CIBC Announces First Quarter 2013 Results

TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) reported today net income of $798 million for the first quarter ended January 31, 2013, compared with net income of $835 million for the same period last year and $852 million for the prior quarter. Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.91, compared with $1.93 a year ago and $2.02 for the prior quarter. Return on common shareholders' equity for the first quarter was 19.9%.

Excluding items of note listed below, CIBC reported record adjusted net income of $895⁽¹⁾ million for the first quarter, compared with adjusted net income of $833⁽¹⁾ million for the same period last year and $858⁽¹⁾ million for the prior quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS was $2.15⁽¹⁾, compared with adjusted diluted EPS of $1.97⁽¹⁾ a year ago and $2.04⁽¹⁾ for the prior quarter.

Results for the first quarter of 2013 were affected by the following items of note netting to a negative impact of $0.24 per share:

$148 million ($109 million after-tax or $0.27 per share) loss from the structured credit run-off business, including the charge in respect of a settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.;
$16 million ($16 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) gain, net of associated expenses, on the sale of our Hong Kong and Singapore-based private wealth management business; and
$5 million ($4 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) amortization of intangible assets.

Effective January 2013, CIBC adopted the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institution's (OSFI) revised Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) guideline reflecting changes to capital requirements, referred to as Basel III. As a result of the change in methodology, the regulatory capital information at January 31, 2013 is not comparable to prior periods. CIBC's Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 ratio at January 31, 2013 was 9.6%, and our Tier 1 capital ratio and Total capital ratio were 12.0% and 15.3%, respectively, on an all-in basis.

"CIBC's solid results in the first quarter reflect our strong focus on our clients as well as our underlying business fundamentals," says Gerald T. McCaughey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The broad-based performance across our core businesses reflects our first principle which is to be a lower risk bank delivering consistent, sustainable earnings."

Core business performance
Retail and Business Banking reported net income of $611 million for the first quarter, up from $567 million for the same quarter last year.

Revenue of $2.1 billion was up 2% from the first quarter of 2012, primarily due to volume growth across most products, higher fees and wider spreads, partially offset by lower treasury allocations.

Provision for credit losses of $241 million was down $40 million, or 14%, from the same quarter last year due to lower write-offs and bankruptcies in the cards portfolio.

During the first quarter of 2013, our retail and business banking business continued to make progress against our objectives of accelerating profitable revenue growth and enhancing client experience:

We launched the CIBC Mobile Payments App, marking another first for CIBC. Our clients now have an ability to make credit card payments using their smartphone, putting them at the leading edge of a market that will grow significantly in 2013 and beyond;
CIBC continues to deliver mobile innovations, offering anytime, anywhere access to banking and financial information, with the launch of a new mobile banking app for President's Choice Financial clients. The new PC Financial Mobile Banking App is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, with Android support coming soon;
The ongoing conversion of our FirstLine clients into CIBC-branded mortgages continues to exceed our targets;
We opened three branches and will open, expand or relocate 23 branches by the end of 2013 to better serve our clients;
As the lead sponsor of the CIBC Pan Am and Parapan Am Games, we announced the start of construction for the new CIBC Pan Am and Parapan Am Athletics Stadium at York University. CIBC's objectives for the Pan Am and Parapan Am Games are to inspire a generation of young athletes, enrich our communities, provide significant opportunities for local businesses and leave behind a sustainable legacy; and
To enhance financial literacy, we entered into a new partnership with HGTV's Income Property and trusted Canadian real estate expert, Scott McGillivray, to reach consumers who want to better equip themselves with financial know-how prior to home purchases or renovations.

Wealth Management reported net income of $90 million for the first quarter, down $10 million or 10% from the same quarter last year. Excluding a gain of $37 million ($35 million after-tax) relating to an equity-accounted investment in the first quarter of 2012, included as an item of note, net income was up $25 million or 38% from the same quarter last year.

Revenue of $432 million was down $3 million or 1% compared to the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the above-mentioned item of note, revenue was up $34 million or 9% from the same quarter last year.

During the first quarter of 2013, our wealth management business continued its progress in support of our strategic priority to build our wealth management platform:

Wealth Management has achieved an all-time high of $223 billion in assets under administration as a result of deepening client relationships and sustained sales momentum in our investment solutions;
CIBC Investor's Edge launched a new online interface, providing clients with additional tools and functionality to monitor their investment portfolios;
We achieved our strongest quarterly long-term mutual fund net sales results on record with $1.7 billion for the first quarter; and
In CIBC Wood Gundy, we continued to invest in our strong technology platform with the launch of the latest portfolio management system to support client relationships through enhanced functionalities and advisor-focused work flow.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $91 million for the first quarter, down $102 million from the prior quarter. Excluding items of note, which include the settlement related to the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., adjusted net income was $200⁽¹⁾ million, up $8 million from the prior quarter.

Revenue of $563 million was down $12 million or 2% from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower gains in the structured credit run-off business, partially offset by higher capital markets revenue in fixed income and higher revenue from corporate credit products.

Wholesale Banking had several notable achievements during the first quarter that supported its objective to be the premier client-focused wholesale bank centred in Canada:

CIBC acted as lead coordinator for Canada Housing Trust No.1's $5.0 billion issuance of 1.7% Canada Mortgage Bonds due December 15, 2017;
CIBC acted as joint bookrunner on Husky Energy's $3.2 billion credit facilities;
CIBC acted as financial advisor to GDF Suez on the sale of 60% interest in its Canadian renewable generation portfolio to Mitsui & Co. and a consortium led by Fiera Axium Infrastructure with an enterprise value in excess of $2.0 billion;
CIBC acted as joint bookrunner on a $700 million bond offering for Reliance LP;
CIBC acted as financial advisor to Penn West on the sale of its 11.7% Net Royalty Interest in its Weyburn Oil Unit to Franco-Nevada for $400 million; and
CIBC acted as joint bookrunner of Hudson's Bay Company's $380 million common share initial public offering.

"CIBC delivered solid performance during the first quarter," says Mr. McCaughey. "The investments we are making in our retail and business banking, wealth management and wholesale banking businesses are furthering our strength and positioning us well for the future."

CIBC in our communities
CIBC is committed to supporting causes that matter to our clients, our employees and our communities. During the quarter:

CIBC Miracle Day raised a record $4.5 million in donated fees and commissions that will support over 450 children's charities across Canada, and in the U.K. and the U.S.;
CIBC's 2012 United Way campaign raised $11.1 million, marking an increase of 30% per cent over last year's total of $8.5 million; and
The top student fundraisers in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure Post Secondary Challenge won $2,500 CIBC Education Awards to help pay for their studies.

Overview

Financial results
Reported net income for the quarter was $798 million, compared to $835 million for the same quarter last year and $852 million for the prior quarter.

Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $1.91, compared to $1.93 for the same quarter last year and $2.02 for the prior quarter.

Adjusted diluted EPS⁽¹⁾ for the quarter was $2.15, compared to $1.97 for the same quarter last year and $2.04 for the prior quarter.

Net income was affected by the following items of note:

$148 million ($109 million after-tax) loss from the structured credit run-off business, including the charge in respect of a settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc.(Wholesale Banking);
$16 million ($16 million after-tax) gain, net of associated expenses, on the sale of our Hong Kong and Singapore-based private wealth management business (Corporate and Other); and
$5 million ($4 million after-tax) amortization of intangible assets ($2 million after-tax in Retail and Business Banking and $2 million after-tax in Corporate and Other).

The above items of note increased revenue by $28 million, non-interest expenses by $165 million, and decreased income tax expenses by $40 million. In aggregate, these items of note decreased net income by $97 million.

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

Net interest income
Net interest income was up $13 million or 1% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher trading-related net interest income, wider retail spreads, and volume growth across most retail products, partially offset by lower treasury-related net interest income.

Net interest income was up $7 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher trading-related net interest income and wider retail spreads, largely offset by lower treasury-related net interest income.

Non-interest income
Non-interest income was up $11 million or 1% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher mutual fund and credit fees, and higher gains net of write-downs on available-for-sale (AFS) securities, partially offset by lower trading income. The current quarter had a gain on sale of the private wealth management business as noted above, while the same quarter last year had a gain relating to an equity-accounted investment in our Wealth Management strategic business unit (SBU), also included as an item of note.

Non-interest income was up $15 million or 1% from the prior quarter. The prior quarter included a loss relating to the change in valuation of collateralized derivatives to an overnight index swap (OIS) basis, and a gain on sale of interests in entities in relation to the acquisition of TMX Group Inc. (TMX Group) by Maple Group Acquisition Corporation (Maple), both included as items of note. The current quarter had a gain on sale of the private wealth management business as noted above, higher gains net of write-downs on AFS securities, and higher mutual fund fees, partially offset by lower income from our equity accounted investments, and underwriting and advisory fees.

Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses was down $73 million or 22% from the same quarter last year. In Retail and Business Banking, provisions were down due to lower write-offs and bankruptcies in the cards portfolio. In Wholesale Banking, provisions were down due to lower losses in the U.S. real estate finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, provisions were down due to lower losses in CIBC FirstCaribbean International Bank (CIBC FirstCaribbean) and higher net provision reversals related to collective allowance reported in this segment.

The provision for credit losses was down $63 million or 19% from the prior quarter. In Retail and Business Banking, provisions were down due to lower losses in the business lending portfolio. In Wholesale Banking, provisions were down due to lower losses in the exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, provisions were up due to higher losses in CIBC FirstCaribbean, and the provision for collective allowance reported in this segment was comparable to the prior quarter.

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were up $196 million or 11% compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business noted above, and higher employee compensation and benefits.

Non-interest expenses were up $158 million or 9% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business noted above, and higher employee compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower advertising, computer and office equipment, and occupancy costs.

Income taxes
Income tax expense was down $62 million or 32% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to lower income and higher tax-exempt income.

Income tax expense was down $19 million or 13% from the prior quarter, mainly due to lower income.

