TORONTO, Dec. 3, 2025 /CNW/ - EQB Inc. (TSX: EQB) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025.
"Fiscal 2025 was a difficult year for EQB. We responded by announcing a one-time restructuring program in the fourth quarter which drove a charge of $92 million pre-tax. This significantly improves our cost structure and creates a foundation for better efficiency, operating leverage and ROE," said Chadwick Westlake, President and CEO. "Our new leadership team is focused on growing our core franchise, rapidly accelerating our Challenger Bank products and expanding our capabilities for the benefit of all Canadians. The transformative announcement of the acquisition of PC Financial and strategic partnership with Loblaw adds further strength to our outlook and complements the many great organic opportunities we have as a diversified Canadian lender and owner of EQ Bank, the top banking brand in Canada now nearing $10 billion in deposits. With our strong talent, capital and technology, combined with prudent and disciplined risk and cost management, our goal is to deliver lasting value for our stakeholders as a customer-first disruptor."

resilience of the insured lending platform and market leading position.
The strong risk profile of this portfolio was retained with more than 80%
of total LUM being insured under CMHC programs

as healthy customer retention and renewal rates offset the impact of
steady, but subdued, origination levels in a less active housing market.
The decumulation lending portfolio (reverse mortgages and insurance
lending) grew +36% y/y to $2.9 billion, with market share gains supported

-- EQ Bank deposits accelerated in FY25, closing the year at nearly $10

program and new Business Banking platform that fundamentally improves
competitive choice in banking

release pipeline. The platform was enthusiastically received by small
business customers drawn to a differentiated, all-digital offering that
provides greater value
-- EQ Bank named top banking brand in Canada and North American by Financial
Times' leading magazine on international finance, The Banker, for its
compelling brand story, momentum and likelihood of growing market share
Prudent provisioning accounts for current macroeconomic headwinds
-- EQB's adjusted provision for credit losses $(PCL)$ was $132 million in FY25 (reported $137 million) as higher impairments and performing allowances in the personal and commercial portfolios were driven by weaker housing market and uncertainty associated with GDP and unemployment versus a year ago. This was partly offset by lower equipment financing PCL -- The Bank is appropriately reserved for credit losses with net allowances as a percentage of total loan assets of 41 bps, compared to 32 bps at Q4 2024. The increase was across all segments and driven by prudent provisioning against the performing loan book considering elevated macroeconomic uncertainty
Expense growth and operating leverage proactively addressed by decisive Q4 restructuring program
-- Executed strategic restructuring and streamlining program to enhance
flexibility, improve efficiency and align costs to high-impact
initiatives where EQB can generate strong ROE and growth
-- Final restructuring, severance and impairment charges totalled $92
million pre-tax, composed of $22.7 million in severance costs and $69.3
million in non-operating asset impairment charges
-- EQB's adjusted efficiency ratio for 2025 was 50.9%, +5.7% y/y (reported
59.7%, +12.4% y/y)
Dividend increase, share buybacks reflect disciplined approach to returning capital to shareholders
-- EQB declared a dividend of $0.57 per common share payable on December 31,
2025, to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2025, representing a
16% increase from the dividend paid in December 2024 and a 4% increase
from the dividend paid in September 2025
-- EQB purchased and cancelled 1,023,748 common shares through its active
Normal Course Issue Bid (NCIB) and intends to renew its NCIB in FY26 to
support attractive return of capital for shareholders4
"EQB has three financial priorities for fiscal 2026: drive growth, thoughtfully manage expenses and maintain strong risk management practices," said Anilisa Sainani, CFO. "Recent targeted actions to manage expense growth along with prudent credit provisioning create the foundation to deliver on these priorities. Core business growth will come from disciplined organic initiatives to expand our lending market share positions and serve our EQB customers, both retail and business, with differentiated digital products. We expect to significantly bolster these organic growth opportunities with the announcement to acquire PC Financial and strategic partnership with Loblaw. In all our actions, we are committed to creating shareholder value."

Although EQB believes the assumptions used to make such statements are reasonable at this time and has attempted to identify in its continuous disclosure documents important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Certain material assumptions are applied by EQB in making forward-looking statements, including without limitation, assumptions regarding its continued ability to fund its mortgage business, a continuation of the current level of economic uncertainty that affects real estate market conditions, continued acceptance of its products in the marketplace, as well as no material changes in its operating cost structure and the current tax regime. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. EQB does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements that are contained herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

(4) Income tax expense associated with non-GAAP adjustment was calculated based on the statutory tax rate applicable for that period.
Other non-GAAP financial measures and ratios:
-- Adjusted efficiency ratio: it is derived by dividing adjusted
non-interest expenses by adjusted revenue. A lower adjusted efficiency
ratio reflects a more efficient cost structure
-- Adjusted return on equity $(ROE)$ is calculated on an annualized basis and
is defined as adjusted net income available to common shareholders as a
percentage of weighted average common shareholders' equity (reported)
outstanding during the period.
-- Assets under administration (AUA): is sum of (1) assets over which EQB's
subsidiaries have been named as trustee, custodian, executor,
administrator, or other similar role; (2) loans held by credit unions for
which EQB's subsidiaries act as servicer.
-- Assets under management (AUM): is the sum of total balance sheet assets,
loan principal derecognized but still managed by EQB, and assets managed
on behalf on investors.
-- Loans under management (LUM): is the sum of loan principal reported on
the consolidated balance sheet and loan principal derecognized but still
managed by EQB.
-- Net interest margin (NIM): this profitability measure is calculated on an
annualized basis by dividing net interest income by the average total
interest earning assets for the period.
-- Pre-provision pre-tax income (PPPT): this is the difference between
revenue and non-interest expenses.
-- Total loan assets: this is calculated on a gross basis (prior to
allowance for credit losses) as the sum of both Loans -- Personal and
Loans -- Commercial on the balance sheet.
