In the first quarter, the continued execution of our strategy enabled us to deliver strong financial results. Our highly connected and engaged team is guided by our purpose of helping make our clients’ ambitions a reality each and every day, which is attracting new business to our bank, deepening existing relationships, and driving strong top line growth across all of our businesses. To support our clear momentum and long-term growth, we continue to invest in our technology and talent to create a modern and exceptional experience for our clients and team, and we’re activating our resources to create positive change for our stakeholders as we contribute to a more sustainable, inclusive future.
Core business performance
Canadian Personal and Business Banking
reported net income of $687 million for the first quarter, up $35 million or 5% from the first quarter a year ago, mainly due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses and provision for credit losses. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(1)
were $1,044 million, up $105 million from the first quarter a year ago, mainly due to higher revenue driven by volume growth and higher fee income, partially offset by higher expenses.
Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management
reported net income of $462 million for the first quarter, up $108 million or 31% from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(1)
were $624 million, up $108 million from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to strong volume growth and higher fee revenue in commercial banking, while wealth management revenue benefitted from significant growth in asset balances driven by market appreciation, net sales, and an increased level of investment activity by clients. Higher expenses were primarily driven by revenue-based variable compensation reflecting favourable business results and spending on strategic initiatives.
U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management
reported net income of $226 million (US$178 million) for the first quarter, up $38 million (up US$32 million) from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher expenses. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(1)
were $308 million (US$242 million), up $10 million (up US$10 million) from the first quarter a year ago due to higher revenue, primarily driven by volume growth and higher fees, partially offset by higher employee-related expenses.
Capital Markets
reported net income of $543 million for the first quarter, up $50 million or 10% from the first quarter a year ago, primarily due to higher revenue and a reversal of loan loss provisions, partially offset by higher expenses. Adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
(1)
were up $56 million or 9% from the first quarter a year ago, due to higher revenue from our global markets, corporate and investment banking and direct financial services businesses, partially offset by higher expenses.

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 commitments (including with respect to net-zero emissions), ongoing objectives, strategies, the regulatory environment in which we operate and outlook for calendar year 2022 and subsequent periods. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “target”, “objective” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would” and “could”. By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions, including the economic assumptions set out in the “Financial performance overview – 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 the coronavirus
(COVID-19)
pandemic 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: the occurrence, continuance or intensification of public health emergencies, such as the
COVID-19
pandemic, 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; the resolution of legal and regulatory proceedings and related matters; the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations; changes in our estimates of reserves and allowances; changes in tax laws; changes to our credit ratings; political conditions and developments, including changes relating to economic or trade matters; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts and terrorism; natural disasters, 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 environmental and social risks; inflationary pressures; global supply-chain disruptions; 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.

The ratio is calculated as the provision for credit losses on impaired loans to average loans and acceptances, net of allowance for credit losses.
(3)
Average interest-earning assets include interest-bearing deposits with banks, interest-bearing demand deposits with Bank of Canada, securities, cash collateral on securities borrowed, securities purchased under resale agreements, loans net of allowance for credit losses, and certain sublease-related assets.
(4)
Average balances are calculated as a weighted average of daily closing balances.

Net income expressed as a percentage of average assets or average interest-earning assets.
(6)
Common shareholders’ equity divided by the number of common shares issued and outstanding at end of period.
(7)
Adjusted measures are
non-GAAP
measures. Adjusted measures are calculated in the same manner as reported measures, except that financial information included in the calculation of adjusted measures is adjusted to exclude the impact of items of note. For additional information and a reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results, see the
“Non-GAAP
measures” section.

Includes the full contract amount of AUA or custody under a 50/50 joint venture between CIBC and The Bank of New York Mellon of $2,387.1 billion (October 31, 2021: $2,341.1 billion; January 31, 2021: $1,977.7 billion).
(10)
AUM amounts are included in the amounts reported under AUA.
(11)
RWA and our capital ratios are calculated pursuant to the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institution’s (OSFI’s) Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline, the leverage ratio is calculated pursuant to OSFI’s Leverage Requirements Guideline, and LCR and NSFR are calculated pursuant to OSFI’s Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline, all of which are based on the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) standards. For additional information, see the “Capital management” and “Liquidity risk” sections.

  CIBC FIRST QUARTER 2022

Financial performance overview
Economic outlook
Global economic activity had improved heading into 2022, although the
COVID-19
pandemic, fueled by the more contagious Omicron variant, continued to pose a headwind to the pace of that recovery, impacting services demand and the supply of goods. Additional restrictions imposed by governments around the world to limit the impact of the infection negatively impacted the service sector recovery, and worker absenteeism delayed a further improvement in production and shipping. Vaccination rates are still climbing, and although the virus remains a threat, our outlook assumes that targeted health measures rather than broader economic closures will be used to contain future infections in most countries. We also assume that the increased global distribution of vaccines, as well as immunity acquired through prior infections, will help relieve supply chain disruptions, improving the availability of and lowering price pressures on internationally traded goods.
In Canada, after a slower start to 2022, real gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by approximately 3.5% in calendar 2022, after a gain of over 4.5% in calendar 2021, led by a further recovery in consumer services demand in the second to fourth calendar quarters, as well as improvements in exports and capital spending as global supply chain pressures ease. We expect that the unemployment rate will average near 6% in calendar 2022, approaching full-employment levels in the latter half of the year. Improving economic activity will more than offset diminished government assistance for businesses and households, supporting business and household credit growth and credit quality. Government bond issuance will remain elevated this year with a high level of maturities due to be refinanced. Although inflation is expected to ease later in the year on improved goods supplies, we expect that the Bank of Canada will respond to a tightening labour market by raising the overnight interest rate by approximately 100 basis points over the course of the year. Longer-term rates will drift higher over the year as the market builds in expectations for rate hikes beyond 2022, and as North American central banks reduce bond holdings from the relatively high levels previously accumulated under quantitative easing through scheduled maturities.
In the U.S., real GDP is expected to grow by approximately 4% in calendar 2022, after growing by 5.7% in the prior calendar year. Unemployment is expected to average in the 3.5% to 4% range in calendar 2022, reaching full-employment levels by the middle of the year. Strong employment gains and improving business revenues will support lower insolvencies. In response to achieving its employment objectives, the Federal Reserve is likely to increase rates by approximately 100 basis points during calendar 2022.
The economic challenges from
COVID-19
have impacted all our strategic business units (SBUs), and while they are likely to continue to be present in the coming year, lower hospitalization rates and fatalities, facilitated by higher vaccination rates and other potential treatments for
COVID-19,
will shape the environment ahead. From a credit perspective, lower and more targeted government support will be more than offset by improving employment and business volumes. Deposit growth will continue at moderate rates, having already adjusted to the deceleration in the flow of government support payments to households and businesses. The rising interest rate environment is expected to have a modestly positive impact on the net interest margins for all our SBUs.
For Canadian Personal and Business Banking, mortgage demand growth could decelerate slightly in this fiscal year on softer home sales volumes and higher interest rates. We expect to see a modest acceleration in growth in
non-mortgage
credit demand as a result of the continued easing of pandemic-related constraints on economic activity, which will support an increase in consumer spending. Further increases in consumer spending are expected to have a positive impact on retail transaction volumes. Continued demand for business lending products is anticipated as small businesses expand in response to the economic recovery.
Our Canadian and U.S. wealth management businesses are expected to benefit in the coming fiscal year from further economic recovery, with investors continuing to look for alternatives to what will still be low real interest rates.
Our Capital Markets business is expected to benefit in this fiscal year from trading volumes driven by greater volatility as interest rates rise, from merger and acquisition activity as corporate consolidations continue, as well as from healthy equity issuance, but could be negatively impacted by lower corporate bond issuance. Loan demand in our Canadian and U.S. commercial banking business in this fiscal year is expected to continue to grow at a healthy pace in the coming fiscal year in response to improving economic conditions.
The economic outlook described above reflects numerous assumptions regarding the economic impact of the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic. Although its severity appears to be diminishing where vaccination rates are high, hospitalization rates are still elevated, and uncertainties remain regarding the pace of global vaccination efforts, the need for booster doses and the degree to which they will contain existing and potential new variants, without measures that limit economic activity. Expectations reflect currently available information and are subject to change as new information on epidemiology and government health measures becomes available. Further, the economic fallout from the conflict in Ukraine, including the impact of wider sanctions, represents a risk to the forecasts to the extent that it impacts global growth and financial market confidence. As a result, actual experience may differ materially from expectations.
Our financial condition and our regulatory capital and liquidity positions continue to be strong. See “Capital management” and “Liquidity risk” for further details. The impact of the pandemic on our risk environment is discussed in “Top and emerging risks”. Changes in the level of economic uncertainty arising from the pandemic continue to impact key accounting estimates and assumptions, particularly the estimation of ECLs. See “Accounting and control matters”, as well as Note 2 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, Grenada, Dominica, St. Kitts and Aruba. The proposed sale of banking assets in Aruba received regulatory approval in the first quarter of 2022 and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022. The remaining transactions are subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, which are expected to be finalized in the second half of fiscal 2022. The impacts upon closing are not expected to be material.
Acquisition of Canadian Costco credit card portfolio
On September 2, 2021, we announced that we entered into a long-term agreement to become the exclusive issuer of Costco-branded Mastercard credit cards in Canada. We will also acquire the existing Canadian Costco credit card portfolio, which has over $3 billion in outstanding balances. This transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