In prior years, the Canada Revenue Agency issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of approximately $3.0 billion of the 2005 Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses. The matter is currently in litigation and on December 21, 2011 (and reconfirmed on July 5, 2012), in connection with a motion by CIBC to strike the Crown's replies, the Tax Court of Canada struck certain portions of the replies and directed the Crown to submit amended replies. Both the Crown and CIBC appealed the ruling to the Federal Court of Appeal, and the appeal was heard on November 21, 2012. A decision has not yet been rendered.

Should we successfully defend our tax filing position in its entirety, we would recognize an additional accounting tax benefit of $214 million and taxable refund interest of approximately $187 million. Should we fail to defend our position in its entirety, we would incur an additional tax expense of approximately $866 million and non-deductible interest of approximately $124 million.

Impact of items of note in prior periods
Net income for the prior quarters was affected by the following items of note:

Q4, 2012

$57 million ($32 million after-tax) loan losses in our exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio (Wholesale Banking);
$51 million ($37 million after-tax) gain from the structured credit run-off business (Wholesale Banking);
$33 million ($24 million after-tax) loss relating to the change in valuation of collateralized derivatives to the OIS basis ($23 million after-tax in Wholesale Banking and $1 million after-tax in Corporate and Other);
$24 million ($19 million after-tax) gain on sale of interests in entities in relation to the acquisition of TMX Group by Maple, net of associated expenses (Wholesale Banking); and
$7 million ($6 million after-tax) amortization of intangible assets ($2 million after-tax in Retail and Business Banking and $4 million after-tax in Corporate and Other).

The above items of note increased revenue by $52 million, provision for credit losses by $53 million, non-interest expenses by $21 million, and decreased income tax expenses by $16 million. In aggregate, these items of note decreased net income by $6 million.

Q1, 2012

$37 million ($35 million after-tax) gain relating to an equity-accounted investment (Wealth Management);
$35 million ($26 million after-tax) loss from the structured credit run-off business (Wholesale Banking); and
$9 million ($7 million after-tax) amortization of intangible assets ($2 million after-tax in Retail and Business Banking and $5 million after-tax in Corporate and Other).

The above items of note increased revenue by $10 million, non-interest expenses by $17 million, and decreased income tax expenses by $9 million. In aggregate, these items of note increased net income by $2 million.

In addition, net income attributable to common shareholders was also affected by the following item of note:

$18 million premium paid on preferred share redemptions.

Significant events

Lehman Brothers bankruptcy proceedings
During the quarter, CIBC recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note as further detailed in Note 23 of the 2012 consolidated financial statements.

Private wealth management (Asia)
On January 25, 2013, CIBC sold its stand-alone Hong Kong and Singapore-based private wealth management business. This niche advisory and brokerage business, which was included in International banking within Corporate and Other, provided private banking services to a small number of high-net-worth individuals in the Asia-Pacific region and had assets under management of approximately $2 billion. As a result, CIBC recognized a gain, net of associated expenses, of $16 million ($16 million after-tax) during the quarter. CIBC's other businesses in Asia are unaffected by this transaction.

Outlook for calendar year 2013

Moderate economic growth is likely to continue in both Canada and the U.S. in 2013. Real GDP gains are likely to be in the vicinity of 2% in both Canada and the U.S. in the face of soft growth overseas, and ongoing fiscal tightening. We expect European governments will prevent sovereign debt troubles from spilling over into a larger Eurozone banking crisis but fiscal tightening has left Europe in a mild recession. In the U.S., improving household credit fundamentals and continued recovery in home building will help offset the drag from tighter fiscal policy, although the degree of spending cuts remains to be determined.

Canada's economy will benefit from a pick-up in oil output, but will see somewhat less robust domestic demand. Government spending will remain a slight negative for growth as fiscal tightening continues. Consumer demand will be supported by ongoing job creation, but will be held close to income gains as the appetite for credit is held in check by existing high debt levels, even with the Bank of Canada avoiding interest rate increases through 2013. Housing is turning from a strong growth contributor to a slight negative this year as the impact of softer sales shows up in a modest retreat in construction activity.

Retail and Business Banking is expected to face slightly slower growth in demand for mortgages, while consumer credit demand could continue to see limited growth. Demand for business credit should continue at a healthy growth rate. Slightly slower economic growth is unlikely to result in deterioration in household credit quality, with the unemployment rate holding nearly steady.

Wealth Management should see an improvement in demand for equities and other risk assets over the course of 2013 as global uncertainties are gradually resolved.

Wholesale Banking will continue to benefit from a healthy pace of debt financings as both governments and corporations take advantage of low interest rates and robust market conditions. Equity issuance could improve over the course of the year as global growth uncertainties are gradually resolved, a trend that should also support merger activity. Corporate credit demand should be supported by growth in capital spending, although the public debt market and internal cash flows will be a competitive source of funding.

(1)		Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.
(2)		Wholesale Banking revenue and income taxes are reported on a taxable equivalent basis (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 capital markets activity, which affects our brokerage, investment management, and wholesale banking activities.

Revenue
Retail and Business Banking revenue has benefitted from volume growth across most retail products, offset to some extent by the continued low interest rate environment and attrition in our exited FirstLine mortgage business.

Wealth Management revenue has benefitted from continued strong net sales of long-term mutual funds and higher average assets under management. Income from our proportionate share in American Century Investments (ACI) is included from September 1, 2011 and a gain related to this equity-accounted investment was included in the first quarter of 2012.

Wholesale Banking revenue is influenced to a large extent by capital market conditions. Revenue had been adversely affected by losses in the structured credit run-off business up to the third quarter of 2012, while the fourth quarter included a gain. The second quarter of 2012 included the hedge accounting loss on leveraged leases. The fourth quarter of 2012 included a gain on sale of interests in entities in relation to the acquisition of TMX Group by Maple and a loss relating to the change in valuation of collateralized derivatives to an OIS basis.

Corporate and Other had lower unallocated treasury revenue in the second half of 2012 and first quarter of 2013. The current quarter also included a gain on sale of the private wealth management business (Asia).

Provision for credit losses
The provision for credit losses is dependent upon the credit cycle in general and on the credit performance of the loan portfolios. Losses in the cards portfolio improved in 2012 and the first quarter of 2013. Wholesale Banking provisions declined in the second and third quarters of 2011, while the fourth quarter of 2011 had higher losses in the exited European leveraged finance portfolio. During 2012, we had higher losses in U.S. real estate finance and the exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio.

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses have fluctuated over the period largely due to changes in employee compensation and benefits, including pension expense. An impairment loss relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill was recognized in the third quarter of 2011. The current quarter had higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business.

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. Tax-exempt income has been trending higher since the second quarter of 2011. The above-noted impairment loss relating to CIBC FirstCaribbean goodwill was not tax-effected.

Non-GAAP measures

We use a number of financial measures to assess the performance of our business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with 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 useful in analyzing financial performance. For a more detailed discussion on our non-GAAP measures, see page 19 of the 2012 Annual Report.

The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures related to CIBC on a consolidated basis.

The net loss for the quarter was mainly due to a charge in respect of a settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., a decrease in the value of receivables related to protection purchased from financial guarantors (on loan assets that are carried at amortized cost), resulting from an increase in the mark-to-market (MTM) of the underlying positions, and net interest expense, partially offset by a CVA gain relating to financial guarantors and gains on unhedged positions.

Our net USRMM position, consisting of a written credit derivative, amounted to US$47 million. This position was hedged through protection purchased from a large U.S.-based diversified multinational insurance and financial services company with which we have market-standard collateral arrangements.

Collateralized loan obligation (CLO)
CLO positions consist of super senior tranches of CLOs backed by diversified pools of primarily U.S. (62%) and European-based (36%) senior secured leveraged loans. As at January 31, 2013, approximately 22% of the total notional amount of the CLO tranches was rated equivalent to AAA, 72% was rated between the equivalent of AA+ and AA-, and the remainder was the equivalent of A. As at January 31, 2013, approximately 17% of the underlying collateral was rated equivalent to BB- or higher, 53% was rated between the equivalent of B+ and B-, 7% was rated equivalent to CCC+ or lower, with the remainder unrated. The CLO positions have a weighted-average life of 2.7 years and average subordination of 30%.

Corporate debt
Corporate debt exposure consists of a large matched super senior derivative, where CIBC has purchased and sold credit protection on the same reference portfolio. The reference portfolio consists of highly diversified, predominantly investment grade corporate credit. Claims on these contracts do not occur until cumulative credit default losses from the reference portfolio exceed 30% during the 47 month term of the contract. On this reference portfolio, we have sold protection to an investment dealer.

Other
Our significant positions in Other, as at January 31, 2013, include:

US$214 million notional value of CDOs consisting of trust preferred securities (TruPs) collateral, which are Tier I Innovative Capital Instruments issued by U.S. regional banks and insurers. These securities are classified as FVO securities and had a fair value of US$167 million;
US$167 million notional value of trading securities with a fair value of US$135 million, and US$292 million notional value of written protection with a fair value of US$67 million, on inflation-linked notes, and CDO tranches with collateral consisting of high-yield corporate debt portfolios, TruPs and non-U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities, with 55% rated between the equivalent of A+ and A-, 36% rated between the equivalent of BBB+ and BBB-, and the majority of the remaining rated equivalent of BB+ or lower;
US$58 million notional value of an asset-backed security (ABS) classified as a loan, with fair value of US$49 million and carrying value of US$52 million;
Variable rate Class A-1/A-2 notes classified as trading securities with a notional value of US$290 million and a fair value of US$247 million, tracking notes classified as AFS with a notional value of US$10 million and a fair value of US$2 million, and loans with a notional value of US$59 million and fair value and carrying value of nil. These notes were originally received in exchange for our non-bank sponsored asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) in January 2009, upon the ratification of the Montreal Accord restructuring; and
US$296 million of undrawn Margin Funding Facility related to the Montreal Accord restructuring.

Unmatched
The underlyings in our unmatched positions are a reference portfolio of corporate debt and a loan backed by film receivables.

Credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and other counterparties
The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and other counterparties by counterparty credit quality, based on external credit ratings (Standard & Poor's (S&P) and/or Moody's Investors Service (Moody's)), and the underlying referenced assets. Excluded from the table below are certain performing loans and tranched securities positions in our continuing businesses, with a total notional amount of approximately US$60 million, which are partly secured by direct guarantees from financial guarantors or by bonds guaranteed by financial guarantors.

(1)		In cases where one credit rating agency does not provide a rating, the classification in the table is based on the rating provided by the other agency. Where ratings differ between agencies, we use the lower rating.

The unrated other counterparties are primarily two Canadian conduits. These conduits are in compliance with their collateral posting arrangements and have posted collateral exceeding current market exposure. The fair value of the collateral as at January 31, 2013 was US$360 million relative to US$41 million of net exposure.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and Other includes the six functional groups - Technology and Operations, Corporate Development, Finance, Treasury, Administration, and Risk Management - that support CIBC's SBUs. The revenue, expenses and balance sheet resources of these functional groups are generally allocated to the business lines within the SBUs. Corporate and Other also includes our International banking operations comprising mainly CIBC FirstCaribbean, strategic investments in the CIBC Mellon joint ventures and The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited, and other income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributable to the business lines.

Financial overview
Net income for the quarter was $6 million, down $29 million from the same quarter last year primarily due to lower revenue.

Net income was comparable to the prior quarter.

Revenue
Revenue was down $77 million or 39% from the same quarter last year.

International banking revenue was up $15 million or 10% from the same quarter last year, primarily due to a gain on sale of the private wealth management business, included as an item of note.

Other revenue was down $92 million from the same quarter last year due to lower unallocated treasury revenue and a higher TEB adjustment.

Revenue was down $7 million or 5% from the prior quarter.

International banking revenue was up $14 million or 9% from the prior quarter, primarily due to a gain on sale of the private wealth management business noted above.

Other revenue was down $21 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower unallocated treasury revenue and lower income from equity-accounted investments.

Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was down $17 million compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to lower losses in CIBC FirstCaribbean and higher provision reversals of collectively assessed credit losses relating to the cards and commercial banking portfolios, partially offset by higher provision in the personal lending portfolio.

Provision for credit losses was up $7 million from the prior quarter, mainly due to higher losses in CIBC FirstCaribbean. Net higher provision reversals of collectively assessed credit losses relating to the cards portfolio were offset by higher provision in the personal lending portfolio.

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were up $12 million or 6% from the same quarter last year, mainly due to higher unallocated corporate support costs.

Non-interest expenses were down $22 million or 10% from the prior quarter, mainly due to lower unallocated corporate support costs.

Income taxes
Income tax benefit was up $43 million from the same quarter last year, primarily due to a higher TEB adjustment.

Income tax benefit was down $8 million from the prior quarter.

Assets
As at January 31, 2013, total assets were down $602 million from October 31, 2012.

Cash and deposits with banks increased by $909 million or 19% mostly due to higher treasury deposit placements.

Securities increased by $1.7 billion or 3%, with increases in both AFS securities and trading securities. AFS securities increased mainly in government-issued or guaranteed securities. Trading securities increased largely in the equity portfolios.

Net loans and acceptances decreased by $1.6 billion. Residential mortgages were down $1.1 billion, primarily due to attrition in our FirstLine mortgage business, partially offset by new mortgage originations through CIBC channels. Personal loans were down $556 million and credit card loans were down $330 million due to net repayments. Business and government loans and acceptances were up $348 million due to growth in our domestic and international portfolios.

Derivative instruments decreased by $2.0 billion or 7% largely driven by valuation of interest rate derivatives.

Other assets decreased by $234 million or 2%, mainly due to a decrease in collateral pledged for derivatives, partially offset by an increase in income taxes receivable as a result of payments made in the quarter.

Liabilities
As at January 31, 2013, total liabilities were down $739 million from October 31, 2012.

Deposits increased by $6.0 billion or 2%, primarily driven by business and government and personal volume growth.

Obligations related to securities lent or sold short or under repurchase agreements decreased by $3.0 billion or 14%, primarily due to client-driven activities.

Derivative instruments decreased by $2.5 billion or 9% due to the valuation of interest rate derivatives.

Other liabilities decreased by $1.1 billion or 5%, mainly due to lower acceptances and accrued liabilities.

Equity
As at January 31, 2013, equity increased by $137 million or 1%, primarily due to a net increase in retained earnings, and the issuance of common shares pursuant to the stock option, shareholder investment, and employee share purchase plans (ESPP). These were offset in part by common shares purchased for cancellation, as explained in the "Significant capital management activity" section below.

Capital resources

We actively manage our capital to maintain a strong and efficient capital base, to maximize risk-adjusted returns to shareholders, and to meet regulatory requirements. For additional details on capital resources, see pages 35 to 39 of the 2012 Annual Report.

Basel III and revisions to regulatory capital requirements
Our regulatory capital requirements are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI.

On December 10, 2012, OSFI issued the final version of revisions to its guidelines for capital adequacy in Canada which incorporate the adoption of the significant capital reforms, referred to as Basel III, issued by the BCBS. The most significant aspects of the reforms are measures to improve the quality of capital and increase capital requirements for the global financial system. These measures are discussed further on page 37 of the 2012 Annual Report.

OSFI expects all institutions to establish target capital ratios that meet or exceed the 2019 all-in⁽ⁱ⁾minimum ratios plus conservation buffer early in the transition period. For the Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, the target is 7% by the first quarter of 2013. The targets for the Tier 1 capital ratio and Total capital ratio are 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, to be established by the first quarter of 2014. These targets may be higher for certain institutions or groups of institutions if OSFI feels the circumstances warrant it.

OSFI's capital adequacy guidelines provide for a deferral of the additional capital charge to cover credit valuation charges for bilateral OTC derivatives to January 1, 2014. The delay provides for a coordinated start on the implementation of this new requirement with other significant jurisdictions

Effective in the first quarter of 2013, regulatory capital requirements are based on the Basel III methodology, while requirements for the fourth quarter of 2012 were determined on a Basel II basis. As a result of the change in methodology, the regulatory capital information at October 31, 2012 and January 31, 2013 is not comparable.

All-in basis⁽ⁱ⁾
On an all-in basis⁽ⁱ⁾ under Basel III, regulatory adjustments are deducted from common equity for the purpose of calculating the new Common Equity Tier 1 ratio. The regulatory adjustments include a broad range of items, such as goodwill, intangible assets, pension assets, deferred tax assets and equity investments in financial entities subject to investment thresholds and limits.

RWAs increased from October 31, 2012. This is largely attributable to the implementation of the following Basel III changes:

A 1.25 multiplier is applied to the correlation parameter for exposures to financial institutions under the internal ratings based approach subject to certain criteria;
Items that were previously deducted from capital under Basel II (such as significant investments in commercial entities and exposures relating to securitization that were deducted from capital) are now risk-weighted at 1,250%;
Significant investments in the equity of financial entities and deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences are only deducted if they exceed certain thresholds; the amounts not deducted are risk weighted at 250%; and
Higher capital requirements for exposures that give rise to greater degrees of wrong-way risk.

Transitional basis
Under Basel III, transitional RWAs differ from RWAs on an all-in basis. On a transitional basis certain deductions from capital will be phased in at 20% per year starting in 2014. The amount not yet deducted from capital is risk-weighted accordingly.

⁽ⁱ⁾ "All-in" is defined by OSFI as capital calculated to include all of the regulatory adjustments that will be required by 2019, but retaining the phase-out rules for non-qualifying capital instruments.

Significant capital management activity
Normal course issuer bid
During the quarter, we purchased and cancelled 3,337,300 common shares under the normal course issuer bid at an average price of $80.69 for a total amount of $269 million.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of our business. We consolidate all of our sponsored trusts that securitize our own assets with the exception of the commercial mortgage securitization trust.

CIBC-sponsored conduits
We sponsor a single-seller conduit and several multi-seller conduits (collectively, the conduits) in Canada.

As at January 31, 2013, the underlying collateral for various asset types in our multi-seller conduits amounted to $1.5 billion (October 31, 2012: $1.6 billion). The estimated weighted-average life of these assets was 1.3 years (October 31, 2012: 9 months). Our holdings of commercial paper issued by our non-consolidated sponsored multi-seller conduits that offer commercial paper to external investors were $15 million (October 31, 2012: $23 million). Our committed backstop liquidity facilities to these conduits were $2.2 billion (October 31, 2012: $2.2 billion). We also provided credit facilities of $30 million (October 31, 2012: $30 million) to these conduits as at January 31, 2013.

We participated in a syndicated facility for a 3-year commitment of $575 million to our single-seller conduit that provides funding to franchisees of a major Canadian retailer. Our portion of the commitment was $110 million (October 31, 2012: $110 million). As at January 31, 2013, we funded $81 million (October 31, 2012: $80 million) through the issuance of bankers' acceptances.

The fair value of these hedges net of CVA was $277 million (October 31, 2012: $307 million). An additional notional of $198 million (October 31, 2012: $1.0 billion) was hedged through a limited recourse note. Accumulated fair value losses were $24 million (October 31, 2012: $26 million) on unhedged written credit derivatives.

Additional details of our structured entities are provided in Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial statements. Details of our other off-balance sheet arrangements are provided on pages 39 to 41 of the 2012 Annual Report.

Management of risk

Our approach to management of risk has not changed significantly from that described on pages 42 to 68 of the 2012 Annual Report. Certain disclosures in this section have been shaded as they are required under IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" and form an integral part of the interim consolidated financial statements.

Risk overview
We manage risk and related balance sheet resources within tolerance levels established by our management committees and approved by the Board of Directors and its committees. Key risk management policies are reviewed and approved by the applicable Board and management committees annually. Further details on the Board and management committees, as applicable to the management of risk, are provided on pages 42 and 43 of the 2012 Annual Report.

