Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Ratio <br>(4)	12.2%	11.8%	11.9%

Results for the third quarter of 2023 were affected by the following items of note aggregating to a negative impact of $0.05 per share:

•	$34 million ($25 million <br>after-tax)<br> commodity tax charge related to the retroactive impact of the 2023 Canadian Federal budget (Canadian Personal and Business Banking); and
•	$23 million ($18 million <br>after-tax)<br> amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
---	---

Our CET1 ratio (4) was 12.2% at July 31, 2023, compared with 11.9% at the end of the prior quarter. CIBC’s leverage ratio (4)(5) and liquidity coverage ratio (4) at July 31, 2023 were 4.2% and 131%, respectively.

We delivered solid financial results in the third quarter despite a more challenging economic environment. The continued momentum in our core business performance reflects our disciplined approach to resource allocation and execution of our client-focused strategy. We continue to realize the benefits of our recent investments in technology and talent, enabling our team to do more to help our clients achieve their ambitions.

Core business performance

Canadian Personal and Business Banking

reported net income of $497 million for the third quarter, down $98 million or 16% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses and lower card fees, including from the commodity tax charge related to the retroactive impact of the 2023 Canadian Federal budget, shown as an item of note, partially offset by higher revenue mainly driven by higher net interest margin and volume growth, and lower non-interest expenses due to lower spending on strategic initiatives. Adjusted pre-provision,

pre-tax earnings (1) were $1,150 million, up $85 million from the third quarter a year ago, from higher revenue partially offset by higher adjusted (1) non-interest expenses mainly due to higher spending on strategic initiatives and employee-related costs.

Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management

reported net income of $467 million for the third quarter, down $17 million or 4% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher revenue. Higher revenue was primarily due to volume growth and higher deposit margins in commercial banking and higher fee-based revenue from market appreciation in wealth management, partially offset by lower revenue in wealth management primarily due to lower deposit volumes and commission revenue from decreased client activity. Expenses increased primarily due to higher spending on strategic initiatives, partially offset by lower employee-related and performance-based compensation as a result of lower wealth management revenue. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings (1) were $676 million, up $8 million from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue in commercial banking partially offset by lower wealth management revenue and higher expenses.

(1)	This measure is a <br>non-GAAP<br> measure. For additional information, see the <br>“Non-GAAP<br> measures” section, including the quantitative reconciliations of reported GAAP measures to: adjusted non-interest expenses and adjusted net income on pages 9 to 13; and adjusted <br>pre-provision,<br> <br>pre-tax<br> earnings on page 14.
(2)	CIBC completed a <br>two-for-one<br> share split of CIBC common shares effective at the close of business on May 13, 2022. All per common share amounts in this CEO message reflect the Share Split.
---	---
(3)	For additional information on the composition, see the “Glossary” section.
---	---
(4)	Our capital ratios are calculated pursuant to the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institution’s (OSFI’s) Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline and the leverage ratio is calculated pursuant to OSFI’s Leverage Requirements Guideline, all of which are based on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) standards. The July 31, 2023 results reflect the impacts from the implementation of Basel III reforms that became effective as of February 1, 2023. For additional information, see the “Capital management” and “Liquidity risk” sections.
---	---
(5)	The temporary exclusion of Central bank reserves from the leverage ratio exposure measure in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was no longer applicable beginning in the second quarter of 2023.

U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management

reported net income of $73 million (US$55 million) for the third quarter, down $120 million (US$97 million or 64%) from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses, lower fee income and higher employee-related costs, partially offset by higher revenue primarily driven by higher net interest margin and loan volume growth, and the impact of foreign currency translation. Adjusted pre-provision,

pre-tax earnings (1) were $334 million (US$251 million), up $47 million (US$26 million) from the third quarter a year ago, due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses.

Capital Markets

reported net income of $494 million for the third quarter, up $47 million or 11% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and a provision for credit losses in the current quarter compared with a provision reversal in the same quarter last year. Higher revenue from our global markets and direct financial services businesses was partially offset by lower investment portfolio gains. Expenses were up due to higher performance-based and employee-related compensation, and investments in our businesses. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings (1) were up $76 million or 13% from the third quarter a year ago due to higher revenue offset by higher expenses.

(1)	This measure is a <br>non-GAAP<br> measure. For additional information and a reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results, where applicable, see the <br>“Non-GAAP<br> measures” section.

Making a difference in our communities

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

•	Announced a $1.0 million donation to Trillium Health Partners Foundation in support of their Institute for Better Health. This investment will help advance research to improve equity in patient care through a better understanding of health disparities in the community, with a focus on cancer screening;
•	Were the proud official partner of the 27th edition of the Tour CIBC Charles-Bruneau, an annual event that raises funds and brings awareness to children living with pediatric cancer in Quebec. Team CIBC raised over $1.1 million, and the event overall raised $3.5 million; and
---	---
•	Supported communities affected by the wildfires in Nova Scotia and Alberta by donating $110,000 to local organizations through the CIBC Foundation’s Emergency Relief Funds and by making available financial relief, advice and support to affected clients.

A NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including in this report, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the SEC and in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the “safe harbour” provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in the “Financial performance overview – Economic outlook”, “Financial performance overview – Significant events”, “Financial performance overview – Financial results review”, “Financial performance overview – Review of quarterly financial information”, “Financial condition – Capital management”, “Management of risk – Risk overview”, “Management of risk – Top and emerging risks”, “Management of risk – Credit risk”, “Management of risk – Market risk”, “Management of risk – Liquidity risk”, “Accounting and control matters – Critical accounting policies and estimates”, “Accounting and control matters – Accounting developments”, and “Accounting and control matters – Other regulatory developments” sections of this report and other statements about our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management, priorities, targets and sustainability commitments (including with respect to net-zero emissions and our environmental, social and governance (ESG) related activities), ongoing objectives, strategies, the regulatory environment in which we operate and outlook for calendar year 2023 and subsequent periods. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “target”, “predict”, “commit”, “ambition”, “goal”, “strive”, “project”, “objective” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “would” and “could”. By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions, including the economic assumptions set out in the “Financial performance overview – Economic outlook” section of this report, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. Given the continuing impact of high inflation, rising interest rates, ongoing adverse developments in the U.S. banking sector which adds pressure on liquidity and funding conditions for the financial industry, the impact of hybrid work arrangements and higher interest rates on the U.S. real estate sector, potential recession and the war in Ukraine on the global economy, financial markets, and our business, results of operations, reputation and financial condition, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with our assumptions as compared to prior periods. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, affect our operations, performance and results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. These factors include: inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; geopolitical risk, including from the war in Ukraine, the occurrence, continuance or intensification of public health emergencies, such as the impact of COVID-19, and any related government policies and actions; credit, market, liquidity, strategic, insurance, operational, reputation, conduct and legal, regulatory and environmental risk; currency value and interest rate fluctuations, including as a result of market and oil price volatility; the effectiveness and adequacy of our risk management and valuation models and processes; legislative or regulatory developments in the jurisdictions where we operate, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Common Reporting Standard, and regulatory reforms in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s global standards for capital and liquidity reform, and those relating to bank recapitalization legislation and the payments system in Canada; amendments to, and interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions, and interest rate and liquidity regulatory guidance; exposure to, and the resolution of, significant litigation or regulatory matters, our ability to successfully appeal adverse outcomes of such matters and the timing, determination and recovery of amounts related to such matters; the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations; changes in our estimates of reserves and allowances; changes in tax laws; changes to our credit ratings; political conditions and developments, including changes relating to economic or trade matters; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine, and terrorism; natural disasters, disruptions to public infrastructure and other catastrophic events; reliance on third parties to provide components of our business infrastructure; potential disruptions to our information technology systems and services; increasing cyber security risks which may include theft or disclosure of assets, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or operational disruption; social media risk; losses incurred as a result of internal or external fraud; anti-money laundering; the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us concerning clients and counterparties; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us and our affiliates or associates; intensifying competition from established competitors and new entrants in the financial services industry including through internet and mobile banking; technological change; global capital market activity; changes in monetary and economic policy; general business and economic conditions worldwide, as well as in Canada, the U.S. and other countries where we have operations, including increasing Canadian household debt levels and global credit risks; climate change and other ESG related risks; our success in developing and introducing new products and services, expanding existing distribution channels, developing new distribution channels and realizing increased revenue from these channels; changes in client spending and saving habits; our ability to attract and retain key employees and executives; our ability to successfully execute our strategies and complete and integrate acquisitions and joint ventures; the risk that expected benefits of an acquisition, merger or divestiture will not be realized within the expected time frame or at all; and our ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements contained in this report represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting our shareholders and financial analysts in understanding our financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that is contained in this report or in other communications except as required by law.

Financial performance overview

Economic outlook

Global economic growth looks to be weak in 2023 in response to monetary policy tightening, as central banks attempted to ease demand and thereby bring inflation back to target levels, and below-normal growth could persist through the first half of 2024. The United Kingdom (U.K.) and some eurozone countries are likely to see recessions as higher interest rates hit a region already vulnerable due to the spillover from the war in Ukraine. China’s economy appears to be decelerating as it moves past one-time gains associated with the end of COVID-19 lockdowns. The global slowdown will result in most commodity prices at lower average levels in the remainder of 2023 than in 2022, although geopolitical risks to supply remain a risk for renewed upward pressure. Supply chains should continue to see further improvement from the reduction in COVID-19 disruptions, and from the expected easing in global demand pressures. Our outlook below reflects higher levels of interest rates in 2023 and 2024 relative to our outlook from the prior quarter.

In Canada, the Bank of Canada has increased the overnight rate to 5%, and could add a final quarter point to its tightening cycle in September if labour demand fails to ease sufficiently. The resulting economic slowdown should allow inflation to end next year near its 2% target. Weaker economic growth, improvements in supply chains, and softer average prices for food will be key to getting inflation back to that target. A flat period for real gross domestic product (GDP) in the latter half of the year is expected to hold growth to 1.6% for calendar 2023 as a whole, down from a growth rate of 3.4% in 2022. The flat end of year growth will include a further softening in housing and consumer spending in response to higher interest rates and a gradual climb in the unemployment rate to nearly 6% by the end of calendar 2023, up from an average of 5.3% in 2022. Long-term interest rates in both the U.S. and Canada could end 2023 at lower levels as the market starts to look ahead to an easing in central bank policy rates in 2024, and gains confidence that inflation will be under control. Lower interest rates and an improving global backdrop are expected to drive a pick-up in quarterly economic growth rates in the latter half of 2024.

In the U.S., the effort to contain inflation resulted in the Federal Reserve increasing the overnight rate to 5.50% in July 2023, with the potential for a further quarter point hike in September. The resulting drag on housing and interest sensitive consumption is expected to hold real GDP growth to just under 2% in calendar 2023, down from 2.1% in 2022. The unemployment rate is expected to climb from an average of 3.6% in 2022 to just over 4% by the end of 2023, allowing wage inflation to continue to decelerate. There are additional downside risks to the U.S. outlook associated with a potential tightening in lending activity owing to some regional banks facing challenges in retaining deposits, higher funding costs, and mark-to-market (MTM) losses on their investment security portfolios.

A softer pace for economic growth is likely to have broad implications across many of our strategic business units (SBUs). Rising unemployment and the increases in interest rates over the last six quarters are likely to have resulted in moderate decreases in business and household credit quality from very strong levels achieved in 2022. Decreases in credit quality in select portfolios, such as the U.S. office real estate market, could be more pronounced in response to worsening economic or market conditions. Deposit growth will be contained, as quantitative tightening will require bonds currently held by the central bank to be financed in the public markets, with higher rates resulting in greater growth in term deposits relative to short-term deposits. While we expect the rising interest rate environment to level off over the next quarter, we expect a modestly positive impact on the net interest margins for all our SBUs. However, the high interest rates may have implications for credit quality in 2023 and early 2024 as economic growth continues to slow in response to monetary tightening.

For Canadian Personal and Business Banking, mortgage growth is expected to remain soft in line with weaker home sale volumes and average house prices tied to the increase in interest rates. Although year-over-year non-mortgage consumer credit demand will be supported by additional volume gains in spending on services, lower inflation will contribute to slower growth in dollar terms. Business lending is expected to continue to grow, but at a decelerated pace relative to 2022.

Financial markets have had an increasingly optimistic outlook as softening in inflation has reduced the risks that a full blown recession will be needed to contain price pressures. While we could still see volatility ahead as earnings growth continues to decelerate, Canadian and U.S. wealth management businesses should benefit as the year progresses and markets look ahead to better growth in 2024.

Our Capital Markets business is expected to continue to benefit as merger and acquisition activity continues to recover from the low levels in early 2023, while corporate bond issuance could pick up if longer term rates ease going into 2024. Loan growth in our Canadian commercial banking business is expected to decelerate in the latter half of 2023 with softer economic growth and lower levels of residential construction. Loan growth and deposit growth in our U.S. commercial banking business has slowed in recent quarters, similar to industry experience. We believe that our relationship approach combined with our comprehensive product suite will continue to appeal to our clients and will continue to provide us with a sound funding foundation for our business.

The economic outlook described above reflects numerous assumptions regarding the economic impact of increases in interest rates, the easing of inflationary pressures, the impact from events in the U.S. banking sector, the impact of COVID-19, as well as the global economic risks emanating from the war in Ukraine. The measures taken by central banks to combat inflation could have a larger than expected impact on economic growth. The war in Ukraine could escalate into a broader conflict or result in a deeper cut in food and energy output that would add to pressures on inflation and global growth. As a result, actual experience may differ materially from expectations.

The impact of the increase in interest rates, the events in the U.S. banking sector, the impact of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine on our risk environment are discussed in the “Top and emerging risks” section. Changes in the level of economic uncertainty continue to impact key accounting estimates and assumptions, particularly the estimation of ECLs. See the “Accounting and control matters” section and Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements for further details.

Significant events

Sale of certain banking assets in the Caribbean

On October 12, 2021, FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited (CIBC FirstCaribbean) announced that it had entered into agreements to sell its banking assets in St. Vincent, St. Kitts, Grenada and Dominica. The sales of banking assets in St. Vincent and Grenada were completed on March 24, 2023 and July 14, 2023, respectively, upon the satisfaction of the closing conditions. The proposed transactions in St. Kitts and Dominica did not proceed and CIBC FirstCaribbean ceased its operations in Dominica on January 31, 2023. The impacts of these transactions and closures were not material.

