“We delivered well-diversified growth across our bank in the second quarter as we continued to invest to execute our client-focused strategy and further build on our momentum,” said Victor G. Dodig, President and CEO, CIBC. “Across our bank, we are committed to creating enduring value for all our stakeholders – clients, team members, communities and shareholders and we’re making clear progress on all fronts. We are continuing to: invest to enhance client experience and attract and deepen relationships; attract and retain top talent; generate high quality returns for our shareholders; and, create positive change for our communities. In this regard, as we continue to work closely with our clients and all stakeholders in the transition to a lower-carbon economy, in the quarter we furthered our commitment to enabling a more sustainable future by announcing interim targets for emissions reduction in our oil and gas portfolio. As we go forward, we’ll continue to take a purpose-led approach as we navigate the evolving operating environment.”

Results for the second quarter of 2022 were affected by the following items of note aggregating to a negative impact of $0.15 per share:

$106 million ($77 million after-tax) in acquisition and integration-related costs as well as purchase accounting adjustments and provision for credit losses for performing loans⁽⁴⁾ associated with the acquisition of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio;
$45 million ($33 million after-tax) increase in legal provisions; and
$24 million ($19 million after-tax) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.

Our CET1 ratio⁽³⁾ was 11.7% at April 30, 2022, compared with 12.2% at the end of the prior quarter. CIBC’s leverage ratio⁽³⁾ at April 30, 2022 was 4.2%.

CIBC announced an increase in its quarterly common share dividend from $0.805 per share to $0.830 per share for the quarter ending July 31, 2022.

Core business performance

Canadian Personal and Business Banking reported net income of $496 million for the second quarter, down $107 million or 18% from the second quarter a year ago, primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses and higher expenses, partially offset by higher revenue. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings⁽¹⁾ were $962 million, up $79 million from the second quarter a year ago, mainly due to higher revenue driven by volume growth, including the acquisition of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio, and higher fee income, partially offset by higher expenses. Expenses were higher due to higher spending on strategic initiatives, including the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio, a favourable commodity tax adjustment in the prior year quarter and employee-related compensation.

Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management reported net income of $480 million for the second quarter, up $81 million or 20% from the second quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses and lower provision reversal. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings⁽¹⁾ were $648 million, up $121 million from the second quarter a year ago, primarily due to strong volume growth, higher fee revenue and higher product spreads in commercial banking, while wealth management revenue benefitted from growth in asset balances driven by market appreciation and net sales. Higher expenses were primarily driven by performance-based compensation reflecting favourable business results and higher spending on strategic initiatives.

U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management reported net income of $180 million (US$142 million) for the second quarter, down $36 million (down US$31 million) from the second quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher provision for credit losses and higher expenses, partially offset by higher revenue. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings⁽¹⁾ were $288 million (US$228 million), up $9 million (up US$5 million) from the second quarter a year ago due to higher revenue, primarily driven by volume growth and higher fees, partially offset by higher employee-related and performance-based compensation and business development costs.

(1)	This measure is a non-GAAP measure. For additional information, see the “Non-GAAP measures” section.
(2)	CIBC completed a two-for-one share split of CIBC common shares effective at the close of business on May 13, 2022. All per common share amounts in this news release reflect the Share Split.
(3)	Certain additional disclosures for these specified financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found in the “Non-GAAP measures” section of our Report to Shareholders for the second quarter of 2022 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
(4)	Acquisition and integration costs are comprised of incremental costs incurred as part of planning for and executing the integration of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio, including enabling franchising opportunities, the upgrade and conversion of systems and processes, project delivery and communication costs. Purchase accounting adjustments include the accretion of the acquisition date fair value discount on the acquired Canadian Costco credit card receivables. Provision for credit losses for performing loans associated with the acquisition of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio include the stage 1 expected credit loss (ECL) allowance established immediately after the acquisition date and the impact of the migration of stage 1 accounts to stage 2 during the second quarter of 2022.

Capital Markets reported net income of $540 million for the second quarter, up $45 million or 9% from the second quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenues, partially offset by higher expenses. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings⁽¹⁾ were up $68 million or 10% from the second quarter a year ago, due to higher revenue from our global markets and direct financial services businesses, partially offset by lower revenue in corporate and investment banking, and higher expenses. Expenses were up due to continued higher spending on strategic initiatives and higher employee-related compensation.

