Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) expects its ownership interest in KeyCorp to contribute approximately CAD $82 million of net income in Q3 2026. This reflects Scotiabank’s share of KeyCorp’s Q2 2026 net income, incorporates acquisition-related and other accounting impacts, is net of associated funding costs, and is recognized on a one-month lag.

After adjusting for the amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately CAD $8 million, Scotiabank estimates an adjusted net income contribution from KeyCorp of approximately CAD $90 million, presented as a non-GAAP measure. Scotiabank plans to release its third quarter financial results and host an earnings conference call on August 25, 2026. The bank reports total assets of approximately $1.5 trillion as at April 30, 2026.

KeyCorp net income contribution approximately CAD $82 million Expected net income contribution to Scotiabank in Q3 2026
Adjusted KeyCorp contribution approximately CAD $90 million Adjusted net income contribution after adding back intangible amortization
Intangible amortization adjustment approximately CAD $8 million Amortization of acquired intangible assets excluded in adjusted contribution
Total assets approximately $1.5 trillion Scotiabank assets as at April 30, 2026
non-GAAP measure financial
"Adjusted results represent a non-GAAP measure."
A non-GAAP measure is a company-crafted financial metric that adjusts or excludes items from standard accounting numbers to highlight what management sees as the business’s core performance. Investors use these figures like a filtered photo to reveal trends or cash flow drivers that raw accounting totals might hide, but because companies decide which items to remove, these measures should be compared with standard statements to avoid being misled.
amortization of acquired intangible assets financial
"Adjusting for the amortization of acquired intangible assets"
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the gradual allocation of the purchase cost of non-physical items a company bought—like patents, brands, customer lists or software—spread over their expected useful life. It matters to investors because this accounting charge reduces reported profits even though it does not use cash at the time, so understanding it helps separate bookkeeping effects from underlying cash performance and valuation.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"From time to time, our public communications include oral or written forward-looking statements."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
safe harbor regulatory
"made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
Safe harbor is a rule that protects companies or individuals from legal trouble if they follow certain guidelines or procedures. It’s like having a safety net that allows them to act without fear of punishment, as long as they stick to the rules. This helps encourage honest behavior and clear standards in financial and legal activities.

FAQ

What is Scotiabank’s (BNS) adjusted net income contribution from KeyCorp?

On an adjusted basis, Scotiabank estimates about CAD $90 million of net income from KeyCorp. This figure adds back approximately CAD $8 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets and is presented as a non-GAAP measure.

When will Scotiabank (BNS) report its third quarter 2026 results?

How large is Scotiabank (BNS) based on its reported assets?

Scotiabank reports total assets of approximately $1.5 trillion as at April 30, 2026. This scale places the bank among the largest in North America by assets, supporting a broad range of personal, commercial, and capital markets activities.

How does Scotiabank (BNS) define adjusted results as a non-GAAP measure?

Scotiabank’s adjusted results are a non-GAAP measure that remove specified items from revenue, non-interest expenses, income taxes and non-controlling interests. Presenting both reported and adjusted figures helps readers assess performance excluding items not reflective of ongoing business operations.

Why is Scotiabank’s (BNS) income from KeyCorp reported on a one-month lag?

The KeyCorp contribution is reported on a one-month lag, so Q3 2026 results include Scotiabank’s share of KeyCorp’s Q2 2026 net income. This timing conforms to how the ownership interest’s earnings are recognized in Scotiabank’s financial results.

In addition, representatives of the Bank may include forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements made in this document, the Management's Discussion and Analysis in the Bank's 2025 Annual Report under the headings "Outlook" and in other statements regarding the Bank's objectives, strategies to achieve those objectives, the regulatory environment in which the Bank operates, anticipated financial results, and the outlook for the Bank's businesses and for the Canadian, U.S. and global economies. Such statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "aim," "achieve," "foresee," "forecast," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "outlook," "seek," "schedule," "plan," "goal," "strive," "target," "project," "commit," "objective," and similar expressions of future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "may," "should," "would," "might," "can" and "could" and positive and negative variations thereof.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which give rise to the possibility that our predictions, forecasts, projections, expectations or conclusions will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not be correct and that our financial performance objectives, vision and strategic goals will not be achieved.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements as a number of risk factors, many of which are beyond our control and effects of which can be difficult to predict, could cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations, targets, estimates or intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements.

The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: general economic and market conditions in the countries in which we operate and globally; changes in currency and interest rates; increased funding costs and market volatility due to market illiquidity and competition for funding; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to the Bank and its affiliates, including relating to the care and control of information, and other risks arising from the Bank's use of third parties; changes in monetary, fiscal, or economic policy and tax legislation and interpretation; changes in laws and regulations or in supervisory expectations or requirements, including capital, interest rate and liquidity requirements and guidance, and the effect of such changes on funding costs; geopolitical risk (including policies and other changes related to, or affecting, economic or trade matters, including tariffs, countermeasures, tariff mitigation policies and tax-related risks); changes to our credit ratings; the possible effects on our business and the global economy of war, conflicts or terrorist actions and unforeseen consequences arising from such actions; technological changes, including open banking and the use of data and artificial intelligence in our business, and technology resiliency; operational and infrastructure risks; reputational risks; the accuracy and completeness of information the Bank receives on customers and counterparties; the timely development and introduction of new products and services, and the extent to which products or services previously sold by the Bank require the Bank to incur liabilities or absorb losses not contemplated at their origination; our ability to execute our strategic plans, including the successful completion of acquisitions and dispositions, including obtaining regulatory approvals; critical accounting estimates and the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations on these estimates; global capital markets activity; the Bank's ability to attract, develop and retain key executives; the evolution of various types of fraud or other criminal behaviour to which the Bank is exposed; anti-money laundering; disruptions or attacks (including cyberattacks) on the Bank's information technology, internet connectivity, network accessibility, or other voice or data communications systems or services, which may result in data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, denial of service and potential incidents of identity theft; increased competition in the geographic and business areas in which we operate, including through internet and mobile banking and non-traditional competitors; exposure related to significant litigation and regulatory matters; environmental, social and governance risks, including climate-related risk, our ability to implement various sustainability-related initiatives (both internally and with our clients and other stakeholders) under expected time frames, and our ability to scale our sustainable-finance products and services; the occurrence of natural and unnatural catastrophic events and claims resulting from such events, including disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or water supply; inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; Canadian housing and household indebtedness; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including their impact on the local, national or global economies, financial market conditions and the Bank's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects; and the Bank's anticipation of and success in managing the risks implied by the foregoing. A substantial amount of the Bank's business involves making loans or otherwise committing resources to specific companies, industries or countries. Unforeseen events affecting such borrowers, industries or countries could have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial results, businesses, financial condition or liquidity. These and other factors may cause the Bank's actual performance to differ materially from that contemplated by forward-looking statements. The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results, for more information, please see the "Risk Management" section of the Bank's 2025 Annual Report, as may be updated by quarterly reports.

Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document are set out in the 2025 Annual Report under the headings "Outlook", as updated by quarterly reports. The "Outlook" and "2026 Priorities" sections are based on the Bank's views and the actual outcome is uncertain. Readers should consider the above-noted factors when reviewing these sections. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Bank and its securities, investors and others should carefully consider the preceding factors, other uncertainties and potential events.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this document represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting the Bank's shareholders and analysts in understanding the Bank's financial position, objectives and priorities, and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
