(TSX: HCG) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and for 2015, a year in which the company made significant progress strengthening its business in a prudent, profitable and sustainable manner, and announced a dividend increase of 9.1% and a planned $150 million share buyback. In Q4 2015, Home Capital delivered an increased net interest margin of 2.46%, from a healthy loan portfolio with low nonperforming loans and credit losses, continued progress on improving the pace of loan originations, and a strong capital position. In addition, the Company continued to execute on growth initiatives, including closing the acquisition of CFF Bank, a Schedule I bank under the Bank Act (Canada), fulfilling a strategic priority, and the expansion of its credit card business with the launch of another co-branded Visa product. For 2015, Home Capital reported adjusted diluted earnings per share in line with 2014 s record level and near-record annual adjusted net income and adjusted revenue. Total loans under administration rose to $25.06 billion, the highest in the Company s history, driven by its solid core residential business, increases in its Accelerator portfolio, the acquisition of the CFF loans portfolio and increases in commercial mortgages and other lending. In addition, the Company continued to strengthen its balance sheet, invest in technology and diversify deposit funding, important steps in creating a stronger business. Home Capital continues to expect that it will meet its three- to five-year mid-term targets, reflecting the strength of the overall business and its diverse sources of growth. Q4 Financial Highlights: Adjusted Q net income of $71.8 million and $288.9 million for 2015, down 0.1% compared to $71.9 million in Q and down 0.1% compared to $289.2 million for 2015, respectively. Adjusted Q net income was 0.9% lower than Q Adjusted Q diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.02 and $4.11 for 2015, compared to $1.02 and $4.11 earned in Q and full year 2014, respectively. Adjusted Q diluted EPS was down 1.0% compared to Q Adjusted Return on common shareholders equity was 18.0% for Q and 18.8% for Net non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans (NPL ratio) was 0.28% at the end of Q4 2015, compared to 0.30% at the end of Q and 0.30% at the end of Q Net write-offs as a percentage of gross loans were 0.05% for Q4 2015, compared to 0.07% for Q and 0.04% for Q Net write-offs for 2015 were 0.04% compared to 0.06% for Q Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 18.31% and Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 18.30% and 20.70%, respectively. Growing Our Core Business Home Capital, through its principal subsidiary Home Trust Company, continued throughout 2015 to build on its presence as Canada s leading alternative financial institution serving an established, but underserved and growing, market niche. The Company continued to make progress on its efforts to increase originations of single-family residential mortgages, and throughout the year has experienced strong growth in its other lines of business. Total mortgage advances in Q were $2.15 billion, a decrease of 6.0% from $2.29 billion in Q Home Capital reported traditional (uninsured single-family) residential mortgage originations of $1.30 billion, as compared to $1.48 billion in Q4 2014, a decrease of 12.1%. Accelerator originations increased 46.1% in Q to $515.9 million from $353.0 million in Q Originations from all other sources decreased 26.3% to $334.0 million. Total mortgage advances were down 13.8% over Q3 2015, reflecting expected seasonality trends. On a full-year basis, total mortgage originations from all sources in 2015 were $8.06 billion, down 8.9% from 2014, as increased commercial mortgage originations helped to offset declines in traditional and Accelerator residential mortgages. For 2015, traditional residential originations decreased 13.5% to $5.07 billion from $5.86 billion in 2014, while Accelerator originations declined 22.0% to $1.39 billion in 2015 from $1.79 billion in In Q2 2015, the Company disclosed that its mortgage origination volumes were impacted directly by, among other things, the Company suspending, during the period of September 2014 to March 2015, its relationship with 18 independent mortgage brokers and 2 brokerages, for a total of approximately 45 individual mortgage brokers. 1

2 The total value of outstanding loans at December 31, 2015 that were referred by the suspended brokers was $1.55 billion. This compares to $1.72 billion as at September 30, The Company expects this balance to decline further as customers pay down loans. The Company continues to actively monitor the subject mortgages and notes that there have been no unusual credit issues. The Company is reviewing and re-validating, where appropriate, the income documentation related to the identified group of mortgages and taking corrective action accordingly. As of the date of this report, the Company is over 40% of the way through its review process, with plans to complete these efforts by the end of Of the accounts reviewed, the Company has determined that approximately 90% of the mortgages reviewed to date could be eligible for renewal. Home Capital has taken several steps to improve origination volumes in 2015 and in the initial part of 2016, including sales measures to strengthen the Company s pipeline for residential mortgage originations and to take advantage of the solid demand for its traditional mortgages within its established regions. The Company has taken additional steps to improve origination volumes in the beginning of 2016 by enhancing the broker experience through its broker portal technology, and launching a new broker partnership program. In addition, the Company has renewed focus on expanding its commercial lending