"While we are encouraged by improving stabilization in our operating environment, we anticipate a slow build towards normalized activity levels as markets await a clear inflection point."

Core business performance highlights:

Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management

The Company's combined global wealth management operations earned revenue of $195.0 million for the third fiscal quarter, a year-over-year increase of 8.5%.  On a year-to-date basis, revenue in this division amounted to $573.3 million, an increase of 12.1% compared to the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. Net income before taxes excluding significant items(1) for this segment increased by 3.7% and 19.8%  year-over-year for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

  • Wealth management operations in the UK & Crown Dependencies generated third quarter revenue of $101.8 million, an increase of 18.8% compared to the same period last year, primarily driven by higher quarterly interest income offset by a small decrease in commissions and fees revenue. Measured in local currency (GBP), revenue was £60.2 million in Q3/24 compared to £53.7 million in Q3/23, an increase of 12.1% compared to the same quarter last year. Excluding significant items(1), pre-tax net income for this business was $25.5 million in Q3/24 and $74.9 million fiscal year-to-date, year-over-year increases of 11.3% and 25.3%, respectively.
  • Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management (North America) generated $77.0 million in third quarter revenue, a year-over-year decrease of 0.4% compared to Q3/23 and an increase of 8.8% compared to Q2/24. Fee-related revenue for the third fiscal quarter grew by 5.4 p.p. year-over-year to 50.9%. Excluding significant items(1) net income before taxes for this business was $10.8 million in Q3/24 and $29.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024, which represents a year-over-year decrease of 12.6% and an increase of 1.5% respectively.
  • Wealth management operations in Australia generated $16.2 million in third quarter revenue, a decrease of 2.7% compared to the third quarter of last year and an increase of 5.0% compared to Q2/24. Excluding significant items(1) net income before taxes for this business was $1.5 million in Q3/24 compared to net income of $1.2 million in Q3/23, and net income before taxes of $2.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to net income of $0.5 million for the same period a year ago.

Total client assets in the Company's global wealth management businesses at the end of the third fiscal quarter amounted to $99.2 billion, an increase of $4.8 billion or 5.1% from Q3/23.

  • Client assets(1) in the UK & Crown Dependencies were $56.8 billion (£33.7 billion) as at December 31, 2023, an increase of 4.4% (increase of 1.4% in local currency) from $54.4 billion (£33.2 billion) at December 31, 2022. On a sequential basis, client assets increased by 8.0% (increase of 6.0% in local currency) from $52.6 billion (£31.7 billion) at the end of the previous quarter primarily due to improvements in market values and foreign exchange movement.
  • Client assets(1) in North America were $36.3 billion as at December 31, 2023, an increase of 4.5% from $34.7 billion at December 31, 2022 and an increase of 2.8% compared to the previous fiscal quarter due to increases in market values and net new assets.
  • Client assets(1) in Australia were $6.1 billion (AUD 6.8 billion) at December 31, 2023, an increase of 12.0% from $5.5 billion (AUD 6.3 billion) at the end of the previous quarter and an increase of 16.6% from $5.3 billion (AUD 5.7 billion) at December 31, 2022. In addition, client assets(1) totalling $14.5 billion (AUD 16.0 billion) are also held on record in less active and transactional accounts through our Australian platform.

Canaccord Genuity Capital Markets

Globally, Canaccord Genuity Capital Markets earned revenue of $189.8 million for the third fiscal quarter, a decrease of 3.6% compared to Q3/23 and an increase of 31.1% sequentially, reflecting improving levels of investment banking, advisory and principal trading activities when compared to the second quarter of this fiscal year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, revenue decreased by 15.2% to $480.3 million, driven by lower advisory fees and principal trading revenue and partially offset by higher interest, commissions and fees and investment banking revenue. 

Canaccord Genuity Capital Markets participated in 241 investment banking transactions globally, including led and co-led deals, raising total proceeds of $12.4 billion for the fiscal year-to-date.