Settlement of Cerberus Litigation

On February 17, 2023, CIBC announced that we entered into an agreement with the special purpose vehicle controlled by Cerberus Capital Management L.P. (“Cerberus”) that fully settled the lawsuit filed by Cerberus against CIBC, including the most recent judgment of the New York Court, as discussed in Note 13 to our interim consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, CIBC paid US$770 million to Cerberus in full satisfaction of the judgment, and both parties arranged for the immediate dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims, counterclaims and appeals relating to the litigation.

CIBC recorded a pre-tax provision of $1,169 million in the first quarter of 2023, representing damages and pre-judgment interest totaling US$855 million through January 31, 2023. The US$85 million ($114 million pre-tax or $82 million after-tax) difference between the amount recorded in the first quarter of 2023 and the settlement amount was recognized in the second quarter of 2023.

Financial results review

Reported net income for the quarter was $1,430 million, compared with $1,666 million for the same quarter last year, and $1,688 million for the prior quarter.

Adjusted net income (1) for the quarter was $1,473 million, compared with $1,724 million for the same quarter last year, and $1,627 million for the prior quarter.

Reported diluted EPS (2) for the quarter was $1.47, compared with $1.78 for the same quarter last year, and $1.76 for the prior quarter.

Adjusted diluted EPS (1)(2) for the quarter was $1.52, compared with $1.85 for the same quarter last year, and $1.70 for the prior quarter.

In the current quarter, the following items of note decreased revenue by $34 million, increased non-interest expenses by $23 million, decreased income taxes by $14 million and decreased net income by $43 million:

•	$34 million ($25 million <br>after-tax)<br> commodity tax charge related to the retroactive impact of the 2023 Canadian Federal budget (Canadian Personal and Business Banking); and
•	$23 million ($18 million <br>after-tax)<br> amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets ($5 million <br>after-tax<br> in Canadian Personal and Business Banking, $10 million <br>after-tax<br> in U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, and $3 million <br>after-tax<br> in Corporate and Other).
---	---

Net interest income

(3)

Net interest income was comparable to the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower trading net interest income, partially offset by volume growth across most of our businesses and the impact of foreign exchange translation.

Net interest income was up $49 million or 2% from the prior quarter, primarily due to the impact of additional days in the current quarter, higher net interest margin, volume growth across most of our businesses, and the impact of foreign exchange translation, partially offset by lower trading net interest income.

Net interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was up $172 million or 2% from the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher net interest margin, volume growth across most of our businesses, and the impact of foreign exchange translation, partially offset by lower trading net interest income.

Non-interest income

(3)

Non-interest income was up $279 million or 12% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher trading non-interest income, higher deposit and payment fees, higher credit fees, higher underwriting and advisory fees and higher fee-based revenue, partially offset by lower card fees, including from the commodity tax charge related to the retroactive impact of the 2023 Canadian Federal budget, shown as an item of note.

Non-interest income was up $99 million or 4% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher credit fees, higher trading non-interest income and higher fee-based revenue, partially offset by lower card fees, as noted above and lower revenue from our portfolio investments.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was up $862 million or 12% from the same period in 2022, primarily due to higher trading non-interest income, higher credit fees and higher gains from foreign exchange other than trading, partially offset by lower card fees, as noted above, lower commissions, lower fee-based revenue and lower underwriting and advisory fees.

(1)	Adjusted measures are <br>non-GAAP<br> measures. For additional information and a reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results, where applicable, see the <br>“Non-GAAP<br> measures” section.
(2)	On April 7, 2022, CIBC shareholders approved a <br>two-for-one<br> share split (Share Split) of CIBC’s issued and outstanding common shares. Each shareholder of record at the close of business on May 6, 2022 (Record Date) received one additional share on May 13, 2022 (Payment Date) for every one share held on the Record Date. All common share numbers and per common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Share Split as if it was retroactively applied to the beginning of 2022.
---	---
(3)	Trading activities include those that meet the risk definition of trading for regulatory capital and trading market risk management purposes. Starting in the first quarter of 2023, trading activities also include certain fixed income financing activities. The risk definition of trading for regulatory capital and trading market risk management is based on OSFI’s defined trading book criteria set out in OSFI’s CAR Guideline. Trading activities and related risk management strategies can periodically shift trading income between net interest income and <br>non-interest<br> income. Therefore, we view total trading income as the most appropriate measure of trading performance.

Provision for credit losses in the current quarter was $736 million, up $493 million from the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up primarily due to a more unfavourable change in our economic outlook. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up due to higher impairments across all SBUs.

Provision for credit losses was up $298 million from the prior quarter. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up largely due to an unfavourable change in our economic outlook for our retail portfolios and our U.S. commercial banking portfolio. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up due to higher impairments across all SBUs.

Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2023, was up $848 million from the same period in 2022. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up due to unfavourable credit migration, a more unfavourable change in our economic outlook and parameter updates. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up mainly due to higher impairments across all SBUs.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses were up $124 million or 4% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher employee-related and performance-based compensation, partially offset by lower professional fees and lower spending on strategic initiatives.

Non-interest expenses were up $167 million or 5% from the prior quarter, as the prior quarter included an adjustment to reduce legal provisions, shown as an item of note, and due to higher employee-related compensation.

Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 were up $1,589 million or 17% from the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in legal provisions in the first quarter of 2023, shown as an item of note, higher employee-related compensation and higher spending on strategic initiatives in the current period, partially offset by lower professional fees.

Taxes

Income tax expense was down $102 million or 21% from the same quarter last year and was down $59 million or 14% from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower income.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was up $105 million or 7% from the same period in 2022, primarily due to the Canada Recovery Dividend (CRD) tax and the retroactive impact of the 1.5% tax rate increase to the current period, partially offset by the impact of lower income before taxes in the current period.

The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has reassessed CIBC’s 2011–2018 taxation years for approximately $1,772 million of additional income taxes related to the denial of deductions of certain dividends on bases including that the dividends were part of a “dividend rental arrangement”. The reassessments for additional income taxes in respect of the 2018 taxation year are approximately $170 million. Subsequent taxation years may also be similarly reassessed. CIBC is confident that its tax filing positions are appropriate and intends to defend itself vigorously. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the interim consolidated financial statements.

In May 2023, CIBC lost its appeal at the Federal Court of Appeal from a Tax Court of Canada decision which denied our claim of a foreign exchange capital loss. The impact of the Federal Court of Appeal decision was reflected last quarter in our interim consolidated financial statements, as were offsets from other adjustments. Both the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal had previously heard a similar case on point and allowed the foreign exchange capital loss in question. In August 2023, CIBC filed a leave to appeal application with the Supreme Court of Canada. As previously disclosed, CIBC has potential exposure of approximately $100 million in respect of other similar matters.

In prior years, the CRA issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses (the Enron expenses). The CRA later entered into a settlement agreement with CIBC in respect to the portion of the Enron expenses deductible in Canada. CIBC has been working with the Internal Revenue Service to settle the portion of the Enron expenses deductible in the U.S. It is possible that adjustments may be required to the amount of tax benefits recognized in the U.S.

In the third quarter of 2023, the 2023 Budget Implementation Act (BIA 2023) enacted certain of the measures proposed by the 2023 Canadian Federal budget (Budget 2023). The application of goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax (GST/HST) on certain payment card network fees was enacted with retroactive and prospective effect. CIBC recognized a charge of $34 million in the third quarter of 2023 in respect of the application of the legislation to prior periods, which was treated as an item of note. The Budget 2023 measure that would deny deductions of dividends received by financial institutions on Canadian shares held as mark-to-market property (“Budget 2023 Dividend Proposal”) was not included in BIA 2023.

On August 4, 2023, the Department of Finance (Canada) released draft legislation to implement certain previously announced measures. These measures included application rules for a 15% global minimum tax under the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s two-pillar plan (OECD Pillar 2). Recent amendments to IAS 12 “Income Taxes” provide temporary mandatory relief from the accounting for deferred taxes arising from OECD Pillar 2. The draft legislative release also included a 2% tax on the net value of share buybacks by public corporations in Canada. The Budget 2023 Dividend Proposal was not included in the release. The global minimum tax rules will apply to CIBC as of its fiscal year commencing November 1, 2024, whereas the share buyback tax will apply as of January 1, 2024. The timing of the enactment of these rules remains uncertain. We are monitoring the status of these rules and will determine their impact when the legislation becomes substantially enacted.

Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The second quarter has fewer days as compared with the other quarters, generally leading to lower earnings. The summer months (July – third quarter and August – fourth quarter) typically experience lower levels of market activity, which affects our brokerage, investment management, and Capital Markets activities.

Revenue

Revenue in our lending and deposit-taking businesses is generally driven by volume growth, fees related to client transaction activity and the interest rate environment. Our wealth management businesses are driven by net sales activity impacting AUA and AUM, the level of client investment activity and market conditions. Capital Markets revenue is also influenced, to a large extent, by market conditions affecting client trading, underwriting and advisory activity.

Canadian Personal and Business Banking has benefitted from loan and deposit growth through the last eight quarters driven by organic client growth, franchising our client base, and the completion of the acquisition of the Costco credit card portfolio in the second quarter of 2022. In more recent periods, the rising rate environment has contributed to slower growth in loans and deposits and improved net interest margin, through wider deposit margins partially offset by compressed loan margins.

Table of Contents

Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management revenue has benefitted from commercial banking volume growth, offset by market-related headwinds in wealth management. In commercial banking, revenue growth was driven by robust client demand that has tempered in recent quarters and from an increase in interest rates. In wealth management, AUA and AUM growth and associated fee income has been impacted by volatility in equity markets along with the impact of macro environmental factors.

U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management has benefitted from increased loan volumes, AUM net flows and fee income. This is offset by market-related headwinds in wealth management due to market volatility, and the recent slowing in loan growth and deposit decreases. Wealth management AUA and AUM was impacted by significant market depreciation in 2022, but has recently experienced growth from market appreciation.

Capital Markets had lower trading revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2022. The first and second quarters of 2022, and the first quarter of 2023 had higher trading revenue, driven by robust market conditions and strong client activity.

Corporate and Other included the impact of an increase in funding costs starting in the second quarter of 2022 from an increase in credit spreads. Rising interest rates since the second quarter of 2022 have resulted in higher margins in International banking.

Provision for credit losses

Provision for credit losses is dependent upon the credit cycle, on the credit performance of the loan portfolios, and changes in our economic outlook. We continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment due to concerns related to higher levels of interest rates and inflation, geopolitical events and slower economic growth. There is considerable judgment involved in the estimation of credit losses in the current environment.

The fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 reflected a moderate improvement in economic conditions as well as our economic outlook. Faster than expected pace of interest rate increases, along with rising inflation, continued supply chain disruption and the increase in global geopolitical concerns, impacted our provision for credit losses on performing loans in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2022, and the third quarter of 2023. Unfavourable credit migration impacted our provision for credit losses on performing loans in the first, second and third quarters of 2023. An unfavourable outlook for the U.S. real estate and construction sector also contributed to an increase in provision for credit losses on performing loans in the second and third quarters of 2023.

In Canadian Personal and Business Banking, lower insolvencies and write-offs in credit cards relative to pre-pandemic levels impacted the fourth quarter of 2021, and the first and second quarters of 2022. The decrease in insolvencies was in line with the national Canadian trend and the decrease in write-offs was a benefit from the household savings that built up during the pandemic. Commencing in the second quarter of 2022, our loan losses included write-offs from the seasoning of the acquired Canadian Costco credit card portfolio. Starting from the third quarter of 2022, consumer write-offs have trended higher, gradually approaching pre-pandemic levels.

In Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, we have seen higher provisions on impaired loans in fiscal 2023.

In U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, the first, second and fourth quarters of 2022, and the first, second and third quarters of 2023 included higher provisions on impaired loans. The increased provision in the second and third quarters of 2023 was mainly attributable to the real estate and construction sector.

In Capital Markets, impaired loan losses have continued to remain low.

In Corporate and Other, provisions on impaired loans have remained stable.

Non-interest expenses

Non-interest expenses have fluctuated over the period largely due to changes in employee compensation expenses, investments in strategic initiatives and movement in foreign exchange rates. The fourth quarter of 2021, the second and fourth quarters of 2022, and the first quarter of 2023 included increases in legal provisions in Corporate and Other, all shown as items of note. The second quarter of 2023 included a decrease in legal provisions, shown as an item of note. The fourth quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2022 included charges related to the consolidation of our real estate portfolio as a result of our move to our new global headquarters, both shown as items of note.

Income taxes

Income taxes vary with changes in taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the income is earned. The first quarter of 2023 included an income tax charge taken to recognize the CRD tax and the retroactive impact of the 1.5% tax rate increase, which was shown as an item of note.

Non-GAAP measures

We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines as described below. Some measures are calculated in accordance with GAAP (IFRS), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures, which include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios as defined in National Instrument 52-112

“Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure”, useful in understanding how management views underlying business performance.

Adjusted measures

Management assesses results on a reported and adjusted basis and considers both as useful measures of performance. Adjusted measures, which include adjusted total revenue, adjusted provision for credit losses, adjusted non-interest expenses, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income taxes and adjusted net income, in addition to the adjusted measures noted below, remove items of note from reported results to calculate our adjusted results. Items of note include the amortization of intangible assets, and certain items of significance that arise from time to time which management believes are not reflective of underlying business performance. We believe that adjusted measures provide the reader with a better understanding of how management assesses underlying business performance and facilitates a more informed analysis of trends. While we believe that adjusted measures may facilitate comparisons between our results and those of some of our Canadian peer banks, which make similar adjustments in their public disclosure, it should be noted that there is no standardized meaning for adjusted measures under GAAP.

We also adjust our results to gross up tax-exempt revenue on certain securities to a TEB, being the amount of fully taxable revenue, which, were it to have incurred tax at the statutory income tax rate, would yield the same after-tax revenue. See the “Strategic business units overview” section and Note 30 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report for further details.

Adjusted diluted EPS

We adjust our reported diluted EPS to remove the impact of items of note, net of income taxes, to calculate the adjusted EPS.

Adjusted efficiency ratio

We adjust our reported revenue and non-interest expenses to remove the impact of items of note and gross up tax-exempt revenue to bring it to a TEB, to calculate the adjusted efficiency ratio.

Adjusted operating leverage

We adjust our reported revenue and non-interest expenses to remove the impact of items of note and gross up tax-exempt revenue to bring it to a TEB, to calculate the adjusted operating leverage.

Adjusted dividend payout ratio

We adjust our reported net income attributable to common shareholders to remove the impact of items of note, net of income taxes, to calculate the adjusted dividend payout ratio.

Adjusted return on common shareholders’ equity

We adjust our reported net income attributable to common shareholders to remove the impact of items of note, net of income taxes, to calculate the adjusted return on common shareholders’ equity.

Adjusted effective tax rate

We adjust our reported income before income taxes and reported income taxes to remove the impact of items of note, to calculate the adjusted effective tax rate.

Pre-provision,

pre-tax earnings

Pre-provision,

pre-tax earnings is calculated as revenue net of non-interest expenses, and provides the reader with an assessment of our ability to generate earnings to cover credit losses through the credit cycle, as well as an additional basis for comparing underlying business performance between periods by excluding the impact of provision for credit losses, which involves the application of judgments and estimates related to matters that are uncertain and can vary significantly between periods. We adjust our pre-provision,

pre-tax earnings to remove the impact of items of note to calculate the adjusted pre-provision,

pre-tax earnings. As discussed above, we believe that adjusted measures provide the reader with a better understanding of how management assesses underlying business performance and facilitates a more informed analysis of trends.

Allocated common equity

Common equity is allocated to the strategic business units (SBUs) based on the estimated amount of regulatory capital required to support their businesses (as determined for the consolidated bank pursuant to Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institution’s (OSFI’s) regulatory capital requirements and internal targets). Unallocated common equity is reported in Corporate and Other. Allocating capital on this basis provides a consistent framework to evaluate the returns of each SBU commensurate with the risk assumed. As part of the adoption of the Basel III reforms, a revised approach for allocating operational risk RWA to each of the SBUs was introduced effective April 30, 2023. The new allocations are driven by the contributions of each SBU to the total 3 years of revenue and total 10 years of operational losses. This change in methodology impacted allocated common equity effective the third quarter of 2023. For additional information, see the “Risks arising from business activities” section.

Segmented return on equity

We use return on equity on a segmented basis as one of the measures for performance evaluation and resource allocation decisions. While return on equity for total CIBC provides a measure of return on common equity, return on equity on a segmented basis provides a similar metric based on allocated common equity to our SBUs. As a result, segmented return on equity is a non-GAAP ratio. Segmented return on equity is calculated as net income attributable to common shareholders for each SBU expressed as a percentage of average allocated common equity, which is the average of monthly allocated common equity during the period.

Subordinated indebtedness increased by $0.2 billion or 3% due to the issuance of subordinated indebtedness during the first and second quarters, partially offset by the redemption of subordinated indebtedness in the second quarter. For further details see the “Capital management” section.

Equity

As at July 31, 2023, equity increased by $1.0 billion or 2% from October 31, 2022, primarily due to a net increase in retained earnings from net income that exceeded dividends and distributions and the issuance of common shares primarily related to our shareholder investment plan, partially offset by a net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income primarily resulting from a net foreign currency translation loss related to our net investment in foreign operations and a net loss on cash flow hedges.

Capital management

Our overall capital management objective is to maintain a strong and efficient capital base. For additional details on capital management, see pages 35 to 46 of our 2022 Annual Report.

Regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements

Our regulatory capital requirements are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI, which are based upon the capital standards developed by the BCBS.

Regulatory capital consists of CET1, Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. Qualifying regulatory capital instruments must be capable of absorbing loss at the point of non-viability of the financial institution.

The tiers of regulatory capital indicate increasing quality/permanence and the ability to absorb losses. The major components of our regulatory capital are summarized as follows:

(1)	Excluding AOCI relating to cash flow hedges and changes to fair value option (FVO) liabilities attributable to changes in own credit risk.

OSFI requires all institutions to achieve target capital ratios which include buffers. Targets may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion. CIBC has been designated by OSFI as a domestic systemically important bank (D-SIB) in Canada. D-SIBs are subject to a CET1 surcharge equal to 1.0% of RWA. In addition, OSFI expects D-SIBs to hold a Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) requirement intended to address Pillar 2 risks that are not adequately captured in the Pillar 1 capital requirements. The DSB is currently set at 3.0%, which was increased from 2.5% effective February 1, 2023, but can range from 0% to 4.0% of RWA (see the “Continuous enhancement to regulatory capital and TLAC requirements” section for additional details). Additionally, banks need to hold an incremental countercyclical capital buffer equal to their weighted-average buffer requirement in Canada and across certain other jurisdictions where they have private sector credit exposures.

In addition, the Basel III capital standards include a non-risk-based capital metric, the leverage ratio, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. The leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by the leverage ratio exposure. The leverage ratio exposure is defined under the standards as the sum of:

(i)	On-balance sheet assets less Tier 1 capital regulatory adjustments;
(ii)	Derivative exposures;
---	---
(iii)	Securities financing transaction exposures; and
---	---
(iv)	Off-balance sheet exposures (such as commitments, direct credit substitutes, letters of credit, and securitization exposures).
---	---

Under OSFI’s TLAC guideline, D-SIBs are required to maintain a supervisory target TLAC ratio (which builds on the risk-based capital ratios) and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio (which builds on the leverage ratio). TLAC is defined as the aggregate of total capital and other TLAC instruments primarily comprised of bail-in eligible instruments with a residual maturity greater than 365 days. TLAC is required to ensure that a non-viable D-SIB has sufficient loss absorbing capacity to support its recapitalization. This would, in turn, facilitate an orderly resolution of the D-SIB while minimizing adverse impacts on the financial sector stability and taxpayers.

Our capital and TLAC positions remain above OSFI regulatory requirements. Our capital, leverage and TLAC ratios are presented in the table below:

$ millions, as at	2023<br>Jul. 31			2022<br>Oct. 31
CET1 capital	$	38,731		$	37,005

(1)	The 2022 results included the impact of the ECL transitional arrangement announced by OSFI on March 27, 2020, which results in a portion of ECL allowances that would otherwise be included in Tier 2 capital qualifying for inclusion in CET1 capital subject to certain scalars and limitations. The transitional arrangement was no longer applicable, beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The July 31, 2023 results reflect the impacts from the implementation of Basel III reforms that became effective as of February 1, 2023 (see the “Continuous enhancement to regulatory capital and TLAC requirements” section).
---	---
(2)	The temporary exclusion of Central bank reserves from the leverage ratio exposure measure in response to the onset of the <br>COVID-19<br> pandemic was no longer applicable beginning in the second quarter of 2023.
---	---

CET1 ratio

The CET1 ratio at July 31, 2023 increased 0.5% from October 31, 2022, driven by the impact of an increase in CET 1 capital, partially offset by an increase in RWA.

The increase in CET1 capital was mainly due to internal capital generation (net income less dividends and distributions), the increase in common shares primarily related to our shareholder investment plan, and the increase in AOCI related to debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation.

The increase in RWA was due to an increase in operational risk RWA, partially offset by a decrease in credit risk and market risk RWA. The increase in operational risk RWA was mainly from the treatment of legal provisions under the revised operational risk framework pursuant to the Basel III reforms implemented in the second quarter of 2023. There was a net decrease in credit risk RWA from the implementation of the Basel III reforms, the benefit of a risk transfer transaction, and the net impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by increases in asset size. The decrease in market risk RWA was largely the result of a decrease in risk levels and model updates.

Tier 1 capital ratio

The Tier 1 capital ratio at July 31, 2023 increased 0.4% from October 31, 2022, primarily due to the factors affecting the CET1 ratio noted above.

Total capital ratio

The Total capital ratio at July 31, 2023 increased 0.6% from October 31, 2022, primarily due to the factors affecting the Tier 1 capital ratio noted above, and a net increase in NVCC subordinated debentures and eligible allowances included in Tier 2 capital. See the “Capital initiatives” section for further details.

Table of Contents

Leverage ratio

The leverage ratio at July 31, 2023 decreased 0.2% from October 31, 2022, as the impact of an increase in Tier 1 capital was more than offset by the impact of an increase in leverage ratio exposure. The increase in leverage ratio exposure was primarily driven by the discontinuation of the temporary exclusion of Central bank reserves from the on-balance sheet exposure measure.

TLAC ratio and TLAC leverage ratio

The TLAC ratio at July 31, 2023 increased 0.1% from October 31, 2022, driven by the impact of an increase in TLAC, partially offset by an increase in RWA. The increase in TLAC was primarily due to issuances of bail-in eligible liabilities.

The TLAC leverage ratio at July 31, 2023 decreased 0.7% from October 31, 2022, primarily due to the factors affecting the leverage ratio exposure as noted above, partially offset by an increase in TLAC.

Continuous enhancement to regulatory capital and TLAC requirements

The BCBS and OSFI have published a number of proposals for changes to the existing regulatory capital requirements to strengthen the regulation, supervision, and practices of banks, with the overall objective of enhancing financial stability (see page 39 of our 2022 Annual Report). The discussion below provides a summary of Basel III reforms and revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements and BCBS and OSFI publications that have been issued since our 2022 Annual Report.

Basel III reforms and revised Pillar 3 disclosure requirements

On January 31, 2022, OSFI released final capital, leverage, liquidity and disclosure guidelines that incorporate the final Basel III reforms, as well as certain updates to the treatment of credit valuation adjustments (CVA), market risk hedges of other valuation adjustments of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and management of operational risk. Primary changes include:

•	Revisions to both the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach and standardized approach to credit risk;
•	Revised operational risk framework based on income and historical operational losses;
---	---
•	Revised market risk and CVA frameworks;
---	---
•	Updated CET1 capital deductions for certain assets;
---	---
•	An updated capital output floor based on the revised standardized approach noted above, with the <br>phase-in<br> of the floor factor over three years commencing in the second quarter of 2023;
---	---
•	Modification to the leverage ratio framework, including a buffer requirement for <br>D-SIBs;<br> and
---	---
•	Enhancements to the LAR Guideline, including changes to net cumulative cash flow (NCCF) requirements.
---	---

These changes were implemented in the second quarter of 2023, with the exceptions of revisions to the CVA and market risk frameworks, which will be implemented in the first quarter of 2024. In addition, related revisions to existing Pillar 3 disclosure requirements were implemented in the second quarter of 2023, and new Pillar 3 disclosures will be implemented in the fourth quarter of 2023 for D-SIBs. The impact to the CET1 ratio from the Basel III reforms are noted above in the “Regulatory capital, leverage and TLAC ratios” section.

On November 11, 2021, the BCBS published “Revisions to market risk disclosure requirements”, which included a number of adjustments to reflect the revised market risk framework introduced in January 2019. OSFI requires implementation of the 2019 market risk framework in the first quarter of 2024.

Domestic Stability Buffer

On December 8, 2022, OSFI increased the upper limit of the DSB’s range from 2.5% to 4.0% of total RWA in response to existing market conditions and elevated economic uncertainties. The DSB was 3.0% as of July 31, 2023, which was increased from 2.5% effective February 1, 2023. On June 20, 2023, OSFI further announced an increase to the DSB from 3.0% to 3.5%, effective November 1, 2023. As a result, OSFI’s target capital ratios, including all buffers, for CET1, Tier 1 and Total capital will increase to 11.5%, 13.0% and 15.0% respectively, effective November 1, 2023.

We continue to monitor and prepare for developments impacting regulatory capital and TLAC requirements and disclosures.

Share split

In February 2022, CIBC’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one share split (Share Split) of CIBC’s issued and outstanding common shares to be effected through an amendment to CIBC’s by-laws. On April 7, 2022, CIBC shareholders approved the Share Split. Each shareholder of record at the close of business on May 6, 2022 (Record Date) received one additional share on May 13, 2022 (Payment Date) for every one share held on the Record Date. All common share numbers and per common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Share Split as if it was retroactively applied to all periods presented.

Capital initiatives

The following were the main capital initiatives undertaken in 2023:

Normal course issuer bid

Our normal course issuer bid expired on December 12, 2022. Under this bid, we purchased and cancelled 1,800,000 common shares at an average price of $74.43 for a total amount of $134 million during the first quarter of 2022.

Employee share purchase plan

Pursuant to the employee share purchase plan, we issued 805,620 common shares for consideration of $46 million for the current quarter and 2,254,186 common shares for consideration of $132 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

Shareholder investment plan

Pursuant to the shareholder investment plan, we issued 5,197,202 common shares for consideration of $294 million for the current quarter and 15,281,015 common shares for consideration of $862 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023.

Dividends

On May 24, 2023, the CIBC Board of Directors approved an increase in our quarterly common share dividend from $0.85 per share to $0.87 per share for the quarter ending July 31, 2023.

Subordinated indebtedness

On January 20, 2023, we issued $1.0 billion principal amount of 5.33% Debentures due January 20, 2033. The Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.33% per annum (paid semi-annually) until January 20, 2028, and at Daily Compounded Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) plus 2.37% per annum (paid quarterly) thereafter until maturity on January 20, 2033. The debenture qualifies as Tier 2 capital.

On April 4, 2023, we redeemed $1.5 billion principal amount of 3.45% Debentures due April 4, 2028. In accordance with their terms, the Debentures were redeemed at 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

On April 20, 2023, we issued $750 million principal amount of 5.35% Debentures due April 20, 2033. The Debentures bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.35% per annum (paid semi-annually) until April 20, 2028, and at Daily Compounded CORRA plus 2.23% per annum (paid quarterly) thereafter until maturity on April 20, 2033. The debenture qualifies as Tier 2 capital.

Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 47 (NVCC)

Holders of the Non-cumulative Rate Reset Class A Preferred Shares Series 47 (NVCC) (Series 47 shares) had the option to convert their shares into Non-cumulative Floating Rate Class A Preferred Shares Series 48 (NVCC) (Series 48 shares) on a one-for-one basis on January 31, 2023. As the conditions for conversion were not met, no Series 48 shares were issued, and all of the Series 47 shares remain outstanding. The dividend on the Series 47 shares was reset to 5.878%, payable quarterly as and when declared by the Board, effective for the five-year period commencing January 31, 2023. See the “Convertible instruments” section below and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report for further details.

Table of Contents

The occurrence of a “Trigger Event” would result in conversion of all of the outstanding NVCC instruments described above, which would represent a dilution impact of 86% based on the number of CIBC common shares outstanding as at July 31, 2023. As described in the CAR Guideline, a Trigger Event occurs when OSFI determines the bank is or is about to become non-viable and, if after conversion of all contingent instruments and consideration of any other relevant factors or circumstances, it is reasonably likely that its viability will be restored or maintained; or if the bank has accepted or agreed to accept a capital injection or equivalent support from a federal or provincial government, without which OSFI would have determined the bank to be non-viable.

