Introduction

Thank you for purchasing or ordering my 2016 "Analysis of the Canada's Largest Credit Unions" report. This statistical report provides the reader with financial competitive analysis on 138 of the largest credit unions in Canada (with assets in excess of $90 million). Last year, I had provided financial information on 141 credit unions in my final report. More credit unions have been willing to disclose their financial results and are posting them on their websites. However, I was unable to obtain the 2016 financial statements from the following credit unions (each with assets in excess of $85 million) at this time:

Name of Credit Union 1 Beautiful Plains 2 Columbia Valley 3 Encompass 4 Equity 5 Estonian 6 Quinte First

Location Neepawa Golden Wainwright Ajax Toronto Belleville

Province Manitoba British Columbia Alberta Ontario Ontario Ontario

I was only able to obtained condensed or summary financial statements for the following thirty three credit unions. You will note that each of these credit union's names are in bold and have an * after their name, which designates that only limited information was available for those credit unions.

The following credit unions have only condensed summary information included in my report:

I would like to thank the CEOs and CFOs of the credit unions, who have supported this research effort over the last fourteen years by providing their financial statement information and for purchasing this report.

I am hopeful that in the next few weeks I will receive some of the reports that I am missing and some audited statements for those credit unions, which only posted summary statements on their website.

Should you find errors or omissions with respect to your credit union's numbers please feel to contact me. I will endeavour make any corrections.

Executive Summary

The 2016 final report includes 147 credit unions compared to 141 credit unions in the final report last year. The 147 credit unions represent 95.3% of the total movement's assets compared to 94.8% in the previous year.

The credit union system membership (not including the Caisses Populaires) has increased by 25,414 members to 5,370,306 in 2016, compared to an increase of 40,440 members in the previous year. The membership had increased in the [2013-2011] period after showing small decreases in 2010 and 2009. The membership of largest credit unions in my study represent approximately 92.1% of the total membership.

The continued consolidation of the movement* has resulted in the 10 largest credit unions accumulating assets of $98.7 billion representing 50.0% of total assets of the movement compared to $90.9 billion or 49.9% of the movement in the previous year.

The 10 largest credit union's assets grew at 8.6% which was similar to the largest credit union's growth of 8.7% and greater than the total movement's growth of 8.2%.

The asset growth of the 147 largest credit unions in 2016 was 8.7% compared to 9.7% in the previous year. The growth of the movement's assets was 8.2% in 2016 compared to 7.4% in the previous year.

The number of credit unions in the system declined by 21 credit unions primarily due to mergers and amalgamations from 292 in 2015 to 271 in 2016. While, the number of branches decreased from 1,747 in 2015 to 1,731 in 2016.

The movement's loans increased from $153.0 billion in 2015 to $165.6 billion in 2016, an increase of 8.2% compared to 5.7% in the previous year.

The largest credit union's insured mortgage loan portfolio (only 60 credit unions reported these figures), stood at $15.1 billion representing 32.1% of the residential mortgage portfolio compared to 49.7% for the large Canadian domestic banks.

The credit quality of the movement's loan portfolio (as represented by the largest credit unions) remains very favourable and improving. The allowance as a percentage of gross
