Canadian Western Bank today announced solid second quarter financial performance led by strong earnings growth. Compared to the same quarter last year, net income available to common shareholders of $51.2 million was up 19%, while diluted earnings per common share increased 17% to $0.63. Adjusted cash earnings per common share, which excludes the after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and non-tax deductible changes in fair value of contingent consideration, increased 18% to $0.65. Total revenues (teb) of $153.5 million increased 13%, reflecting the positive impact of strong 12% loan growth and a 27% increase in other income, partially offset by a two basis point decline in net interest margin (teb) to 2.59%.
Compared to last quarter, net income available to common shareholders decreased 3% as the benefits of 3% loan growth, 4% higher other income and a lower provision for credit losses were offset by three fewer revenue earning days, a decline of five basis points in net interest margin (teb), higher non-interest expenses and a one-time increase in preferred share dividends. Adjusted cash earnings per share was also down 3%.
Year-to-date net income available to common shareholders of $103.8 million increased 17% as the benefit of strong growth in loans and other income was partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and preferred share dividends, while net interest margin (teb) was unchanged. Diluted and adjusted cash earnings per share each increased 16%, to reach $1.29 and $1.31, respectively.
"Our targeted, client-focused strategy continues to deliver solid performance for CWB Group shareholders," said Chris Fowler, President and CEO. "Growth in second quarter net income available to common shareholders of 19% is a very positive result, and our strong year-to-date loan growth and promising pipeline for new loans are very encouraging. Overall, we continue to maintain an optimistic outlook for the remainder of the year, even though pressure on net interest margin remains."
"Our capital structure was enhanced with this quarter's issuance of $125 million of Basel III-compliant preferred shares to replace our $209 million of higher cost preferred shares issued in 2009," continued Mr. Fowler. "This more efficient capital structure and a lower overall cost of capital will have a significant positive impact on future earnings per share and reinforce our solid foundation for future growth."
On June 4, 2014, CWB's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable on June 26, 2014 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2014. This quarterly dividend was 11% ($0.02) higher than the quarterly dividend declared one year ago and 5% ($0.01) higher than the prior quarter. The Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.275 per Series 5 Preferred Share, payable on July 31, 2014 to shareholders of record on July 24, 2014.

- Year-to-date performance for adjusted cash earnings per common share and total revenue growth (teb) is the current year results over the same period last year.
- Adjusted cash earnings per common share is calculated as diluted earnings per common share excluding the after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the non-tax deductible change in fair value of contingent consideration (which represent non-cash charges that are not considered indicative of ongoing business performance).
- Loan growth is the increase over the past twelve months.
- Year-to-date provision for credit losses, annualized, divided by average total loans.
- Efficiency ratio (teb) is calculated as non-interest expenses divided by total revenues (teb) excluding the non-tax deductible change in fair value of contingent consideration.
- Return on common shareholders' equity is calculated as annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average common shareholders' equity.
- Return on assets is calculated as annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average total assets.
Performance through the first half of the year has CWB positioned to achieve full-year financial results within all of our target ranges. Performance for loan growth, adjusted cash earnings per share and total revenues was driven by ongoing activity across our key lending sectors in each geographic region. Year-to-date net interest margin (teb) was unchanged compared to last year, as the impact of lower loan yields was offset by more favourable fixed term deposit and debenture costs and lower average liquidity. Meaningful improvement in this key metric is not expected in the absence of increases in the prime lending interest rate and/or a sustained steepening of the yield curve. The 2014 target for the efficiency ratio remains challenging but attainable as revenue growth through the remainder of the year is expected to offset the impact of higher non-interest expenses from an increased staff complement and ongoing initiatives to support business growth. Overall credit quality remains stable and supports our view that the annual provision for credit losses will remain near the low end of the target range.
During the quarter, we issued $125 million of 4.40% non-cumulative five-year rate reset Series 5 preferred shares and, on April 30th, redeemed the outstanding $209 million of 7.25% non-cumulative five-year rate reset Series 3 preferred shares. These transactions will have a positive impact on future growth in net income available to common shareholders and adjusted cash earnings per share, although the timing of the new preferred share issuance led to the second quarter payment of dividends on both series. As a result, year-to-date preferred share dividend payments were $1.2 million, approximately $0.01 per share, higher than last year.
The outlook for the Canadian economy is positive and economic fundamentals within CWB's key western Canadian markets remain particularly strong. Steady job creation in the western provinces continues to support very strong in-migration and overall employment conditions have remained stable. Supply and demand in the Canadian housing sector appear to be roughly in balance, however, we continue to carefully monitor market dynamics within specific geographic regions. Economic growth in the United States (U.S.) is expected to accelerate on the basis of escalating demand for goods and services, although moderation in the housing recovery is apparent in certain regions. On the basis of expectations for ongoing stability in the U.S. and global markets, consensus forecasts call for improved expansion within the domestic economy in 2014 and 2015, supporting our optimistic outlook for continued profitable growth.