In addition to the potential dilution impacts related to the NVCC instruments discussed above, as at July 31, 2023, $54.4 billion (October 31, 2022: $55.1 billion) of our outstanding liabilities were subject to conversion under the bail-in regime. Under the bail-in regime, there is no fixed and pre-determined contractual conversion ratio for the conversion of the specified eligible shares and liabilities of CIBC that are subject to a bail-in conversion into common shares, nor are there specific requirements regarding whether liabilities subject to a bail-in conversion are converted into common shares of CIBC or any of its affiliates. Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) determines the timing of the bail-in conversion, the portion of the specified eligible shares and liabilities to be converted and the terms and conditions of the conversion, subject to parameters set out in the bail-in regime. See the “Regulatory capital and total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirements” section for further details.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of our business. During the second quarter, we entered into a new arrangement involving a structured entity (SE) to transfer a portion of our credit risk exposure on certain corporate loans to third-party note holders of the SE. We do not consolidate the SE as our remaining exposure to variable returns is substantially less than that of the note holders of the SE. Further details of our off-balance sheet arrangements are also provided on pages 45–46 of our 2022 Annual Report and also in Note 6 and Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report.

Management of risk

Our approach to management of risk has not changed significantly from that described on pages 47 to 86 of our 2022 Annual Report.

Risk overview

CIBC faces a wide variety of risks across all of its areas of business. Identifying and understanding risks and their impact allows CIBC to frame its risk appetite and risk management practices. Defining acceptable levels of risk, and establishing sound principles, policies and practices for managing risks, is fundamental to achieving consistent and sustainable long-term performance, while remaining within our risk appetite.

Our risk appetite defines tolerance levels for various risks. This is the foundation for our risk management culture and our risk management framework.

Our risk management framework includes:

•	CIBC, SBU, functional group-level and regional risk appetite statements;
•	Risk frameworks, policies, procedures and limits to align activities with our risk appetite;
---	---
•	Regular risk reports to identify and communicate risk levels;
---	---
•	An independent control framework to identify and test the design and operating effectiveness of our key controls;
---	---
•	Stress testing to consider the potential impact of changes in the business environment on capital, liquidity and earnings;
---	---
•	Proactive consideration of risk mitigation options in order to optimize results; and
---	---
•	Oversight through our risk-focused committees and governance structure.
---	---

Managing risk is a shared responsibility at CIBC. Business units and risk management professionals work in collaboration to ensure that business strategies and activities are consistent with our risk appetite. CIBC’s approach to enterprise-wide risk management aligns with the three lines of defence model:

(i)	As the first line of defence, CIBC’s Management, in SBUs and functional groups own the risks and are accountable and responsible for identifying and assessing risks inherent in its activities in accordance with the CIBC risk appetite. In addition, Management establishes and maintains controls to mitigate such risks. Management may include governance groups within the business to facilitate the Control Framework and other risk-related processes. A Governance Group refers to a group within Business Unit Management (first line of defence) whose focus is to manage governance, risk and control activities on behalf of that Business Unit Management. A Governance Group is considered first line of defence, in conjunction with Business Unit Management. Control Groups are groups with enterprise-wide accountability for specific risk types and are also considered first line of defence. They provide subject matter expertise to Management and/or implement/maintain enterprise-wide control programs and activities for their domain area (for example Information Security). While Control Groups collaborate with Management in identifying and managing risk, they also challenge risk decisions and risk mitigation strategies.
(ii)	The second line of defence is independent from the first line of defence and provides an enterprise-wide view of specific risk types, guidance and effective challenge to risk and control activities. Risk Management is the primary second line of defence. Risk Management may leverage subject matter expertise of other groups (e.g., third parties or Control Groups) to inform their independent assessments, as appropriate.
---	---
(iii)	As the third line of defence, Internal Audit is responsible for providing reasonable assurance to senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board on the effectiveness of CIBC’s governance practices, risk management processes, and Internal Control as a part of its risk-based audit plan and in accordance with its mandate as described in the Internal Audit Charter.
---	---

A strong risk culture and communication between the three lines of defence are important characteristics of effective risk management.

We continuously monitor our risk profile against our defined risk appetite and related limits, taking action as needed to maintain an appropriate balance of risk and return. Monitoring our risk profile includes forward-looking analysis of sensitivity to local and global market factors, economic conditions, and geopolitical and regulatory environments that influence our overall risk profile.

Regular and transparent risk reporting and discussion at senior management committees facilitates communication of risks and discussion of risk management strategies across the organization.

Top and emerging risks

We monitor and review top and emerging risks that may affect our future results, and take action to mitigate potential risks. We perform in-depth analyses, which may include stress testing our exposures relative to the risks, and we provide updates and related developments to the Board on a regular basis. Top and emerging risks are those that we consider to have potential negative implications that are material for CIBC. See pages 55 to 58 of our 2022 Annual Report for details regarding the following top and emerging risks:

•	Pandemic risk
•	Technology, information and cyber security risk
---	---
•	Disintermediation risk
---	---
•	Third-party risk
---	---
•	U.S. banking regulation
---	---
•	Corporate transactions
---	---

The remainder of this section describes top and emerging risks that have been updated for developments that have occurred since the issuance of our 2022 Annual Report, as well as regulatory and accounting developments that are material for CIBC.

High inflation continued to drive tightening in monetary policies by major central banks in the third quarter of 2023, posing risks to the economic growth ahead. The rapid increase in interest rates is putting pressure on credit risks globally. U.S. regional bank failures are putting pressure on liquidity and funding conditions for the financial industry, while tightening credit for U.S. small and medium sized businesses. Commercial office real estate, particularly in the United States, is facing challenges due to post COVID-19 hybrid work arrangements and high interest rates, negatively impacting office asset valuations. Further details on the U.S. office real estate exposure are provided in the “Credit risk – U.S. office real estate exposure” section. The impact of higher interest rates on Canadian mortgages is discussed under “Canadian consumer debt and the housing market” below and in the “Credit risk – Real estate secured personal lending” section. We are closely monitoring the macroeconomic environment and assessing its potential adverse impact on our clients, counterparties and businesses. Further details on the macroeconomic environment are provided in the “Financial performance overview – Economic outlook” section.

Canadian consumer debt and the housing market

OSFI’s Guideline B-20 was introduced in 2012, with a subsequent update effective January 2018, to provide its expectations for strong residential mortgage underwriting for federally regulated lenders. The revised guideline had its intended effect as debt-to-income ratios flattened in 2018–2019. Following the initial impact of COVID-19, the housing market rebounded strongly in 2021–2022, with rapid price growth, increasing the risk that new borrowers may be unable to repay loan obligations due to higher mortgage indebtedness levels. In recent quarters, higher interest rates caused some correction to housing prices and put pressure on debt serviceability. Given the rapid increase in housing price levels and re-ignited concerns around household indebtedness in 2021–2022, OSFI took proactive actions in assessing lenders’ practices under the existing market conditions. In June 2021, we started to qualify uninsured and insured mortgages at the higher of the mortgage contract rate plus 2%, or 5.25% and, in June 2022, OSFI released a new advisory and clarifications on the treatment of innovative real estate secured lending products under Guideline B-20. OSFI’s public consultation for B-20 to propose complementary debt serviceability measures to control high consumer indebtedness (i.e., loan-to-income and debt-to-income restrictions) closed in April 2023. On July 11, 2023, OSFI proposed changes to the Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) and Mortgage Insurer Capital Adequacy Test (MICAT) guidelines, which will result in an increase in RWA for negative-amortization mortgages with LTV over 65% effective November 1, 2023. If the proposal is finalized without significant changes, we are prepared for implementation. CIBC continues to monitor the impact of macroeconomic factors to our clients through stress tests and scenario/sensitivity analyses. Additionally, CIBC is also closely monitoring our mortgage clients who have or will soon renew for signs of financial stress in the current high rate environment. See the “Real estate secured personal lending” section for the guidance issued by OSFI in June 2022 on the Clarification on the Treatment of Innovative Real Estate Secured Lending Products under Guideline B-20.

Geopolitical risk

The level of geopolitical risk escalates at certain points in time. While the specific impact on the global economy and on global credit and capital markets would depend on the nature of the event, in general, any major event could result in instability and volatility, leading to widening spreads, declining equity valuations, flight to safe-haven currencies and increased purchases of gold. In the short run, market disruption could hurt the net income of our trading and non-trading market risk positions. Geopolitical risk could reduce economic growth, and in combination with the potential impacts on commodity prices and the recent rise of protectionism, could have serious negative implications for general economic and banking activities. Current areas of concern include:

•	The war in Ukraine;
•	Ongoing U.S., Canada and China relations and trade issues, with potential negative impacts on supply chains;
---	---
•	Rising civil unrest and activism globally;
---	---
•	Relations between the U.S. and Iran; and
---	---
•	Tensions in the Middle East.
---	---

While it is impossible to predict where new geopolitical disruption will occur, we do pay particular attention to markets and regions with existing or recent historical instability to assess the impact of these environments on the markets and businesses in which we operate.

Climate risk

The physical effects of climate change along with regulations designed to mitigate its negative impacts will have a measurable impact on communities and the economy. The physical risks of climate change resulting from severe weather events and systemic issues such as rising sea levels can impact CIBC’s profitability through disruptions in our own operations and damage to critical infrastructure. Transition risks, which arise as society adjusts towards a low-carbon future, can impact the financial health of our clients as changes in policy and technology aimed at limiting global warming can increase their operating costs and reduce profitability, while translating into potentially higher credit losses for the bank. We are also exposed to reputational risks due to changing stakeholder expectations related to action or inaction in addressing climate-related risks. As the world transitions to a low-carbon economy, we are committed to understanding and responsibly managing the relevant impacts of climate change on our operations and our business activities. In support of this commitment, we announced our ambition to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions associated with operational and financing activities by 2050, including interim targets to reduce the carbon intensity of our financed emissions in the oil and gas and power generation sectors by 2030. This builds on our environmental leadership and enhances our ability to continue creating long-term shareholder value as the landscape of climate-related risks and opportunities evolves.

Setting net-zero targets across a complex set of financing activities is an emerging practice and our methodology is informed by international standards and current industry best practices. With our first targets in place, we are now working to accelerate our climate aspirations by embedding net-zero considerations through our business practices and financing activities.

There is an increasing demand for disclosure around climate-related risk identification and mitigation. We support the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure’s (TCFD’s) recommendations for globally consistent and comparable climate disclosure and published our third standalone report in March 2023, which presents information about CIBC’s efforts towards aligning our climate disclosure with the TCFD framework.

CIBC THIRD QUARTER 2023	31

Table of Contents

In the past year, a number of regulators and standard-setting organizations announced intentions of preparing disclosure frameworks related to climate change risks. Key among them is the IFRS Foundation’s establishment of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) to develop global sustainability disclosure standards for the financial markets and to increase connectivity with accounting standards. In June 2023, the ISSB issued its inaugural standards IFRS S1 “General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information” (IFRS S1) and IFRS S2 “Climate-related Disclosures” (IFRS S2). Both standards are designed to enable companies to communicate sustainability-related risks and opportunities to investors over the short, medium and long term. IFRS S1 addresses the content and presentation requirement for sustainability disclosures more broadly, whereas IFRS S2 focuses specifically on climate-related disclosure. Based on the transition rules set out in the standards, they will apply to CIBC for our year ended October 31, 2025 reporting period to the extent they become effective in Canada. In addition, regulators such as the SEC, OSFI and the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) have released proposed requirements for climate risk disclosures including defining guidance and expectations related to climate risk management practices and metrics to measure this risk. In March 2023, OSFI released Guideline B-15 on Climate Risk Management, which will be initially effective for us for our year ended October 31, 2025 reporting period, with the disclosures required to be made publicly available within 180 days of the fiscal year-end. OSFI’s principles-based expectations set out in this guideline focus on understanding and mitigating the impact of climate-related risks to business models and strategy, governance and risk management practices used to manage climate-related risks, and remaining financially and operationally resilient through severe climate scenarios.

Potential divergence among the regulators in disclosure expectations, coupled with the pace at which the regulatory landscape changes, pose operational risks to us. We continue to monitor these developments and evolve our approach to support future regulatory requirements.

See the “Environmental and social risk” section in our 2022 Annual Report for additional information.

Commodity prices

Following several months of declining prices, commodities started to show signs of strength in the third quarter of 2023. Crude oil prices increased in July, reaching highs last seen in mid-April, driven by tightening supplies and an improving macroeconomic backdrop. Natural gas prices, although still well off the highs observed last year, were slightly higher driven by warm weather and lower-than-expected storage builds. The war in Ukraine continues to impact commodity prices, with grain prices exhibiting elevated volatility after Russia decided to withdraw from the Ukraine grain-export deal. CIBC continues to monitor longer-term developments as geopolitical tensions and desire for energy independence face off against decarbonization ambitions in shaping energy policies and trade flows.

Anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and sanctions

Money laundering, terrorist financing activities and other related crimes pose a threat to the stability and integrity of a country’s financial sector and its broader economy. In recognition of this threat, the international community has made the fight against these illegal activities a priority. We are committed to adhering to all regulatory requirements pertaining to anti-money laundering (AML), anti-terrorist financing (ATF) and sanctions in the jurisdictions where we operate and implementing best practices to minimize the impact of such activities. In Canada, to improve the effectiveness of the AML/ATF regime, amendments to the regulations under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act continue to be published, (with some provisions coming into force by 2024). In accordance with these amendments, we have implemented procedures, processes and controls with respect to client due diligence, record keeping and reporting as well as mandatory annual AML/ATF and sanctions training for all employees to ensure that relevant regulatory obligations are met in each jurisdiction where we operate. Since March 2022, Canada, the U.S., U.K. and the European Union (EU) continue to expand and adjust economic sanctions on Russia over its war in Ukraine, which continue to develop. While overall exposure is deemed limited, we continue to monitor and enhance controls, as required to respond to this evolving situation.

Interbank Offered Rate transition

Interest rate benchmarks including the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other similar European benchmarks have been reformed and replaced by alternative benchmark rates (alternative rates) that meet regulatory definitions. In addition to these, USD LIBOR ceased as at June 30, 2023. In December 2021, the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate working group (CARR) recommended that the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) should cease calculation and publication after June 2024 with CORRA suggested as the replacement benchmark rate. On May 16, 2022, the CDOR administrator announced the cessation of CDOR consistent with the recommendations outlined by CARR. Additionally, on January 11, 2023, CARR announced the development of a Term CORRA rate. See the “Other regulatory developments” section for further details.

