Strong fundamentals

While investing in core businesses, CIBC has continued to strengthen key fundamentals. In 2025, CIBC maintained its capital strength and sound risk management practices:

●

Capital ratios were strong, with a CET1 ratio(3) of 13.3% as noted above, and Tier 1(3) and Total capital ratios(3) of 15.1% and 17.4%, respectively, at October 31, 2025;

●

Market risk, as measured by average Value-at-Risk, was $11.4 million in 2025 compared with $11.0 million in 2024;

●

We continued to have solid credit performance, with a loan loss ratio(4) of 33 basis points compared with 32 basis points in 2024;

●

Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)(3) was 132% for the three months ended October 31, 2025; and

●

Leverage Ratio(3) was 4.3% at October 31, 2025.

CIBC announced an increase in its quarterly common share dividend from $0.97 per share to $1.07 per share for the quarter ending January 31, 2026.

Credit quality

Provision for credit losses was $605 million for the fourth quarter, up $186 million or 44% from the same quarter last year. Provision for credit losses on performing loans was up due to an unfavourable change in the economic outlook in Canada and unfavourable credit migration in the current quarter and favourable model parameter updates in the same quarter last year. Offsetting these increases, the same quarter last year included an unfavourable change in economic outlook in the U.S. compared to a favourable change in the current quarter. Provision for credit losses on impaired loans was up due to higher provisions in all strategic business units (SBUs), except U.S. Commercial Banking and Wealth Management.

Revenue of $3,188 million was up $346 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher net interest income, mainly from higher margins and volume growth.

Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was up 33 basis points, mainly due to higher deposit and loan margins, and a favourable business mix.

Provision for credit losses of $503 million was up $223 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, due to a higher provision for credit losses on both performing and impaired loans.

Non-interest expenses of $1,612 million were up $149 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, mainly due to higher spending on technology and other strategic initiatives, and higher employee compensation.

Net income for the quarter was $603 million, up $52 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses and a higher provision for credit losses. Adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings(4) were $879 million, up $100 million from the fourth quarter of 2024.

Revenue of $1,836 million was up $234 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, driven mainly by higher fee-based revenue from higher AUA and AUM balances as a result of market appreciation, higher commission revenue from increased client activity, and higher net interest income in wealth management. Revenue in commercial banking was higher compared to the prior year, mainly due to volume growth and favourable margins.

Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was up 16 basis points, primarily due to favourable economic rates and volume growth in deposits.

Provision for credit losses of $52 million was up $28 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, due to higher provisions on both performing and impaired loans.

Non-interest expenses of $957 million were up $134 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher performance-based and other employee-related compensation, and higher spending on technology and other strategic initiatives.

Net income for the quarter was $275 million (US$199 million), up $75 million (up US$52 million) from the fourth quarter of 2024, due to higher revenue and a reversal of credit losses, partially offset by higher expenses.

Revenue of US$584 million was up US$46 million from the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher deposit and loan volumes, higher deposit margins, and higher asset management fees from higher average AUM balances, partially offset by lower loan margins.

Net interest margin on average interest-earning assets was up 21 basis points primarily due to favourable business mix and higher deposit margins, partially offset by lower loan margins.

Reversal of credit losses of US$24 million in the current quarter compared with a provision for credit losses of US$61 million in the same quarter last year, due to a performing provision release in the current quarter and lower impaired provisions.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS or GAAP), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures, which include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios as defined in National Instrument 52-112 “Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure”, useful in understanding how management views underlying business performance.

Management assesses results on a reported and adjusted basis and considers both as useful measures of performance. Adjusted measures, which include adjusted total revenue, adjusted provision for credit losses, adjusted non-interest expenses, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net income and adjusted pre-provision, pre-tax earnings, remove items of note from reported results to calculate our adjusted results. Adjusted measures represent non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP ratios include an adjusted measure as one or more of their components. Non-GAAP ratios include adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted operating leverage, adjusted dividend payout ratio, adjusted return on common shareholders’ equity and adjusted effective tax rate.

Certain additional disclosures for these specified financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found in the “Non-GAAP measures” section of our 2025 Annual Report available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.

The following table provides a reconciliation of GAAP (reported) results to non-GAAP (adjusted) results on a segmented basis.