The five key groups within Risk Management, independent of the originating businesses, contribute to our management of risk:

Capital Markets Risk Management - This unit provides independent oversight of the measurement, monitoring and control of market risks (both trading and non-trading), trading credit risk and trading operational risk across CIBC's portfolios;
Card Products Risk Management - This unit oversees the management of credit risk in the card products portfolio, including the optimization of credit portfolio quality;
Retail Lending and Wealth Risk Management - This unit primarily oversees the management of credit and fraud risk in the retail lines of credit and loans, residential mortgage, and small business loan portfolios, including the optimization of credit portfolio quality. This unit is also responsible for overall risk management oversight of wealth management activities;
Wholesale Credit and Investment Risk Management - This unit is responsible for the adjudication and oversight of credit risks associated with our commercial and wholesale lending activities globally, management of the risks of our investment portfolios, as well as management of the special loans portfolios; and
Risk Services - This unit is responsible for enterprise-wide analysis and reporting. Risk Services is also responsible for economic capital methodologies and policies, and CIBC's operational risk framework.

Liquidity, funding and interest rate risks are managed by Treasury. The measurement, monitoring and control of these risks are addressed in collaboration with Risk Management, with oversight provided by the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO).

Credit risk

Credit risk primarily arises from our direct lending, trading, investment and hedging activities. Credit risk is defined as the risk of financial loss due to a borrower or counterparty failing to meet its obligations in accordance with contractual terms.

Real estate secured personal lending
Real estate secured personal lending comprises residential mortgages and personal loans and lines secured by residential property (HELOC). This portfolio is low risk where we have a first charge on the majority of the properties, and 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.

Under the Bank Act, banks are limited to providing residential real estate loans of no more than 80% of the collateral value. An exception is made for loans with a higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratio if they are insured by either Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) or a private mortgage insurer. Mortgage insurance protects banks from the risk of default by the borrower, over the term of the coverage. Private mortgage insurers are subject to regulatory capital requirements, which aim to ensure that they are well capitalized. If a private mortgage insurer becomes insolvent, the Government of Canada has, provided certain conditions are met, obligations in respect of policies underwritten by certain insolvent private mortgage insurers as more fully described in the recently enacted Protection of Residential Mortgage or Hypothecary Insurance Act (PRMHIA). There is a possibility that losses could be incurred in respect of insured mortgages if, among other things, CMHC or the applicable private mortgage insurer denies a claim, or further, if a private mortgage insurer becomes insolvent and either the conditions under the PRMHIA are not met or the Government of Canada denies the claim. No material losses are expected in the mortgage portfolio.

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, 2013, our Canadian condominium mortgages were $16.8 billion (October 31, 2012: $17.0 billion) of which 77% (October 31, 2012: 77%) were insured. Our drawn developer loans were $789 million (October 31, 2012: $701 million) or 1% of our business and government portfolio and our related undrawn exposure was $2.0 billion (October 31, 2012: $2.0 billion). The condominium developer exposure is diversified across 73 projects.

We stress test our mortgage and HELOC portfolio to determine the potential impact of different economic events. Our stress tests can use variables such as GDP, unemployment, bankruptcy rates, debt service ratios and delinquency trends, which are reflective of potential ranges of housing price declines, 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 to the early 1980s and early 1990s when Canada experienced economic downturns. Our results show that in an economic downturn, our strong capital position should be sufficient to absorb mortgage and HELOC losses.

Counterparty credit exposure

We have counterparty credit exposure that arises from our interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, commodity, and credit derivatives trading, hedging, and portfolio management activities, as explained in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report.

We establish a CVA for expected future credit losses from each of our derivative counterparties. As at January 31, 2013, the CVA for all derivative counterparties was $97 million (October 31, 2012: $137 million).

The following table shows the rating profile of OTC derivative MTM receivables (after CVA and derivative master netting agreements but before any collateral).

Excludes allowance on undrawn credit facilities of $61 million (October 31, 2012: $56 million).

Gross impaired loans (GIL) were down $118 million or 6% from October 31, 2012. Consumer GIL was up $18 million or 2%, mainly driven by residential mortgages and personal lending. Business and government GIL was down $136 million or 12%, attributable to decreases in the publishing, printing and broadcasting, and oil and gas sectors.

The total allowance for credit losses was down $40 million or 2% from October 31, 2012. Canadian and U.S. allowances for credit losses comprise 71% and 12%, respectively, of the total allowance. The individually assessed allowance was down $29 million or 6% from October 31, 2012, mainly driven by the oil and gas sector. The collectively assessed allowance was down $11 million or 1% from October 31, 2012, largely driven by an improvement in the cards portfolio.

For details on the provision for credit losses, see the "Overview" section.

Exposure to certain countries and regions

Several European countries, especially Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, have continued to experience credit concerns. The following tables provide our exposure to these and other European countries, both within and outside the Eurozone. Except as noted in our indirect exposures section below, we do not have any other exposure through our special purpose entities (SPEs) to the countries included in the tables below.

We do not have a material exposure to the countries in the Middle East and North Africa that have either experienced or may be at risk of unrest. These countries include Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen.

Direct exposures to certain countries and regions

Our direct exposures presented in the tables below comprise (A) funded - on-balance sheet loans (stated at amortized cost net of allowances, if any), deposits with banks (stated at amortized cost net of allowances, if any) and securities (stated at fair value); (B) unfunded - unutilized credit commitments, letters of credit, and guarantees (stated at notional amount net of allowances, if any) and sold credit default swap (CDS) contracts where we do not benefit from subordination (stated at notional amount less fair value); and (C) derivative MTM receivables (stated at fair value) and repo-style transactions ⁽¹⁾ (stated at fair value). Of our total direct exposures to Europe, approximately 97% (October 31, 2012: 98%) is to entities in countries with Aaa/AAA ratings from at least one of Moody's or S&P.

Includes $144 million of exposure (notional value of $181 million and fair value of $37 million) on a CDS sold on a bond issue of a U.K. corporate entity, which is guaranteed by a financial guarantor. We currently hold the CDS sold as part of our structured credit run-off business. A payout on the CDS sold would be triggered by the bankruptcy of the reference entity, or a failure of the entity to make a principal or interest payment as it is due; as well as failure of the financial guarantor to meet its obligation under the guarantee.

Collateral on derivative MTM receivables was $2.3 billion (October 31, 2012: $2.3 billion), and was all in the form of cash. Collateral on repo-style transactions was $5.3 billion (October 31, 2012: $3.5 billion), and is comprised of cash and investment-grade debt securities.

Indirect exposures to certain countries and regions

Our indirect exposures comprise securities (primarily CLOs classified as loans on our consolidated balance sheet), and written credit protection on securities in our structured credit run-off business where we benefit from subordination to our position. Our gross exposure before subordination is stated at carrying value for securities and notional less fair value for derivatives where we have written protection. We have no indirect exposures to Portugal, Slovenia, Guernsey, Turkey, and Russia.

Market risk

Market risk arises from positions in currencies, securities and derivatives held in our trading portfolios, and from our retail banking business, investment portfolios, and other non-trading activities. Market risk is defined as the potential for financial loss from adverse changes in underlying market factors, including interest and foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, and equity and commodity prices.

Trading activities

The following three tables show VaR, stressed VaR and Incremental risk charge for our trading activities based on risk type under an internal models-based approach.

Trading revenue (TEB) comprises both trading net interest income and non-interest income and excludes underwriting fees and commissions. Trading revenue (TEB) for the purposes of these tables excludes positions described in the "Structured credit run-off business" section of the MD&A and certain other exited portfolios.

Total average VaR for the three months ended January 31, 2013 was down 9% from the last quarter, driven mainly by a decrease in our equity risk, offset by an increase in interest rate risk.

Average stressed VaR for the three months ended January 31, 2013 was up 71% from the last quarter. During the current stressed VaR period from March 6, 2008 to March 5, 2009, the market exhibited increased interest rate volatility combined with a reduction in the level of interest rates, and an increase in credit spreads.

Average incremental risk charge for the three months ended January 31, 2013 was up 35% from the last quarter, mainly due to increased trading inventory in the high-yield fixed income business.

Trading revenue

The trading revenue (TEB) and VaR graph below compares the current quarter and the three previous quarters' actual daily trading revenue (TEB) with the previous day's VaR measures.

During the quarter, trading revenue (TEB)was positive each day. The largest gain of $14.6 million occurred on January 22, 2013. It was attributable to the normal course of business within our capital markets group, notably in the equity derivatives business. Average daily trading revenue (TEB) was $3.4 million during the quarter and the average daily TEB was $1.5 million.

Non-trading activities

Interest rate risk

Non-trading interest rate risk consists primarily of risk inherent in asset/liability management activities and the activities of domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Interest rate risk 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. This optionality arises predominantly from the prepayment exposures of mortgage products, mortgage commitments and some GIC products with early redemption features; this optionality is measured consistent with our actual experience. A variety of cash instruments and derivatives, principally interest rate swaps, futures and options, are used to manage and control these risks.

The following table shows the potential impact over the next 12 months, adjusted for structural assumptions (excluding shareholders' equity), estimated prepayments and early withdrawals, of an immediate 100 and 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. In addition, we have a floor in place in the downward shock to accommodate for the current low interest rate environment (i.e. analysis uses the floor to stop interest rates from going into a negative position in the lower rate scenarios).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient cash resources to meet financial obligations as they fall due, in their full amount and stipulated currencies, without raising funds at adverse rates or selling assets on a forced basis.

Our liquidity risk management strategies seek to maintain sufficient liquid financial resources and diversified funding sources to continually fund our balance sheet and contingent obligations under both normal and stressed market environments.

Liquidity risk governance and management

The liquidity risk governance and management structure at CIBC comprises the Risk Management Committee of the Board (RMC), ALCO and the Office of the Treasurer.

The ongoing management of liquidity risk is the responsibility of the Treasurer, supported by guidance from ALCO. The RMC provides governance through approval of CIBC's liquidity risk framework that includes the policies, procedures, limits and independent monitoring structures. RMC's responsibilities include:

Defining CIBC's liquidity risk tolerance through the Risk Appetite Statement;
Establishing limits for the primary liquidity risk metric, the Liquidity Horizon, and unsecured wholesale funding;
Reviewing and approving the Liquidity Policy and the Contingency Funding Plan (CFP);
Reviewing and approving CIBC's liquidity profile; and
Reviewing and approving the liquidity stress scenario.

