TORONTO, Aug. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - CIBC (TSX: CM) (NYSE: CM) today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended July 31, 2013.

Third quarter highlights

Reported net income was $890 million, compared with $841 million for the third quarter a year ago, and $876 million for the prior quarter.
Adjusted net income was $943⁽¹⁾ million, compared with $866⁽¹⁾ million for the third quarter a year ago, and $876⁽¹⁾ million for the prior quarter.
Reported diluted earnings per share was $2.16, compared with $2.00 for the prior year quarter, and $2.12 for the prior quarter.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $2.29⁽¹⁾, compared with $2.06⁽¹⁾ for the prior year quarter, and $2.12⁽¹⁾ for the prior quarter.

Results for the third quarter of 2013 were affected by the following items of note:

$38 million ($28 million after-tax or $0.07 per share) increase in the portion of the collective allowance recognized in Corporate and Other⁽²⁾, which includes $56 million of estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods;
$20 million ($15 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured lending portfolios;
$8 million ($6 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) loss from the structured credit run-off business; and
$5 million ($4 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) amortization of intangible assets.

CIBC's Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 ratio at July 31, 2013 was 9.3%, and our Tier 1 capital ratio and Total capital ratio were 11.6% and 14.7%, respectively, on an all-in basis compared to Basel III Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 9.7%, Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.2% and Total capital ratio of 15.5% in the prior quarter.

Return on common shareholders' equity for the third quarter was 21.6%.

CIBC announced today its intention to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 8 million or approximately 2% of our outstanding common shares, subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, under a normal course issuer bid over the next 12 months.

"CIBC delivered solid results this quarter across our core businesses in Retail and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Wholesale Banking," says Gerald T. McCaughey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "These results reflect our strong focus on our clients as well as our underlying business fundamentals."

CIBC continues discussions with TD and Aimia about a broad framework that would see CIBC sell approximately 50% of the current Aerogold portfolio to TD with the accounts being divested consisting primarily of credit card only clients. Consistent with our strategy to invest in and deepen client relationships, CIBC would retain the Aerogold credit card accounts held by clients with broader banking relationships. The parties will make an announcement when an agreement has been reached or when the discussions have concluded without an agreement. There can be no assurances that an agreement will be reached. In the event an agreement is not reached, CIBC retains its rights to exercise its legal options under the provisions of its existing contract with Aimia.

Core business performance
Retail and Business Banking reported net income of $638 million for the third quarter, up $44 million or 7% from the same quarter last year. Excluding items of note, which include a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured lending portfolios, net income was $654 million, up $58 million or 10% from the same quarter last year.

Revenue of $2.1 billion was up $29 million or 1% from the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to volume growth across most products and higher fees. Provision for credit losses of $241 million was down $32 million, or 12%, from the same quarter last year due to lower write-offs in the cards portfolio and lower losses in the business lending portfolio, partially offset by the charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters noted above.

During the third quarter of 2013, Retail and Business Banking continued to make progress against our objectives of accelerating profitable revenue growth and enhancing the client experience:

We continued our leadership position in mobile innovations by reaching one million active clients using CIBC's award-winning mobile banking App, which allows clients to perform many of their everyday banking transactions from their mobile device;
We received three awards from ACT Canada for innovation related to the launch of our CIBC Mobile Payment App to help meet more of our clients' needs, including, the Gold Award for a Canadian Innovation Benefiting Consumers; the Gold Award for a Canadian Innovation Benefiting Merchants; and the 2013 People's Choice Award; and
We achieved a significant milestone in our distribution network expansion program with the opening of our 150^th branch since 2008. As part of the largest branch development in our history, we have hired more than 1,000 full-time equivalent employees to staff the 150 new, relocated or expanded locations, and installed close to 500 new ABMs to better serve our clients.

Wealth Management reported net income of $102 million for the third quarter, up $26 million or 34% from the same quarter last year.

Revenue of $458 million was up $57 million or 14% compared to the third quarter of 2012, primarily due to higher client assets under management driven by market appreciation and higher net sales of long-term mutual funds, higher contribution from our investment in American Century Investments, and higher fee-based and commission revenue.

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

We achieved our 18^th consecutive quarter of retail net sales of long-term mutual funds and a year-to-date record of $4.6 billion; and
We are on track with our transition plans for the acquisition of Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management, announced in the second quarter, which we expect to complete in early fiscal 2014 following regulatory approvals.

Wholesale Banking reported net income of $217 million for the third quarter, up $19 million or 10% from the prior quarter. Excluding items of note, adjusted net income was $223 million, up $30 million or 16% from the prior quarter.

Revenue of $596 million was up $16 million or 3% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher corporate credit products and debt issuance revenue, partially offset by losses in the structured credit run-off business compared to revenue in the prior quarter, and lower revenue in U.S. real estate finance.

In support of its objective to be the premier client-focused wholesale bank centred in Canada, Wholesale Banking acted as:

Lender in the financing of Hyundai Capital America's US$2.7 billion 3-year senior unsecured revolver;
Financial advisor to Brookfield on the sale of Longview Timber to Weyerhauser for $2.7 billion;
Joint bookrunner on OMERS Realty Corporation's two bond transactions for a total of $1.4 billion;
Joint bookrunner on Choice Properties REIT's $460 million IPO of Trust Units, $600 million inaugural bond offering and $500 million senior unsecured credit facility;
Joint bookrunner on Enbridge Inc.'s $600 million preferred share offering;
Financial advisor to Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. (MTS) on the sale of its Allstream subsidiary to Accelero Capital for $504 million; and
Sole agent for the Province of Alberta's $500 million re-opening of the Province's 2.90% Medium Term Notes due September 20, 2029.

In summary, CIBC delivered solid performance during the third quarter.

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

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

CIBC marked the 15^th anniversary of CIBC Youthvision - a one-of-a-kind scholarship program in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada and the YMCA that has changed the lives of over 450 young Canadians since 1999. Thirty-three grade 10 students across Canada were awarded a 2013 CIBC Youthvision Scholarship, each valued at $38,000. As part of the celebration, recipients, alumni and program partners across the country participated in CIBC's first online Youth Forum on Academic Success.
As Lead Partner of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games, we marked the two-year countdown to the opening ceremonies with the announcement of the CIBC Team Next program - a $2 million investment to assist young athletes with financial support, opportunities to develop career and life skills, and mentorship from world class Canadian athletes. This investment is part of our $4 million commitment to create a lasting legacy of the games in Canada, which includes a new $1 million investment in programs to support Aboriginal youth, and $1 million in sport-related CIBC Youthvision scholarships.
CIBC continued its strong commitment to bringing hope and support to those living with cancer. The CIBC co-sponsored Pink Tour hit the road in Ontario providing mobile breast health education to visitors in 90 communities; the 2013 CIBC Pink Collection^TM launched nationally to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation; and CIBC employees and clients raised $475,000 for life-saving equipment and research through its annual BC Children's Hospital campaign, and $625,000 for cancer research through the Tour CIBC Charles Bruneau - a five-day cycling fundraiser throughout Quebec.
In partnership with Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, CIBC and its employees joined many Canadians across the country to support National Day to End Bullying - an anti-bullying awareness campaign to promote awareness, understanding and openness while showing support for all anti-bullying initiatives to ensure all children and youth feel a sense of safety and belonging.

Overview

Financial results
Reported net income for the quarter was $890 million, compared with $841 million for the same quarter last year and $876 million for the prior quarter. Reported net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $2,564 million, compared with $2,487 million for the same period in 2012.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was $943⁽¹⁾ million, compared with $866⁽¹⁾ million for the same quarter last year and $876⁽¹⁾ million for the prior quarter. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $2,714⁽¹⁾ million, compared with $2,539⁽¹⁾ million for the same period in 2012.

Reported diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $2.16, compared with $2.00 for the same quarter last year and $2.12 for the prior quarter. Reported diluted EPS for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $6.19 compared with $5.83 for the same period in 2012.

Adjusted diluted EPS for the quarter was $2.29⁽¹⁾, compared with $2.06⁽¹⁾ for the same quarter last year and $2.12⁽¹⁾ for the prior quarter. Adjusted diluted EPS for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $6.56⁽¹⁾, compared with $6.03⁽¹⁾ for the same period in 2012.

Net income for the current quarter was affected by the following items of note:

$38 million ($28 million after-tax) increase in the portion of the collective allowance recognized in Corporate and Other⁽²⁾, which includes $56 million of estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods;
$20 million ($15 million after-tax) charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured lending portfolios (Retail and Business Banking);
$8 million ($6 million after-tax) loss from the structured credit run-off business (Wholesale Banking); and
$5 million ($4 million after-tax) amortization of intangible assets ($1 million after-tax in Retail and Business Banking, $1 million after-tax in Wealth Management, and $2 million after-tax in Corporate and Other).

