  • We continued to have strong credit performance, with CIBC's loan loss ratio of 26 basis points compared with 25 basis points in 2017.

Making a difference in our Communities

CIBC is committed to building a bank that is relevant to our clients, our team members and our communities. During the fourth quarter of 2018:

As a result of our adoption of IFRS 9 effective November 1, 2017, we now recognize provision for credit losses on both impaired and performing loans in the SBU. In prior periods, provision for credit losses on performing loans was recognized in Corporate and Other, with the exception of provision for credit losses on: (i) performing residential mortgages greater than 90 days delinquent; and (ii) performing personal loans and scored small business loans greater than 30 days delinquent, which was recognized in Canadian Personal and Small Business Banking.

(2)

For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section.

 

Net income was $668 million, up $117 million from the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income (2) was $669 million, up $46 million from the fourth quarter of 2017.

Revenue of $2,201 million was up $108 million from the fourth quarter of 2017. Personal and small business banking revenue increased primarily due to favourable spreads, higher volumes and higher fees.

Provision for credit losses of $191 million was up $8 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly due to a higher provision for credit losses on performing loans as a result of portfolio growth in the personal lending portfolio.

Non-interest expenses of $1,100 million were down $61 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly due to fees and charges related to the launch of Simplii Financial and the related wind-down of President's Choice Financial in 2017, shown as an item of note, partially offset by higher spending on strategic initiatives.

Net income for the quarter was $333 million, up $46 million from the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income(2) was $334 million, up $46 million from the fourth quarter of 2017.

Revenue of $986 million was up $64 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, driven by strong lending and deposit growth in commercial banking, and growth in fee-based revenue in our wealth management businesses.

Provision for credit losses was down $4 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to lower losses in the commercial banking portfolio.

Non-interest expenses of $521 million were comparable with the fourth quarter of 2017.

Revenue and income taxes are reported on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB) basis. Accordingly, revenue and income taxes include a TEB adjustment of nil for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 (July 31, 2018: $1 million; October 31, 2017: nil). The equivalent amounts are offset in the revenue and income taxes of Corporate and Other.

Included $9 million of accretion of the acquisition date fair value discount on the acquired loans of The PrivateBank, shown as an item of note, for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 (July 31, 2018:

$12 million; October 31, 2017: $31 million).

(4)

As a result of our adoption of IFRS 9 effective November 1, 2017, we now recognize provision for credit losses on both impaired and performing loans in the SBU. In prior periods, provision for credit losses on performing loans other than that of CIBC Bank USA was recognized in Corporate and Other.

(5)

For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section.

 

Net income for the quarter was $131 million, up $24 million from the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income(5) was $139 million, up $20 million from the fourth quarter of 2017.

Revenue of $457 million was up $35 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to loan growth and margin expansion at CIBC Bank USA.

Provision for credit losses of $40 million was down $8 million from the fourth quarter of 2017. The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up due to higher losses in CIBC Bank USA. The provision for credit losses on performing loans was down, primarily due to the establishment of a collective allowance (prior to our adoption of IFRS 9) for new loan originations and renewals of acquired loans relating to CIBC Bank USA in the fourth quarter of 2017, shown as an item of note.

Non-interest expenses of $264 million were up $29 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher spending on growth initiatives.

Revenue and income taxes are reported on a TEB basis. Accordingly, revenue and income taxes include a TEB adjustment of $30 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 (July 31, 2018: $43 million; October 31, 2017: $37 million). The equivalent amounts are offset in the revenue and income taxes of Corporate and Other.

Net income for the quarter was $233 million, compared with net income of $222 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted net income(3) for the quarter was $233 million, compared with $222 million for the prior year quarter.

Revenue of $649 million was up $27 million from the fourth quarter of 2017. In global markets, higher revenue from our equity derivatives, foreign exchange and interest rate trading businesses was partially offset by the movement in reserves related to derivative client exposures. In corporate and investment banking, lower investment portfolio revenue and lower debt underwriting revenue was partially offset by higher corporate banking and advisory revenue.

Reversal of credit losses was $4 million, compared with nil in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Non-interest expenses of $356 million were up $36 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher performance and employee-related compensation.

Revenue and income taxes of Capital Markets and U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management are reported on a TEB basis. The equivalent amounts are offset in the revenue and income taxes of Corporate and Other. Accordingly, revenue and income taxes include a TEB adjustment of $30 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2018 (July 31, 2018: $44 million; October 31, 2017: $37 million).