products, seeking to expand its footprint, as appropriate opportunities arise. The Company expects to see further progress from these efforts to improve origination volumes through Other lending, comprising credit cards and other consumer retail loans, continues to be an important source of loan assets with attractive returns. These assets now represent 3.7% of the total on-balance sheet loan portfolio, and generated 7.0% of the interest income from loans for the quarter. The other lending business demonstrated strong growth in 2015, despite the payout of the waterheater loan portfolio of $234.9 million in 2014, which resulted in the absence of net interest income of approximately $12.6 million ($9.3 million, after tax or $0.13 earnings per share) in 2015, that would have been otherwise generated through this portfolio in The Company continued its expansion of its credit card co-branding initiatives in Q4 2015, with the launch of a new Visa credit card program co-branded with Giant Tiger. That is in addition to two new programs announced in the third quarter of 2015 with Union Plus Canada and Optimax. The Visa cards are issued and managed by Home Trust. These credit card programs leverage the brand, customer affinity and distribution channels of these corporate partners. The balance of Oaken deposits at the end of the year exceeded $1 billion at $1.09 billion, reflecting an increase in the balance over last year of 42.2%. On October 1, 2015, the Company, through its subsidiary Home Trust Company, finalized the acquisition of all outstanding common shares of CFF Bank for a purchase price of $19.6 million, subject to final adjustments. The acquisition of CFF Bank, a Schedule 1 bank under the Bank Act (Canada), supports the Company s long-term strategy to continue to develop its deposit diversification initiatives and potentially its product suite. In addition, the Company has a mortgage and lending distribution agreement in place with certain owner-managed Canadian First Financial Centres that had a prior relationship with CFF Bank. These centres are located across Canada, helping the Company to expand its distribution networks. Building on Operational Excellence Home Capital continues to experience strong credit performance, with net non-performing loans as a percentage of gross loans (NPL ratio) at 0.28% at the end of Q4 2015, down from 0.30% at the end of both Q and Q These results reflect the high credit quality of the Company s loan portfolio and are supported by the Company s continued investments in its risk oversight functions. Home Capital also continued through the end of 2015 to make disciplined and measured investments in other areas related to the longer-term growth of the business. These investments include, among other things, ongoing investments in IT related to moving toward operating as a digital enterprise, as well as continuing to update the Company s loans-origination platform, which is designed for more efficient processing of loan applications. The integration of CFF Bank with the Company s own operations is proceeding as expected. All retained former employees of CFF Bank have been transitioned to Home Trust. The Company is beginning the initial stages of decommissioning redundant systems to realize planned cost savings and to facilitate the efficient growth of the CFF business. The Company incurred acquisition and integration expenses in the quarter related to CFF Bank in the amount of $4.2 million. These amounts have been excluded in the calculation of adjusted metrics. While most of the increase in expenses incurred by the Company in 2015 were associated with ongoing efforts to build on Home Capital s operational excellence and dedication to providing service to clients and business partners, the Company has incurred additional expenses of approximately $2.9 million in 2015 related to its efforts to realign some of its business partnerships following the suspension of the small number of brokers. 2

3 Strong and Conservative Financial Position Home Capital continued to focus on maintaining its strong and conservative financial position while delivering value to shareholders in Q and the full year Home Capital delivered an adjusted return on average shareholders equity of 18.0% and 18.8%, respectively. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, and in light of the Company s performance, profitability and strong financial position, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per common share, payable on March 1, 2016 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 23, The dividend increase marks Home Capital s 18th increase to its common share dividend in the last 10 years. In addition, Home Capital Group s Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase of up to $150 million, which is anticipated to take place through a Substantial Issuer Bid by way of an issuer bid circular that would be provided to the shareholders of Home Capital. Home Capital has engaged RBC Capital Markets as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed Substantial Issuer Bid. The terms and conditions of the bid remain to be determined, and are subject to approval by the Board of Directors. The Company will provide additional details regarding the share repurchase in due course. In summary, the Company has maintained its solid fundamentals, and has seen improvements in originations through the end of Home Capital s focus remains on providing the best service and support to our customers and valued business partners, generating future growth that is sustainable and prudent, and making the investments in our business that help us to achieve those goals. Looking ahead, the Board of Directors and management expect that Home Capital will continue generating solid shareholder returns for 2016 and beyond. GERALD M.