ALCO's responsibilities include:

Ensuring that CIBC's liquidity profile is managed consistent with the strategic, stated risk appetite and regulatory requirements;
Monitoring reporting and metrics relating to liquidity risk exposure, such as, Liquidity Horizon, funding profile and liquid asset portfolio;
Reviewing and setting the Liquidity Horizon management limit;
Reviewing, on a periodic basis, the liquidity stress scenario used to measure liquidity risk exposure; and
Reviewing and approving the funding plan.

The Treasurer is responsible for managing the activities and processes required for measurement, reporting and monitoring of CIBC's liquidity risk position and ensuring compliance within RMC, ALCO and regulatory constraints.

Policies

CIBC's liquidity policy and framework ensures a sufficient amount of unencumbered liquid assets are available to meet anticipated liquidity needs in both stable and stressed conditions for a minimum period of time as determined by the RMC.

Alongside the liquidity risk management framework, our enterprise-wide pledging policy sets out consolidated aggregate net maximum pledge limits for financial and non-financial assets. Pledged assets are considered encumbered and therefore unavailable for liquidity purposes.

CIBC maintains and periodically updates a detailed CFP for responding to liquidity stress events. The plan is presented annually to the RMC.

Process and control

CIBC manages liquidity risk in a manner that enables it to withstand a liquidity crisis without an adverse impact on the viability of its operations. Actual and anticipated inflows and outflows of funds generated from on- and off-balance sheet exposures are measured and monitored on a daily basis to ensure compliance with the established limits. Short-term asset and liability mismatch limits are set by geographic location and consolidated for overall global exposure. Contractual and behavioural on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet cash flows under normal and stressed conditions are modeled and used to determine liquidity levels to be maintained for a minimum time horizon.

The RMC is regularly informed of current and prospective liquidity conditions, ongoing monitoring measures and the implementation of enhanced measurement tools.

Risk measurement

CIBC's policy is to maintain a sound and prudent approach to managing its potential exposure to liquidity risk. CIBC's liquidity risk tolerance is defined by its Risk Appetite Statement, approved annually by the Board of Directors, which forms the basis for the delegation of liquidity risk authority to senior management. The primary liquidity risk metric used to measure and monitor CIBC's liquidity position is the Liquidity Horizon, the future point in time when projected cumulative cash outflows exceed cash inflows under a predefined liquidity stress scenario, without any reliance on the CFP. Our liquidity measurement system provides daily liquidity risk exposure reports that include the calculation of the Liquidity Horizon against the prescribed management target for review by senior management. CIBC's liquidity risk framework also incorporates the monitoring of the unsecured wholesale funding position and funding capacity, as well as regulatory mandated metrics such as the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Cumulative Cash Flow (NCCF). ALCO monitors CIBC's current and prospective liquidity position in relation to risk appetite and limits.

A key component of the liquidity risk framework at CIBC is the liquidity risk stress testing regime. Liquidity risk stress testing is conducted daily and involves the application of a severe, name-specific and market-wide stress scenario to determine the amount of liquidity required to satisfy anticipated obligations as they come due. The scenario models potential liquidity and funding requirements in the event of unsecured wholesale funding and deposit runoff, expected contingent liquidity utilization, as well as liquid asset marketability. In addition to this CIBC-specific event, the stress scenario incorporates the impact of market-wide liquidity stress that results in significant reduction in access to both short and long-term funding and a decrease in marketability and price of assets.

Stress scenario assumptions are subject to periodic review and approval, at least annually, by the RMC.

Liquid assets

CIBC's policy is to hold a pool of high quality unencumbered liquid assets that will be immediately available to meet outflows determined under the stress scenario. Liquid assets are cash, short-term bank deposits and high-quality marketable securities that can be readily pledged at central banks and in repo markets or converted into cash in a timely fashion. Encumbered assets include those liquid assets that have been pledged for collateral management purposes as well as restricted cash and deposits with banks.

Liquid assets net of encumbrances constitute our unencumbered pool of liquid assets, and are summarized in the following table:

		Jan. 31		Oct. 31

Unencumbered liquid assets	$	96,108	$	90,073

(1)							Certain information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.
(2)							Includes cash, non-interest bearing deposits and interest-bearing deposits with contractual maturities of less than 30 days.
(3)							Includes all trading, AFS and FVO securities other than the securities in our structured credit run-off business and private equity securities.
(4)							Reported in loans on our interim consolidated balance sheet.
(5)							Excludes interday pledges to the Bank of Canada related to the Large Value Transfer System as these are normally released to us at the end of the settlement cycle each day.

CIBC's unencumbered liquid asset position increased by $6.0 billion or 7% from October 31, 2012. The change was primarily due to increases in AFS, trading and NHA mortgage-backed securities, and a decrease in our obligations related to securities sold under repurchase agreements (included in encumbered liquid assets).

CIBC's total pledged assets, which include encumbered liquid assets presented in the table above, totalled $66.6 billion as at January 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012: $64.9 billion). These pledged assets are used primarily for securities lending and borrowing activities, secured borrowings, derivative transactions, and other clearing and settlement of payments and securities.

The following table summarizes unencumbered liquid assets held by CIBC parent bank and significant subsidiaries:

		Jan. 31		Oct. 31

	$	96,108	$	90,073

Restrictions on the flow of funds

CIBC has certain subsidiaries that have separate regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, as established by banking and securities regulators. Requirements of these entities are subject to regulatory change and can fluctuate depending on activity.

CIBC monitors and manages its capital and liquidity requirements across these entities to ensure that capital is used efficiently and that each entity is in compliance with local regulations.

Funding

CIBC manages liquidity to meet both short and long-term cash requirements. Reliance on short-term wholesale funding is maintained at prudent levels, consistent with CIBC's desired liquidity profile.

CIBC's funding strategy includes access to funding through retail deposits and wholesale funding and deposits. Personal deposits are a significant source of funding and totalled $119.1 billion as at January 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012: $118.2 billion). Our liquidity management framework applies deposit run-off assumptions, under a severe combined stress scenario, to determine core deposits.

CIBC's wholesale funding strategy is to develop and maintain a sustainable funding base through which CIBC can access funding across many different depositors and investors, geographies, maturities, and funding instruments. The diversity of our funding profile across all of these variables is an important part of our funding strategy. CIBC maintains access to term wholesale funding through many channels such as wholesale deposits in Canada and the U.S., medium-term note programs in Canada, the U.S. and Europe, through our covered bond programme, through credit card securitization in Canada and the U.S., and through a number of mortgage securitization programs, as outlined in the tables below.

The following table provides the contractual maturities at carrying values of funding sourced by CIBC from the wholesale market:

Funding plan

CIBC's funding plan horizon is three years and is updated at least quarterly, or in response to material changes in underlying assumptions. The plan incorporates projected assets and liability growth from CIBC's planning process, as well as expected funding maturities and inputs from the liquidity stress testing model. The funding plan is reviewed and approved by the ALCO.

Credit ratings

Access to wholesale funding sources and the cost of funds are dependent on various factors including credit ratings. On October 26, 2012, Moody's placed on review for downgrade the long-term debt and deposit ratings of six Canadian financial institutions including CIBC. Moody's cited as their principal concerns: (i) high consumer debt levels and elevated housing prices; (ii) system-wide downside risks to the economic environment; and (iii) their assessment of the risks inherent in the banks' capital markets activities. Subsequently, on January 28, 2013, Moody's downgraded the long-term credit ratings of six Canadian financial institutions, including CIBC, by one notch. CIBC's long-term rating was adjusted from Aa2 to Aa3 and has had no material impact on funding costs or our ability to access funding.

CIBC's funding and liquidity levels remained stable and sound over the quarter and we do not anticipate any events, commitments or demands which will materially impact our liquidity risk position.

Impact on collateral if there is a downgrade of CIBC's credit rating

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

		Jan. 31		Oct. 31
$ billions, as at		2013		2012
One-notch downgrade	$	0.1	$	0.1
Two-notch downgrade		1.2		1.5
Three-notch downgrade		2.3		2.6

Regulatory developments

There is ongoing cooperation between banks and regulators to implement BCBS liquidity standards, i.e., the LCR and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), which are scheduled for implementation in January 2015 and January 2018, respectively, in addition to other supplemental reporting metrics. In January 2013, BCBS released revisions to the LCR metric. We currently monitor the LCR for regulatory and internal reporting purposes and NSFR reporting is provided quarterly to OSFI. Our liquidity management framework integrates liquidity management principles and guidelines recommended by BCBS. OSFI sets out prudential considerations relating to the liquidity risk management programs of Canadian federally regulated deposit-taking institutions in its Guideline B-6, "Liquidity Principles". Significant revisions to the guideline went into effect in February 2012. BCBS guidelines are incorporated into this regulation, and in addition, the regulation requires us to measure liquidity risk using the NCCF test, and report compliance with NCCF requirements to our regulator.

Contractual obligations

Contractual obligations give rise to commitments of future payments affecting our short- and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. These obligations include financial liabilities, credit and liquidity commitments, and other contractual obligations.

Assets and liabilities

The following table provides the contractual maturity profile of our on-balance sheet assets and liabilities at their carrying values. CIBC models the behaviour of both assets and liabilities on a net cash flow basis by applying recommended regulatory stress assumptions against contractual maturities and contingent liability utilization, supplemented by business experience, to construct its behavioural balance sheet, which constitutes a key component of CIBC's liquidity risk management framework.

Certain information has been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current period.

CIBC's net asset position remained unchanged relative to October 31, 2012. The changes in the contractual maturity profile were primarily due to the natural migration of maturities and also reflect the impact of our regular business activities.

Credit and liquidity commitments

The following table provides the contractual maturity of notional amounts of credit, guarantee, and liquidity commitments should contracts be fully drawn upon and clients default. Since a significant portion of guarantees and commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total of the contractual amounts is not representative of future liquidity requirements.

