In the first quarter of 2025, we delivered another strong financial performance by continuing to execute on our client-focused strategy, which is generating consistent results for our stakeholders. Our diversified business platform, robust capital position and strong credit quality give us the foundation to deliver for stakeholders in the year ahead, including support for our clients as we navigate the expected volatility in the cross-border business environment. We are a strong bank with deep client relationships and we know the clients, companies and industries we serve very well, which positions our team to offer impactful advice and solutions.

Core business performance
Canadian Personal and Business Banking
(1)
reported net income of $765 million for the first quarter, up $51 million or 7% from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses and a higher provision for credit losses. The higher revenue was mainly driven by volume growth, higher net interest margin, and higher fees. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(2)
were $1,470 million, up $150 million from the first quarter a year ago, as higher revenue was partially offset by higher adjusted
(2)
non-interest
expenses mainly due to higher spending on strategic initiatives and employee-related compensation.
Canadian C
ommercial Banking and Wealth Management
(1)
reported net income of $591 million for the first quarter, up $68 million from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses and a higher provision for credit losses. Commercial banking revenue was higher compared to the prior year due to volume growth and higher fee income. In wealth management, the increase in revenue was due to higher
fee-based
revenue from higher average AUA and AUM balances as a result of market appreciation, higher commission revenue from increased client activity, and higher net interest income. Expenses increased primarily due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation, and higher spending on strategic initiatives. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(2)
were $850 million, up $113 million from the first quarter a year ago, as higher revenue was partially offset by higher expenses.
U.S. Commercial Banking
and Wealth Management
(1)
reported net income of $256 million (US$178 million) for the first quarter, up $264 million (US$184 million) from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses, higher revenue, and lower expenses. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(2)
were $382 million (US$267 million), up $79 million (US$42 million) from the first quarter a year ago, as higher adjusted
(2)
non-interest expenses were more than offset by higher revenue. In commercial banking, higher revenue was primarily due to higher deposit and loan volumes, and higher loan margins, partially offset by lower deposit margins. Higher revenues in wealth management were primarily due to higher annual performance-based mutual fund fees, and higher fee-based revenue from higher average AUM balances from market appreciation. Adjusted
(2)
non-interest
expenses increased mainly due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation.
Capital
Markets
(1)
reported net income of $619 million for the first quarter, up $97 million or 19% from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and a higher provision for credit losses. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings
(2)
were up $201 million or 30% from the first quarter a year ago due to higher revenue from our global markets and corporate and investment banking businesses, partially offset by higher expenses. Global markets revenue benefitted from higher equity derivatives trading and higher financing revenue. Corporate and investment banking revenue benefitted from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and higher debt underwriting activity, partially offset by lower advisory revenue. Expenses were up due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation, and higher spending on strategic initiatives.

Making a difference in our communities

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 report, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the SEC 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 “Financial performance overview – Economic outlook”, “Financial performance overview – Significant events”, “Financial performance overview – Financial results review”, “Financial performance overview – Review of quarterly financial information”, “Financial condition – Capital management”, “Management of risk – Risk overview”, “Management of risk – Top and emerging risks”, “Management of risk – Credit risk”, “Management of risk – Market risk”, “Management of risk – Liquidity risk”, and “Accounting and control matters – Critical accounting policies and estimates” sections of this report and other statements about our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management, priorities, targets and sustainability commitments (including with respect to our 2050 net-zero ambition and our environmental, social and governance (ESG) related activities), ongoing objectives, strategies, the regulatory environment in which we operate and outlook for calendar year 2025 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 “Financial performance overview – Economic outlook” section of this report, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. Given the potential imposition of U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods and energy and Canadian counter-tariffs on U.S. goods, and the continuing impact of hybrid work arrangements and high interest rates on the U.S. real estate sector, 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: trade policies and tensions, including tariffs; inflationary pressures in the U.S.; 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 such as tariffs; 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 including our ability to implement various sustainability-related initiatives internally and with our clients under expected time frames and our ability to scale our sustainable finance products and services; 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. Any forward-looking statements contained in this report 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 report or in other communications except as required by law.

External reporting changes
 
Changes made to our business segments
The following external reporting changes were made in the first quarter of 2025:
 
Our Simplii Financial direct banking business and Investor’s Edge direct investing business, previously reported in Capital Markets and Direct Financial Services have been realigned with Canadian Personal and Business Banking and Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, respectively; and
 
Our CIBC Cleary Gull U.S. mid-market investment banking business has been realigned from Capital Markets to U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management.
Prior period amounts have been restated accordingly. While the changes impacted the results of our strategic business units (SBUs) and how we measure the performance of our SBUs, there was no impact on our consolidated financial results from these changes.
Financial performance overview
Economic outlook
Lower interest rates, with further declines likely in some countries, should be supportive for economic activity this year, but we are unlikely to see a significant acceleration in global growth in 2025. Europe should see a pick-up in activity generated by easier monetary policy, including additional rate cuts in 2025 in the eurozone and the U.K., but China is likely to decelerate in the face of tariffs imposed on its exports and soft domestic demand. The moderate growth for the global economy will result in many commodity prices trending at lower average levels than what persisted earlier in this expansion, although geopolitical risks to supply could bring upward pressure in some commodities. Despite ongoing global tensions, supply chains have seen further improvement and, alongside sluggish demand, should continue to contribute to disinflationary pressure globally.
In Canada, the Bank of Canada reduced its overnight rate target to 3%, and with inflation expected to remain close to the 2% target, is expected to continue to ease, with the overnight rate reaching 2.25% by mid-2025. That should support consumer demand and housing activity, but uncertainties over U.S. trade policy could weigh on business capital spending and economic growth through the first half of the year, and see the unemployment rate reverse the declines seen at the start of the year. If major U.S. tariffs on Canada are avoided, an improvement in confidence should allow economic growth to accelerate in the latter half of the calendar year, bringing economic growth for 2025 to roughly 1.5%, slightly above the prior year’s pace, and allow the unemployment rate to end the year near 6.3%. A two-way trade war would represent a significant hit to growth and would push the jobless rate higher over the year. The full impact of a two-way trade war would depend on a number of factors including the level and duration of tariffs, and fiscal and monetary policies that might be enacted to mitigate their impact.
The U.S. has been much more resilient in the face of higher interest rates, and was close to full employment at the start of the year. Slowing population growth, and the lagged impact of still-elevated real interest rates, could hold economic growth to 2.4%, or about a half point slower than the prior year. The unemployment rate is expected to remain relatively stable over the course of the year, as more cautious hiring in the face of higher labour costs will be offset by a slower pace of growth in the working age population. The Federal Reserve is expected to pause its interest rate cutting while it awaits a further deceleration in inflation and greater certainty on the direction of U.S. tariff policies and budget deficits. If changes on those fronts are modest, it could ease by a further 75 basis points in the latter half the year. Lower bond yields should allow interest sensitive housing to gain momentum, and lighter regulatory policies should also support business investment, partially offsetting a slower pace to consumer spending due to softer population growth. A two-way tariff war would see somewhat weaker growth and higher inflation than our base case forecast.
The uncertainties surrounding Canadian economic growth will continue to pose challenges for some of our SBUs for the first half of 2025 or longer, should material tariffs be imposed on the country’s exports. Still-elevated levels of unemployment and the lagged effects of higher interest rates have resulted in a moderate deterioration in business and household credit quality, but that would improve over the course of the year if a major trade war is averted. Deterioration in the credit quality of select sectors, including the U.S. office real estate market, could continue in response to market conditions. Deposit growth will likely be slow, as quantitative tightening will continue to require bonds currently held by the central bank to be financed in the public markets. A steeper yield curve should promote greater growth in longer-term deposits relative to short-term deposits, although the lower level of yields across the curve will leave less of a disincentive to having funds in non-interest bearing demand deposits.
For Canadian Personal Banking, mortgage growth is expected to pick up in 2025, returning to long-term historic growth rates as lower interest rates bring buyers back to the market. Non-mortgage consumer credit demand has been supported by population growth, and faces headwinds due to policy measures designed to slow population growth. We should still see some improvement in activity as per capita discretionary spending accelerates in response to lower borrowing costs, resulting in an increase in demand for non-mortgage credit, if a major trade war is averted.
Canadian commercial, and corporate banking loan growth is expected to increase as a result of interest rate relief and the expectation of better economic growth in 2025 and beyond if a major trade war is averted. In our U.S. commercial banking and wealth businesses, loan growth has slowed, consistent with industry trends, but should gather some momentum in 2025 in response to last year’s interest rate reductions and a further easing later this year.
Financial markets benefitted from interest rate reductions in Canada and should be supported by further rate reductions in the current year. While soft economic conditions and tariff uncertainties will impact corporate earnings in the near-term, Canadian and U.S. wealth management businesses should benefit in 2025 as markets look ahead to a more supportive interest rate environment, and as funds mature out of term deposits and seek alternative risk assets in the face of lower yields on new term deposits.
Corporate and investment banking is expected to continue to benefit from merger and acquisition activity that continues to recover from the low levels in 2024, and corporate bond issuance is expected to pick up through 2025 due to the expected lower interest rate path.
The economic outlook described above reflects numerous assumptions regarding the level and duration of potential tariffs, fiscal and monetary policies that may be enacted in response to tariffs, the expectation for lower interest rates even in the absence of a trade war, the easing of inflationary pressures, as well as the global economic risks emanating from the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and trade frictions between China and other countries. As a result, actual experience may differ materially from expectations. The impact of geopolitical events on our risk environment, are discussed in the “Top and emerging risks” section. Changes in the level of economic uncertainty continue to impact key accounting estimates and assumptions, particularly the estimation of expected credit losses (ECL). See the “Accounting and control matters” section and Note 5 to our interim consolidated financial statements for further details.

  CIBC FIRST QUARTER 2025

Table of Contents
Provision for credit losses was $573 million, down $12 million from the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up primarily due to a worsening in our economic outlook including with respect to the uncertainty that tariffs could be imposed by the U.S. government and model parameter updates in our retail portfolios. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was down due to lower provisions in U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, and Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, partially offset by higher provisions in other SBUs.
Provision for credit losses was up $154 million from the prior quarter. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up primarily due to a worsening in our overall economic outlook including with respect to the uncertainty that tariffs could be imposed by the U.S. government and model parameter updates in our retail portfolios, partially offset by a favourable change in our economic outlook in our retail portfolios, even after considering downside risks related to the tariffs. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up due to higher provisions in U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, Canadian Personal and Business Banking, and Corporate and Other, partially offset by lower provisions in other SBUs.
Non-interest
expenses
Non-interest
expenses were up $413 million or 12% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation, higher spending on strategic initiatives and a legal provision in the current quarter, partially offset by a charge related to the special assessment imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the prior year, which was shown as an item of note.
Non-interest
expenses were up $87 million or 2% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation, including from the impact of foreign exchange translation, a legal provision in the current quarter, partially offset by lower computer, software and office equipment expenses, lower advertising and business development.
Taxes
Income tax expense was up $216 million or 49% from the same quarter last year, due to higher income, the denial of the dividends received deduction for Canadian banks, and the application of global minimum tax, as described below.
Income tax expense was up $134 million or 26% from the prior quarter, due to higher income and the application of global minimum tax.
On June 20, 2024, Canada enacted the
Global Minimum Tax Act
(GMTA) to adopt the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation
and Development’s (OECD) Pillar Two, which implements a 15% global minimum corporate tax on certain multinational enterprises (GMT). GMT is in different stages of adoption globally. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate have implemented GMT, which applied to CIBC as of November 1, 2024.
The impact of GMT on the consolidated effective tax rate is within a 1% range in the first quarter of 2025.

Commencing in the third quarter of 2024, TEB reporting is no longer applicable to certain dividends received on or after January 1, 2024. In the third quarter of 2024, the enactment of the denial of the dividends received deduction resulted in a TEB reversal for dividends received on or after January 1, 2024 that were reflected in the first and second quarters of 2024 as an item of note. Prior to the third quarter of 2024, Capital Markets revenue and income taxes were reported on a TEB with an equivalent offset in the revenue and income taxes of Corporate and Other.

Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The second quarter has fewer days as compared with the other quarters, generally leading to lower earnings. The summer months (July – third quarter and August – fourth quarter) typically experience lower levels of market activity, which affects our brokerage, investment management, and capital markets activities.
Revenue
Revenue in our lending and deposit-taking businesses is generally driven by volume growth, fees related to client transaction activity and the interest rate environment. Our wealth management businesses are driven by net sales activity impacting AUA and AUM, the level of client investment activity and market conditions. Capital markets revenue is also influenced, to a large extent, by market conditions affecting client trading, underwriting and advisory activity.
Canadian Personal and Business Banking has benefitted from loan and deposit growth through the periods presented above, driven by client growth, and deepening relationships across our client base. The elevated long-term rate environment has contributed to slower growth in loans and improved net interest margin, through wider deposit margins and favourable business mix, partially offset by compressed loan margins.
Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management revenue has benefitted from commercial banking volume growth and positive investor sentiment in wealth management. In commercial banking, revenue growth has been driven by client demand that has rebounded since the third quarter of 2024. In wealth management, AUA and AUM growth and associated fee income have been helped by market appreciation, despite recent volatility.
U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management revenue has benefitted from AUA and AUM growth, which has been positively impacted by market appreciation, despite recent market volatility, and stable growth in our core businesses. Deposit balances decreased in the second and third quarters of 2023, which was accompanied by a shift in deposit mix due to the interest rate environment, but average balances increased in the most recent five quarters. Loans declined in the fourth quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2024, with a return to growth in the second quarter of 2024, although revolver usage remains low.
Capital Markets had lower trading revenue in the third and fourth quarters of 2023, and second and fourth quarters of 2024. The first quarters of 2024 and 2025 had higher trading revenue driven by robust market conditions and strong client activity. The third quarter of 2024 included a TEB reversal related to the denial of the dividends received deduction for Canadian banks, shown as an item of note.
Corporate and Other included the impact of higher net interest margins in International banking from rising interest rates until the third quarter of 2024. Starting in the second quarter of 2023, funding costs increased due to interest rate volatility, which negatively impacted Corporate and Other. The negative impact lessened as the increased funding costs were passed on to the SBUs over time. Higher revenue in the third quarter of 2024 included a TEB offset reversal related to the denial of the dividends received deduction for Canadian banks, shown as an item of note.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses is dependent upon the credit cycle, on the credit performance of the loan portfolios, and changes in our economic outlook. We have been operating in an uncertain macroeconomic environment due to elevated levels of interest rates and inflation, geopolitical events, slower economic growth and adverse impacts of potential tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. There is considerable judgment involved in the estimation of expected credit losses in the current environment.
The faster than expected pace of interest rate increases, along with rising inflation, continued supply chain disruption and the increase in global geopolitical concerns, impacted our provision for credit losses on performing loans in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. Unfavourable credit migration also impacted our provision for credit losses in all quarters in 2023, and in the first, second and third quarters of 2024. An unfavourable change in our outlook for the U.S. real estate and construction sector contributed to an increase in provision for credit losses on performing loans in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024. Uncertainty over the potential for tariffs to be imposed by the U.S. government also resulted in an allowance increase in the first quarter of 2025.
In Canadian Personal and Business Banking, provisions on impaired loans continue to trend higher as expected, due to the unfavourable macro environments for the retail portfolios.
In Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, the second and third quarters of 2023, and the third quarter of 2024 included higher provisions on impaired loans.
In U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, the provisions on impaired loans over the past two years were mainly attributable to the real estate and construction sector.
In Capital Markets, the third and fourth quarters of 2024 included higher provisions on impaired loans.
In Corporate and Other, provisions for impaired loans in International banking have remained relatively stable. The fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024 included provision reversals.
Non-interest
expenses
Non-interest
expenses have fluctuated over the period largely due to changes in employee compensation expenses, investments in strategic initiatives and movement in foreign exchange rates. The first and second quarters of 2024 included a charge related to the special assessment imposed by the FDIC, shown as an item of note. The second quarter of 2023 included a decrease in legal provisions in Corporate and Other, shown as items of note and the first quarter of 2025 included a legal provision, and the fourth quarter of 2023 included an impairment of our intangible assets, shown as an item of note.
Income taxes
Income taxes vary with changes in taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the income is earned. The third quarter of 2024 included an income tax charge related to the denial of the dividends received deduction for Canadian banks, which was shown as an item of note.

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 (IFRS), 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.
Adjusted measures
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 and adjusted net income, in addition to the adjusted measures noted below, remove items of note from reported results to calculate our adjusted results. Items of note include the amortization of intangible assets, and certain items of significance that arise from time to time which management believes are not reflective of underlying business performance. We believe that adjusted measures provide the reader with a better understanding of how management assesses underlying business performance and facilitates a more informed analysis of trends. While we believe that adjusted measures may facilitate comparisons between our results and those of some of our Canadian peer banks, which make similar adjustments in their public disclosure, it should be noted that there is no standardized meaning for adjusted measures under GAAP.
Prior to the third quarter of 2024, we also adjusted our SBU results to gross up tax-exempt revenue on certain securities to a TEB, being the amount of fully taxable revenue, which, were it to have incurred tax at the statutory income tax rate, would yield the same after-tax revenue. In the third quarter of 2024, with the enactment of the denial of the dividends received deduction for Canadian banks in respect of dividends received on Canadian shares (applicable as of January 1, 2024), TEB is no longer being applied to these dividends. In addition, TEB recognized in the first and second quarters of 2024 on impacted dividends was reversed in the third quarter of 2024. See the “Strategic business units overview” section and Note 30 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report for further details.
Adjusted diluted EPS
We adjust our reported diluted EPS to remove the impact of items of note, net of income taxes, to calculate the adjusted EPS.
Adjusted efficiency ratio
We adjust our reported revenue and
non-interest
expenses to remove the impact of items of note.
Adjusted operating leverage
We adjust our reported revenue and
non-interest
expenses to remove the impact of items of note.
Adjusted dividend payout ratio
We adjust our reported net income attributable to common shareholders to remove the impact of items of note, net of income taxes, to calculate the adjusted dividend payout ratio.
Adjusted return on common shareholders’ equity
We adjust our reported net income attributable to common shareholders to remove the impact of items of note, net of income taxes, to calculate the adjusted return on common shareholders’ equity.
Adjusted effective tax rate
We adjust our reported income before income taxes and reported income taxes to remove the impact of items of note, to calculate the adjusted effective tax rate.
Pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
Pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings is calculated as revenue net of
non-interest
expenses, and provides the reader with an assessment of our ability to generate earnings to cover credit losses through the credit cycle, as well as an additional basis for comparing underlying business performance between periods by excluding the impact of provision for credit losses, which involves the application of judgments and estimates related to matters that are uncertain and can vary significantly between periods. We adjust our
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings to remove the impact of items of note to calculate the adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings. As discussed above, we believe that adjusted measures provide the reader with a better understanding of how management assesses underlying business performance and facilitates a more informed analysis of trends.
Allocated common equity
Common equity is allocated to the SBUs based on the estimated amount of regulatory capital required to support their businesses (as determined for the consolidated bank pursuant to OSFI’s regulatory capital requirements and internal targets). Unallocated common equity is reported in Corporate and Other. Allocating capital on this basis provides a consistent framework to evaluate the returns of each SBU commensurate with the risk assumed. For additional information, see the “Risks arising from business activities” section.
Segmented return on equity
We use return on equity on a segmented basis as one of the measures for performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions. While return on equity for total CIBC provides a measure of return on common equity, return on equity on a segmented basis provides a similar metric based on allocated common equity to our SBUs. As a result, segmented return on equity is a
non-GAAP
ratio. Segmented return on equity is calculated as net income attributable to common shareholders for each SBU expressed as a percentage of average allocated common equity, which is the average of monthly allocated common equity during the period.

Table of Contents
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses
Provision for credit losses was up $91 million from the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up primarily due to model parameter updates. An improvement in our outlook with respect to the impact of lower interest rates on the portfolio was partially offset by uncertainty with respect to tariffs that could be imposed by the U.S. government. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up, primarily due to higher write-offs in credit cards.
Provision for credit losses was up $148 million from the prior quarter. The current quarter included a provision for credit losses on performing loans due to model parameter updates and uncertainty that tariffs could be imposed by the U.S. government, while the prior quarter included a modest provision reversal. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up, primarily due to a higher provision in residential mortgages.

expenses
Non-interest
expenses were up $94 million or 7% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher spending on strategic initiatives, and employee-related compensation.
Non-interest
expenses were down $3 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower spending on strategic initiatives, partially offset by higher employee-related compensation.

  CIBC FIRST QUARTER 2025

Table of Contents
Revenue
Revenue was up $266 million or 19% from the same quarter last year.
Commercial banking revenue was up $54 million, primarily due to volume growth and higher fee income.
Wealth management revenue was up $212 million, primarily due to higher
fee-based
revenue from higher average AUA and AUM balances attributable to market appreciation, higher commission revenue from increased client activity and higher net interest income.
Revenue was up $101 million or 6% from the prior quarter.
Commercial banking revenue was up $38 million, primarily due to volume growth, higher loan and deposit margins and higher fee income.
Wealth management revenue was up $63 million, primarily due to higher
fee-based
revenue from higher average AUA and AUM balances attributable to market appreciation and higher net interest income.
Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was down 64 basis points from the same quarter last year primarily due to the impact from the conversion of bankers’ acceptances to CORRA loans resulting from the cessation of CDOR and was up 9 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher deposit margin.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was up $19 million from the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up primarily due to an unfavourable change in our economic outlook, including with respect to the uncertainty that tariffs could be imposed by the U.S. government. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was down modestly compared with the same quarter last year.
Provision for credit losses was up $15 million from the prior quarter. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up as the prior quarter included an allowance release resulting from model parameter updates, and as a result of an unfavourable change in our economic outlook, including with respect to the uncertainty that tariffs could be imposed by the U.S. government. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was down due to lower provisions in the hardware and software sector.
Non-interest
expenses
Non-interest
expenses were up $153 million or 22% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher performance-based compensation, higher spending on strategic initiatives and higher employee-related compensation.

Financial overview
Net income for the quarter was $256 million (US$178 million), up $264 million (US$184 million) from the same quarter last year, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses, higher revenue, and lower
non-interest
expenses.
Net income was up $56 million (US$31 million) from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher revenue and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher
non-interest
expenses.
Revenue
Revenue was up US$81 million or 16% from the same quarter last year.
Commercial banking revenue was up US$44 million, primarily due to volume growth and higher loan margins, partially offset by lower deposit margins.
Wealth management revenue was up US$37 million, primarily due to higher annual performance-based mutual fund fees, and higher fee-based revenue from higher average AUM balances attributable to market appreciation.
Revenue was up US$54 million or 10% from the prior quarter.
Commercial banking revenue was up US$19 million, primarily due to volume growth and higher deposit margins, partially offset by lower loan margins.
Wealth management revenue was up US$35 million, primarily due to higher annual performance-based mutual fund fees.
Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was up 29 basis points from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher deposit volumes and higher margins.
Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was up 15 basis points from the prior quarter, primarily due to volume growth, higher margins and favourable business mix.
Provision for (reversal of) credit losses
Provision for credit losses was down US$134 million from the same quarter last year. The current quarter included a provision reversal on performing loans primarily due to favourable credit migration within the performing portfolio and an allowance release for credit migration from the performing to the impaired portfolio, while the same quarter last year included a provision for credit losses due to an unfavourable change in our economic outlook and an unfavourable impact resulting from model parameter updates, partially offset by an allowance release for credit migration from the performing to the impaired portfolio. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was down due to lower provisions in the real estate and construction sector.
Provision for credit losses was down US$13 million from the prior quarter. Provision reversal on performing loans was up primarily due to the movements in the current quarter mentioned above. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up due to higher provisions in the real estate and construction sector.
Non-interest
expenses
Non-interest
expenses were down US$30 million or 8% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to a US$67 million charge related to the special assessment imposed by the FDIC reported in the prior year, which was shown as an item of note, partially offset by higher spending on performance-based and employee-related compensation.
Non-interest
expenses were up US$25 million or 8% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation.