Tax reform

On August 4, 2023, the Department of Finance (Canada) issued draft legislation to implement the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s Pillar Two plan. See the “Financial results review – Taxes” section for further details.

Regulatory developments

See the “Capital management”, “Credit risk” and “Accounting and control matters” sections for additional information on regulatory developments.

Risks arising from business activities

The chart below shows our business activities and related risk measures based upon regulatory RWA and allocated common equity as at July 31, 2023:

(1)	Average balances are calculated as a weighted average of daily closing balances.
(2)	As part of the adoption of the Basel III reforms, a revised approach for allocating operational risk RWA to each of the SBUs was introduced effective April 30, 2023. The new allocations are driven by the contributions of each SBU to the total 3 years of revenue and total 10 years of operational losses. This change in methodology impacted allocated common equity effective the third quarter of 2023.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss due to a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its obligations in accordance with contractual terms.

Credit risk arises out of the lending businesses in each of our SBUs and in International banking, which is included in Corporate and Other. Other sources of credit risk consist of our trading activities, which include our OTC derivatives, debt securities, and our repo-style transaction activity. In addition to losses on the default of a borrower or counterparty, unrealized gains or losses may occur due to changes in the credit spread of the counterparty, which could impact the carrying or fair value of our assets.

Exposure to credit risk

The following table provides our exposure to credit risk by portfolios based upon how we manage the business and the associated risks. Gross credit exposure amounts presented in the table below represent our estimate of exposure at default (EAD), which is net of derivative master netting agreements and CVA but is before allowance for credit losses or credit risk mitigation. Gross credit exposure amounts relating to our business and government portfolios are reduced for collateral held for repo-style transactions, which reflects the EAD value of such collateral.

Forbearance techniques

We employ forbearance techniques to manage client relationships and to minimize credit losses due to default, foreclosure or repossession. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to modify a loan for reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, reducing the potential of default. Total debt restructurings are subject to our normal quarterly impairment review which considers, amongst other factors, covenants and/or payment delinquencies. Loan loss provisions are adjusted as appropriate.

In retail lending, forbearance techniques include interest capitalization, amortization amendments and debt consolidations. We have a set of eligibility criteria that allow our Client Account Management team to determine suitable remediation strategies and propose products based on each borrower’s situation.

The solutions available to corporate and commercial clients vary based on the individual nature of the client’s situation and are undertaken selectively where it has been determined that the client has or is likely to have repayment difficulties servicing its obligations. Covenants often reveal changes in the client’s financial situation before there is a change in payment behaviour and typically allow for a right to reprice or accelerate payments. Solutions may be temporary in nature or may involve other special management options.

Real estate secured personal lending

Real estate secured personal lending comprises residential mortgages, and personal loans and lines secured by residential property. This portfolio is lower risk compared to other retail portfolios, as we have a first charge on the majority of the properties and a second lien on only a small portion of the portfolio. We use the same lending criteria in the adjudication of both first lien and second lien loans.

The following disclosures are required by OSFI pursuant to the Guideline B-20 “Residential Mortgage Underwriting Practices and Procedures” (Guideline B-20).

The following table provides details on our residential mortgage and home equity line of credit (HELOC) portfolios:

(1)	Includes variable rate mortgages of $65.6 billion (October 31, 2022: $67.5 billion), of which $49.8 billion (October 31, 2022: $38.5 billion) relates to mortgages in which all of the fixed contractual payments are currently being applied to interest based on the rates in effect at July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively, and the terms of the mortgages, with the portion of the contractual interest requirement not met by the payments being added to the principal. Since the amortization profile reflected in this table is based on the current amount of existing contractual payments, it does not reflect that the contractual payment amount is required to be increased at the time of renewal by the amount necessary to reduce the amortization period down to the period in effect at the time the mortgage was originally provided.
---	---

The extended amortization profile is driven by the prime rate increases that commenced earlier in 2022, impacting clients with a variable rate mortgage. The increase in interest rates had no impact on the remaining amortization period for fixed rate mortgages which in the current interest rate environment are assumed to be renewed at the same or a shorter amortization period.

We have two types of condominium exposures in Canada: mortgages and developer loans. Both are primarily concentrated in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. As at July 31, 2023, our Canadian condominium mortgages were $39.9 billion (October 31, 2022: $38.7 billion) of which 19% (October 31, 2022: 20%) were insured. Our drawn developer loans were $2.2 billion (October 31, 2022: $1.7 billion) or 1.1% (October 31, 2022: 0.8%) of our business and government portfolio, and our related undrawn exposure was $6.0 billion (October 31, 2022: $5.9 billion). The condominium developer exposure is diversified across 120 projects.

We stress test our mortgage and HELOC portfolios to determine the potential impact of different economic events. Our stress tests can use variables such as unemployment rates, debt service ratios and housing price changes, to model potential outcomes for a given set of circumstances. The stress testing involves variables that could behave differently in certain situations. Our main tests use economic variables in a similar range or more conservative to historical events when Canada experienced economic downturns. Our results show that in an economic downturn, our capital position should be sufficient to absorb mortgage and HELOC losses.

On December 17, 2021, OSFI and the Department of Finance confirmed that the minimum qualifying rate for uninsured and insured mortgages will remain the higher of: (i) the mortgage contract rate plus 2%; or (ii) 5.25% as a minimum floor.

OSFI Clarification on the Treatment of Innovative Real Estate Secured Lending Products under Guideline B-20

On June 28, 2022, OSFI released a new Advisory (Clarification on the Treatment of Innovative Real Estate Secured Lending Products under Guideline B-20), which complements existing expectations under Guideline B-20. The Advisory articulates OSFI’s expectations regarding underwriting practices and procedures for reverse residential mortgages, residential mortgages with shared equity features and Combined Loan Plans (CLPs), which are applicable to all federally regulated financial institutions (FRFIs) that are engaged in residential mortgage underwriting and/or the acquisition of residential mortgage loan assets in Canada. The changes will affect CIBC’s Home Power Plan (HPP) product, which is considered a CLP, with LTVs above 65% when combined with related mortgage products. OSFI expects that the portion of an HPP balance above the 65% LTV limit must be amortizing and non-readvanceable. For previously originated HPPs, principal payments on both the mortgage and HPP are required to be matched by a reduction in the aggregate authorized limit until it reduces to a 65% LTV. OSFI expects this change to take place for existing borrowers upon the first renewal date of their HPP mortgage after October 2023. We expect to discontinue the origination of HPPs that do not meet these requirements by October 2023.

Trading credit exposure

We have trading credit exposure (also called counterparty credit exposure) that arises from our OTC derivatives and our repo-style transactions. The nature of our derivatives exposure and how it is mitigated is described in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report. Our repo-style transactions consist of our securities bought or sold under repurchase agreements, and our securities borrowing and lending activity.

The following table shows the rating profile of OTC derivative MTM receivables:

Gross impaired loans

As at July 31, 2023, gross impaired loans were $2,616 million, up $915 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to increases in the real estate and construction, the retail and wholesale, and the financial institutions sectors, as well as Canadian residential mortgages and the personal lending portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in the capital goods manufacturing sector.

Gross impaired loans were up $288 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to increases in the real estate and construction, and the financial institutions sectors, partially offset by decreases in the capital goods manufacturing sector and in CIBC FirstCaribbean.

46% of gross impaired loans related to Canada, of which the residential mortgages and personal lending portfolios, as well as the retail and wholesale, and the education, health and social services sectors accounted for the majority.

41% of gross impaired loans related to the U.S., of which the real estate and construction, the financial institutions, the retail and wholesale, the business services and the hardware and software sectors accounted for the majority.

The remaining gross impaired loans related to CIBC FirstCaribbean, of which the residential mortgages and personal lending portfolios, as well as the business services, and the real estate and construction sectors accounted for the majority.

Allowance for credit losses – impaired loans

Allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was $1,000 million, up $357 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to increases in the real estate and construction, the retail and wholesale, and the education, health and social services sectors, as well as the Canadian personal lending and mortgage portfolios.

Allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was up $123 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to increases in the real estate and construction, and the retail and wholesale sectors, as well as the Canadian residential mortgage and personal lending portfolios.

Trading activities

We hold positions in traded financial contracts to meet client investment and risk management needs. Trading revenue (net interest income and non-interest income) is generated from these transactions. Trading instruments are recorded at fair value and include debt and equity securities, as well as interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, commodity, and credit derivative products.

Value-at-Risk

Our Value-at-Risk (VaR) methodology is a statistical technique that measures the potential overnight loss at a 99% confidence level. We use a full revaluation historical simulation methodology to compute VaR, stressed VaR and other risk measures.

The following table shows VaR, stressed VaR and incremental risk charge (IRC) for our trading activities based on risk type under an internal models approach.

n/m	Not meaningful. It is not meaningful to compute a diversification effect because the high and low may occur on different days for different risk types.
---	---

Average total VaR for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was down $0.1 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by decreases in equity and foreign exchange risks, offset by a decrease in diversification benefit and an increase in interest rate risk.

Average stressed total VaR for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was down $1.8 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in diversification benefit. For all quarters shown, our stressed VaR window has been the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis period. This historical period exhibited not only increased volatility in interest rates but also increased volatility in equity prices, combined with a reduction in the level of interest rates, and an increase in credit spreads.

Average IRC for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was down $1.4 million from the prior quarter, due to a decrease in trading book bond inventory within our fixed income portfolio.

Trading revenue (TEB) comprises both trading net interest income and non-interest income and excludes underwriting fees and commissions. Trading revenue (TEB) in the chart below excludes certain exited portfolios.

During the quarter, trading revenue (TEB) was positive for 99% of the days. Average daily trading revenue (TEB) was $7.9 million during the quarter. Average daily trading revenue (TEB) is calculated as the total trading revenue (TEB) divided by the number of business days in the period.

Trading revenue (TEB) (1) versus VaR (2)

The trading revenue (TEB) versus VaR graph below shows the current quarter and the three previous quarters’ daily trading revenue (TEB) against the close of business day VaR measures.

(1)	Excludes certain <br>month-end<br> transfer pricing and other miscellaneous adjustments.
(2)	Fair value adjustments are excluded from trading activities for regulatory capital purposes, with related derivative hedges to these fair value adjustments also excluded.

Non-trading activities

Structural interest rate risk (SIRR)

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

SIRR results from differences in the maturities or repricing dates of assets and liabilities, both on- and off-balance sheet, as well as from embedded optionality in retail products, and other product features that could affect the expected timing of cash flows, such as options to pre-pay loans or redeem term deposits prior to contractual maturity. A number of assumptions affecting cash flows, product repricing and the administration of rates underlie the models used to measure SIRR. The key assumptions pertain to the expected funding profile of mortgage rate commitments, fixed rate loan prepayment behaviour, term deposit redemption behaviour, the treatment of non-maturity deposits and equity. All assumptions are derived empirically based on historical client behaviour, balance sheet composition and product pricing with the consideration of possible forward-looking changes. All models and assumptions used to measure SIRR are subject to independent oversight by Risk Management. A variety of cash instruments and derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, are used to manage these risks.

The following table shows the potential before-tax impact of an immediate and sustained 100 basis point increase and 100 basis point decrease in interest rates on projected 12-month net interest income and the economic value of equity (EVE) for our structural balance sheet, assuming no subsequent hedging.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient cash or its equivalent in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet financial obligations as they come due. Common sources of liquidity risk inherent in banking services include unanticipated withdrawals of deposits, the inability to replace maturing debt, credit and liquidity commitments, and additional pledging or other collateral requirements.

Our approach to liquidity risk management supports our business strategy, aligns with our risk appetite and adheres to regulatory expectations.

Our management strategies, objectives and practices are regularly reviewed to align with changes to the liquidity environment, including regulatory, business and/or market developments. Liquidity risk remains within CIBC’s risk appetite.

Governance and management

We manage liquidity risk in a manner that enables us to withstand a liquidity stress event without an adverse impact on the viability of our operations. Actual and anticipated cash flows generated from on- and off-balance sheet exposures are routinely measured and monitored to ensure compliance with established limits. We incorporate stress testing into the management and measurement of liquidity risk. Stress test results assist with the development of our liquidity assumptions, identification of potential constraints to funding planning, and contribute to the design of our contingency funding plan.

The Global Asset Liability Committee (GALCO) governs CIBC’s liquidity risk management, ensuring the liquidity risk management methodologies, assumptions, and key metrics are regularly reviewed and consider CIBC’s requirements. The Liquidity Risk Management Committee, a subcommittee of GALCO, monitors global liquidity risk and is responsible for ensuring that CIBC’s liquidity risk profile is comprehensively measured and managed in alignment with CIBC’s strategic direction, risk appetite and regulatory requirements.

The Risk Management Committee (RMC) provides governance through bi-annual review of CIBC’s liquidity risk management policy, and recommends liquidity risk tolerance to the Board through the risk appetite statement which is reviewed annually.

Liquid assets

Available liquid assets include unencumbered cash and marketable securities from on- and off-balance sheet sources that can be used to access funding in a timely fashion. Encumbered liquid assets, composed of assets pledged as collateral and those assets that are deemed restricted due to legal, operational, or other purposes, are not considered as sources of available liquidity when measuring liquidity risk.

Encumbered and unencumbered liquid assets from on- and off-balance sheet sources are summarized as follows:

Foreign subsidiaries		56,671		50,914
	$	226,929	$	229,417

Asset haircuts and monetization depth assumptions under a liquidity stress scenario are applied to the unencumbered liquid asset values to determine estimated cash inflows from monetization. Haircuts take into consideration those margins applicable at central banks – such as the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank – historical observations, and securities characteristics including asset type, issuer, credit ratings, currency and remaining term to maturity, as well as available regulatory guidance.

Our unencumbered liquid assets as at July 31, 2023 decreased by $2.5 billion since October 31, 2022, primarily due to a reduction in cash balances, partially offset by an increase in unencumbered liquid securities. These changes are as a result of a reduction in business and government client deposits over the period.

We maintain access eligibility to the Bank of Canada’s Emergency Lending Assistance program and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window.

Restrictions on the flow of funds

Our subsidiaries are not subject to significant restrictions that would prevent transfers of funds, dividends or capital distributions. However, certain subsidiaries have different capital and liquidity requirements, established by applicable banking and securities regulators.

We monitor and manage our capital and liquidity requirements across these entities to ensure that resources are used efficiently and entities are in compliance with local regulatory and policy requirements.