Financial results review
Reported net income for the quarter was $1,869 million, compared with $1,625 million for the same quarter last year, and $1,440 million for the prior quarter.
Adjusted net income
(1)
for the quarter was $1,894 million, compared with $1,640 million for the same quarter last year, and $1,573 million for the prior quarter.
Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $4.03, compared with $3.55 for the same quarter last year, and $3.07 for the prior quarter.
Adjusted diluted EPS
(1)
for the quarter was $4.08, compared with $3.58 for the same quarter last year, and $3.37 for the prior quarter.
In the current quarter, the following items of note increased
non-interest
expenses by $33 million, decreased income taxes by $8 million and decreased net income by $25 million:
•  
$20 million ($15 million
after-tax)
amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets ($13 million

in U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management and $2 million
after-tax
in Corporate and Other); and
•  
$13 million ($10 million

(2)
associated with the acquisition of the Canadian Costco credit card portfolio (Canadian Personal and Business Banking).
Net interest income
(3)
Net interest income was up $293 million or 10% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to volume growth across our businesses.
Net interest income was up $152 million or 5% from the prior quarter, primarily due to volume growth and higher trading income, partially offset by lower treasury revenue.
Non-interest
income
(3)
Non-interest
income was up $242 million or 11% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher
fee-based
revenue driven by higher average AUA and AUM reflecting market appreciation and net sales, higher credit and other fees, and trading income.
Non-interest
income was up $282 million or 14% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher trading income and credit fees.

Trading activities is based on the risk definition of trading for regulatory capital and trading market risk management purposes. Positions in a trading book are considered trading provided the book and positions continue to meet OSFI-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
non-interest
income. Therefore, we view total trading income as the most appropriate measure of trading performance.

Provision for credit losses was $75 million, down $72 million or 49% from the same quarter last year. Provision reversal on performing loans was down $38 million as the same quarter last year included a higher degree of favourable change in the overall economic outlook. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was down $110 million, primarily due to lower net impairments across all SBUs.
Provision for credit losses was comparable with the prior quarter, with a higher provision reversal on performing loans, offset by a higher provision for credit losses on impaired loans.
Non-interest
expenses
Non-interest
expenses were up $297 million or 11% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher employee-related compensation and higher spending on strategic initiatives.
Non-interest
expenses were down $112 million or 4% from the prior quarter, as the prior quarter included a charge related to the consolidation of our real estate portfolio and an increase in legal provisions, both shown as items of note, partially offset by higher performance-based compensation.

  CIBC FIRST QUARTER 2022

Table of Contents
Income taxes
Income tax expense was up $66 million or 14% from the same quarter last year, and up $120 million or 29% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher income.
In prior years, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses (the Enron expenses). In January 2019, CIBC entered into a settlement agreement (the Agreement) with the CRA that provides certainty with respect to the portion of the Enron expenses deductible in Canada. The Agreement resulted in the recognition of a net $38 million tax recovery in the first quarter of 2019. This recovery was determined after taking into account taxable refund interest in Canada and also the portion of the Enron expenses that are expected to be deductible in the United States (the U.S. deduction). The U.S. deduction has not been agreed to by the Internal Revenue Service. It is possible that adjustments may be required to the amount of tax benefits recognized in the U.S.
The CRA has reassessed CIBC for approximately $1,420 million of additional income tax by denying the tax deductibility of certain 2011 to 2016 Canadian corporate dividends on the basis that they were part of a “dividend rental arrangement”. The dividends that were subject to the reassessments are similar to those prospectively addressed by the rules in the 2015 and 2018 Canadian federal budgets. In August 2021, CIBC filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada and the matter is now in litigation. It is possible that subsequent years may be reassessed for similar activities. CIBC is confident that its tax filing positions were appropriate and intends to defend itself vigorously. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the interim consolidated financial statements.
In November 2021, the Tax Court of Canada ruled against CIBC on its 2007 foreign exchange capital loss reassessment (Decision). CIBC disagrees with the Decision and filed its Appeal in November 2021. CIBC remains confident that its tax filing position was appropriate. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the interim consolidated financial statements. The exposure of additional tax and interest related to this and similar matters is approximately $300 million in addition to the potential inability to utilize approximately $500 million in unrecognized capital tax loss carryforwards.

Capital Markets revenue and income taxes are reported on a TEB with an equivalent offset in the revenue and income taxes of Corporate and Other.
Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The second quarter has fewer days as compared with the other quarters, generally leading to lower earnings. The summer months (July – third quarter and August – fourth quarter) typically experience lower levels of market activity, which affects our brokerage, investment management, and Capital Market activities.

Revenue
Revenue in our lending and deposit-taking businesses is generally driven by the interest rate environment, volume growth and fees related to client transaction activity. Our wealth management businesses are driven by market conditions and net sales activity impacting AUA and AUM, as well as the level of client investment activity. Capital Markets revenue is also influenced, to a large extent, by market conditions affecting client trading and underwriting activity. The
COVID-19
pandemic beginning in the second quarter of 2020 and the lower interest rate environment continue to impact revenue for all our SBUs.
Canadian Personal and Business Banking revenue was negatively impacted by the lower interest rate environment and lower client transaction activity as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic earlier in the period, partially offset by volume growth. In recent quarters, revenue has benefitted from an improvement in client activity and continued volume growth.
Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management has benefitted from commercial banking loan and deposit growth as well as from strong markets. In Commercial Banking, loan growth has accelerated throughout fiscal 2021 and into fiscal 2022 as the economic recovery progressed. The benefit from loan and deposit growth has been partially offset by the lower interest rate environment. In Wealth Management, AUA and AUM growth has been driven by strong market performance and record investment sales, although these factors have been somewhat more muted lately due to market volatility experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management has benefitted from strategic client acquisitions that are driving increased loans, deposits, AUM, and fee income. Loan growth has also accelerated due to the economic recovery. Wealth management AUA and AUM growth has been driven by continued market appreciation and strong sales momentum subsequent to the recent market volatility.
Capital Markets had lower trading revenue in the second and fourth quarters of 2020, and the fourth quarter of 2021, while the second and third quarters of 2021 included increased revenue from underwriting and advisory activities. The first quarter of 2022 had higher trading revenue.
Corporate and Other included the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic that led to excess liquidity costs from the second quarter of 2020 to the second quarter of 2021 that negatively impacted revenue. The interest rate environment and narrower margins have negatively impacted revenue in international banking.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses is dependent upon the credit cycle in general, on the credit performance of the loan portfolios, and changes in our economic outlook. As a result of the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic beginning in the second quarter of 2020, some portions of our loan portfolios were negatively impacted by the decline in economic activity associated with restrictive public health measures, mitigated to a large extent by large-scale government support and relief programs targeting both individuals and businesses. Although public health measures in most jurisdictions have eased in response to increasing vaccination rates, and economic recovery is well underway, uncertainty related to the economic environment persists. There continues to be considerable judgment involved in the estimation of credit losses in the current environment.
The significant increase in the provision for credit losses on performing loans in the second quarter and, to a lesser extent, the third and fourth quarters of 2020 reflected the early stages of the
COVID-19
pandemic, which impacted all our SBUs, as well as the impact of continued pressure on oil prices. All four quarters of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 reflect a moderate improvement in economic conditions as well as our economic outlook.
In Canadian Personal and Business Banking, the third and fourth quarters of 2020, the first, third and fourth quarters of 2021, and the first quarter of 2022 included lower insolvencies and write-offs in credit cards. The decrease in insolvencies was in line with the national Canadian trend. The low level of write-offs was impacted by the assistance offered to clients from our payment deferral programs, lower client spending as well as government support. The second quarter of 2021 included higher write-offs in credit cards, mainly attributable to a relatively small segment of client balances that were previously in the payment deferral programs, that continued to underperform and eventually were written off after exiting the programs.
In Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, the first quarter and the second half of 2020 included provisions on one fraud-related impairment.
In U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, the first quarter of 2021 and the second half of 2020 included higher provisions on impaired loans.
In Capital Markets, the second and third quarters of 2020 included higher provisions on impaired loans in the oil and gas sector.
In Corporate and Other, the third quarter of 2021 included higher provisions on impaired loans in CIBC FirstCaribbean.
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 second and fourth quarters of 2020 included goodwill impairment charges related to our controlling interest in CIBC FirstCaribbean. The third quarter of 2020 and the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2021 included increases in legal provisions in Corporate and Other, all shown as items of note. The fourth quarter of 2020 and the fourth quarter of 2021 included charges related to the consolidation of our real estate portfolio as a result of our move to our new global headquarters. The fourth quarter of 2020 included a gain as a result of plan amendments related to pension and other post-employment plans.
Income taxes
Income taxes vary with changes in income subject to tax, and the jurisdictions in which the income is earned. Taxes can also be affected by the impact of significant items and the level of
tax-exempt
income.