Assets
As at January 31, 2025, total assets were up $40.5 billion or 4% from October 31, 2024, including approximately $17.8 billion due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar.
Cash and deposits with banks was comparable.
Securities increased by $18.7 billion or 7%, primarily due to increases in equity trading securities, debt security portfolios in our Treasury and trading businesses, and mortgage-backed securities.
Securities borrowed and purchased under resale agreements increased by $4.0 billion or 4%, primarily due to client-driven activities.
Loans and acceptances, net of allowance for credit losses, increased by $9.8 billion or 2%, primarily due to increases in business and government loans, including the impact of foreign exchange translation, and the Canadian residential mortgage portfolio.
Derivative instruments increased by $2.1 billion or 6%, largely driven by an increase in foreign exchange derivatives valuation, partially offset by a decrease in equity and other commodity derivatives valuation.
Other assets increased by $6.1 billion or 14%, primarily due to increases in collateral pledged for derivatives and broker receivables.
Liabilities
As at January 31, 2025, total liabilities were up $37.9 billion or 4% from October 31, 2024, including approximately $17.5 billion due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar.
Deposits increased by $17.3 billion or 2%, primarily due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar in business and government deposits and retail volume growth. Further details on the composition of deposits are provided in Note 7 to our interim consolidated financial statements.
Obligations related to securities lent, sold short and under repurchase agreements increased by $17.5 billion or 13%, primarily due to
client-driven
activities.
Derivative instruments increased by $4.2 billion or 10%, largely driven by an increase in foreign exchange derivatives valuation.
Other liabilities decreased by $1.3 billion or 4%, primarily due to a decrease in settlement of employee compensation and broker client payables.
Subordinated indebtedness was comparable. For further details see the “Capital management” section.
Equity
As at January 31, 2025, equity increased by $2.6 billion or 4% from October 31, 2024, primarily due to a net increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) mainly resulting from net foreign currency translation gains related to our net investment in foreign operations and net gains on cash flow hedges, a net increase in retained earnings from net income that exceeded dividends and distributions and the impact of shares repurchased and cancelled under a normal course issuer bid (NCIB), and the issuance of Limited Recourse Capital Notes (LRCN), partially offset by the redemption of preferred shares.

Capital management
Our overall capital management objective is to maintain a strong and efficient capital base. For additional details on capital management, see pages 35 to 43 of our 2024 Annual Report.
Regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements
Our regulatory capital requirements are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI, which are based upon the capital standards developed by the BCBS.
Regulatory capital consists of CET1, Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. Qualifying regulatory capital instruments must be capable of absorbing loss at the point of
non-viability
of the financial institution.
The tiers of regulatory capital indicate increasing quality/permanence and the ability to absorb losses. The major components of our regulatory capital are summarized as follows:
 
 
 
(1)
Excluding AOCI relating to cash flow hedges and changes to fair value option (FVO) liabilities attributable to changes in own credit risk.
OSFI requires all institutions to achieve target capital ratios which include buffers. Targets may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion. CIBC has been designated by OSFI as a domestic systemically important bank
(D-SIB)
in Canada.
D-SIBs
are subject to a CET1 surcharge equal to 1.0% of RWA. In addition, OSFI expects
D-SIBs
to hold a Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) requirement intended to address Pillar 2 risks that are not adequately captured in the Pillar 1 capital requirements. The DSB is currently at 3.5% of RWA but can range from 0.0% to 4.0% of RWA. Additionally, banks need to hold an incremental countercyclical capital buffer equal to their weighted-average buffer requirement in Canada and across certain other jurisdictions where they have private sector credit exposures.
In addition, the Basel III capital standards include a
non-risk-based
capital metric, the leverage ratio, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. The leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by the leverage ratio exposure. The leverage ratio exposure is defined under the standards as the sum of:
(i)
On-balance
sheet assets less Tier 1 capital regulatory adjustments;
(ii)
Derivative exposures;
(iii)
Securities financing transaction exposures; and
(iv)
Off-balance
sheet exposures (such as commitments, direct credit substitutes, letters of credit, and securitization exposures).
Under OSFI’s TLAC guideline,
D-SIBs
are required to maintain a supervisory target TLAC ratio (which builds on the risk-based capital ratios) and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio (which builds on the leverage ratio). TLAC is defined as the aggregate of total capital and other TLAC instruments primarily comprised of
bail-in
eligible instruments with a residual maturity greater than 365 days. TLAC is required to ensure that a
non-viable
D-SIB
has sufficient loss absorbing capacity to support its recapitalization. This would, in turn, facilitate an orderly resolution of the
D-SIB
while minimizing adverse impacts on the financial sector stability and taxpayers.
OSFI’s current regulatory capital and TLAC targets are summarized below. Targets may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion. We are in compliance with all current capital, leverage and TLAC requirements imposed by OSFI.

Continuous enhancement to regulatory capital and TLAC requirements
We continue to monitor and prepare for developments impacting regulatory capital and TLAC requirements and disclosures. The discussion below provides a summary of Basel III reforms and revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements and BCBS and OSFI publications that have been issued since our 2024 Annual Report.
Basel III reforms and revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements
We calculate a capital floor based on the revised standardized approaches as part of the implementation of the Basel III reforms. If our capital requirement is lower than that calculated by reference to the standardized approaches with a floor adjustment factor applied, an adjustment to our RWA would be required. The floor adjustment factor was originally scheduled to phase in over a three-year period commencing in the second quarter of 2023 at 65.0%, followed by an increase of 2.5% per year until it reaches 72.5% in 2026. In July 2024, OSFI announced a one-year delay to the increase. Subsequently, on February 12, 2025, OSFI announced an indefinite deferral to the increases of the floor adjustment factor, holding the factor at the existing level of 67.5% until further notice. OSFI also committed to notifying affected banks at least two years prior to resuming an increase in the capital floor level.
Regulatory capital, leverage and TLAC ratios
Our capital and TLAC positions remain above OSFI regulatory requirements. Our capital, leverage and TLAC ratios are presented in the table below:

CET1 ratio
The CET1 ratio at January 31, 2025 increased 0.2% from October 31, 2024, driven by an increase in CET1 capital, partially offset by an increase in RWA.
The increase in CET1 capital was mainly due to internal capital generation (net income less dividends and distributions) and the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by shares repurchased and cancelled under an NCIB.
The increase in RWA was due to increases in credit risk and operational risk RWA, partially offset by a decrease in market risk RWA. The increase in credit risk RWA was mainly due to foreign currency translation, credit portfolio migration and organic growth, partially offset by model updates. The increase in operational risk RWA was due to an increase in risk levels. The decrease in market risk RWA was mainly due to decreases in risk levels.
Tier 1 capital ratio
The Tier 1 capital ratio at January 31, 2025 increased 0.3% from October 31, 2024, primarily due to the factors affecting the CET1 ratio noted above, and the issuances of LRCN Series 5 Notes, partially offset by the redemption of Series 41 shares. See the “Capital initiatives” section for further details.
Total capital ratio
The Total capital ratio at January 31, 2025 increased 0.3% from October 31, 2024, primarily due to the factors affecting the Tier 1 capital ratio noted above and an increase in eligible allowances included in Tier 2 capital.
Leverage ratio
The leverage ratio at January 31, 2025 was comparable to October 31, 2024, as the increase in leverage ratio exposure was largely offset by an increase in the Tier 1 capital discussed above. The increase in leverage ratio exposure was primarily driven by an increase in
on-balance
sheet securities financing transactions, and off-balance sheet exposures.
TLAC ratio and TLAC leverage ratio
The TLAC ratio at January 31, 2025 increased 1.1% from October 31, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in total TLAC instruments, partially offset by an increase in RWA. The increase in TLAC instruments was primarily a result of higher level of
bail-in
eligible liabilities, and higher total capital due to the factors noted above.
The TLAC leverage ratio at January 31, 2025 increased 0.2% from October 31, 2024, primarily due to the increase in TLAC instruments, partially offset by higher leverage ratio exposure due to the factors noted above.

Capital initiatives
The following were the main capital initiatives undertaken in 2025:
Normal course issuer bid (NCIB)
On September 6, 2024, we announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange had accepted the notice of our intention to commence an NCIB. Purchases under this bid will be completed upon the earlier of: (i) CIBC purchasing 20 million common shares; (ii) CIBC providing a notice of termination; or (iii) September 9, 2025. 3,500,000 common shares have been purchased and cancelled during the quarter at an average price of $91.59 for a total amount of $320 million. Since the inception of this NCIB, 8,500,000 common shares have been purchased and cancelled for a total amount of $739 million.
Employee share purchase plan
Commencing October 11, 2024, employee contributions to our Canadian Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) were used to acquire common shares in the open market. Previously, these shares were issued from Treasury.
Shareholder investment plan
Commencing with dividends paid on January 28, 2025, and for future dividends declared until further notice, common shares received by participants under the shareholder investment plan will be purchased from the open market. For the share purchase option, this change became effective February 1, 2025.
Dividends
Common and preferred share dividends are declared quarterly at the discretion of the CIBC Board of Directors. The declaration and payment of dividends is governed by Section 79 of the
Bank Act
(Canada) and the terms of the preferred shares, as explained in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report.
Limited Recourse Capital Notes Series 5 (NVCC) (subordinated indebtedness) (LRCN Series 5 Notes)
On November 5, 2024, we issued USD$500 million principal amount of 6.950% LRCN Series 5 Notes. The LRCN Series 5 Notes mature on January 28, 2085, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.950% per annum (paid quarterly) until January 28, 2030. Starting on January 28, 2030, and every five years thereafter until January 28, 2080, the interest rate will be reset to the then current five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 2.833% per annum.
Concurrently with the issuance of the LRCN Series 5 Notes, we issued
Non-Cumulative
5-Year
Fixed Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 59 (NVCC) (the Series 59 Preferred Shares), which are held in the Limited Recourse Trust that is consolidated by CIBC and, as a result, the Series 59 Preferred Shares are eliminated in CIBC’s consolidated financial statements. In the event of
non-payment
by CIBC of the principal amount of, interest on, or redemption price for, the LRCN Series 5 Notes when due, the sole remedy of each LRCN Series 5 Note holder is limited to that holder’s proportionate share of the Series 59 Preferred Shares held in the Limited Recourse Trust. Subject to regulatory approval, we may redeem the LRCN Series 5 Notes, in whole or in part, on each January 28, April 28, July 28, and October 28, commencing on January 28, 2030, at par.
Preferred shares
On January 31, 2025, we redeemed all 12 million Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 41 (NVCC) (Series 41 shares), at a redemption price of $25.00 per Series 41 share, for a total redemption cost of $300 million.
Subordinated indebtedness
On January 22, 2025, we announced the redemption of all US$10 million of our Floating Rate Subordinated Capital Debentures due 2085 on February 28, 2025. In accordance with their terms, the Debentures will be redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
On January 31, 2025, we redeemed all US$38 million of our Floating Rate Subordinated Capital Debentures due 2084. In accordance with their terms, the Debentures were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Not applicable.
The occurrence of a “Trigger Event” would result in conversion of all of the outstanding NVCC instruments described above into a maximum of approximately 6.4 billion common shares, in aggregate, which would represent a dilution impact of 87% based on the number of CIBC common shares and NVCC instruments outstanding as at January 31, 2025. As described in the CAR Guideline, a Trigger Event occurs when OSFI determines the bank is or is about to become
non-viable
and, if after conversion of all contingent instruments and consideration of any other relevant factors or circumstances, it is reasonably likely that its viability will be restored or maintained; or if the bank has accepted or agreed to accept a capital injection or equivalent support from a federal or provincial government, without which OSFI would have determined the bank to be
non-viable.
Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, Class A Preferred Shares Series 43, 47, 56 and 57 will be converted into a number of common shares, determined by dividing the par value plus accrued and unpaid interest by the average common share price (as defined in the relevant prospectus supplements) subject to a minimum price of $2.50 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events as defined in the relevant prospectus supplements). Series 53, 54, 55, 58 and 59 Preferred Shares held in the Limited Recourse Trust, will automatically and immediately be converted, without the consent of LRCN Note holders, into a variable number of common shares which will be delivered to LRCN Note holders in satisfaction of the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the LRCNs. All claims of LRCN Note holders against CIBC under the LRCNs will be extinguished upon receipt of such common shares. The Debentures are convertible into a number of common shares, determined by dividing 150% of the par value plus accrued and unpaid interest by the average common share price (as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement) subject to a minimum price of $2.50 per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement).
In addition to the potential dilution impacts related to the NVCC instruments discussed above, as at January 31, 2025, $66.2 billion (October 31, 2024: $61.1 billion) of our outstanding liabilities were subject to conversion under the
bail-in
regime. Under the
bail-in
regime, there is no fixed and
pre-determined
contractual conversion ratio for the conversion of the specified eligible shares and liabilities of CIBC that are subject to a
bail-in
conversion into common shares, nor are there specific requirements regarding whether liabilities subject to a
bail-in
conversion are converted into common shares of CIBC or any of its affiliates. Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) determines the timing of the
bail-in
conversion, the portion of the specified eligible shares and liabilities to be converted and the terms and conditions of the conversion, subject to parameters set out in the
bail-in
regime.
See the “Regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements” section for further details.