The above items of note decreased revenue by $7 million, increased provision for credit losses by $58 million, non-interest expenses by $6 million, and decreased income tax expenses by $18 million. In aggregate, these items of note decreased net income by $53 million.

Net interest income⁽³⁾
Net interest income was comparable with the same quarter last year as lower treasury-related net interest income was offset by higher revenue from corporate credit products and volume growth across most retail products.

Net interest income was up $60 million or 3% from the prior quarter, primarily due to additional days in the current quarter, volume growth across most retail products, higher revenue from corporate credit products and treasury-related net interest income, partially offset by narrower retail spreads and lower trading-related net interest income.

Net interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was up $83 million or 2% from the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher trading-related net interest income, wider retail spreads, and higher revenue from corporate credit products, partially offset by lower treasury-related net interest income. The same period in 2012 included the hedge accounting loss on leveraged leases shown as an item of note.

Non-interest income⁽³⁾
Non-interest income was up $114 million or 9% from the same quarter last year, and up $64 million or 5% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher fee-based revenue and trading income, partially offset by lower gains net of write-downs on available-for-sale (AFS) securities.

Non-interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was up $110 million or 3% from the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher fee-based revenue, partially offset by lower trading income. The current year period had a gain on sale of the private wealth management business shown as an item of note, while the prior year period had a gain relating to an equity-accounted investment in our Wealth Management strategic business unit (SBU), also shown as an item of note.

Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was comparable with the same quarter last year. In Retail and Business Banking, the provision was down mainly due to lower write-offs in the cards portfolio and lower losses in the business lending portfolio, partially offset by a charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured lending portfolios, shown as an item of note. In Wholesale Banking, the provision was down due to lower losses in the U.S. real estate finance and Canadian credit portfolios, partially offset by higher losses in the exited European leveraged finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, the provision was up mainly due to an increase in the collective allowance, which includes $56 million of estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods, shown as an item of note.

Provision for credit losses was up $55 million or 21% from the prior quarter. In Retail and Business Banking, the provision was up mainly due to the charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters noted above, partially offset by lower losses in the personal lending portfolio. In Wholesale Banking, the provision was down mainly due to lower losses in the U.S. real estate finance and exited European leveraged finance portfolios. In Corporate and Other, the provision was up mainly due to the increase in the collective allowance noted above.

Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was down $113 million or 12% from the same period in 2012. In Retail and Business Banking, the provision was down mainly due to lower write-offs and bankruptcies in the cards portfolio, partially offset by the charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters noted above. In Wholesale Banking, the provision was down mainly due to lower losses in the U.S. real estate finance portfolio, partially offset by higher losses in the exited European leveraged finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, the provision was up mainly due to the increase in the collective allowance noted above, partially offset by lower losses in FirstCaribbean International Bank Limited (CIBC FirstCaribbean).

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were up $43 million or 2% compared with the same quarter last year, and up $53 million or 3% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher employee-related compensation.

Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 were up $296 million or 5% from the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business in the current period, which included a settlement charge shown as an item of note, and higher employee-related compensation.

(1) For additional information, see the "Non-GAAP measures" section.
(2) Relates to the collective allowance, except for (i) residential mortgages greater than 90 days delinquent; (ii) personal loans and scored small business loans greater than 30 days deliinquent; and (iii) net write-offs for the cards portfolio, which are all reported in the respective SBUs.
(3) Trading activities and related risk management strategies can periodically shift trading income between net interest income and non-interest income. Therefore, we view total trading income as the most appropriate measure of trading performance.

Income taxes
Income tax expense was up $19 million or 12% from the same quarter last year, and up $2 million or 1% from the prior quarter, primarily due to higher income.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was down $67 million or 12% from the same period in 2012, mainly due to higher tax-exempt income.

In prior years, the Canada Revenue Agency issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of approximately $3 billion of the 2005 Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses. The matter is currently in litigation. In response to a motion by CIBC to strike the Crown's replies, the Tax Court of Canada (TCC) ordered and the Federal Court of Appeal confirmed that the Crown must submit amended replies. On July 30, 2013, the Crown filed a Fresh as Amended Reply with the TCC. We expect the TCC trial on the deductibility of the Enron payments to commence in the latter part of 2014 or early 2015.

Should we successfully defend our tax filing position in its entirety, we would recognize an additional accounting tax benefit of $214 million and taxable refund interest of approximately $192 million. Should we fail to defend our position in its entirety, we would incur an additional tax expense of approximately $866 million and non-deductible interest of approximately $124 million.

Significant events

Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management
On April 11, 2013, CIBC announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Atlantic Trust Private Wealth Management (Atlantic Trust) from its parent company, Invesco Ltd., for US$210 million. Atlantic Trust, which has approximately US$20 billion in assets under management, provides integrated wealth management solutions for high-net-worth individuals, families, foundations and endowments. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in early fiscal 2014. The results of the acquired business will be consolidated from the date of close and will be included in the Wealth Management SBU.

Private wealth management (Asia)
On January 25, 2013, CIBC sold its stand-alone Hong Kong and Singapore-based private wealth management business. This niche advisory and brokerage business, which was included in International banking within Corporate and Other, provided private banking services to a small number of high-net-worth individuals in the Asia-Pacific region and had assets under management of approximately $2 billion. As a result, CIBC recognized a gain, net of associated expenses, of $16 million ($16 million after-tax) during the quarter ended January 31, 2013. CIBC's other businesses in Asia were unaffected by this transaction.

Lehman Brothers bankruptcy proceedings
During the quarter ended January 31, 2013, CIBC recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note as further detailed in Note 23 of the 2012 consolidated financial statements.

Outlook for calendar year 2013
Moderate economic growth is likely to continue in both Canada and the U.S. in 2013. Real GDP gains are likely to be in the vicinity of 1.5% to 2.0% in the U.S. and Canada, in the face of soft growth overseas, and ongoing fiscal tightening. There are tentative signs that Europe is emerging from recession. In the U.S., improving household credit fundamentals and continued recovery in home building will help offset the drag from tighter fiscal policy.

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

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

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

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

Wholesale Banking revenue and income taxes are reported on a taxable equivalent basis (TEB) with an equivalent offset in the revenue and income taxes of Corporate and Other.

Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The second quarter has fewer days as compared with the other quarters, generally leading to lower earnings. The summer months (July - third quarter and August - fourth quarter) typically experience lower levels of capital markets activity, which affects our brokerage, investment management, and wholesale banking activities.

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

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

Wholesale Banking revenue is influenced to a large extent by capital market conditions, and growth in the equity derivatives business which has resulted in higher tax-exempt income. Revenue has also been impacted by the volatility in the structured credit run-off business. The second quarter of 2012 included a hedge accounting loss on leveraged leases. The fourth quarter of 2012 included a gain on sale of interests in entities in relation to the acquisition of TMX Group Inc. by Maple Group Acquisition Corporation and a loss relating to the change in valuation of collateralized derivatives to an overnight index swap (OIS) basis.

Corporate and Other includes the offset related to tax-exempt income noted above. The second half of 2012 and year-to-date 2013 had lower unallocated treasury revenue. The first quarter of 2013 included a gain on sale of the private wealth management business (Asia).

Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses is dependent upon the credit cycle in general and on the credit performance of the loan portfolios. In Retail and Business Banking, losses in the cards portfolio declined throughout 2012 and 2013. The current quarter had a charge resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured lending portfolios. In Wholesale Banking, the fourth quarter of 2011 had higher losses in the exited European leveraged finance portfolio. During 2012, we had higher losses in the U.S. real estate finance portfolio and the fourth quarter included losses in the exited U.S. leveraged finance portfolio. The second and third quarter of 2013 had higher losses in the exited European leveraged finance portfolio. In Corporate and Other, the current quarter had an increase in the collective allowance, which includes $56 million of estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods.

Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses have fluctuated over the period largely due to changes in employee-related compensation and benefits, including pension expense. The first quarter of 2013 had higher expenses in the structured credit run-off business.

Income taxes
Income taxes vary with changes in income subject to tax, and the jurisdictions in which the income is earned. Taxes can also be affected by the impact of significant items. Tax-exempt income has generally been trending higher for the periods presented in the table above.

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 with similar measures used by other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP measures useful in analyzing financial performance. For a more detailed discussion on our non-GAAP measures, see page 19 of the 2012 Annual Report. The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP to GAAP measures related to CIBC on a consolidated basis.

