"In the third quarter, we continued to deliver solid performance across all of our businesses," says Victor G. Dodig, CIBC President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are executing well on our strategy to build a
relationship-oriented bank for a modern world, while delivering strong and consistent returns and growth to shareholders. We are
pleased with the momentum that our North American platform is gaining as we find new ways to serve our clients on both sides of
the border."
Results for the third quarter of 2018 were affected by the following items of note aggregating to a negative impact of
$0.07 per share:
- $31 million ($23 million after-tax) amortization of
acquisition-related intangible assets; and
- $9 million ($7 million after-tax) in transaction and
integration-related costs net of purchase accounting adjustments associated with the acquisitions of The PrivateBank and Geneva
Advisors.
We maintained strong Basel III Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total capital ratios of 11.3%, 12.8% and 14.8%, respectively,
compared with 11.2%, 12.7% and 15.1%, respectively, at the end of the prior quarter. CIBC's Basel III leverage ratio at
July 31, 2018 was 4.2%.
CIBC announced an increase in its quarterly common share dividend from $1.33 per share to
$1.36 per share.
Core business performance
Canadian Personal and Small Business Banking reported net income of $639 million
for the third quarter, up $78 million or 14% from the third quarter a year ago. Excluding items of
note, adjusted net income(1) was $643 million, up $81
million or 14% from the third quarter a year ago as wider spreads, volume growth and higher fees were partially offset by
higher non-interest expenses.
Canadian Commercial Banking and Wealth Management reported net income of $350 million for
the third quarter, up $59 million or 20% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily driven by
higher revenue. The increase in revenue was driven mainly by deposit and lending growth, higher fees and wider spreads in
commercial banking, and higher client assets in wealth management.
U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management reported net income of $162 million for the
third quarter, up $121 million or 295% from the third quarter a year ago. Excluding items of note,
adjusted net income(1) was $171 million, up $126 million
or 280% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to the inclusion of the results of CIBC Bank USA for the full quarter. The same quarter last year only included the results of CIBC Bank USA following the acquisition on June 23, 2017.
Capital Markets reported net income of $265 million for the third quarter, up
$13 million or 5% from the third quarter a year ago. Strong revenue growth was driven by our equity
derivatives, foreign exchange, and interest rate trading businesses, as well as higher advisory and corporate banking revenue,
partially offset by a gain on the sale of an investment included in the same quarter last year. Non-interest expenses were higher
primarily due to higher performance-based compensation and spending on strategic initiatives.

For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section.
|
Credit quality
Provision for credit losses was $241 million, up $32
million or 15% from the third quarter a year ago, primarily due to an increase in provision on impaired loans as a result
of higher expected credit losses in CIBC FirstCaribbean, partially offset by a reversal of credit losses on non-impaired loans
driven by positive credit migration within the non-impaired portfolio and the transfer of certain loans to the impaired
portfolio.
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 14 of our 2017 Annual Report. The
following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures related to CIBC on a consolidated basis.

Transaction costs include legal and other advisory fees, financing costs
associated with pre-funding the cash component of the merger consideration, and interest adjustments relating to the
obligation payable to dissenting shareholders. Integration costs are comprised of direct and incremental costs incurred
as part of planning for and executing the integration of the businesses of The PrivateBank (subsequently rebranded as
CIBC Bank USA) and Geneva Advisors with CIBC, including enabling cross-sell opportunities and expansion of services in
the U.S. market, the upgrade and conversion of systems and processes, project management, integration-related travel,
severance, consulting fees and marketing costs related to rebranding activities. Purchase accounting adjustments,
included as items of note beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017, include the accretion of the acquisition date fair
value discount on the acquired loans of The PrivateBank, the collective allowance established for new loan originations
and renewals of acquired loans (prior to the adoption of IFRS 9 in the first quarter of 2018), and changes in the fair
value of contingent consideration relating to the Geneva Advisors acquisition.

From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws,
including in this news release, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of, and are
intended to be forward-looking statements under applicable Canadian and U.S. securities legislation, including the U.S. Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in the "Core business

"Financial performance overview – Outlook for calendar year 2018" section of our 2017 Annual Report, as updated by quarterly
reports, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. A variety of factors, many of which
are beyond our control, affect our operations, performance and results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from
the expectations expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. These factors include: credit, market, liquidity, strategic,
insurance, operational, reputation and legal, regulatory and environmental risk; the effectiveness and adequacy of our risk
management and valuation models and processes; legislative or regulatory developments in the jurisdictions where we operate,
including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations issued and to be issued thereunder,
the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Common Reporting Standard, and regulatory reforms in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's

and related matters; the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations; changes in our estimates of
reserves and allowances; changes in tax laws; changes to our credit ratings; political conditions and developments, including
changes relating to economic or trade matters; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts and terrorism;
natural disasters, public health emergencies, disruptions to public infrastructure and other catastrophic events; reliance on
third parties to provide components of our business infrastructure; potential disruptions to our information technology systems
and services; increasing cyber security risks which may include theft of assets, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or
operational disruption; social media risk; losses incurred as a result of internal or external fraud; anti-money laundering; the
accuracy and completeness of information provided to us concerning clients and counterparties; the failure of third parties to
comply with their obligations to us and our affiliates or associates; intensifying competition from established competitors and
new entrants in the financial services industry including through internet and mobile banking; technological change; global
capital market activity; changes in monetary and economic policy; currency value and interest rate fluctuations, including as a
result of market and oil price volatility; general business and economic conditions worldwide, as well as in Canada, the U.S. and other countries where we have operations, including increasing Canadian household debt
levels and global credit risks; our success in developing and introducing new products and services, expanding existing
distribution channels, developing new distribution channels and realizing increased revenue from these channels; changes in
client spending and saving habits; our ability to attract and retain key employees and executives; our ability to successfully
execute our strategies and complete and integrate acquisitions and joint ventures; the risk that expected synergies and benefits
of the acquisition of PrivateBancorp, Inc. will not be realized within the expected time frame or at all; and our ability to
anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of
our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue
reliance on our forward-looking statements. Additional information about these factors can be found in the "Management of risk"
section starting on page 41 of our 2017 Annual Report. Any forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent
