Strong fundamentals

While investing in core businesses, CIBC has continued to strengthen key fundamentals. In 2023, CIBC maintained its capital strength and sound risk management practices:

  • Capital ratios were strong, with a CET1 ratio(1) of 12.4% as noted above, and Tier 1(1) and Total capital ratios(1) of 13.9% and 16.0%, respectively, at October 31, 2023;
  • Market risk, as measured by average Value-at-Risk, was $9.2 million in 2023 compared with $8.7 million in 2022;
  • We continued to have solid credit performance, with a loan loss ratio(2) of 30 basis points compared with 14 basis points in 2022;
  • Liquidity Coverage Ratio(1) was 135% for the three months ended October 31, 2023; and
  • Leverage Ratio(1)(3) was 4.2% at October 31, 2023.

CIBC announced an increase in its quarterly common share dividend from $0.87 per share to $0.90 per share for the quarter ending January 31, 2024.

(1)Our capital ratios are calculated pursuant to the OSFI’s CAR Guideline, the leverage ratio is calculated pursuant to OSFI’s Leverage Requirements Guideline, and the liquidity coverage ratio is calculated pursuant to OSFI’s Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline, all of which are based on the BCBS standards. Beginning in the second quarter of 2023, results reflect the impacts from the implementation of Basel III reforms that became effective as of February 1, 2023. For additional information, see the “Capital management” and “Liquidity risk” sections of our 2023 Annual Report available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

(3)The temporary exclusion of Central bank reserves from the leverage ratio exposure measure in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was no longer applicable beginning in the second quarter of 2023.

Credit quality

Provision for credit losses was $541 million for the fourth quarter, up $105 million or 24% from the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was down $154 million, largely due to a more unfavourable change in our economic outlook in the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up $259 million, mainly attributable to Canadian Personal and Business Banking, and U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management.

Making a difference in our Communities

At CIBC, we believe there should be no limits to ambition. We invest our time and resources to remove barriers to ambitions and demonstrate that when we come together, positive change happens that helps our communities thrive. This quarter:

  • More than 50,000 participants, including over 11,000 Team CIBC participants from across the country came together on October 1, 2023 for the Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure. In total, more than $14.5 million was raised, including over $2.4 million by Team CIBC, to assist in advancing breast cancer research, education and support programs.
  • CIBC donated $250,000 to the United Jewish Appeal and the Canadian Red Cross Middle East Humanitarian Crisis Appeal, aimed at supporting immediate and ongoing humanitarian relief efforts, shelter and safety for Israeli and Palestinian civilians affected by the conflict. A further $250,000 was donated by CIBC and its employees through an employee matching program to charities providing aid in the region.
  • CIBC donated $100,000 through the CIBC Foundation Northwest Territories Emergency Relief Fund and the CIBC Foundation British Columbia Emergency Relief Fund to provide immediate and long-term assistance to those affected by the wildfires and evacuation efforts across the Northwest Territories and British Columbia. In addition, $50,000 was donated to provide critical aid to the people of Morocco following a devastating earthquake.
  • To help newcomers learn about their new country and navigate settling in, CIBC announced a partnership with the Institute of Canadian Citizenship (ICC), a national charity that supports newcomers on their journey towards full and active citizenship including through the ICC’s digital app, Canoo. With this partnership, Canoo members will have access to CIBC’s financial tools, advice and resources to help them settle in Canada.

     Provision for credit losses of $282 million was down $23 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to a lower provision for credit losses on performing loans from a more unfavourable change in our economic outlook in the fourth quarter of 2022, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses on impaired loans from higher write-offs and higher impaired balances.

     Revenue of $1,366 million was up $50 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, driven mainly by higher deposit margins, volume growth and higher fees, partially offset by lower loan margins in commercial banking. Revenue in wealth management increased due to higher fee-based asset balances, partially offset by lower net interest income mainly from deposits.

     Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was down 1 basis point primarily due to higher deposit margins that were more than offset by lower loan margins.

     Provision for credit losses of $11 million was down $10 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to lower provisions on both performing loans and impaired loans.

     Non-interest expenses of $679 million were up $21 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher performance-based compensation.

Net income for the quarter was $50 million (US$35 million), down $111 million (down US$81 million) from the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings(4) were $294 million (US$214 million), down $20 million (down US$18 million) from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to higher net interest income, partially offset by higher expenses and lower fee income.

     Revenue of US$492 million was up US$9 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher asset management fees, deposit margins, and loan volumes, partially offset by lower loan margins and deposit volumes.

     Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was down 5 basis points primarily due to lower deposit volumes, partially offset by higher deposit margins.