Global systemically important banks – public disclosure requirements
The following disclosure is required by OSFI pursuant to the Advisory: “Global systemically important banks – Public disclosure requirements”. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB) identify global systemically important banks
(G-SIBs).
CIBC is a federally regulated bank but has not been identified as a
G-SIB.
However, federally regulated banks that have leverage ratio exposure measures greater than the equivalent of
200 billion at
year-end
are required to publicly disclose at a minimum 13 indicators (in Canadian equivalent values) annually used to identify
G-SIBs.
The indicators are calculated based on specific instructions issued by the BCBS, which are updated annually, and in accordance with regulatory scope of consolidation. As a result, values may not be directly comparable against other measures disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

The following table provides the 13 indicators used in the BCBS assessment methodology to identify

The G-SIB measures are calculated in accordance with the annual instructions for the G-SIB assessment exercise published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Changes in
G-SIB
measures
Changes in measures compared with 2023 primarily reflect normal changes in business activity and movement in foreign exchange rates.
A. Cross-jurisdictional activity
The objective of this section is to measure a bank’s global footprint – i.e., the importance of a bank’s activities outside its home jurisdiction. The concept underlying this section is that the global impact of a bank’s distress or failure varies in line with its share of cross-jurisdictional assets and liabilities.
B. Size
Size is a key measure of a bank’s systemic importance as a bank’s distress or failure is more likely to damage the global economy or financial markets if its activities comprise a large share of global activity.
C. Interconnectedness
Financial distress at one institution can materially increase the likelihood of distress at other institutions given the network of contractual obligations in which these firms operate. A bank’s systemic impact is likely to be positively related to its interconnectedness with other financial institutions.
D. Substitutability/financial institution infrastructure
The objective of this section is to measure the extent to which a bank provides financial institution infrastructure. The concept underlying this section is that the greater a bank’s role in a particular business line, or as a service provider in underlying market infrastructure (e.g., payment systems), the larger the disruption will likely be in the event of its failure, in terms of both service gaps (including the cost to a failed bank’s clients of having to seek the same service from another bank) and reduced flow of market and infrastructure liquidity.
E. Complexity
The systemic impact of a bank’s distress or failure is expected to be positively related to its overall complexity – i.e., its business, structural and operational complexity. The more complex a bank is, the greater the costs and time needed to resolve the bank.

Management of risk
Our approach to management of risk has not changed significantly from that described on pages 45 to 84 of our 2024 Annual Report.
Risk overview
CIBC faces a wide variety of risks across all of its areas of business. Identifying and understanding risks and their impact allows CIBC to frame its risk appetite and risk management practices. Defining acceptable levels of risk, and establishing sound principles, policies and practices for managing risks, is fundamental to achieving consistent and sustainable long-term performance, while remaining within our risk appetite.
 
Our risk appetite defines tolerance levels for various risks. This is the foundation for our risk management culture and our risk management framework.
Our risk management framework includes:
 
CIBC, SBU, functional group-level and regional risk appetite statements;
 
Risk frameworks, policies, procedures and limits to align activities with our risk appetite;
 
Regular risk reports to identify and communicate risk levels;
 
An independent control framework to identify and test the design and operating effectiveness of our key controls;
 
Stress testing to consider the potential impact of changes in the business environment on capital, liquidity and earnings;
 
Proactive consideration of risk mitigation options in order to optimize results; and
 
Oversight through our risk-focused committees and governance structure.
Managing risk is a shared responsibility at CIBC. Business units and risk management professionals work in collaboration to ensure that business strategies and activities are consistent with our risk appetite. CIBC’s approach to enterprise-wide risk management aligns with the three lines of defence model:
(i)
As the first line of defence, CIBC’s Management, in SBUs and functional groups own the risks and are accountable and responsible for identifying and assessing risks inherent in its activities in accordance with the CIBC risk appetite. In addition, Management establishes and maintains controls to mitigate such risks. Management may include Governance Groups within the business to facilitate the Control Framework, Operational Risk Framework and other risk-related processes. A Governance Group refers to a group within Business Unit Management (first line of defence) whose focus is to support Management in meeting their governance, risk and control activities. A Governance Group is considered the first line of defence, in conjunction with Business Unit Management. Control Groups, which typically reside within centralized functions, provide subject matter expertise to Business Unit Management and/or implement/maintain enterprise-wide control programs and activities. While Control Groups collaborate with Business Unit Management in identifying and managing risk, they also challenge risk decisions and risk mitigation strategies.
(ii)
The second line of defence is independent from the first line of defence and provides an enterprise-wide view of specific risk types, guidance and effective challenge to risk and control activities. Risk Management is the primary second line of defence. Risk Management may leverage subject matter expertise of other groups (e.g., third parties or Control Groups) to inform their independent assessments, as appropriate.
(iii)
As the third line of defence, CIBC’s Internal Audit is responsible for providing reasonable assurance to senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board on the effectiveness of CIBC’s governance practices, risk management processes, and Internal Control as a part of its risk-based audit plan and in accordance with its mandate as described in the Internal Audit Charter.
A strong risk culture and communication between the three lines of defence are important characteristics of effective risk management.
We continuously monitor our risk profile against our defined risk appetite and related limits, taking action as needed to maintain an appropriate balance of risk and return. Monitoring our risk profile includes forward-looking analysis of sensitivity to local and global market factors, economic conditions, and geopolitical and regulatory environments that influence our overall risk profile.
Regular and transparent risk reporting and discussion at senior management committees facilitates communication of risks and discussion of risk management strategies across the organization.
Top and emerging risks
We monitor and review top and emerging risks that may affect our future results, and take action to mitigate potential risks. We perform in-depth analyses, which may include stress testing our exposures relative to the risks, and we provide updates and related developments to the Board on a regular basis. Top and emerging risks are those that we consider to have potential negative implications that are material for CIBC. See pages 53 to 56 of our 2024 Annual Report for details regarding the following top and emerging risks:
 
Inflation, interest rates and economic growth
 
Technology, information and cyber security risk
 
Disintermediation risk
 
Data and Artificial Intelligence risk
 
Third-party risk
 
Anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and sanctions
 
U.S. banking regulation
 
Interbank Offered Rate transition
 
Corporate transactions
The remainder of this section describes top and emerging risks that have been updated for developments that have occurred since the issuance of our 2024 Annual Report, as well as regulatory and accounting developments that are material for CIBC.
Geopolitical risk
The level of geopolitical risk escalates at certain points in time. While the specific impact on the global economy and on global credit and capital markets would depend on the nature of the event, in general, any major event could result in instability and volatility, leading to widening spreads, declining

equity valuations, flight to safe-haven currencies and increased purchases of gold. In the short run, market disruption could hurt the net income of our trading and non-trading market risk positions. Geopolitical risk could reduce economic growth, and in combination with the potential impacts on commodity prices and protectionism (further details are provided in the “Financial performance overview – Economic outlook” section), including from tariffs and other retaliatory measures, could have serious negative implications for general economic and banking activities.
New tariffs, if imposed by the U.S., can amplify ongoing U.S., Canada, China, and Mexico trade issues with potential negative impacts on supply chains. Tariffs can impact both retail and commercial clients. Retail clients may get impacted by an uptick in unemployment which could impact their ability to repay loan obligations and higher inflation, which may reduce their discretionary spending. Commercial clients may see lower overall revenues, experience higher costs and may slow down growth and expansion plans. The impact of tariffs may slow down loan origination and/or debt servicing for both retail and commercial clients. This risk is also contingent on the extent and duration of tariffs, and also the potential fiscal and monetary policies that may be enacted in response to them. We continue to monitor the trade agreements and tariffs situation closely.
Other areas which continue to be of concern include:
 
Conflict in the Middle East;
 
The war in Ukraine; and
 
Rising civil unrest and activism globally.
While it is difficult to predict where new geopolitical disruption will occur, we do pay particular attention to markets and regions with existing or recent historical instability to assess the impact of these environments on the markets and businesses in which we operate.
Canadian consumer debt and the housing market
The latest household debt-to-income ratio data from Statistics Canada reflects a continued downward trend that started in the third quarter of 2023. It is at its lowest level since 2016 due to growth in disposable income and slower debt growth. The debt-to-service ratio is holding stable in recent quarters and is aligned with pre-pandemic levels. Mortgage debt-to-income and service ratios continue to trend at historically high levels, while non-mortgage debt-to-income and service ratios remain at historically low levels as clients maintain low utilization and high payment rates. Mortgage service ratios could see increases as mortgages continue to renew at higher rates and income growth decelerates from a slowing labour market. 2023 and 2024 year-to-date property sale volumes have slowed to 2018–2019 levels. Sustained high interest rates have maintained pressure on property sales and mortgage growth.
While the interest rate cuts in the second half of 2024 and throughout 2025 will provide some relief, the levels are still high and there is an expected lag on performance relief from each incremental cut. Further interest rate cuts could result in an increase in sales activity and housing prices. Real estate secured lending losses remain low, supported by strong housing prices, with the House Price Index (HPI) slightly below peak 2022 levels and up year-over-year. Unemployment rates increased throughout 2024 to the highest levels since 2017 (excluding the increase in 2020 and 2021 resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic) and may increase further if tariffs are imposed. Unemployment rates at high levels could elevate non-mortgage debt levels, and have increased unsecured payment pressures, typical of the credit cycle. In recent years, the regulatory environment has seen increased scrutiny, with regulators tightening guidelines and elevating oversight over financial institutions. Changes to guidelines could impact business processes, increasing costs to the bank and/or fines for non-compliance.
Recent changes impacting CIBC include:
 
OSFI introduced a new portfolio concentration limit for uninsured originations with loan-to-income greater than 4.5x, effective November 1, 2024, with compliance reporting starting the first quarter of 2025;
 
On September 16, 2024, to increase mortgage affordability for first-time homebuyers, the Department of Finance increased the maximum amortization for insured mortgages from 25 years to 30 years, and the maximum property value cap from $1 million to $1.5 million, effective December 15, 2024; and
 
On September 26, 2024, OSFI issued further clarifications that existing uninsured mortgages that are straight switching from one federally regulated financial institution to another will be exempt from the re-application Interest Rate Stress Test, effective November 21, 2024.
Climate risk
On December 18, 2024, the Canadian Sustainability Standards Board (CSSB) published its first Canadian Sustainability Disclosure Standards (CSDSs). The finalized CSDS 1 “General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information” and CSDS 2 “Climate-related Disclosures” align with IFRS S1 “General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information” (IFRS S1) and IFRS S2 “Climate-related Disclosures” (IFRS S2), but with Canadian-specific modifications. OSFI has indicated that it plans to incorporate elements of CSDS 2 into Guideline B-15 on Climate Risk Management (Guideline B-15). In addition, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) continues to work towards a revised mandatory climate-related disclosure rule that plans to incorporate the CSSB standards.
Tax reform
The tax environment continues to evolve with the potential for more near-term tax legislative changes that could impact CIBC given the new U.S. administration and the upcoming Canadian federal election in 2025.
On June 20, 2024, Canada enacted the
Global Minimum Tax Act
(GMTA) to adopt the OECD Pillar Two, which implements a 15% global minimum corporate tax on certain multinational enterprises (GMT), which applied to CIBC as of November 1, 2024. GMT is in different stages of adoption across the jurisdictions in which CIBC operates. The recent executive orders issued by the new U.S. administration creates uncertainty and heightened complexity as to the application of GMT globally. See the “Financial results review – Taxes” section for further details.
Regulatory developments
See the “Capital management” and “Credit risk” sections for additional information on regulatory developments.

Credit risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss due to a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its obligations in accordance with contractual terms.
Credit risk arises out of the lending businesses in each of our SBUs and in International banking, which is included in Corporate and Other. Other sources of credit risk consist of our trading activities, which include our over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, debt securities, and our repo-style transaction activity. In addition to losses on the default of a borrower or counterparty, unrealized gains or losses may occur due to changes in the credit spread of the counterparty, which could impact the carrying or fair value of our assets.
Exposure to credit risk
The following table provides our exposure to credit risk by portfolios based upon how we manage the business and the associated risks. Gross credit exposure amounts presented in the table below represent our estimate of exposure at default (EAD), which is net of derivative master netting agreements and credit valuation adjustment (CVA), but is before allowance for credit losses or credit risk mitigation for IRB approaches. Gross credit exposure amounts relating to our business and government portfolios are reduced for collateral held for repo-style transactions, which reflects the EAD value of such collateral. Non-trading equity exposures are not included in the table below as they have been deemed immaterial under the OSFI guidelines, and hence are subject to 100% risk-weighting.

