential mortgage loans. The Bank's net interest
margin (as a percentage of average earning assets) decreased by 2 basis points to 1.67% for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared
with 1.69% for the third quarter of 2016. This decrease was mainly driven by the lower level of prepayment penalties mentioned
above.
Other income increased by $6.6 million sequentially to $87.6 million
for the fourth quarter of 2016. As mentioned above, income from investment accounts in the fourth quarter of 2016 included one-time
net revenues of $3.1 million related to the termination of an agreement for the administration
of investment accounts. Furthermore, income from treasury and financial market operations increased by $1.3
million due to higher net securities gains realized during the fourth quarter of 2016. Fees and commissions on loans and
deposits increased by $1.0 million, mainly driven by higher lending fees due to increased activity in
the commercial portfolios.
The line-item "Amortization of net premium on purchased financial instruments" amounted to $1.2
million for the fourth quarter of 2016, down marginally compared with the third quarter of 2016. Refer to Note 31 in the
annual consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Provision for credit losses totalled $10.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016, a $2.1 million increase compared with $8.2 million for the third quarter of
2016. This low level of credit losses reflects the overall underlying good credit quality of the loan portfolios. Over the medium
term, the provision for credit losses could trend gradually higher as the loan portfolio mix evolves and volumes increase.
Non-interest expenses increased to $202.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 from $160.5 million in the third quarter of 2016, mainly due to the $38.3 million
impairment and restructuring charges recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the $4.4 million
of costs related to business combinations incurred for the acquisition and integration of CIT Canada. Adjusted non-interest
expenses amounted to $159.2 million and decreased by 1% compared with the third quarter of 2016, as
the $3.1 million charge for the strategic decision to terminate a technology agreement recorded in
the third quarter of 2016 was partly offset by higher other expenses.
Financial Condition
As at October 31, 2016, the Bank's total assets amounted to $43.0 billion, an 8% increase compared with $39.7 billion as at
October 31, 2015. The increase mainly reflects loan growth of $3.3 billion as
explained below.
Liquid assets
Liquid assets consist of cash, deposits with other banks, securities and securities purchased under reverse repurchase
agreements. As at October 31, 2016, these assets totalled $8.7 billion,
an increase of $0.1 billion compared with $8.6 billion as at
October 31, 2015.
Over the year, the Bank has increased its securitization activities to improve its funding mix and raised broker-sourced
deposits to meet additional liquidity needs, including in part to fund the acquisition of CIT Canada that closed on October 1, 2016. Overall, 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 $33.3 billion as at October 31, 2016, up 11% from October 31, 2015. This increase reflects the acquisition of CIT Canada's
$0.9 billion net commercial loan portfolios as well as the Bank's continued strong organic
growth.
Personal loans amounted to $6.6 billion and decreased by $0.4 billion since October 31, 2015, mainly due to net repayments in the investment loan
portfolio, reflecting expected attrition.
Residential mortgage loans stood at $16.7 billion as at October 31, 2016, an increase of
$1.8 billion or 12% year-over-year. This mainly reflected continued growth in residential mortgage
loans distributed through independent brokers and advisors.
Commercial loans, including acceptances, increased by $1.6 billion or 42% since
October 31, 2015, mainly due to CIT Canada's $0.9 billion net commercial loan portfolios,
as well as by increased volumes from syndication activities. Commercial mortgage loans increased by $0.4
billion or 10% over the same period. When combined, these loans to business customers amounted to $10.0 billion as at October 31, 2016, up 25% year-over-year.
Liabilities
Deposits increased by $1.0 billion or 4% to $27.6 billion as at
October 31, 2016 compared with $26.6 billion as at October 31, 2015. Personal
deposits stood at $21.0 billion as at October 31, 2016, up $1.6
billion compared with October 31, 2015, mainly driven by higher term deposits sourced through independent brokers and
advisors. Business and other deposits decreased by $0.7 billion to $6.6 billion over the same period, mainly reflecting lower institutional deposits. Personal deposits
represented 76% of total deposits as at October 31, 2016, compared with 73% as at October 31, 2015, and contributed to
the Bank's good liquidity position.
Debt related to securitization activities increased by $1.8 billion or 32% compared with
October 31, 2015 and stood at $7.2 billion as at October 31, 2016. During the year, the
Bank continued to optimize this preferred source of term funding for residential mortgages, in light of strong growth in this
portfolio. The Bank also obtained funding of $0.4 billion by securitizing LBC Capital's finance lease
receivables through a multi-seller conduit during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Subordinated debt stood at $199.8 million as at October 31, 2016, compared with
$449.6 million as at October 31, 2015. During the first quarter of 2016, the Bank redeemed all
of its Series 2010-1 subordinated Medium Term Notes maturing in 2020, with an aggregate notional amount of $250.0 million. The subordinated debt is an integral part of the Bank's regulatory capital and affords its
depositors additional protection.
Shareholders' equity and regulatory capital
Shareholders' equity stood at $1,974.8 million as at October 31, 2016, compared with
$1,587.0 million as at October 31, 2015. This $387.8 million
increase is mainly explained by the $155.4 million common share issuance in the fourth quarter of
2016 to support the CIT Canada transaction, the $125.0 million preferred share issuance completed in
the second quarter of 2016 and the $67.5 million common share offering completed during the
first quarter of 2016. The remaining increase is explained by the net income contribution for the year, net of declared dividends.
For additional information, please refer to the annual consolidated statement of changes in shareholders' equity.
The Bank's book value per common share appreciated to $47.92 as at October 31, 2016 from
$46.33 as at October 31, 2015.
The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 8.0% as at October 31, 2016, compared with 7.6% as at October 31,
2015. The increase compared with October 31, 2015 was mainly driven by the $155.4 million common
share issuance that closed in October 2016, the $67.5 million common
share issuance that closed in December 2015 and internal capital generation. This was partly offset
by growth in risk-weighted exposures, including the CIT Canada acquisition, as well as by actuarial losses on pension benefit plans
stemming from the decline of the discount rate and additional deductions to capital for goodwill and intangible assets resulting
from the CIT Canada acquisition.
Overall, the acquisition of CIT Canada, including the effect of the related share issuance completed in October 2016, contributed to improve the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio by 23 basis points.
The impact of impairment charges of $22.1 million ($16.2 million after income taxes) recorded in 2016 on the Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was limited to
2 basis points, as a significant portion of the charge was related to software which was already deducted from regulatory capital.

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 readers 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 prospect, 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 be 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: changes in capital
market conditions, changes in government monetary, fiscal and economic policies, changes in interest rates, inflation levels and
general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory developments, changes in competition, modifications to credit ratings,
scarcity of human resources, as well as developments in the technological environment. Furthermore, these factors include the
ability to execute the Bank's transformation plan and in particular the successful reorganization of retail branches, the
modernization of the core banking system and adoption of the AIRB approach.
With respect to the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of the Canadian equipment financing and corporate financing
activities of CIT Group Inc. ("CIT Canada") and statements with regards to this transaction being accretive to earnings, such
factors also include, but are not limited to: the ability to realize synergies in the anticipated time frame, the ability to
promptly and effectively integrate the businesses, reputational risks and the reaction of the Bank's and CIT Canada's customers to
the transaction, and diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues.
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 "Risk
Appetite and Risk Management Framework" on page 37 of the Bank's Management's Discussion and Analysis as contained in the Bank's
2016 Annual Report, as well as to other public filings available at www.sedar.com.
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.