     Provision for credit losses of US$183 million was up US$107 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher provisions on impaired loans, attributable to the real estate and construction sector. Partially offsetting this increase, provision for credit losses on performing loans was down as the fourth quarter of 2022 included an increased provision resulting from model parameter updates.

     Non-interest expenses of US$284 million were up US$20 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher employee-related compensation.

Reported net income for the quarter was $383 million, compared with reported net income of $378 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings(2) were up $30 million or 6% from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to higher revenue partially offset by higher expenses.

     Revenue of $1,290 million was up $108 million from the fourth quarter of 2022. In global markets, revenue increased due to higher equity derivatives trading and financing revenue. In corporate and investment banking, weaker underwriting and advisory activity and lower investment portfolio gains were partially offset by higher corporate banking revenue. Direct Financial Services revenue increased due to higher deposit margins in Simplii Financial.

     The current quarter included a provision for credit losses of $4 million, up $5 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, mainly attributable to a provision for credit losses on impaired loans. The fourth quarter of 2022 included a provision reversal of credit losses of $1 million.

     Non-interest expenses of $734 million were up $78 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher employee-related costs, including from higher employee termination costs and performance-based compensation.

Net loss for the quarter was $75 million, compared with a net loss of $294 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax losses(3) were down $152 million or 39% from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to higher revenue and lower expenses.

     Revenue was up $86 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to higher treasury revenue, and higher revenue in International banking driven by higher net interest margins and the impact of foreign exchange translation.

     The current quarter included a provision reversal for credit losses of $5 million, down $16 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, attributable to a moderate reversal on both performing loans and impaired loans in International banking. The fourth quarter of 2022 included a provision for credit losses of $11 million, reflective of a provision on impaired loans, partially offset by a moderate provision reversal on performing loans in International banking.

     Non-interest expenses of $333 million were down $167 million from the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted non-interest expenses(3) of $303 million were down $66 million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to lower corporate costs, including from a pension plan amendment gain.

     Income tax benefit was down $50 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to a lower loss.

Non-GAAP measures

We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS or GAAP), 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. Non-GAAP ratios include an adjusted measure as one or more of their components. Non-GAAP ratios include adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted operating leverage, adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted return on common shareholders’ equity and adjusted effective tax rate.

     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 2023 Annual Report available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP (reported) results to non-GAAP (adjusted) results on a segmented basis.

(1)Items of note are removed from reported results to calculate adjusted results.
(2)Adjusted to exclude the impact of items of note. Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures.
(3)CIBC total results excludes a tax equivalent basis (TEB) adjustment of $62 million (July 31, 2023: $66 million; October 31, 2022: $51 million). Our adjusted efficiency ratio and adjusted operating leverage are calculated on a TEB.
(4)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 the beginning of 2022.
(5)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, communication costs and client welcome bonuses. 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, shown as an item of note in the second quarter of 2022 included the stage 1 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.
(6)The income tax charge is comprised of $510 million for the present value of the estimated amount of the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD) tax of $555 million, and a charge of $35 million related to the fiscal 2022 impact of the 1.5% increase in the tax rate applied to taxable income of certain bank and insurance entities in excess of $100 million for periods after April 2022. The discount of$45 million on the CRD tax accretes over the four-year payment period from initial recognition.
(7)Relates to the net legal provisions recognized in the first and second quarters of 2023.

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. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in the “Core business performance”, “Strong fundamentals”, and “Making a difference in our Communities” sections of this news release, and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our 2023 Annual Report under the heading “Economic and market environment – Outlook for calendar year 2024” and other statements about our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management, priorities, targets and sustainability commitments (including with respect to net-zero emissions and our environmental, social and governance (ESG) related activities), ongoing objectives, strategies, the regulatory environment in which we operate and outlook for calendar year 2024 and subsequent periods. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “target”, “predict”, “commit”, “ambition”, “goal”, “strive”, “project”, “objective” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “would” and “could”. By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions, including the economic assumptions set out in the “Economic and market environment – Outlook for calendar year 2024” section of our 2023 Annual Report, as updated by quarterly reports, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. Given the continuing impact of high inflation, rising interest rates, ongoing adverse developments in the U.S. banking sector which adds pressure on liquidity and funding conditions for the financial industry, the impact of hybrid work arrangements and higher interest rates on the U.S. real estate sector, potential recession and the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East 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: inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; geopolitical risk, including from the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East, the occurrence, continuance or intensification of public health emergencies, such as the impact of post-pandemic hybrid work arrangements, 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; exposure to, and the resolution of, significant litigation or regulatory matters, our ability to successfully appeal adverse outcomes of such matters and the timing, determination and recovery of amounts related to such 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 conflict in the Middle East, 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 including the use of data and artificial intelligence in our business; 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 ESG related risks; 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 2023 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. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that is contained in this news release or in other communications except as required by law.
