General Instructions
The LRR is to be completed using the methodologies and calculations described in OSFI's Leverage Requirements Guideline (the "guideline"). The purpose of these instructions is to ease completion of the return by referencing its components to the applicable paragraph(s) of the guideline. In addition to guideline references, these instructions provide supplementary explanation for selected sections or cells in the return. Further guidance is provided through cross-referencing formulas in the return itself.
Generally, the LRR must be completed by all banks, bank holding companies, cooperative retail associations and federally regulated trust and loan companies. These OSFI-regulated entities are collectively referred to herein as institutions. The LRR is not applicable to Category III SMSBs, as defined in OSFI's SMSB Capital and Liquidity Requirements Guideline.Footnote 3
The shaded cells are totals or sub-totals. Although these cells are the result of arithmetic operations they must be populated by the institution as the return does not contain any built-in formulas.
Scope of Reporting Entity
Exposures and capital measures are to be reported on a group-wide basis for all entities which are consolidated by the institution for leverage requirement purposes as described in the guideline.
Calculation versus Reporting Detail
The two sections in this return are designed to provide the overall calculation of the Leverage Ratio (LR) as well as certain breakdowns regarding key components. In the case of derivatives exposures reported in Section 2, institutions must prepare more detailed breakdowns and calculations in order to derive the summary data required by the return. As a result, the reported figures will not necessarily be sufficiently detailed to enable a precise replication of the calculation.

Subsection 1.2 includes a summary of the amounts reported on Section 2 of the LRR. The following table provides a description of each DPA.
| DPA | Description | Instructions | LR para reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1201 | Derivatives not covered by an eligible bilateral netting contract | Total derivatives exposure for derivative transactions that are not subject to an eligible bilateral netting contract. This amount should equal the amount reported in DPA 2110 in Section 2. | 37 |

| 1311 | SFT agent transactions – Counterparty exposure | The counterparty exposure measure of eligible SFT agent transactions where the institution provides an indemnity for credit risk. As noted in the guideline, the determination of PFE for SFTs under the risk-based capital ratios requires the institution to apply haircuts to the value of securities and for foreign exchange risk. Since counterparty risk for SFTs for leverage ratio purposes is determined solely by the current exposure portion of the formula, no haircuts are needed in the leverage ratio calculation. | 57-60 |
| 1303 | All other SFTs (after adjusting for sale accounting transactions) – Accounting balance sheet value | The balance sheet value of SFTs other than SFT agent transactions. This amount should be reported net of specific provisions and valuation adjustments and include the effects of netting agreements and credit risk mitigation only as permitted under IFRS. SFT traded OTC, on an exchange and through a CCP should all be included. | 56 |
| 1305 | All other SFTs (after adjusting for sale accounting transactions) – Gross value | The gross value of SFTs other than SFT agent transactions. This amount should be reported with no recognition of accounting netting of (cash) payables against (cash) receivables. SFT traded OTC, on an exchange and through a CCP should all be included. | 56 |
| 1307 | All other SFTs (after adjusting for sale accounting transactions) – Adjusted Gross SFT assets | The adjusted gross SFT assets of all SFTs other than SFT agent transactions. Cash payables and cash receivables may be measure net if the criteria in the guideline are met. | 56 |
| 1312 | All other SFTs (after adjusting for sale accounting transactions) – Counterparty exposure | The counterparty credit risk exposure of all SFTs other than SFT agent transactions. Netting is permitted as outlined in the guideline. As noted in the guideline, the determination of PFE for SFTs under the risk-based capital ratios requires the institution to apply haircuts to the value of securities and for foreign exchange risk. Since counterparty risk for SFTs for leverage ratio purposes is determined solely by the current exposure portion of the formula, no haircuts are needed in the leverage ratio calculation. | 54-56 |