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 31 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 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 ROE.
Adjusted effective tax rate
We adjust our reported income before income taxes and reported income taxes to remove the impact of items of note, to calculate the adjusted effective tax rate.
Pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings
Pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings is calculated as revenue net of
non-interest
expenses, and provides the reader with an assessment of our ability to generate earnings to cover credit losses through the credit cycle, as well as an additional basis for comparing underlying business performance between periods by excluding the impact of provision for credit losses, which involves the application of judgments and estimates related to matters that are uncertain and can vary significantly between periods. We adjust our
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings to remove the impact of items of note to calculate the adjusted
pre-provision,
pre-tax
earnings. As discussed above, we believe that adjusted measures provide the reader with a better understanding of how management assesses underlying business performance and facilitates a more informed analysis of trends.
Allocated common equity
Common equity is allocated to the SBUs based on the estimated amount of regulatory capital required to support their businesses (as determined for the consolidated bank pursuant to OSFI’s regulatory capital requirements and internal targets). Unallocated common equity is reported in Corporate and Other. Allocating capital on this basis provides a consistent framework to evaluate the returns of each SBU commensurate with the risk assumed. In the first quarter of 2022, we increased the common equity allocated to our SBUs to 11% of common equity Tier 1 capital requirements for each SBU, reflecting an increase from 10% in 2021. 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. In the first quarter of 2022, we increased the common equity allocated to our SBUs, as noted above.

Strategic business units overview
CIBC has four SBUs – Canadian Personal and Business Banking, Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management, and Capital Markets. These SBUs are supported by the following functional groups – Technology, Infrastructure and Innovation, Risk Management, People, Culture and Brand, Finance and Enterprise Strategy, as well as other support groups, which all are included within Corporate and Other. The expenses of these functional and support groups are generally allocated to the business lines within the SBUs.

Assets
As at January 31, 2022, total assets were up $24.0 billion or 3% from October 31, 2021, of which approximately $7 billion was due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar.
Cash and deposits with banks decreased by $13.6 billion or 24%, primarily due to lower short-term placements in Treasury.
Securities increased by $17.6 billion or 11%, primarily due to increases in U.S. treasury, corporate equity and debt securities in Canadian governments, partially offset by decreases in corporate debt.
Securities borrowed and purchased under resale agreements increased by $1.1 billion or 1%, primarily due to client-driven activities.
Loans and acceptances, net of allowance, increased by $20.5 billion or 4%, primarily due to increases in U.S. business and government loans which included the impact of foreign exchange translation, and increases in Canadian residential mortgages and business and government loans.
Derivative instruments decreased by $2.8 billion or 8%, largely driven by decreases in foreign exchange and equity derivatives valuation.
Other assets increased by $1.2 billion or 3%, primarily due to increases in precious metals and tax receivables, partially offset by lower collateral pledged for derivatives.
Liabilities
As at January 31, 2022, total liabilities were up $22.5 billion or 3% from October 31, 2021, of which approximately $7 billion was due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar.
Deposits increased by $28.6 billion or 5%, primarily due to increased wholesale funding and domestic retail volume growth. Further details on the composition of deposits are provided in Note 7 to our interim consolidated financial statements.
Obligations related to securities lent, sold short and under repurchase agreements decreased by $3.2 billion or 3%, primarily due to client-driven activities.
Derivative instruments decreased by $2.9 billion or 9%, largely driven by decreases in foreign exchange and equity derivatives valuation.
Equity
As at January 31, 2022, equity increased by $1.5 billion or 3% from October 31, 2021, primarily due to a net increase in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income.

Capital management
We actively manage our capital to maintain a strong and efficient capital base that provides balance sheet strength, enables our businesses to grow and execute on our strategy, and meets regulatory requirements. For additional details on capital management, see pages 32 to 42 of our 2021 Annual Report.
Regulatory capital 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. 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.
(2)
In response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, OSFI has provided regulatory flexibility by implementing transitional arrangements for the treatment of expected loss provisioning, such that part of the allowances that would otherwise be included in Tier 2 capital will instead qualify for inclusion in CET1 capital subject to certain scalars and limitations until the end of fiscal 2022. See the “Continuous enhancement to regulatory capital requirements” section for additional details.
Qualifying regulatory capital instruments must be capable of absorbing loss at the point of
non-viability
of the financial institution.
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 2.5% but can range from 0% to 2.5% of RWA. Additionally, banks need to hold an incremental countercyclical capital buffer equal to their weighted-average buffer requirement in Canada and across certain other jurisdictions where they have private sector credit exposures. OSFI’s current targets are summarized below:

The countercyclical capital buffer applicable to CIBC is insignificant as at January 31, 2022.

On December 10, 2021, OSFI announced the DSB will remain at 2.5% of total RWA. This level remains unchanged from October 31, 2021.
Capital adequacy requirements are applied on a consolidated basis consistent with our financial statements, except for our insurance subsidiaries (CIBC Cayman Reinsurance Limited and CIBC Life Insurance Company Limited), which are excluded from the regulatory scope of consolidation. The basis of consolidation applied to our financial statements is described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report. CIBC Life Insurance Company Limited is subject to OSFI’s Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test.

Continuous enhancement to regulatory capital 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, as well as to respond to changes in market conditions as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, with the overall objective of enhancing financial stability (see page 35 of our 2021 Annual Report). The discussion below provides a summary of BCBS and OSFI publications that have been issued since our 2021 Annual Report and transitional arrangements in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
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. The implementation date for these changes is the second quarter of 2023, with the exceptions of revisions to the CVA and market risk frameworks, which is the first quarter of 2024. The revisions to the LAR Guideline will be implemented as of April 1, 2023. Primary changes include:
•  
Revisions to both the internal ratings-based (IRB) approach and standardized approach to credit risk;
•  
Revised operational, 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 phase-in 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 D-SIBs; and
•  
Enhancements to the LAR Guideline, including changes to net cumulative cash flow (NCCF) requirements.
OSFI also announced revised existing Pillar 3 disclosure to be implemented in the second quarter of 2023 and new Pillar 3 disclosure to be implemented in the fourth quarter of 2023 for D-SIBs.
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 has not adopted the related changes and currently requires implementation of the 2019 market risk framework in the first quarter of 2024.
Transitional arrangements for the capital treatment of expected loss provisioning
In response to the
COVID-19
pandemic, OSFI introduced transitional arrangements for ECL provisioning that are available under the Basel Framework. These transitional arrangements were effective immediately upon being announced by OSFI on March 27, 2020 and 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 decreases 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 otherwise eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 capital is included as CET1 capital under the transitional arrangements.
Capital treatment of federal program supporting highly affected sectors
On January 27, 2021, OSFI provided direction on the capital treatment of the government-guaranteed loans made under the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program loan guarantee program. Pursuant to this direction, the loans are considered sovereign risk based on the BDC guarantee, and the relevant risk weight under the CAR Guideline is applied accordingly. The entire amount of the loan is included in the exposure measure used for calculating the leverage ratio.
We continue to monitor and prepare for developments impacting regulatory capital requirements and disclosures.

