TORONTO, August 25, 2026 — The Bank of Nova Scotia (“Scotiabank”) (TSX: BNS; NYSE: BNS) reported third quarter net income of $2,953 million compared to $2,527 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.27, compared to $1.84 in the same period a year ago.
Adjusted net income(1) for the third quarter was $2,973 million and adjusted diluted EPS(1) was $2.28, up from $1.88 last year. Adjusted return on equity(1) was 14.2% compared to 12.4% a year ago.
“Q3 was a record quarter for the Bank, as all business lines reported strong results and we exceeded our medium-term objectives in the period,” said Scott Thomson, President and CEO of Scotiabank. “In particular, we exceeded our 14% return on equity target this quarter, highlighting the improvements that we have made across the bank to increase margins and fee income. I am proud of our team of Scotiabankers for their many contributions this quarter, and for their continued focus on execution to deliver on our strategy.”
Canadian Banking generated earnings of $1,071 million, up 12% from the prior year, reflecting record revenue supported by a fifth consecutive quarter of margin expansion and strong fee income growth, combined with disciplined expense management, partly offset by higher provision for credit losses. The business delivered its fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage and ROE improved to 19.4%.
International Banking generated earnings of $766 million, up 8% year-over-year, driven by margin expansion and improved credit quality, with positive operating leverage.
Global Wealth Management delivered a record quarter as earnings reached $518 million, up 23% year-over-year, driven by strong revenue growth from higher mutual fund fees, brokerage revenues, and net interest income. The business also continued to generate strong retail mutual fund sales through our branches, while assets under management(2) increased 16% year-over-year to $474 billion.
Global Banking and Markets reported record earnings of $647 million, up 37% year-over-year. Results were driven by strong revenue performance in our capital markets business and record underwriting and advisory fees.
The Bank reported a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio(3) of 13.1% while repurchasing 8.6 million shares in the quarter. For the year to date we have returned $6.3 billion of capital to shareholders through a combination of buybacks and dividends.

Business Segment Review
Canadian Banking
Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025
Net income attributable to equity holders was $1,071 million compared to $958 million, an increase of $113 million or 12%. The increase was driven primarily by higher revenues, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses and provision for credit losses.
Q3 2026 vs Q2 2026
Net income attributable to equity holders was $1,071 million compared to $935 million, an increase of $136 million or 14%. The increase was driven primarily by higher revenues and lower provision for credit losses, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses.

Year-to-date Q3 2026 vs Year-to-date Q3 2025
Net income attributable to equity holders was $2,966 million compared to $2,484 million, an increase of $482 million or 19%. The increase was driven primarily by higher revenues and lower provision for credit losses on performing loans, partly offset by higher non-interest expenses.
International Banking
Q3 2026 vs Q3 2025
Net income attributable to equity holders was $725 million compared to $670 million, an increase of $55 million or 8%.

This was partly offset by lower revenues.
Q3 2026 vs Q2 2026
Net income attributable to equity holders was $725 million compared to $701 million, an increase of $24 million or 3%. The increase was driven primarily by higher net interest income, lower provision for credit losses and the positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Financial Performance on a Constant Dollar Basis
The discussion below on the results of operations is on a constant dollar basis. Under the constant dollar basis, prior period amounts are recalculated using current period average foreign currency rates, which is a non-GAAP financial measure (refer to Non-GAAP Measures starting on page 5). The Bank believes that constant dollar is useful for readers in assessing ongoing business performance without the impact of foreign currency translation and is used by management to assess the performance of the business segment. Ratios are on a reported basis.

Net income attributable to equity holders was $725 million compared to $733 million, a decrease of $8 million or 1%. The decrease was driven primarily by lower revenues. This was partly offset by lower non-interest expenses, lower provision for credit losses and lower income taxes.