Non-interest expenses were up $25 million or 2% from the prior quarter, primarily due to additional days in the quarter and higher employee-related compensation.

Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 were up $33 million or 1% from the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher employee-related compensation relating to an increased number of client-facing employees, and increased spending on strategic business initiatives.

Income taxes
Income taxes were up $19 million from the same quarter last year, up $11 million from the prior quarter, and up $38 million from the same period in 2012, primarily due to higher income.

Aeroplan Agreement

On August 12, 2013, CIBC announced that it had formally advised Aimia Canada Inc. (Aimia) that the proposed agreement between Aimia and The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) and notice thereof that Aimia provided to CIBC on June 26, 2013 was not valid because it failed to comply with Aimia's obligations to CIBC under its existing credit card agreement with CIBC, which expires on December 31, 2013, in that it was structured in a way that nullified CIBC's right of first refusal and ability to match.

CIBC also announced on August 12, 2013 that notwithstanding the above, there are ongoing discussions among CIBC, TD, and Aimia about a broad framework that would see CIBC sell approximately 50% of the current Aerogold portfolio to TD with the accounts being divested consisting primarily of credit card only clients. Consistent with its strategy to invest in and deepen client relationships, CIBC would retain the Aerogold credit card accounts held by clients with broader banking relationships.

While the original August 26, 2013 target date to reach an agreement, complete due diligence and finalize definitive documentation was not met, the parties continue to work towards reaching an agreement. The parties will make an announcement when an agreement has been reached or when the discussions have concluded without an agreement. There can be no assurances that an agreement will be reached. In the event an agreement is not reached, CIBC retains its rights to exercise its legal options under the provisions of its existing contract with Aimia.

CIBC branded Aerogold crédit cards currently account for approximately $6 billion of CIBC's outstanding cards receivables and generated approximately $0.95 of EPS for the 12 months ended July 31, 2013.

Excluded from the table above are equity and surplus note AFS securities that we obtained in consideration for commutation of our U.S. residential mortgage market (USRMM) contracts with financial guarantors. The equity securities had a carrying value of US$8 million (October 31, 2012: US$9 million) and the surplus notes had a notional value of US$140 million (October 31, 2012: US$140 million) and a carrying value of US$13 million (October 31, 2012: US$12 million).

USRMM - collateralized debt obligation (CDO)
Our net USRMM position, consisting of a written credit derivative, amounted to US$60 million. This position was hedged through protection purchased from a large U.S.-based diversified multinational insurance and financial services company with which we have market-standard collateral arrangements.

Collateralized loan obligation (CLO)
CLO positions consist of senior tranches of CLOs backed by diversified pools of primarily U.S. (62%) and European-based (37%) senior secured leveraged loans. As at July 31, 2013, approximately 23% of the total notional amount of the CLO tranches was rated equivalent to AAA, 70% was rated between the equivalent of AA+ and AA-, and the remainder was the equivalent of A. As at July 31, 2013, approximately 16% of the underlying collateral was rated equivalent to BB- or higher, 55% was rated between the equivalent of B+ and B-, 6% was rated equivalent to CCC+ or lower, with the remainder unrated. The CLO positions have a weighted-average life of 2.2 years and average subordination of 30%.

Corporate debt
Corporate debt exposure consists of a large matched super senior derivative, where CIBC has purchased and sold credit protection on the same reference portfolio. The reference portfolio consists of highly diversified, predominantly investment grade corporate credit. Claims on these contracts do not occur until cumulative credit default losses from the reference portfolio exceed 30% during the remaining 41 month term of the contract. On this reference portfolio, we have sold protection to an investment dealer.

Other
Our significant positions in the Investments and loans section within Other, as at July 31, 2013, include:

Variable rate Class A-1/A-2 notes classified as trading securities with a notional value of US$282 million and a fair value of US$245 million, tracking notes classified as AFS with a notional value of US$6 million and a fair value of US$2 million, and loans with a notional value of US$58 million and fair value and carrying value of nil. These notes were originally received in exchange for our non-bank sponsored asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) in January 2009, upon the ratification of the Montreal Accord restructuring;
US$176 million notional value of CDOs consisting of trust preferred securities (TruPs) collateral, which are Tier I Innovative Capital Instruments issued by U.S. regional banks and insurers. These securities are classified as FVO securities and had a fair value of US$146 million;
US$129 million notional value of CDO trading securities with collateral consisting of high-yield corporate debt portfolios with a fair value of US$104 million; and
US$50 million notional value of an asset-backed security (ABS) classified as a loan, with fair value of US$46 million and carrying value of US$45 million.

Our significant positions in the Written credit derivatives, liquidity and credit facilities section within Other, as at July 31, 2013, include:

US$263 million notional value of written protection with a fair value of US$43 million, on inflation-linked notes, and CDO tranches with collateral consisting of non-U.S. residential mortgage-backed securities and TruPs; and
US$231 million of undrawn Margin Funding Facility related to the Montreal Accord restructuring.

Credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and other counterparties
The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of credit protection purchased from financial guarantors and other counterparties by counterparty credit quality, based on external credit ratings (Standard & Poor's (S&P) and/or Moody's Investors Service (Moody's)), and the underlying referenced assets. Excluded from the table below are certain performing loans and tranched securities positions in our continuing businesses, with a total notional amount of approximately US$45 million, which are partly secured by direct guarantees from financial guarantors or by bonds guaranteed by financial guarantors.

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

The unrated other counterparties is primarily one Canadian conduit. The conduit is in compliance with collateral posting arrangements and has posted collateral exceeding current market exposure. The fair value of the collateral as at July 31, 2013 was US$297 million relative to US$27 million of net exposure.

Corporate and Other

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

Assets
As at July 31, 2013, total assets were up $4.2 billion or 1% from October 31, 2012.

Cash and deposits with banks increased by $3.6 billion or 77%, mostly due to higher treasury deposit placements.

Securities increased by $2.8 billion or 4%. The main increase was in trading securities of $2.6 billion, primarily due to higher corporate equities and corporate debt. AFS securities were comparable as higher corporate debt and mortgage-backed securities were largely offset by lower government issued or guaranteed securities.

Securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements increased $3.1 billion or 11%, primarily due to client-driven activities.

Net loans and acceptances increased by $1.5 billion or 1%. Residential mortgages were down $693 million, primarily due to attrition in our FirstLine mortgage broker business, largely offset by new mortgage originations through CIBC channels. Personal loans were down $772 million and credit card loans were down $282 million, primarily due to net repayments. Business and government loans and acceptances were up $3.2 billion, largely due to growth in our Canadian lending portfolio.

Derivative instruments decreased by $6.3 billion or 23%, largely driven by interest rate derivatives valuation.

Other assets decreased $454 million or 3%, mainly due to a decrease in collateral pledged for derivatives-related transactions, partially offset by an increase in income taxes receivable as a result of payments made during the year.

Liabilities
As at July 31, 2013, total liabilities were up $3.3 billion or 1% from October 31, 2012.

Deposits increased by $11.1 billion or 4%, primarily driven by funding and retail volume growth. Further details on the composition of deposits are provided in Note 6 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

Derivative instruments decreased by $6.6 billion or 24%, largely driven by interest rate derivatives valuation.

Other liabilities decreased by $638 million or 3%, mainly due to a decrease in collateral received for derivatives-related transactions.

Subordinated indebtedness decreased by $605 million or 13%, primarily due to redemptions during the year. See the "Significant capital management activity" section below for additional details.

Equity
As at July 31, 2013, equity increased by $880 million or 5% from October 31, 2012, primarily due to a net increase in retained earnings and the issuance of common shares pursuant to the stock option and employee share purchase plans, offset in part by common shares purchased for cancellation, as explained in the "Significant capital management activity" section below.

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

Domestic implementation of Basel III
Our regulatory capital requirements are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by OSFI.

In order to promote a more resilient banking sector and strengthen capital markets, the BCBS developed significant enhancements and capital reforms referred to as Basel III. The most significant aspects of the reforms are measures to improve the quality of capital and increase capital requirements for the global financial system. These measures, including changes to the determination of RWAs, are discussed further on page 37 of the 2012 Annual Report. On December 10, 2012, OSFI issued revised guidelines for capital adequacy in Canada which incorporate the adoption of Basel III.

