Toronto,May 29, 2024 – For the second quarter ended April 30, 2024, BMO Financial Group recorded net income of $1,866 million or $2.36 per share on a reported basis, and net income of $2,033 million or $2.59 per share on an adjusted basis.
“This quarter, we achieved strong pre-provision, pre-tax earnings growth and positive operating leverage, driven by continued momentum in Canadian personal and commercial banking and strengthening performance in our Capital Markets and wealth businesses. We’ve delivered on our commitments with expenses down, compared with last year and last quarter. Our balance sheet strength is evident in a CET1 ratio above 13%, robust customer deposit growth and appropriate provisioning for the credit environment, which continues to be impacted by prolonged high interest rates and a slowing economy,” said Darryl White, Chief Executive Officer, BMO Financial Group.
“We continue to position the bank for long-term growth. Our U.S. Segment is delivering pre-provision, pre-tax earnings growth and we’re executing against a proven U.S. growth strategy, including our One Client approach that brings the full scale of BMO to our customers. We’re building on a powerful platform that delivers competitive and differentiated products, advice and digital tools across our North American footprint. This quarter, BMO was ranked among Fast Company’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2024, the only Canadian and U.S. bank recognized out of more than 600 winning organizations – a recognition of the tangible outcomes of our investment in the innovative technologies that make banking easier for our customers,” concluded Mr. White.

Concurrent with the release of results, BMO announced a third quarter 2024 dividend of $1.55 per common share, an increase of $0.04 or 3% from the prior quarter and an increase of $0.08 or 5% from the prior year. The quarterly dividend of $1.55 per common share is equivalent to an annual dividend of $6.20 per common share.
Second Quarter 2024 Performance Review
Adjusted results and ratios in this section are on a non-GAAP basis. Refer to the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures section for further information on adjusting items. The order in which the impact on net income is discussed in this section follows the order of revenue, expenses and provision for credit losses, regardless of their relative impact.
Canadian P&C
Reported net income was $872 million, an increase of $53 million or 6% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $877 million, an increase of $55 million or 7%. Results reflected a 13% increase in revenue due to higher net interest income, driven by balance growth and higher margins, and higher non-interest revenue, partially offset by higher expenses and a higher provision for credit losses.
U.S. P&C
Reported net income was $543 million, a decrease of $188 million or 26% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $612 million, a decrease of $196 million or 24%.
On a U.S. dollar basis, reported net income was $398 million, a decrease of $141 million or 26% from the prior year, and adjusted net income, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, was $449 million, a decrease of $147 million or 25%. Results reflected lower revenue due to a decrease in net interest income, primarily from lower margins, and lower non-interest revenue, lower expenses and a higher provision for credit losses.
BMO Wealth Management
Reported net income was $320 million, an increase of $80 million or 33% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $322 million, an increase of $81 million or 33%. Wealth and Asset Management reported net income was $252 million, an increase of $41 million or 19%, and adjusted net income was $254 million, an increase of $42 million or 19%, with higher revenue due to growth in client assets, including stronger global markets, partially offset by lower deposit balances and net interest margins. Insurance net income was $68 million, an increase of $39 million from the prior year, primarily due to changes in portfolio positioning during the transition to IFRS 17.
BMO Capital Markets
Reported net income was $459 million, an increase of $89 million or 24% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $466 million, an increase of $88 million or 23%. Results reflected higher revenue, primarily due to Global Markets driven by higher interest rate trading and higher debt and equity issuance activity, and lower expenses, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses.
Corporate Services
Reported net loss was $328 million, compared with reported net loss of $1,131 million in the prior year, and adjusted net loss was $244 million, compared with adjusted net loss of $63 million. Reported results decreased, primarily due to the adjusting items noted above. Adjusted net loss increased due to lower revenue, driven by lower net accretion of purchase accounting fair value marks and the impact of treasury-related activities.
Capital
BMO’s Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio was 13.1% as at April 30, 2024, an increase from 12.8% at the end of the first quarter of 2024, driven by internal capital generation, common shares issued under the dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan and lower source-currency risk-weighted assets.
Credit Quality
Total provision for credit losses was $705 million, compared with a reported provision of $1,023 million and an adjusted provision of $318 million in the prior year. Adjusted provision for credit losses in the prior year excluded the initial provision on the purchased Bank of the West performing loan portfolio of $705 million. The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $658 million, an increase of $415 million due to higher provisions across operating segments, reflecting the impact of a higher interest rate environment. The provision for credit losses on performing loans was $47 million, compared with a reported provision of $780 million and an adjusted provision of $75 million in the prior year. The $47 million provision for credit losses on performing loans in the current quarter was primarily driven by portfolio credit migration and uncertainty in credit conditions, partially offset by an improvement in the macro-economic outlook, including the adoption of a fourth economic scenario.
Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report and Note 4 of our audited annual consolidated financial statements for further information on the allowance for credit losses as at October 31, 2023.

Bank of Montreal’s management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as at April 30, 2024, of Bank of Montreal’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian Securities Administrators) and has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2024, which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements.
As in prior quarters, Bank of Montreal’s Audit and Conduct Review Committee reviewed this document and Bank of Montreal’s Board of Directors approved the document prior to its release.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Bank of Montreal’s public communications often include written or oral forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in this document and may be included in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to: statements with respect to our objectives and priorities for fiscal 2024 and beyond; our strategies or future actions; our targets and commitments (including with respect to net zero emissions); expectations for our financial condition, capital position, the regulatory environment in which we operate, the results of, or outlook for, our operations or the Canadian, U.S. and international economies; plans for the combined operations of BMO and Bank of the West; and include statements made by our management. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “commit”, “target”, “may”, “schedule”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “seek” and “could” or negative or grammatical variations thereof.
By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific in nature. There is significant risk that predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not be correct, and that actual results may differ materially from such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections. We caution readers of this document not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, as a number of factors – many of which are beyond our control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements.
The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to: general economic and market conditions in the countries in which we operate, including labour challenges; the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, including Bank of the West, are not realized; changes to our credit ratings; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, and their impact on local, national or international economies, as well as their heightening of certain risks that may affect our future results; cyber and cloud security, including the threat of data breaches, hacking, identity theft and corporate espionage, as well as the possibility of denial of service resulting from efforts targeted at causing system failure and service disruption; technology resiliency; failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us; political conditions, including changes relating to, or affecting, economic or trade matters; climate change and other environmental and social risks; the Canadian housing market and consumer leverage; inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; technological innovation and competition; changes in monetary, fiscal or economic policy; changes in laws, including tax legislation and interpretation, or in supervisory expectations or requirements, including capital, interest rate and liquidity requirements and guidance, and the effect of such changes on funding costs and capital requirements; weak, volatile or illiquid capital or credit markets; the level of competition in the geographic and business areas in which we operate; 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 accuracy and completeness of the information we obtain with respect to our customers and counterparties; our ability to execute our strategic plans, complete proposed acquisitions or dispositions and integrate acquisitions, including obtaining regulatory approvals; critical accounting estimates and judgments, and the effects of changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations on these estimates; operational and infrastructure risks, including with respect to reliance on third parties; global capital markets activities; the possible effects on our business of war or terrorist activities; natural disasters and disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or water supply; and our ability to anticipate and effectively manage risks arising from all of the foregoing factors.
We caution that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible factors. Other factors and risks could adversely affect our results. For more information, please refer to the discussion in the Risks That May Affect Future Results section, and the sections related to credit and counterparty, market, insurance, liquidity and funding, operational non-financial, legal and regulatory, strategic, environmental and social, and reputation risk, in the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report, and the Risk Management section in this document, all of which outline certain key factors and risks that may affect our future results. Investors and others should carefully consider these factors and risks, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by the organization or on its behalf, except as required by law. The forward-looking information contained in this document is presented for the purpose of assisting shareholders and analysts in understanding our financial position as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, as well as our strategic priorities and objectives, and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document include those set out in the Economic Developments and Outlook section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report, as updated in the Economic Developments and Outlook section and the Risk Management – Update on General Economic Conditions section in our Second Quarter 2024 Report to Shareholders, as well as in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report, as updated in the Allowance for Credit Losses section in our Second Quarter 2024 Report to Shareholders. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies, as well as overall market conditions and their combined effect on our business, are material factors we consider when determining our strategic priorities, objectives and expectations for our business. In determining our expectations for economic growth, we primarily consider historical economic data, past relationships between economic and financial variables, changes in government policies, and the risks to the domestic and global economy.

Economic Developments and Outlook ^(1)^
Canada’s real gross domestic product (GDP) growth is estimated to have strengthened to an annual rate of 2.3% in the first calendar quarter of 2024, from 1.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023, amid support from government spending. However, consumer and business spending likely remained weak due to elevated interest rates. The weakness in the housing market in the past two years has stabilized, supported by strong population growth and somewhat lower mortgage rates. Real GDP is expected to grow in 2024 at a modest rate of 1.2%, before strengthening to 2.0% in 2025, in response to an expected reduction in interest rates. Despite sturdy job growth, the unemployment rate has risen by one percentage point in the past year to 6.1% in April 2024, due to a rapidly expanding labour force. The jobless rate is expected to rise moderately to 6.6% in the current year, before falling below 6.0% in 2025. Diminished labour shortages, weakened consumer demand, and improved supply chains have relieved upward pressure on inflation, reducing the year-over-year rate of the consumer price index to 2.7% in April 2024. Inflation is expected to return to the central bank’s 2.0% target in 2025. The Bank of Canada is anticipated to begin easing its policy stance this summer, eventually lowering the current policy rate from 5.0% to 4.25% in December 2024, and to 3.0% by the middle of 2026. Industry-wide growth in residential mortgage balances decelerated to 3.3% in March 2024, but is projected to stabilize as housing market activity improves. Year-over-year growth in consumer credit balances (excluding mortgages) has been restrained by high interest rates and elevated household savings and will likely remain around 3% in 2024. Growth in non-financial corporate credit balances has decelerated sharply in response to higher interest rates, elevated cash balances and repayment of pandemic-era government loans, and is expected to slow to approximately 3% in 2024.
U.S. real GDP growth slowed to an annual rate of 1.6% in the first quarter of 2024, from 3.4% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Consumer spending and non-residential business investment moderated, while residential construction continued to expand. Economic growth is anticipated to remain moderate in the current year due to elevated interest rates, tighter lending conditions and the resumption of student loan payments. However, federal government incentives to expand production of electric vehicles, batteries and semi-conductors are expected to support the economy. In 2024, real GDP is expected to grow 2.4%, slightly less than in the previous year. The unemployment rate, at 3.9% in April, is moderately above the current cycle low point and is projected to rise to 4.2% later this year. Tight labour market conditions continue to exert some pressure on inflation, causing the year-over-year rate of the consumer price index to increase to 3.4% in April 2024, from 3.1% in January 2024. However, inflation is projected to resume a gradual downward trend as the unemployment rate increases modestly in the current year. The Federal Reserve is anticipated to begin lowering its policy rate in the fall of 2024, though elevated inflation will likely limit the total reduction to 50 basis points in the current year. Policy rates should continue to decline in 2025, alongside lower inflation. Growth in industry-wide residential mortgage balances has slowed considerably as a result of ongoing weakness in home sales, though will likely stabilize in the current year in response to anticipated lower mortgage rates. Despite increased credit card usage, year-over-year growth in overall consumer loan balances has decelerated and is projected to remain low due to more moderate growth in consumer spending. Non-financial corporate credit growth has slowed due to stricter lending conditions and will likely remain impacted by weakness in the office real estate market, before strengthening later this year in response to lower interest rates.
The economic outlook is subject to several risks that could lead to a more adverse outcome for the North American economy. These include inflation staying above target and either delaying policy rate reductions or causing a renewed increase in rates, an increase in tensions between the United States and China relating to trade protectionism and Taiwan, and an escalation of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. In addition, economic uncertainty could increase depending on the outcome of the November 2024 presidential and congressional elections.

| (1) | Adjusted results exclude certain items from reported results and are used to calculate our adjusted measures as presented<br>in the above table. Management assesses performance on a reported basis and an adjusted basis, and considers both to be useful.

| (2) | Effective the first quarter of 2024, the bank adopted IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), recognizing the<br>cumulative effect of adoption in opening retained earnings and applied it retrospectively to fiscal 2023 results. For further information, refer to the Changes in Accounting Policies section. |

| (3) | Prior to November 1, 2022, we presented adjusted revenue on a basis that was net of insurance claims, commissions and<br>changes in policy benefit liabilities (CCPB). Beginning the first quarter of 2023, we no longer report CCPB given the adoption and retrospective application of IFRS 17. For periods prior to November 1, 2022, efficiency ratio and operating<br>leverage were calculated based on revenue, net of CCPB. Revenue, net of CCPB, was $10,126 million in Q2-2022 and $7,642 million in Q1-2022. Measures and<br>ratios presented on a basis net of CCPB are non-GAAP amounts.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures
Results and measures in this document are presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in Canadian dollars and have been derived from our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. References to GAAP mean IFRS. We use a number of financial measures to assess our performance, as well as the performance of our operating segments, including amounts, measures and ratios that are presented on a non-GAAP basis, as described below. We believe that these non-GAAP amounts, measures and ratios, read together with our GAAP results, provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses results.
Non-GAAP amounts, measures and ratios do not have standardized meanings under GAAP. They are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results.
For further information regarding the composition of our non-GAAP and other financial measures, including supplementary financial measures, refer to the Glossary of Financial Terms.
Our non-GAAP measures broadly fall into the following categories:
Adjusted measures and ratios
Management considers both reported and adjusted results and measures to be useful in assessing underlying ongoing business performance. Adjusted results and measures remove certain specified items from revenue, non-interest expense, provision for credit losses and income taxes, as detailed in the following table. Adjusted results and measures presented in this document are non-GAAP. Presenting results on both a reported basis and an adjusted basis permits readers to assess the impact of certain items on results for the periods presented, and to better assess results excluding those items that may not be reflective of ongoing business performance. As such, the presentation may facilitate readers’ analysis of trends. Except as otherwise noted, management’s discussion of changes in reported results in this document applies equally to changes in the corresponding adjusted results.
Tangible common equity and return on tangible common equity
Tangible common equity is calculated as common shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on tangible common equity is commonly used in the North American banking industry and is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed organically.
Measures net of insurance claims, commissions and changes in policy benefit liabilities
For periods prior to November 1, 2022, we presented adjusted revenue on a basis that is net of insurance claims, commissions and changes in policy benefit liabilities (CCPB), and our efficiency ratio and operating leverage were calculated on a similar basis. Measures and ratios presented on a basis net of CCPB are non-GAAP amounts. For more information, refer to the Insurance Claims, Commissions and Changes in Policy Benefit Liabilities section of the 2023 Annual MD&A. Beginning the first quarter of 2023, we no longer report CCPB given the adoption and retrospective application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17).