Includes exposures subject to the supervisory slotting approach.
(2)
OSFI guidelines define a hierarchy of approaches for treating securitization exposures in our banking book. Depending on the underlying characteristics, exposures are eligible for either the standardized approach or the IRB approach. The external ratings-based approach (SEC-ERBA), which is inclusive of the internal assessment approach (SEC-IAA), includes exposures that qualify for the IRB approach, as well as exposures under the standardized approach.
(3)
Excludes exposures arising from derivative and repo-style transactions which are cleared through qualified central counterparties (QCCPs) as well as credit risk exposures arising from other assets that are subject to the credit risk framework, including other balance sheet assets which are risk-weighted at 100%, significant investments in the capital of non-financial institutions which are risk-weighted at 1250%, settlement risk, and amounts below the thresholds for deduction which are risk-weighted at 250%. Non-trading equity exposures are also excluded and are subject to a range of risk-weightings dependent on the nature of the security.
Forbearance techniques
We employ forbearance techniques to manage client relationships and to minimize credit losses due to default, foreclosure or repossession. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to modify a loan for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, reducing the potential of default. Total debt restructurings are subject to our normal quarterly impairment review which considers, amongst other factors, covenants and/or payment delinquencies. Loan loss provisions are adjusted as appropriate.
In retail lending, forbearance techniques include interest capitalization, amortization amendments and debt consolidations. We have a set of eligibility criteria that allow our Client Account Management team to determine suitable remediation strategies and propose products based on each borrower’s situation.
The solutions available to corporate and commercial clients vary based on the individual nature of the client’s situation and are undertaken selectively where it has been determined that the client has or is likely to have repayment difficulties servicing its obligations. Covenants often reveal changes in the client’s financial situation before there is a change in payment behaviour and typically allow for a right to reprice or accelerate paymen
ts.
Solutions may be temporary in nature or may involve other special management options.

Real estate secured personal lending
Real estate secured personal lending comprises residential mortgages, and personal loans and lines secured by residential property (HELOC). This portfolio is lower risk compared with other retail portfolios, as we have a first charge on the majority of the properties and a second lien on only a small portion of the portfolio. We use the same lending criteria in the adjudication of both first lien and second lien loans.
The following disclosures are required by OSFI pursuant to the Guideline B-20 “Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices and Procedures” (Guideline B-20).

Includes variable rate mortgages of $21.9 billion (October 31, 2024: $28.9 billion), of which $6.3 billion (October 31, 2024: $17.6 billion) relates to mortgages in which all of the fixed contractual payments are currently being applied to interest based on the rates in effect at January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively, and the terms of the mortgages, with the portion of the contractual interest requirement not met by the payments being added to the principal. Since the amortization profile reflected in this table is based on the current amount of existing contractual payments, it does not reflect that the contractual payment amount is required to be increased at the time of renewal by the amount necessary to reduce the amortization period down to the period in effect at the time the mortgage was originally provided.
The extended amortization profile is driven by variable rate mortgages with elevated levels of interest rates relative to the rates at the time of origination. The elevated levels of interest rates had no impact on the remaining amortization period for fixed rate mortgages, which are assumed to be renewed at the same or a shorter amortization period.
We have two types of condominium exposures in Canada: mortgages and developer loans. Both are primarily concentrated in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. As at January 31, 2025, our Canadian condominium mortgages were $42.4 billion (October 31, 2024: $42.0 billion) of which 16% (October 31, 2024: 16%) were insured. Our drawn developer loans were $2.1 billion (October 31, 2024: $1.9 billion) or 0.9% (October 31, 2024: 0.9%) of our business and government portfolio, and our related undrawn exposure was $5.7 billion (October 31, 2024: $5.8 billion). The condominium developer exposure is diversified across 110 projects.
We stress test our mortgage and HELOC portfolios to determine the potential impact of different economic events. Our stress tests can use variables such as unemployment rates, debt service ratios and housing price changes, to model potential outcomes for a given set of circumstances. The stress testing involves variables that could behave differently in certain situations. Our main tests use economic variables in a similar range or more conservative to historical events when Canada experienced economic downturns. Our results show that in an economic downturn, our capital position should be sufficient to absorb mortgage and HELOC losses.

Net impaired loans are gross impaired loans net of stage 3 allowance for credit losses.
Gross impaired loans
As at January 31, 2025, gross impaired loans were $3,262 million, up $265 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to increases in the Canadian residential mortgages and personal lending portfolios, the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation on our business and government portfolio, as well as increases across a number of sectors, including the capital goods manufacturing, the utilities, and the mining sector, partially offset by a decrease in the real estate and construction sector.
Gross impaired loans were up $348 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to increases in the Canadian residential mortgages portfolio, the utilities, the real estate and construction, the business services and a number of other sectors, as well as the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation on our business and government portfolio, partially offset by decreases in the education, health and social services and the agriculture sectors.
52% of gross impaired loans related to Canada, of which the residential mortgages and personal lending portfolios, as well as the real estate and construction, and the retail and wholesale sectors accounted for the majority.
36% of gross impaired loans related to the U.S., of which the real estate and construction, the capital goods manufacturing, the financial institutions, and the business services sectors accounted for the majority.
The remaining gross impaired loans related to International banking, of which the residential mortgages and personal lending portfolios, as well as the business services sector accounted for the majority.
Allowance for credit losses – impaired loans
Allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was $903 million, down $170 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to decreases in the real estate and construction and the education, health and social services sectors, partially offset by the impact of the U.S. dollar appreciation on our business and government portfolio and an increase in the mining sector.
Allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was up $87 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to increases in the real estate and construction, the utilities and a number of other sectors, as well as the Canadian residential mortgage portfolio, and the impact of the U.S. dollar appreciation on our business and government portfolio.
 

Loans contractually past due but not impaired
The following table provides an aging analysis of loans that are not impaired, where repayment of principal or payment of interest is contractually in arrears. Loans less than 30 days past due are excluded as such loans are not generally indicative of the borrowers’ ability to meet their payment obligations.

Market risk
 
Market risk is the risk of economic and/or financial loss in our trading and non-trading portfolios from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity market prices, commodity prices, credit spreads, and customer behaviour for retail products. Market risk arises in CIBC’s trading and treasury activities, and encompasses all market-related positioning and market-making activity.
The trading portfolio consists of positions in financial instruments and commodities held to meet the near-term needs of our clients.
The non-trading portfolio consists of positions in various currencies that related to asset/liability management (ALM) and investment activities.

Trading activities
We hold positions in traded financial contracts to meet client investment and risk management needs. Trading revenue (net interest income and non-interest income) is generated from these transactions. Trading instruments are recorded at fair value and include debt and equity securities, as well as interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, commodity, and credit derivative products.
Value-at-Risk
Our Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodology is a statistical technique that measures the potential overnight loss at a 99% confidence level. We use a full revaluation historical simulation methodology to compute VaR and other risk measures.
The following table shows VaR for our trading activities based on risk type.

Total VaR is less than the sum of the VaR of the different market risk types due to risk offsets resulting from a portfolio diversification effect.
n/m
Not meaningful. It is not meaningful to compute a diversification effect because the high and low may occur on different days for different risk types.
Average total VaR for the three months ended January 31, 2025 was up $2.4 million from the prior quarter, driven by an increase in interest rate and equity derivatives exposures, foreign exchange portfolios, and partially offset by an increase in the diversification effect.

Trading revenue
Trading revenue comprises both trading net interest income and non-interest income and excludes underwriting fees and commissions.
During the quarter, trading revenue was positive for 100% of the days. Average daily trading revenue was $12.7 million during the quarter. Average daily trading revenue is calculated as the total trading revenue divided by the number of business days in the period.

Structural interest rate risk (SIRR)

SIRR primarily consists of the risk arising due to mismatches in the timing of the repricing of assets and liabilities, which do not arise from trading and trading-related businesses. The objective of SIRR management is to lock in product spreads and deliver stable and predictable net interest income over time, while managing the risk to the economic value of our assets arising from changes in interest rates.

SIRR results from differences in the maturities or repricing dates of assets and liabilities, both on- and off-balance sheet, as well as from embedded optionality in retail products, and other product features that could affect the expected timing of cash flows, such as options to pre-pay loans or redeem term deposits prior to contractual maturity. A number of assumptions affecting cash flows, product repricing and the administration of rates underlie the models used to measure SIRR. The key assumptions pertain to the expected funding profile of mortgage rate commitments, fixed rate loan prepayment behaviour, term deposit redemption behaviour, the treatment of non-maturity deposits and equity. Assumptions rely on empirical data, based on historical client behaviour, balance sheet composition and product pricing with the consideration of possible forward-looking changes. All models and assumptions used to measure SIRR are subject to independent oversight by Risk Management. A variety of cash instruments and derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, are used to manage these risks.
The following table shows the potential before-tax impact of an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase and 100 basis point decrease in interest rates on projected 12-month net interest income and the economic value of equity (EVE) for our structural balance sheet, assuming no subsequent hedging management actions or changes in business mix or changes in product margins.

Liquidity risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient cash or its equivalent in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet financial obligations as they come due. Common sources of liquidity risk inherent in banking services include unanticipated withdrawals of deposits, the inability to replace maturing debt, credit and liquidity commitments, and additional pledging or other collateral requirements.
Our approach to liquidity risk management supports our business strategy, aligns with our risk appetite and adheres to regulatory expectations.
Our management strategies, objectives and practices are regularly reviewed to align with changes to the liquidity environment, including regulatory, business and/or market developments. Liquidity risk remains within CIBC’s risk appetite.
Governance and management
We manage liquidity risk in a manner that enables us to withstand a liquidity stress event without an adverse impact on the viability of our operations. Actual and anticipated cash flows generated from on- and off-balance sheet exposures are routinely measured and monitored to ensure compliance with established limits. We incorporate stress testing into the management and measurement of liquidity risk. Stress test results assist with the development of our liquidity assumptions, identification of potential constraints to funding planning, and contribute to the design of our contingency funding plan.
Liquidity risk is managed using the three lines of defence model, and the ongoing management of liquidity risk is the responsibility of the Treasurer, supported by guidance from the Global Asset Liability Committee (GALCO).
The Treasurer is responsible for managing the activities and processes required for measurement and the reporting and monitoring of CIBC’s liquidity risk position as the first line of defence.
The Liquidity and Non-Trading Market Risk group provides independent oversight of the measurement, monitoring and control of liquidity risk, as the second line of defence.
Internal audit is the third line of defence providing reasonable assurance to senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board on the effectiveness of CIBC’s governance practices, risk management processes, and internal control as part of its risk-based audit plan and in accordance with its mandate as described in the Internal Audit Charter.
The GALCO governs CIBC’s liquidity risk management, ensuring the liquidity risk management methodologies, assumptions, and key metrics are regularly reviewed and aligned with CIBC’s requirements. The Liquidity Risk Management Committee, a subcommittee of GALCO, monitors global liquidity risk and is responsible for ensuring that CIBC’s liquidity risk profile is comprehensively measured and managed in alignment with CIBC’s strategic direction, risk appetite and regulatory requirements.
The Risk Management Committee (RMC) provides governance through bi-annual review of CIBC’s liquidity risk management policy, and recommends liquidity risk tolerance to the Board through the risk appetite statement which is reviewed annually.
 