Credit quality

Provision for credit losses was $303 million, up $271 million from the same quarter last year. The current quarter included a provision for credit losses on performing loans largely due to the acquisition of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio while the same quarter last year included a provision reversal reflective of a favourable change in our economic outlook. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was down mainly attributable to Canadian Personal and Business Banking.

(1) This measure is a non-GAAP measure. For additional information, see the “Non-GAAP measures” section.

Non-GAAP measures

We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines as described below. Some measures are calculated in accordance with GAAP (International Financial Reporting Standards), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures, which include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios as defined in National Instrument 52-112 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure”, useful in understanding how management views underlying business performance.

Management assesses results on a reported and adjusted basis and considers both as useful measures of performance. Adjusted measures, which include adjusted total revenue, adjusted provision for credit losses, adjusted non-interest expenses, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net income and adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings, remove items of note from reported results to calculate our adjusted results. Adjusted measures represent non-GAAP measures.

Certain additional disclosures for these specified financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found in the “Non-GAAP measures” section of our Report to Shareholders for the second quarter of 2022 available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

(1)	On April 7, 2022, CIBC shareholders approved a two-for-one share split (Share Split) of CIBC’s issued and outstanding common shares. Each shareholder of record at the close of business on May 6, 2022 (Record Date) received one additional share on May 13, 2022 (Payment Date) for every one share held on the Record Date. All common share numbers and per common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Share Split as if it was retroactively applied to all periods presented.
(2)	Items of note are removed from reported results to calculate adjusted results.
(3)	Acquisition and integration costs are comprised of incremental costs incurred as part of planning for and executing the integration of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio, including enabling franchising opportunities, the upgrade and conversion of systems and processes, project delivery and communication costs. Purchase accounting adjustments include the accretion of the acquisition date fair value discount on the acquired Canadian Costco credit card receivables.

A NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including in this news release, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in other reports to shareholders, and in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “target”, “objective” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would” and “could”. By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. Given the continuing impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the war in Ukraine on the global economy, financial markets, and our business, results of operations, reputation and financial condition, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with our assumptions as compared to prior periods. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, affect our operations, performance and results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. These factors include: the occurrence, continuance or intensification of public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and any related government policies and actions; credit, market, liquidity, strategic, insurance, operational, reputation, conduct and legal, regulatory and environmental risk; currency value and interest rate fluctuations, including as a result of market and oil price volatility; the effectiveness and adequacy of our risk management and valuation models and processes; legislative or regulatory developments in the jurisdictions where we operate, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Common Reporting Standard, and regulatory reforms in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s global standards for capital and liquidity reform, and those relating to bank recapitalization legislation and the payments system in Canada; amendments to, and interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions, and interest rate and liquidity regulatory guidance; the resolution of legal and regulatory proceedings and related matters; the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations; changes in our estimates of reserves and allowances; changes in tax laws; changes to our credit ratings; political conditions and developments, including changes relating to economic or trade matters; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine, and terrorism; natural disasters, disruptions to public infrastructure and other catastrophic events; reliance on third parties to provide components of our business infrastructure; potential disruptions to our information technology systems and services; increasing cyber security risks which may include theft or disclosure of assets, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or operational disruption; social media risk; losses incurred as a result of internal or external fraud; anti-money laundering; the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us concerning clients and counterparties; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us and our affiliates or associates; intensifying competition from established competitors and new entrants in the financial services industry including through internet and mobile banking; technological change; global capital market activity; changes in monetary and economic policy; general business and economic conditions worldwide, as well as in Canada, the U.S. and other countries where we have operations, including increasing Canadian household debt levels and global credit risks; climate change and other environmental and social risks; inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; our success in developing and introducing new products and services, expanding existing distribution channels, developing new distribution channels and realizing increased revenue from these channels; changes in client spending and saving habits; our ability to attract and retain key employees and executives; our ability to successfully execute our strategies and complete and integrate acquisitions and joint ventures; the risk that expected benefits of an acquisition, merger or divestiture will not be realized within the expected time frame or at all; and our ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Additional information about these factors can be found in the “Management of risk” section of our 2021 Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports. Any forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting our shareholders and financial analysts in understanding our financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