Capital is allocated to the operating segments based on the amount of regulatory capital required to support business activities. Effective the first quarter of fiscal 2024, our capital allocation rate increased to 11.5% of risk weighted assets, compared with 11.0% in 2023, to reflect increased regulatory capital requirements. Unallocated capital is reported in Corporate Services. Capital allocation methodologies are reviewed at least annually.

The table above indicates the relevant average Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rates and the impact of changes in those rates on BMO’s U.S. segment reported and adjusted results.
The Canadian dollar equivalents of BMO’s U.S. segment results that are denominated in U.S. dollars increased in the second quarter of 2024, relative to the first quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2023, due to changes in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate. References in this document to the impact of the U.S. dollar do not include U.S. dollar-denominated amounts recorded outside of BMO’s U.S. segment.
Economically, our U.S. dollar income stream was not hedged against the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates during 2024 and 2023. Changes in exchange rates will affect future results measured in Canadian dollars, and the impact on those results is a function of the periods in which revenue, expenses and provisions for (or recoveries of) credit losses and income taxes arise.
Refer to the Enterprise-Wide Capital Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report for a discussion of the impact that changes in foreign exchange rates can have on BMO’s capital position.
Net Income
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Reported net income was $1,866 million, an increase of $837 million from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $2,033 million, a decrease of $153 million or 7%. Reported earnings per share (EPS) was $2.36, an increase of $1.10, and adjusted EPS was $2.59, a decrease of $0.30.
Adjusted results in the current quarter and the prior year excluded the following items:
| • | Impact of an incremental U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment of $50 million<br>($67 million pre-tax) in the current quarter. |
|---|---|
| • | Acquisition and integration costs of $26 million ($36 million pre-tax)<br>in the current quarter and $549 million ($727 million pre-tax) in the prior year. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $79 million ($107 million pre-tax) in the current quarter and $85 million ($115 million pre-tax) in the prior year. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Impact of a lawsuit associated with a predecessor bank, M&I Marshall and Ilsley Bank, of $12 million<br>($15 million pre-tax) in the current quarter and $6 million ($7 million pre-tax) in the prior year. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Initial provision for credit losses of $517 million ($705 million<br>pre-tax) on the purchased Bank of the West performing loan portfolio in the prior year. |
| --- | --- |
The increase in reported net income reflected the items noted above and was primarily driven by lower acquisition and integration costs and the initial provision for credit losses related to the acquisition of Bank of the West the prior year. The decrease in adjusted net income reflected higher revenue and lower expenses, which were more than offset by a higher provision for credit losses. Net income increased in BMO Capital Markets, BMO Wealth Management and Canadian P&C, and decreased in U.S. P&C. Corporate Services net loss decreased on a reported basis and increased on an adjusted basis.
| BMO Financial Group Second Quarter Report 2024 13 |
|---|
Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024
Reported net income increased $574 million or 44% from the prior quarter, and adjusted net income increased $140 million or 7%. Reported EPS increased $0.63 from the prior quarter, and adjusted EPS increased $0.03, as higher adjusted net income was largely offset by higher dividends on preferred shares and distributions on other equity instruments.
Adjusted results in the current quarter excluded the items noted above and adjusted results in the prior quarter excluded the following items:
| • | Impact of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment of $313 million ($417 million<br>pre-tax). |
|---|---|
| • | A net accounting loss of $136 million ($164 million pre-tax) on the sale<br>of a $9.6 billion (US$7.2 billion) portfolio of recreational vehicle loans related to balance sheet optimization. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Acquisition and integration costs of $57 million ($76 million pre-tax).<br> |
| --- | --- |
| • | Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $84 million ($112 million pre-tax). |
| --- | --- |
| • | Impact of a lawsuit associated with a predecessor bank, M&I Marshall and Ilsley Bank, of $11 million<br>($15 million pre-tax). |
| --- | --- |
The increase in reported net income reflected a lower impact of the FDIC special assessment in the current quarter, the loss on the sale of the loan portfolio noted above, and lower acquisition and integration costs. The increase in adjusted net income primarily reflected higher revenue and lower expenses, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses. Net income increased in BMO Wealth Management and BMO Capital Markets, and decreased in our P&C businesses. Corporate Services recorded a lower net loss on both a reported and an adjusted basis, compared with the prior quarter.
Q2 YTD 2024 vs. Q2 YTD 2023
Reported net income was $3,158 million, an increase of $1,996 million from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $3,926 million, a decrease of $418 million or 10%. Reported EPS was $4.08, an increase of $2.66 from the prior year, and adjusted EPS was $5.14, a decrease of $0.80.
Reported results increased, primarily due to the impact of fair value management actions related to the acquisition of Bank of the West, the initial provision for credit losses on purchased performing loans, the impact of certain tax measures enacted by the Canadian government in the prior year, and lower acquisition and integration-related costs compared with the prior year, partially offset by the impact of the FDIC special assessment, the loss on the sale of the loan portfolio noted above and higher amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in the current year. Adjusted results decreased, as higher revenue was more than offset by higher expenses and a higher provision for credit losses. Net income increased in BMO Wealth Management and Canadian P&C, and decreased in U.S. P&C, while BMO Capital Markets was relatively unchanged from the prior year. Corporate Services net loss decreased on a reported basis and increased on an adjusted basis.

Revenue
Effective the first quarter of 2024, the bank adopted IFRS 17 and retrospectively applied it to fiscal 2023 results. Insurance results are now presented in non-interest revenue under Insurance Service Results and Insurance Investment Results. Insurance service results include insurance revenue, insurance service expenses and reinsurance results. Insurance investment results include net returns on insurance-related assets and the impact of the change in discount rates and financial assumptions on insurance contract liabilities. We no longer report insurance claims, commissions and changes in policy benefits as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Fiscal 2023 results may not be fully representative of our future earnings profile, as we were not managing our insurance portfolio under the new standard. For additional information, refer to Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Reported revenue was $7,974 million, an increase of $185 million, and adjusted revenue was $7,988 million, an increase of $192 million, both increasing 2% from the prior year. The increase in both reported and adjusted revenue reflected higher non-interest revenue, partially offset by lower net interest income.
Reported net interest income was $4,515 million, a decrease of $299 million or 6% from the prior year, and adjusted net interest income was $4,529 million, a decrease of $292 million or 6%, primarily due to lower trading-related net interest income. Net interest income increased in Canadian P&C, due to good volume growth and higher margins, and decreased in U.S. P&C and BMO Wealth Management, driven by lower margins, and in Corporate Services, reflecting lower net accretion of fair value marks. Trading-related net interest income was $14 million, a decrease of $228 million from the prior year, which was offset in trading non-interest revenue.
BMO’s overall reported net interest margin of 1.51% decreased 19 basis points from the prior year. Adjusted net interest margin, excluding trading-related net interest income, and trading and insurance assets was 1.82%, a decrease of 8 basis points, primarily due to lower net interest income in Corporate Services and lower margins in U.S. P&C and BMO Wealth Management, partially offset by higher margins in Canadian P&C and BMO Capital Markets. The impact of higher interest rates on deposit pricing and deposit mix was partially offset by the reinvestment of earning assets at higher yields.
Reported and adjusted non-interest revenue was $3,459 million, an increase of $484 million or 16% from the prior year, with increases across most categories. The increase was driven by higher trading revenue, underwriting and advisory fee revenue, the inclusion of the AIR MILES Reward Program
| 14 BMO Financial Group Second Quarter Report 2024 |
|---|
(AIR MILES), higher insurance investment results from changes in portfolio positioning during the transition to IFRS 17, and higher securities gains, other than trading.
Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024
Reported revenue increased $302 million or 4% from the prior quarter, and adjusted revenue increased $138 million or 2%. The increase in reported revenue included the loss on the sale of a loan portfolio in the prior quarter noted above. The increase in reported and adjusted revenue reflected higher non-interest revenue, partially offset by lower net interest income.
Reported net interest income decreased $206 million or 4% from the prior quarter, driven by lower trading-related net interest income and two fewer days in the current quarter. Trading-related net interest income decreased $114 million from the prior quarter, which was offset in trading non-interest revenue.
BMO’s overall reported net interest margin decreased 6 basis points from the prior quarter. Adjusted net interest margin, excluding trading-related net interest income, and trading and insurance assets, decreased 2 basis points, primarily due to lower margins in U.S. P&C and lower net interest income in Corporate Services, partially offset by higher margins in Canadian P&C.
Reported non-interest revenue increased $508 million or 17% from the prior quarter, and adjusted non-interest revenue increased $344 million or 11%. The increase in reported results included the loss on the sale of a loan portfolio in the prior quarter. Both reported and adjusted non-interest revenue increased across most categories, primarily driven by higher trading revenue and securities gains, other than trading.
Q2 YTD 2024 vs. Q2 YTD 2023
Reported revenue was $15,646 million, an increase of $2,758 million or 21% from the prior year. Adjusted revenue was $15,838 million, an increase of $926 million or 6%. The increase in reported revenue included the impact of fair value management actions related to the acquisition of Bank of the West in the prior year. The increase in adjusted revenue was driven by an additional quarter of Bank of the West results and strong growth in Canadian P&C, partially offset by lower revenue in Corporate Services.
Reported net interest income was $9,236 million, an increase of $401 million or 5% from the prior year. Adjusted net interest income was $9,264 million, relatively unchanged from the prior year, as increases in our P&C businesses were offset by lower trading-related net interest income and a decrease in Corporate Services. Trading-related net interest income was $142 million, a decrease of $385 million from the prior year, and was largely offset in trading non-interest revenue.
BMO’s overall reported net interest margin of 1.54% decreased 5 basis points from the prior year. Adjusted net interest margin, excluding trading-related net interest income, and trading and insurance assets was 1.83%, a decrease of 2 basis points, primarily due to lower net interest income and higher low-yielding assets in Corporate Services, partially offset by higher margins in Canadian P&C and BMO Capital Markets.
Reported non-interest revenue was $6,410 million, an increase of $2,357 million or 58%, due to the impact of the fair value management actions in the prior year. Adjusted non-interest revenue was $6,574 million, an increase of $893 million or 16%, with increases across most categories, and was primarily driven by higher trading revenue, underwriting and advisory fee revenue, insurance investment results from changes in portfolio positioning during the transition to IFRS 17, and the inclusion of AIR MILES.
Net interest income and non-interest revenue are detailed in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Total provision for credit losses was $705 million, compared with a reported provision of $1,023 million and an adjusted provision of $318 million in the prior year. Adjusted provision for credit losses in the prior year excluded the initial provision on the purchased Bank of the West performing loan portfolio of $705 million. Total provision for credit losses as a percentage of average net loans and acceptances ratio was 44 basis points, compared with 65 basis points on a reported basis and 20 basis points on an adjusted basis. The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $658 million, an increase of $415 million due to higher provisions across operating segments, reflecting the impact of a higher interest rate environment. The provision for credit losses on impaired loans as a percentage of average net loans and acceptances ratio was 41 basis points, compared with 16 basis points. There was a $47 million provision for credit losses on performing loans, compared with a provision of $780 million on a reported basis and $75 million on an adjusted basis in the prior year. The $47 million provision for credit losses on performing loans in the current quarter was primarily driven by portfolio credit migration and uncertainty in credit conditions, partially offset by an improvement in the macro-economic outlook, including the adoption of a fourth economic scenario.

Total gross impaired loans and acceptances (GIL) were $5,260 million, an increase from $4,259 million in the prior quarter. The increase in impaired loans was primarily in business and government lending, with the largest increases in the service, commercial real estate and wholesale industries. GIL as a percentage of gross loans and acceptances increased to 0.79% from 0.65% in the prior quarter.
Loans classified as impaired during the quarter were $1,988 million, an increase from $1,366 million in the prior quarter, reflecting higher impaired loan formations, primarily in the service, wholesale and commercial real estate industries.
Factors contributing to the change in GIL are outlined in the table above.
Non-Interest Expense
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Reported non-interest expense was $4,844 million, a decrease of $657 million or 12% from the prior year, and adjusted non-interest expense was $4,633 million, a decrease of $26 million or 1%.
Reported results reflected lower acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by the impact of an incremental U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance (FDIC) special assessment. Reported and adjusted non-interest expense decreased, primarily due to our continued focus on operational efficiencies, including realized cost synergies related to Bank of the West, partially offset by higher employee-related costs.
Reported efficiency ratio was 60.7%, compared with 70.6% in the prior year, and adjusted efficiency ratio was 58.0%, compared with 59.7%. Reported operating leverage was positive 14.3% and adjusted operating leverage was positive 3.0%.
Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024
Reported non-interest expense decreased $545 million or 10% from the prior quarter, and adjusted non-interest expense decreased $150 million or 3%.
The decrease in reported results primarily reflected a lower FDIC special assessment charge. Reported and adjusted non-interest expense decreased due to lower employee-related costs, reflecting the impact of stock-based compensation for employees eligible to retire that are expensed in the first quarter of each year.
Q2 YTD 2024 vs. Q2 YTD 2023
Reported non-interest expense was $10,233 million, an increase of $350 million or 4% from the prior year, and adjusted non-interest expense was $9,416 million, an increase of $624 million or 7%.
Reported results included the impact of lower acquisition and integration costs, partially offset by the FDIC special assessment charge and higher amortization of intangibles. Adjusted non-interest expense increased due to the impact of an additional quarter of Bank of the West results, net of realized cost synergies, and the inclusion of AIR MILES, partially offset by operational efficiencies and the impact of the consolidation of certain U.S. retirement benefit plans.
The reported efficiency ratio was 65.4%, compared with 76.7% in the prior year, and the adjusted efficiency ratio was 59.4%, compared with 58.9%.
Non-interest expense is detailed in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Provision for Income Taxes
The reported provision for income taxes was $559 million, an increase of $323 million from the second quarter of 2023, and an increase of $195 million from the first quarter of 2024. The reported effective tax rate for the current quarter was 23.1%, compared with 18.6% in the second quarter of 2023 and 22.0% in the first quarter of 2024. The adjusted provision for income taxes was $617 million, a decrease of $16 million from the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of $70 million from the first quarter of 2024. The adjusted effective tax rate was 23.3% in the current quarter, compared with 22.5% in the second quarter of 2023 and 22.4% in the first quarter of 2024.
The change in the reported effective tax rate in the current quarter, relative to the second quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, was primarily due to earnings mix, including the impact of higher income in the current quarter. The change in the adjusted effective tax rate in the current quarter, relative to the second quarter of 2023, was primarily due to earnings mix, including the impact of the elimination of the deduction for certain Canadian dividends due to proposed legislation, starting January 1, 2024. The change in the adjusted effective tax rate in the current quarter, relative to the prior quarter, was primarily due to earnings mix, including the impact of higher income in the current quarter.

