Q1 2013 VS Q1 2012

P&C Canada net income of $458 million was up $17 million or 4%. Revenue was unchanged from a year ago, reflecting the combination of higher volumes across most products and lower net interest margin. Net interest margin declined 27 basis points to 2.65% primarily due to lower deposit spreads in the low rate environment and changes in mix, including loan growth exceeding deposit growth.

Provisions for credit losses fell $27 million to $128 million due to a combination of higher recoveries and lower provisions.

Non-interest expense increased by $5 million, reflecting prudent expense management while investing selectively in the business.