(2)

As a result of our adoption of IFRS 9 effective November 1, 2017, we now recognize provision for credit losses on both impaired and performing loans in the SBUs. In prior periods, provision for credit losses on performing loans was recognized in Corporate and Other, with the exception of provision for credit losses related to CIBC Bank USA, which was recognized in U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, and provision for credit losses on: (i) performing residential mortgages greater than 90 days delinquent; and (ii) performing personal loans and scored small business loans greater than 30 days delinquent, which was recognized in Canadian Personal and Small Business Banking. Provision for credit losses related to CIBC FirstCaribbean continues to be recognized in Corporate and Other.

(3)

For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section.

 

Net loss for the quarter was $97 million, compared with a net loss of $3 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower revenue, higher credit losses and higher non-interest expenses. Adjusted net loss (3) for the quarter was $11 million, compared with adjusted net income of $11 million for the prior year quarter.

Revenue of $159 million was down $51 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to losses recognized on debt securities in CIBC FirstCaribbean as a result of the Barbados government debt restructuring.

Provision for credit losses was $30 million, compared with a reversal of credit losses of $13 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher loan losses in CIBC FirstCaribbean resulting from the Barbados government debt restructuring noted above.

Non-interest expenses of $350 million were up $16 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly due to increased spending on strategic initiatives.

Income tax benefit was up $16 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, mainly due to the tax impact of the items noted above.

Non-GAAP measures

We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS or GAAP), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures useful in understanding how management views underlying business performance.

The following table provides a quarterly reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures related to CIBC on a consolidated basis. For a more detailed discussion and for an annual reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section of CIBC's 2018 Annual Report.

Transaction costs include legal and other advisory fees, financing costs associated with pre-funding the cash component of the merger consideration, and interest adjustments relating to the obligation payable to dissenting shareholders. Integration costs are comprised of direct and incremental costs incurred as part of planning for and executing the integration of the businesses of The PrivateBank (subsequently rebranded as CIBC Bank USA) and Geneva Advisors with CIBC, including enabling cross-sell opportunities and expansion of services in the U.S. market, the upgrade and conversion of systems and processes, project management, integration-related travel, severance, consulting fees and marketing costs related to rebranding activities. Purchase accounting adjustments, included as items of note beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, include the accretion of the acquisition date fair value discount on the acquired loans of The PrivateBank, the collective allowance established for new loan originations and renewals of acquired loans (prior to the adoption of IFRS 9 in the first quarter of 2018), and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration relating to the Geneva Advisors acquisition.

(2)

Relates to collective allowance (prior to the adoption of IFRS 9), except for: (i) residential mortgages greater than 90 days delinquent; (ii) personal loans and scored small business loans greater than 30 days delinquent; (iii) net write-offs for the card portfolio; and (iv) the collective allowance related to CIBC Bank USA, which are all reported in the respective SBUs.

A NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including in this news release, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in the "Core business performance", "Strong fundamentals", and "Making a difference in our Communities" sections of this news release, and the Management's Discussion and Analysis in our 2018 Annual Report under the heading "Financial performance overview – Outlook for calendar year 2019" and other statements about our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management, priorities, targets, ongoing objectives, strategies, the regulatory environment in which we operate and outlook for calendar year 2019 and subsequent periods. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "forecast", "target", "objective" and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would" and "could". By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions, including the economic assumptions set out in the "Financial performance overview – Outlook for calendar year 2019" section of our 2018 Annual Report, as updated by quarterly reports, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. 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: credit, market, liquidity, strategic, insurance, operational, reputation and legal, regulatory and environmental risk; 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 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations issued and to be issued thereunder, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Common Reporting Standard, and regulatory reforms in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's global standards for capital and liquidity reform, and those relating to bank recapitalization legislation and the payments system in Canada; amendments to, and interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions, and interest rate and liquidity regulatory guidance; the resolution of legal and regulatory proceedings and related matters; the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations; changes in our estimates of reserves and allowances; changes in tax laws; changes to our credit ratings; political conditions and developments, including changes relating to economic or trade matters; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts and terrorism; natural disasters, public health emergencies, 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 of assets, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or operational disruption; social media risk; losses incurred as a result of internal or external fraud; anti-money laundering; the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us concerning clients and counterparties; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us and our affiliates or associates; intensifying competition from established competitors and new entrants in the financial services industry including through internet and mobile banking; technological change; global capital market activity; changes in monetary and economic policy; currency value and interest rate fluctuations, including as a result of market and oil price volatility; 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; 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 synergies and benefits of the acquisition of PrivateBancorp, Inc. 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 news release represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting our shareholders and financial analysts in understanding our financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