- Effective November 1, 2013, CWB retrospectively adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements as described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements.
- Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the average number of common shares outstanding.
- Diluted EPS is calculated as net income available to common shareholders divided by the average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options.
- Adjusted cash EPS is diluted EPS excluding the after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the non-tax deductible change in fair value of contingent consideration. These exclusions represent non-cash charges and are not considered indicative of ongoing business performance.
- Return on common shareholders' equity is calculated as annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average common shareholders' equity.
- bp - basis point change.
- Return on assets is calculated as annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average total assets.
- Efficiency ratio is calculated as non-interest expenses divided by total revenues excluding the non-tax deductible change in fair value of contingent consideration.
- Net interest margin is calculated as annualized net interest income divided by average total assets.
- Capital adequacy is calculated in accordance with Basel III guidelines issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI).
Taxable Equivalent Basis (teb)
Most banks analyze revenue on a taxable equivalent basis to permit uniform measurement and comparison of net interest income. Net interest income (as presented in the consolidated statement of income) includes tax-exempt income on certain securities. Since this income is not taxable, the rate of interest or dividends received is significantly lower than would apply to a loan or security of the same amount. The adjustment to taxable equivalent basis increases interest income and the provision for income taxes to what they would have been had the tax-exempt securities been taxed at the statutory rate. The taxable equivalent basis does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions. Total revenues, net interest income and income taxes are discussed on a taxable equivalent basis throughout this quarterly report to shareholders.
Non-IFRS Measures
CWB uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance. These measures provide readers with an enhanced understanding of how management views the results. Non-IFRS measures may also provide readers the ability to analyze trends and provide comparisons with our competitors. Taxable equivalent basis, adjusted cash earnings per common share, return on common shareholders' equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, net interest margin, common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital adequacy ratios, and average balances do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions.
Management's Discussion and Analysis
This management's discussion and analysis (MD&A), dated June 4, 2014, should be read in conjunction with Canadian Western Bank's (CWB) unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2014, and the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2013, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and CWB's website at www.cwb.com.
Forward-looking Statements
From time to time, CWB makes written and verbal forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included in the Annual Report and reports to shareholders and may be included in filings with Canadian securities regulators or in other communications such as press releases and corporate presentations. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about CWB's objectives and strategies, targeted and expected financial results and the outlook for CWB's businesses or for the Canadian or U.S. economy. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "may increase", "may impact" and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "should", "would" and "could."
By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond CWB's control, may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, general business and economic conditions in Canada including the volatility and lack of liquidity in financial markets, fluctuations in interest rates and currency values, changes in monetary policy, changes in economic and political conditions, regulatory and legal developments, the level of competition in CWB's markets, the occurrence of weather-related and other natural catastrophes, changes in accounting standards and policies, the accuracy of and completeness of information CWB receives about customers and counterparties, the ability to attract and retain key personnel, the ability to complete and integrate acquisitions, reliance on third parties to provide components of CWB's business infrastructure, changes in tax laws, technological developments, unexpected changes in consumer spending and saving habits, timely development and introduction of new products, and management's ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors. It is important to note that the preceding list is not exhaustive of possible factors.
These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause CWB's actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward looking statements. Unless required by securities law, CWB does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or verbal, that may be made from time to time by it or on its behalf.
Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian economy in 2014 and how it will affect CWB's businesses are material factors considered when setting organizational objectives and targets. Performance target ranges for fiscal 2014 consider the following management assumptions: a modest acceleration of economic growth in Canada and relatively stronger performance in the four western provinces; prices for energy and other commodities remaining at levels comparable with those observed at October 31, 2013; sound credit quality with actual losses remaining within CWB's historical range of acceptable levels; and, a relatively stable net interest margin (teb) compared to the prior year, attributed to favourable deposit costs and shifts in asset mix that help to offset impacts from the very low interest rate environment and competitive factors. Management's assumptions at the end of the second quarter remained relatively unchanged compared to those at the 2013 fiscal year end.
Potential risks that would have a material adverse impact on current economic expectations and forecasts include a slowing rate of economic growth in the U.S., a significant and sustained deterioration in Canadian residential real estate prices, or a significant disruption in other global economies. Unexpected pricing competition and/or disruptions in domestic or global financial markets that meaningfully impact the costs of overall deposit funding may also contribute to adverse financial results compared to expectations.
Overview
CWB reported solid financial performance including strong loan growth of 12% over the past twelve months, 3% in the quarter and 7% year-to-date.
Q2 2014 vs. Q2 2013
Net income available to common shareholders of $51.2 million was up 19% as the benefit of strong loan growth, higher other income and a lower provision for credit losses more than offset a two basis point decrease in net interest margin (teb) and higher non-interest expenses. Other income increased 27% primarily reflecting a significant increase in trust and wealth management revenues, as well as higher net gains on securities and credit related fee income. Diluted earnings per common share was up 17% to $0.63. Despite the payment of dividends on both Series 3 and Series 5 preferred shares this quarter, adjusted cash earnings per common share, which excludes the after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and non-tax deductible changes in fair value of contingent consideration, increased 18% to $0.65.
Q2 2014 vs. Q1 2014
Net income available to common shareholders was 3% lower as the positive revenue impact of strong loan growth and higher other income, as well as a lower provision for credit losses, was offset by three fewer revenue-earning days, lower net interest margin (teb), higher non-interest expenses and a one-time increase in preferred share dividends.
YTD 2014 vs. YTD 2013
Net income available to common shareholders of $103.8 million was up 17% as growth in total revenues (teb) of 13% more than offset the one-time increase in preferred share dividends and higher non-interest expenses. Higher total revenues were driven by an 11% increase in net interest income (teb) and 27% higher other income. The year-to-date net interest margin (teb) of 2.61% was unchanged. Adjusted cash earnings per share increased 16% to $1.31.
ROE and ROA
Second quarter return on common shareholders' equity (ROE) was 14.3% compared to 14.7% last quarter and 13.4% last year. Year-to-date ROE of 14.5% was 70 basis points higher than last year. Return on assets (ROA) of 1.07% was down four basis points from last quarter and up seven basis points compared to a year earlier. Year-to-date ROA of 1.09% compares to 1.03% last year.
Issuance of First Preferred Shares Series 5 and Redemption of First Preferred Shares Series 3
As previously reported, CWB closed its domestic public offering of five million Basel III-compliant non-cumulative five-year rate reset Series 5 preferred shares for gross proceeds of $125 million during the second quarter. Holders of these shares are entitled to receive a non-cumulative fixed dividend in the amount of $1.10 annually, payable quarterly, for the initial period ending April 30, 2019. The quarterly dividend represented an annual yield of 4.40% at issuance, based on the $25.00 issue price per share. CWB also redeemed, on April 30, 2014, $209 million of outstanding 7.25% Series 3 preferred shares.
These transactions will benefit shareholders through a more efficient capital structure while ensuring CWB remains well capitalized within the Basel III regulatory capital framework.
Total Revenues (teb)
Total revenues, comprised of both net interest income (teb) and other income, of $153.5 million were 13% higher than the same quarter in 2013 and relatively unchanged from the previous quarter. Year-to-date total revenues of $307.3 million were up 13% compared to last year.
Net Interest Income (teb)
Q2 2014 vs. Q2 2013
Net interest income of $123.7 million was up 11% as the revenue contribution from strong 12% loan growth more than offset a two basis point decline in net interest margin (teb) to 2.59%. The change in net interest margin mainly resulted from lower loan yields, partially offset by more favourable fixed term deposit and debenture costs.
Q2 2014 vs. Q1 2014
Net interest income was down 1% as the benefit of strong 3% loan growth was offset by three fewer days and a five basis point decrease in net interest margin (teb). The decline in net interest margin primarily resulted from lower loan yields and higher average liquidity.
YTD 2014 vs. YTD 2013
Net interest income of $249.0 million was up 11%, mainly the result of strong loan growth. Net interest margin (teb) of 2.61% was unchanged as lower loan yields were offset by more favourable fixed term deposit and debenture costs and lower average liquidity.
Interest rate sensitivity
Note 14 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements summarizes CWB's exposure to interest rate risk as at April 30, 2014. The estimated sensitivity of net interest income to a change in interest rates is presented in the table below. The amounts represent the estimated change in net interest income that would result over the following twelve months from a one-percentage point change in interest rates. The estimates are based on a number of assumptions and factors, which include:
- a constant structure in the interest sensitive asset and liability portfolios;
- interest rate changes affecting interest sensitive assets and liabilities by proportionally the same amount, except floor levels for various deposit liabilities, and applied at the appropriate repricing dates; and,
- no early redemptions.