Total assets were $1,374.1 billion as at April 30, 2024, an increase of $27.0 billion from October 31, 2023. The impact of the weaker U.S. dollar decreased assets by $5.2 billion, excluding the impact on derivative financial assets.
Cash and cash equivalents and interest bearing deposits with banks increased $2.2 billion, primarily due to higher balances held with central banks, driven by customer deposit growth in excess of loan growth, partially offset by lower wholesale funding balances in Corporate Services.
Securities increased $47.4 billion, primarily due to higher levels of client activity in BMO Capital Markets, higher balances in U.S. P&C, driven by the sale of a portfolio of recreational vehicle loans and the related purchase of senior securities for purposes of balance sheet optimization, and higher balances in Corporate Services.
Securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements increased $2.1 billion due to higher levels of client activity in BMO Capital Markets.
Net loans and acceptances decreased $4.1 billion. Business and government loans and acceptances increased $3.8 billion, with growth across all operating groups, partially offset by the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar. Consumer instalment and other personal loans decreased $11.7 billion, driven by lower balances in U.S. P&C, primarily due to the sale of the loan portfolio noted above, and lower balances in Corporate Services reflecting the exit and wind-down of our Canadian and U.S. indirect retail auto financing business. Residential mortgages increased $3.2 billion, driven by growth in our P&C businesses. Credit card balances increased $0.8 billion due to growth in Canadian P&C.
Derivative financial assets decreased $2.2 billion, driven by a decrease in the value of client-driven trading derivatives in BMO Capital Markets, with decreases in the fair value of interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of equity contracts.
Other assets decreased $18.4 billion, primarily in BMO Capital Markets, due to changes in the balance of unsettled securities transactions.
Liabilities increased $23.6 billion from October 31, 2023. The impact of the weaker U.S. dollar decreased liabilities by $4.8 billion, excluding the impact on derivative financial liabilities.
Deposits increased $26.7 billion. Customer deposits increased $22.1 billion, reflecting growth across all operating groups, partially offset by the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar. Other deposits increased $4.6 billion, driven by higher balances to fund Global Markets client activity, partially offset by lower wholesale funding in Corporate Services and the impact of the weaker U.S. dollar.
Derivative financial liabilities decreased $1.7 billion, due to a decrease in the value of client-driven trading derivatives in BMO Capital Markets, with decreases in the fair value of interest rate and foreign exchange contracts, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of equity contracts.
Securities lent or sold under repurchase agreements increased $14.6 billion due to higher levels of client activity in BMO Capital Markets.
| 18 BMO Financial Group Second Quarter Report 2024 |
|---|
Other liabilities decreased $16.0 billion, driven by changes in the balance of unsettled securities transactions in BMO Capital Markets, lower Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and lower acceptances, reflecting the transition of bankers’ acceptances balances to loans as a result of the cessation of the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR), partially offset by higher securitization liabilities in BMO Capital Markets.
Subordinated debt was relatively unchanged from October 31, 2023.
Equity increased $3.4 billion from October 31, 2023. Common shares increased $1.0 billion, as a result of shares issued under the dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $0.3 billion, primarily due to a decline in the accumulative other comprehensive loss on cash flow hedges, partially offset by losses on remeasurement of own credit risk on financial liabilities designated at fair value. Retained earnings increased $0.8 billion, as a result of net income earned in the year, partially offset by dividends and distributions on other equity instruments. Preferred shares and other equity instruments increased $1.4 billion (US$1.0 billion), due to the issuance of Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4 in the quarter.
Contractual obligations by year of maturity are outlined in the Contractual Maturities of Assets and Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments table in the Risk Management section.
Capital Management
BMO continues to manage its capital within the framework described in the Enterprise-Wide Capital Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
Second Quarter 2024 Regulatory Capital Review
BMO’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Ratio was 13.1% as at April 30, 2024, an increase from 12.8% at the end of the first quarter of 2024, driven by internal capital generation, common shares issued under the dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan (DRIP) and lower source currency risk-weighted assets (RWA).
CET1 Capital was $54.7 billion as at April 30, 2024, an increase from $52.9 billion as at January 31, 2024, due to the impact of foreign exchange movements, internal capital generation and common shares issued under the DRIP.
RWA were $418.0 billion as at April 30, 2024, an increase from $414.1 billion as at January 31, 2024. RWA increased primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange movements, an increase in asset size and changes in asset quality, partially offset by the impact of methodology updates and lower market risk RWA.
In calculating regulatory capital ratios, there is a requirement to increase total RWA when a capital floor amount calculated under the standardized approaches, multiplied by a capital floor adjustment factor, is higher than a similar calculation using more risk-sensitive internal modelled approaches, where applicable. The capital floor was not operative as at April 30, 2024, unchanged from January 31, 2024.
The bank’s Tier 1 and Total Capital Ratios were 14.9% and 17.0%, respectively, as at April 30, 2024, compared with 14.4% and 16.6%, respectively, as at January 31, 2024, primarily due to the same factors impacting the CET1 Ratio, as well as the issuance of US$1.0 billion Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4, partially offset by the announced preferred share redemptions.
The impact of foreign exchange movements on capital ratios was largely offset. BMO’s investments in foreign operations are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, and the foreign exchange impact of U.S. dollar-denominated RWA and capital deductions may result in variability in the bank’s capital ratios. We managed the impact of foreign exchange movements on our capital ratios.
Our Leverage Ratio was 4.3% as at April 30, 2024, an increase from 4.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2024, driven by higher Tier 1 Capital, partially offset by higher leverage exposures.
The bank’s risk-based Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) Ratio and TLAC Leverage Ratio were 28.0% and 8.0%, respectively, as at April 30, 2024, compared with 27.6% and 8.1%, respectively, as at January 31, 2024.
Regulatory Capital Developments
The Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB), applicable to domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), increased from 3.0% to 3.5%, effective November 1, 2023, as announced by OSFI in June 2023. On December 8, 2023, OSFI announced the DSB would remain unchanged.
The revised Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline, published by OSFI in October 2023, was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, and includes heightened regulatory capital requirements for mortgages with growing balances where payments are insufficient to cover the interest component.
The domestic implementation of the Basel III Reforms related to market risk and credit valuation adjustment risk, along with an increase in the capital floor adjustment factor from 65.0% to 67.5%, was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
The Parental Stand-Alone (Solo) TLAC Framework for D-SIBs, published by OSFI on September 12, 2023, was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. We exceed the minimum requirement of 21.5%.
Effective the first quarter of 2024, the bank adopted IFRS 17. Upon transition to IFRS 17, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for the measurement of investment properties under IAS 40, recorded in insurance-related assets. These changes did not have a material impact on regulatory capital ratios. Refer to the Changes in Accounting Policies section for further details.
Refer to the Enterprise-Wide Capital Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report for a more detailed discussion of regulatory developments.

Regulatory Capital, Leverage and TLAC
Regulatory capital requirements for BMO are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI, which are based on the Basel III framework developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), and include OSFI’s CAR Guideline and the Leverage Requirements (LR) Guideline. TLAC requirements are determined in accordance with OSFI’s TLAC Guideline. For more information refer to the Enterprise-Wide Capital Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
OSFI’s capital, leverage and TLAC requirements are summarized in the following table.

| (1) | The minimum CET1 Ratio requirement of 4.5% is augmented by the 3.5% Total Pillar 1 Capital buffers, which can absorb<br>losses during periods of stress. Pillar 1 Capital buffers, which will be met with CET1 Capital, include a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%, a Common Equity Tier 1 surcharge for domestic systemically important banks<br>(D-SIBs) of 1.0% and a countercyclical buffer, as prescribed by OSFI (immaterial for the quarter). If a bank’s capital ratios fall within the range of this combined buffer, restrictions on discretionary<br>distributions of earnings (such as dividends, share repurchases and discretionary compensation) would ensue, with the degree of such restrictions varying according to the position of the bank’s ratios within the buffer range.<br> | |||||||||||
| --- | --- | |||||||||||
| (2) | D-SIBs are required to meet a 0.5% Tier 1 Capital buffer requirement for the<br>Leverage and TLAC Leverage Ratios. | |||||||||||
| --- | --- | |||||||||||
| (3) | OSFI requires all D-SIBs to hold a Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) against Pillar<br>2 risks associated with systemic vulnerabilities. Breaches of the DSB do not result in a bank being subject to automatic constraints on capital distributions. In the event of a breach, OSFI would require a remediation plan, and would expect for the<br>plan to be executed in a timely manner. Banks may be required to hold additional buffers that are applicable to capital, leverage and TLAC ratios. | |||||||||||

If an NVCC trigger event were to occur, our NVCC instruments would be converted into BMO common shares pursuant to automatic conversion formulas, with a conversion price based on the greater of: (i) a floor price of $5.00; and (ii) the current market price of our common shares at the time of the trigger event (calculated using a 10-day weighted average). Based on a floor price of $5.00, these NVCC capital instruments would be converted into approximately 4.1 billion BMO common shares, assuming no accrued interest and no declared and unpaid dividends.
Other Capital Developments
During the quarter, we issued 3.8 million common shares for $475 million through the DRIP related to the dividend paid on February 27, 2024, and the exercise of stock options.
On May 25, 2024, we redeemed of all our outstanding 20 million Non-Cumulative 5-year Rate Reset Class B Preferred Shares, Series 27 (NVCC) for an aggregate total of $500 million and of all our outstanding 14 million Non-Cumulative 5-year Rate Reset Class B Preferred Shares, Series 46 (NVCC) for an aggregate total of $350 million.
On March 8, 2024, we issued US$1.0 billion 7.700% Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4. This issuance is classified as equity and forms part of our additional Tier 1 NVCC.
Dividends
On May 29, 2024, BMO announced that the Board of Directors had declared a quarterly dividend on common shares of $1.55 per share, a $0.04 increase from the prior quarter and an $0.08 increase from prior year. The dividend is payable on August 27, 2024, to shareholders of record on July 30, 2024. Common shareholders may elect to have their cash dividends reinvested in common shares of BMO, in accordance with the DRIP.
On February 27, 2024, we announced that commencing with the common share dividend declared for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, and subsequently thereafter until further notice, common shares under the DRIP will be purchased on the open market without a discount.
For the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any similar provincial and territorial legislation, BMO designates all dividends paid or deemed to be paid on both its common and preferred shares as “eligible dividends”, unless indicated otherwise.

Review of Operating Groups’ Performance
How BMO Reports Operating Group Results
BMO reports financial results for its three operating groups, one of which comprises two operating segments, all of which are supported by Corporate Units and Technology and Operations (T&O) within Corporate Services. Operating segment results include allocations from Corporate Services for treasury-related revenue, corporate and T&O costs, and capital.
BMO employs funds transfer pricing and liquidity transfer pricing between corporate treasury and the operating segments in order to assign the appropriate cost and credit to funds for the appropriate pricing of loans and deposits, and to help assess the profitability performance of each line of business. These practices also capture the cost of holding supplemental liquid assets to meet contingent liquidity requirements, as well as facilitating the management of interest rate risk and liquidity risk within our risk appetite framework and regulatory requirements. We review our transfer pricing methodologies at least annually, in order to align with our interest rate, liquidity and funding risk management practices, and update these as appropriate.
The costs of Corporate Units and T&O services are largely allocated to the four operating segments, with any remaining amounts retained in Corporate Services. Certain expenses, directly incurred to support a specific operating segment, are generally allocated to that operating segment. Other expenses are generally allocated across the operating segments in amounts that are reasonably reflective of the level of support provided to each operating segment. We review our expense allocation methodologies annually, and update these as appropriate.
Periodically, certain lines of business and units within our organizational structure are realigned within an operating group or transferred between operating groups and Corporate Services to support our strategic priorities. Allocations of revenue, expenses, provisions for income taxes and capital from Corporate Services to the operating groups are updated to better align with these changes.
Capital is allocated to the operating segments based on the amount of regulatory capital required to support business activities. Effective fiscal 2024, our capital allocation rate increased to 11.5% of risk-weighted assets, compared with 11.0% in fiscal 2023, in order to reflect an increase in capital requirements. Unallocated capital is reported in Corporate Services. We review our capital allocation methodologies at least annually.
Effective the first quarter of 2024, the bank adopted IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), and retrospectively applied it to fiscal 2023 results and opening retained earnings as at November 1, 2022. Insurance results are now presented in non-interest revenue under Insurance Service Results and Insurance Investment Results. Insurance service results include insurance revenue, insurance service expenses and reinsurance results. Insurance investment results include net returns on insurance-related assets and the impact of the change in discount rates and financial assumptions on insurance contract liabilities. We no longer report insurance claims, commissions and changes in policy benefits as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Upon transition to IFRS 17, we also voluntarily changed our accounting policy for the measurement of investment properties under IAS 40, Investment Properties (IAS 40), recorded in insurance-related assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet from cost to fair value. This change was applied retrospectively to fiscal 2023 results and opening retained earnings as at November 1, 2022. These changes did not have a material impact on regulatory capital ratios. Refer to the Changes in Accounting Policies section for further details.
Effective the first quarter of 2024, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for securities transactions from settlement date to trade date. This change was applied retrospectively, as if we always recorded securities transactions on trade date. As a result, there was an increase in other assets and other liabilities due to the earlier recognition of transactions, as well as the reclassification of certain balance sheet items. Fiscal 2023 comparatives have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s methodology.
Effective the first quarter of 2024, the allocation of certain items from Corporate Services to the operating groups was updated to align with the underlying business activity, including transfer pricing methodologies. Comparative results and ratios have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Effective the first quarter of 2024, balances and the associated revenue, expenses and provisions for credit losses related to our Canadian and U.S. indirect retail auto financing business, previously reported in Personal and Commercial Banking, are reported in Corporate Services, reflecting the exit and wind-down of this business unit. Fiscal 2023 comparatives have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
We analyze revenue at the consolidated level based on GAAP revenue as reported in the audited annual consolidated financial statements, rather than on a taxable equivalent basis (teb), which is consistent with our Canadian banking peer group. Like many banks, BMO analyzes revenue on a teb basis at the operating segment level. Revenue and the provision for income taxes in BMO Capital Markets and U.S. P&C are increased on tax-exempt securities to equivalent pre-tax amounts that facilitate comparisons of income from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The offset to the segment teb adjustments is reflected in Corporate Services revenue and provision for (recovery of) income taxes. Beginning January 1, 2024, we did not take the deduction for certain Canadian dividends received in BMO Capital Markets due to proposed legislation, and as a result, we no longer report this revenue on a teb basis. Refer to the Other Regulatory Developments section for further details.