OSFI expects all institutions to have established target capital ratios that meet or exceed the 2019 all-in minimum ratios plus a conservation buffer (which can only be met with CET1 capital) by the first quarter of 2013. "All-in" is defined by OSFI as capital calculated to include all of the regulatory adjustments that will be required by 2019, but retaining the phase-out rules for non-qualifying capital instruments. Details of the OSFI target capital ratio requirements appear in the table below. These targets may be higher for certain institutions or groups of institutions if OSFI feels the circumstances warrant it.

On March 26, 2013, OSFI released its guidance on domestic systemically important banks (DSIBs) and the associated capital surcharge. CIBC is considered to be a DSIB in Canada along with the Bank of Montreal, the Bank of Nova Scotia, the National Bank of Canada, the Royal Bank of Canada, and the Toronto-Dominion Bank. DSIBs will be subject to a 1% CET1 surcharge commencing January 1, 2016.

Following a previous deferral of CVA-related capital charges, on August 21, 2013, OSFI advised that the charge will now be phased-in over a five-year period beginning January 1, 2014. OSFI has also provided two options for calculating the CVA RWA for purposes of the CET1, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios during 2014-2018.

Our target capital ratio requirements are determined by OSFI. A comparison of the BCBS transitional capital ratio requirements and the OSFI all-in target capital ratio requirements is as follows:

To view graph of "Transitional basis (BCBS)" and " All-in basis (OSFI)", please click http://files.newswire.ca/256/CIBCgraph.pdf

CET1 includes common shares, retained earnings and AOCI (excluding AOCI relating to cash flow hedges), less regulatory adjustments for items such as goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred tax assets, assets related to defined benefit pension plans, and certain investments. Additional Tier 1 capital primarily includes preferred shares and innovative Tier 1 notes, and Tier 2 capital consists primarily of subordinated debentures, subject to phase-out rules.

Basel leverage ratio requirement
The Basel III capital reforms included a non-risk based capital metric, the leverage ratio, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. On June 26, 2013, the BCBS issued a consultative document for comment which provided clarification of the leverage ratio requirements published in the Basel III document dated December 2010 (as revised June 2011). The ratio is defined as the Capital Measure (Tier 1 capital) divided by the Exposure Measure. The Exposure Measure includes on-balance sheet assets, excluding those deducted from Tier 1 capital, derivative exposures, secured financing transaction exposures and other off- balance sheet exposures, such as credit commitments and direct credit substitutes. Derivative exposures include the replacement cost (i.e. the mark-to-market (MTM) value where positive) and potential future exposure.

The BCBS requires banks to calculate and disclose their leverage ratio under a common methodology beginning in 2015. The proposal states that the BCBS will continue to test whether a minimum requirement of 3% for the leverage ratio is appropriate. Any final adjustments to the rule will be made by 2017, for implementation on January 1, 2018.

Pending review of the final leverage requirements that will be developed by the BCBS for implementation in 2018, OSFI expects institutions to continue to meet the current assets-to-capital (ACM) multiple test and to operate at or below their authorized multiple.

Continuous enhancement to risk-based capital requirements
The BCBS continues to propose changes to the existing risk-based capital requirements with the objective of clarifying and increasing the capital requirements for certain business activities. Since the start of the fiscal year, the BCBS has published a series of consultative documents for comment. No implementation dates have been set for the recently published proposals, which include: "Revisions to the Basel Securitization Framework", "Recognising the cost of credit protection purchased", "The non-internal model method for capitalizing counterparty credit risk exposures", "Capital treatment of bank exposures to central counterparties", and "Capital requirements for banks' equity investments in funds".

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

All-in basis
On an all-in basis under Basel III, the CET1 ratio decreased by 0.4% from April 30, 2013 to July 31, 2013. The increase in CET1 capital due to internal capital generation, net of increased regulatory capital deductions, was offset by an increase in RWAs of approximately $8 billion during the quarter.

Approximately 40% of the RWA growth over the quarter occurred due to normal business growth, primarily driven by an increase in corporate credit products, as well as growth across other Wholesale Banking businesses. Additional RWA growth was due to a number of model parameter updates for various lines of businesses, which occur from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

The ACM increased 0.1 times from April 30, 2013. The favourable impact of an increase in capital for ACM purposes and a reduction in off-balance sheet assets was offset by higher on-balance sheet assets and lower adjustments (deductions) from assets for the ACM this quarter.

Significant capital management activity
Subordinated debt
On June 6, 2013, we redeemed all $550 million of our 5.15% Medium Term Notes (subordinated indebtedness) due June 6, 2018. In accordance with their terms, the Medium Term Notes were redeemed at 100% of their principal value, and accrued but unpaid interest.

During the second quarter of 2013, we purchased and cancelled $8 million (US $8 million) of our floating rate Debentures (subordinated indebtedness) due August 31, 2085, and $10 million (US $10 million) of our floating rate Debentures (subordinated indebtedness) due July 31, 2084.

Normal course issuer bid
Subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, we intend to purchase for cancellation up to a maximum of 8 million or approximately 2% of our outstanding common shares, under a normal course issuer bid, over the next 12 months.

During the six months ended April 30, 2013, we purchased and cancelled 5,808,331 common shares at an average price of $81.77 for a total amount of $475 million. This completed the purchase of all shares pursuant to the normal course issuer bid announced on August 30, 2012.

Dividends
On May 29, 2013, the Board of Directors approved an increase in our quarterly common share dividend from $0.94 per share to $0.96 per share for the quarter ended July 31, 2013.

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

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

As at July 31, 2013, the underlying collateral for various asset types in our multi-seller conduits amounted to $2.6 billion (October 31, 2012: $1.6 billion). The estimated weighted-average life of these assets was 1.2 years (October 31, 2012: 9 months). Our holdings of commercial paper issued by our non-consolidated sponsored multi-seller conduits that offer commercial paper to external investors were $72 million (October 31, 2012: $23 million). Our committed backstop liquidity facilities to these conduits were $3.5 billion (October 31, 2012: $2.2 billion). We also provided credit facilities of $30 million (October 31, 2012: $30 million) to these conduits as at July 31, 2013.

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

The fair value of these hedges net of CVA was $242 million (October 31, 2012: $307 million). An additional notional of $173 million (October 31, 2012: $1.0 billion) was hedged through a limited recourse note. Accumulated fair value losses were $19 million (October 31, 2012: $26 million) on unhedged written credit derivatives.

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

Management of risk

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

Risk overview
Our objective is to balance the level of risk with our business objectives for growth and profitability in order to achieve consistent and sustainable performance over the long term, while remaining within our risk appetite. Our risk appetite is defined through our risk appetite statement, established by management and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. It is supplemented by risk management policies and limits, as well as processes, controls, systems and procedures designed to ensure we operate within our risk appetite. Key risk management policies and limits are reviewed by applicable management committees annually, and require the approval of the Board and/or its committees. Further details on the Board and management committees, as applicable to the management of risk, are provided on pages 42 and 43 of the 2012 Annual Report.

We continuously monitor our risk profile against our defined risk appetite and related limits, taking actions as needed to maintain an appropriate balance of risk and return. Regular and transparent risk reporting and discussion at senior management committees facilitates communication of risks and risk management strategies across the organization.

Enhanced Disclosure Task Force
The Enhanced Disclosure Task Force (EDTF) was established by the Financial Stability Board in May, 2012. The stated goal of the EDTF is to improve the quality, comparability and transparency of risk disclosures. On October 29, 2012 the EDTF released its report "Enhancing the Risk Disclosures of Banks", which included thirty-two disclosure recommendations, principally in the areas of risk governance, credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and capital adequacy.

We are in the process of implementing these recommendations and note that some have already been embodied in fiscal 2012 and interim fiscal 2013 disclosures, and the remainder are intended to be in place by the end of fiscal 2013.

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

Real estate secured personal lending
Real estate secured personal lending comprises residential mortgages and personal loans and lines secured by residential property (HELOC). This portfolio is low risk as we have a first charge on the majority of the properties, and second lien on only a small portion of the portfolio. We use the same lending criteria in the adjudication of both first lien and second lien loans.

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

LTV ratios for residential mortgages are calculated as the sum of all individual account LTVs at the current estimated property values over total number of accounts. The house price estimates for July 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012 are based on Teranet - National Bank National Composite House Price Index (Teranet) as of June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively. Teranet is an independent estimate of the rate of change of Canadian home prices. The sale prices are based on the property records of public land registries. The monthly indices cover eleven Canadian metropolitan areas which are combined to form a national composite index.

The tables below summarize the remaining amortization profile of our total Canadian residential mortgages. The first table provides the remaining amortization periods based on the minimum contractual payment amounts. The second table provides the remaining amortization periods based upon current customer payment amounts, which incorporate payments larger than the minimum contractual amount and/or higher frequency of payments.