Higher sensitivity to a decrease in rates is due to asymmetry in the impact of falling rates on loans and deposits. A decrease of one-percentage point in rates is assumed to reduce loan yields by an equivalent amount. The assumed change in total deposit costs is lower because deposits yielding less than one percent cannot be reduced to a rate lower than zero.
In addition to the projected changes in net interest income noted above, it is estimated that a one-percentage point increase in all interest rates at April 30, 2014 would decrease unrealized gains related to available-for-sale securities and the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedges, and result in a reduction in other comprehensive income of approximately $14.6 million, net of tax (April 30, 2013 - $9.5 million). It is estimated that a one-percentage point decrease in all interest rates at April 30, 2014 would have the opposite effect, increasing other comprehensive income by approximately $14.6 million, net of tax (April 30, 2013 - $9.5 million).
Management maintains the asset liability structure and interest rate sensitivity within CWB's established policies through pricing and product initiatives, as well as the use of interest rate swaps and other appropriate strategies.
Outlook for net interest margin
Second quarter net interest margin (teb) was two basis points lower than the same quarter last year, down five basis points from the previous quarter, and unchanged on a year-to-date basis. Meaningful improvement in net interest margin (teb) from the current level is not expected in the absence of increases in the prime lending interest rate and/or a sustained steepening of the interest rate curve. CWB will maintain its long-term strategic focus on mitigating the earnings impact of ongoing margin pressure through efforts to achieve stronger relative growth in higher yielding loan portfolios with an acceptable risk profile, improving the funding mix to lower the overall cost of funds, prudently managing liquidity levels and increasing contributions from other income sources.
Other Income
Q2 2014 vs. Q2 2013
Other income of $29.8 million was up 27% ($6.4 million) mainly due to increases in trust and wealth management revenues, net gains on securities, credit related fee income and the "other" category of other income, partially offset by lower net insurance income. Higher wealth management revenue primarily reflects the third quarter 2013 acquisition of McLean & Partners. Higher net gains on securities reflect strategic management of the portfolio in view of favourable equity and bond market conditions. Based on the level of gains realized and the current composition of the securities portfolio, quarterly net gains on securities are expected to be lower through the remainder of the year although equity and bond market conditions are inherently unpredictable in the short-term. The 'other' category of other income was up $0.8 million, mainly due to a gain on the sale of $25 million of conventional residential mortgages.
Q2 2014 vs. Q1 2014
Other income was up 4% ($1.3 million) primarily reflecting a $0.9 million increase in the 'other' category of other income and higher trust revenues, offset by slightly lower net insurance revenues and net gains on securities. The increase in 'other' other income reflects the sale of residential mortgages discussed above.
YTD 2014 vs. YTD 2013
Other income was up 27% ($12.6 million), reflecting increases across all categories with the exception of 'other' other income. A significant $6.7 million increase in trust and wealth management revenues accounted for over half of the overall increase, with higher net gains on securities and credit related fee income also contributing. Increases in these categories mainly reflect the factors discussed above under the heading Q2 2014 vs. Q2 2013.
Credit Quality
Overall credit quality reflects continued strong underwriting practices and relatively stable levels of economic activity in Western Canada. The dollar level of gross impaired loans at April 30, 2014 represented 0.30% of total loans at quarter end, compared to 0.33% last quarter and 0.41% one year ago.