Includes the impact of the ECL transitional arrangement announced by OSFI on March 27, 2020 in response to the onset of the
COVID-19
pandemic. The transitional arrangement results in a portion of ECL allowances that would otherwise be included in Tier 2 capital qualifying for inclusion in CET1 capital. The amount is subject to certain scalars and limitations until the end of fiscal 2022.
CET1 ratio
The CET1 ratio at January 31, 2022 decreased 0.2% from October 31, 2021, driven by the impact of an increase in RWA, partially offset by the increase in CET1 capital.
The increase in CET1 capital was primarily the result of internal capital generation (net income less dividends) and an increase in AOCI. The increase in RWA was primarily due to increases in book size, the impact of foreign exchange translation and increased operational risk levels, partially offset by improved credit quality.

Table of Contents
Tier 1 capital ratio
The Tier 1 capital ratio at January 31, 2022 decreased 0.3% from October 31, 2021, primarily due to the factors affecting the CET1 ratio noted above.
Total capital ratio
The Total capital ratio at January 31, 2022 decreased 0.5% from October 31, 2021, primarily due to the factors affecting the Tier 1 capital ratio noted above and the phase-out of
non-qualifying
capital instruments.
Leverage ratio
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).
OSFI expects federally regulated deposit-taking institutions to have leverage ratios that meet or exceed 3.0%. This minimum may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion.

The temporary exclusion of qualifying sovereign-issued securities from the leverage ratio exposure measure in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was no longer applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2022. Central bank reserves continue to be excluded from the measure.
The leverage ratio at January 31, 2022 decreased 0.4% from October 31, 2021, 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 reversal of the temporary exclusion of qualifying sovereign-issued securities from the exposure measure and an increase in
on-balance
sheet exposures.
Total loss absorbing capacity requirements
OSFI also requires D-SIBs to maintain a supervisory target total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) ratio (which builds on the risk-based capital ratios) and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio (which builds on the leverage ratio).
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. TLAC is defined as the aggregate of total capital and other TLAC instruments primarily comprised of bail-in eligible instruments with residual maturity greater than 365 days.
OSFI expects D-SIBs to have a minimum risk-based TLAC ratio of 21.5% plus the then applicable DSB requirement (2.5% as noted above), and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio of 6.75%, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Significant capital management activity
On March 13, 2020, following the onset of the
COVID-19
pandemic, OSFI imposed temporary measures on federally regulated financial institutions to cease dividend increases and share buybacks in order to ensure that the additional capital available is used to support Canadian lending activities. The temporary measures were lifted by OSFI effective November 4, 2021. The following were the main capital initiatives undertaken in 2022:
Normal course issuer bid
On December 9, 2021, we announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange had accepted the notice of our intention to commence a normal course issuer bid. Purchases under this bid will be completed upon the earlier of: (i) CIBC purchasing 10 million common shares; (ii) CIBC providing a notice of termination; or (iii) December 12, 2022. 900,000 common shares have been purchased and cancelled during the quarter at an average price of $148.86 for a total amount of $134 million.
Employee share purchase plan
Pursuant to the employee share purchase plan, we issued 266,370 common shares for consideration of $40 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2022.
Shareholder investment plan
Pursuant to the shareholder investment plan, we issued 226,515 common shares for consideration of $36 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2022.
Share split
In February 2022, CIBC’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one share split of CIBC’s issued and outstanding common shares to be effected through an amendment to CIBC’s by-laws. See Note 8 of our interim consolidated financial statements for details.

Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, each share is convertible into a number of common shares, determined by dividing the par value of $25.00 plus declared and unpaid dividends by the average common share price (as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement) subject to a minimum price per share (subject to adjustment in certain events as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement). Preferred shareholders do not have the right to convert their shares into common shares.
(2)
The maximum number of common shares issuable on conversion excludes the impact of declared but unpaid dividends and accrued interest.
(3)
Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Series 53 and 54 Preferred Shares held in the Limited Recourse Trust in support of the limited recourse capital notes are convertible into a number of common shares, determined by dividing the par value of $1,000 by the average common share price (as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement) subject to a minimum price per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement).
(4)
Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, the Debentures are convertible into a number of common shares, determined by dividing 150% of the par value plus accrued and unpaid interest by the average common share price (as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement) subject to a minimum price per common share (subject to adjustment in certain events as defined in the relevant prospectus supplement).
n/a
Not applicable.
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 84% based on the number of CIBC common shares outstanding as at January 31, 2022. 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 January 31, 2022, $38.2 billion (October 31, 2021: $32.6 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 “Total loss absorbing capacity requirements” section for further details.

Global systemically important banks – public disclosure requirements
On August 13, 2021, OSFI issued revisions to its Advisory: “Global systemically important banks – Public disclosure requirements”. These revisions address changes to the annual disclosure requirements included in the BCBS’s updated global systemically important banks
(G-SIB)
assessment methodology, as well as providing further guidance on the availability of publicly disclosed
G-SIB
indicators, and the nature of qualitative information to accompany the disclosures. An additional thirteenth indicator, trading volume, that reflects banks’ activities in the secondary market, was added to the assessment, and is now required to be disclosed. Federally regulated banks that have leverage ratio exposure measures greater than the equivalent of
€
200 billion at
year-end
are required to publicly disclose at a minimum the 13 indicators (in Canadian equivalent values) annually. CIBC is a federally regulated bank but has not been identified as a
G-SIB.
The indicators are calculated based on specific instructions issued by the BCBS, which are updated annually, and in accordance with regulatory scope of consolidation. As a result, values may not be directly comparable against other measures disclosed in the interim consolidated financial statements.
The following disclosures are required by OSFI pursuant to the Advisory: “Global systemically important banks – Public disclosure requirements”.
The following table provides the 13 indicators used in the BCBS assessment methodology to identify
G-SIBs:

n/a
Not applicable. New indicator added for disclosure this year.
Changes in
G-SIB
measures
Changes in measures compared with 2020 primarily reflect normal changes in business activity and movement in foreign exchange rates.
A. Cross-jurisdictional activity
The objective of this section is to measure a bank’s global footprint – i.e., the importance of a bank’s activities outside its home jurisdiction. The concept underlying this section is that the global impact of a bank’s distress or failure varies in line with its share of cross-jurisdictional assets and liabilities.
B. Size
Size is a key measure of a bank’s systemic importance as a bank’s distress or failure is more likely to damage the global economy or financial markets if its activities comprise a large share of global activity.
C. Interconnectedness
Financial distress at one institution can materially increase the likelihood of distress at other institutions given the network of contractual obligations in which these firms operate. A bank’s systemic impact is likely to be positively related to its interconnectedness with other financial institutions.
D. Substitutability/financial institution infrastructure
The objective of this section is to measure the extent to which a bank provides financial institution infrastructure. The concept underlying this section is that the greater a bank’s role in a particular business line, or as a service provider in underlying market infrastructure (e.g., payment systems), the larger the disruption will likely be in the event of its failure, in terms of both service gaps (including the cost to a failed bank’s clients of having to seek the same service from another bank) and reduced flow of market and infrastructure liquidity.
E. Complexity
The systemic impact of a bank’s distress or failure is expected to be positively related to its overall complexity – i.e., its business, structural and operational complexity. The more complex a bank is, the greater the costs and time needed to resolve the bank.

Management of risk
Our approach to management of risk has not changed significantly from that described on pages 43 to 82 of our 2021 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 and functional group-level 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 SBUs and functional groups own the risks and are accountable and responsible for identifying and assessing risks inherent in their activities in accordance with the CIBC risk appetite. In addition, they establish and maintain controls to mitigate such risks. The first line of defence may include governance groups within the relevant area to facilitate the control framework and other risk-related processes. Control groups provide subject matter expertise to the business lines and/or implement and maintain enterprise-wide control programs and activities. While control groups collaborate with the lines of business 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 or rely on subject matter expertise of other groups (e.g., third parties or control groups) to better inform their independent assessments, as appropriate.
(iii)
As the third line of defence, CIBC’s internal audit function provides reasonable assurance to senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the Board) on the effectiveness of CIBC’s governance practices, risk management processes, and internal controls 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
geo-political
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 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 50 to 53 of our 2021 Annual Report for details regarding the following top and emerging risks:
•
 
Climate risk
•
 
Canadian consumer debt and the housing market
•
 
Technology, information and cyber security risk
•
 
Disintermediation risk
•
 
Third
-
party risk
•
 
Anti-money laundering
•
 
U.S. banking regulation
•
 
Tax reform
•
 
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 2021 Annual Report, as well as regulatory and accounting developments that are material for CIBC.