(1)

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 timeframes.

(2)

As an investor in merchant banking activities, we enter into commitments to fund external private equity funds and investments in equity and debt securities at market value at the time the commitments are drawn. As the timing of future investment commitments is non-specific and callable by the counterparty, obligations have been included as less than one year.

(3)

Includes estimated minimum pension contributions, and expected benefit payments for post-retirement medical and dental plans, the long-term disability plan, and related medical and dental benefits for disabled employees. Subject to change as contribution decisions are affected by various factors, such as market performance, regulatory requirements, and management's ability to change funding policy. Also, funding requirements after 2013 are excluded due to the significant variability in the assumptions required to project the timing of future cash flows.

Strategic risk

Strategic risk arises from ineffective business strategies or the failure to effectively execute strategies. It includes, but is not limited to, potential financial loss due to the failure of acquisitions or organic growth initiatives.

Oversight of strategic risk is the responsibility of the SET and the Board. At least annually, the CEO presents CIBC's strategic planning process and CIBC's annual strategic business plan to the Board for review and approval. The Board reviews the plan in light of management's assessment of emerging market trends, the competitive environment, potential risks and other key issues.

One of the tools for measuring, monitoring and controlling strategic risk is attribution of economic capital against this risk. Our economic capital models include a strategic risk component for those businesses utilizing capital to fund an acquisition or a significant organic growth strategy.

Insurance risk

Insurance risk is the risk of a potential loss due to actual experience being different from that assumed in the design and pricing of an insurance product. Unfavourable actual experience could emerge due to adverse fluctuations in timing, size and frequency of actual claims (e.g. mortality, morbidity), policyholder behaviour (e.g. cancellation of coverage), or associated expenses.

Insurance contracts provide financial compensation to the beneficiary in the event of insured risk in exchange for premiums. We are exposed to insurance risk in our life insurance business and in our life reinsurance business within the respective subsidiaries.

Senior management of the insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries has primary responsibility for managing insurance risk with oversight by Risk Management. The insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries also have their own boards of directors, as well as independent Appointed Actuaries who provide additional input to risk management oversight. Processes and oversight are in place to manage the risk to our insurance business. Underwriting risk on business assumed is managed through risk policies that limit exposure to an individual life, to certain types of business and to countries.

CIBC's risk governance practices ensure strong independent oversight and control of risk within the insurance businesses. The subsidiaries' boards outline the internal risk and control structure to manage insurance risk which includes risk, capital and control policies, processes as well as limits and governance. Senior management of the insurance and reinsurance subsidiaries and Risk Management attend the subsidiaries' board meetings.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, systems, human error or external events.

Operational risks driven by people and processes are mitigated through human resources policies and practices, and operational procedural controls, respectively. Operational risks driven by systems are managed through controls over technology development and change management.

The Governance and Control Committee (GCC) provides oversight on operational risk matters and our internal control framework within the parameters and strategic objectives established by the SET. The SET is accountable to the Board and its Audit Committee and the RMC for maintaining a strong risk culture and internal control environment.

Operational risk management approach

We have developed a comprehensive framework supporting and governing the processes of identifying, assessing, managing, measuring, monitoring and reporting operational risks. Our approach to operational risk management focuses on mitigating operational losses by consistently applying and utilizing control-based approaches as well as risk-specific assessment tools. The transparency of information, timely escalation of key risk issues and clear accountability for issue resolution are major pillars of our approach. We also regularly review our risk governance structure to ensure that there is clarity and ownership of key risk areas.

We use a three lines of defence model to manage operational risk. Business lines are our first line of defence and have primary responsibility for the day-to-day management of operational risk inherent in their products and activities. Functionally independent governance groups, representing our second line of defence, are responsible for maintaining a robust operational risk management framework and providing operational risk oversight. Our third line of defence is Internal Audit who independently opines on the design and operating effectiveness of the controls that support our operational risk management program.

Managing operational risk

To identify and assess our operational risk exposures, we utilize numerous risk assessment tools, including risk and control self-assessments, scenario analyses, audit findings, internal and external loss event analyses, key risk indicators, change management approval processes (including approval of new initiatives and products) as well as comparative analyses.

In conducting risk assessments, we bring together subject matter experts from across the organization to share expertise and to identify improvements to risk identification, measurement, and control processes. Our operational risk management framework also requires risk assessments to undergo rigorous independent reviews and challenges from governance groups in their respective areas of expertise.

We continuously monitor our operational risk profile to ensure that any adverse changes are addressed in a timely manner. Tools such as key risk indicators are used to identify changes in our risk profile before the risks become acute. Our risk monitoring processes support a comprehensive risk reporting program to both senior management and the Board.

Our primary tool for mitigating our operational risk exposure is a robust internal control environment. Our internal control framework highlights critical internal controls across the bank which are subjected to ongoing testing and review to ensure that they are effective in mitigating our operational risk exposures. In addition, we maintain a corporate insurance program to provide additional protection from loss and a global business continuity management program to mitigate business continuity risks in the event of a disaster.

Risk measurement

We use the Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA), a risk-sensitive method prescribed by BCBS, to quantify our operational risk exposure in the form of operational risk regulatory capital. We determine operational risk capital using a loss distribution approach that uses outputs from our risk assessment tools, including actual internal loss experiences, loss scenarios based on internal/external loss data and management expertise, audit findings and the results of risk and control self-assessments.

Under AMA, we are permitted to recognize the risk mitigating impact of insurance in the measures of operational risk used for regulatory minimum capital requirements. Although our current insurance policies are tailored to provide earnings protection from potential high-severity losses, we do not reflect mitigation through insurance or any other risk transfer mechanism in our AMA model.

We attribute operational risk capital at the line of business level. Capital represents the "worst-case loss" within a 99.9% confidence level and is determined for each loss event type and production/infrastructure/corporate governance line of business. The aggregate risk of CIBC is less than the sum of the individual parts, as the likelihood that all business groups across all regions will experience a worst-case loss in every loss category in the same year is extremely low. To adjust for the fact that all risks are not 100% correlated, we incorporate a portfolio effect to ensure that the aggregated risk is representative of the total bank-wide risk. The process for determining correlations considers both internal and external historical correlations and takes into account the uncertainty surrounding correlation estimates.

The results of the capital calculations are internally backtested each quarter, and the overall methodology is independently validated by the Risk Management Validation group to ensure that the assumptions applied are reasonable and conservative.

For regulated subsidiaries, the basic indicator or standardized approaches are adopted as agreed with local regulators.

Reputation and legal risk

Our reputation and financial soundness are of fundamental importance to us and to our customers, shareholders and employees.

Reputation risk is the potential for negative publicity regarding our business conduct or practices which, whether true or not, could significantly harm our reputation as a leading financial institution, or could materially and adversely affect our business, operations or financial condition.

Legal risk is the potential for civil litigation or criminal or regulatory proceedings being commenced against CIBC that, once decided, could materially and adversely affect our business, operations or financial condition.

The RMC provides oversight of the management of reputation and legal risks. The identification, consideration and prudent, proactive management of potential reputation and legal risks is a key responsibility of CIBC and all of our employees.

Our Global Reputation and Legal Risks Policy sets standards for safeguarding our reputation and minimizing exposure to reputation and legal risks. The policy is supplemented by business procedures for identifying and escalating transactions to the Reputation and Legal Risk Committee that could pose material reputation risk and/or legal risk.

Regulatory risk

Regulatory risk is the risk of non-compliance with regulatory requirements. Non-compliance with these requirements may lead to regulatory sanctions and harm to our reputation.

Our regulatory compliance philosophy is to manage regulatory risk through the promotion of a strong compliance culture, and the integration of sound controls within the business and infrastructure groups. The foundation of this approach is a comprehensive Legislative Compliance Management (LCM) framework. The LCM framework maps regulatory requirements to internal policies, procedures and controls that govern regulatory compliance.

Our Compliance department is responsible for the development and maintenance of a comprehensive regulatory compliance program, including oversight of the LCM framework. The department is independent of business management and reports regularly to the Audit Committee.

Primary responsibility for compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements rests with senior management of the business and infrastructure groups, and extends to all employees. The Compliance department's activities support those groups, with particular emphasis on regulatory requirements that govern the relationship between CIBC and its clients that help protect the integrity of the capital markets.

Environmental risk

Environmental risk is the risk of financial loss or damage to reputation associated with environmental issues, whether arising from our credit and investment activities or related to our own operations. Our corporate environmental policy, originally approved by the Board in 1993 and most recently updated and approved by the RMC in 2011, commits CIBC to responsible conduct in all activities to protect and conserve the environment; safeguard the interests of all stakeholders from unacceptable levels of environmental risk; and support the principles of sustainable development.

The policy is addressed by an integrated Corporate Environmental Management Program which is under the overall management of the Environmental Risk Management (ERM) group in Risk Management. Environmental evaluations are integrated into our credit and investment risk assessment processes, with environmental risk management standards and procedures in place for all sectors. In addition, environmental and social risk assessments in project finance are required in accordance with our commitment to the Equator Principles, a voluntary set of guidelines for financial institutions based on the screening criteria of the International Finance Corporation, which we adopted in 2003. We also conduct ongoing research and benchmarking on environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity protection as they may pertain to responsible lending practices. We are also a signatory to and participant in the Carbon Disclosure Project, which promotes corporate disclosure to the investment community on greenhouse gas emissions and climate change management.

The ERM group works closely with Corporate Services, Marketing, Communications and Public Affairs, and other business and functional groups in ensuring that high standards of environmental due diligence and responsibility are applied in our facilities management, purchasing and other operations. An Environmental Management Committee is in place to provide oversight and to support these activities.

Accounting and control matters

Critical accounting policies and estimates

A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the 2012 Annual Report. Certain accounting policies require us to make judgments and estimates, some of which may relate to matters that are uncertain. The key management judgments and estimates remain substantially unchanged from those described on pages 69 to 74 of the 2012 Annual Report.