The impact of the transition of bankers’ acceptances balances to loans resulted in lower lending fee revenue in our Commercial Banking business. Net interest margin of 2.80% increased 11 basis points from the prior year, due to deposits growing faster than loans and higher loan margins, partially offset by lower deposit margins.

Reported net income decreased $49 million or 5% from the prior quarter.
Total revenue increased $41 million or 1% from the prior quarter.

Non-interest revenue increased $141 million or 12%, primarily due to the inclusion of AIR MILES and higher card-related revenue, partially offset by lower lending fee revenue. Net interest margin of 2.78% increased 9 basis points from the prior year, due to higher loan margins and a change in mix due to deposits growing faster than loans, partially offset by lower deposit margins.
Personal and Business Banking revenue increased $483 million or 14%, due to higher net interest income and non-interest revenue. Commercial Banking revenue increased $67 million or 4%, due to higher net interest income, partially offset by lower non-interest revenue.

Adjusted results exclude the impact of the items described in footnotes (4) to (10).
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.
Q2 2024 vs. Q2 2023
Corporate Services reported net loss was $328 million, compared with reported net loss of $1,131 million in the prior year, and adjusted net loss was $244 million, compared with adjusted net loss of $63 million.
Reported results in the current quarter included the impact of an incremental U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment charge. Reported results in the prior year included the impact of an initial provision for credit losses on the purchased Bank of the West performing loan portfolio. Reported results in both the current and prior year included acquisition and integration costs related to Bank of the West. The lower reported net loss reflected the items noted above.
The higher adjusted net loss, which excluded the above items, was driven by lower revenue due to lower net accretion of purchase accounting fair value marks and the impact of treasury-related activities.
Q2 2024 vs. Q1 2024
Reported net loss was $328 million, compared with reported net loss of $822 million in the prior quarter, and adjusted net loss was $244 million, compared with adjusted net loss of $316 million.
On a reported basis, net loss decreased due to a lower FDIC special assessment charge in the current quarter and the loss on the sale of a portfolio of recreational vehicle loans in prior quarter, as well as lower acquisition and integration costs related to Bank of the West.
Adjusted net loss excluded the above items and decreased due to a lower provision for credit losses, lower expenses, and higher revenue. Adjusted expenses decreased, primarily driven by lower technology costs and the seasonal impact of employee benefits in the prior quarter, partially offset by the impact of the consolidation of certain U.S. retirement benefit plans in the prior quarter.
Q2 YTD 2024 vs. Q2 YTD 2023
Reported net loss was $1,150 million, compared with reported net loss of $3,261 million in the prior year. The prior year included the impact of fair value management actions related to the acquisition of Bank of the West, the initial provision for credit losses on the purchased Bank of the West performing loan portfolio, and a tax expense related to certain tax measures enacted by the Canadian government. The current year included the FDIC special assessment charge and the loss on the sale of the loan portfolio noted above. Both the current and prior years included acquisition and integration costs. The lower reported net loss primarily reflected the items noted above.
Adjusted net loss was $560 million, compared with adjusted net loss of $177 million in the prior year. Adjusted net loss excluded the items noted above and was driven by lower revenue and a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by lower expenses. Adjusted revenue decreased due to the impact of treasury-related activities, higher earnings on the investment of unallocated capital in the prior year in advance of the close of the Bank of the West acquisition, and lower net accretion of purchase accounting fair value marks.
Total provision for credit losses was $32 million, compared with a reported provision of $712 million and an adjusted provision of $7 million in the prior year. The provision for credit losses on impaired loans increased $5 million. The provision for credit losses on performing loans decreased $685 million from the prior year on a reported basis, and increased $20 million on an adjusted basis.
Adjusted expenses decreased, primarily due to lower employee-related costs, including the impact of the consolidation of certain U.S. retirement benefit plans.

Earnings in certain quarters are impacted by seasonal factors, such as higher employee expenses related to higher employee benefits and stock-based compensation for employees eligible to retire that are recorded in the first quarter of each year, as well as the impact of fewer days in the second quarter relative to other quarters. Results are also impacted by foreign currency translation. Quarterly EPS is impacted by the semi-annual payment of dividends on certain equity instruments. The table above outlines summary results for the third quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2024.
On February 1, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Bank of the West, which contributed to the increase in revenue, expenses and provision for credit losses beginning in the second quarter of 2023, with operating results primarily recorded in our U.S. P&C and BMO Wealth Management businesses. In addition, we completed the acquisition of AIR MILES on June 1, 2023, which contributed to the increase in revenue and expenses in our Canadian P&C business beginning in the third quarter of 2023. The impact of the transition to IFRS 17 was retrospectively applied to fiscal 2023 results, while fiscal 2022 results were reported under the previous insurance standard.
Financial performance benefitted from the strength and diversification of our businesses. Results were impacted by a higher interest rate environment resulting in an increase in net interest income, while uncertain economic conditions resulted in lower levels of client activity in our market-sensitive businesses, slowing loan demand, as well as higher provisions for credit losses.
A number of items impacted reported results in certain quarters. Both the second and first quarters of 2024 included the impact of a U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) special assessment. The first quarter of 2024 included a loss on the sale of a portfolio of recreational vehicle loans related to balance sheet optimization. The third quarter and first quarter of 2023 included the impact of certain tax measures enacted by the Canadian government. The second quarter of 2023 included an initial provision for credit losses on the purchased Bank of the West performing loan portfolio. The first quarter of 2023 and fiscal 2022 included revenue (losses) resulting from fair value management actions related to the impact of interest rate changes between the announcement and closing of the Bank of the West acquisition on its fair value and goodwill. The fourth quarter of 2022 included a legal provision related to a lawsuit associated with a predecessor bank, M&I Marshall and Ilsley Bank. All periods included acquisition and integration costs, as well as the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, which were higher in fiscal 2023, due to the acquisition of Bank of the West.
Revenue in our P&C businesses continues to benefit from customer acquisition and a high interest rate environment. Revenue growth in Canadian P&C reflected volume growth with higher loan and deposit balances, and higher net interest margins. U.S. P&C revenue performance in recent quarters was reflective of a more muted U.S. banking environment, with reduced loan demand and higher deposit costs, but benefitted from the inclusion of Bank of the West. Revenue in BMO Wealth Management benefitted from steady growth in client assets, while the impact of weaker global markets in fiscal 2023 negatively impacted non-interest revenue, and high interest rates resulted in a shift in deposit mix to term deposits and reduced margins. Insurance revenue is subject to variability, resulting from market-related impacts, including changes in portfolio positioning during the transition to IFRS 17. BMO Capital Markets’ performance in recent quarters reflects improving market conditions.
Over the past eight quarters, the higher interest rate environment has had a meaningful impact on credit outcomes, resulting in increasing provisions on impaired loans from very low levels and provisions on performing loans through downward credit migration. Performing loan provisions were also impacted by balance growth, partially offset by changes in the macro-economic outlook.
Non-interest expense growth reflected investments in our business to drive revenue growth, the impact of inflation and acquisitions. The third quarter of fiscal 2023 included severance costs associated with accelerating operational efficiencies across the enterprise, which combined with the benefit of realized cost synergies relates to Bank of the West, has reduced expense growth in recent quarters.
The effective tax rate has varied with legislative changes; changes in tax policy, including their interpretation by tax authorities and the courts; earnings mix, including the relative proportion of earnings attributable to the different jurisdictions in which we operate, the level of pre-tax income, and the level of investments or securities which generate tax credits, or tax-exempt income from securities. The reported effective tax rate was impacted by certain tax measures enacted or proposed to be enacted by the Canadian government noted above, and fair value management actions relating to the acquisition of Bank of the West in the first quarter of 2023 and in fiscal 2022. Beginning January 1, 2024, we did not take the deduction for certain Canadian dividends received in BMO Capital Markets due to proposed legislation, resulting in an increased effective tax rate in fiscal 2024.

Transactions with Related Parties
In the ordinary course of business, we provide banking services to our key management personnel on the same terms that we offer to our preferred customers for those services. Key management personnel are defined as those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and/or controlling the activities of an entity, being the directors and most senior executives of the bank. We provide banking services to our joint ventures and associates on the same terms offered to our customers for these services. We also offer employees a subsidy on annual credit card fees.
The bank’s policies and procedures for related party transactions did not materially change from October 31, 2023, as described in Note 27 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into a number of off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of operations. The most significant of these are structured entities, credit instruments and guarantees, which are described in the Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report. We consolidate our own securitization vehicles, certain capital and funding vehicles, and other structured entities created to meet our own, as well as our customer’s needs. We do not consolidate our customer securitization vehicles, certain capital vehicles, various BMO-managed funds or various other structured entities where investments are held. There have been no significant changes to the bank’s off-balance sheet arrangements since October 31, 2023.

Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments
Material accounting policies are described in BMO’s 2023 Annual Report and in the notes to our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023, and in Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, together with a discussion of certain accounting estimates that are considered particularly important as they require management to make significant judgments, some of which relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Readers are encouraged to review the discussion in Note 1 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report, as well as the updates provided in Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) consists of allowances on impaired loans, which represent estimated losses related to impaired loans provided for but not yet written off, and allowances on performing loans, which is the bank’s best estimate of impairment in the existing portfolio for loans that have not yet been individually identified as impaired. Expected credit losses (ECL) are calculated on a probability-weighted basis, based on the economic scenarios described below, and are calculated for each exposure in the portfolio as a function of the probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD) and loss given default (LGD), with the timing of the loss also considered. Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, remaining lifetime ECL is recorded; otherwise, 12 months of ECL is generally recorded. A significant increase in credit risk considers many different factors and will vary by product and risk segment. The main factors considered in making this determination are the change in PD since origination and certain other criteria, such as delinquency and watchlist status. We may apply experienced credit judgment to reflect factors not captured in the results produced by the ECL models, as we deem necessary. We applied experienced credit judgment to reflect the impact of the uncertain environment on credit conditions and the economy. We have controls and processes in place to govern the ECL process, including judgments and assumptions used in determining the allowance on performing loans. These judgments and assumptions may change over time, and the impact of any such change will be recorded in future periods.
In establishing our allowance for performing loans, we attach probability weightings to economic scenarios which are representative of our view of economic and market conditions. Effective the current quarter, we added a fourth scenario reflecting a less severe downside, allowing us to improve the continuum of ranges of economic forecasts used in the allowance estimation. The base scenario represents our view of the most probable outcome, as well as upside, downside, and severe downside scenarios, all developed by our Economics group.
When changes in economic performance are assessed, we use real GDP as the basis, which acts as the key driver for movements in many of the other economic and market variables used, including equity market and volatility indices, corporate credit spreads, unemployment rates, housing prices and consumer credit. In addition, we also consider industry-specific variables, where applicable. Many of the variables have a high degree of interdependency, and as such, there is no single variable to which the allowance is sensitive.
Our total allowance for credit losses as at April 30, 2024, was $4,478 million ($4,267 million as at October 31, 2023) and comprised an allowance on performing loans of $3,643 million and an allowance on impaired loans of $835 million ($3,572 million and $695 million, respectively, as at October 31, 2023). The allowance on performing loans increased $71 million from the fourth quarter of 2023, primarily driven by portfolio credit migration, model updates, balance changes and uncertainty in credit conditions, partially offset by an improvement in the macro-economic outlook, including the adoption of a fourth economic scenario, and the impact of the sale of a portfolio of recreational vehicle loans.
Information on the Provision for Credit Losses for the three months ended April 30, 2024, can be found in the Total Provision for Credit Losses section.
For additional information, refer to Risk Management section, Allowance for Credit Losses section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report, Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements, as well as Note 3 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Accounting Policies
IFRS 17***,*** Insurance Contracts **** and IAS 40***,*** Investment Property ****
Effective November 1, 2023, we adopted IFRS 17, which provides a comprehensive approach to accounting for all types of insurance contracts and replaced existing IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts. Upon transition to IFRS 17, we also voluntarily changed our accounting policy for the measurement of investment properties, included in insurance-related assets in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, from cost to fair value. These changes were applied retrospectively to fiscal 2023 results.
IFRS 9***,*** Financial Instruments ****
Effective November 1, 2023, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy to account for regular way contracts to buy or sell financial assets on trade date, instead of on settlement date, and applied this change retrospectively.
IAS 12***,*** Income Taxes ****
Effective November 1, 2023, we adopted an amendment to IAS 12, Income Taxes (IAS 12), which impacts note disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.
For additional information on the above changes, refer to Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Future Changes in Accounting Policies
We monitor the potential changes proposed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and analyze the effect that changes in the standards may have on BMO’s financial reporting and accounting policies. New standards and amendments to existing standards, which are effective for the bank in the future, can be found in Note 1 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report and in Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Other Regulatory Developments
We continue to monitor and prepare for regulatory developments, including those referenced elsewhere in this document.
For a comprehensive discussion of other regulatory developments, refer to the Enterprise-Wide Capital Management section, the Risks That May Affect Future Results section, the Liquidity and Funding Risk section, and the Legal and Regulatory Risk section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
Sustainability-Related Regulatory Developments
In March 2024, OSFI released updates to Guideline B-15 - Climate Risk Management to align with the International Sustainability Standards Board’s final IFRS S2 Climate-Related Disclosures Standard. We are incorporating these updates into our implementation plans to ensure we meet OSFI’s expectations for the first set of climate-related financial disclosures effective for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2024.
New Canadian Tax Measures
On November 30, 2023, the Canadian government introduced a bill in Parliament containing a number of measures, including a rule that would, in certain circumstances, deny deductions for dividends that are received after 2023. Beginning January 1, 2024, we no longer report this revenue related to certain Canadian dividends on a taxable equivalent basis in BMO Capital Markets.
On April 30, 2024, the Canadian government introduced a bill in Parliament that included the Global Minimum Tax Act. This Act will introduce a 15% global minimum tax on income earned by large multinational groups. We anticipate the global minimum tax rules will be effective for the bank’s fiscal year beginning November 1, 2024. For additional information, refer to Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Assessment
In November 2023, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) approved the final rule to implement the special assessment on depository institutions to recover the losses incurred in the deposit insurance fund that were attributable to the protection of uninsured depositors of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. BMO recorded a $417 million ($313 million after-tax) charge related to the FDIC special assessment in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. In February 2024, the FDIC provided an update to the special assessment on losses to the deposit insurance fund, as well as the potential recoveries expected to reduce these estimated losses. As a result, we recorded an additional charge of $50 million ($67 million pre-tax) in non-interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.
Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) Reform
The transition of Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) settings is in progress, and it is expected to be completed before the June 28, 2024 cessation date. Our overall CDOR and bankers’ acceptance exposures continue to decline and our CDOR derivative exposures will largely transition when central counterparties convert existing CDOR trades to Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average. For additional information regarding interest rate benchmarks, refer to Note 1 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.