Pandemic outbreaks
The
COVID-19
pandemic continues to disrupt the global economy, financial markets, supply chains and business productivity in unprecedented and unpredictable ways. While rising vaccination rates have supported a significant easing of restrictions imposed by governments around the world, progress towards full reopening has been hindered by new and emerging variants of the virus, which have led to the temporary reimposition of restrictions. These factors, combined with continued vaccine hesitancy, remain a threat to the economic recovery. Our outlook continues to assume that targeted health measures rather than broader economic closures will be used to contain new waves of infection.
Future developments, such as the severity and duration of the pandemic, the emergence and progression of new variants, and actions taken by governments, monetary authorities, regulators, financial institutions and other third parties in response to a resurgence of cases, continue to impact our outlook.
A substantial amount of our business involves extending credit or otherwise providing financial resources to individuals, companies, industries or governments that may have been adversely impacted by the pandemic, hindering their ability to meet original loan terms and potentially impacting their ability to repay their loans. While our estimate of ECL on performing loans considers the likelihood and extent of future defaults and impairments, given the inherent uncertainty caused by
COVID-19,
actual experience may differ materially from our current estimates. To the extent that business activity or unemployment do not continue to improve in line with our expectations due to the impact of the new and emerging variants, or clients default on loans beyond our current expectations, we may recognize further credit losses beyond those reflected in the current year’s ECL allowances. The effectiveness of various government support programs in place for individuals and businesses as well as the efficacy of vaccines in controlling new and emerging variants also impact our expectations. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions, we may be required to recognize losses, impairments, or reductions in other comprehensive income (OCI) in future periods relating to other assets that we hold.
Net interest income is significantly impacted by market interest rates. A key driver of these market dynamics is central bank monetary policy and expectations of forthcoming rate increases. In January, both the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve reaffirmed guidance that rate increases are expected in 2022 (see the “Economic Outlook” section for further discussion on interest rate expectations).
Governments, monetary authorities, regulators and financial institutions have also taken actions to support the economy, increase liquidity, mitigate unemployment, provide temporary financial assistance and regulatory flexibility, and implement other measures intended to mitigate or counterbalance the adverse economic consequences of the pandemic. We will continue to work with regulators and governments across the jurisdictions in which we operate, as required, to support and facilitate government programs assisting our clients.
We continue to adapt our operating model with a focus on the ongoing safety of our team members, including those working on-site since the start of the pandemic. We have a thoughtful plan to return our team members who are currently working remotely to the office when the time is right, depending on the evolving pandemic and public health guidance.
Relevant operational risk metrics continue to track at an acceptable level. Operational resilience and sustainability remain our key areas of focus, given the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to monitor our risk posture and trends to ensure operational risks are managed appropriately and in a timely manner.
If the
COVID-19
pandemic is prolonged beyond our expectations, or if further variants continue to emerge that give rise to similar effects that vaccines are not able to effectively mitigate in a timely manner and if broader economic closures are reinstated to address future waves of infection, the impact on the economy and financial markets could deepen and result in further volatility. Unexpected developments in financial markets, regulatory environments, or consumer behaviour and confidence may have additional adverse impacts on our business, results of operations, reputation and financial condition.
Geo-political
 
risk
The level of
 
geo-political
 
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.
 
Geo-political
 
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:
•
 
Global uncertainty and market repercussions pertaining to the spread of
 
COVID-19
 
as discussed above;
•
 
Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine;
•
 
Rising civil unrest and activism globally;
•
 
Ongoing U.S., Canada and China relations and trade issues;
•
 
Implications of the U.S. “Buy American” policy;
•
 
Relations between the U.S. and Iran;
•
 
Tensions in the Middle East; and
•
 
Concerns following the agreed-upon Brexit deal.
While it is impossible to predict where new
 
geo-political
 
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.

Commodity prices
Over the past quarter, we have observed continued volatility in energy markets, with natural gas prices remaining elevated, particularly in Europe, and a renewed rally in oil prices as West Texas Intermediate crude oil has exceeded US$90 per barrel. Winter temperatures in North America have thus far been slightly warmer than average, helping avoid a further spike in natural gas prices. However, demand and supply fundamentals remain such that continued upward price pressure on energy prices is likely. Global demand is strong with economies emerging from pandemic-related lockdowns, while supply disruptions continue to impact inventory levels. Mounting geo-political tensions with Russia, and the possibility of resulting sanctions, may serve to further compound supply constraints in the near term. Clients in our oil and gas portfolio continue to be assessed on the basis of our enhanced risk metrics that reflect the current environment.

Interbank Offered Rate transition
Interest rate benchmarks including the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other similar benchmarks, are being reformed and replaced by new risk-free rates (RFRs) that are largely based on traded markets. The United Kingdom’s (U.K.’s) Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) originally announced in July 2017 that it would not compel banks to submit LIBOR rates beyond 2021. Consistent with this announcement, as of December 31, 2021 a formal cessation of GBP, EUR, JPY and CHF LIBORs occurred, with fallback to the replacement RFRs triggered. In addition, trading of USD LIBOR has been curtailed in advance of its forthcoming cessation in June 2023. This marks a significant milestone on the part of the industry in its transition away from LIBOR as the reference rate underpinning a large volume of loan, derivative and cash products globally. We continue to monitor industry developments in this space and have also implemented controls to ensure new USD LIBOR trades are for permitted purposes only during this transition. Furthermore, in December 2021 the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate working group (CARR) recommended that the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (CDOR) should cease calculation and publication by June 2024 with the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA) suggested as the replacement benchmark rate. A consultation phase with industry stakeholders regarding this recommendation has been commenced by CDOR’s administrator.

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.

Forbearance policy
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. Under these circumstances, 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 comprises residential mortgages, and personal loans and lines secured by residential property. This portfolio is low risk, 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.

We have two types of condominium exposures in Canada: mortgages and developer loans. Both are primarily concentrated in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. As at January 31, 2022, our Canadian condominium mortgages were $35.8 billion (October 31, 2021: $34.7 billion) of which 23% (October 31, 2021: 24%) were insured. Our drawn developer loans were $1.2 billion (October 31, 2021: $1.1 billion) or 0.7% (October 31, 2021: 0.7%) of our business and government portfolio, and our related undrawn exposure was $5.0 billion (October 31, 2021: $4.9 billion). The condominium developer exposure is diversified across 102 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, and also incorporate the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Our results show that in an economic downturn, our strong 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.
 
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 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report. Our repo-style transactions consist of our securities bought or sold under repurchase agreements, and our securities borrowing and lending activity.

CIBC FIRST QUARTER 2022

Table of Contents
Gross impaired loans
As at January 31, 2022, gross impaired loans were $1,900 million, down $555 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to decreases in the Canadian residential mortgages portfolio, the real estate and construction, oil and gas, and retail and wholesale sectors, partially offset by an increase in the capital goods manufacturing sector.
Gross impaired loans were up $67 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in the capital goods manufacturing sector and the impact of foreign exchange translation.
52% 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 utilities sectors accounted for the majority.
27% of gross impaired loans related to the U.S., of which the real estate and construction, capital goods manufacturing and financial institutions 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 real estate and construction sectors accounted for the majority.
Allowance for credit losses – impaired loans
Allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was $796 million, down $156 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to decreases in the business services, oil and gas, real estate and construction, and the retail and wholesale sectors, partially offset by increases in CIBC FirstCaribbean and the capital goods manufacturing sector.
Allowance for credit losses on impaired loans was up $24 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in the capital goods manufacturing sector.
 
Loans contractually past due but not impaired
The following table provides an aging analysis of loans that are not impaired, where repayment of principal or payment of interest is contractually in arrears. Loans less than 30 days past due are excluded as such loans are not generally indicative of the borrowers’ ability to meet their payment obligations.

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.

Total VaR is less than the sum of the VaR of the different market risk types due to risk offsets resulting from a portfolio diversification effect.
n/m
Not meaningful. It is not meaningful to compute a diversification effect because the high and low may occur on different days for different risk types.
Average total VaR for the three months ended January 31, 2022 was up $0.7 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by a decrease in diversification benefit and an increase in foreign exchange risk, partially offset by decreases in equity and debt specific risks.
Average stressed total VaR for the three months ended January 31, 2022 was up $3.3 million from the prior quarter, driven by increases in equity and foreign exchange risks, partially offset by an increase in diversification benefit and a decrease in interest rate risk. 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 January 31, 2022 was down $66.0 million from the prior quarter, due to a better rated and smaller bond inventory.

Trading revenue
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 100% of the days. Average daily trading revenue (TEB) was $9.0 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.

Structural interest rate risk
Structural interest rate risk (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
re-pricing
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 points increase and 25 basis points decrease in interest rates on projected
12-month
net interest income and economic value of equity (EVE) for our structural balance sheet, assuming no subsequent hedging. While an immediate and sustained shock of 100 basis points is typically applied, and notwithstanding the possibility of negative rates, due to the low interest rate environment in both Canada and the U.S
.,
an immediate downward shock of 25 basis points was applied while maintaining a floor on market and client interest rates at zero.