- Gross impaired loans include foreclosed assets held for sale with a carrying value of $4,157 (January 31, 2014 - $5,014 and April 30, 2013 - $7,256).
- bp - basis point change.
- Total number of accounts excludes National Leasing.
- Total loans do not include an allocation for credit losses or deferred revenue and premiums.
The level of gross impaired loans fluctuates as loans become impaired and are subsequently resolved, and does not directly reflect the dollar value of expected write-offs given tangible security held in support of lending exposures. The reduction in gross impaired loans compared to both the prior quarter and last year mainly resulted from write-offs in the current period, coupled with pay downs and loans returned to performing status. Management expects gross impaired loans to increase from the current very low level reflecting normal fluctuations of the credit cycle.
Specific allowances for expected write-offs are established through detailed analyses of both the overall quality and ultimate marketability of the security held against impaired accounts. Actual credit losses are expected to remain within CWB's historical range of acceptable levels. As at April 30, 2014, the collective allowance for credit losses exceeded the balance of impaired loans, net of specific allowances. The total allowance for credit losses (collective and specific) represented 176% of gross impaired loans at quarter end, compared to 169% last quarter and 129% one year ago. The total allowance for credit losses was $89.0 million at April 30, 2014, compared to $91.4 million last quarter and $79.5 million a year earlier.
The quarterly provision for credit losses measured against average loans was 16 basis points, three basis points lower than both the same quarter last year and the prior quarter. On a year-to-date basis, the provision for credit losses measured against average loans was unchanged from last year at 18 basis points. Based on the current environment and expectations for credit quality looking forward, management expects the annual provision for credit losses will remain at the low end of the 2014 target range of 18 to 23 basis points.
Non-interest Expenses
One of management's key priorities is to deliver strong long-term growth through strategic investment in people, technology, infrastructure and other areas while maintaining effective control of costs. This strategy is aligned with a commitment to maximize long-term shareholder value and expected to provide material benefits in future periods. Work toward implementation of a new core banking system has proceeded on time and on budget through the end of the second quarter. Current plans estimate completion of this very significant technology project in 2015 based on a capital budget of $50 million. Upgrades and expansion of branch infrastructure are also ongoing, as evidenced by this quarter's relocation of CWB's flagship Edmonton Main Branch to significantly expanded premises. Compliance with an increasing level of regulatory rules and oversight for all Canadian banks requires the investment of both time and resources, which further contributes to higher non-interest expenses.
Q2 2014 vs. Q2 2013
Quarterly non-interest expenses of $70.6 million were up 9% ($5.8 million) primarily due to higher salaries and benefits, and premises and equipment expense. Of the total increase in non-interest expenses, 33% reflects the addition of McLean & Partners. The change in salaries and benefits, excluding McLean & Partners, mainly resulted from higher full-time salary expense associated with annual salary increments and a larger staff complement to support ongoing growth across all businesses. Premises and equipment expense was 10% higher primarily reflecting increased rent expense and direct computer costs.
Q2 2014 vs. Q1 2014
Non-interest expenses were up 2%. Increases in benefit costs, direct computer costs and premises expense were partially offset by lower maintenance and salary expense. The sequential decrease in salaries reflects lower stock based compensation charges.
YTD 2014 vs. YTD 2013
Non-interest expenses of $140.1 million were 10% ($13.2 million) higher than the prior year, primarily as a result of increases in salaries and benefits, premises and equipment, and general expenses. Of the total increase in non-interest expenses, 27% reflects the addition of McLean & Partners. Higher salaries and benefits, and premises and equipment expense reflect the factors discussed above under the heading Q2 2014 vs. Q2 2013. The change in general expenses was driven by higher regulatory costs, the impact of a higher CWB common share price on Deferred Share Units (DSUs) for directors, and expenses related to this quarter's issuance of preferred shares.
Efficiency ratio
The second quarter efficiency ratio (teb), which measures non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenues (teb), was 46.0%, compared to 47.9% last year and 45.1% in the previous quarter. Improved efficiency compared to last year reflects the revenue benefit of strong growth in loans and other income, partially offset by slightly lower net interest margin (teb). The change compared to the prior quarter mainly reflects three fewer revenue earning days combined with the impact on total revenues of lower net interest margin (teb). Improvement in the year-to-date efficiency ratio, from 46.9% last year to 45.5% this year, reflects the combined benefits of strong total revenue growth and effective cost control. Based on year-to-date performance and in consideration of expected revenues and planned expenditures through the rest of the year, management believes the 2014 efficiency ratio target of 46% or better is challenging but attainable.
Income Taxes
The second quarter effective income tax rate (teb) was 26.2%, compared to 26.5% last year. The effective income tax rate (teb) for the first six months of 2014 was 26.1%, compared to 26.4% last year.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income (OCI), all net of income taxes, and totaled $67.0 million for the second quarter, compared to $46.7 million last year.
The increase in second quarter comprehensive income was driven by a significant increase in OCI and higher net income. The increase in OCI mainly resulted from higher unrealized gains, net of tax, from changes in fair value of available-for-sale securities, which was driven by the net effect of increased market values of securities and the realization of gains and losses within CWB's portfolios of common and preferred equities. While the combined dollar investment in these portfolios is relatively small in relation to total liquid assets, it increases the potential for comparatively larger fluctuations in OCI. Year-to-date comprehensive income of $122.4 million compares to $99.6 million last year. The increase in year-to-date comprehensive income was mainly the result of higher net income and OCI, with the latter driven by the factors described above.
Balance Sheet
Total assets increased 3% in the quarter, 10% in the past year and 6% year-to-date to reach $19,627 million at April 30, 2014.
Cash and Securities
Cash and securities totaled $2,535 million at April 30, 2014, compared to $2,545 million a year earlier and $2,596 million at the end of last quarter. Net unrealized gains recorded on the balance sheet of $6.4 million compare to unrealized gains of $16.5 million a year earlier and unrealized losses of $8.8 million last quarter. The securities portfolio is primarily comprised of high quality debt instruments, preferred shares and common equities that are not held for trading purposes and, where applicable, are typically held until maturity. Volatility in equity markets can lead to fluctuations in value, particularly for common shares. Fluctuations in the value of interest rate sensitive securities, such as preferred shares and debt instruments, are generally attributed to changes in interest rates, movements in market credit spreads and shifts in the interest rate curve. Changes in unrealized gains or losses result from the combined impact of strategic repositioning of the securities portfolio and changes in market values.
Net realized gains on securities in the second quarter of $4.6 million compare to $3.1 million in the same period last year and $4.7 million in the previous quarter. Year-to-date net gains of $9.2 million were up from $5.7 million last year. Net gains reflect both favourable equity and bond market conditions and strategic management of the securities portfolio. Based on the level of gains realized and current composition of the portfolio, quarterly net gains on securities are expected to be lower through the remainder of the year although equity and bond market conditions are inherently unpredictable in the short-term.
Treasury Management
Average liquidity was up from the prior quarter and down from the same quarter last year. Assuming an ongoing supportive economic environment, management expects average liquidity ratios to remain relatively consistent with the current level through the remainder of the year.
DBRS Limited (DBRS) maintains published credit ratings on CWB's senior debt (deposits), short-term debt, subordinated debentures and Basel III-compliant First Preferred Shares Series 5 of "A (low)", "R1 (low)", "BBB (high)" and "Pfd-3", respectively, all with a stable outlook. Credit ratings do not consider market price or address the suitability of any financial instrument for a particular investor and are not recommendations to purchase, sell or hold securities. Ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. Management believes the ratings widen the base of clients and investors who can participate in CWB's offerings, while also lowering overall funding costs and the cost of capital.
Loans
Total loans grew 3% ($552 million) in the quarter, 12% ($1,823 million) in the past twelve months and 7% ($1,131 million) year-to-date to reach $16,708 million.
Lending activity in British Columbia showed the highest growth in dollar terms for all comparison periods, led by particularly strong growth in real estate project loans. Year-to-date growth was also relatively strong in Ontario, primarily reflecting increased corporate lending and ongoing development of CWB's broker-sourced residential mortgage business, Optimum Mortgage (Optimum).
Loan growth by portfolio compared to the prior quarter, the same quarter last year and on a year-to-date basis is provided in the table below.