These are included in the Annual Report, periodic reports to shareholders, regulatory filings, press releases, Company presentations and other Company communications. Forward-looking statements are made in connection with business objectives and targets, Company strategies, operations, anticipated financial results and the outlook for the Company, its industry, and the Canadian economy. These statements regarding expected future performance are financial outlooks within the meaning of National Instrument Please see the risk factors, which are set forth in detail in the Risk Management section of the Company s 2015 Annual and Fourth Quarter Consolidated Financial Report, as well as its other publicly filed information, which are available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at for the material factors that could cause the Company s actual results to differ materially from these statements. These risk factors are material risk factors a reader should consider, and include credit risk, funding and liquidity risk, structural interest rate risk, operational risk, investment risk, strategic and business risk, reputational risk, compliance risk, and capital adequacy risk along with additional risk factors that may affect future results. Forward-looking statements can be found in the Report to the Shareholders and the Outlook sections in the Annual Report. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as will, believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, plan, forecast, may, and could or other similar expressions. By their very nature, these statements require the Company to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, global capital market activity, changes in government monetary and economic policies, changes in interest rates, inflation levels and general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory developments, competition and technological change. The preceding list is not exhaustive of possible factors. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or verbal, that may be made from time to time by it or on its behalf, except as required by securities laws. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian economy in 2016 and its effect on Home Capital s business are material factors the Company considers when setting its objectives, targets and outlook. In determining expectations for economic growth, both broadly and in the financial services sector, the Company primarily considers historical and forecasted economic data provided by the Canadian government and its agencies. In setting and reviewing its targets, objectives and outlook for 2016, management s expectations assume: The Canadian economy is expected to be relatively stable in 2016; however, it will continue to be impacted by adverse effects related to the drop and fluctuations in oil prices and other commodities. The Company has limited exposure in energy producing regions. Generally the Company expects stable employment conditions in its established regions; however, unemployment rates in energy producing regions are expected to continue to increase in Also, the Company expects inflation will generally be within the Bank of Canada s target of 1% to 3%, leading to stable credit losses and consistent demand for the Company s lending products in its established regions. Credit losses and delinquencies in the energy producing regions may increase, but given the Company s limited exposure, this is not expected to be significant. The Canadian economy will continue to be influenced by the economic conditions in the United States and global markets and further adjustments in commodity prices; as such, the Company is prepared for the variability to plan that may result. The Company is assuming that overnight interest rates will remain at the current very low rate for This is expected to continue to support relatively low mortgage interest rates for the foreseeable future. In the Company s established regions, the Company expects that the housing market will remain stable with reduced, but balanced supply supported by continued low interest rates, and relatively stable employment, depending on location and immigration. There will be moderately easing housing starts and resale activity with relatively stable prices throughout most of Canada, with continued regional disparities. This supports continued stable credit losses and stable demand for the Company s lending products in its established regions. The Company expects that consumer debt levels, while elevated, will remain serviceable by Canadian households. The Company will have access to the mortgage and deposit markets through broker networks. Non-GAAP Measures The Company has adopted IFRS as its accounting framework. IFRS are the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for Canadian publicly accountable enterprises for years beginning on or after January 1, The Company uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance.