The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,018 million compared to $975 million, an increase of $43 million. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 52 basis points, an increase of one basis point. The increase was due primarily to higher provisions in corporate and Canadian retail portfolios.
Scotiabank Third Quarter Press Release 2026 3
Q3 2026 vs Q2 2026
The provision for credit losses was $1,079 million compared to $1,217 million, a decrease of $138 million. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased by 10 basis points to 56 basis points.
The provision for credit losses on performing loans was $61 million compared to $88 million, a decrease of $27 million. The provision this quarter was due primarily to the impact of the unfavourable macroeconomic outlook impacting the corporate and commercial portfolio, as well as portfolio growth in the Canadian Banking and International Banking portfolios.
The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,018 million compared to $1,129 million, a decrease of $111 million. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 52 basis points, a decrease of nine basis points. The decrease was due primarily to lower provisions in the Canadian retail and International corporate portfolios.
Year-to-date Q3 2026 vs Year-to-date Q3 2025
The provision for credit losses was $3,472 million compared to $3,601 million, a decrease of $129 million. The provision for credit losses ratio decreased by two basis points to 61 basis points.
Provision for credit losses on performing loans was $222 million compared to $510 million, a decrease of $288 million. The provision this period was driven by credit migration in the Canadian and International portfolios, as well as retail portfolio growth. This was partly offset by a more favourable macroeconomic outlook impacting the International commercial portfolio. The prior period reflected the impact of the uncertainty related to U.S. tariffs, mainly impacting Canadian Banking.
The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $3,250 million compared to $3,091 million, an increase of $159 million. The provision for credit losses ratio on impaired loans was 57 basis points, an increase of three basis points. The increase in provision this year was due to higher formations in the Canadian Banking and corporate portfolios.
Allowance for credit losses
The total allowance for credit losses as at July 31, 2026 was $7,551 million compared to $7,344 million in the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses ratio was 97 basis points, an increase of one basis point. The allowance for credit losses for loans was $7,329 million compared to $7,150 million in the prior quarter, an increase of $179 million. The impact of foreign currency translation increased the allowance by $117 million.
The allowance for credit losses on performing loans was higher at $4,831 million compared to $4,742 million last quarter. The allowance for performing loans ratio was 65 basis points, an increase of one basis point. The increase was due primarily to the unfavourable macroeconomic outlook impacting the corporate and commercial portfolios, as well as portfolio growth in the Canadian and International Banking portfolios. The impact of foreign currency translation increased the allowance by $60 million.
The allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was higher at $2,498 million compared to $2,408 million last quarter. The allowance for impaired loans ratio was 32 basis points, unchanged from prior quarter. The increase was due primarily to higher provisions in the corporate and International retail portfolio, as well as the impact of foreign currency translation of $57 million.
Impaired loans
Gross impaired loans as at July 31, 2026 were $7,801 million compared to $7,608 million last quarter. The increase was due primarily to the impact of foreign currency translation and new formations in the Canadian Banking and International retail portfolios. The gross impaired loan ratio increased one basis point to 100 basis points.
Net impaired loans in Canadian Banking were $1,950 million, an increase of $90 million from last quarter, due primarily to higher formations and lower allowances in retail. Net impaired loans in International Banking were $3,093 million, an increase of $14 million from the prior quarter, due primarily to retail formations, partly offset by higher commercial allowances. Net impaired loans in Global Banking and Markets were $183 million, a decrease of $4 million from the prior quarter. Net impaired loans in Global Wealth Management were $77 million, an increase of $3 million from the prior quarter. Net impaired loans as a percentage of loans and acceptances were 0.68%, remaining unchanged from the prior quarter.
Capital Ratios
The Bank’s CET1 capital ratio(1) was 13.1% as at July 31, 2026, down 20 basis points from the prior quarter. This decrease reflects RWA increases from business growth and the recall of a synthetic risk transfer securitization, coupled with share repurchases, partly offset by the favourable impact of earnings less dividends.
The Bank’s Tier 1 capital(1) and Total capital ratios(1) were 15.1% and 16.9% respectively, as at July 31, 2026, a decrease of 30 basis points and 10 basis points respectively from the prior quarter.
The Leverage ratio(1) was 4.3% as at July 31, 2026, unchanged from the prior quarter, primarily as higher leverage exposure was offset by higher capital.
As at July 31, 2026, the CET1, Tier 1, Total capital, and Leverage ratios were well above OSFI’s minimum capital ratios. The TLAC(1) and TLAC Leverage ratios(1) were 28.6% and 8.2% respectively, well above OSFI’s minimum requirements.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Bank uses a number of financial measures and ratios to assess its performance, as well as the performance of its operating segments. Some of these financial measures and ratios are presented on a non-GAAP basis and are not calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which are based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), are not defined by GAAP, do not have standardized meanings and therefore might not be comparable to similar financial measures and ratios disclosed by other issuers. The Bank believes that non-GAAP measures and ratios are useful as they provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses performance. These non-GAAP measures and ratios are used throughout this report and defined below.
Adjusted results and diluted earnings per share
The following tables present a reconciliation of GAAP reported financial results to non-GAAP adjusted financial results. Management considers both reported and adjusted results and measures useful in assessing underlying ongoing business performance. Adjusted results and measures remove certain specified items from revenue, non-interest expenses, income taxes and non-controlling interests. Presenting results on both a reported basis and adjusted basis allows readers to assess the impact of certain items on results for the periods presented, and to better assess results and trends excluding those items that may not be reflective of ongoing business performance.