Liquid assets
Available liquid assets include unencumbered cash and marketable securities from on- and off-balance sheet sources that can be used to access funding in a timely fashion. Encumbered liquid assets, composed of assets pledged as collateral and those assets that are deemed restricted due to legal, operational, or other purposes, are not considered as sources of available liquidity when measuring liquidity risk. The asset mix is supported by concentration monitoring on issuers, tenors and product types to ensure that bank-wide liquid asset portfolios contain a mix of assets that have appropriate liquidity, including in times of stress.
Encumbered and unencumbered liquid assets from on- and off-balance sheet sources are summarized as follows:

Table of Contents
Asset haircuts and monetization depth assumptions under a liquidity stress scenario are applied to determine asset liquidity value. Haircuts take into consideration those margins applicable at central banks – such as the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank – historical observations, and securities characteristics including asset type, issuer, credit ratings, currency and remaining term to maturity, as well as available regulatory guidance.
Our encumbered liquid assets as at January 31, 2025 increased by $52.9 billion since October 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in securities financing transactions. Our unencumbered liquid assets as at January 31, 2025 decreased by $7.7 billion since October 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in liquid government securities holdings.
Furthermore, we maintain access eligibility to the Bank of Canada’s Emergency Lending Assistance program and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window.
Asset encumbrance
 
In the course of our day-to-day operations, securities and other assets are pledged to secure obligations, participate in clearing and settlement systems and for other collateral management purposes.
The following table provides a summary of our total on- and off-balance sheet encumbered and unencumbered assets:

Restrictions on the flow of funds
Our subsidiaries are not subject to significant restrictions that would prevent transfers of funds, dividends or capital distributions. However, certain subsidiaries have different capital and liquidity requirements, established by applicable banking and securities regulators.
We monitor and manage our capital and liquidity requirements across these entities to ensure that resources are used efficiently and entities are in compliance with local regulatory and policy requirements.
Liquidity coverage ratio
The objective of the LCR is to promote short-term resilience of a bank’s liquidity risk profile, ensuring that it has adequate unencumbered high quality liquid resources to meet its liquidity needs in a 30-day acute stress scenario. Canadian banks are required by OSFI to achieve a minimum LCR value of 100%. We are in compliance with this requirement.
In accordance with the calibration methodology contained in OSFI’s LAR Guideline, we report the LCR to OSFI on a monthly basis. The ratio is calculated as the total of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HQLA) over the total net cash outflows in the next 30 calendar days.
The LCR’s numerator consists of unencumbered HQLA, which follow an OSFI-defined set of eligibility criteria that considers fundamental and market-related characteristics, and the relative ability to operationally monetize assets on a timely basis during a period of stress. Our centrally managed liquid asset portfolio includes those liquid assets reported in the HQLA, such as central government treasury bills and bonds, central bank deposits and high-rated sovereign, agency, provincial, and corporate securities. Asset eligibility limitations inherent in the LCR metric do not necessarily reflect our internal assessment of our ability to monetize our marketable assets under stress.
The ratio’s denominator reflects net cash outflows expected in the LCR’s stress scenario over the 30-calendar-day period. Expected cash outflows represent LCR-defined withdrawal or draw-down rates applied against outstanding liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments, respectively. Significant contributors to our LCR outflows include business and financial institution deposit run-off, draws on undrawn lines of credit and unsecured debt maturities. Cash outflows are partially offset by cash inflows, which are calculated at OSFI-prescribed LCR inflow rates, and include performing loan repayments and maturing non-HQLA marketable assets.
During a period of financial stress, institutions may use their stock of HQLA, thereby falling below 100%, as maintaining the LCR at 100% under such circumstances could produce undue negative effects on the institution and other market participants.

n/a
Not applicable as per the LCR common disclosure template.
Our average LCR as at January 31, 2025 increased to 132% from 129% in the prior quarter, due to higher HQLA, partially offset by an increase in net cash outflows. The increase in total HQLA compared to the prior quarter mainly reflects an increase in deposits.
Net stable funding ratio
Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s LAR Guideline, the NSFR standard aims to promote long-term resilience of the financial sector by requiring banks to maintain a sustainable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities. Canadian D-SIBs are required to maintain a minimum NSFR value of 100% on a consolidated bank basis. CIBC is in compliance with this requirement.
In accordance with the calibration methodology contained in OSFI’s LAR Guideline, we report the NSFR to OSFI on a quarterly basis. The ratio is calculated as total available stable funding (ASF) over the total required stable funding (RSF).
The numerator consists of the portion of capital and liabilities considered reliable over a one-year time horizon. The NSFR considers longer-term sources of funding to be more stable than short-term funding and deposits from retail and commercial customers to be behaviourally more stable than wholesale funding of the same maturity. In accordance with our funding strategy, key drivers of our ASF include client deposits supplemented by secured and unsecured wholesale funding, and capital instruments.
The denominator represents the amount of stable funding required based on the OSFI-defined liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The NSFR ascribes varying degrees of RSF such that HQLA and short-term exposures are assumed to have a lower funding requirement than less liquid and longer-term exposures. Our RSF is largely driven by retail, commercial and corporate lending, investments in liquid assets, derivative exposures, and undrawn lines of credit and liquidity.
The ASF and RSF may be adjusted to zero for certain liabilities and assets that are determined to be interdependent if they meet the NSFR-defined criteria, which take into account the purpose, amount, cash flows, tenor and counterparties among other aspects to ensure the institution is acting solely as a pass-through unit for the underlying transactions. We report, where applicable, interdependent assets and liabilities arising from transactions OSFI has designated as eligible for such treatment in the LAR Guideline.

Our NSFR as at January 31, 2025 decreased to 113% from 115% in the prior quarter, mainly due to an increase in loans and securities.
CIBC considers the impact of its business decisions on the LCR, NSFR and other liquidity risk metrics that it regularly monitors as part of a robust liquidity risk management function. Variables that can impact the metrics month-over-month include, but are not limited to, items such as wholesale funding activities and maturities, strategic balance sheet initiatives, and transactions and market conditions affecting collateral.
Reporting of the LCR and NSFR is calibrated centrally by Treasury, in conjunction with the SBUs and other functional groups.
Funding
 
We fund our operations with client-sourced deposits, supplemented with a wide range of wholesale funding.
Our principal approach aims to fund our consolidated balance sheet with deposits primarily raised from personal and commercial banking channels. We maintain a foundation of relationship-based core deposits, whose stability is regularly evaluated through internally developed statistical assessments.
We routinely access a range of short-term and long-term secured and unsecured funding sources diversified by geography, depositor type, instrument, currency and maturity. We raise long-term funding from existing programs including covered bonds, asset securitizations and unsecured debt.

We continuously evaluate opportunities to diversify into new funding products and investor segments in an effort to maximize funding flexibility and minimize concentration and financing costs. We regularly monitor wholesale funding levels and concentrations to internal limits consistent with our desired liquidity risk profile.
GALCO and RMC review and approve CIBC’s funding plan, which incorporates projected asset and liability growth, funding maturities, and output from our liquidity position forecasting.

We manage liquidity risk in a manner that enables us to withstand severe liquidity stress events. Wholesale funding may present a higher risk of run-off in stress situations, and we maintain significant portfolios of unencumbered liquid assets to mitigate this risk. See the “Liquid assets” section for additional details.
Credit ratings
Our access to and cost of wholesale funding are dependent on multiple factors, among them credit ratings provided by rating agencies. Rating agencies’ opinions are based upon internal methodologies, and are subject to change based on factors including, but not limited to, financial strength, competitive position, macroeconomic backdrop and liquidity positioning.
Our credit ratings are summarized in the following table:

Additional collateral requirements for rating downgrades
We are required to deliver collateral to certain derivative counterparties in the event of a downgrade to our current credit risk rating. The collateral requirement is based on MTM exposure, collateral valuations, and collateral arrangement thresholds, as applicable.

Obligations that are legally binding agreements whereby we agree to purchase products or services with specific minimum or baseline quantities defined at fixed, minimum or variable prices over a specified period of time are defined as purchase obligations. Purchase obligations are included through to the termination date specified in the respective agreements, even if the contract is renewable. Many of the purchase agreements for goods and services include clauses that would allow us to cancel the agreement prior to expiration of the contract within a specific notice period. However, the amount above includes our obligations without regard to such termination clauses (unless actual notice of our intention to terminate the agreement has been communicated to the counterparty). The table excludes purchases of debt and equity instruments that settle within standard market time frames.
(2)
Excludes lease obligations that are accounted for under IFRS 16, which are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, and operating and tax expenses relating to lease commitments. The table includes lease obligations that are not accounted for under IFRS 16, including those related to future starting lease commitments for which we have not yet recognized a lease liability and right-of-use asset.
(3)
Includes estimated minimum funding contributions for our funded defined benefit pension plans in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and the Caribbean. Estimated minimum funding contributions are included only for the remaining annual period ending October 31, 2025 as the minimum contributions are affected by various factors, such as market performance and regulatory requirements, and therefore are subject to significant variability.
Other risks
We also have policies and processes to measure, monitor and control other risks, including strategic, reputation, environmental and social, and operational risks, such as insurance, technology, information and cyber security, and regulatory compliance. The “Top and emerging risks” section includes updates to these risks. The related policies and processes have not changed significantly from those described on pages 80 to 84 of our 2024 Annual Report.

Accounting and control matters
Critical accounting policies and estimates
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” using IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). A summary of material accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as CIBC’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended October 31, 2024.
Certain accounting policies require us to make judgments and estimates, some of which relate to matters that are uncertain. The current macroeconomic environment, including with respect to uncertainty related to tariffs that could be imposed by the U.S. government and fiscal and monetary policies that may be enacted in response to tariffs, the expectation for lower interest rates even in the absence of a trade war, the easing of inflationary pressures and geopolitical events, gives rise to heightened uncertainty as it relates to our accounting estimates and assumptions and increases the need to apply judgment. In particular, changes in the judgments and estimates related to IFRS 9 can have a significant impact on the level of ECL allowance recognized and period-over-period volatility of the provision for credit losses. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements for more information concerning the high level of judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowance.
Accounting developments
For details on future accounting policy changes, refer to Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of standards that are effective for us after fiscal 2025.
Controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
CIBC’s management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of CIBC’s disclosure controls and procedures as at January 31, 2025 (as defined in the rules of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators). Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in CIBC’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Related-party transactions
There have been no significant changes to CIBC’s procedures and policies regarding related-party transactions since October 31, 2024. For additional information, refer to pages 90 and 180 of our 2024 Annual Report.

Glossary
Allowance for credit losses
Under International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9, allowance for credit losses represents 12 months of expected credit losses (ECL) for instruments that have not been subject to a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, while allowance for credit losses represents lifetime ECL for instruments that have been subject to a significant increase in credit risk, including impaired instruments. ECL allowances for loans and acceptances are included in Allowance for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheet. ECL allowances for fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) debt securities are included as a component of the carrying value of the securities, which are measured at fair value. ECL allowances for other financial assets are included in the carrying value of the instrument. ECL allowances for guarantees and loan commitments are included in Other liabilities.
Allowance for credit losses are adjusted for provisions for (reversals of) credit losses and are reduced by write-offs, net of recoveries.
Amortized cost
The amount at which a financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus repayments, plus or minus any unamortized origination date premiums or discounts, plus or minus any basis adjustments resulting from a fair value hedge, and minus any reduction for impairment (directly or through the use of an allowance account). The amount of a financial asset or liability measured at initial recognition is the cost of the financial asset or liability including capitalized transaction costs and deferred fees.
Assets under administration (AUA)
Assets administered by CIBC that are beneficially owned by clients and are, therefore, not reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The services provided by CIBC are of an administrative nature, such as safekeeping of securities, client reporting and record keeping, collection of investment income, and the settlement of purchase and sale transactions. In addition, assets under management (AUM) amounts are included in the amounts reported under AUA.
Assets under management (AUM)
Assets managed by CIBC that are beneficially owned by clients and are, therefore, not reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The service provided in respect of these assets is discretionary portfolio management on behalf of the clients.
Average interest-earning assets
Average interest-earning assets include interest-bearing deposits with banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with the Bank of Canada, securities, cash collateral on securities borrowed or securities purchased under resale agreements, loans net of allowance for credit losses, and certain sublease-related assets. Average balances are calculated as a weighted average of daily closing balances.
Average trading interest-earning assets
Average trading interest-earning assets are average interest-earning assets related to trading activities.
Basis point
One-hundredth of a percentage point (0.01%).
Collateral
Assets pledged to secure loans or other obligations, which are forfeited if the obligations are not repaid.
Common share book value
Common shareholders’ equity divided by the number of common shares issued and outstanding at end of period.
Common shareholders’ equity
Common shareholders’ equity includes common shares, contributed surplus, retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI).
Credit derivatives
A category of financial instruments that allow one party (the beneficiary) to separate and transfer the credit risk of nonpayment or partial payment of an underlying financial instrument to another party (the guarantor).
Credit valuation adjustment (CVA)
A valuation adjustment that is required to be considered in measuring fair value of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives to recognize the risk that any given derivative counterparty may not ultimately be able to fulfill its obligations. In assessing the net counterparty credit risk (CCR) exposure, we take into account credit mitigants such as collateral, master netting arrangements, and settlements through clearing houses.
Current replacement cost
The estimated cost of replacing an asset at the present time according to its current worth.
Derivatives
A financial contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying instrument, index or financial rate.
Dividend payout ratio
Common share dividends paid as a percentage of net income after preferred share dividends, premium on preferred share redemptions, and distributions on other equity instruments.
Dividend yield
Dividends per common share divided by the closing common share price.