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:

Asset haircuts and monetization depth assumptions under a liquidity stress scenario are applied to determine asset liquidity value. Haircuts take into consideration those margins applicable at central banks – such as the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank – historical observations, and securities characteristics including asset type, issuer, credit ratings, currency and remaining term to maturity, as well as available regulatory guidance.
Our unencumbered liquid assets increased by $6 billion since October 31, 2021, primarily due to higher liquid securities holdings, partially offset by a decrease in cash positions.
Furthermore, we maintain access eligibility to the Bank of Canada’s Emergency Lending Assistance program and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank’s Discount Window.

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 January 31, 2022 decreased to 123% from 127% in the prior quarter, mainly due to an increase in lending, partially offset by deposit and funding growth.
Net stable funding ratio
Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s LAR Guideline, the NSFR standard aims to promote long-term resilience of the financial sector by requiring banks to maintain a sustainable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and
off-balance
sheet activities. Canadian
D-SIBs
are required to maintain a minimum NSFR value of 100% on a consolidated bank basis. CIBC is in compliance with this requirement.
In accordance with the calibration methodology contained in OSFI’s LAR Guideline, we report the NSFR to OSFI on a quarterly basis. The ratio is calculated as total available stable funding (ASF) over the total required stable funding (RSF).
The numerator consists of the portion of capital and liabilities considered reliable over a
one-year
time horizon. The NSFR considers longer-term sources of funding to be more stable than short-term funding and deposits from retail and commercial customers to be behaviourally more stable than wholesale funding of the same maturity. In accordance with our funding strategy, key drivers of our ASF include client deposits supplemented by secured and unsecured wholesale funding, and capital instruments.
The denominator represents the amount of stable funding required based on the OSFI-defined liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of assets and
off-balance
sheet exposures. The NSFR ascribes varying degrees of RSF such that HQLA and short-term exposures are assumed to have a lower funding requirement than less liquid and longer-term exposures. Our RSF is largely driven by retail, commercial and corporate lending, investments in liquid assets, derivative exposures, and undrawn lines of credit and liquidity.
The ASF and RSF may be adjusted to zero for certain liabilities and assets that are determined to be interdependent if they meet the NSFR-defined criteria, which take into account the purpose, amount, cash flows, tenor and counterparties among other aspects to ensure the institution is acting solely as a pass-through unit for the underlying transactions. We report, where applicable, interdependent assets and liabilities arising from transactions OSFI has designated as eligible for such treatment in the LAR Guideline.

Our NSFR as at January 31, 2022 decreased to 116% from 118% in the prior quarter, due to an increase in loans in line with strategic business growth, largely offset by an increase in long-term funding and deposits.
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

We fund our operations with client-sourced deposits, supplemented with a wide range of wholesale funding.
Our principal approach aims to fund its 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.
On February 22, 2022, S&P announced the following updates to our credit ratings: senior debt to A- from BBB+; subordinated indebtedness to A- from BBB+; subordinated indebtedness – NVCC to BBB+ from BBB; limited recourse capital notes – NVCC to BBB- from BB+; preferred shares – NVCC to P-2(L) from P-3(H). These rating revisions reflect S&P’s views on improvements in our risk position.
Our credit ratings are summarized in the following table:

Obligations that are legally binding agreements whereby we agree to purchase products or services with specific minimum or baseline quantities defined at fixed, minimum or variable prices over a specified period of time are defined as purchase obligations. Purchase obligations are included through to the termination date specified in the respective agreements, even if the contract is renewable. Many of the purchase agreements for goods and services include clauses that would allow us to cancel the agreement prior to expiration of the contract within a specific notice period. However, the amount above includes our obligations without regard to such termination clauses (unless actual notice of our intention to terminate the agreement has been communicated to the counterparty). The table excludes purchases of debt and equity instruments that settle within standard market time frames.
(2)
Excludes lease obligations that are accounted for under IFRS 16, which are typically recognized on the consolidated balance sheet, and operating and tax expenses relating to lease commitments. The table includes lease obligations that are not accounted for under IFRS 16, including those related to future starting lease commitments for which we have not yet recognized a lease liability and
right-of-use
asset.
(3)
Includes estimated minimum funding contributions for our funded defined benefit pension plans in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and the Caribbean. Estimated minimum funding contributions are included only for the remaining annual period ending October 31, 2022 as the minimum contributions are affected by various factors, such as market performance and regulatory requirements, and therefore are subject to significant variability.
Other risks
We also have policies and processes to measure, monitor and control other risks, including strategic, reputation, environmental and social, and operational risks, such as insurance, technology, information and cyber security, and regulatory compliance. These risks and related policies and processes have not changed significantly from those described on pages 79 to 82 of our 2021 Annual Report.

Accounting and control matters
Critical accounting policies and estimates
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” using IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 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, 2021.
Certain accounting policies require us to make judgments and estimates, some of which relate to matters that are uncertain. The
COVID-19
pandemic continues to result in increased level of judgment as discussed on pages 83 to 88 of our 2021 Annual Report, and could have a material impact on our financial results. 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 6 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 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, including the impact of
COVID-19.
Accounting developments
For details on future accounting policy changes, refer to Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report.
Other regulatory developments
Reforms to interest rate benchmarks
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. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) originally announced in July 2017 that it would not compel banks to submit LIBOR rates after December 2021. In March 2021, the FCA and the ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) announced that the date for the cessation for GBP, EUR, CHF and JPY LIBORs will be on December 31, 2021, and that the cessation date for most USD LIBOR tenors will be on June 30, 2023. This announcement results in a fixed spread between the LIBOR rate and the alternative rate for a given tenor which applies on the cessation of the relevant LIBOR rates. The extension for most USD LIBOR tenors until June 30, 2023, is intended to allow for many legacy contracts to mature before the cessation date, although originations of new USD LIBOR linked products have largely ceased after the end of 2021.
In December 2021, the Canadian Alternative Reference Rate working group (CARR) recommended to Refinitiv Benchmark Services (UK) Limited (RBSL), the Canadian Offered Dollar Rate (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 Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (CORRA). The decision to cease CDOR remains with RBSL, and CARR’s recommendation does not constitute a public statement or publication of information that CDOR has ceased or will cease. RBSL has initiated a consultation process with industry stakeholders inviting feedback on the recommendations from CARR.
The transition from current reference rates to alternative rates represents a number of risks to CIBC, and the industry as a whole. 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 FCA in March 2021. In response to the proposed reforms to interest rate benchmarks, we 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.
As a part of the Program, we have substantially completed the remediation of our non-USD LIBOR referenced contracts in a manner that is consistent with regulatory expectations. As a result, the FCA’s announcement in January 2022 that the LIBOR benchmark administrator will continue to publish certain sterling and Japanese yen LIBOR settings on a non-representative synthetic basis during 2022, which would allow certain legacy contracts to continue to use certain LIBOR settings for a limited period after the cessation date, will not materially affect our transition.
Consistent with regulatory expectations, no new USD LIBOR products were originated after December 31, 2021, with limited permitted exceptions during the transition. We are in the process of transitioning our existing USD LIBOR based contracts to those that reference the new Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and have developed business processes to support the transition. As part of this, we continue to engage with industry associations on ongoing developments, and continue to incorporate recent developments into our project plan. We are also closely monitoring developments related to the potential transition of CDOR to CORRA.
The Program provides regular updates to senior management, including the Executive Committee, and the Board.
Controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures

Based on that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in CIBC’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Related-party transactions
There have been no significant changes to CIBC’s procedures and policies regarding related-party transactions since October 31, 2021. For additional information, refer to pages 90 and 190 of our 2021 Annual Report.

