Scotiabank’s Financial Highlights

Loading...

Scotiabank’s net income has had its ups and downs, especially in the past few years. In its best quarters, Scotiabank brought in net income of around $2.7 billion - these peak earnings came during strong periods in 2022. However, there have also been tougher times, like in 2020, when net income dropped to about $1.3 billion during the pandemic, and more recently, in late 2024 and early 2025, a dip in reported net income was observed.

Like Canada’s other big banks, Scotiabank’s primary revenue driver has been net interest income, consistently accounting for about 55% to 60% of total revenue. This income stream, which comes from the difference between what the bank earns on loans and what it pays on deposits, has shown strong growth over the period, increasing by 65% in the 10-year period from Q2 2015 to Q2 2025, starting at $3.2 billion in Q2 2015 and reaching $5.3 billion by Q2 2025.

Non-interest income, which includes fees, trading revenue, and other service charges, has represented around 40% to 45% of total revenue. This revenue stream has grown by 39% from Q2 2015 to Q2 2025. Starting at $2.7 billion in Q2 2015, it has fluctuated over the years and settled at $3.8 billion by Q2 2025. The bank saw peaks in non-interest income during 2019-2020, when it occasionally exceeded $3.7 billion per quarter, but has since moderated to a more stable level. However, a spike was observed in Q1 2025.

Total revenue has grown 53% over the same period, rising from $5.9 billion in Q2 2025 to $9.1 billion by Q2 2025.

Recent years have shown a more moderate pace of asset growth, with total assets stabilizing around the $1.4 trillion mark.

Provision for Credit Losses (PCL) represents a bank's forward-looking estimate of potential credit losses. PCL peaked dramatically during the pandemic at $2,181 million in Q3 2020, reflecting the significant uncertainty at that time. Since then, PCL levels have normalized but remain elevated, consistently exceeding $1 billion in recent quarters and rising to $1.4 billion in Q2 2025.

Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) is the bank's cumulative reserve for potential future credit losses. The ACL, shown using the right axis in the graph above, peaked at $7,820 million in Q4 2020, reflecting the build-up of reserves during the pandemic uncertainty. While it has since declined from those peak levels, it remains elevated, ranging between $6.7 billion and $7.3 billion in recent quarters. The ACL ratio has averaged 0.72% of gross loans over the period from Q1 2015 to Q2 2025.

Net Write-offs show the actual credit losses that Scotiabank has experienced. The peak occurred in Q2 2021 at $1,141 million during the aftermath of the pandemic. More recently, write-offs have been trending upward, showing a 4.7% increase in the latest year from Q2 2024 to Q2 2025, reaching levels close to $1 billion in recent quarters. This increase suggests some deterioration in credit quality.

The recent trends in these metrics point to:

  • Rising net write-offs indicate actual credit deterioration
  • Increasing PCL levels suggest expectations of continued challenges
  • Growing ACL balances reflect the bank's conservative stance in maintaining strong loss reserves

The increases remain within manageable levels, given Scotiabank’s size and capital strength.

Over the 10-year period from Q2 2015 to Q2 2025, Scotiabank's gross loans expanded by 74% from $440 billion to $763 billion. There was a brief contraction in 2020, followed by a rapid recovery, with significant growth from 2021 to 2023. The loan portfolio reached a peak at $770 billion in Q2 2023, moderating in the following quarters before hitting a new record of $773 billion in Q1 2025.

Residential mortgages represent the largest portion of Scotiabank’s loan portfolio and have grown 69% from Q2 2015 to Q2 2025, increasing from $214 billion to $360 billion, a record high.

Business and government loans are the second-largest segment and have grown by over 100% from $159 billion in Q2 2015 to $280 billion in Q2 2025. Growth has been particularly strong since 2022.

Personal loans, excluding credit cards, have shown more modest growth, increasing from $90 billion in Q1 2018 to $106 billion in Q2 2025. Credit cards represent the smallest portion and have grown from $14.6 billion in Q1 2018 to $17.2 billion in Q2 2025. Credit card balances initially declined during the pandemic but have since increased and are now similar to pre-pandemic levels.

Scotiabank's deposit base has grown significantly from 2015 to 2025, with total deposits growing by 64% from $575 billion in Q2 2015 to $946 billion in Q2 2025. The geographic distribution of deposits reveals Canadian deposits as the strongest performer. With growth of 79% over the period, they represent nearly 73% of total deposits. This expansion from $383 billion to $686 billion demonstrates the bank's powerful domestic operations, with recent quarters showing stability around $680-690 billion.

US deposits have shown the most modest growth at 2%, currently representing 9% of total deposits. This segment has experienced significant fluctuations, ranging from $49 billion to over $100 billion, before stabilizing around $90 billion in recent quarters.

Other international deposits have achieved solid growth of 62% and now represent 18% of total deposits. This segment has grown from $106 billion to $171 billion, showing more growth than US deposits but less growth than Canadian operations. The international deposit base reached a peak of $183 billion in Q3 2023 before moderating to current levels, demonstrating the bank's ability to maintain a significant international presence while focusing on core markets.
