TD noted: “Wealth management and insurance net income for the quarter was $555 million, an increase of $1 million, or relatively flat compared with the first quarter last year, reflecting higher revenue, offset by higher insurance service expenses and non-interest expenses. The annualized ROE (return on common equity) for the quarter was 37.5%, compared with 39.1% in the first quarter last year.

“Revenue for the quarter was $3,135 million, an increase of $220 million, or 8%, compared with the first quarter last year. Non-interest income was $2,850 million, an increase of $218 million, or 8%, reflecting higher insurance premiums, and higher fee-based revenue in the wealth management business. Net interest income was $285 million, an increase of $2 million, or 1%, compared with the first quarter last year.”

TD also noted that insurance service expenses for the quarter grew to $1.4 billion following increased claims severity and less favourable prior years’ claims development.
