Strategic priorities and growth outlook

  • Focus on reigniting the core franchise, optimizing efficiency, and achieving 15%+ ROE as a North Star for 2026 and beyond.

  • Guidance for 12%-15% EPS growth and high single to low double-digit loan growth under management.

  • Revenue growth expected in mid-single digits, with expenses growing at a low single-digit rate to restore positive operating leverage.

  • Commercial lending, especially CMHC-insured multi-family and reverse mortgages, are key growth drivers; single-family uninsured expected to gain momentum in H2.

  • Efficiency ratio targeted to improve to high 40s by late next year, with benefits visible from Q1.

Credit quality and risk management

  • Conservative credit reserve posture established after a detailed loan-by-loan review by new leadership.

  • PCL ratio expected to improve in 2026, with sequential improvement through the year.

  • Equipment finance portfolio shifted toward higher quality, reducing long-haul trucking exposure and improving credit stability.

  • No systemic issues identified in the mortgage portfolio; losses isolated to specific 2022 GTA suburb vintages.

  • Reserve levels increased in Q4, with further improvement anticipated in Q1.

PC Financial acquisition and integration

  • Acquisition of PC Financial to create an omnichannel challenger bank, expanding customer base from 800,000 to 3.5 million.

  • Integration with PC Optimum loyalty program and presence in 2,500 stores, including 180 device pavilions, to drive brand relevance and cross-sell opportunities.

  • Conservative synergy assumptions of CAD 30 million in cost savings; deal expected to exceed 15% ROE hurdle.

  • Cross-sell potential includes deposit products, mortgages, wealth offerings, and insurance, leveraging both customer bases.

  • Physical presence to be expanded judiciously, focusing on advice centers and ATMs in high-traffic locations.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