Valuation of financial instruments

Debt and equity trading securities, trading business and government loans, obligations related to securities sold short, derivative contracts, AFS securities and FVO financial instruments are carried at fair value. FVO financial instruments include certain debt securities, structured retail deposits and business and government deposits. Retail mortgage interest rate commitments are also designated as FVO financial instruments.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability at the measurement date in an orderly arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing market participants motivated by normal business considerations. Fair value measurements are categorized into levels within a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of the valuation inputs (Level 1, 2 or 3). We have an established and well-documented process for determining fair value. Fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market, where available (Level 1). If active market prices or quotes are not available for an instrument, fair value is then based on valuation models that utilize predominantly observable market inputs (Level 2) or one or more significant non-observable market inputs (Level 3). Estimating fair value requires the application of judgment. The type and level of judgment required is largely dependent on the amount of observable market information available. For instruments valued using internally developed models that use significant non-observable market inputs and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy, the judgment used to estimate fair value is more significant than when estimating the fair value of instruments classified within Levels 1 and 2. To ensure that valuations are appropriate, a number of policies and controls are put in place. Independent validation of fair value is performed at least on a monthly basis. Valuations are verified to external sources such as exchange quotes, broker quotes or other management-approved independent pricing sources.

The following table presents amounts, in each category of financial instruments, which are fair valued using valuation techniques based on predominantly non-observable market inputs (Level 3), for the structured credit run-off business and total consolidated CIBC. For further details of the valuation of and sensitivity associated with Level 3 financial assets and liabilities, see Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Fair value adjustments

We apply judgment in establishing valuation adjustments that take into account various factors that may have an impact on the valuation. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the bid-offer spread, illiquidity due to lack of market depth and other market risks, parameter uncertainty, model risk, credit risk, and future administration costs. During the fourth quarter of 2012, in order to reflect the observed market practice of pricing collateralized derivatives using the OIS curve, we amended our valuation approach to use OIS curves as the discount rate in place of LIBOR. Market practices continue to evolve concerning the use and construction of OIS curves that best reflect the nature of the underlying collateral.

The establishment of fair value adjustments and the determination of the amount of write-downs involve estimates that are based on accounting processes and judgments by management. We evaluate the adequacy of the fair value adjustments and the amount of write-downs on an ongoing basis. The levels of fair value adjustments and the amount of the write-downs could be changed as events warrant and may not reflect ultimate realizable amounts.

Allowance for credit losses

We establish and maintain an allowance for credit losses that is considered the best estimate of probable credit-related losses existing in our portfolio of on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, giving due regard to current conditions.

The allowance for credit losses consists of individual and collective components.

Individual allowances

The majority of our business and government loan portfolios are assessed on an individual loan basis. Individual allowances are established when impaired loans are identified within the individually assessed portfolios. A loan is classified as impaired when we are of the opinion that there is no longer a reasonable assurance of the full and timely collection of principal and interest. The individual allowance is the amount required to reduce the carrying value of an impaired loan to its estimated realizable amount. This is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate inherent in the loan.

Individual allowances are not established for portfolios that are collectively assessed, including most retail portfolios.

Collective allowances

Consumer and certain small business allowances

Residential mortgages, credit card loans, personal loans, and certain small business loan portfolios consist of large numbers of homogeneous balances of relatively small amounts, for which we take a portfolio approach to establish the collective allowance. As it is not practical to review each individual loan, we utilize a formula basis, by reference to historical ratios of write-offs to current accounts and balances in arrears. We also consider estimates of the time periods over which losses that are present would be identified and a provision taken, our view of current economic and portfolio trends, and evidence of credit quality improvements or deterioration. On a regular basis, the parameters that affect the allowance calculation are updated, based on our experience and the economic environment.

Business and government allowances

For groups of individually assessed loans for which no objective evidence of impairment has been identified on an individual basis, a collective allowance is provided for losses which we estimate are inherent in the portfolio at the reporting date, but not yet specifically identified from an individual assessment of the loan.

The methodology for determining the appropriate level of the collective allowance incorporates a number of factors, including the size of the portfolios, expected loss rates, and relative risk profiles. We also consider estimates of the time periods over which losses that are present would be identified and a provision taken, our view of current economic and portfolio trends, and evidence of credit quality improvements or deterioration. On a regular basis, the parameters that affect the collective allowance calculation are updated, based on our experience and the economic environment. Expected loss rates for business loan portfolios are based on the risk rating of each credit facility and on the probability of default (PD) factors associated with each risk rating, as well as estimates of loss given default (LGD). The PD factors reflect our historical loss experience and are supplemented by data derived from defaults in the public debt markets. Historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions. LGD estimates are based on our experience over past years.

For further details on allowance for credit losses, see Note 4 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Contingent liabilities and provision

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. 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 that the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our 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.

Amounts are accrued 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 within the range 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.

We regularly assess the adequacy of CIBC's litigation accruals and make the necessary adjustments to incorporate new information as it becomes available.

The following developments occurred during the quarter:

We recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note.
In Green v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, et al., the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal which will be heard in May 2013.
In Brown v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and CIBC World Markets Inc., the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court, which will be heard in February 2013.
In the mortgage prepayment class actions, the motion for class certification in Sherry v. CIBC Mortgages Inc. is scheduled to be heard in August 2013.
Four additional proposed class actions (Fuze Salon v. BofA Canada Bank, et al., 1023926 Alberta Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., The Crown & Hand Pub Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., Hello Baby Equipment Inc. v. BofA Canada Bank, et al.) were commenced in western Canada against VISA Canada Corporation (Visa), MasterCard International Incorporated (MasterCard), CIBC and numerous other financial institutions. The actions, brought on behalf of merchants who accepted payment by Visa or MasterCard from 2001 to present, allege two "separate, but interrelated" conspiracies; one in respect of Visa and one in respect of MasterCard. The claims allege that Visa and MasterCard conspired with their issuing banks to set default interchange rate and merchant discount fees and that certain rules (Honour All Cards and No Surcharge) have the effect of increasing the merchant discount fees. The claims allege civil conspiracy, violation of the Competition Act, interference with economic interests and unjust enrichment. The claims seek unspecified general and punitive damages. These matters are similar to previously filed and disclosed proposed class actions relating to default interchange rates and merchant discount fees.

Other than the items described above, there are no significant developments in the matters identified in Note 23 to our 2012 annual consolidated financial statements, and no significant new matters have arisen during the quarter ended January 31, 2013.

Asset impairment

As at January 31, 2013, we had goodwill of $1,700 million (October 31, 2012: $1,701 million) and other intangible assets with an indefinite life of $136 million (October 31, 2012: $136 million). Goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed, at least annually and when there are events or changes in circumstances to indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, for impairment by comparing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated, with the carrying amount of the CGU including goodwill, with any deficiency recognized as impairment to goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU is defined as the higher of its estimated fair value less cost to sell or value in use.

Acquired intangible assets are separately recognized if the benefits of the intangible assets are obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Determining the useful lives of intangible assets requires judgment and fact-based analysis. Intangibles with an indefinite life are not amortized but are assessed for impairment by comparing the recoverable amount to the carrying amount.

Long-lived assets and other identifiable intangibles with a definite life are amortized over their estimated useful lives. These assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is higher than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of its estimated fair value less cost to sell or value in use. In performing the review for recoverability, we estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.

We performed our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2012 and did not record any impairment at that time. During the quarter, there were no events or changes in circumstances to indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable and hence no further testing was conducted.

Income taxes

We are subject to income tax laws in the various jurisdictions where we operate, and the tax laws in those jurisdictions are potentially subject to different interpretations by us and the relevant taxation authority. We use judgment in the estimation of income taxes and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. As a result, management judgment is applied in the interpretation of the relevant tax laws and in estimating the provision for current and deferred income taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is determined for each temporary difference based on the tax rates that are expected to be in effect in the period that the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Where the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, no deferred tax amount is recognized.

As at January 31, 2013, we had a deferred income tax asset of $467 million (October 31, 2012: $457 million) and a deferred income tax liability of $36 million (October 31, 2012: $37 million). We are required to assess whether it is probable that our deferred income tax asset will be realized prior to its expiration and, based on all the available evidence, determine if any portion of our deferred income tax asset should not be recognized. The factors used to assess the probability of realization are our past experience of income and capital gains, forecast of future net income before taxes, available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred income tax asset, and the remaining expiration period of tax loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe, based on all the available evidence, it is probable that the remaining deferred income tax asset will be realized.

For further details on our income taxes, see Note 9 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Post-employment and other long-term benefit plans

We sponsor a number of benefit plans to eligible employees, including registered pension plans, supplemental pension plans, and health, dental, disability and life insurance plans. The pension plans provide benefits based on years of service, contributions and average earnings at retirement.

The calculation of net defined benefit plan expense and obligations depends on various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, expected rates of
return on assets, health-care cost trend rates, turnover of employees, projected salary increases, retirement age, and mortality rates. These assumptions are reviewed annually in accordance with accepted actuarial practice and are approved by management. The actuarial assumptions used for determining net defined benefit expense for a fiscal year are set at the beginning of the annual reporting period.

The discount rate assumption used in determining net defined benefit expense reflects market yields, as of the measurement date, on high-quality debt instruments with a currency and term to maturity that match the currency and expected timing of benefit payments. Our discount rate is estimated by developing a yield curve based on high-quality corporate bonds. While there is a deep market of high-quality corporate bonds denominated in Canadian dollars with short and medium terms to maturity, there is not a deep market in bonds with terms to maturity that match the timing of all the expected benefit payments for all of our Canadian plans. As a result, for our Canadian post-employment and other long-term benefit plans, we estimate the yields of high-quality corporate bonds with longer term maturities by extrapolating current yields on bonds with short and medium-term durations along the yield curve. Judgment is required in constructing the yield curve, and, as a result, different methodologies applied in constructing the yield curve can give rise to different discount rates.

For further details on post-employment benefit plan expense, see Note 8 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Controls and procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

CIBC's management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as at January 31, 2013, of CIBC's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators) and has 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, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

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 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. There are no accounting requirements of OSFI that are exceptions to IFRS. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements". These interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2012, as set out on pages 84 to 176 of the 2012 Annual Report. All amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2013.