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, 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, AUM amounts are included in the amounts reported under AUA.
Assets under management (AUM)

Risk and capital glossary
Advanced internal ratings-based (AIRB) approach for credit risk
Internal models based on historical experience of key risk assumptions such as PD, LGD and EAD are used to compute the capital requirements subject to the OSFI approval. A capital floor based on the standardized approach is also calculated by banks under the AIRB approach for credit risk and an adjustment to RWA may be required as prescribed by OSFI.
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 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
CET1, Tier 1 and total regulatory capital, divided by RWA, as defined by OSFI’s Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline, which is based on Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) standards.
Corporate exposures
All direct credit risk exposures to corporations, partnerships and proprietorships, and exposures guaranteed by those entities.
Credit risk
The risk of financial loss due to a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its obligations in accordance with contractual terms.
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.
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.
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)
A framework and process designed to provide a comprehensive view on capital adequacy, as defined by Pillar II of the Basel Accord, wherein we identify and measure our risks on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that the capital available is sufficient to cover all risks across CIBC.
Internal models approach (IMA) for market risk
Models, which have been developed by CIBC and approved by OSFI, for the measurement of risk and regulatory capital in the trading portfolio for general market risk, debt specific risk, and equity specific risk.
Internal model method (IMM) for counterparty credit risk (CCR)
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 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, forward asset purchases, standby/trade letters of credit and securitization exposures). The temporary exclusion of qualifying sovereign-issued securities from the leverage ratio exposure measure announced by OSFI in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was no longer applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2022. OSFI continues to permit exposures arising from central bank reserves that qualify as High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) to be excluded from the exposure measure for leverage ratio purposes.
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 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 financial loss in our trading and
non-trading
portfolios from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity market prices, commodity prices, credit spreads and customer behaviour for retail products.
Master netting agreement
An industry standard agreement designed to reduce the credit risk of multiple transactions with a counterparty through the creation of a legal right of offset of exposures in the event of a default by that counterparty and through the provision for net settlement of all contracts through a single payment.
Net cumulative cash flow (NCCF)
The NCCF is a liquidity horizon metric defined under OSFI’s LAR Guideline as a monitoring and supervision tool for liquidity risk that measures an institution’s detailed cash flows in order to capture the risk posed by funding mismatches between assets and liabilities.
Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)
Derived from the BCBS’s Basel III framework and incorporated into OSFI’s LAR Guideline, the NSFR standard aims to promote long-term resilience of the financial sector by requiring banks to maintain a sustainable stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and
off-balance
sheet activities.
Non-viability
contingent capital (NVCC)
Effective January 1, 2013, in order to qualify for inclusion in regulatory capital, all
non-common
Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments must be capable of absorbing losses at the point of
non-viability
of a financial institution. This will ensure that investors in such instruments bear losses before taxpayers where the government determines that it is in the public interest to rescue a
non-viable
bank.
Operational risk
The risk of loss resulting from people, inadequate or failed internal processes and systems, or from external events.
Other
off-balance
sheet exposure
The amount of credit risk exposure resulting from the issuance of guarantees and letters of credit.
Other retail
This exposure class includes all loans other than qualifying revolving retail and real estate secured personal lending that are extended to individuals and small businesses 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.

Table of Contents
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. On March 27, 2020, OSFI introduced transitional arrangements for the capital treatment of expected loss provisioning, such that part of the allowances that would otherwise be included in Tier 2 capital will instead qualify for inclusion in CET1 capital subject to certain scalars and limitations until the end of fiscal year 2022. 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 AIRB and standardized approaches, (ii) RWA for market risk, and (iii) RWA for operational risk. The AIRB 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.
Sovereign exposures
All direct credit risk exposures to governments, central banks and certain public sector entities, and exposures guaranteed by those entities.
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
Capital is based on prescribed percentages that vary by business activity and is applied to the three-year average gross income.
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 due to the failure of organic growth initiatives or failure to respond appropriately to changes in the business environment.

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 primarily consists of the risk 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.
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, 2021.
All amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 24, 2022.
Note 1.    Changes in accounting policies
Future accounting policy changes
For details on future accounting policy changes, refer to Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of standards that are effective for us after fiscal 2022.
Note 2.    Impact of
COVID-19
Global economic activity had improved heading into 2022, although the pandemic, fueled by more contagious variants, continues to pose a risk to the recovery. Additional restrictions imposed by governments around the world to limit the impact of the infection negatively impacted the economic recovery. The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately depend on vaccine adoption rates and the extent to which the vaccines will be effective at controlling both existing and emerging variants of the virus, and the ability of governments, businesses and health-care systems to effectively limit the current and future resurgences of the virus, including its variants, without resorting to broad economic closures. As a result, we continue to operate in an uncertain macroeconomic environment.
Impact on estimates and assumptions
As disclosed in our 2021 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.
Further, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to give 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. This particularly impacts estimates and assumptions relating to the allowance for credit losses.
During the three months ended January 31, 2022, improvements in our economic outlook resulted in a moderate reduction in our stage 1 and stage 2 performing expected credit losses (ECLs). Significant judgment continued to be inherent in the forecasting of forward-looking information, including with regard to our base case assumption that the vaccination programs will be able to effectively respond to the new and emerging variants and that government will respond to future waves of the virus with targeted health measures rather than broader economic closures.
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. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 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, including the impact of COVID-19.

(4)
Comprises deposits designated at FVTPL of $20,259 million (October 31, 2021: $18,530
 million), net bifurcated embedded derivative liabilities of 
$830
 million (October 31, 2021: 
$750
 million), other liabilities designated at FVTPL of 
$26
 million (October 31, 2021: 
$51
 million), and other financial liabilities measured at fair value of 
$112
 million (October 31, 2021: 
$113
 million). 
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 January 31, 2022, we transferred
$567
 million of securities mandatorily measured at FVTPL from Level 1 to Level 2, $
5,514
 million of securities sold short from Level 1 to Level 2, $
584
 
million
 
of derivative liabilities from Level 1 to Level 2, and $
21
 million of derivative assets from Level 1 to Level 2, and no
transfers
from Level 2 to Level 1, due to changes in observability in the inputs used to value these securities
and d
e
rivatives 
(for the quarter ended October 31, 2021, $
2,283
 million of securities mandatorily measured at FVTPL and $
1,174
 million of securities sold short were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2
, no transfers of derivatives from Level 1 to Level 2, and no transfers
from Level 2 to Level 1; for the quarter ended January 31, 2021, 
$19 
million of securities mandatorily measured at FVTPL and
$128 
million of securities sold short were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2
, no transfers of derivatives 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 January 31, 2022, October 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021, primarily due to changes in the assessment of the observability of certain correlation
 and
market volatility inputs that were used in measuring the fair v
a
lue of our fair value option 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.

Transfers represent stage movements of prior period ECL allowances to the current period stage classification. Net remeasurement represents the current period change in ECL allowances for transfers, net write-offs, changes in forecasts of forward-looking information, parameter updates, and partial repayments in the period.

Provision for (reversal of) credit losses for loans and undrawn credit facilities and other
off-balance
sheet exposures is presented as Provision for (reversal of) credit losses on our interim consolidated statement of income.

See Note 5 for the ECL allowance on debt securities measured at FVOCI. The table above excludes the ECL allowance on debt securities classified at amortized cost of $12 million as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021: $15 million; January 31, 2021: $16 million), $10 million of which was stage 3 ECL allowance on originated credit-impaired amortized cost debt securities (October 31, 2021: $13 million; January 31, 2021: $13 million). The ECL allowances for other financial ass
e
ts classified at amortized cost were immaterial as at January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021 and were excluded from the table above. Financial assets other than loans that are classified at amortized cost are presented on our consolidated balance sheet net of ECL allowances.

Inputs, assumptions and model techniques
The uncertainties inherent in the continued recovery from the
COVID-19
pandemic continued to require the application of a heightened level of judgment in estimating ECLs, including with respect to the forecasting of forward-looking information and the determination of scenario weightings. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Annual Report for more information concerning the significant estimates and credit judgment inherent in the estimation of ECL allowances.
The following tables provide the base case, upside case and downside case scenario forecasts for select forward-looking information variables used to estimate our ECL.

National-level forward-looking forecasts are presented in the 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.
As required, the forward-looking information used to estimate ECLs reflects our expectations as at January 31, 2022 and October 31, 2021, 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 economic forecasts are made in the context of the continuing recovery underway. While our underlying base case projection as at January 31, 2022 is characterized by a slightly weaker economic recovery in the very near term relative to our prior expectation, as the epidemiology of COVID-19 continues to evolve with the more contagious Omicron variant and the expectation for interest rate hikes to occur earlier than previously anticipated, the base case represents a slight improvement in our outlook over the next year and beyond. Our base case continues to assume that effective mass vaccinations will further progress over calendar 2022 and that the vaccination programs will be able to effectively respond to the new and emerging variants and that governments will respond to future infections of the virus with targeted health measures rather than broader economic closures. As a result, our base case assumes that the absolute level of Canadian GDP will return to the
pre-COVID-19
levels in the first half of calendar 2022 and that the unemployment rate will sustainably reach
pre-pandemic
levels in the latter half of calendar 2022. While U.S. GDP has reached pre-pandemic levels, our base case assumes that the U.S. GDP growth rate for the near term is slightly slower than our previous expectations.
The downside case forecast allows for a slowdown in economic activity and a rise in the unemployment rate in the near term, if governments have to respond to rising virus cases with stricter measures than assumed under the base case. It also reflects a slower recovery thereafter to a lower level of sustained economic activity and an unemployment rate persistently above where it stood pre-pandemic. However, because the unemployment rate is starting from a lower level than in the prior quarter’s forecast as a result of the strong employment growth towards the end of calendar 2021, the near-term forecasts for unemployment rate in the downside scenario represent an improvement relative to the prior quarter. Meanwhile, the upside scenario continues to reflect a quicker recovery, with the pre-pandemic level of activity reached in early calendar 2022 and continuing at a higher trend level than the base case thereafter.
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, particularly in light of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Although the severity of the virus appears to be diminishing where vaccination rates are high, it remains a threat as hospitalization rates are still elevated and uncertainties remain regarding the pace of global vaccination efforts and the need for booster doses. Assumptions concerning the degree to which vaccinations will contain existing and potential new variants such that severe restrictions will no longer need to be imposed by governments to limit the impact of subsequent waves of infection are material to these forecasts.