We have two types of condominium exposures in Canada: mortgages and developer loans. Both are primarily concentrated in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. As at July 31, 2013, our Canadian condominium mortgages were $16.6 billion (October 31, 2012: $17.0 billion) of which 74% (October 31, 2012: 77%) were insured. Our drawn developer loans were $928 million (October 31, 2012: $701 million) or less than 2% of our business and government portfolio and our related undrawn exposure was $2.0 billion (October 31, 2012: $2.0 billion). The condominium developer exposure is diversified across 78 projects.

We stress test our mortgage and HELOC portfolio to determine the potential impact of different economic events. Our stress tests can use variables such as GDP, unemployment, bankruptcy rates, debt service ratios and delinquency trends, which are reflective of potential ranges of housing price declines, to model potential outcomes for a given set of circumstances. The stress testing involves variables that could behave differently in certain situations. Our main tests use economic variables in a similar range to the early 1980s and early 1990s when Canada experienced economic downturns. Our results show that in an economic downturn, our strong capital position should be sufficient to absorb mortgage and HELOC losses.

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

Total allowance for credit losses⁽¹⁾	$	1,759	$	1,860
(1) Excludes allowance on undrawn credit facilities of $64 million (October 31, 2012: $56 million).

Gross impaired loans (GIL) were down $244 million or 13% from October 31, 2012. Consumer GIL was down $71 million or 10%, mainly driven by write-offs of impaired accounts from a revision of estimated loss parameters on our unsecured personal lending portfolios. Business and government GIL was down $173 million or 15%, attributable to the decreases in the sectors of transportation, oil and gas, and real estate and construction.

The total allowance for credit losses was down $101 million or 5% from October 31, 2012. Canadian and U.S. allowances for credit losses comprise 72% and 7%, respectively, of the total allowance. The collectively assessed allowance was down $35 million or 3%, due to an improvement in the cards portfolio, and a decrease resulting from a revision of estimated loss parameters and related write-offs of impaired accounts on our unsecured personal lending portfolios, partially offset by an increase for estimated credit losses relating to the Alberta floods. The individually assessed allowance was down $66 million or 14%, attributable to the reduction in gross impaired loans as noted above.

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

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

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

Direct exposures to certain countries and regions
Our direct exposures presented in the tables below comprise (A) funded - on-balance sheet loans (stated at amortized cost net of allowances, if any), deposits with banks (stated at amortized cost net of allowances, if any) and securities (stated at fair value); (B) unfunded - unutilized credit commitments, letters of credit, and guarantees (stated at notional amount net of allowances, if any) and sold credit default swap (CDS) contracts where we do not benefit from subordination (stated at notional amount less fair value); and (C) derivative MTM receivables (stated at fair value) and repo-style transactions⁽¹⁾ (stated at fair value). Of our total direct exposures to Europe, approximately 96% (October 31, 2012: 98%) is to entities in countries with Aaa/AAA ratings from at least one of Moody's or S&P.

(1)				Includes $156 million of exposure (notional value of $180 million and fair value of $24 million) on a CDS sold on a bond issue of a U.K. corporate entity, which is guaranteed by a financial guarantor. We currently hold the CDS sold as part of our structured credit run-off business. A payout on the CDS sold would be triggered by the bankruptcy of the reference entity, or a failure of the entity to make a principal or interest payment as it is due; as well as failure of the financial guarantor to meet its obligation under the guarantee.

Collateral on derivative MTM receivables was $1.6 billion (October 31, 2012: $2.3 billion), and was all in the form of cash. Collateral on
repo-style transactions was $4.7 billion (October 31, 2012: $3.5 billion), and is comprised of cash and investment-grade debt securities.

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

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

Trading activities
The following three tables show value at risk (VaR), stressed VaR and incremental risk charge for our trading activities based on risk type under an internal models-based approach.

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

Average total VaR for the three months ended July 31, 2013 was down 12% from the last quarter, driven mainly by a reduction in our interest rate, credit spread, foreign exchange and debt specific risks, partially offset by an increase in equity and commodity risks.

Average stressed VaR for the three months ended July 31, 2013 was down 7% from the last quarter. During the current stressed VaR period from October 17, 2008 to October 16, 2009, the market exhibited increased interest rate volatility combined with a reduction in the level of interest rates, and an increase in credit spreads.

Average incremental risk charge for the three months ended July 31, 2013 was up 10% from the last quarter, mainly due to an increase in the investment grade trading inventory.

Trading revenue
The trading revenue (TEB) and VaR graph below shows the current quarter and the three previous quarters' actual daily trading revenue (TEB) against the previous day close of business VaR measures. Trading revenue distribution on which VaR is calculated is not on a TEB basis.

During the quarter, trading revenue (TEB)was positive for 95% of the days. Trading loss did not exceed VaR during the quarter. During the quarter, the largest loss occurred on July 31, 2013 totalling $0.9 million. The loss was driven by a reduction in interest rates. The largest gain of $17.1 million occurred on July 5, 2013. It was attributable to the normal course of business within our capital markets group, notably in the equity derivatives business. Average daily trading revenue (TEB) was $4.0 million during the quarter and the average daily TEB was $1.4 million.

Non-trading activities

Interest rate risk
Non-trading interest rate risk consists primarily of risk inherent in asset/liability management activities and the activities of domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Interest rate risk results from differences in the maturities or repricing dates of assets and liabilities, both on- and off-balance sheet, as well as from embedded optionality in retail products. This optionality arises predominantly from the prepayment exposures of mortgage products, mortgage commitments and some GIC products with early redemption features; this optionality is measured consistent with our actual experience. A variety of cash instruments and derivatives, principally interest rate swaps, futures and options, are used to manage and control these risks.

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

(1) Certain comparative information as at April 30, 2013 and July 31, 2012 has been restated.

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

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

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

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

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

ALCO's responsibilities include:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Liquid assets
CIBC's policy is to hold a pool of high quality unencumbered liquid assets that will be immediately available to meet outflows determined under the stress scenario. Liquid assets are cash, short-term bank deposits, high-quality marketable securities and other assets that can be readily pledged at central banks and in repo markets or converted into cash in a timely fashion. Encumbered assets are those liquid assets that have been pledged for securities lending and borrowing activities, secured borrowings, derivative transactions, and other clearing and settlement of payments and securities.

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

CIBC's unencumbered liquid assets increased by $14.5 billion or 15% from October 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in NHA mortgage-backed securities, interest-bearing deposits with banks and securities purchased under resale agreements.

In addition to the above, CIBC has access to the Bank of Canada Emergency Lending Assistance (ELA) program through the pledging of non-mortgage assets. CIBC does not include ELA borrowing capacity as a source of available liquidity when evaluating surplus liquidity.

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

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

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

CIBC's funding strategy includes access to funding through retail deposits and wholesale funding and deposits. Personal deposits are a significant source of funding and totalled $121.9 billion as at July 31, 2013 (October 31, 2012: $118.2 billion). Our liquidity management framework applies deposit run-off assumptions, under a severe combined stress scenario, to determine core deposits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

		2013		2012
$ billions, as at		Jul. 31		Oct. 31
One-notch downgrade	$	0.1	$	0.1
Two-notch downgrade		0.3		1.5
Three-notch downgrade		1.0		2.6

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

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

Assets and liabilities

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

Obligations that are legally binding agreements whereby we agree to purchase products or services with specific minimum or baseline quantities defined at fixed, minimum or variable prices over a specified period of time are defined as purchase obligations. Purchase obligations are included through to the termination date specified in the respective agreements, even if the contract is renewable. Many of the purchase agreements for goods and services include clauses that would allow us to cancel the agreement prior to expiration of the contract within a specific notice period. However, the amount above includes our obligations without regard to such termination clauses (unless actual notice of our intention to terminate the agreement has been communicated to the counterparty). The table excludes purchases of debt and equity instruments that settle within standard market timeframes.

As an investor in merchant banking activities, we enter into commitments to fund external private equity funds and investments in equity and debt securities at market value at the time the commitments are drawn. These commitments are generally not cancelled and any undrawn amounts lapse when the private equity fund dissolves.

Subject to change as contribution decisions are affected by various factors, such as market performance, regulatory requirements, and management's ability to change funding policy. Also, funding requirements after 2013 are excluded due to the significant variability in the assumptions required to project the timing of future cash flows.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Technology, information and cyber security risk
Financial institutions like CIBC are evolving their business processes to leverage innovative technologies and the internet to improve client experience and streamline operations. At the same time, the sophistication of cyber threats and the associated financial, reputational and business interruption risks have also increased.