(1)

Comprises FVO deposits of $1,518 million (October 31, 2012: $1,488 million), FVO secured borrowings of $362 million (October 31, 2012: $365 million), bifurcated embedded derivatives of $252 million (October 31, 2012: $184 million), FVO other liabilities of $7 million (October 31, 2012: $3 million), and other financial liabilities measured at fair value of $50 million (October 31, 2012: $40 million).

During the quarter, we transferred $12 million of certain bifurcated embedded derivatives from Level 3 to Level 2 due to availability of market observable inputs.

The net gain recognized in the interim consolidated statement of income on the financial instruments, for which fair value was estimated using valuation techniques requiring non-observable market parameters, for the quarter ended January 31, 2013 was $47 million (a net gain of $74 million and $23 million for the quarters ended October 31, 2012 and January 31, 2012, respectively.)

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.

Sensitivity of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities

Valuation techniques using predominantly non-observable market inputs are used for a number of financial instruments including our structured credit run-off business.

Asset-backed securities (ABS) are sensitive to credit spreads, which we consider to be a non-observable market input.

AFS privately issued equity and debt securities are sensitive to non-observable assumptions and inputs such as projected cash flow and earnings multiples.

FVO deposits that are not managed as part of our structured credit run-off business are sensitive to non-observable credit spreads, which are derived using extrapolation and correlation assumptions.

Certain bifurcated embedded derivatives, due to the complexity and unique structure of the instruments, require significant assumptions and judgment to be applied to both the inputs and valuation techniques, which we consider to be non-observable.

The effect of changing one or more of the assumptions used to fair value these instruments to reasonably possible alternatives would impact net income or OCI as described below.

Our unhedged non-U.S. residential mortgage market (USRMM) structured credit positions are sensitive to changes in mark-to-market (MTM), generally as derived from indicative broker quotes and internal models. A 10% adverse change in MTM of the underlyings would result in losses of approximately $72 million, excluding unhedged non-USRMM positions classified as loans which are carried at amortized cost.

For our hedged positions, there are two categories of sensitivities; the first relates to our hedged loan portfolio and the second relates to our hedged fair valued exposures. Since on-balance sheet hedged loans are carried at amortized cost whereas the related credit derivatives are fair valued, a 10% increase in the MTM of credit derivatives in our hedged structured credit positions would result in a net gain of approximately $5 million, assuming current credit valuation adjustment (CVA) ratios remain unchanged. A 10% reduction in the MTM of our on-balance sheet fair valued exposures and a 10% increase in the MTM of all credit derivatives in our hedged structured credit positions would result in a net loss of approximately $19 million, assuming current CVA ratios remain unchanged.

The impact of a 10% increase in the MTM of unmatched credit derivatives, where we have purchased protection but do not have exposure to the underlying, would result in no significant gain or loss, assuming current CVA ratios remain unchanged.

The impact of a 10% reduction in receivables, net of CVA from financial guarantors, would result in a net loss of approximately $23 million.

A 10% reduction in the MTM of our on-balance sheet ABS that are valued using non-observable credit and liquidity spreads would result in a decrease in OCI of approximately $55 million.

A 10% reduction in the MTM of our AFS privately issued equity and debt securities that are valued using non-observable inputs such as projected cash flows and earnings multiples, would result in a decrease in OCI of approximately $66 million.

A 10% reduction in the MTM of certain FVO deposits which are not managed as part of our structured credit run-off business and are valued using non-observable inputs, including correlation assumptions and extrapolated credit spreads, would result in a gain of approximately $5 million.

A 10% reduction in the MTM of certain bifurcated embedded derivatives, valued using internally vetted valuation techniques and correlation assumptions, would result in a gain of approximately $12 million.

FVO liabilities

The impacts of changes in CIBC's own credit risk on our outstanding FVO liabilities were gains of $1 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2013 and less than $1 million cumulatively (losses of less than $1 million for the quarter ended January 31, 2012 and cumulatively).

As at January 31, 2013, the total contractual settlement amount of the FVO deposits was $12 million lower (October 31, 2012: $5 million lower) than its fair value.

2. Significant disposition

Private wealth management (Asia)

On January 25, 2013, CIBC sold its stand-alone Hong Kong and Singapore-based private wealth management business. This niche advisory and brokerage business, which was included in International banking within Corporate and Other, provided private banking services to a small number of high-net-worth individuals in the Asia-Pacific region and had assets under management of approximately $2 billion. As a result, CIBC recognized a gain, net of associated expenses, of $16 million ($16 million after-tax) during the quarter. CIBC's other businesses in Asia are unaffected by this transaction.

As at January 31, 2013, the amortized cost of 117 AFS securities that are in a gross unrealized loss position (October 31, 2012: 100 securities) exceeded their fair value by $51 million (October 31, 2012: $48 million). The securities that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for more than a year include 3 AFS securities (October 31, 2012: 6 securities), with a gross unrealized loss of less than $1 million (October 31, 2012: less than $1 million).

Reclassification of financial instruments

In October 2008, amendments made to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" permitted certain trading financial assets to be reclassified to loans and receivables and AFS in rare circumstances. As a result of these amendments, we reclassified certain securities to loans and receivables and AFS with effect from July 1, 2008. During the quarter ended January 31, 2013, we have not reclassified any securities.

The following tables show the carrying values, fair values, and income or loss impact of the assets reclassified:

The effective interest rates on trading securities previously reclassified to AFS ranged from 3% to 13% with expected recoverable cash flows of $1.2 billion as of their reclassification date. The effective interest rates on trading assets previously reclassified to loans and receivables ranged from 4% to 10% with expected recoverable cash flows of $7.9 billion as of their reclassification date.

5. Structured entities and derecognition of financial assets

Structured entities

Structured entities are entities that have been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. Structured entities include special purpose entities which are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well-defined objective.

We consolidate a structured entity when the substance of the relationship indicates that we control the structured entity.

Details of our consolidated and non-consolidated structured entities are provided on pages 117 and 118 of the 2012 Annual Report.

With respect to our Covered Bond Programme as at January 31, 2013, $14.6 billion of mortgages with a fair value of $14.7 billion (October 31, 2012: $14.6 billion with a fair value of $14.7 billion) supported associated covered bond liabilities of $13.8 billion with a fair value of $13.9 billion (October 31, 2012: $13.9 billion with a fair value of $14.0 billion).

With respect to Cards II Trust and Broadway Trust entities as at January 31, 2013, $6.0 billion of credit card receivable assets with a fair value of $6.0 billion (October 31, 2012: $5.0 billion with a fair value of $5.0 billion) supported associated funding liabilities of $6.0 billion with a fair value of $6.0 billion (October 31, 2012: $4.9 billion with a fair value of $5.0 billion).

As at January 31, 2013, there were $1.5 billion (October 31, 2012: $1.6 billion) of total assets in our non-consolidated multi-seller conduits. Our on-balance sheet amounts and maximum exposure to loss related to structured entities that are not consolidated are set out in the table below. The maximum exposure comprises the carrying value of unhedged investments, the notional amounts for liquidity and credit facilities, and the notional amounts less accumulated fair value losses for unhedged written credit derivatives on structured entity reference assets. The impact of CVA is not considered in the table below.

(2)										Does not include over-collateralization of assets pledged.
(3)										Excludes third-party pledged assets.

Additionally, we securitized $23.8 billion with a fair value of $23.9 billion (October 31, 2012: $22.7 billion with a fair value of $22.8 billion) of mortgages that were not transferred to external parties.

Enron
In prior years, the Canada Revenue Agency issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of approximately $3 billion of the 2005 Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses. The matter is currently in litigation and on December 21, 2011 (and reconfirmed on July 5, 2012), in connection with a motion by CIBC to strike the Crown's replies, the Tax Court of Canada struck certain portions of the replies and directed the Crown to submit amended replies. Both the Crown and CIBC appealed the ruling to the Federal Court of Appeal, and the appeal was heard on November 21, 2012. A decision has not yet been rendered.

11. Contingent liabilities and provision

We regularly assess the adequacy of CIBC's litigation accruals and make the necessary adjustments to incorporate new information as it becomes available.

The following developments occurred during the quarter:

We recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note.
In Green v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, et al., the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal which will be heard in May 2013.
In Brown v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and CIBC World Markets Inc., the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court, which will be heard in February 2013.
In the mortgage prepayment class actions, the motion for class certification in Sherry v. CIBC Mortgages Inc. is scheduled to be heard in August 2013.
Four additional proposed class actions (Fuze Salon v. BofA Canada Bank, et al., 1023926 Alberta Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., The Crown & Hand Pub Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., Hello Baby Equipment Inc. v. BofA Canada Bank, et al.) were commenced in western Canada against VISA Canada Corporation (Visa), MasterCard International Incorporated (MasterCard), CIBC and numerous other financial institutions. The actions, brought on behalf of merchants who accepted payment by Visa or MasterCard from 2001 to present, allege two "separate, but interrelated" conspiracies; one in respect of Visa and one in respect of MasterCard. The claims allege that Visa and MasterCard conspired with their issuing banks to set default interchange rate and merchant discount fees and that certain rules (Honour All Cards and No Surcharge) have the effect of increasing the merchant discount fees. The claims allege civil conspiracy, violation of the Competition Act, interference with economic interests and unjust enrichment. The claims seek unspecified general and punitive damages. These matters are similar to previously filed and disclosed proposed class actions relating to default interchange rates and merchant discount fees.

12. Segmented information

CIBC has three strategic business units (SBUs) - Retail and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Wholesale Banking. These SBUs are supported by six functional groups - Technology and Operations, Corporate Development, Finance, Treasury, Administration, and Risk Management, which form part of Corporate and Other. The revenue, expenses and balance sheet resources of these functional groups are generally allocated to the business lines within the SBUs. Corporate and Other also includes our International banking operations comprising mainly FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited, strategic investments in the CIBC Mellon joint ventures and The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited, and other income statement and balance sheet items not directly attributable to the business lines.