Risk Management
BMO’s risk management policies and processes to identify, measure, manage, monitor, mitigate and report its credit and counterparty, market, insurance, liquidity and funding, operational, including technology and cyber-related risks, legal and regulatory, strategic, environmental and social, and reputation risks are outlined in the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
Top and Emerging Risks That May Affect Future Results
BMO’s top and emerging risks and other factors that may affect future results are described in the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report. The following is an update to the 2023 Annual Report.
Update on General Economic Conditions
Changing economic conditions can impact BMO’s financial results, operational efficiency, strategic direction and our clients and customers. Possible sources of risk to economic conditions may include the level of GDP growth, monetary and fiscal policies, interest rates, unemployment trends and geopolitical risk.
If interest rates remain high, our customers could be impacted by higher financing costs, resulting in continued credit migration, delinquencies and loan losses. Management monitors the economic environment regularly to understand any significant changes and impact on our operations, clients and customers. Appropriate actions are taken to respond to uncertainties and reduce impact on our bank’s results.
The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East continue to heighten geopolitical risks, with the potential of escalating, which could have adverse impacts on the economy and inflation, as well as on the bank, our customers, and our third-party relationships. In addition, economic uncertainty could increase, depending on the outcome of the November 2024 presidential and congressional elections. We continue to actively monitor and assess our businesses, and the impact on our customers and third parties.
For further information on the North American economic outlook, refer to the Economic Developments and Outlook section.

International Exposures
BMO’s geographic exposures outside of Canada and the United States are subject to a risk management framework that incorporates assessments of the economic and political risk in each region or country. These exposures are also managed within limits based on product, entity and country of ultimate risk. Our exposure to these regions as at April 30, 2024, is set out in the following table.
The table outlines total net exposure for funded lending and undrawn commitments, securities (including cash products, traded credit and credit default swap activity), repo-style transactions and derivatives. Repo-style transactions and derivatives exposure are reported as mark-to-market value. Derivatives exposure incorporates transaction netting where master netting agreements with counterparties have been entered into, and collateral offsets for counterparties where a Credit Support Annex is in effect.

Structural (Non-Trading) Market Risk
Our structural market risk strategy and profile remains consistent with prior periods. The net balance sheet is fully invested in an intermediate duration target interest rate profile. Structural economic value exposure to rising rates and benefit to falling rates increased relative to January 31, 2024, primarily due to modelled deposit pricing being more rate-sensitive at higher projected interest rate levels following the increase in term market rates during the current quarter.
Structural earnings benefit to rising interest rates and exposure to falling interest rates decreased modestly, relative to January 31, 2024.

Insurance Risk
The bank adopted IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17) effective November 1, 2023. IFRS 17 changes the fundamental principles used to recognize and measure insurance contracts, including life insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features. Under IFRS 17, the discount rates used to calculate the present value of insurance liabilities are no longer based on the assets supporting those liabilities, but rather on the features of the insurance liabilities themselves. As such, insurance market risk largely includes interest rate risk arising from our insurance business activities.
For additional information, refer to Note 1 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. Additional information on Insurance Risk governance can be found in the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
We entered into hedging arrangements to offset the impact of changes in interest rates on our earnings. The table below reflects the estimated immediate impact on, or sensitivity of, our net income to certain changes in interest rates and includes the estimated impact of the above hedging arrangements.

Insurance product risk is the risk that actual experience related to claims, benefit payments and expenses does not emerge as expected. We are exposed to various types of product risk relating to our insurance contracts including mortality, policyholder behaviour, including termination and surrender or lapse, expenses, morbidity and longevity.

Liquidity and Funding Risk
Liquidity and funding risk is managed under a robust risk management framework. There were no material changes in the framework during the quarter.
BMO continued to maintain a strong liquidity position in the second quarter of 2024. Both customer loans and deposits increased in the quarter, due to underlying growth and the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. Wholesale funding increased mostly from the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. BMO’s liquidity metrics, including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), remained well above internal targets and regulatory requirements.
BMO’s liquid assets are primarily held in our trading businesses, as well as in liquidity portfolios that are maintained for contingent liquidity risk management purposes and as investments of excess structural liquidity. Liquid assets include unencumbered, high-quality assets that are marketable, can be pledged as security for borrowings, and can be converted to cash in a time frame that meets our liquidity and funding requirements. BMO’s liquid assets are summarized in the table below.
In the normal course of business, we may encumber a portion of cash and securities holdings as collateral in support of trading activities and participation in clearing and payment systems in Canada, the United States and abroad. In addition, we may receive liquid assets as collateral and may re-pledge these assets in exchange for cash or as collateral in support of trading activities. Net unencumbered liquid assets, defined as on-balance sheet assets, such as BMO-owned cash and securities and securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements, plus other off-balance sheet eligible collateral received, less assets encumbered as collateral, totalled $384.0 billion as at April 30, 2024, compared with $377.7 billion as at January 31, 2024. The increase in unencumbered liquid assets was primarily due to higher cash and securities balances.
Net unencumbered liquid assets are primarily held at the parent bank level, at BMO Bank N.A., and in our broker/dealer operations. In addition to liquid assets, BMO has access to the Bank of Canada’s lending assistance programs, the Federal Reserve Bank discount window in the United States, the Bank of England’s Sterling Monetary Framework, and European Central Bank standby liquidity facilities. We do not consider central bank facilities as a source of available liquidity when assessing the soundness of our liquidity position.
In addition to cash and securities holdings, we may also pledge other assets, including mortgages and loans, to raise long-term secured funding. BMO’s total encumbered assets and unencumbered liquid assets are summarized in the Asset Encumbrance table.

Funding Strategy
BMO’s funding strategy requires that secured and unsecured wholesale funding used to support loans and less liquid assets must have a term (typically maturing in two to ten years) that will support the effective term to maturity of these assets. Secured and unsecured wholesale funding for liquid trading assets is largely shorter term (maturing in one year or less), aligned with the liquidity of the assets being funded, and is subject to limits on aggregate maturities that are permitted across different periods. Supplemental liquidity pools are funded largely with wholesale term funding.
We maintain a large and stable base of customer deposits that, in combination with our strong capital position, is a source of strength. This supports the maintenance of a sound liquidity position and reduces reliance on wholesale funding. Customer deposits totalled $676.4 billion as at April 30, 2024, increasing from $657.1 billion as at January 31, 2024, primarily driven by underlying deposit growth in Canadian P&C and the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar.
Total secured and unsecured wholesale funding outstanding, which largely consists of negotiable marketable securities, was $263.8 billion as at April 30, 2024, with $70.0 billion sourced as secured funding and $193.8 billion sourced as unsecured funding. Wholesale funding outstanding increased from $259.3 billion as at January 31, 2024, primarily due to the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar. The mix and maturities of BMO’s wholesale term funding are outlined in the following table. Additional information on deposit maturities can be found in the Contractual Maturities of Assets and Liabilities and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments section. We maintain a sizeable portfolio of unencumbered liquid assets, totalling $384.0 billion as at April 30, 2024, that can be monetized to meet potential funding requirements, as described in the Unencumbered Liquid Assets section above.

Diversification of our wholesale funding sources is an important part of our overall liquidity management strategy. BMO’s wholesale funding activities are well-diversified by jurisdiction, currency, investor segment, instrument type and maturity profile. BMO maintains ready access to long-term wholesale funding through various borrowing programs, including a European Note Issuance Program, Canadian, Australian and U.S. Medium-Term Note programs, Canadian and U.S. mortgage securitizations, Canadian credit card loans, auto loans and home equity line of credit (HELOC) securitizations, covered bonds, and Canadian and U.S. senior unsecured deposits.
Our wholesale funding plan seeks to ensure sufficient funding capacity is available to execute our business strategies. The funding plan considers expected maturities, as well as asset and liability growth projected for our businesses in our forecasting and planning processes, and assesses funding needs in relation to the sources available. The funding plan is reviewed annually by the senior management committees with specific related responsibilities and approved by the Risk Review Committee, and is regularly updated to reflect actual results and incorporate updated forecast information.
Additional information on Liquidity and Funding Risk governance can be found in the Liquidity and Funding Risk section of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report. Please also see the Risk Management section.
Credit Ratings
The credit ratings assigned to BMO’s short-term and senior long-term debt securities by external rating agencies are important in raising both capital and funding to support the bank’s business operations. Maintaining strong credit ratings allows us to access the wholesale markets at competitive pricing levels. Should BMO’s credit ratings experience a downgrade, our cost of funding may increase and our access to funding and capital through the wholesale markets could be constrained. A material downgrade of BMO’s ratings could also have other consequences, including those set out in Note 8 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of BMO’s 2023 Annual Report.
The credit ratings assigned to BMO’s senior debt by rating agencies are indicative of high-grade, high-quality issues.

We are required to deliver collateral to certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of BMO’s current credit rating. The incremental collateral required is based on mark-to-market exposure, collateral valuations and collateral threshold arrangements, as applicable. As at April 30, 2024, we would be required to provide additional collateral to counterparties totalling $200 million, $521 million and $1,031 million, as a result of a one-notch, two-notch and three-notch downgrade, respectively.

Liquidity Coverage Ratio
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is calculated in accordance with the OSFI’s LAR Guideline and is summarized in the following table. The LCR is calculated on a daily basis as the ratio of the stock of High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) held to total net stressed cash outflows over the next 30 calendar days. BMO’s HQLA primarily comprises cash, highly-rated debt issued or backed by governments, highly-rated covered bonds and non-financial corporate debt, and non-financial equities that are part of a major stock index. Net cash flows include outflows from deposits, secured and unsecured wholesale funding, commitments and potential collateral requirements, offset by permitted inflows from loans, securities lending activities and other non-HQLA debt maturing over a 30-day horizon. Weightings prescribed by OSFI are applied to cash flows and HQLA to arrive at the weighted values and the LCR. The LCR does not reflect liquidity in BMO Financial Corp. (BFC) in excess of 100%, because of limitations on the transfer of liquidity between BFC and the parent bank. Canadian domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), including BMO, are required to maintain a minimum LCR of 100%. The average daily LCR for the quarter ended April 30, 2024 was 128%, equivalent to a surplus of $52 billion above the regulatory minimum. The LCR decreased 1% from 129% in the prior quarter, as higher HQLA was more than offset by higher net cash outflows. While banks are required to maintain an LCR of greater than 100% in normal conditions, they are also expected to be able to utilize HQLA during a period of stress, which may result in an LCR of less than 100% during such a period. The LCR is only one measure of a bank’s liquidity position and does not fully capture all of its liquid assets or the funding alternatives that may be available during a period of stress. BMO’s total liquid assets are shown in the Liquid Assets table.

Net Stable Funding Ratio
The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is a regulatory liquidity metric that assesses the stability of a bank’s funding profile in relation to the liquidity value of its assets and is calculated in accordance with OSFI’s LAR Guideline. Unlike the LCR, which is a short-term metric, the NSFR assesses a bank’s medium-term and long-term resilience. The NSFR is defined as the ratio of the amount of available stable funding (ASF) to the amount of required stable funding (RSF). ASF represents the proportion of own and third-party resources that are expected to be reliably available over a one-year horizon (including customer deposits, long-term wholesale funding, and capital). The stable funding requirements for each institution are set by OSFI based on the liquidity and maturity characteristics of its on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet exposures. Weightings prescribed by OSFI are applied to notional asset and liability balances to determine ASF and RSF and the NSFR. Canadian domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), including BMO, are required to maintain a minimum NSFR of 100%. BMO’s NSFR was 115% as at April 30, 2024, equivalent to a surplus of $100 billion above the regulatory minimum. The NSFR decreased from 116% in the prior quarter, as higher available stable funding was more than offset by higher required stable funding.