- Corporate lending represents a diversified portfolio that is centrally sourced and administered through a designated lending group located in Edmonton. These loans include participation in select syndications that are structured and led primarily by the major Canadian banks, but exclude participation in various other syndicated facilities sourced through relationships developed at CWB branches.
- Loans by lending sector exclude the allowance for credit losses.
Growth was led by real estate project loans for all comparison periods as CWB continued to identify opportunities to finance well-capitalized developers on the basis of sound loan structures and acceptable pre-sale/lease levels. Although recent growth in this area has been very strong, CWB's total exposure to real estate remains within management's established risk appetite. Lower than anticipated growth in general commercial loans was partly the result of approved credit facilities remaining undrawn. The potential growth represented by undrawn credit facilities and CWB's promising pipeline of new commercial loans supports management's expectations for strong relative growth in this portfolio over time.
Optimum Mortgage
Total loans of $1,342 million within Optimum represented an increase of 3% ($36 million) compared to the prior quarter, 17% ($196 million) year-over-year, and 10% ($120 million) on a year-to-date basis. Adjusted for loan sales in the current period and third quarter of 2013 of $25 million and $66 million, respectively, loan growth was 5% ($61 million) for the quarter, 25% ($287 million) over the past twelve months and 12% ($145 million) year-to-date. Net growth was driven almost exclusively by alternative mortgages secured via conventional residential first mortgages carrying a weighted average loan-to-value ratio at initiation of approximately 71%. The book value of alternative mortgages represented 85% of Optimum's total portfolio at quarter end, compared to 80% in the prior quarter and 74% last year, with the increase partly resulting from loan sales. Overall, Optimum continues to deliver very strong performance and expand its geographic footprint beyond Western Canada. In addition to its growing presence in Ontario, Optimum added sales staff in Atlantic Canada this quarter.
Securitization
Securitized leases are reported on-balance sheet with total loans. The gross amount of securitized leases at April 30, 2014 was $282 million, compared to $223 million last quarter and $255 million one year ago. Leases securitized in the second quarter and year-to-date totaled $85 million and $102 million, respectively.
Outlook for loans
While strong competition from domestic banks and other financial services firms is expected to continue, management believes CWB will continue to gain market share through a combination of several positive influences. These include an expanded market presence, increased brand awareness in core geographic markets due in part to ongoing marketing initiatives, and the effective execution of CWB's strategic plan focused on targeted client solutions and superior customer service. CWB's strategy continues to focus on enhancing existing competitive advantages in business banking, while offering complementary products and personalized services in small-ticket equipment leasing, personal banking, trust, wealth management and insurance.
Consensus forecasts for Canada's domestic economy continue to anticipate more rapid expansion of economic growth in 2014 and 2015 compared to prior years, largely predicated on improving economic conditions in the U.S. Key markets in Western Canada are expected to perform well relative to the rest of Canada reflecting ongoing capital investment and increased personal spending as well as in-migration primarily related to a favourable long-term outlook for commodities. Canadian residential real estate markets have been resilient and affordability in most geographic areas remains within historical ranges, largely reflecting very low interest rates.
However, the combination of historically high prices, elevated levels of Canadian consumer debt and the potential for increasing interest rates could slow construction and other related lending activity, particularly in Vancouver and Toronto.
Relatively weak natural gas markets and ongoing uncertainty surrounding long-term transportation solutions for both natural gas and heavy oil could lead to moderated growth in capital investment related to natural gas production and oil sands development in the near term. However, the composition of economic growth in Western Canada has broadened in recent years, with accelerations in non-resource exports, personal consumption and housing-related activity. Opportunities related to the maintenance of existing facilities within the resource sector also remain abundant. The current overall economic outlook remains supportive of management's expectations for double-digit loan growth in fiscal 2014.
Deposits
Total deposits at April 30, 2014 were $16,669 million, up 3% over the previous quarter and 12% over the past year. Personal deposits represented 60% of total deposits at April 30, 2014, up from 59% the prior quarter and down from 62% one year ago. Total branch-raised deposits, including trust services deposits, represented 54% of total deposits at April 30, 2014, unchanged from the previous quarter and down from 56% one year ago. Demand and notice deposits were 31% of total deposits, down from 32% in the previous quarter and 33% in the same period last year.
Total branch deposits of $8,875 million were up 1% sequentially, 7% over the past twelve months and 3% year-to-date. The demand and notice component within branch-raised deposits, which includes lower cost balances, was up 2% compared to the prior quarter, 7% from the same time last year and 4% year-to-date to reach $5,216 million. One of management's long-term strategic objectives is to increase the level of personal and business deposits raised within the branch network, trust companies and Canadian Direct Financial, the Internet-based division of CWB. Specific emphasis is placed on growing deposits that are lower cost, provide associated transactional fee income and strengthen relationships by providing clients with relevant tools for managing their business and personal finances. Meaningful enhancements to CWB's cash management offerings for business clients, including the availability of desktop wires and foreign exchange services, now expected in the third quarter, continue to support this focus on growing branch-raised deposits over time, as do focused training programs that have reached a significant number of branch employees.
CWB's growing market presence, including ongoing expansion and upgrades to existing branches, also supports the generation of branch-raised deposits. On April 28, 2014, CWB opened its relocated flagship branch in central Edmonton, Alberta. The significantly expanded footprint will enhance the branch's overall capacity for future growth and accommodate CWB's primary team of real estate lending specialists for the capital region.
Management remains committed to further enhance and diversify all funding sources to support growth, manage the impact of competitive factors and mitigate pressure on net interest margin. The deposit broker network remains a valued source for raising insured fixed term retail deposits and has proven to be an effective and efficient way to access funding and liquidity over a wide geographic base. Selectively utilizing debt capital markets is also part of management's strategy to further diversify the funding base over time. At the end of the second quarter, a total of $1,719 million of term deposits raised through debt capital markets was outstanding, representing 10% of total deposits, consistent with the previous quarter and up from 7% from last year. The increase from last year mainly reflects a $300 million senior deposit note issuance in January 2014 and expansion of CWB's Bearer Deposit Note (BDN) program to $314 million. Management will continue to evaluate the funding potential available through securitization of portfolios that may include equipment loans and leases, residential mortgages and commercial mortgages.
Other Assets and Other Liabilities
Other assets at April 30, 2014 totaled $383 million, unchanged from the prior quarter and up from $350 million one year ago. Other liabilities at quarter end were $466 million, compared to $429 million the previous quarter and $456 million a year earlier.
Off-Balance Sheet
Off-balance sheet items include assets under administration and assets under management. Total assets under administration, which are comprised of trust assets and third-party leases under administration, as well as mortgages under service agreements, totaled $11,539 million at April 30, 2014, compared to $8,464 million last quarter and $7,821 million one year ago.
The significant increase in assets under administration during the quarter was mainly driven by funds temporarily on hand at Valiant Trust related to a large corporate action and the addition of a new trust services client.
Assets under management were $1,763 million at quarter end, compared to $1,684 million last quarter and $905 million a year earlier. Higher assets under management compared to last year reflect the addition of McLean & Partners.
Other off-balance sheet items are comprised of standard industry credit instruments (guarantees, standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit). CWB does not utilize, nor does it have exposure to, collateralized debt obligations or credit default swaps. For additional information regarding other off-balance sheet items refer to Note 12 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2014, as well as Notes 11 and 20 of the audited consolidated financial statements in CWB's 2013 Annual Report.
Capital Management
The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI) requires Canadian financial institutions to manage and report regulatory capital in accordance with the Basel III capital management framework. The required minimum regulatory capital ratios, including a 250 basis point capital conservation buffer, are 7.0% common equity Tier 1 (CET1), 8.5% Tier 1 and 10.5% total capital.
During the quarter CWB closed its domestic public offering of five million Basel III-compliant Series 5 preferred shares for gross proceeds of $125 million. CWB also redeemed the outstanding non-cumulative five-year rate reset Series 3 preferred shares on April 30, 2014.
At April 30, 2014, CWB's capital ratios were 8.1% CET1, 9.4% Tier 1 and 13.1% total capital. The CET1 ratio increased 10 basis points from the previous quarter, while the Tier 1 and total capital ratios were each down 10 basis points. Lower Tier 1 and total capital ratios reflect the net impact of the preferred share transactions.
Further details regarding CWB's regulatory capital and capital adequacy ratios are included in the following table:

- The 2014 inclusion of non-common equity instruments that do not include non-viability contingent capital clauses is capped at 80% of the January 1, 2013 outstanding balances (April 30, 2013 - 90%). At April 30, 2014, there was no exclusion from regulatory capital related to the Innovative Tier 1 capital (disclosed in deposits). At January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013 a combined $62 million and $31 million, respectively, of outstanding Innovative Tier 1 capital and preferred shares were excluded from regulatory capital. At April 30, 2014, $85 million of outstanding subordinated debentures (January 31, 2014 - $85 million and April 30, 2013 - $68 million) were excluded from regulatory capital.
Retention of earnings associated with anticipated performance within the 2014 target ranges is expected to support capital requirements, including targets established through CWB's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP).
CWB currently reports its regulatory capital ratios using the Standardized approach for calculating risk-weighted assets. This approach requires CWB to carry significantly more capital for certain credit exposures compared to requirements under the Advanced Internal Ratings Based (AIRB) methodology used by larger Canadian financial institutions. For this reason, regulatory capital ratios of banks that utilize the Standardized approach versus the AIRB methodology are not directly comparable. Required resources, costs and potential timelines related to CWB's possible multi-year transition to an AIRB methodology for managing credit risk and calculating risk-weighted assets continue to be evaluated. CWB's new core banking system, expected to be implemented in 2015, is a critical component for a number of requirements necessary for AIRB compliance, including the collection and analysis of certain types of data.
Further information relating to CWB's capital position is provided in Note 15 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2013.
Book value per common share at April 30, 2014 was $18.65, compared to $18.03 last quarter and $16.82 one year ago.
Common shareholders received a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per common share on March 27, 2014. On April 30, 2014, holders of Series 3 preferred shares received the final quarterly cash dividend of $0.453125 per share and holders of Series 5 preferred shares received an initial pro-rated cash dividend of $0.2381 per share. On June 4, 2014, CWB's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.20 per common share, payable on June 26, 2014 to shareholders of record on June 16, 2014. This quarterly dividend was 11% higher than the quarterly dividend declared one year ago and 5% higher than the prior quarter. The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.275 per Series 5 preferred share payable on July 31, 2014 to shareholders of record on July 24, 2014.
Significant Changes in Accounting Policies
Consolidated Financial Statements
Effective November 1, 2013, CWB adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities, which establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities, and new disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities. As a result of the application of IFRS 10, CWB has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over its investees and consequently, has de-consolidated Canadian Western Bank Capital Trust (the Trust) through which certain regulatory capital instruments are issued. In accordance with the transitional provisions, CWB has applied IFRS 10 retrospectively and comparative figures have been restated to reflect the de-consolidation of the Trust. The de-consolidation of the Trust resulted in a $105 million decrease in CWB Capital Trust Capital Securities Series 1 (WesTS) previously classified as non-controlling interest and an increase of $105 million in deposit liabilities, and reclassification of the associated distribution, which totaled $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, respectively, from non-controlling interest to interest expense.
Fair value measurement
Effective November 1, 2013, CWB adopted IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which applies to other IFRS standards that require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements and sets out a framework on how to measure fair value using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions, including assumptions about risk. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, CWB has applied the new fair value measurement guidance prospectively. This new standard had no impact on the measurement of CWB's assets and liabilities. Additional disclosures required by IFRS 13 are included in Note 13 of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Future Accounting Changes
A number of standards and amendments have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and are noted on page 45 of the 2013 Annual Report. These standards and amendments may impact the presentation of financial statements in the future and management is currently reviewing these changes to determine the impact, if any.
CWB continues to monitor activities of the IASB as well as proposed changes to IFRS. Several accounting standards in the process of being amended by the IASB (e.g. loan impairment, leases and insurance) may have a significant impact on the presentation of CWB's consolidated financial statements in the future.
Controls and Procedures
There were no changes in CWB's internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, CWB's internal controls over financial reporting.
The Bank's certifying officers had previously limited the scope of the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to exclude the controls, policies and procedures of McLean & Partners, acquired in the third quarter of 2013. This limitation has now been removed.
Prior to its release, this quarterly report to shareholders was reviewed by the Audit Committee and, on the Audit Committee's recommendation, approved by the Board of Directors of CWB.
Updated Share Information
As at May 30, 2014, there were 80,047,829 CWB common shares outstanding. Also outstanding were employee stock options, which are or will be exercisable for up to 4,413,632 common shares for maximum proceeds of $127 million.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
CWB common shares (TSX:CWB), as well as Series 3 and Series 5 preferred shares (TSX: CWB.PR.A and CWB.PR.B, respectively) have been deemed eligible to participate in CWB's dividend reinvestment plan (the Plan). The Plan provides holders of eligible shares the opportunity to direct cash dividends toward the purchase of CWB common shares. Further details for the Plan are available on CWB's website at www.cwb.com/investor_relations/drip. At the current time, for the purposes of the Plan, CWB has elected to issue common shares from treasury at a 2% discount from the average market price (as defined in the Plan).
Preferred Share Normal Course Issuer Bid
Prior to its expiration on February 28, 2014, CWB had a Normal Course Issuer Bid (NCIB) outstanding to purchase, for cancellation, up to 826,120 Non-Cumulative five-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares Series 3 ("preferred shares"). During fiscal 2014, CWB did not purchase any preferred shares under the NCIB.