Risk and capital glossary
Advanced internal ratings-based (AIRB) approach for credit risk
Version of the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to credit risk where institutions provide their own estimates of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD), and their own calculation of effective maturity, subject to meeting minimum standards. AIRB is no longer permitted for some exposure categories.
Asset/liability management (ALM)
The practice of managing risks that arise from mismatches between the repricing of assets and liabilities, mainly in the non-trading areas of the bank. Techniques are used to manage the relative duration of CIBC’s assets (such as loans) and liabilities (such as deposits), in order to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.
Bail-in eligible liabilities
Bail-in eligible liabilities include long-term (i.e., original maturity over 400 days), unsecured senior debt issued on or after September 23, 2018 that is tradable and transferrable, and any preferred shares and subordinated debt that are not considered non-viability contingent capital (NVCC). Consumer deposits, secured liabilities (including covered bonds), certain financial contracts (including derivatives) and certain structured notes are not bail-in eligible.
Bank exposures
All direct credit risk exposures to deposit-taking institutions and regulated securities firms, and exposures guaranteed by those entities.
Business and government portfolio

Economic capital comprises primarily credit, market, operational and strategic risk capital.
Exposure at default (EAD)
An estimate of the amount of exposure to a customer at the event of, and at the time of, default.
Foundation internal ratings-based (FIRB) approach for credit risk
Version of the IRB approach to credit risk where institutions provide their own estimates of PD and their own calculation of effective maturity and rely on prescribed supervisory estimates for other risk components such as LGD and EAD. FIRB methodology must be used for some exposure categories.

Internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for credit risk
Approach to determining credit risk capital requirements based on risk components such as PD, LGD, EAD and effective maturity.
Internal ratings-based approach for securitization exposures
This approach comprises two calculation methods available for securitization exposures that require OSFI approval: the Internal Ratings-Based Approach (SEC-IRBA) is available to the banks approved to use the IRB approach for underlying exposures securitized and the Internal Assessment Approach (SEC-IAA) is available for certain securitization exposures extended to asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs.
Leverage ratio
Defined as Tier 1 capital divided by the leverage ratio exposure determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI, which are based on BCBS standards.
Leverage ratio exposure
The leverage ratio exposure is defined under the OSFI rules as on-balance sheet assets (unweighted) less Tier 1 capital regulatory adjustments plus derivative exposures, securities financing transaction exposures with a limited form of netting under certain conditions, and other off-balance sheet exposures (such as commitments, direct credit substitutes, undrawn credit card exposures, securitization exposures and unsettled trades).
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)
Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline, the LCR is a liquidity standard that aims to ensure that an institution has an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) that consists of cash or assets that can be converted into cash at little or no loss of value in private markets, to meet its liquidity needs for a 30-calendar-day liquidity stress scenario.
Liquidity risk
The risk of having insufficient cash or its equivalent in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet financial obligations as they come due.
Loss given default (LGD)
An estimate of the amount of exposure to a customer that will not be recovered following a default by that customer, expressed as a percentage of the EAD. LGD is generally based on through-the-cycle assumptions for regulatory capital purposes, and generally based on point-in-time assumptions reflecting forward-looking information for IFRS 9 ECL purposes.
Market risk
The risk of economic and/or financial loss in our trading and non-trading portfolios from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity market prices, commodity prices, credit spreads and customer behaviour for retail products.
Master netting agreement
An industry standard agreement designed to reduce the credit risk of multiple transactions with a counterparty through the creation of a legal right of offset of exposures in the event of a default by that counterparty and through the provision for net settlement of all contracts through a single payment.
Net cumulative cash flow (NCCF)
The NCCF is a liquidity horizon metric defined under OSFI’s LAR Guideline as a monitoring and supervision tool for liquidity risk that measures an institution’s detailed cash flows in order to capture the risk posed by funding mismatches between assets and liabilities.
Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)
Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s LAR Guideline, the NSFR standard aims to promote long-term resilience of the financial sector by requiring banks to maintain a sustainable stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities.
Non-viability contingent capital (NVCC)
Effective January 1, 2013, in order to qualify for inclusion in regulatory capital, all non-common Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments must be capable of absorbing losses at the point of non-viability of a financial institution. This will ensure that investors in such instruments bear losses before taxpayers where the government determines that it is in the public interest to rescue a non-viable bank.
Operational risk
The risk of loss resulting from people, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, or from external events.
Other off-balance sheet exposure
The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from the issuance of guarantees and letters of credit.

Table of Contents
Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives exposure
The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from derivatives that trade directly between two counterparties, rather than through exchanges.
Probability of default (PD)
An estimate of the likelihood of default for any particular customer which occurs when that customer is not able to repay its obligations as they become contractually due. PD is based on through-the-cycle assumptions for regulatory capital purposes, and based on point-in-time assumptions reflecting forward-looking information for IFRS 9 ECL purposes.
Qualifying central counterparty (QCCP)
An entity that is licensed to operate as a CCP and is permitted by the appropriate regulator or oversight body to operate as such with respect to the products offered by that CCP.
Qualifying revolving retail
This exposure class includes credit cards, unsecured lines of credit and overdraft protection products extended to individuals. Under the standardized approach, these exposures would be included under “other retail”.
Real estate secured personal lending
This exposure class includes residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines of credit extended to individuals.
Regulatory capital
Regulatory capital, as defined by OSFI’s CAR Guideline, is comprised of CET1, Additional Tier 1 (AT1) and Tier 2 capital. CET1 capital includes common shares, retained earnings, AOCI (excluding AOCI relating to cash flow hedges and changes in fair value option liabilities attributable to changes in own credit risk) and qualifying instruments issued by a consolidated banking subsidiary to third parties, less regulatory adjustments for items such as goodwill and other intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets, net assets related to defined benefit pension plans, and certain investments. AT1 capital primarily includes NVCC preferred shares, Limited Recourse Capital Notes, and qualifying instruments issued by a consolidated subsidiary to third parties. Tier 1 capital is comprised of CET1 plus AT1. Tier 2 capital includes NVCC subordinated indebtedness, eligible general allowances, and qualifying instruments issued by a consolidated subsidiary to third parties. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital. Qualifying regulatory capital instruments must be capable of absorbing loss at the point of non-viability of the financial institution.
Repo-style transactions exposure
The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from our securities bought or sold under resale agreements, as well as securities borrowing and lending activities.
Reputation risk
The risk of negative publicity regarding CIBC’s business conduct or practices which, whether true or not, could significantly harm CIBC’s reputation as a leading financial institution, or could materially and adversely affect CIBC’s business, operations, or financial condition.
Resecuritization
A securitization exposure in which the risk associated with an underlying pool of exposures is tranched and at least one of the underlying exposures is a securitization exposure.
Retail portfolios
A category of exposures that primarily includes consumer but also small business lending, where the primary basis of adjudication relies on credit-scoring models.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA)
RWA consist of three components: (i) RWA for credit risk, which are calculated using the IRB and standardized approaches, (ii) RWA for market risk, and (iii) RWA for operational risk. The IRB RWA are calculated using PDs, LGDs, EADs, and in some cases maturity adjustments, while the standardized approach applies risk weighting factors specified in the OSFI guidelines to on- and off-balance sheet exposures. RWA for market risk in the trading portfolio is based on standardized capital requirements defined by OSFI. The RWA for operational risk, which relate to the risk of losses resulting from people, inadequate or failed internal processes, and systems or from external events, are calculated under a standardized approach.
Since the introduction of Basel II in 2008, OSFI has prescribed a capital floor requirement for institutions that use the IRB approach for credit risk. The capital floor is determined by applying an adjustment factor specified by OSFI to the capital requirement calculated by reference to the standardized approach. Any shortfall in the IRB capital requirement is added to RWA.
Securitization
The process of selling assets (normally financial assets such as loans, leases, trade receivables, credit card receivables or mortgages) to trusts or other SEs. A SE normally issues securities or other forms of interests to investors and/or the asset transferor, and the SE uses the proceeds from the issue of securities or other forms of interest to purchase the transferred assets. The SE will generally use the cash flows generated by the assets to meet the obligations under the securities or other interests issued by the SE, which may carry a number of different risk profiles.
Simple, transparent and comparable (STC) securitizations
Securitization exposures satisfying a set of regulatory STC criteria. Such exposures qualify for a preferential capital treatment under the securitization framework.

Small and medium enterprises (SME) retail
This exposure class includes all loans extended to scored small businesses under the regulatory capital reporting framework.
Sovereign exposures
All direct credit risk exposures to governments, central banks and certain public sector entities, and exposures guaranteed by those entities.
Specialized lending (SL)
A subset of Corporate exposures falling into one of the following sub-classes: project finance (PF), object finance (OF), commodities finance (CF), income-producing real estate (IPRE), and high-volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE). Primary source of repayment for such credits is the income generated by the asset(s), rather than the independent capacity of a broader commercial enterprise.
Standardized approach for credit risk
Applied to exposures when there is not sufficient information to allow for the use of the AIRB approach for credit risk. Credit risk capital requirements are calculated based on a standardized set of risk weights as prescribed in the CAR Guideline. The standardized risk weights are based on external credit assessments, where available, and other risk-related factors, including export credit agencies, exposure asset class, collateral, etc.
Standardized approach for operational risk
This approach is based on a prescribed formula made up of three components: (i) the Business Indicator (BI), which is a financial-statement-based proxy for operational risk, (ii) the Business Indicator Component (BIC), which is calculated by multiplying the BI by a set of regulatory determined marginal coefficients, and (iii) the Internal Loss Multiplier, which is a scaling factor that is based on the average historical operational losses and the BIC.
Standardized approach for securitization exposures
This approach comprises the calculation methods available for securitization exposures that do not require OSFI approval: the external ratings-based approach (SEC-ERBA) and the standardized approach (SEC-SA).
Strategic risk

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)
The interim consolidated financial statements of CIBC are prepared in accordance with Section 308(4) of the
Bank Act
(Canada), which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). There are no accounting requirements of OSFI that are exceptions to IFRS.
These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. Except as indicated below, these interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as CIBC’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended October 31, 2024.
All amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2025.
Note 1. Changes in accounting policies
a) Current period changes in accounting standards
There are no new or amended accounting standards that are effective for CIBC this fiscal year, except for the additional disclosures provided in Note 11 to our interim consolidated financial statements as a result of the implementation of global minimum tax, which applied to CIBC as of November 1, 2024.
b) Future accounting policy changes
For details on future accounting policy changes, refer to Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of standards that are effective for us after fiscal 2025.
Note 2. Significant estimates and assumptions
As disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recognized and measured amounts of assets, liabilities, net income, comprehensive income and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in the areas of the valuation of financial instruments, allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of whether to consolidate structured entities, leases, asset impairment, income taxes, provisions and contingent liabilities, post-employment and other long-term benefit plan assumptions and valuation of self-managed loyalty points programs. We continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment which gives rise to heightened uncertainty as it relates to accounting estimates and assumptions and increases the need to apply judgment in evaluating the economic and market environment and its impact on significant estimates.
The need to apply judgment particularly impacts estimates and assumptions relating to the allowance for credit losses, where significant judgment continued to be inherent in the forecasting of forward-looking information. Changes in the judgments and estimates related to IFRS 9 can have a significant impact on the level of expected credit loss (ECL) allowance recognized and the period-over-period volatility of the provision for credit losses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report, and Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements for more information concerning the high level of judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowance.