Section 2 - Derivatives exposure calculation
1. Financial and credit derivatives
Subsection 2.1 is broken down in two panels. Panel A) covers derivatives not subject to an eligible netting contract whereas panel B) covers derivatives subject to an eligible netting contract.
Replacement cost, notional amounts and add-on amounts for credit derivatives and financial derivatives are reported in two distinct columns. Financial derivatives include Interest rate contracts, foreign exchange rate contracts, equity-linked contracts, precious metals, and other commodity contracts. Credit and financial derivative types are described in the following table:
| Product Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Credit derivative contracts | Credit derivative contracts include total return swaps, credit default swaps and credit-linked notes. |
| Interest rate contracts | Interest rate contracts include single currency interest rate swaps, basis swaps, forward rate agreements and products with similar characteristics, interest rate futures, and interest rate options purchased. |
| Foreign exchange rate contracts | Foreign exchange rate contracts include gold contracts, cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, outright forward foreign exchange contracts, currency futures and currency options purchased. |
| Equity-linked contracts | Equity-linked contracts include futures, forwards, swaps, purchased options, and similar contracts based on both individual equities as well as on equity indices. |
| Other commodity contracts | Other commodity contracts include futures, forwards, swaps, purchased options, similar derivatives contracts based on precious metals, energy contracts, agricultural contracts, base metals (e.g. aluminum, copper and zinc) and other non-precious metal commodity contracts. |
| Other Contracts | Other contracts (e.g. weather derivatives) includes futures, forwards, swaps, purchased options, similar derivatives contracts based on other underlying exposures. |
Single derivative exposure not covered by an eligible netting contract
Replacement costs, where contracts have individual positive values, are reported in DPAs 2101 and 2104. Total contracts (DPA 2107) should equal the sum of gross reported amounts in DPAs 2101 and 2104.
For all product types, notional amounts should be reported in DPAs 2102 and 2105 and should include all single derivative contracts including contracts with a negative replacement cost.
The PFE is obtained according to section 7.1.7 of Chapter 7 of the Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline The PFE calculation for credit derivatives is broken-down in subsection 2.2 where the total of add-ons for protection bought, DPA 2205 and sold, DPA 2210 is then carried back to DPA 2103.
Single derivative exposure (DPA 2110) equals the alpha of 1.4 multiplied by the sum of Replacement cost – Total Contracts and PFE – Total Contracts i.e. 1.4*(DPA 2107+2109). This amount is then carried back to subsection 1.2, DPA 1201.
Derivative exposure covered by an eligible netting contract
Replacement cost in is calculated according to section 7.1.7.1 of chapter 7 of the CAR Guideline. Replacement cost for derivatives covered by an eligible master netting agreement should be reported in DPAs 2130 for credit derivatives and 2131 for financial derivatives.
Notional amounts of derivative exposure covered by an eligible netting contract should be reported in DPAs 2114 for credit derivatives and in DPA 2119 for financial derivatives. The notional amounts are used to calculate the AGross input of the net add-on formula.
The PFE is calculated according to section 7.1.7.2 of chapter 7 of the CAR Guideline and reported in DPAs 2115 and 2120. The PFE calculation for credit derivatives is detailed in subsection 2.2 with the resulting add-on amount reported in DPA 2115. DPA 2115 should equal the sum of DPAs 2215 and 2220.
The PFE for all contracts reported in DPA 2127 is the sum of the PFE for credit derivatives and financial derivatives found in DPAs 2115 and 2120 respectively.
Exposure for netted derivatives (DPA 2129) equals the alpha of 1.4 multiplied by the sum of the replacement costs and the PFE i.e. 1.4*(DPA 2125+2127). This amount is then carried back to subsection 1.2, DPA 1202.
2. Additional information and treatment for credit derivatives
Add-on calculation for all credit derivatives
Panel A breaks down the PFE calculations for single and netted credit derivatives. Total PFE for single derivatives is the sum of the total add-on for Protection Buyer, DPAs 2205 and Protection Seller, DPA 2210. The same applies to Derivatives eligible for netting i.e. DPAs 2215 and 2220. Total PFE for single derivatives and total PFE for derivatives eligible for netting should be carried back to DPAs 2103 & 2115 respectively.
To avoid overstating the exposure measure for credit derivatives, institutions may choose to deduct from the PFE the individual PFE amounts relating to written credit derivatives which are not already offset and whose notional amount is included in the LR exposure measure. Institutions should reflect this adjustment directly in panel A.
Cash instrument equivalency
The effective notional amounts referenced by written credit derivatives are reported in DPA 2221. Net Notional exposure for written credit derivative is the result of Total written credit derivative – notional minus the eligible offsets of DPAs 2222 & 2223. Any negative change in fair value amount that has been incorporated in the calculation of Tier 1 capital with respect to written credit derivatives may be offset against the notional amount for written credit derivative. The offset should be reported in DPA 2222. The effective notional amount of a purchased credit derivative on the same reference name may further reduce the notional amount; these amounts should be reported in DPA 2223. Further guidance is provided in paragraphs 26-30 of the Guideline. DPA 2224 is carried back to subsection 1.2, DPA 1206.