Liquidity coverage ratio

The objective of the LCR is to promote short-term resilience of a bank’s liquidity risk profile, ensuring that it has adequate unencumbered high quality liquid resources to meet its liquidity needs in a 30-day acute stress scenario. Canadian banks are required by OSFI to achieve a minimum LCR value of 100%. We are in compliance with this requirement.

In accordance with the calibration methodology contained in OSFI’s LAR Guideline, we report the LCR to OSFI on a monthly basis. The ratio is calculated as the total of unencumbered high quality liquid assets (HQLA) over the total net cash outflows in the next 30 calendar days.

The LCR’s numerator consists of unencumbered HQLA, which follow an OSFI-defined set of eligibility criteria that considers fundamental and market-related characteristics, and the relative ability to operationally monetize assets on a timely basis during a period of stress. Our centrally managed liquid asset portfolio includes those liquid assets reported in the HQLA, such as central government treasury bills and bonds, central bank deposits and high-rated sovereign, agency, provincial, and corporate securities. Asset eligibility limitations inherent in the LCR metric do not necessarily reflect our internal assessment of our ability to monetize its marketable assets under stress.

The ratio’s denominator reflects net cash outflows expected in the LCR’s stress scenario over the 30-calendar-day period. Expected cash outflows represent LCR-defined withdrawal or draw-down rates applied against outstanding liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments, respectively. Significant contributors to our LCR outflows include business and financial institution deposit run-off, draws on undrawn lines of credit and unsecured debt maturities. Cash outflows are partially offset by cash inflows, which are calculated at OSFI-prescribed LCR inflow rates, and include performing loan repayments and maturing non-HQLA marketable assets.

Furthermore, CIBC reports the LCR to OSFI in multiple currencies, and thus measures the extent of potential currency mismatch under the ratio. CIBC predominantly operates in major currencies with deep and fungible foreign exchange markets.

During a period of financial stress, institutions may use their stock of HQLA, thereby falling below 100%, as maintaining the LCR at 100% under such circumstances could produce undue negative effects on the institution and other market participants.

Our average LCR as at July 31, 2023 increased to 131% from 124% in the prior quarter, due to an increase in HQLA and a decrease in total net cash outflows. The increase in total HQLA compared to the prior quarter mainly reflects an increase in term funding.

Net stable funding ratio

Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s LAR Guideline, the NSFR standard aims to promote long-term resilience of the financial sector by requiring banks to maintain a sustainable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities. Canadian D-SIBs are required to maintain a minimum NSFR value of 100% on a consolidated bank basis. CIBC is in compliance with this requirement.

In accordance with the calibration methodology contained in OSFI’s LAR Guideline, we report the NSFR to OSFI on a quarterly basis. The ratio is calculated as total available stable funding (ASF) over the total required stable funding (RSF).

The numerator consists of the portion of capital and liabilities considered reliable over a one-year time horizon. The NSFR considers longer-term sources of funding to be more stable than short-term funding and deposits from retail and commercial customers to be behaviourally more stable than wholesale funding of the same maturity. In accordance with our funding strategy, key drivers of our ASF include client deposits supplemented by secured and unsecured wholesale funding, and capital instruments.

The denominator represents the amount of stable funding required based on the OSFI-defined liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The NSFR ascribes varying degrees of RSF such that HQLA and short-term exposures are assumed to have a lower funding requirement than less liquid and longer-term exposures. Our RSF is largely driven by retail, commercial and corporate lending, investments in liquid assets, derivative exposures, and undrawn lines of credit and liquidity.

The ASF and RSF may be adjusted to zero for certain liabilities and assets that are determined to be interdependent if they meet the NSFR-defined criteria, which take into account the purpose, amount, cash flows, tenor and counterparties among other aspects to ensure the institution is acting solely as a pass-through unit for the underlying transactions. We report, where applicable, interdependent assets and liabilities arising from transactions OSFI has designated as eligible for such treatment in the LAR Guideline.

Our NSFR as at July 31, 2023 was 117% which was comparable to the prior quarter, mainly due to an increase in wholesale funding offset by an increase in secured loans and securities.

CIBC considers the impact of its business decisions on the LCR, NSFR and other liquidity risk metrics that it regularly monitors as part of a robust liquidity risk management function. Variables that can impact the metrics month-over-month include, but are not limited to, items such as wholesale funding activities and maturities, strategic balance sheet initiatives, and transactions and market conditions affecting collateral.

Reporting of the LCR and NSFR is calibrated centrally by Treasury, in conjunction with the SBUs and other functional groups.

Funding

We fund our operations with client-sourced deposits, supplemented with a wide range of wholesale funding.

Our principal approach aims to fund our consolidated balance sheet with deposits primarily raised from personal and commercial banking channels.

We maintain a foundation of relationship-based core deposits, whose stability is regularly evaluated through internally developed statistical assessments.

We routinely access a range of short-term and long-term secured and unsecured funding sources diversified by geography, depositor type, instrument, currency and maturity. We raise long-term funding from existing programs including covered bonds, asset securitizations and unsecured debt.

We continuously evaluate opportunities to diversify into new funding products and investor segments in an effort to maximize funding flexibility and minimize concentration and financing costs. We regularly monitor wholesale funding levels and concentrations to internal limits consistent with our desired liquidity risk profile.

GALCO and RMC review and approve CIBC’s funding plan, which incorporates projected asset and liability growth, funding maturities, and output from our liquidity position forecasting.

The following table provides the contractual maturity profile of our wholesale funding sources at their carrying values:

We manage liquidity risk in a manner that enables us to withstand severe liquidity stress events. Wholesale funding may present a higher risk of run-off in stress situations, and we maintain significant portfolios of unencumbered liquid assets to mitigate this risk. See the “Liquid assets” section for additional details.

Credit ratings

Our access to and cost of wholesale funding are dependent on multiple factors, among them credit ratings provided by rating agencies. Rating agencies’ opinions are based upon internal methodologies, and are subject to change based on factors including, but not limited to, financial strength, competitive position, macroeconomic backdrop and liquidity positioning.

Our credit ratings are summarized in the following table:

Additional collateral requirements for rating downgrades

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

Accounting and control matters

Critical accounting policies and estimates

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” using IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as CIBC’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended October 31, 2022.

Certain accounting policies require us to make judgments and estimates, some of which relate to matters that are uncertain. The current macroeconomic environment, including the impact of higher interest rates, inflation, events in the U.S. banking sector and geopolitical events, gives rise to heightened uncertainty as it relates to accounting estimates and assumptions and increase the need to apply judgment. In particular, changes in the judgments and estimates related to IFRS 9 can have a significant impact on the level of ECL allowance recognized and the period-over-period volatility of the provision for credit losses. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Annual Report and Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements for more information concerning the high level of judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowance.

Accounting developments

For details on future accounting policy changes, refer to Note 1 to our interim consolidated financial statements.

Other regulatory developments

Interest rate benchmark reform

Various interest rate and other indices that are deemed to be “benchmarks” (including LIBOR) are the subject of international regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. Regulators in various jurisdictions have pushed for the transition from Interbank Offered Rates (IBORs) to alternative benchmark rates (alternative rates), based upon risk-free rates determined using actual market transactions. Following the previous announcements by various regulators, the publication of LIBOR settings for all sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and euro, as well as 1-week and 2-month USD LIBOR settings was discontinued on December 31, 2021. The publication of remaining USD LIBOR settings was discontinued on June 30, 2023. Based on the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announcement in March 2023, the LIBOR administrator, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (IBA), continues the publication of the 1-month,

3-month and 6-month USD LIBOR settings on a non-representative synthetic basis after June 30, 2023 for a limited period to support an orderly wind down of certain legacy contracts.

In December 2021, CARR recommended to Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (RBSL), the CDOR administrator, to cease the calculation and publication of CDOR after June 30, 2024 and proposed a two-staged approach to the transition from CDOR to CORRA. Following public consultation, on May 16, 2022, RBSL announced that it will permanently cease the publication and calculation of all remaining tenors of CDOR after June 28, 2024. Following this announcement, OSFI published its expectations for CDOR transition which is consistent with the two-stage transition approach proposed by CARR. OSFI expects all new derivatives and securities to transition to the alternative rates by June 30, 2023, with no new CDOR exposures after that date, with limited exceptions. OSFI also expects all loan agreements referencing CDOR to be transitioned by June 28, 2024, and FRFIs to prioritize system and model updates to accommodate the use of CORRA prior to June 28, 2024. As part of its transition roadmap, CARR outlined a number of CORRA First initiatives aimed at increasing the liquidity of CORRA. As part of these initiatives, inter-dealer trading of derivatives moved from CDOR to CORRA. In January 2023, CARR announced the development of 1-month and 3-month Term CORRA benchmarks, which are expected to be launched on September 5, 2023 based on a further announcement from CARR on August 10, 2023. In addition, in July 2023, CARR announced that no new CDOR or bankers’ acceptance (BA) loans are to be originated after November 1, 2023.

The transition from current reference rates to alternative rates may adversely affect the value of, return on, or trading market for contracts linked to existing benchmarks. These developments may cause some LIBOR and other benchmarks to be discontinued. A significant number of CIBC’s derivatives, securities, and lending and deposit contracts reference various interest rate benchmarks, including contracts with maturity dates that extend beyond the cessation dates announced by the regulators.

In response to the reforms to interest rate benchmarks, CIBC established an Enterprise IBOR Transition Program (Program), to manage and coordinate all aspects of the transition. The Program is supported by a formal governance structure and dedicated working groups that include stakeholders from frontline businesses as well as functional groups such as Treasury, Technology and Operations, Risk Management, Legal, and Finance, to facilitate the transition.

Our Enterprise IBOR Transition Program continues to manage and coordinate all aspects of the transition. As a part of the program, in the third quarter of 2023 we substantially completed the transition of our USD LIBOR referenced contracts including centrally cleared derivatives, to the alternative rates in a manner that is consistent with regulatory expectations. As a result, the FCA’s announcement in March 2023 that the LIBOR administrator will continue to publish certain USD LIBOR settings on a non-representative synthetic basis after June 30, 2023 for a limited period to allow market participants to use such rates in legacy contracts will not materially affect our transition. Consistent with regulatory expectations, no new derivatives or securities referenced to CDOR were originated after June 30, 2023, with limited permitted exceptions. The Program continues to progress on its CDOR transition plan to ensure an orderly transition and alignment with regulators’ expectations. As part of the Program, we continue to engage with industry associations on ongoing developments, and continue to incorporate these into our project plan and make information available to our clients, advising them on recent developments. The Program provides regular updates to senior management, including the Executive Committee, and the Board.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Special Assessment

On May 11, 2023, the FDIC Board of Directors approved a notice of proposed rule-making, which would implement a special assessment on certain U.S. depository institutions to recover the cost associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The FDIC is proposing to impose the special assessment at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points of an institution’s uninsured deposits over a specified threshold, to be collected over eight quarterly assessment periods. The comment period for this proposal closed on July 21, 2023. Following the comment period, the FDIC expects to issue a final rule with an effective date of January 1, 2024. The special assessment would be collected beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2024 (i.e., January 1 through March 31, 2024, with an invoice payment date of June 28, 2024), and would continue to be collected for an anticipated total of eight quarterly assessment periods. Based on the proposed rule, we anticipate that our U.S. depository institution, CIBC Bank USA, will be subject to the special assessment. The impact on our financial results will depend on the issuance of the final rules by the FDIC.

Glossary

Allowance for credit losses

Under International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9, allowance for credit losses represents 12 months of expected credit losses (ECL) for instruments that have not been subject to a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, while allowance for credit losses represents lifetime ECL for instruments that have been subject to a significant increase in credit risk, including impaired instruments. ECL allowances for loans and acceptances are included in Allowance for credit losses on the consolidated balance sheet. ECL allowances for fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) debt securities are included as a component of the carrying value of the securities, which are measured at fair value. ECL allowances for other financial assets are included in the carrying value of the instrument. ECL allowances for guarantees and loan commitments are included in Other liabilities.

Allowance for credit losses are adjusted for provisions for (reversals of) credit losses and are reduced by write-offs, net of recoveries.

Amortized cost

The amount at which a financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus repayments, plus or minus any unamortized origination date premiums or discounts, plus or minus any basis adjustments resulting from a fair value hedge, and minus any reduction for impairment (directly or through the use of an allowance account). The amount of a financial asset or liability measured at initial recognition is the cost of the financial asset or liability including capitalized transaction costs and deferred fees.

Assets under administration (AUA)

Assets administered by CIBC that are beneficially owned by clients and are, therefore, not reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The services provided by CIBC are of an administrative nature, such as safekeeping of securities, client reporting and record keeping, collection of investment income, and the settlement of purchase and sale transactions. In addition, assets under management (AUM) amounts are included in the amounts reported under AUA.

Assets under management (AUM)

Assets managed by CIBC that are beneficially owned by clients and are, therefore, not reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The service provided in respect of these assets is discretionary portfolio management on behalf of the clients.

Average interest-earning assets

Average interest-earning assets include interest-bearing deposits with banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with the Bank of Canada, securities, cash collateral on securities borrowed or securities purchased under resale agreements, loans net of allowance for credit losses, and certain sublease-related assets.

Basis point

Collateral

Assets pledged to secure loans or other obligations, which are forfeited if the obligations are not repaid.

Collateralized debt obligation (CDO)

Securitization of any combination of corporate debt, asset-backed securities (ABS), mortgage-backed securities or tranches of other CDOs to form a pool of diverse assets that are tranched into securities that offer varying degrees of risk and return to meet investor demand.

Credit derivatives

A category of financial instruments that allow one party (the beneficiary) to separate and transfer the credit risk of nonpayment or partial payment of an underlying financial instrument to another party (the guarantor).

Credit valuation adjustment (CVA)

A valuation adjustment that is required to be considered in measuring fair value of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives to recognize the risk that any given derivative counterparty may not ultimately be able to fulfill its obligations. In assessing the net counterparty credit risk (CCR) exposure, we take into account credit mitigants such as collateral, master netting arrangements, and settlements through clearing houses.

Current replacement cost

The estimated cost of replacing an asset at the present time according to its current worth.

Derivatives

A financial contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying instrument, index or financial rate.

Dividend payout ratio

Common share dividends paid as a percentage of net income after preferred share dividends, premium on preferred share redemptions, and distributions on other equity instruments.

Table of Contents

Dividend yield

Dividends per common share divided by the closing common share price.

Effective interest rate method

A method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

Efficiency ratio

Non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue (net interest income and non-interest income).