- Effective November 1, 2013, CWB retrospectively adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements as described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements and within the Changes in Accounting Policies section of this MD&A. 2012 financial results have been restated for the purposes of this chart.
The financial results for each of the last eight quarters are summarized above. In general, CWB's performance reflects a relatively consistent trend, although the second quarter contains three fewer revenue-earning days.
CWB's quarterly financial results are subject to some fluctuation due to its exposure to property and casualty insurance. Insurance operations, which are primarily reflected in other income, are subject to seasonal weather conditions, cyclical patterns of the industry and natural catastrophes.
Among other things, quarterly results can also fluctuate from the recognition of periodic income tax items.
For additional details on variations between the prior quarters, refer to the summary of quarterly results section of CWB's MD&A for the year ended October 31, 2013 and the individual quarterly reports to shareholders which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on CWB's website at www.cwb.com.
Taxable Equivalent Basis (teb)
Most banks analyze revenue on a taxable equivalent basis to permit uniform measurement and comparison of net interest income. Net interest income (as presented in the consolidated statement of income) includes tax-exempt income on certain securities. Since this income is not taxable, the rate of interest or dividends received is significantly lower than would apply to a loan or security of the same amount. The adjustment to taxable equivalent basis increases interest income and the provision for income taxes to what they would have been had the tax-exempt securities been taxed at the statutory rate. The taxable equivalent basis does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions. Total revenues, net interest income and income taxes are discussed on a taxable equivalent basis throughout this quarterly report to shareholders.
Non-IFRS Measures
CWB uses a number of financial measures to assess its performance. These measures provide readers with an enhanced understanding of how management views the results. Non-IFRS measures may also provide readers the ability to analyze trends and provide comparisons with our competitors. Taxable equivalent basis, adjusted cash earnings per common share, return on common shareholders' equity, return on assets, efficiency ratio, net interest margin, common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital adequacy ratios, and average balances do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other financial institutions. The non-IFRS measures used in this MD&A are calculated as follows:
- taxable equivalent basis - described above;
- adjusted cash earnings per common share - diluted earnings per common share excluding the after-tax amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and the non-tax deductible change in fair value of contingent consideration (see calculation below). These exclusions represent non-cash charges and are not considered to be indicative of ongoing business performance;
- return on common shareholders' equity - annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average common shareholders' equity;
- return on assets - annualized net income available to common shareholders divided by average total assets;
- efficiency ratio - non-interest expenses divided by total revenues excluding the non-tax deductible change in fair value of contingent consideration;
- net interest margin - net interest income divided by average total assets;
- Basel III common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios - in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI; and
- average balances - average daily balances.

- Effective November 1, 2013, CWB retrospectively adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements as described in Note 1.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of the interim consolidated financial statements. |
|
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements |
(unaudited) |
($thousands, except per share amounts) |
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Canadian Western Bank (CWB) have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) using the same accounting policies as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, except as noted below. These interim consolidated financial statements of CWB, domiciled in Canada, have also been prepared in accordance with subsection 308 (4) of the Bank Act and the accounting requirements of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI). Under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), additional disclosures are required in annual financial statements and accordingly, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013 as set out on pages 62 to 102 of CWB's 2013 Annual Report.
The interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on June 4, 2014.
Significant Changes in Accounting Policies
Consolidated Financial Statements
Effective November 1, 2013, CWB adopted IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IFRS 12 Disclosures of Interests in Other Entities, which establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities, and new disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities. As a result of the application of IFRS 10, CWB has changed its accounting policy for determining whether it has control over its investees and consequently, has de-consolidated Canadian Western Bank Capital Trust (the Trust) through which certain regulatory capital instruments are issued. In accordance with the transitional provisions, CWB has applied IFRS 10 retrospectively and comparative figures have been restated to reflect the de-consolidation of the Trust. The de-consolidation of the Trust resulted in a $105,000 decrease in CWB Capital Trust Capital Securities Series 1 (WesTS) previously classified as non-controlling interest and an increase of $105,000 in deposit liabilities, and reclassification of the associated distribution, which totaled $1,647 and $3,344 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2013, from non-controlling interest to interest expense. Additional information on the Trust is discussed in Note 19 of CWB's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013.
Fair value measurement
Effective November 1, 2013, CWB adopted IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, which applies to other IFRS standards that require or permit fair value measurements or disclosures about fair value measurements and sets out a framework on how to measure fair value using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability under current market conditions, including assumptions about risk. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 13, CWB has applied the new fair value measurement guidance prospectively. This new standard had no impact on the measurement of CWB's assets and liabilities. Additional disclosures required by IFRS 13 are included in Note 13.
2. Future Accounting Changes
CWB continues to monitor the IASB's proposed changes to accounting standards. Although not expected to materially impact CWB's 2014 consolidated financial statements, these proposed changes may have a significant impact on future financial statements. Additional discussion on certain accounting standards that may impact CWB is included in the audited consolidated financial statements within CWB's 2013 Annual Report.
3. Insurance Revenues, Net
Insurance revenues, net, as reported in other income on the consolidated statement of income are presented net of net claims and adjustment expenses, and policy acquisition costs.

The securities portfolio is primarily comprised of high quality debt instruments, preferred shares and common shares that are not held for trading purposes and, where applicable, are typically held until maturity. Fluctuations in value are generally attributed to changes in interest rates, market credit spreads and shifts in the interest rate curve. Volatility in equity markets also leads to fluctuations in value, particularly for common shares. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, CWB assessed the securities with unrealized losses and, based on available objective evidence, no impairment charges (2013 - nil) were included in gains on securities, net.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments
CWB designates certain derivative financial instruments as either a hedge of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedges), or a hedge of highly probable future cash flows attributable to a recognized asset or liability or a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedges). On an ongoing basis, the derivatives used in hedging transactions are assessed to determine whether they are effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. If a hedging transaction becomes ineffective or if the derivative is not designated as a cash flow hedge, any subsequent change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recognized in net income.
For the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, $91 and $1,895 of net unrealized after tax gains (2013 - $983 and $365 unrealized after tax losses) were recorded in other comprehensive income for changes in fair value of the effective portion of equity and interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, and no amounts (2013 - $nil) were recorded in other income for changes in fair value of the ineffective portion of derivatives classified as cash flow hedges. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income in the same period that the hedged item affects income. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2014, $887 and $2,506 of net gains after tax (2013 - $508 and $27 of net losses after tax) were reclassified to net income.
The following table shows the notional value outstanding for derivative financial instruments and the related fair value:

9. Preferred Share Liabilities
On February 10, 2014, CWB issued five million Basel III-compliant, non-cumulative, five year rate reset First Preferred Shares Series 5 (Series 5 Preferred Shares) at $25 per share, for gross proceeds of $125 million. The shares are recorded as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets due to the inclusion of non-viability contingent capital provisions necessary for the shares to qualify as regulatory capital. The distributions are recorded in equity reflecting CWB's discretion over dividend payments.
Holders of Series 5 Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a non-cumulative fixed dividend in the amount of $1.10 annually, payable quarterly, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of CWB, for the initial period ending April 30, 2019. The quarterly dividend represents an annual yield of 4.40% based on the stated issue price per share. Thereafter, the dividend rate will reset every five years at a level of 276 basis points over the then five year Government of Canada bond yield.
CWB maintains the right to redeem, subject to the approval of OSFI, up to all of the then outstanding Series 5 Preferred Shares on April 30, 2019, and on April 30 every five years thereafter at a price of $25.00 per share. Should CWB choose not to exercise its right to redeem the Series 5 Preferred Shares, holders of these shares will have the right to convert their shares into an equal number of non-cumulative, floating rate First Preferred Shares Series 6 (Series 6 Preferred Shares), subject to certain conditions, on April 30, 2019, and on April 30 every five years thereafter. Holders of the Series 6 Preferred Shares will be entitled to receive quarterly floating dividends, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of CWB, equal to the 90-day Government of Canada Treasury Bill rate plus 276 basis points.
Upon the occurrence of a trigger event (as defined by OSFI), each Series 5 or 6 Preferred Share will be automatically converted, without the consent of the holders, into CWB common shares. Conversion to common shares will be determined by dividing the preferred share conversion value ($25.00 per preferred share plus any declared but unpaid dividends) by the common share value (the greater of (i) the floor price of $5.00 and (ii) the current market price calculated as the volume-weighted average trading price for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the day immediately prior to the date of the conversion).

Until March 1, 2014, the terms of the share incentive plan allowed the holders of vested options a cashless settlement alternative whereby the option holder could either (i) elect to receive shares by delivering cash to CWB in the amount of the option exercise price or (ii) elect to receive the number of shares equivalent to the excess of the market value of the shares under option, determined at the exercise date, over the exercise price (cashless settlement). Effective March 1, 2014, all options exercised are settled via cashless settlement. Of the 359,609 (2013 - 343,722) options exercised or exchanged in the six months ended April 30, 2014, option holders exchanged the rights to 313,117 (2013 - 291,140) options and received 130,560 (2013 - 117,328) shares in return under the cashless settlement alternative.
For the six months ended April 30, 2014, salary expense of $2,916 (2013 - $2,947) was recognized relating to the estimated fair value of options granted. The fair value of options granted was estimated using a binomial option pricing model with the following variables and assumptions: (i) risk-free interest rate of 1.5% (2013 - 1.4%), (ii) expected option life of 4.0 (2013 - 4.0) years, (iii) expected annual volatility of 19% (2013 - 25%), and (iv) expected annual dividends of 2.0% (2013 - 2.5%). The weighted average fair value of options granted was estimated at $5.19 (2013 - $4.61) per share.

12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
In the normal course of business, CWB enters into various commitments and has contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. At April 30, 2014, these items include guarantees and standby letters of credit of $360,448 (October 31, 2013 - $354,083). Significant contingent liabilities and commitments, including guarantees provided to third parties, are discussed in Note 20 of CWB's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013 (see page 89 of the 2013 Annual Report).
In the ordinary course of business, CWB and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings. Based on current knowledge, CWB does not expect the outcome of any of these proceedings to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

- Loans and deposits exclude deferred premiums and deferred revenue, which are not financial instruments.
- Other assets exclude property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, reinsurers' share of unpaid claims and adjustment expenses, deferred tax asset, prepaid and deferred expenses, financing costs and other items that are not financial instruments.

Fair values are based on management's best estimates based on market conditions and pricing policies at a certain point in time. The estimates are subjective and involve particular assumptions and matters of judgment and, as such, may not be reflective of future fair values. Further information on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined is included in Note 29 of the October 31, 2013 consolidated audited financial statements (see page 97 of the 2013 Annual Report).
Fair Value Hierarchy
CWB categorizes its fair value measurements of financial instruments recorded on the consolidated balance sheets according to a three-level hierarchy. Level 1 fair value measurements reflect published market prices quoted in active markets. Level 2 fair value measurements were estimated using a valuation technique based on observable market data. Level 3 fair value measurements were determined using a valuation technique based on unobservable market data. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended April 30, 2014.
Further information on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined is included in Note 29 of the October 31, 2013 consolidated audited financial statements (see page 97 of the 2013 Annual Report).
The following table presents CWB's financial assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value, categorized by level under the fair value hierarchy:

- Derivative financial instruments are included in this table at the notional amount.
- Accrued interest is excluded in calculating interest sensitive assets and liabilities.
- Potential prepayments of fixed rate loans and early redemption of redeemable fixed term deposits have not been estimated. Redemptions of fixed term deposits where depositors have this option are not expected to be material. The majority of fixed rate loans, mortgages and leases are either closed or carry prepayment penalties.
The effective, weighted average interest rates of financial assets and liabilities are shown below:

15. Capital Management
Capital for Canadian financial institutions is managed and reported in accordance with a capital management framework specified by OSFI commonly called Basel III. Additional information about CWB's capital management practices is provided in Note 31 to the fiscal 2013 audited consolidated financial statements within 2013 Annual Report (see page 100 of the 2013 Annual Report) and in the Capital Management section in the Q2 2014 Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Capital funds are managed in accordance with policies and plans that are regularly reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors and take into account forecasted capital needs and markets. The goal is to maintain adequate regulatory capital to be considered well capitalized, protect customer deposits and provide capacity for internally generated growth and strategic opportunities that do not otherwise require accessing the public capital markets, all while providing a satisfactory return for shareholders.
On February 10, 2014, CWB issued five million Basel III-compliant, non-cumulative, five year rate reset Series 5 Preferred Shares at $25 per share, for gross proceeds of $125 million (see Note 9). On April 30, 2014, CWB redeemed all outstanding Series 3 Preferred Shares (see Note 10).