Contractual Maturities of Assets and Liabilities andOff-Balance Sheet Commitments
The tables below show the remaining contractual maturities of on-balance sheet assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments. The contractual maturity of financial assets and liabilities is an input to, but is not necessarily consistent with, the expected maturity of assets and liabilities that is used in the management of liquidity and funding risk. We forecast asset and liability cash flows, under both normal market conditions and a number of stress scenarios, to manage liquidity and funding risk. Stress scenarios include assumptions for loan repayments, deposit withdrawals, and credit commitment and liquidity facility drawdowns by counterparty and product type. Stress scenarios also consider the time horizon over which liquid assets can be monetized and the related discounts (“haircuts”) and potential collateral requirements that may result from both market volatility and credit rating downgrades, among other assumptions.

Glossary of Financial Terms
Adjusted Earnings and Measures
Management considers both reported and adjusted results to be useful in assessing underlying ongoing business performance, as set out in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures section.
| • | Adjusted Revenue – calculated as revenue excluding the impact of certain non-recurring items, and adjusted net revenue is adjusted revenue, net of insurance claims,<br>commissions and changes in policy benefit liabilities (CCPB). Beginning the first quarter of 2023, we no longer report CCPB given the adoption and retrospective application of IFRS 17. |
|---|---|
| • | Adjusted Provision for Credit Losses – calculated as provision for credit losses excluding the impact of certain non-recurring items. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Adjusted Non-Interest Expense – calculated as non-interest expense excluding the impact of certain non-recurring items. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Adjusted Effective Tax Rate – calculated as adjusted provision for income taxes divided by adjusted income before provision for income taxes. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Adjusted Net Income – calculated as net income excluding the impact of certain non-recurring items. |
| --- | --- |
Allowance for Credit Losses represents an amount deemed appropriate by management to absorb credit-related losses on loans and acceptances and other credit instruments, in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Allowance on Performing Loans is maintained to cover impairment in the existing portfolio for loans that have not yet been individually identified as impaired. Allowance on Impaired Loans is maintained to reduce the carrying value of individually identified impaired loans to the expected recoverable amount.
Assets under Administration andAssets under Management refers to assets administered or managed by a financial institution that are beneficially owned by clients and therefore not reported on the Consolidate Balance Sheet of the administering or managing financial institution.
Asset-Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP) is a short-term investment. The commercial paper is backed by assets such as trade receivables and is generally used for short-term financing needs.
Average Annual Total Shareholder Return (TSR) represents the average annual total return earned on an investment in BMO common shares made at the beginning of a fixed period. The return includes the change in share price and assumes dividends received were reinvested in additional common shares.
Average Earning Assets represents the daily average balance of deposits at central banks, deposits with other banks, securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements, securities, and loans over a one-year period.
Average Earning Assets, excluding Trading and InsuranceAssets represents the daily average balance of deposits with central banks, deposits with other banks, securities borrowed or purchased under
resale agreements, securities, and loans, over a one-year period. Average earning assets, excluding trading and insurance assets, exclude trading and insurance earning assets.
Average Net Loans and Acceptances is the daily or monthly average balance of loans and customers’ liability under acceptances, net of the allowance for credit losses, over a one-year period.
Bail-In Debt is senior unsecured debt subject to the Canadian Bail-In Regime. Bail-in debt includes senior unsecured debt issued directly by the bank on or after September 23, 2018, which has an original term greater than 400 days and is marketable, subject to certain exceptions. Some or all of this debt may be statutorily converted into common shares of the bank under the Bail-In Regime if the bank enters resolution.
Bankers’ Acceptances (BAs) are bills of exchange or negotiable instruments drawn by a borrower for payment at maturity and accepted by a bank. BAs constitute a guarantee of payment by the bank and can be traded in the money market. The bank earns a “stamping fee” for providing this guarantee.
Basis Point is one one-hundredth of a percentage point.
Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs) are debt securities with multiple tranches, issued by structured entities and collateralized by a pool of mortgages. Each tranche offers different terms, interest rates, and risks.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Capital comprises common shareholders’ equity, including applicable CSM, net of deductions for goodwill, intangible assets, pension assets, certain deferred tax assets and other items, which may include a portion of expected credit loss provisions.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Ratio is calculated as CET1 Capital, which comprises common shareholders’ equity, including applicable CSM, net of deductions for goodwill, intangible assets, pension assets, certain deferred tax assets and other items (which may include a portion of expected credit loss provisions), divided by risk-weighted assets. The CET1 Ratio is calculated in accordance with OSFI’s Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline.
Common Shareholders’ Equity is the most permanent form of capital. For regulatory capital purposes, common shareholders’ equity comprises common shareholders’ equity, net of capital deductions.
Contractual Service Margin (CSM) represents the unearned profit of a group of insurance contracts that we expect to recognize in the income statement as services provided.
Credit and Counterparty Risk is the potential for financial loss due to the failure of an obligor (i.e., a borrower, endorser, guarantor or counterparty) to repay a loan or honour another predetermined financial obligation.
Derivatives are contracts, requiring no initial or little investment, with a value that is derived from movements in underlying interest or foreign exchange rates, equity or commodity prices or other indices. Derivatives are used to transfer, modify or reduce current or expected risks from changes in rates and prices.
Dividend Payout Ratio represents common share dividends as a percentage of net income available to common shareholders. It is computed by dividing dividends per share by basic earnings per share. Adjusted dividend payout ratio is calculated in the same manner, using adjusted net income.
Dividend Yield represents dividends per common share divided by the closing share price.
Earnings per Share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to bank shareholders, after deducting preferred share dividends and distributions on other equity instruments, by the average number of common shares outstanding. Adjusted EPS is calculated in the same manner, using adjusted net income attributable to bank shareholders. Diluted EPS, which is BMO’s basis for measuring performance, adjusts for possible conversions of financial instruments into common shares if those conversions would reduce EPS, and is more fully explained in Note 23 of the consolidated financial statements.
Earnings Sensitivity is a measure of the impact of potential changes in interest rates on the projected 12-month pre-tax net income from a portfolio of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions in response to prescribed parallel interest rate movements, with interest rates floored at zero.
Economic Capital is an expression of the enterprise’s capital demand requirement relative to its view of the economic risks in its underlying business activities. It represents management’s estimation of the likely magnitude of economic losses that could occur should severely adverse situations arise. Economic capital is calculated for various types of risk, including credit, market (trading and non-trading), operational non-financial, business and insurance, based on a one-year time horizon using a defined confidence level.
Economic Value Sensitivity is a measure of the impact of potential changes in interest rates on the market value of a portfolio of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet positions in response to prescribed parallel interest rate movements, with interest rates floored at zero.
Effective Tax Rate is calculated as provision for income taxes divided by income before provision for income taxes.
Efficiency Ratio (or Expense-to-Revenue Ratio) is a measure of productivity. It is calculated as non-interest expense divided by total revenue (on a taxable equivalent basis in the operating groups), expressed as a percentage.

Environmental and Social Risk is the potential for loss or harm directly or indirectly resulting from environmental and social factors that impact BMO or its customers, and BMO’s impact on the environment and society.
Fair Value is the amount of consideration that would be agreed upon in an arm’s-length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act in an orderly market transaction.
Forwards and Futures are contractual agreements to either buy or sell a specified amount of a currency, commodity, interest-rate-sensitive financial instrument or security at a specified price and date in the future. Forwards are customized contracts transacted in the over-the-counter market. Futures are transacted in standardized amounts on regulated exchanges and are subject to daily cash margin requirements.
Gross Impaired Loans and Acceptances (GIL) is calculated as the credit impaired balance of loans and customers’ liability under acceptances.
Guarantees and Standby Letters of Credit represent our obligation to make payments to third parties on behalf of a customer if the customer is unable to make the required payments or meet other contractual requirements.
Hedging is a risk management technique used to neutralize, manage or offset interest rate, foreign currency, equity, commodity or credit risk exposures arising from normal banking activities.
Impaired Loans are loans for which there is no longer a reasonable assurance of the timely collection of principal or interest.
Insurance Investment Results include net returns on insurance-related assets and the impact of the change in discount rates and financial assumptions on insurance contract liabilities.
Insurance Revenue, net of CCPB, is insurance revenue, net of insurance claims, commissions and changes in policy benefit liabilities (CCPB). Beginning the first quarter of 2023, we no longer report CCPB given the adoption and retrospective application of IFRS 17.
Insurance Risk is the potential for loss as a result of actual experience differing from that assumed when an insurance product was designed and priced, and comprises claims risk, policyholder behaviour risk and expense risk.
Insurance Service Results include insurance revenue, insurance service expenses and reinsurance results.
Legal and Regulatory Risk is the potential for loss or harm resulting from a failure to comply with laws or satisfy contractual obligations or regulatory requirements. This includes the risk of failure to: comply with the law (in letter or in spirit) or maintain standards of care; implement legal or regulatory requirements; enforce or comply with contractual terms; assert non-contractual rights; effectively manage disputes; or act in a manner so as to maintain our reputation.
Leverage Exposures (LE) consist of on-balance sheet items and specified off-balance sheet items, net of specified adjustments.
Leverage Ratio reflects Tier 1 Capital divided by LE.
Liquidity and Funding Risk is the potential for loss if we are unable to meet our financial commitments in a timely manner at reasonable prices as they become due. Financial commitments include liabilities to depositors and suppliers, as well as lending, investment and pledging commitments.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is a Basel III regulatory metric calculated as the ratio of high-quality liquid assets to total net stressed cash outflows over a thirty-day period under a stress scenario prescribed by OSFI.
Market Risk is the potential for adverse changes in the value of our assets and liabilities resulting from changes in market variables such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices and their implied volatilities, and credit spreads, and includes the risk of credit migration and default in our trading book.
Mark-to-Market represents the valuation of financial instruments at fair value (as defined above) as of the balance sheet date.
Master Netting Agreements are agreements between two parties designed to reduce the credit risk of multiple derivative transactions through the provision of a legal right to offset exposure in the event of default.
Model Risk is the potential for adverse outcomes resulting from decisions that are based on incorrect or misused model results. These adverse outcomes can include financial loss, poor business decision-making and damage to reputation.
Net Interest Income comprises earnings on assets, such as loans and securities, including interest and certain dividend income, less interest expense paid on liabilities, such as deposits. Net interest income, excluding trading, is presented on a basis that excludes trading-related interest income.
Net InterestMargin is the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets, expressed as a percentage or in basis points. Net interest margin, excluding trading net interest income and trading and insurance average assets is computed in the same manner, excluding trading-related interest income, and trading and insurance earning assets.
Net Non-Interest Revenue is non-interest revenue, net of insurance claims, commissions and changes in policy benefit liabilities (CCPB). Beginning the first quarter of 2023, we no longer report CCPB given the adoption and retrospective and application of IFRS 17.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) is the percentage of customers surveyed who would recommend BMO to a friend or colleague. Data is gathered in a survey that uses a 0–10 point scale. “Detractors” are defined as those who provide a rating of 0–6, “Passives” are defined as those who provide a rating of 7 or 8, and “Promoters” are defined as those who provide a rating of 9 or 10. The score is calculated by
subtracting the percentage of “Detractors” from the percentage of “Promoters”.
NetStable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is a regulatory liquidity measure that assesses the stability of a bank’s funding profile in relation to the liquidity value of its assets and is calculated in accordance with OSFI’s Liquidity Adequacy Requirements Guideline.
Notional Amount refers to the principal amount used to calculate interest and other payments under derivative contracts. The principal amount does not change hands under the terms of a derivative contract, except in the case of cross-currency swaps.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments consist of a variety of financial arrangements offered to clients, which include credit derivatives, written put options, backstop liquidity facilities, standby letters of credit, performance guarantees, credit enhancements, commitments to extend credit, securities lending, documentary and commercial letters of credit, and other indemnifications.
Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) is the government agency responsible for regulating banks, insurance companies, trust companies, loan companies and pension plans in Canada.
Operating Leverage is the difference between the growth rates of revenue and non-interest expense. Adjusted operating leverage is the difference between the growth rates of adjusted revenue and adjusted non-interest expense.
Operating Leverage, net of CCPB, is the difference between the growth rates of revenue, net of CCPB (net revenue), and non-interest expense. Adjusted net operating leverage is the difference between the growth rates of adjusted net revenue and adjusted non-interest expense. The bank evaluates performance using adjusted revenue, net of CCPB. Beginning the first quarter of 2023, we no longer report CCPB given the adoption and retrospective application of IFRS 17.
Operational Non-Financial Risk (ONFR) encompasses a wide range of non-financial risks, including those related to business change, customer trust, reputation and data that can result in financial loss. These losses can stem from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human error or misconduct, and external events that may directly or indirectly impact the fair value of assets we hold in our credit or investment portfolios. Examples of these risks include cyber and cloud security risk, technology risk, fraud risk and business continuity risk, but exclude legal and regulatory risk, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and other types of financial risk.
Options are contractual agreements that convey to the purchaser the right but not the obligation to either buy or sell a specified amount of a currency, commodity, interest-rate-sensitive financial instrument or security at a fixed future date or at any time within a fixed future period.
Pre-Provision, Pre-Tax Earnings (PPPT) is calculated as income before the provision for income

