First quarter 2007 highlights compared with the first quarter of 2006 (1): Net income of $1,494 million, up 27.6% Diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.14, up 28.1% Return on common equity (ROE) of 27.3%, up 340 basis points Revenue of $5,698 million, up $738 million, or 15% Non-interest expense of $3,067 million, up $316 million, or 11% Announced a $.06, or 15%, increase to our quarterly dividend TORONTO, March 2, 2007 – Royal Bank of Canada (RY on TSX & NYSE) reported record net income of $1,494 million for the first quarter ended January 31, 2007, up $323 million, or 27.6%, from a year ago. Diluted EPS were $1.14, up 28.1%. ROE was 27.3%, compared to 23.9% a year ago. This growth was largely attribut- able to strong earnings across all our business segments including an increase of 31% in RBC Canadian Personal and Business, 27% in RBC Capital Markets and 48% in RBC U.S. and International Personal and Business. Commenting on the results, Gordon M. Nixon, President & CEO, said, “We have started 2007 with outstanding results that reflect continued investments in all our business segments. Execution of our strategic initiatives is helping us improve market share in Canada and expand our businesses globally.” Total revenue increased $738 million, or 15%, from a year ago primarily due to solid growth in our wealth management and banking businesses driven by expansion, targeted acquisitions and the successful execution of our strategic initiatives. Stronger equity and debt trading results due to significant transactions and increased revenue from certain equity trading strategies also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by lower insurance-related revenue mainly due to the negative impact of the implementation of the new financial instruments accounting standards which was largely offset in insurance policyholder benefits, claims and acquisition expense. (1) Effective November 1, 2006, results reported on a total consolidated basis are comparable to results reported as from continuing operations for the corresponding prior periods.