Advisory revenue for the three-month period was $74.6 million, a slight year-over-year decrease of 0.8% and an increase of 62.1% sequentially, which reflects improving contributions from our Canadian, US and UK businesses. Investment banking revenue increased by 5.8% compared to Q3/23 and by 29.2% sequentially, reflecting a modest increase in new issue activity in Canada, the US and UK, offset by a slight decrease in Australia. Commissions and fees revenue decreased by 4.9% year-over-year for the three-month period due to lower contributions from the US, partially offset by higher contributions from our Canadian and UK operations.  Principal trading revenue decreased by 14.7% year-over-year as a result of reduced market-wide trading activity but increased by 47.0% compared to Q2/24 reflecting traditionally higher trading volumes at the end of the calendar year. Interest revenue decreased by 16.2% and increased by 58.4%, respectively, for the three- and nine- month periods ended December 31, 2023 due to the higher interest rate environment compared to last year, offset by reduced stock lending activity on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

All CG capital markets businesses achieved profitability in the third fiscal quarter. Excluding significant items(1),  our global capital markets division recorded net income before taxes of $16.7 million for the third fiscal quarter, which compares favourably to the $5.9 million recorded in Q3/23 and primarily reflects the impact of lower compensation and fixed costs when compared to the same period a year ago. Net income excluding significant items(1) for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $2.7 million compared to $36.3 million for the same period in the prior year.

Summary of Corporate Developments

On November 9, 2023, the Company announced that through CGWM UK, it has entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Intelligent Capital.

(1) See Non-IFRS Measures on page 5

Diluted earnings per common share ("diluted EPS") and net income attributable to common shareholders are computed using the treasury stock method, giving effect to the exercise of all dilutive elements. The Convertible Preferred Shares and Preference Shares issued by Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management Holdings (Jersey) Limited are factored into these measures by adjusting net income attributable to common shareholders of the Company to reflect our proportionate share of CGWM UK's earnings on an as- converted basis if the calculation is dilutive.  For the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the effect of reflecting our proportionate share of CGWM UK's earnings is anti-dilutive under IFRS but dilutive for figures excluding significant items (1).  As such, the diluted EPS and net income attributable to common shareholders under IFRS for Q3 and YTD fiscal 2024 is computed based on net income attributable to common shareholders less accrued dividends on the Convertible Preferred Shares and Preference Shares issued by CGWM UK.  Net income attributable to common shareholders excluding significant items(1) and diluted EPS excluding significant items (1) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023  reflects the Company's proportionate share of CGWM UK's net income excluding significant items(1)  on an as- converted basis.

*As of September 30, 2023, a portion of the bank loan in the amount of $286.2 million was classified as a current liability on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the completion and execution of final documentation extending the maturity date of the bank loan to September 30, 2025 had not been completed at the end of Q2 fiscal 2024.  Unadjusted working capital as presented on the Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 2023 was $413.5 million.  The extension has since been finalized during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. For the purpose of this table working capital as of September 30, 2023 has been restated to reflect the extension as if it had been effective as of September 30, 2023.

Non-IFRS Measures

Certain non-IFRS measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures are utilized by the Company as measures of financial performance. Non-IFRS measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Management believes that these non-IFRS measures, non-IFRS ratios and supplementary financial measures allow for a better evaluation of the operating performance of the Company's business and facilitate meaningful comparison of results in the current period to those in prior periods and future periods. Non-IFRS measures presented in this earnings release include certain figures from our statement of operations that are adjusted to exclude significant items. Although figures that exclude significant items provide useful information by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results, a limitation of utilizing these figures that exclude significant items is that the IFRS accounting effects of these items do in fact reflect the underlying financial results of the Company's business. Accordingly, these effects should not be ignored in evaluating and analyzing the Company's financial results. Therefore, management believes that the Company's IFRS measures of financial performance and the respective non-IFRS measures should be considered together.