|---|
taxes and provision for (recovery of) credit losses. We use PPPT on both a reported and an adjusted basis to assess our ability to generate sustained earnings growth excluding credit losses, which are impacted by the cyclical nature of a credit cycle.
Provision for Credit Losses (PCL) is a charge to income that represents an amount deemed adequate by management to fully provide for impairment in a portfolio of loans and acceptances and other credit instruments, given the composition of the portfolio, the probability of default, the economic outlook and the allowance for credit losses already established. PCL can comprise both a provision for credit losses on impaired loans and a provision for credit losses on performing loans.
Provision for CreditLosses (PCL) Ratio is calculated as the annualized total provision for credit losses as a percentage of average net loans and acceptances.
Purchased CreditImpaired (PCI) Loans are loans for which the timely collection of interest and principal is no longer reasonably assured. These loans are credit-impaired upon initial recognition.
Reputation Risk is the potential for loss or harm to the BMO brand. It can arise even if other risks are managed effectively.
Return on Equity or Return on Common Shareholders’ Equity (ROE) is calculated as net income, less preferred dividends and distributions on other equity instruments, as a percentage of average common shareholders’ equity. Common shareholders’ equity comprises common share capital, contributed surplus, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and retained earnings. Adjusted ROE is calculated using adjusted net income rather than net income.
Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) is calculated as net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, as a percentage of average tangible common equity. Adjusted ROTCE is calculated using adjusted net income rather than net income.
Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA) are defined as on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures that are risk-weighted based on guidelines established by OSFI. The measure is used for capital management and regulatory reporting purposes.
SecuritiesBorrowed or Purchased under Resale Agreements are low-cost, low-risk instruments, often supported by the pledge of cash collateral, which arise from transactions that involve the borrowing or purchasing of securities.
Securities Lent or Sold under Repurchase Agreements are low-cost, low-risk liabilities, often supported by cash collateral, which arise from transactions that involve the lending or selling of securities.
Securitization is the practice of selling pools of contractual debts, such as residential mortgages, auto loans and credit card debt obligations, to third parties or trusts, which then typically issue a series of asset-backed securities to investors to fund the purchase of the contractual debts.
Strategic Risk is the potential for loss due to fluctuations in the external business environment and/or failure to properly respond to these fluctuations due to inaction, ineffective strategies or poor implementation of strategies.
Stress Tests are used to determine the potential impact of low-frequency, high-severity events on the trading and underwriting portfolios. The portfolios are measured daily against a variety of hypothetical and historical event scenarios. Scenarios are continuously refined to reflect the latest market conditions and portfolio risk exposures.
Structured Entities (SEs) include entities for which voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in determining control of the entity. BMO is required to consolidate a SE if it controls the entity by having power over the entity, exposure to variable returns as a result of its involvement and the ability to exercise power to affect the amount of those returns.
Structural (Non-Trading) Market Risk comprises interest rate risk arising from banking activities (loans and deposits) and foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency operations and exposures.
Swaps are contractual agreements between two parties to exchange a series of cash flows. The various swap agreements that BMO enters into are as follows:
| • | Commodity swaps – counterparties generally exchange fixed-rate and floating-rate payments based on a notional value of a single commodity. |
|---|---|
| • | Credit default swaps – one counterparty pays the other a fee in exchange for an agreement by the other counterparty to make a payment if a credit event occurs, such as bankruptcy or failure to pay. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Cross-currency interest rate swaps – fixed-rate and floating-rate interest payments and principal amounts are exchanged in different currencies. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Cross-currency swaps – fixed-rate interest payments and principal amounts are exchanged in different currencies. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Equity swaps – counterparties exchange the return on an equity security or a group of equity securities for a return based on a fixed or floating interest rate or the return on another equity security or<br>group of equity securities. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Interest rate swaps – counterparties generally exchange fixed-rate and floating- rate interest payments based on a notional value in a single currency. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Total return swaps – one counterparty agrees to pay or receive from the other cash amounts based on changes in the value of a reference asset or group of assets, including any returns such as interest earned<br>on these assets, in exchange for amounts that are based on prevailing market funding rates. |
| --- | --- |
Tangible Common Equity is calculated as common shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, net of related deferred tax liabilities.
Taxable Equivalent Basis (teb) : Operating segment revenue is presented on a taxable equivalent basis (teb). Revenue and the provision for income taxes in BMO Capital Markets and U.S. P&C are increased on certain tax-exempt securities to an equivalent pre-tax basis to facilitate comparisons of income between taxable and tax-exempt sources. The offset to operating segment teb adjustments is reflected in Corporate Services revenue and provision for (recovery of) income taxes.
Tier 1 Capital comprises CET1 Capital and Additional Tier 1 (AT1) Capital. AT1 Capital consists of preferred shares and other AT1 Capital instruments, less regulatory deductions.
Tier 1 Capital Ratio reflects Tier 1 Capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
Tier 2 Capital comprises subordinated debentures and may include certain credit loss provisions, less regulatory deductions.
Total Capital includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital.
Total CapitalRatio reflects Total Capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) comprises Total Capital and senior unsecured debt subject to the Canadian Bail-In Regime, less regulatory deductions.
Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) Ratio reflects TLAC divided by risk-weighted assets.
Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) Leverage Ratio reflects TLAC divided by leverage exposures.
Total Shareholder Return : The annual total shareholder return (TSR) represents the average annual total return earned on an investment in BMO common shares made at the beginning of the respective period. The return includes the change in share price and assumes dividends received were reinvested in additional common shares.
Trading and Underwriting Market Risk is associated with buying and selling financial products in the course of meeting customer requirements, including market-making and related financing activities, and assisting clients to raise funds by way of securities issuance.
Trading-Related Revenue includes net interest income and non-interest revenue earned from on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions undertaken for trading purposes. The management of these positions typically includes marking them to market on a daily basis. Trading-related revenue also includes income (expense) and gains (losses) from both on-balance sheet instruments and interest rate, foreign exchange (including spot positions), equity, commodity and credit contracts.
Value-at-Risk (VaR) measures the maximum loss likely to be experienced in the trading and underwriting portfolios, measured at a 99% confidence level over a one-day holding period. VaR is calculated for specific classes of risk in BMO’s trading and underwriting activities related to interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, equity and commodity prices and their implied volatilities.

Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
April 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
Bank of Montreal (the bank or BMO) is a chartered bank under the Bank Act (Canada) and is a public company incorporated in Canada. We are a highly diversified financial services company, providing a broad range of personal and commercial banking, wealth management and investment banking products and services. The bank’s head office is at 129 rue Saint Jacques, Montreal, Quebec. Our executive offices are at 100 King Street West, 1 First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario. Our common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) using the same accounting policies as disclosed in our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023, except as outlined below. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023. We also comply with interpretations of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by our regulator, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions of Canada (OSFI). These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on May 29, 2024.
Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR) Reform
Transition of Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) settings is in progress, and it is expected to be completed before the June 28, 2024 cessation date. Our overall CDOR and bankers’ acceptance (BA) exposures continue to decline and our CDOR derivative exposures will largely transition when central counterparties convert existing CDOR trades to Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average. For additional details regarding interest rate benchmarks, refer to Note 1 of our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements requires management to use estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, certain amounts reported in net income and other related disclosures.
The most significant assets and liabilities for which we must make estimates and judgments include the allowance for credit losses (ACL); financial instruments measured at fair value; pension and other employee future benefits; impairment of securities; income taxes and deferred tax assets; goodwill and intangible assets; insurance-related assets and liabilities; provisions including legal proceedings and severance charges; transfer of financial assets and consolidation of structured entities. We make judgments in assessing the business model for financial assets as well as whether substantially all risks and rewards have been transferred in respect of transfers of financial assets and whether we control structured entities. If actual results were to differ from the estimates, the impact would be recorded in future periods.
The economic outlook is subject to several risks that could lead to a more severe contraction of the North American economy, including inflation staying above target that either delays expected interest rate reductions or causes a renewed increase in rates, an escalation of geopolitical risks including wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and an increase in tensions between the United States and China relating to trade protectionism and Taiwan. The impact on our business, results of operations, reputation, financial performance and condition, including the potential for credit, counterparty and mark-to-market losses, our credit ratings and regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, as well as impacts to our customers and competitors, will depend on future developments, which remain uncertain. By their very nature, the judgments and estimates we make for the purposes of preparing our consolidated financial statements relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. However, we have detailed policies and internal controls that are intended to ensure the judgments made in estimating these amounts are well controlled and independently reviewed, and that our policies are consistently applied from period to period. We believe that our estimates of the value of our assets and liabilities are appropriate as at April 30, 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses
As detailed further in Note 1 of our annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2023, ACL consists of allowances on impaired loans, which represent estimated losses related to impaired loans in the portfolio provided for but not yet written off, and allowances on performing loans, which is our best estimate of impairment in the existing portfolio for loans that have not yet been individually identified as impaired.
The expected credit losses (ECL) model requires the recognition of credit losses generally based on 12 months of expected losses for performing loans and the recognition of lifetime losses on performing loans that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination.
The determination of a significant increase in credit risk takes into account many different factors and varies by product and risk segment. The bank’s methodology for determining significant increase in credit risk is based on the change in probability of default between origination, and reporting date, assessed using probability-weighted scenarios as well as certain other criteria, such as 30 days past due and watchlist status. The assessment of a significant increase in credit risk requires experienced credit judgment.
| BMO Financial Group Second Quarter Report 2024 <br>55 |
|---|
In determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and in calculating the amount of ECL, we must rely on estimates and exercise judgment regarding matters for which the ultimate outcome is unknown. These judgments include changes in circumstances that may cause future assessments of credit risk to be materially different from current assessments, which could require an increase or a decrease in the ACL. The calculation of ECL includes the explicit incorporation of forecasts of future economic conditions. We have developed models incorporating specific macroeconomic variables that are relevant to each portfolio. Key economic variables for our retail portfolios include primary operating markets of Canada, the United States and regional markets, where considered significant. Forecasts are developed internally by our Economics group, considering external data and our view of future economic conditions. We exercise experienced credit judgment to incorporate multiple economic forecasts, which are probability-weighted, in the determination of the final ECL. The allowance is sensitive to changes in both economic forecasts and the probability-weight assigned to each forecast scenario.
Additional information regarding the ACL is included in Note 3.
Insurance Contract Liabilities
Insurance contract liabilities represent estimates of fulfilment cash flows, which include a risk adjustment, and the contractual service margin (CSM). Fulfillment cash flows include estimates of future cash flows related to the remaining coverage period and for already incurred claims, which are then discounted and probability-weighted. This is based on non-financial risk assumptions including mortality, lapse and expenses, which are based on a combination of industry and entity specific data and in the case of expenses, on historical analysis of which expenses are attributable to insurance operations. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually and updated to reflect actual experience and market conditions. In addition, we add a risk adjustment for non-financial risk to bring the confidence level on the sufficiency for reserves to 70-80%. The CSM is a component of the liability representing the unearned profit we will recognize as we provide services.
Changes in Accounting Policy
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts
Effective November 1, 2023, we adopted IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), which provides a comprehensive approach to accounting for all types of insurance contracts and replaced existing IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 4).
IFRS 17 fundamentally changes the accounting for insurance contracts, with two key changes for the bank which impact the timing of income recognition:
Firstly, IFRS 17 requires us to group insurance contracts, where contracts have similar risks, were written in the same fiscal year and have similar expected profitability. IFRS 4 had no similar grouping requirement. We then measure these groups of contracts based on our estimates of the present value of future cash flows that are expected to arise as we fulfill the contracts, plus an explicit risk adjustment for insurance-specific risk. To the extent that future cash inflows exceed the future cash outflows, a CSM is recorded, representing unearned profits that will be recognized over the duration of the insurance contracts. If a group of insurance contracts is expected to experience losses, these losses are recorded in income immediately in non-interest revenue, insurance service results. Changes in expected fulfilment cash outflows, risk adjustment and CSM will be recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in insurance service results over the term of the related insurance contracts. We will use this approach for all insurance contracts, except for creditor insurance and direct participating contracts. We will apply a modified approach to our direct participating products, including segregated funds, whereby their initial measurement is consistent with other insurance contracts, but the fee variability is factored into the remeasurement over the contract coverage period. For our creditor business, with a coverage period of one year or less, we will defer premiums received and recognize them in income over the coverage period and recognize a liability for claims only once a loss is incurred.
Under IFRS 4, gains/losses on new contracts were previously recognized in income immediately.
The second key difference under IFRS 17 compared to IFRS 4 is the rate used to discount our insurance contract liabilities. Under IFRS 17, the discount rate is comprised of a risk-free rate and an illiquidity premium that reflects the characteristics of these liabilities. Under IFRS 4, the discount rate was connected to the yield of the assets held to support insurance contract liabilities. We have elected the accounting policy choice under IFRS 17 to recognize the impact of changes in the discount rate and financial assumptions on insurance contract liabilities in our Consolidated Statement of Income in non-interest revenue, insurance investment results.
On transition, we were required to apply a full retrospective approach, where we restated prior periods as if we had always applied IFRS 17, unless impracticable, in which case we were to apply either the modified retrospective approach, where we applied specific modifications to the full retrospective approach, or the fair value approach, where we determined the fair value of the CSM as the difference between the fair value of a group of contracts and our fulfilment cash flows at the date of transition. We applied the full retrospective approach to our creditor business and the fair value approach to all other products written prior to November 1, 2022. The impact of adopting IFRS 17 as at November 1, 2022 is an increase in assets of $1,075 million, an increase in liabilities of $2,181 million and a decrease in shareholders’ equity of $1,106 million after-tax. The CSM qualifies as Tier 1 Capital. We applied the change retrospectively, as though we had always accounted for insurance contracts under IFRS 17.
IAS 40 Investment Property
On transition to IFRS 17, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy for the measurement of investment properties, included in insurance-related assets in other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, from cost to fair value. This better aligns our returns on investment properties with gains and losses from our insurance business. IAS 40 Investment Property (IAS 40) permits either measurement approach. We applied the change retrospectively, as though we had always accounted for investment properties at fair value. The result was an increase in other assets of $132 million and an increase in shareholders’ equity of $132 million after-tax at November 1, 2022.

