Chair of the Board’s Message
TD’s performance and strategic progress in 2022 reflect the strength of our businesses and the commitment of our colleagues
Supported by ongoing investments in technology, talent and new capabilities, TD continued to grow in 2022. TD colleagues offered trusted advice and legendary experiences, helping millions of households and businesses advance their financial goals in a rapidly changing economic environment.
The Bank also supported the communities in which we operate. Through the TD Ready Commitment, we contributed more than $147 million in 2022 to help build a more inclusive and sustainable future. In addition, the interim financed emissions targets announced this year further advanced the goals of the Climate Action Plan announced in 2020.
TD’s 2022 reported earnings of $17.4 billion supported these important investments, while delivering an increase in our common share dividend to shareholders. Our strong performance and capital position also provided the Bank with the means with which to announce important strategic acquisitions to strengthen our businesses in the United States. Once closed, First Horizon will add significant scale and open new opportunities for growth in the U.S. Southeast, and Cowen will further expand TD Securities’ capabilities and accelerate the expansion of an integrated North American Dealer with global reach. We look forward to welcoming them to TD.
These achievements are the direct result of the hard work of our dedicated TD colleagues. They demonstrated tremendous resilience during the pandemic and delivered consistent outcomes and strategic progress throughout the past year. They continue to live our purpose – to enrich the lives of customers, communities and colleagues.
TD enters the new fiscal year in a position of strength. The Board of Directors would like to recognize our Group President and CEO for his continued stewardship of the Bank, the Senior Executive Team for their exceptional leadership, and all TD colleagues for their commitment to the Bank and to the millions we serve.
The Board extends its thanks to our customers for the opportunity to serve them, and to our shareholders for their ongoing confidence in the Bank. We will continue to work hard, every day, to earn your trust and support.
Brian M. Levitt
Chair of the Board