6 Scotiabank Third Quarter Press Release 2026
The Bank’s quarterly financial results were adjusted for the following items. These amounts were recorded in the Other operating segment, unless otherwise noted.
| a) | Divestitures and wind-down of operations |
In Q1 2026, the Bank recognized a loss of $434 million ($377 million after-tax) upon the completion of the sale of its banking operations in Colombia, Costa Rica and Panama. The loss primarily represents the release of cumulative foreign currency translation losses, inclusive of hedges. In the prior fiscal year, the Bank recognized a total impairment loss of $1,422 million in non-interest expense and a credit of $45 million in non-interest income (collectively $1,342 million after-tax), of which $1,362 million ($1,355 million after-tax) was recognized in Q1 2025, as the operations that were a part of this transaction were designated as held for sale. The changes subsequent to Q1 2025 represented changes in the carrying value of net assets being sold and fair value of shares received less costs to sell, as well as changes in foreign currency. For further details, please refer to Note 19 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in the Q3 2026 Quarterly Report to Shareholders.
In Q2 2025, the Bank completed the sale of CrediScotia Financiera S.A. (CrediScotia), a wholly-owned consumer finance subsidiary in Peru, to Banco Santander S.A. (Espana). The Bank recognized an additional loss of $9 million in non-interest income – other upon closing.
| b) | Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets |
These costs relate to the amortization of intangible assets recognized upon the acquisition of businesses, excluding software. The costs are recorded in non-interest expenses – depreciation and amortization for the Canadian Banking, International Banking and Global Wealth Management operating segments, and non-interest income – net income from investments in associated corporations for the Other operating segment.
In addition to the above, the following adjustment also impacted the earnings per share calculation in Q3 2025.
| c) | Foreign currency loss on redemption of Subordinated Additional Tier 1 Capital Note |
In Q3 2025, the Bank redeemed all outstanding U.S. $1,250 million 4.900% Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes (AT1 Note). The redemption resulted in a foreign currency loss of $22 million, which was recognized in retained earnings. The loss was deducted from net income attributable to common shareholders for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS).

Reconciliation of International Banking’s reported and constant dollar results
International Banking business segment results are analyzed on a constant dollar basis which is a non-GAAP measure. Under the constant dollar basis, prior period amounts are recalculated using current period average foreign currency rates. The following table presents the reconciliation between reported and constant dollar results for International Banking for prior periods. The Bank believes that constant dollar is useful for readers to understand business performance without the impact of foreign currency translation and is used by management to assess the performance of the business segment.

Scotiabank Third Quarter Press Release 2026 11
Forward-looking statements
From time to time, our public communications include oral or written forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this document, and may be included in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), or in other communications. 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. Except as required by law, the Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf.
Additional information relating to the Bank, including the Bank’s Annual Information Form, can be located on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca and on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