Risk and capital glossary

Advanced internal ratings-based (AIRB) approach for credit risk

Version of the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach to credit risk where institutions provide their own estimates of probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD) and exposure at default (EAD), and their own calculation of effective maturity, subject to meeting minimum standards. Effective in the second quarter of 2023, AIRB is no longer permitted for some exposure categories.

Asset/liability management (ALM)

The practice of managing risks that arise from mismatches between the assets and liabilities, mainly in the non-trading areas of the bank. Techniques are used to manage the relative duration of CIBC’s assets (such as loans) and liabilities (such as deposits), in order to minimize the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

Bail-in eligible liabilities

Bail-in eligible liabilities include long-term (i.e., original maturity over 400 days), unsecured senior debt issued on or after September 23, 2018 that is tradable and transferrable, and any preferred shares and subordinated debt that are not considered non-viability contingent capital (NVCC). Consumer deposits, secured liabilities (including covered bonds), certain financial contracts (including derivatives) and certain structured notes are not bail-in eligible.

Bank exposures

All direct credit risk exposures to deposit-taking institutions and regulated securities firms, and exposures guaranteed by those entities.

Business and government portfolio

A category of exposures that includes lending to businesses and governments, where the primary basis of adjudication relies on the determination and assignment of an appropriate risk rating that reflects the credit risk of the exposure.

Central counterparty (CCP)

A clearing house that interposes itself between counterparties to clear contracts traded in one or more financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer and thereby ensuring the future performance of open contracts.

Comprehensive approach for securities financing transactions

A framework for the measurement of CCR with respect to securities financing transactions, which utilizes a volatility-adjusted collateral value to reduce the amount of the exposure.

Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 and Total capital ratios

Drawn exposure

The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from loans and other receivables advanced to the customer.

Economic capital

Economic capital provides a framework to evaluate the returns of each strategic business unit, commensurate with risk assumed. Economic capital is a non-GAAP risk measure based upon an internal estimate of equity capital required by the businesses to absorb unexpected losses consistent with our targeted risk rating over a one-year horizon. Economic capital comprises primarily credit, market, operational and strategic risk capital.

Economic profit

A non-GAAP risk-adjusted performance measure used for measuring economic value added. It is calculated as earnings of each business less a charge for the cost of capital.

Exposure at default (EAD)

An estimate of the amount of exposure to a customer at the event of, and at the time of, default.

Foundation internal ratings-based (FIRB) approach for credit risk

Version of the IRB approach to credit risk where institutions provide their own estimates of PD and their own calculation of effective maturity and rely on prescribed supervisory estimates for other risk components such as LGD and EAD. Effective in the second quarter of 2023, FIRB methodology must be used for some exposure categories.

Incremental risk charge (IRC)

A capital charge applied in addition to market risk capital specifically to cover default and migration risk in unsecuritized credit assets of varying liquidity held in the trading book.

Models, which have been developed by CIBC and approved by OSFI, for the measurement of CCR with respect to OTC derivatives.

Internal ratings-based (IRB) approach for credit risk

Approach to determining credit risk capital requirements based on risk components such as PD, LGD, EAD and effective maturity.

Internal ratings-based approach for securitization exposures

This approach comprises two calculation methods available for securitization exposures that require OSFI approval: the Internal Ratings-Based Approach (SEC-IRBA) is available to the banks approved to use the IRB approach for underlying exposures securitized and the Internal Assessment Approach (SEC-IAA) available for certain securitization exposures extended to asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) programs.

Leverage ratio exposure

The leverage ratio exposure is defined under the OSFI rules as on-balance sheet assets (unweighted) less Tier 1 capital regulatory adjustments plus derivative exposures, securities financing transaction exposures with a limited form of netting under certain conditions, and other off-balance sheet exposures (such as commitments, direct credit substitutes, undrawn credit card exposures, securitization exposures and unsettled trades).

Leverage ratio

Defined as Tier 1 capital divided by the leverage ratio exposure determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI, which are based on BCBS standards.

Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)

Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline, the LCR is a liquidity standard that aims to ensure that an institution has an adequate stock of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) that consists of cash or assets that can be converted into cash at little or no loss of value in private markets, to meet its liquidity needs for a 30-calendar-day liquidity stress scenario.

Liquidity risk

The risk of having insufficient cash or its equivalent in a timely and cost-effective manner to meet financial obligations as they come due.

Loss given default (LGD)

An estimate of the amount of exposure to a customer that will not be recovered following a default by that customer, expressed as a percentage of the EAD. LGD is generally based on through-the-cycle assumptions for regulatory capital purposes, and generally based on point-in-time assumptions reflecting forward-looking information for IFRS 9 ECL purposes.

Market risk

The risk of economic and/or financial loss in our trading and non-trading portfolios from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity market prices, commodity prices, credit spreads and customer behaviour for retail products.

Master netting agreement

An industry standard agreement designed to reduce the credit risk of multiple transactions with a counterparty through the creation of a legal right of offset of exposures in the event of a default by that counterparty and through the provision for net settlement of all contracts through a single payment.

Net cumulative cash flow (NCCF)

The NCCF is a liquidity horizon metric defined under OSFI’s LAR Guideline as a monitoring and supervision tool for liquidity risk that measures an institution’s detailed cash flows in order to capture the risk posed by funding mismatches between assets and liabilities.

Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)

Non-viability contingent capital (NVCC)

Effective January 1, 2013, in order to qualify for inclusion in regulatory capital, all non-common Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments must be capable of absorbing losses at the point of non-viability of a financial institution. This will ensure that investors in such instruments bear losses before taxpayers where the government determines that it is in the public interest to rescue a non-viable bank.

Operational risk

The risk of loss resulting from people, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, or from external events.

Other off-balance sheet exposure

The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from the issuance of guarantees and letters of credit.

CIBC THIRD QUARTER 2023	55

Table of Contents

Other retail

This exposure class includes all loans other than qualifying revolving retail and real estate secured personal lending that are extended to individuals under the regulatory capital reporting framework.

Over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives exposure

The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from derivatives that trade directly between two counterparties, rather than through exchanges.

Probability of default (PD)

An estimate of the likelihood of default for any particular customer which occurs when that customer is not able to repay its obligations as they become contractually due. PD is based on through-the-cycle assumptions for regulatory capital purposes, and based on point-in-time assumptions reflecting forward-looking information for IFRS 9 ECL purposes.

Qualifying central counterparty (QCCP)

An entity that is licensed to operate as a CCP and is permitted by the appropriate regulator or oversight body to operate as such with respect to the products offered by that CCP.

Qualifying revolving retail

This exposure class includes credit cards, unsecured lines of credit and overdraft protection products extended to individuals. Under the standardized approach, these exposures would be included under “other retail”.

Real estate secured personal lending

This exposure class includes residential mortgages and home equity loans and lines of credit extended to individuals.

Regulatory capital

Regulatory capital, as defined by OSFI’s CAR Guideline, is comprised of CET1, Additional Tier 1 (AT1) and Tier 2 capital. CET1 capital includes common shares, retained earnings, AOCI (excluding AOCI relating to cash flow hedges and changes in fair value option liabilities attributable to changes in own credit risk) and qualifying instruments issued by a consolidated banking subsidiary to third parties, less regulatory adjustments for items such as goodwill and other intangible assets, certain deferred tax assets, net assets related to defined benefit pension plans, and certain investments. AT1 capital primarily includes NVCC preferred shares, Limited Recourse Capital Notes, and qualifying instruments issued by a consolidated subsidiary to third parties. Tier 1 capital is comprised of CET1 plus AT1. Tier 2 capital includes NVCC subordinated indebtedness, eligible general allowances, and qualifying instruments issued by a consolidated subsidiary to third parties. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital. Qualifying regulatory capital instruments must be capable of absorbing loss at the point of non-viability of the financial institution.

Repo-style transactions exposure

The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from our securities bought or sold under resale agreements, as well as securities borrowing and lending activities.

Reputation risk

The risk of negative publicity regarding CIBC’s business conduct or practices which, whether true or not, could significantly harm CIBC’s reputation as a leading financial institution, or could materially and adversely affect CIBC’s business, operations, or financial condition.

Resecuritization

A securitization exposure in which the risk associated with an underlying pool of exposures is tranched and at least one of the underlying exposures is a securitization exposure.

Retail portfolios

A category of exposures that primarily includes consumer but also small business lending, where the primary basis of adjudication relies on credit-scoring models.

Risk-weighted assets (RWA)

RWA consist of three components: (i) RWA for credit risk, which are calculated using the IRB and standardized approaches, (ii) RWA for market risk, and (iii) RWA for operational risk. The IRB RWA are calculated using PDs, LGDs, EADs, and in some cases maturity adjustments, while the standardized approach applies risk weighting factors specified in the OSFI guidelines to on- and off-balance sheet exposures. The RWA for market risk in the trading portfolio are based on the internal models approved by OSFI with the exception of the RWA for traded securitization assets where we are using the methodology defined by OSFI. The RWA for operational risk, which relate to the risk of losses resulting from people, inadequate or failed internal processes, and systems or from external events, are calculated under a standardized approach.

Since the introduction of Basel II in 2008, OSFI has prescribed a capital floor requirement for institutions that use the AIRB approach for credit risk. The capital floor is determined by comparing a capital requirement calculated by reference to the Basel II standardized approach against the Basel III calculation, as specified by OSFI. Any shortfall in the Basel III capital requirement is added to RWA.

Securitization

The process of selling assets (normally financial assets such as loans, leases, trade receivables, credit card receivables or mortgages) to trusts or other SEs. A SE normally issues securities or other forms of interests to investors and/or the asset transferor, and the SE uses the proceeds from the issue of securities or other forms of interest to purchase the transferred assets. The SE will generally use the cash flows generated by the assets to meet the obligations under the securities or other interests issued by the SE, which may carry a number of different risk profiles.

Simple, transparent and comparable (STC) securitizations

Securitization exposures satisfying a set of regulatory STC criteria. Such exposures qualify for a preferential capital treatment under the securitization framework.

56	CIBC THIRD QUARTER 2023

Table of Contents

Small and medium enterprises (SME) retail

This exposure class includes all loans extended to scored small businesses under the regulatory capital reporting framework.

Sovereign exposures

All direct credit risk exposures to governments, central banks and certain public sector entities, and exposures guaranteed by those entities.

Specialized lending (SL)

A subset of Corporate exposures falling into one of the following sub-classes: project finance (PF), object finance (OF), commodities finance (CF), income-producing real estate (IPRE), and high-volatility commercial real estate (HVCRE). Primary source of repayment for such credits is the income generated by the asset(s), rather than the independent capacity of a broader commercial enterprise.

Standardized approach for credit risk

Applied to exposures when there is not sufficient information to allow for the use of the AIRB approach for credit risk. Credit risk capital requirements are calculated based on a standardized set of risk weights as prescribed in the CAR Guideline. The standardized risk weights are based on external credit assessments, where available, and other risk-related factors, including export credit agencies, exposure asset class, collateral, etc.

Standardized approach for operational risk

Effective in the second quarter of 2023, is based on a prescribed formula made up of three components: (i) the Business Indicator (BI) which is a financial-statement-based proxy for operational risk, (ii) the Business Indicator Component (BIC) which is calculated by multiplying the BI by a set of regulatory determined marginal coefficients, and (iii) the Internal Loss Multiplier which is a scaling factor that is based on the average historical operational losses and the BIC.

Standardized approach for securitization exposures

This approach comprises the calculation methods available for securitization exposures that do not require OSFI approval: the External Ratings-Based Approach (SEC-ERBA) and the Standardized Approach (SEC-SA).

Strategic risk

The risk of ineffective or improper implementation of business strategies, including mergers and acquisitions. It includes the potential financial loss and impact to resiliency due to the failure of organic growth initiatives or failure to respond appropriately to changes in the business or industry environments.

Stressed Value-at-Risk

A VaR calculation using a one-year observation period related to significant losses for the given portfolio at a specified level of confidence and time horizon.

Structural foreign exchange risk

Structural foreign exchange risk is the risk primarily inherent in net investments in foreign operations due to changes in foreign exchange rates, and foreign currency denominated RWA and foreign currency denominated capital deductions.

Structural interest rate risk

Structural interest rate risk primarily consists of the risk arising due to mismatches in assets and liabilities, which do not arise from trading and trading-related businesses.

Total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) measure

The sum of Total capital and bail-in eligible liabilities (as defined above) that have a residual maturity greater than one year.

Total loss absorbing capacity ratio

Defined as TLAC measure divided by RWA determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI.

Total loss absorbing capacity leverage ratio

Defined as TLAC measure divided by leverage ratio exposure determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI.

Transitional arrangements for capital treatment of expected loss provisioning

On March 27, 2020, OSFI introduced transitional arrangements for ECL provisioning. These arrangements result in a portion of allowances that would otherwise be included in Tier 2 capital qualifying for inclusion in CET1 capital. The amount of ECL allowances eligible for inclusion in CET1 capital is determined based on the increase in stage 1 and stage 2 allowances relative to balances as at January 31, 2020 as a baseline. This amount is then adjusted for tax effects and is subject to a scaling factor that will decrease over time. The scaling factor has been set at 70% for fiscal 2020, 50% for fiscal 2021, and 25% for fiscal 2022. For exposures under the IRB approach, the lower of this amount and excess allowances eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 capital is included as CET1 capital under the transitional arrangements. The transitional arrangement was no longer applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2023.

Undrawn exposures

The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from loans that have not been advanced to a customer, but which a customer may be entitled to draw in the future.

Value-at-Risk (VaR)

Generally accepted risk measure that uses statistical models to estimate the distribution of possible returns on a given portfolio at a specified level of confidence and time horizon.

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements

(Unaudited)

The interim consolidated financial statements of CIBC are prepared in accordance with Section 308(4) of the Bank Act (Canada), which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). There are no accounting requirements of OSFI that are exceptions to IFRS.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as CIBC’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended October 31, 2022.

All amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 30, 2023.

Note 1. Changes in accounting policies

(a) Current period changes in accounting standards

There are no new or amended accounting standards that are effective for CIBC this fiscal year.