CIBC Fourth Quarter 2025 News Release		20

A NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including in this news release, in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in other reports to shareholders, 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 performance”, “Strong fundamentals”, and “Making a difference in our Communities” sections of this news release, and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in our 2025 Annual Report under the heading “Economic and market environment – Outlook for calendar year 2026” and other statements about our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management, priorities, targets and sustainability commitments (including with respect to our sustainability ambitions and our environmental, social and governance (ESG) related activities), ongoing objectives, strategies, the regulatory environment in which we operate and outlook for calendar year 2026 and subsequent periods. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “forecast”, “target”, “predict”, “commit”, “ambition”, “goal”, “strive”, “project”, “objective” and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “would” and “could”. By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions, including the economic assumptions set out in the “Economic and market environment – Outlook for calendar year 2026” section of our 2025 Annual Report, as updated by quarterly reports, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. Given the potential negative economic impacts tied to the actual and proposed U.S. imposition of tariffs on Canada and other countries and their countermeasures, the softening labour market and uncertain political conditions in the U.S., the continuing impact of hybrid work arrangements and high interest rates on the U.S. real estate sector, and the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East on the global economy, financial markets, and our business, results of operations, reputation and financial condition, there is inherently more uncertainty associated with our assumptions as compared to prior periods. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, affect our operations, performance and results, and could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. These factors include: trade policies and tensions, including tariffs; inflationary pressures in the U.S.; global supply-chain disruptions; geopolitical risk, including from the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East; the impact of post-pandemic hybrid work arrangements; credit, market, liquidity, strategic, insurance, operational, reputation, conduct and legal, regulatory and environmental risk; currency value and interest rate fluctuations, including as a result of market and oil price volatility; the effectiveness and adequacy of our risk management and valuation models and processes; legislative or regulatory developments in the jurisdictions where we operate, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Common Reporting Standard, and regulatory reforms in the United Kingdom and Europe, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s global standards for capital and liquidity reform, and those relating to bank recapitalization legislation and the payments system in Canada; amendments to, and interpretations of, risk-based capital guidelines and reporting instructions, and interest rate and liquidity regulatory guidance; exposure to, and the resolution of, significant litigation or regulatory matters, our ability to successfully appeal adverse outcomes of such matters and the timing, determination and recovery of amounts related to such matters; the effect of changes to accounting standards, rules and interpretations; changes in our estimates of reserves and allowances; changes in tax laws; changes to our credit ratings; political conditions and developments, including changes relating to economic or trade matters such as tariffs; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East, and terrorism; natural disasters, disruptions to public infrastructure and other catastrophic events; the occurrence of public health emergencies and any related government policies and actions; reliance on third parties to provide components of our business infrastructure; potential disruptions to our information technology systems and services; increasing cyber security risks, which may include theft or disclosure of assets, unauthorized access to sensitive information, or operational disruption; social media risk; losses incurred as a result of internal or external fraud; anti-money laundering; the accuracy and completeness of information provided to us concerning clients and counterparties; the failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us and our affiliates or associates; intensifying competition from established competitors and new entrants in the financial services industry, including through internet and mobile banking; technological change, including the use of data and artificial intelligence (AI) in our business; the heavy reliance on AI-related capital spending for U.S. growth and the uncertain employment impacts from its adoption; global capital market activity; changes in monetary and economic policy; general business and economic conditions worldwide, as well as in Canada, the U.S. and other countries where we have operations, including increasing Canadian household debt levels and global credit risks; climate change and other ESG-related risks, including our ability to implement various sustainability-related initiatives internally and with our clients under expected time frames and our ability to scale our sustainable finance products and services; our success in developing and introducing new products and services, expanding existing distribution channels, developing new distribution channels and realizing increased revenue from these channels; changes in client spending and saving habits; our ability to attract and retain key employees and executives; our ability to successfully execute our strategies and complete and integrate acquisitions and joint ventures; the risk that expected benefits of an acquisition, merger or divestiture will not be realized within the expected time frame or at all; and our ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Additional information about these factors can be found in the “Management of risk” section of our 2025 Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports. Any forward-looking statements contained in this news release represent the views of management only as of the date hereof and are presented for the purpose of assisting our shareholders and financial analysts in understanding our financial position, objectives and priorities and anticipated financial performance as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that is contained in this news release or in other communications except as required by law.