Non-IFRS Measures (Adjusted Figures)

Figures that exclude significant items provide useful information by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results. Financial statement items that exclude significant items are non-IFRS measures. To calculate these non-IFRS financial statement items, we exclude certain items from our financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS.  The items which have been excluded are referred to herein as significant items. The following is a description of the composition of the non-IFRS measures used in this earnings release (note that some significant items excluded may not be applicable to the calculation Of the non-IFRS measures for each comparative period): (i) revenue excluding significant items, which is composed of revenue per IFRS less any applicable fair value adjustments on certain illiquid or restricted marketable securities as recorded for IFRS reporting purposes but which are excluded for management reporting purposes and are not used by management to assess operating performance; (ii) expenses excluding significant items, which is composed of expenses per IFRS less any applicable amortization of intangible assets acquired in connection with a business combination, certain costs included in Corporate & Other development costs related to the expired management-led takeover bid for the common shares of the Company, restructuring costs, certain incentive-based costs related to the acquisitions and growth initiatives in  CGWM UK and US and UK capital markets, fair value adjustments to the derivative liability component of non-controlling interests in CGWM UK, change in fair value of contingent consideration in connection with prior acquisitions ; (iii) net income before taxes excluding significant items, which  is composed of revenue excluding significant items less expenses excluding significant items;  (iv) income taxes (adjusted), which is composed of income taxes per IFRS adjusted to reflect the associated tax effect of the excluded significant items; (v) net income excluding significant items, which is composed of net income before income taxes excluding significant items less income taxes (adjusted); (vi) non-controlling interests (adjusted), which is composed of non-controlling interests per IFRS less the amortization of the equity component of non-controlling interests in CGWM UK and adjusted as applicable under the treasury stock method when dilutive; and (vii) net income attributable to common shareholders excluding significant items, which is composed of net income excluding significant items less non-controlling interests (adjusted) and preferred share dividends paid on the Series A and Series C Preferred Shares.

A reconciliation of non-IFRS measures that exclude significant items to the applicable IFRS measures from the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 can be found above in the table entitled "Summary of results for Q3 fiscal 2024 and year-to-date fiscal 2024 and selected financial information excluding significant items".

Non-IFRS Ratios

Non-IFRS ratios are calculated using the non-IFRS measures defined above. For the periods presented herein, we have used the following non-IFRS ratios: (i) total expenses excluding significant items as a percentage of revenue, which is calculated by dividing expenses excluding significant items by revenue excluding significant items; (ii) earnings per common share excluding significant items, which is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders excluding significant items by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (basic); (iii) diluted earnings per common share excluding significant items which is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders excluding significant items  by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (diluted); and (iv) pre-tax profit margin which is calculated by dividing net income before taxes excluding significant items by revenue excluding significant items.

Supplementary Financial Measures

Client assets are supplementary financial measures that do not have any definitions prescribed under IFRS but do not meet the definition of a non-IFRS measure or non-IFRS ratio.  Client assets, which include both assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA), is a measure that is common to the wealth management business. Client assets is the market value of client assets managed and administered by the Company from which the Company earns commissions and fees.  This measure includes funds held in client accounts as well as the aggregate market value of long and short security positions. The Company's method of calculating client assets may differ from the methods used by other companies, and therefore these measures may not be comparable to other companies. Management uses these measures to assess operational performance of the Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management business segment.

CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This earnings release may contain "forward-looking information" as defined under applicable securities laws ("forward-looking statements"). These statements relate to future events or future performance and reflect the Company's expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates, intentions and similar statements concerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance or expectations that are not historical facts, including statements related to potential future transactions, actions by the Management Group or future Board representation. Such forward-looking statements reflect management's current beliefs and are based on information currently available to the Company. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "predict", "potential", "continue", "target", "intend", "could" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and a number of factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.

In evaluating these statements, readers should specifically consider various factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. These factors include, but are not limited to, the trading price of the Company's shares; the Company's financial condition and earnings; market and general economic conditions (including slowing economic growth, inflation and rising interest rates); the dynamic nature of the financial services industry; and the risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in the Company's interim condensed and annual consolidated financial statements, its annual report and its annual information form ("AIF") filed on www.sedarplus.ca as well as the factors discussed in the sections entitled "Risk Management" and "Risk Factors" in the AIF, which include market, liquidity, credit, operational, legal and regulatory risks.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based upon assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and should not be relied upon as representing the Company's views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, further developments or otherwise.