If we were to only use
our base case scenario for the measurement of ECL for our performing loans, our ECL allowance would be $240 million lower than the recognized ECL as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021: $249
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 
$339 million higher than the recognized ECL as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021: $414 million). This sensitivity is isolated to the measurement of ECL and therefore did not consider changes in the
migration of
 
exposures between

stage 1 and stage 2 from the determination of the significant increase in credit risk that would have resulted in a 100% base case scenario or a 100% downside case scenario. As a result, our ECL allowance on performing loans could exceed the amount implied by the 100% downside case scenario from the migration of additional exposures from stage 1 to stage 2. Actual credit losses could differ materially from those reflected in our estimates.
The following tables provide the gross carrying amount of loans, and the contractual amounts of undrawn credit facilities and other
off-balance
sheet exposures based on the application of our
12-month
point-in-time
probability of defaults (PD) under IFRS 9 to our risk management PD bands within each respective stage for retail exposures, and based on our internal risk ratings for business and government exposures. Refer to the “Credit risk” section of our 2021 Annual Report for details on the CIBC risk categories.

The table excludes debt securities measured at FVOCI, for which ECL allowances of $23
 
million (October 31, 2021: $19
 
million) were recognized in AOCI. In addition, the table excludes debt securities classified at amortized cost, for which ECL allowances of $12
 
million were recognized as at January 31, 2022 (October 31, 2021: $15 million), $10
 
million of which was stage 3 ECL allowance on originated credit-impaired amortized cost debt securities (October 31, 2021: $13 million). Other financial assets classified at amortized cost were also excluded from the table above as their ECL allowances were immaterial as at January 31, 202
2
 and October 31, 2021. Financial assets other than loans that are classified as amortized cost are presented on our
 
consolidated balance sheet net of ECL allowances.

Excludes foreclosed assets of $16 million (October 31, 2021: $18 million) which were included in Other assets on our interim consolidated balance sheet.

Includes $10 million (October 31, 2021: $16 million) of residential mortgages and $27,079 million (October 31, 2021: $25,651 million) of business and government loans that are measured at FVTPL.
(4)
The internal risk rating grades presented for residential mortgages and certain personal loans do not take into account loan guarantees or insurance issued by the Canadian government (federal or provincial), Canadian government agencies, or private insurers, as the determination of whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for these loans is based on relative changes in the loans’ lifetime PD without considering collateral or other credit enhancements.

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. The Share Split is subject to the approval of CIBC shareholders at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders scheduled to be held on April 7, 2022 and to the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange and New York Stock Exchange. If approved by CIBC shareholders and the stock exchanges and implemented by CIBC’s Board, each shareholder of record at the close of business on May 6, 2022 (Record Date) will receive one additional share on May 13, 2022 (Payment Date) for every one share held on the Record Date.
Normal course issuer bid
On December 9, 2021, we announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange had accepted the notice of our intention to commence a normal course issuer bid. Purchase
s
under this bid will be completed upon the earlier of: (i) CIBC purchasing 10 million common shares; (ii) CIBC providing a notice of termination; or (iii) December 12, 2022. 900,000 common shares have been purchased and cancelled during the quarter at an average price of $148.86 for a total amount of $134 million.

Includes the impact of the ECL transitional arrangement announced by OSFI on March 27, 2020. The transitional arrangement results in a portion of ECL allowances that would otherwise be included in Tier 2 capital qualifying for inclusion in CET1 capital. The amount is subject to certain adjustments and limitations until the end of fiscal 2022.
(2)
The temporary exclusion of qualifying sovereign-issued securities from the leverage ratio exposure measure in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was no longer applicable beginning in the first quarter of 2022. Central bank reserves continue to be excluded from the measure.
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
2.5
% effective October 31, 2021, reflecting the highest DSB requirement under OSFI capital requirements. This results in current targets, including all buffer requirements, for CET1, Tier
1
, and Total capital ratios of 
10.5
%,
12.0
%, and
14.0
%
respectively. These targets may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion.
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 3.0%. This minimum may be higher for certain institutions at OSFI’s discretion.
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 (2.5% as noted above), and a minimum TLAC leverage ratio of 6.75%, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
During the quarter ended January 31, 2022, we have complied with OSFI’s regulatory capital, leverage ratio, and TLAC requirements.

.    Income taxes
Enron
In prior years, the Canada R
e
venue Agency (CRA) issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses (the Enron expenses). In January 2019, CIBC entered into a settlement agreement (the Agreement) with the CRA that provides certainty with respect to the portion of the Enron expenses deductible in Canada. The Agreement resulted in the recognition of a net $38 million tax recovery in the first quarter of 2019. This recovery was determined after taking into account taxable refund interest in Canada and also the portion of the Enron expenses that are expected to be deductible in the United States (the U.S. deduction). The U.S. deduction has not been agreed to by the Internal Revenue Service. It is possible that adjustments may be required to the amount of tax benefits recognized in the U.S.
Dividend received deduction
The CRA has reassessed CIBC approximately $1,420 million of additional income tax by denying the tax deductibility of certain 2011 to 2016 Canadian corporate dividends on the basis that they were part of a “dividend rental arrangement”. The dividends that were subject to the reassessments are similar to those prospectively addressed by the rules in the 2015 and 2018 Canadian federal budgets. In August 2021, CIBC filed a Notice of Appeal with the Tax Court of Canada and the matter is now in litigation. It is possible that subsequent years may be reassessed for similar activities. CIBC is confident that its tax filing positions were appropriate and intends to defend itself vigorously. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the
interim 
consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange capital loss reassessment
In November 2021, the Tax Court of Canada ruled against CIBC on its 2007 foreign exchange capital loss reassessment (Decision). CIBC disagrees with the Decision and filed its Appeal in November 2021. CIBC r
e
mains confident that its tax filing position was appropriate. Accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in the
interim 
consolidated financial statements. The exposure of additional tax and interest related to this and similar matters is approximately $300 million in addition to the potential inability to utilize approximately $500 million in unrecognized capital tax loss carryforwards.

Note 12.    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 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 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.
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 $1.4 
billion as at January 31, 2022. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those significant proceedings in which CIBC is involved, taking into account CIBC’s best estimate of such losses for those cases for which an estimate can be made. CIBC’s estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of the liability has yet to be determined. The range does not include potential punitive damages. The matters underlying the estimated range as at January 31, 2022, consist of the significant legal matters disclosed in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 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 2021 annual consolidated financial statements:
•
 
Green v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, et al.
: In January 2022, the court approved the settlement.
•
 
Fresco v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce
: In February 2022, CIBC’s appeal was dismissed. The hearing on aggregate damages will be heard in September 2022.
•
 
Mortgage prepayment class actions
: Court approval of the settlement in
Sherry
and
Jordan
was heard in British Columbia and Ontario in February 2022. The courts reserved their decisions.
•
 
Credit card class actions – Interchange fees litigation
: The settlement was approved by the courts in all five jurisdictions in December 2021. These matters are now closed.
•
 
Cerberus Capital Management L.P. v. CIBC
: CIBC’s motion for summary judgment was heard in December 2021, and denied. A non-jury trial is scheduled to commence in March 2022.
•
 
Order Execution Only class actions
: The motion for certification in
Frayce
, which was scheduled for February 2022, was adjourned.
Other than the items described above, there are no significant developments in the matters identified in Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report, and no new significant legal proceedings have arisen since the issuance of our 2021 annual consolidated financial statements.