These risks continue to be actively managed by CIBC through enterprise-wide technology and information security programs, with the goal of maintaining overall cyber resilience that prevents, detects and responds to threats such as data breaches, unauthorized access and denial of service attacks.

Given the importance of electronic financial systems, including secure online and mobile banking provided by CIBC to its clients, CIBC continues to develop controls and processes to protect our systems and client information from damage and unauthorized disclosure.

Despite CIBC's commitment to information and cyber security, CIBC and its related third-parties may not be able to fully mitigate all risks associated with the increased complexity and high rate of change in the threat landscape.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accounting and control matters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Collective allowances
Consumer and certain small business allowances
Residential mortgages, credit card loans, personal loans, and certain small business loan portfolios consist of large numbers of homogeneous balances of relatively small amounts, for which we take a portfolio approach to establish the collective allowance. As it is not practical to review each individual loan, we utilize a formula basis, by reference to historical ratios of write-offs to current accounts and balances in arrears. For residential mortgages, personal loans and certain small business loans, this historical loss experience enables CIBC to determine appropriate probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) parameters, which are used in the calculation of the collective allowance. The PDs determined by this process that correspond to the risk levels in our retail portfolios are described on page 48 of the 2012 Annual Report. For credit card loans, the historical loss experience enables CIBC to calculate roll-rate models in order to determine an allowance amount driven by flows to write-off.

We also consider estimates of the time periods over which losses that are present would be identified and a provision taken, our view of current economic and portfolio trends, evidence of credit quality improvements or deterioration, and events such as the Alberta floods. On a regular basis, the parameters that affect the allowance calculation are updated, based on our experience and the economic environment.

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

The methodology for determining the appropriate level of the collective allowance incorporates a number of factors, including the size of the portfolios, expected loss rates, and relative risk profiles. We also consider estimates of the time periods over which losses that are present would be identified and a provision taken, our view of current economic and portfolio trends, and evidence of credit quality improvements or deterioration. On a regular basis, the parameters that affect the collective allowance calculation are updated, based on our experience and the economic environment. Expected loss rates for business loan portfolios are based on the risk rating of each credit facility and on the PD factors associated with each risk rating, as well as estimates of LGD. The PD factors reflect our historical loss experience and are supplemented by data derived from defaults in the public debt markets. Our risk rating categories are described on page 46 of the 2012 Annual Report. Historical loss experience is adjusted based on current observable data to reflect the effects of current conditions. LGD estimates are based on our experience over past years.

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

Contingent liabilities and provision
In the ordinary course of its business, CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, in which claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against CIBC and its subsidiaries. Legal provisions are established if, in the opinion of management, it is both probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to resolve the matter, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the reliable estimate of probable loss involves a range of potential outcomes within which a specific amount within the range appears to be a better estimate, that amount is accrued. If no specific amount within the range of potential outcomes appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the mid-point in the range is accrued. In some instances, however, it is not possible either to determine whether an obligation is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of loss, in which case no accrual can be made.

While there is inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of legal proceedings, based on current knowledge and in consultation with legal counsel, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, the outcome of these matters, individually or in aggregate, may be material to our operating results for a particular reporting period. We regularly assess the adequacy of CIBC's litigation accruals and make the necessary adjustments to incorporate new information as it becomes available.

The provisions disclosed in Note 23 to our 2012 annual consolidated financial statements included all of CIBC's accruals for legal matters as at that date, including amounts related to the significant legal proceedings described in that note and to other legal matters.

CIBC considers losses to be reasonably possible when they are neither probable nor remote. It is reasonably possible that CIBC may incur losses in addition to the amounts recorded when the loss accrued is the mid-point of a range of reasonably possible losses, or the potential loss pertains to a matter in which an unfavourable outcome is reasonably possible but not probable.

CIBC believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued for its significant legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such an estimate, is from nil to approximately $240 million as at July 31, 2013. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those significant proceedings in which CIBC is involved, taking into account CIBC's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which an estimate can be made. CIBC's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of the liability has yet to be determined. The matters underlying the estimated range as at July 31, 2013 consist of the significant legal matters disclosed in the 2012 year end consolidated financial statements as updated below. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate. For certain matters, CIBC does not believe that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in preliminary stages and certain matters have no specific amount claimed. Consequently, these matters are not included in the range.

The following developments related to our significant legal matters occurred during the nine months ended July 31, 2013:

We recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note.
In Green v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, et al., the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal which was heard in May 2013 and the court reserved its decision.
In Brown v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and CIBC World Markets Inc. the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court, which was heard in February 2013. The court released its decision in April denying the plaintiffs' appeal regarding the decision to deny certification of the matter as a class action. In May, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
In Sherry v. CIBC Mortgages Inc. the motion for class certification is scheduled to be heard in August 2013.
In Watson v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., the motion to certify the matter as a class action was heard in April and May and the court reserved its decision.
Four additional proposed class actions (Fuze Salon v. BofA Canada Bank, et al., 1023926 Alberta Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., The Crown & Hand Pub Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., Hello Baby Equipment Inc. v. BofA Canada Bank, et al.) were commenced in western Canada against VISA Canada Corporation (Visa), MasterCard International Incorporated (MasterCard), CIBC and numerous other financial institutions. The actions, brought on behalf of merchants who accepted payment by Visa or MasterCard from 2001 to present, allege two "separate, but interrelated" conspiracies; one in respect of Visa and one in respect of MasterCard. The claims allege that Visa and MasterCard conspired with their issuing banks to set default interchange rate and merchant discount fees and that certain rules (Honour All Cards and No Surcharge) have the effect of increasing the merchant discount fees. The claims allege civil conspiracy, violation of the Competition Act, interference with economic interests and unjust enrichment. The claims seek unspecified general and punitive damages. These matters are similar to previously filed and disclosed proposed class actions relating to default interchange rates and merchant discount fees.
In Fresco v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in March denying CIBC leave to appeal certification of the matter as a class action, and denying the plaintiff's cross appeal on aggregate damages.
In Marcotte v. Bank of Montreal, et al., the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in April granting leave to appeal. The appeal is scheduled to be heard in February 2014.
In the Sino-Forest class actions, the company implemented its restructuring plan in January 2013 under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and as a result, the proposed class actions are no longer stayed. The motion for class certification in the Labourers' action is scheduled to be heard in February 2014.
In March 2013, a claim was filed in New York State Supreme Court against CIBC by Oppenheimer Holdings Inc., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and OPY Credit Corp. (collectively "Oppenheimer") seeking damages of US$176 million relating to an alleged breach of a credit facility that CIBC entered into in connection with the sale of CIBC's capital markets business to Oppenheimer in January 2008 (Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce). In addition, as part of the purchase and sale agreement between Oppenheimer and CIBC, Oppenheimer was required to pay CIBC a deferred purchase price of at least US$25 million in April 2013. Oppenheimer has not paid the deferred purchase price to CIBC and has placed the funds in escrow pending the outcome of legal proceedings. In June 2013, CIBC filed an arbitration claim against Oppenheimer for US$25 million.

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

Asset impairment
As at July 31, 2013, we reported goodwill of $1,722 million (October 31, 2012: $1,701 million) and other intangible assets with an indefinite life of $136 million (October 31, 2012: $136 million). Goodwill is not amortized, but is assessed for impairment, at least annually and when there are events or changes in circumstances to indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, by comparing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated, with the carrying amount of the CGU including goodwill, with any deficiency recognized as impairment to goodwill. The recoverable amount of a CGU is defined as the higher of its estimated fair value less cost to sell and value in use.

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

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

We performed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2012 and did not record any impairment at that time. At that date, for our CIBC FirstCaribbean CGU, the estimated recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value by approximately five percent. A goodwill impairment charge could result in future quarters from a decline in the estimated recoverable amount. Economic conditions in the Caribbean remain challenging and reductions in estimated recoverable amounts could arise from various factors such as reductions in forecast cash flows, an increase in the assumed level of required capital, and any adverse change in the discount rate or the terminal growth rate either in isolation or jointly. We will complete our annual impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2013.

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

As at July 31, 2013, we had a deferred income tax asset of $371 million (October 31, 2012: $457 million) and a deferred income tax liability of $37 million (October 31, 2012: $37 million). We are required to assess whether it is probable that our deferred income tax asset will be realized prior to its expiration and, based on all the available evidence, determine if any portion of our deferred income tax asset should not be recognized. The factors used to assess the probability of realization are our past experience of income and capital gains, forecast of future net income before taxes, available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred income tax asset, and the remaining expiration period of tax loss carryforwards. Although realization is not assured, we believe, based on all the available evidence, it is probable that the remaining deferred income tax asset will be realized.