(b) Future accounting policy changes

IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” (IFRS 17), issued in May 2017, replaces IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”. In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 17 partly aimed at helping companies implement the standard. IFRS 17, incorporating the amendments, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, which for us will be November 1, 2023. IFRS 17 provides comprehensive guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts we issue and reinsurance contracts we hold. IFRS 17 requires groups of insurance contracts to be established and measured on the basis of fulfillment cash flows using the measurement models outlined by the standard. Insurance contracts under the General Measurement Model (GMM), are measured based on the present value of fulfillment cash flows, a risk adjustment for non-financial risks, and a contractual service margin (CSM) representing our unearned profits on a portfolio basis, further disaggregated into profitability groups. We expect to apply GMM to our insurance contracts with contract boundaries exceeding a year. Contracts under the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA) are measured on the basis of premiums received. We expect to apply the PAA measurement model to our insurance contracts with contract boundaries shorter than a year. Revenue is recognized over time as insurance services are provided under both measurement models. If a group of contracts is expected to be onerous at initial recognition or turns onerous subsequently, the losses will be recognized immediately. IFRS 17 is to be applied retrospectively unless impracticable. We expect changes in the timing of revenue recognition for our insurance contracts, changes to our insurance contract liabilities under IFRS 17, and a negative transitional adjustment to equity upon adoption of IFRS 17. We do not expect a material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting IFRS 17.

We continue to prepare for the implementation of IFRS 17, which is overseen by an Executive Steering Committee. The Executive Steering Committee includes stakeholders from the frontline business and functional groups including Finance, Technology and Risk Management as well as our Appointed Actuary. We have evaluated the changes to our accounting and actuarial policies resulting from the adoption of IFRS 17 and have substantially completed our implementation of a technology solution to support the new accounting requirements.

We continue to finalize the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Significant estimates and assumptions

As disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the recognized and measured amounts of assets, liabilities, net income, comprehensive income and related disclosures. Significant estimates and assumptions are made in the areas of the valuation of financial instruments, allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of whether to consolidate structured entities, asset impairment, income taxes, provisions and contingent liabilities, post-employment and other long-term benefit plan assumptions and valuation of self-managed loyalty points programs. We continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment which gives rise to heightened uncertainty as it relates to accounting estimates and assumptions and increases the need to apply judgment in evaluating the economic and market environment and its impact on significant estimates.

The need to apply judgment particularly impacts estimates and assumptions relating to the allowance for credit losses, where significant judgment continued to be inherent in the forecasting of forward-looking information. Changes in the judgments and estimates related to IFRS 9 can have a significant impact on the level of expected credit loss (ECL) allowance recognized and the period-over-period volatility of the provision for credit losses. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Annual Report, and Note 6 to our interim consolidated financial statements for more information concerning the high level of judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowance.

Transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. Transfers between levels can occur as a result of additional or new information regarding valuation inputs and changes in their observability. During the quarter ended July 31, 2023, we transferred $1,053 million of securities mandatorily measured at FVTPL from Level 1 to Level 2 and $652 million from Level 2 to Level 1, and $1,114 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2, due to changes in observability in the inputs used to value these securities (for the quarter ended April 30, 2023, $2,166 million of securities mandatorily measured at FVTPL were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and $ 372 million from Level 2 to Level 1, and $954 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2 and $22 million from Level 2 to Level 1; for the quarter ended July 31, 2022, $402 million of securities mandatorily measured at FVTPL

were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 and no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1, $1,784 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2 and no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1). In addition, transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were made during the quarters ended July 31, 2023, April 30, 2023, and July 31, 2022, primarily due to changes in the assessment of the observability of certain correlation and market volatility and probability inputs that were used in measuring the fair value of our FVO liabilities and derivatives.

The following table presents the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities in Level 3. These instruments are measured at fair value utilizing non-observable market inputs. We often hedge positions with offsetting positions that may be classified in a different level. As a result, the gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the Level 3 category presented in the table below do not reflect the effect of offsetting gains and losses on the related hedging instruments that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2.

Financial instruments designated at FVTPL (FVO)

A net gain of $2 million, net of hedges for the three months ended July 31, 2023 (a net loss of $12 million and a net gain of $24 million for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and July 31, 2022, respectively), which is included in the interim consolidated statement of income under Gains (losses) from financial instruments measured/designated at FVTPL, net was recognized for FVO assets and FVO liabilities. A net loss of $18 million, net of hedges for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was realized for FVO assets and FVO liabilities (a net gain of $53 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2022).

The fair value of a FVO liability reflects the credit risk relating to that liability. For those FVO liabilities for which we believe changes in our credit risk would impact the fair value from the note holders’ perspective, the related fair value changes were recognized in OCI.

Inputs, assumptions and model techniques

Global economic activity is expected to continue to be weak throughout the remainder of 2023 and into 2024, and we continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. There is inherent uncertainty in estimating the impact that higher interest rates, inflation, events in the U.S. banking sector and geopolitical events, will have on the macroeconomic environment. As a result, a heightened level of judgment in estimating ECLs in respect of all these elements as discussed below, continued to be required this quarter. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Annual Report and Note 2 to our interim consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the significant estimates and credit judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowances.

The following tables provide the base case, upside case and downside case scenario forecasts for select forward-looking information variables used to estimate our ECL.

(2)	National-level forward-looking forecasts are presented in the tables above, which represent the aggregation of the provincial-level forecasts used to estimate our ECL. Housing Price Index growth rates are also forecasted at the municipal level in some cases. As a result, the forecasts for individual provinces or municipalities reflected in our ECL will differ from the national forecasts presented above.

Table of Contents

As required, the forward-looking information used to estimate ECLs reflects our expectations as at July 31, 2023, April 30, 2023 and October 31, 2022, respectively, and does not reflect changes in expectation as a result of economic forecasts that may have subsequently emerged. The base case, upside case and downside case amounts shown represent the average value of the forecasts over the respective projection horizons. Our underlying base case projection as at July 31, 2023 is characterized by relatively weak real GDP growth in both Canada and the U.S. due to the higher interest rates imposed by central banks in an attempt to ease demand and bring inflation back to target levels, and a modest increase in unemployment rates. Our base case continues to assume that interest rates will stay at elevated levels through the remainder of calendar 2023 and then modestly reduce through to the end of 2024, although remaining at higher than pre-pandemic levels. Compared to the prior quarter, our base case assumes higher levels of interest rates in Canada and the U.S. Significant judgment continued to be inherent in the forecasting of forward-looking information, including our base case assumptions regarding the economic impact of higher levels of interest rates, the easing of inflationary pressures, the impact from events in the U.S. banking sector during the year, the impact of COVID-19 and the global economic risks emanating from the war in Ukraine.

The downside case forecast assumes a recession and higher unemployment rates in Canada driven by a correction in the housing market, higher interest rates and lower consumer spending. The downside case forecast for the U.S. also assumes a recession from the interest rate hikes that were introduced to combat prolonged high levels of inflation. The downside forecasts also reflect slower recoveries thereafter to lower levels of sustained economic activity and unemployment rates persistently above where they stood pre-pandemic. The upside scenario continues to reflect a better economic environment than the base case forecast, particularly for the U.S.

As indicated above, forecasting forward-looking information for multiple scenarios and determining the probability weighting of the scenarios involves a high degree of management judgment. Assumptions concerning measures used by governments to combat inflation, the economic impact of the events in the U.S. banking sector during the year, and global economic risks emanating from the war in Ukraine are material to these forecasts. To address the uncertainties inherent in the current environment, we continue to utilize management overlays with respect to the impact of certain forward-looking information and credit metrics that are not expected to be as indicative of the credit condition of the portfolios as the historical experience in our models would have otherwise suggested, including with respect to the benefit of higher levels of household savings that have accumulated during the pandemic. The use of management overlays requires the application of significant judgment that impacts the amount of ECL allowances recognized.

If we were to only use our base case scenario for the measurement of ECL for our performing loans, our ECL allowance would be $328 million lower than the recognized ECL as at July 31, 2023 (October 31, 2022: $248 million). If we were to only use our downside case scenario for the measurement of ECL for our performing loans, our ECL allowance would be $1,040 million higher than the recognized ECL as at July 31, 2023 (October 31, 2022: $847 million). This sensitivity is isolated to the measurement of ECL and therefore did not consider changes in the migration of exposures between stage 1 and stage 2 from the determination of the significant increase in credit risk that would have resulted in a 100% base case scenario or a 100% downside case scenario. As a result, our ECL allowance on performing loans could exceed the amount implied by the 100% downside case scenario from the migration of additional exposures from stage 1 to stage 2. Actual credit losses could differ materially from those reflected in our estimates.

(1)	The table excludes debt securities measured at FVOCI, for which ECL allowances of $21 million (October 31, 2022: $24 million) were recognized in AOCI. In addition, the table excludes debt securities classified at amortized cost, for which ECL allowances of $20 million were recognized as at July 31, 2023 (October 31, 2022: $15 million). Other financial assets classified at amortized cost were also excluded from the table above as their ECL allowances were immaterial as at July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022. Financial assets other than loans that are classified at amortized cost are presented on our interim consolidated balance sheet net of ECL allowances.

The transitional arrangement was no longer applicable, beginning in the first quarter of 2023. The July 31, 2023 results reflect the impacts from the implementation of Basel III reforms that became effective as of February 1, 2023.

78	CIBC THIRD QUARTER 2023
---	---

Table of Contents

Our regulatory capital ratios are determined in accordance with the Capital Adequacy Requirements Guideline issued by OSFI, which are based on the capital standards developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. CIBC has been designated by OSFI as a domestic systemically important bank (D-SIB) in Canada, and is subject to a CET1 surcharge equal to 1.0% of RWA. OSFI also expects D-SIBs to hold a Domestic Stability Buffer (DSB) of 3.0%, which was increased from 2.5% effective February 1, 2023. The resulting targets established by OSFI for D-SIBs, including all buffer requirements, for the CET1, Tier 1, and Total capital ratios are 11.0%, 12.5%, and 14.5%, respectively. On June 20, 2023, OSFI

further announced an increase to the DSB from

3.0%

to 3.5 %

, effective November 1, 2023.

To supplement risk-based capital requirements, OSFI expects federally regulated deposit-taking institutions to have a leverage ratio, which is a non-risk-based capital metric, that meets or exceeds 3.5

%, including a 0.5% D-SIB buffer.

Under the TLAC guideline, OSFI also requires D-SIBs to maintain a supervisory target TLAC ratio (which builds on the risk-based capital ratios) and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio (which builds on the leverage ratio). OSFI expects D-SIBs to have a minimum risk-based TLAC ratio of 21.5% plus the then applicable DSB requirement (3.0% as noted above), and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio of 7.25%. These targets may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2023, we have complied with OSFI’s regulatory capital, leverage ratio, and TLAC requirements.

Note 13. Contingent liabilities and provisions

Legal proceedings and other contingencies

In the ordinary course of its business, CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, in which claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against CIBC and its subsidiaries. Legal provisions are established if, in the opinion of management, it is both probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to resolve the matter, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the reliable estimate of probable loss involves a range of potential outcomes within which a specific amount appears to be a better estimate, that amount is accrued. If no specific amount within the range of potential outcomes appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the mid-point in the range is accrued. In some instances, however, it is not possible either to determine whether an obligation is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of loss, in which case no accrual can be made.

While there is inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of legal proceedings, based on current knowledge and in consultation with legal counsel, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our interim consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, may be material to our operating results for a particular reporting period. We regularly assess the adequacy of CIBC’s litigation accruals and make the necessary adjustments to incorporate new information as it becomes available.

The provisions disclosed in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report included all of CIBC’s accruals for legal matters as at that date, including amounts related to the significant legal proceedings described in that note and to other legal matters.

CIBC considers losses to be reasonably possible when they are neither probable nor remote. It is reasonably possible that CIBC may incur losses in addition to the amounts recorded when the loss accrued is the mid-point of a range of reasonably possible losses, or the potential loss pertains to a matter in which an unfavourable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable.

80	CIBC THIRD QUARTER 2023

Table of Contents

CIBC believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of the amounts accrued, for its significant legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such an estimate, is from nil to approximately $0.5 billion as at July 31, 2023. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those significant proceedings in which CIBC is involved, taking into account CIBC’s best estimate of such losses for those cases for which an estimate can be made. CIBC’s estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of the liability has yet to be determined. The range does not include potential punitive damages. The matters underlying the estimated range as at July 31, 2023, consist of the significant legal matters disclosed in Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2022 Annual Report as updated below. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate. For certain matters, CIBC does not believe that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in preliminary stages and certain matters have no specific amount claimed. Consequently, these matters are not included in the range.

The following developments related to our significant legal proceedings occurred since the issuance of our 2022 annual consolidated financial statements:

•	Cerberus Capital Management L.P. v. CIBC:<br>The trial decision was released on December 1, 2022 finding CIBC liable. A damages hearing proceeded on December 19, 2022. In January 2023, the court set damages in the amount of US$491 million plus pre-judgment interest. Following the court’s decision, we recognized a provision of US$855 million ($1,169 million pre-tax or $844 million after-tax) in other non-interest expense, representing the award of damages and accrued pre-judgment interest thereon for the period ended January 31, 2023. On February 6, 2023, the court entered the final judgment in the amount of US$856 million including pre-judgment interest as of February 6, 2023. Post-judgment interest would have accrued on the amount of the final judgment. In February 2023, the parties settled this matter. Pursuant to the settlement, CIBC paid US$770 million to Cerberus in full satisfaction of the judgment. The US$85 million ($114 million pre-tax or $82 million after-tax) difference between the amount recorded in the first quarter of 2023 and the settlement amount was recognized in other non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2023. This matter is now closed.
•	Fresco v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce<br>: In March 2023, the settlement was approved in Ontario. In May 2023, the settlement was approved in Quebec. This matter is now closed.
---	---
•	Mortgage prepayment class actions<br>: The settlement approval hearing in<br>Haroch<br>was heard in February 2023. The court reserved its decision. In March 2023, the settlement in <br>Haroch<br> was approved. This matter is now closed.
---	---
•	Pope v. CIBC and CIBC Trust<br>: In January 2023, the plaintiffs delivered a draft amended Statement of Claim. The motion to rule on the plaintiffs’ proposed amendments to the Statement of Claim scheduled for July 2023 has been adjourned.
---	---
•	The Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) of J.T.G v. His Majesty The King<br>: The appeal was heard in May 2023. The court reserved its decision.
---	---
•	Order Execution Only class actions<br>: In January 2023, the court released its decision dismissing the motion for certification as a class action in <br>Frayce<br>. The plaintiffs are appealing the certification decision. The plaintiffs’ appeal of the certification decision in Frayce is scheduled for December 2023. In August 2023, the <br>Ciardullo<br>, <br>Ciardullo and Aggarwal<br>, and <br>Woodard<br> actions were temporarily stayed pending a decision on liability in the <br>Pozgaj<br> action.