Relates to loans designated at FVTPL.
(2)
Comprises deposits designated at FVTPL of $39,610 million (October 31, 2024: $39,008 million), net bifurcated embedded derivative liabilities of $587 million (October 31, 2024: $521 million), other liabilities designated at FVTPL of $3 million (October 31, 2024: $19 million), and other financial liabilities measured at fair value of $163 million (October 31, 2024: $158 million).
Transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the quarter in which the
trans
fer occurred. Transfers between levels can occur as a result of additional or new information regarding valuation inputs and changes in their observability. During the quarter ended January 31, 2025, we transferred $457 million of securities measured at FVTPL
or FVOCI
from Level 1 to Level 2 and
$
292
million
from Level 2 to Level 1, and $307 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2 and $132 million from Level 2 to Level 1, due to changes in observability in the inputs used to value these securities (for the quarter ended October 31, 2024, $1,576
million of securities measured at FVTPL or FVOCI were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and $
575 million from Level 2 to Level 1, and $2,854 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2 and $429 million from Level 2 to Level 1
)
.
In addition, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were made during the quarters ended January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, primarily due to changes in the assessment of the observability of certain correlation and market volatility and probability inputs that were used in measuring the fair value of our FVO liabilities and derivatives. 
The following table presents the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities in Level 3. These instruments are measured at fair value utilizing non-observable market inputs. We often hedge positions with offsetting positions that may be classified in a different level. As a result, the gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the Level 3 category presented in the table below do not reflect the effect of offsetting gains and losses on the related hedging instruments that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2.

Inputs, assumptions and model techniques
We continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. There is inherent uncertainty in forecasting forward-looking information and estimating the impact that the macroeconomic environment, including the level and duration of potential tariffs that could be imposed by the U.S. government, fiscal and monetary policies that may be enacted in response to tariffs, the expectation for lower interest rates even in the absence of a trade war, the easing of inflationary pressures, and geopolitical events will have on the level of ECL allowance and period-over-period volatility of the provision for credit losses. As a result, a heightened level of judgment in estimating ECLs in respect of all these elements, as discussed below, continued to be required. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 2 to our interim consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the significant estimates and credit judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowances.
The following tables provide the base case, upside case and downside case scenario forecasts for select forward-looking information variables used to estimate our ECL.

National-level forward-looking forecasts are presented in the table above, which represent the aggregation of the provincial-level forecasts used to estimate our ECL. Housing Price Index growth rates are also forecasted at the municipal level in some cases. As a result, the forecasts for individual provinces or municipalities reflected in our ECL will differ from the national forecasts presented above.
As required, the forward-looking information used to estimate ECLs reflects our expectations and uncertainties as at January 31, 2025, and October 31, 2024, respectively, and does not reflect changes in expectations that may have subsequently arisen. The base case, upside case and downside case amounts shown represent the average value of the forecasts over the respective projection horizons.
Our underlying base case projection as at January 31, 2025 continues to be characterized by modest real GDP growth in Canada, and slightly stronger growth in the U.S. which has generally been more resilient to higher interest rates. Our base case projection for Canada as at January 31, 2025 assumes that any tariffs will be short term and have limited impact on growth and unemployment. Our base case also assumes that interest rates will continue to decline until the middle of calendar 2025, but remain at higher than pre-pandemic levels.
Our downside case forecast assumes slower growth in Canada due to increasing economic uncertainty. Our downside case forecast as at January 31, 2025 is generally consistent with a more pronounced and longer lasting trade dispute between Canada and the United States, including higher unemployment rates in Canada and lower consumer spending. The downside case forecast for the U.S. assumes slow growth for the remainder of calendar 2025. The downside forecasts also reflect slower recoveries thereafter to lower levels of sustained economic activity and unemployment rates persistently above where they stood pre-pandemic. The upside scenario continues to reflect a better economic environment than the base case forecast.
As indicated above, forecasting forward-looking information for multiple scenarios and determining the probability weighting of the scenarios involves a high degree of management judgment. To address the significant uncertainties inherent in the current environment, we continue to utilize management overlays with respect to the impact of certain forward-looking information and credit metrics that are not expected to be as indicative of the credit condition of the portfolios as the historical experience in our models would have otherwise suggested. The use of management overlays requires the application of significant judgment that impacts the amount of ECL allowances recognized.
If we were to only use our base case scenario for the measurement of ECL for our performing loans, our ECL allowance would be $465 million lower than the recognized ECL as at January 31, 2025 (October 31, 2024: $246 million). If we were to only use our downside case scenario for the measurement of ECL for our performing loans, our ECL allowance would be $951 million higher than the recognized ECL as at January 31, 2025 (October 31, 2024: $737 million). This sensitivity is isolated to the measurement of ECL and therefore did not consider changes in the migration of exposures between stage 1 and stage 2 from the determination of the significant increase in credit risk that would have resulted in a 100% base case scenario or a 100% downside case scenario. As a result, our ECL allowance on performing loans could exceed the amount implied by the 100% downside case scenario from the migration of additional exposures from stage 1 to stage 2. Actual credit losses could differ materially from those reflected in our estimates.

The table excludes debt securities measured at FVOCI, for which ECL allowances of $20 million (October 31, 2024: $19 million) were recognized in AOCI. In addition, the table excludes debt securities classified at amortized cost, for which ECL allowances of $17 million were recognized as at January 31, 2025 (October 31, 2024: $17 million). Other financial assets classified at amortized cost were also excluded from the table above as their ECL allowances were immaterial as at January 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024. Financial assets other than loans that are classified at amortized cost are presented on our interim consolidated balance sheet net of ECL allowances.
(2)
Excludes foreclosed assets of $2 million (October 31, 2024: $8 million) which were included in Other assets on our interim consolidated balance sheet.
(3)
Includes $1 million (October 31, 2024: $3 million) of residential mortgages and $713 million (October 31, 2024: $221 million) of business and government loans that are measured and designated at FVTPL.
(4)
The internal risk rating grades presented for residential mortgages and certain personal loans do not take into account loan guarantees or insurance issued by the Canadian government (federal or provincial), Canadian government agencies, or private insurers, as the determination of whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for these loans is based on relative changes in the loans’ lifetime PD without considering collateral or other credit enhancements.
(5)
Includes customers’ liability under acceptances of $10 million (October 31, 2024: $6 million).

Preferred shares and other equity instruments
Issuance
Limited Recourse Capital Notes Series 5 (NVCC) (subordinated indebtedness) (LRCN Series 5 Notes)
On November 5, 2024, we issued USD$500 million principal amount of 6.950% LRCN Series 5 Notes. The LRCN Series 5 Notes mature on January 28, 2085, and bear interest at a fixed rate of 6.950% per annum (paid quarterly) until
January 28, 2030
. Starting on January 28, 2030, and every five years thereafter until January 28, 2080, the interest rate will be reset to the then current five-year U.S. Treasury Rate plus 2.833% per annum.
Concurrently with the issuance of the LRCN Series 5 Notes, we issued Non-Cumulative 5-Year Fixed Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 59 (NVCC) (the Series 59 Preferred Shares), which are held in the Limited Recourse Trust that is consolidated by CIBC and, as a result, the Series 59 Preferred Shares are eliminated in CIBC’s consolidated financial statements. In the event of non-payment by CIBC of the principal amount of, interest on, or redemption price for, the LRCN Series 5 Notes when due, the sole remedy of each LRCN Series 5 Note holder is limited to that holder’s proportionate share of the Series 59 Preferred Shares held in the Limited Recourse Trust. Subject to regulatory approval, we may redeem the LRCN Series 5 Notes, in whole or in part, on each January 28, April 28, July 28, and October 28, commencing on January 28, 2030, at par.
Redemption
On January 31, 2025, we redeemed all 12 million Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 41 (NVCC) (Series 41 shares), at a redemption price of $25.00 per Series 41 share, for a total redemption cost of $300 million.

Our regulatory capital ratios are determined in accordance with the Cap
ita
l Adequacy Requirements Guideline issued by OSFI, which are based on the capital standards developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. CIBC has been designated by OSFI as a domestic systemically important bank (D-SIB) in Canada, and is subject to a CET1 surcharge equal to 1.0% of RWA. OSFI also expects D-SIBs to hold a Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) of 3.5%, which was increased from 3.0
% effective November 1, 2023. This results in current targets, including all buffer requirements, for the CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios
of
11.5%, 13.0%, and 15.0%, respectively.
To supplement risk-based capital requirements, OSFI expects federally regulated deposit-taking institutions to have a leverage ratio, which is a non-risk-based capital metric, that meets or exceeds 3.5%, including a 0.5% D-SIB buffer.
Under the TLAC guideline, OSFI also requires D-SIBs to maintain a supervisory target TLAC ratio (which builds on the risk-based capital ratios) and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio (which builds on the leverage ratio). OSFI expects D-SIBs to have a minimum risk-based TLAC ratio of 21.5% plus the then applicable DSB requirement (3.5% as noted above), and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio of 7.25%.
These targets may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion. During the quarter ended January 31, 2025, we have complied with OSFI’s regulatory capital, leverage ratio, and TLAC requirements.

The Canadian post-employment defined benefit plans are remeasured on a quarterly basis for changes in the discount rate and for actual asset returns. All other Canadian plans’ actuarial assumptions and foreign plans’ actuarial assumptions are updated at least annually.
Note 11. Income taxes
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has reassessed CIBC’s 2011–2019 taxation years for approximately $
1,847
 
million of income taxes related to the denial of deductions of certain dividends. Subsequent taxation years may also be similarly reassessed. CIBC filed a Notice of Appeal in respect of its 2011 taxation year to put the matter in litigation. CIBC is confident that its tax filing positions are appropriate and intends to defend itself vigorously. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the interim consolidated financial statements.
As previously reported, potential aggregate exposure remaining in respect of foreign exchange capital loss matters is approximately $
76
 million. No amounts have been accrued in the interim consolidated financial statements.
On June 20, 2024, Canada enacted the
Global Minimum Tax Act
(GMTA) to adopt the Organisation for Economic
Co-operation
and Development’s (OECD) Pillar Two, which implements a
15
% global minimum corporate tax on certain multinational enterprises (GMT). GMT is in different stages of adoption globally. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate have implemented GMT, which applied to CIBC as of November 1, 2024.
The impact of GMT on the consolidated effective tax rate is within a
1
% range in the first quarter of 2025.

Note 13. Contingent liabilities and provisions
Legal proceedings and other contingencies
In the ordinary course of its business, CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, in which claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against CIBC and its subsidiaries. Legal provisions are established if, in the opinion of management, it is both probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to resolve the matter, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the reliable estimate of probable loss involves a range of potential outcomes within which a specific amount appears to be a better estimate, that amount is accrued. If no specific amount within the range of potential outcomes appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the mid-point in the range is accrued. In some instances, however, it is not possible either to determine whether an obligation is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of loss, in which case no accrual can be made.
While there is inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of legal proceedings, based on current knowledge and in consultation with legal counsel, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our interim consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, may be material to our operating results for a particular reporting period. We regularly assess the adequacy of CIBC’s litigation accruals and make the necessary adjustments to incorporate new information as it becomes available.
The provisions disclosed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report included all of CIBC’s accruals for legal matters as at that date, including amounts related to the significant legal proceedings described in that note and to other legal matters. Tax examinations and disputes are excluded. Income tax matters are addressed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report and Note 11 to our interim consolidated financial statements.
CIBC considers losses to be reasonably possible when they are neither probable nor remote. It is reasonably possible that CIBC may incur losses in addition to the amounts recorded when the loss accrued is the mid-point of a range of reasonably possible losses, or the potential loss pertains to a matter in which an unfavourable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable.
CIBC believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of the amounts accrued, for its significant legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such an estimate, is from nil to approximately $0.7 billion as at January 31, 2025. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those significant proceedings in which CIBC is involved, taking into account CIBC’s best estimate of such losses for those cases for which an estimate can be made. CIBC’s estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of the liability has yet to be determined. The range does not include potential punitive damages. The matters underlying the estimated range as at January 31, 2025, consist of the significant legal matters disclosed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report as updated below. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate. For certain matters, CIBC does not believe that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in preliminary stages and certain matters have no specific amount claimed. Consequently, these matters are not included in the range.
The following developments related to our significant legal proceedings occurred since the issuance of our 2024 annual consolidated financial statements:
 
Quantum Biopharma v. CIBC World Mar
kets Inc., et al.:
In January 2025, CIBC World Markets Inc. filed motions to dismiss.
 
Salko v.
CIBC Investor Services Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., et al.:
In January 2025, the Quebec Court of Appeal dismissed the plaintiff’s appeal of the certification decision. The class action continues to be certified against CIBC Investor Services Inc. and other defendants, but is dismissed against CIBC World Markets Inc.
Other than the items described above, there are no significant developments in the matters identified in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report, and no new significant legal proceedings have arisen since the issuance of our 2024 annual consolidated financial statements.