For further details on our income taxes, see Note 11 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

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

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

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

For further details on post-employment benefit expense, see Note 10 to the interim consolidated financial statements.

U.S. regulatory developments
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was enacted in the U.S. in July 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act contains financial reforms, including increased consumer protection, regulation of the OTC derivative markets, heightened capital and prudential standards, and restrictions on proprietary trading by banks. The Dodd-Frank Act will affect every financial institution in the U.S. and many financial institutions that operate outside the U.S. As many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking that U.S. regulators have not finalized, the impact on CIBC is difficult to anticipate until all the regulations are finalized and released. CIBC continually monitors developments to prepare for rulemakings that have the potential to impact our operations in the U.S. and elsewhere.

In December 2012, CIBC registered as a swap dealer with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission and adopted processes and procedures necessary to comply with newly-promulgated U.S. regulations in trading swaps with U.S. persons. While certain rules relating to swap reporting and business conduct have gone into effect, many other rules are not in effect or have not been finalized. CIBC will continue to monitor and prepare for developments in this area. While these far-reaching reforms have increased our cost of regulatory compliance and may restrict our ability to continue to engage in certain types of trading activity, we do not expect them to have a significant impact on our results.

Also in December 2012, the Federal Reserve Board proposed new rules under Section 165 and 166 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The proposed rules would mandate new organizational structures, additional capital, liquidity and leverage requirements and other regulatory standards relating to risk management, credit exposure limits, resolution planning and other aspects of foreign banks' U.S. operations in branches and agencies as well as banking and non-banking subsidiaries. CIBC is evaluating the potential impact to our operations if the proposed rules were enacted.

The Dodd-Frank Act also mandates the so-called Volcker Rule, which restricts certain proprietary trading and private equity fund activities of banking entities operating in the U.S. While U.S. regulators proposed extensive implementing regulations in late 2011, they have not promulgated final regulations concerning the Volcker Rule. The rule, if enacted as proposed, contemplated an extraterritorial reach that might impact CIBC's trading businesses outside of the U.S., as well as CIBC's ability to invest in or sponsor certain unregistered private equity or hedge funds. The U.S. regulators received multiple public comments in response to the proposed rule, creating uncertainty as to the future form of the restrictions. It is impossible to assess the full impact of the Volcker Rule on CIBC's operations until U.S. regulators provide further guidance or release the final rules.

Controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures
CIBC's management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of CIBC's disclosure controls and procedures as at July 31, 2013 (as defined in the rules of the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators) and has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in CIBC's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements
(Unaudited)

The interim consolidated financial statements of CIBC are prepared in accordance with Section 308(4) of the Bank Act which states that, except as otherwise specified by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), the financial statements are to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. There are no accounting requirements of OSFI that are exceptions to IFRS.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements follow the same accounting policies and their methods of application as CIBC's consolidated financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2012, except as noted. Effective November 1, 2012, we retrospectively adopted the amended IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements: Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income", which requires separate presentation of items of OCI that are subject to reclassification to net income in the future from those that are not subject to reclassification.

All amounts in these interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on August 28, 2013.

Comprises FVO deposits of $1,751 million (October 31, 2012: $1,488 million), FVO secured borrowings of $324 million (October 31, 2012: $365 million), bifurcated embedded derivatives of $231 million (October 31, 2012: $184 million), FVO other liabilities of $19 million (October 31, 2012: $3 million), and other financial liabilities measured at fair value of $49 million (October 31, 2012: $40 million). Changes in our own credit risk had an insignificant impact on the determination of the fair value of our FVO deposits.

Transfers into or out of Level 3 can occur as a result of additional or new information regarding valuation inputs and changes in their observabillity. During the quarter, we transferred $22 million of corporate equities from Level 3 to Level 2 (April 30, 2013: $2 million of certain bifurcated embedded derivatives along with an offsetting amount of derivatives we held as hedges from Level 2 to Level 3; January 31, 2013: $12 million of certain bifurcated embedded derivatives from Level 3 to Level 2).

The net gains recognized in the interim consolidated statement of income on the financial instruments, for which fair values were estimated using valuation techniques requiring non-observable market parameters, for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2013 were $43 million and $173 million, respectively (net gains of $26 million and $118 million for the quarter and nine months ended July 31, 2012, respectively).

The following table presents the changes in fair value of financial assets and liabilities in Level 3. These instruments are measured at fair value utilizing non-observable market inputs. We often hedge positions with offsetting positions that may be classified in a different level. As a result, the gains and losses for assets and liabilities in the Level 3 category presented in the table below do not reflect the effect of offsetting gains and losses on the related hedging instruments that are classified in Level 1 and Level 2.

Sensitivity of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities
Valuation techniques using predominantly non-observable market inputs are used for a number of financial instruments including our structured credit run-off business. The effect of changing one or more of the Level 3 inputs used to fair value our significant Level 3 financial assets and liabilities to reasonably alternative assumptions would change the fair value significantly as described below.

Within our structured credit run-off business our primary sources of exposure, which are derived either through direct holdings or derivatives, are U.S. residential mortgage market contracts, collateralized loan obligations, corporate debt and other. The structured credit positions carried on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are within trading securities, FVO securities, trading loans and derivatives. These fair values are generally derived from and are sensitive to indicative broker quotes and internal models that utilize default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, discount rates and credit spreads as key inputs. The fair value of the credit derivatives is also sensitive to credit valuation adjustments for counterparty risk. Structured credit positions classified as loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost and are excluded from this analysis. While the impact of adjusting the indicative broker quotes, default rates, recovery rates, prepayment rates, discount rates and credit spreads to reasonably possible alternatives is asymmetric on an individual exposure class basis, in aggregate the impact would increase fair values by up to $91 million or decrease fair values by up to $91 million.

As at July 31, 2013, the fair value of our investment in private corporate equity primarily consists of $416 million of investments in investment funds as a limited partner (LP) and $222 million of investments in private companies. The fair value of our LPs is determined based on the net asset value (NAV) provided by the fund managers, adjusted as appropriate. The fair value of LPs is sensitive to changes in the NAV and by adjusting the NAV within a reasonable possible range, the aggregate fair value of our LPs would increase by $33 million or decrease by $33 million. The fair value of our investments in private companies is derived from applying applicable valuation multiples to financial indicators such as revenue or earnings. We apply professional judgment in our selection of the multiple from comparable listed companies, which is then further adjusted for company specific factors. The fair value of private companies is sensitive to changes in the multiple we apply and by adjusting the multiple within a reasonable possible range, the aggregate fair value for our investment in private companies would increase by $45 million or decrease by $44 million.

As at July 31, 2013, the fair value of our asset-backed securities (ABS) of $343 million is determined based on non-observable credit spreads and assumptions concerning the repayment of receivables underlying these ABS. The fair value of our ABS is sensitive to changes in the credit spreads and prepayment assumptions. By adjusting these non-observable inputs, the fair value would increase by $29 million or decrease by $31 million.

As at July 31, 2013, the amortized cost of 247 AFS securities that are in a gross unrealized loss position (October 31, 2012: 100 securities) exceeded their fair value by $110 million (October 31, 2012: $48 million). The securities that have been in a gross unrealized loss position for more than a year include 7 AFS securities (October 31, 2012: 6 securities), with a gross unrealized loss of less than $1 million (October 31, 2012: less than $1 million).

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

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

5. Structured entities and derecognition of financial assets

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

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

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

With respect to our Covered Bond Programme as at July 31, 2013, $11.9 billion of mortgages with a fair value of $11.9 billion (October 31, 2012: $14.6 billion with a fair value of $14.7 billion) supported associated covered bond liabilities of $11.4 billion with a fair value of $11.5 billion (October 31, 2012: $13.9 billion with a fair value of $14.0 billion).

With respect to Cards II Trust and Broadway Trust entities as at July 31, 2013, $4.6 billion of credit card receivable assets with a fair value of $4.6 billion (October 31, 2012: $5.0 billion with a fair value of $5.0 billion) supported associated funding liabilities of $4.6 billion with a fair value of $4.6 billion (October 31, 2012: $4.9 billion with a fair value of $5.0 billion).