CSM from contracts issued in 2023 was $73 million and for the six months ended April 30, 2024 was $60 million. Total CSM as at April 30, 2024 was $1,698 million ($1,689 million as at October 31, 2023). This excludes the impact of any reinsurance held, which is not significant to the bank. Onerous contract losses in the three and six months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023 were not material.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
Effective November 1, 2023, we voluntarily changed our accounting policy to account for regular way contracts to buy or sell financial assets on trade date, instead of on settlement date. This change was applied retrospectively, as is required for changes in accounting policy, as if we always recorded securities transactions on trade date. Regular way contracts are contracts which will be settled within a timeframe established by market convention or regulation. The change resulted in an increase in both assets and liabilities of $52.5 billion as at October 31, 2023.
IAS 12 Income Taxes
Effective November 1, 2023, we adopted an amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes (IAS 12). This amendment narrows the IAS 12 exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences (e.g. leases and asset retirement obligations). Upon adoption of the amendment, we record separate deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the assets and liabilities that give rise to these temporary differences. There was no impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, as the balances are eligible for offset when levied by the same tax authority. This change impacts note disclosure only.
Future Changes in IFRS
IAS 12 Income Taxes
In May 2023, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12. The amendment addresses concerns around accounting for the global minimum top-up tax as outlined in the two-pillar plan for international tax reform developed by members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting. The amendment to IAS 12 includes temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes related to the top-up tax. We have applied the temporary mandatory relief related to deferred taxes in jurisdictions in which we operate where the top-up tax legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted. The minimum tax rules in these jurisdictions are not yet effective for us and we continue to assess their financial impact. We anticipate the global minimum tax rules will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2024.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18), which will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements , and will be effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2027. IFRS 18 requires changes to how information is grouped and presented in the financial statements, and requires that certain management performance measures be included in the financial statements. We are currently assessing the impact of the standard on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet is maintained at a level we consider adequate to absorb credit-related losses on our loans and other credit instruments. The ACL amounted to $4,478 million as at April 30, 2024 ($4,267 million as at October 31, 2023) of which $4,014 million ($3,807 million as at October 31, 2023) was recorded in loans and $464 million ($460 million as at October 31, 2023) was recorded in other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Significant changes in gross balances, including originations, maturities, sales, write-offs and repayments in the normal course of operations, impact the ACL.

The following tables show the continuity in the loss allowance by product type for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023. Transfers represent the amount of ECL that moved between stages during the period, for example, moving from a 12-month (Stage 1) to lifetime (Stage 2) ECL measurement basis. Net remeasurements represent the ECL impact due to transfers between stages, as well as changes in economic forecasts and credit quality. Model changes include new calculation models or methodologies.

Purchased Loans
As part of our acquisition of Bank of the West, we identified loans purchased as either purchased performing loans or PCI loans. As at April 30, 2024, purchased performing loans recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet totalled $50,354 million ($68,025 million as at October 31, 2023), including a remaining fair value mark of $(1,681) million ($(2,317) million as at October 31, 2023). As at April 30, 2024, PCI loans recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet totalled $152 million ($219 million as at October 31, 2023), including a remaining fair value mark of $(31) million ($(61) million as at October 31, 2023).
Loans Past Due Not Impaired
Loans that are past due but not classified as impaired are loans where our customers have failed to make payments when contractually due but for which we expect the full amount of principal and interest payments to be collected, or loans which are held at fair value. The following table presents loans that are past due but not classified as impaired as at April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2023. Loans less than 30 days past due are excluded as they are not generally representative of the borrower’s ability to meet their payment obligations.

ECL Sensitivity and Key Economic Variables
The ECL model requires the recognition of credit losses generally based on 12 months of expected losses for performing loans and the recognition of lifetime losses on performing loans that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination.
The allowance for performing loans is sensitive to changes in both economic forecasts and the probability-weight assigned to each forecast scenario. Many of the factors have a high degree of interdependency, although there is no single factor to which loan loss allowances as a whole are sensitive.
The upside scenario as at April 30, 2024 assumes a stronger economic environment than the base case forecast, with lower unemployment rates.
As at April 30, 2024, our base case scenario depicts a relatively weak economic environment in the near-term, largely in response to higher interest rates and tighter lending conditions, and a moderate economic recovery over the medium-term as inflation is expected to ease further and lead to lower interest rates later in 2024. Our base case forecast as at October 31, 2023 broadly depicted a similar economic environment over the projection period though with generally weaker financial conditions. If we assumed a 100% weight on the base case forecast and included the impact of loan migration by restaging, with other assumptions held constant, including the application of experienced credit judgment, the allowance on performing loans would be approximately $2,150 million as at April 30, 2024 ($2,625 million as at October 31, 2023), compared to the reported allowance for performing loans of $3,643 million ($3,572 million as at October 31, 2023).
Effective the current quarter, we added a fourth scenario reflecting a less severe downside which improves the continuum of economic forecasts used in the allowance estimation. As at April 30, 2024, our downside scenario assumes a significant escalation of the Ukraine war and a sharp contraction in the Canadian and U.S. economies in the near-term, followed by a relatively slow recovery. Our severe downside scenario depicts a deeper contraction in the Canadian and U.S. economies than in the downside scenario. The severe downside scenario as at October 31, 2023 broadly depicted a similar economic environment over the projection period. If we assumed a 100% severe downside economic forecast and included the impact of loan migration by restaging, with other assumptions held constant, including the application of experienced credit judgment, the allowance on performing loans would be approximately $6,550 million as at April 30, 2024 ($6,025 million as at October 31, 2023), compared to the reported allowance for performing loans of $3,643 million ($3,572 million as at October 31, 2023).
Actual results in a recession will differ as our portfolio will change through time due to migration, growth, risk mitigation actions and other factors. In addition, our allowance will reflect the four economic scenarios used in assessing the allowance, with weightings attached to each scenario often unequally and they will change through time.

The following tables show the key economic variables used to estimate the allowance on performing loans forecast over the next 12 months or lifetime measurement period. While the values disclosed below are national variables, we use regional variables in the underlying models and consider factors impacting particular industries where appropriate.

The ECL approach requires the recognition of credit losses generally based on 12 months of expected losses for performing loans (Stage 1) and the recognition of lifetime expected losses for performing loans that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since origination (Stage 2). Under our current probability-weighted scenarios, if all our performing loans were in Stage 1, our models would generate an allowance for performing loans of approximately $2,675 million ($2,800 million as at October 31, 2023), compared to the reported allowance for performing loans of $3,643 million ($3,572 million as at October 31, 2023).

Other Equity Instruments
On March 8, 2024, we issued US$1.0 billion 7.700% Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 4. This issuance, together with our AT1 notes and existing LRCNs are classified as equity and form part of our additional Tier 1 NVCC. The AT1 Notes and LRCNs are compound financial instruments that have both equity and liability features. On the date of issuance, we assigned an insignificant value to the liability components of both instruments and, as a result, the full amount of proceeds has been classified as equity and form part of our additional Tier 1 NVCC. Distributions on the LCRNs are recognized as a reduction in equity when payable. The AT1 Notes and LRCNs are subordinate to the claims of the depositors and certain other creditors in right of payment.

On October 19, 2023, we announced that we did not intend to exercise our right to redeem the current outstanding Non-Cumulative
5-Year Rate Reset Class B Preferred Shares, Series 44 (Preferred Shares Series 44) on November 25, 2023. As a result, subject to certain conditions, the holders of Preferred Shares Series 44 had the right, at their option, by November 10, 2023, to convert any or all of their Preferred Shares Series 44 on a one-for-one basis into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Class B Preferred Shares, Series 45 (Preferred Shares Series 45). During the conversion period, which ran from October 25, 2023 to November 10, 2023, 93,870 Preferred Shares Series 44 were tendered for conversion into Preferred Shares Series 45, which is less than the minimum 1,000,000 required to give effect to the conversion, as described in the Preferred Shares Series 44 prospectus supplement dated September 10, 2018. As a result, no Preferred Shares Series 45 were issued and the holders of Preferred Shares Series 44 retained their shares. The dividend rate for the Preferred Shares Series 44 for the five-year period commencing on November 25, 2023 to, but excluding, November 25, 2028, is 6.816%.
Shareholder Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan

Fair Value Hierarchy
We use a fair value hierarchy to categorize assets and liabilities carried at fair value according to the inputs we use in valuation techniques to measure fair value.
| 68<br> BMO Financial Group Second Quarter Report 2024 |
|---|
Valuation Techniques and Significant Inputs
We determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) when these are available. When quoted prices in active markets are not available, we determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using models such as discounted cash flows with observable market data for inputs, such as yields or broker quotes and other third-party vendor quotes (Level 2). Fair value may also be determined using models where significant market inputs are not observable due to inactive markets or minimal market activity (Level 3). We maximize the use of observable market inputs to the extent possible.
Our Level 2 trading securities are primarily valued using discounted cash flow models with observable spreads or broker quotes. The fair value of Level 2 FVOCI securities is determined using discounted cash flow models with observable spreads or third-party vendor quotes. Level 2 structured note liabilities are valued using models with observable market information. Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities are valued using industry standard models and observable market information.

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The table below presents the fair values of our significant Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the valuation techniques used to determine their fair values and the value ranges of significant unobservable inputs used in the valuations. We have not applied any other reasonably possible alternative assumptions to the significant Level 3 categories of private equity investments, as the net asset values are provided by the investment or fund managers.

All values are in US Dollars.
| (1) | The low and high input values represent the lowest and highest actual level of inputs used to value a group of financial instruments in a particular product category. These input ranges do not reflect the level of input uncertainty, but are affected by the specific underlying instruments within each product category. The input ranges will therefore vary from period to period based on the characteristics of the underlying instruments held at each balance sheet date. |
|---|---|
| (2) | Range of input values represents price per security adjustment (Canadian $). |

Significant Transfers
Our policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between fair value hierarchy levels at their fair values as at the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Transfers between the various fair value hierarchy levels reflect changes in the availability of quoted market prices or observable market inputs that result from changes in market conditions. Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 were due to reduced observability of the inputs used to value the securities. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 were due to increased availability of quoted prices in active markets.
The following tables present significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023:

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The tables below present a reconciliation of all changes in Level 3 financial instruments for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024 and April 30, 2023, including realized and unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings and other comprehensive income as well as transfers into and out of Level 3. Transfers from Level 2 into Level 3 were due to an increase in unobservable market inputs used in pricing the securities. Transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 were due to an increase in observable market inputs used in pricing the securities.

Note 7: Capital Management
Our objective is to maintain a strong capital position in a cost-effective structure that: is appropriate given our target regulatory capital ratios and our internal assessment of required economic capital; underpins our operating groups’ business strategies and considers the market environment; supports depositor, investor and regulator confidence, while building long-term shareholder value; and is consistent with our target credit ratings.
As at April 30, 2024, we met OSFI’s target capital ratio requirements, which include a 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer, a 1.0% Common Equity Surcharge for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), a Countercyclical Buffer and a 3.5% Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) applicable to D-SIBs. As announced by OSFI in June 2023, the DSB level was increased to 3.5% effective November 1, 2023. Our capital position as at April 30, 2024 is further detailed in the Capital Management section of our interim Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

Note 8: Employee Compensation
Stock Options
We did not grant any stock options during the three months ended April 30, 2024 or 2023. During the six months ended April 30, 2024 we granted a total of 1,113,853 stock options (1,322,817 stock options during the six months ended April 30, 2023) with a weighted-average fair value of $15.33 per option ($18.94 per option for the six months ended April 30, 2023).
To determine the fair value of the stock option tranches (i.e. the portion that vests each year) on the grant date, the following ranges of values were used for each option pricing assumption:
| For stock options granted during the six months ended | April 30, 2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected dividend yield | 4.5% | 4.5% - 4.6% | |
| Expected share price volatility | 17.4% - 17.6% | 20.9% | |
| Risk-free rate of return | 3.3% - 3.4% | 3.2% | |
| Expected period until exercise (in years) | 6.5 - 7.0 | 6.5 - 7.0 | |
| Exercise price () | 118.50 | 122.31 |
All values are in US Dollars.
Changes to the input assumptions can result in different fair value estimates.

We amended certain other employee future benefit plans in the first quarter of 2024. These amendments have combined the administration of a few plans. In addition, we converted one defined contribution plan into a defined benefit plan and therefore brought a net asset on our Consolidated Balance Sheet equal to the surplus assets in that plan. This resulted in an $84 million benefit of plan amendments that was recognized as a reduction in employee compensation expense. When there are surplus assets, we must assess their economic benefits to the bank. Given there are no immediate economic benefits without further plan amendments, the $62 million in surplus assets of the combined plans are reduced to $nil through other comprehensive income.
Note 9: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income, after deducting dividends payable on preferred shares and distributions payable on other equity instruments, by the daily average number of fully paid common shares outstanding throughout the period.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated in the same manner, with further adjustments made to reflect the dilutive impact of instruments convertible into our common shares.
The following tables present our basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 10: Income Taxes
Canadian tax authorities have reassessed us for additional income tax and interest in an amount of approximately $1,465 million in respect of certain 2011-2018 Canadian corporate dividends. These reassessments denied certain dividend deductions on the basis that the dividends were received as part of a “dividend rental arrangement.” In general, the tax rules raised by the Canadian tax authorities were prospectively addressed in the 2015 and 2018 Canadian federal budgets. We filed Notices of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada and the matter is in litigation. We remain of the view that our tax filing positions were appropriate and intend to challenge all reassessments. However, if such challenges are unsuccessful, the additional expense would negatively impact our net income.

We conduct our business through three operating groups, each of which has a distinct mandate. Our operating groups are Personal and Commercial Banking (P&C) (comprised of Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking (Canadian P&C) and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking (U.S. P&C)), BMO Wealth Management (BMO WM) and BMO Capital Markets (BMO CM), along with a Corporate Services unit.

The offset to the groups’ teb adjustments is reflected in Corporate Services revenue and provision for income taxes.

| (2) | Operating groups report on a teb. Revenue and the provision for income taxes are increased on <br>tax-exempt<br> securities to an equivalent <br>before-tax<br> basis to facilitate comparisons of income between taxable and <br>tax-exempt<br> sources. The offset to the groups’ teb adjustments is reflected in Corporate Services revenue and provision for income taxes. Beginning January 1, 2024, we did not take the deduction for certain Canadian dividends received in BMO CM due to proposed legislation, and as a result, we no longer report this revenue on a teb. |
