Publication Date: Nov -30

📋 Highlights
  • Revenue Growth:: Consolidated revenue rose to $530 million, up 24% YoY and 18% sequentially.
  • Regulatory Impact:: A $143 million provision for U.S. regulatory matters led to a $204 million IFRS loss and $2.04 loss per share.
  • Wealth Management Strength:: Generated $269 million revenue (24% YoY), with client assets hitting record $49 billion (24% YoY).
  • Capital Markets Performance:: Revenue climbed to $253 million (25% YoY), driven by 76% YoY rise in Investment Banking to $91 million.
  • Goodwill Impairment:: $200 million write-down in U.S. Capital Markets due to unmet growth expectations, despite 5% projected business growth.

Segment Performance

The company's Wealth Management division earned revenue of $269 million, a 24% year-over-year increase, driven by a 25% increase in commissions and fees revenue to $211 million. Client assets reached a record $49 billion, a 24% year-over-year increase and a 10% sequential increase. The Canadian wealth business delivered adjusted pretax net income of $18 million, a 54% year-over-year increase. The Capital Markets business reported revenue of $253 million, a 25% year-over-year increase and a 26% sequential increase, driven by a strong performance in Australia.

Valuation and Outlook

With a P/E Ratio of -22.57 and a P/B Ratio of 1.29, the company's valuation is largely driven by its growth prospects. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 13.7%. The company's dividend yield of 2.88% provides a relatively stable return. The sale of the U.S. market making business and the expected improvement in margins in the U.S. business as they pivot to primarily the ECM and advisory business are positive signs. However, the goodwill impairment due to slower performance in the U.S. Capital Markets business is a concern.

Regulatory Provision and Business Reorientation

The company addressed a regulatory provision in the quarter, setting aside sufficient capital, and thus, has no issue with its balance sheet. The $143 million provision for the regulatory matter has already been funded. The company discussed reorienting the business and changing risk exposures, partly related to the divestment of the trading desk. The sale of the International Equities Group is not expected to have a meaningful impact on earnings profile.

Business Growth Opportunities

The company is confident in its ability to enhance firm-wide profit margins and achieve targeted single-digit growth for the current fiscal year, driven by its organic and inorganic growth initiatives. The Australian business is expected to continue its strong performance, driven by mining deals, with domestic accounts being the primary buyers. The company sees opportunities in the Canadian wealth marketplace rationalization and is focused on organic growth through hiring more advisers.