As at July 31, 2013, there were $2.6 billion (October 31, 2012: $1.6 billion) of total assets in our non-consolidated multi-seller conduits. Our on-balance sheet amounts and maximum exposure to loss related to structured entities that are not consolidated are set out in the table below. The maximum exposure comprises the carrying value of unhedged investments, the notional amounts for liquidity and credit facilities, and the notional amounts less accumulated fair value losses for unhedged written credit derivatives on structured entity reference assets. The impact of CVA is not considered in the table below.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
As at July 31, 2013, we had available gross deferred income tax assets of $371 million (October 31, 2012: $457 million) and gross deferred income tax liabilities of $37 million (October 31, 2012: $37 million).

Enron
In prior years, the Canada Revenue Agency issued reassessments disallowing the deduction of approximately $3 billion of the 2005 Enron settlement payments and related legal expenses. The matter is currently in litigation. In response to a motion by CIBC to strike the Crown's replies, the Tax Court of Canada (TCC) ordered and the Federal Court of Appeal confirmed that the Crown must submit amended replies. On July 30, 2013, the Crown filed a Fresh as Amended Reply with the TCC. We expect the TCC trial on the deductibility of the Enron payments to commence in the latter part of 2014 or early 2015.

13. Contingent liabilities and provision

In the ordinary course of its business, CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations, in which claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against CIBC and its subsidiaries. Legal provisions are established if, in the opinion of management, it is both probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to resolve the matter, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the reliable estimate of probable loss involves a range of potential outcomes within which a specific amount within the range appears to be a better estimate, that amount is accrued. If no specific amount within the range of potential outcomes appears to be a better estimate than any other amount, the mid-point in the range is accrued. In some instances, however, it is not possible either to determine whether an obligation is probable or to reliably estimate the amount of loss, in which case no accrual can be made.

CIBC believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of the amounts accrued, for its significant legal proceedings, where it is possible to make such an estimate, is from nil to approximately $240 million as at July 31, 2013. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those significant proceedings in which CIBC is involved, taking into account CIBC's best estimate of such losses for those cases for which an estimate can be made. CIBC's estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the proceedings and the existence of multiple defendants in many of such proceedings whose share of the liability has yet to be determined. The matters underlying the estimated range as at July 31, 2013 consist of the significant legal matters disclosed in the 2012 year end consolidated financial statements as updated below. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual losses may vary significantly from the current estimate. For certain matters, CIBC does not believe that an estimate can currently be made as many of them are in preliminary stages and certain matters have no specific amount claimed. Consequently, these matters are not included in the range.

The following developments related to our significant legal matters occurred during the nine months ended July 31, 2013:

We recognized a US$150 million charge (US$110 million after-tax) in respect of the full settlement of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding brought by the Estate of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. challenging the reduction to zero of our unfunded commitment on a variable funding note. In 2008, we recognized a US$841 million gain on the variable funding note.
In Green v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, et al., the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal which was heard in May 2013 and the court reserved its decision.
In Brown v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and CIBC World Markets Inc. the plaintiffs filed an appeal to the Ontario Divisional Court, which was heard in February 2013. The court released its decision in April denying the plaintiffs' appeal regarding the decision to deny certification of the matter as a class action. In May, the plaintiffs filed a motion seeking leave to appeal to the Ontario Court of Appeal.
In Sherry v. CIBC Mortgages Inc. the motion for class certification is scheduled to be heard in August 2013.
In Watson v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., the motion to certify the matter as a class action was heard in April and May and the court reserved its decision.
Four additional proposed class actions (Fuze Salon v. BofA Canada Bank, et al., 1023926 Alberta Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., The Crown & Hand Pub Ltd. v. Bank of America Corporation, et al., Hello Baby Equipment Inc. v. BofA Canada Bank, et al.) were commenced in western Canada against VISA Canada Corporation (Visa), MasterCard International Incorporated (MasterCard), CIBC and numerous other financial institutions. The actions, brought on behalf of merchants who accepted payment by Visa or MasterCard from 2001 to present, allege two "separate, but interrelated" conspiracies; one in respect of Visa and one in respect of MasterCard. The claims allege that Visa and MasterCard conspired with their issuing banks to set default interchange rate and merchant discount fees and that certain rules (Honour All Cards and No Surcharge) have the effect of increasing the merchant discount fees. The claims allege civil conspiracy, violation of the Competition Act, interference with economic interests and unjust enrichment. The claims seek unspecified general and punitive damages. These matters are similar to previously filed and disclosed proposed class actions relating to default interchange rates and merchant discount fees.
In Fresco v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in March denying CIBC leave to appeal certification of the matter as a class action, and denying the plaintiff's cross appeal on aggregate damages.
In Marcotte v. Bank of Montreal, et al., the Supreme Court of Canada released its decision in April granting leave to appeal. The appeal is scheduled to be heard in February 2014.
In the Sino-Forest class actions, the company implemented its restructuring plan in January 2013 under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and as a result, the proposed class actions are no longer stayed. The motion for class certification in the Labourers' action is scheduled to be heard in February 2014.
In March 2013, a claim was filed in New York State Supreme Court against CIBC by Oppenheimer Holdings Inc., Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. and OPY Credit Corp. (collectively "Oppenheimer") seeking damages of US$176 million relating to an alleged breach of a credit facility that CIBC entered into in connection with the sale of CIBC's capital markets business to Oppenheimer in January 2008 (Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce). In addition, as part of the purchase and sale agreement between Oppenheimer and CIBC, Oppenheimer was required to pay CIBC a deferred purchase price of at least US$25 million in April 2013. Oppenheimer has not paid the deferred purchase price to CIBC and has placed the funds in escrow pending the outcome of legal proceedings. In June 2013, CIBC filed an arbitration claim against Oppenheimer for US$25 million.

14. Segmented information

15. Future accounting policy changes

The following standards or amendments are effective for us on November 1, 2013:

IAS 19 "Employee Benefits" - In June 2011, the IASB published an amended version of IAS 19. The amendments require the following: (i) recognition of actuarial gains and losses in OCI in the period in which they arise, (ii) recognition of expected return on plan assets in net income to be calculated based on the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation, and (iii) recognition of past service costs (gains) in net income in the period in which they arise. The amendments will have an impact on our defined benefit post-employment benefit plans, including an expected increase in our net defined benefit post-employment benefit expense and the remeasurement of the funded status of our plans through OCI. Retrospective application of the amendments is expected to result in a decrease in shareholder's equity due to the recognition in the consolidated statement of changes in equity of unamortized actuarial losses and unamortized past service gains as at October 31, 2013.

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" - Issued in May 2011, IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation guidance in IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements" and Standards Interpretation Committee ("SIC")-12 "Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities". IFRS 10 introduces a single consolidation model for all entities based on control, irrespective of the nature of the investee. Under IFRS 10, control results from an investor having: (i) power over the investee, (ii) exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (iii) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns. The adoption of IFRS 10 will require us to deconsolidate CIBC Capital Trust from the consolidated financial statements. Upon deconsolidation of CIBC Capital Trust, we will exclude the Capital Trust securities issued by CIBC Capital Trust from our consolidated balance sheet and will instead recognize an equivalent amount of senior deposit notes issued by CIBC to CIBC Capital Trust in Business and government deposits. Otherwise, the adoption of IFRS 10 is not expected to have a significant impact on CIBC's consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements" - Issued in May 2011, IFRS 11 requires entities which had previously accounted for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation to collapse the proportionately consolidated net asset value (including any allocation of goodwill) into a single investment balance at the beginning of the earliest period presented using the equity method. As we presently apply the equity method for our joint arrangements under IFRS, the adoption of IFRS 11 will not have a significant impact on CIBC's consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities" - Issued in May 2011, IFRS 12 requires enhanced disclosures about both consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities in which an entity has involvement. The objective of IFRS 12 is to provide information to enable users to evaluate the basis of control, any restrictions on consolidated assets and liabilities, risk exposures arising from involvements with unconsolidated structured entities and non-controlling interest holders' involvement in the activities of consolidated entities, and of associates and joint ventures. The adoption of IFRS 12 will not have a significant impact on CIBC's consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" - Issued in May 2011, IFRS 13 is effective prospectively for us on November 1, 2013. IFRS 13 replaces the fair value measurement guidance contained in individual IFRSs with a single set of guidance for measuring fair value and providing expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, i.e. an exit price. Upon adoption, we do not expect IFRS 13 to have a significant impact on how we determine fair value but will result in additional disclosures.

Amendments to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" was issued in May 2011. The amendments apply to associates and joint ventures held for sale and to changes in interests held in associates and joint ventures. We do not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 7 "Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" - Issued in December 2011, the amendments to IFRS 7 contain new disclosure requirements for financial assets and liabilities that are offset in the balance sheet or are subject to master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. We do not expect the amendments to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional disclosures.
