Bank of Nova Scotia expects its investment in KeyCorp will contribute about 77 million Canadian dollars, the equivalent of US$56.2 million, to its net income in the fiscal second quarter.

The contribution doesn't include Scotiabank's associated funding costs and is reported on a one-month lag, the bank said Friday.

Adjusting for the amortization of acquired intangible assets of roughly C$8 million, the Canadian bank's adjusted net-income contribution from KeyCorp is forecast to be about C$85 million for the quarter.

Scotiabank, which is scheduled to release its second-quarter financial results on May 27, at the end of 2024 finalized a US$2.8 billion investment in KeyCorp in which it took an almost-15% stake in the U.S. regional lender as part of a move to expand its reach and gain exposure to retail banking in the country.
