HIGHLIGHTS
- Cash diluted EPS(1) of $2.34
- Return on equity of 28.3%
- Cash efficiency ratio (TEB)(1) of 59.4%
- Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.7%
- Common share dividend increase of 10 cents to 87 cents per quarter
TORONTO, Aug. 30 /CNW/ - CIBC (CM: TSX; NYSE) announced net income of
$835 million for the third quarter ended July 31, 2007, up from $662 million
for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.31, up
from $1.86 a year ago. Cash diluted EPS were $2.34, up from $1.87 a year ago.
Return on equity for the third quarter was 28.3%, up from 27.2% for the
same period last year.
CIBC's Tier 1 capital ratio at July 31, 2007 was 9.7%.
Diluted EPS of $2.31 and cash diluted EPS(1) of $2.34 for the third
quarter of 2007 were increased by:
- $75 million ($70 million after-tax, or $0.21 per share) net reversal
of litigation accruals.
- $77 million ($50 million after-tax, or $0.15 per share) due to the
impact of changes in credit spreads on the mark-to-market of
corporate loan credit derivatives.
- $48 million ($0.14 per share) tax recovery related to the favourable
resolution of an income tax audit in CIBC World Markets.
- Higher than normal merchant banking gains.
Diluted EPS of $2.31 and cash diluted EPS(1) of $2.34 for the third
quarter of 2007 were decreased by:
- $290 million ($190 million after-tax, or $0.56 per share) due to the
impact of mark-to-market write-downs, net of gains on related hedges,
in CIBC's structured credit business on collateralized debt
obligations (CDOs) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS)
related to the U.S. residential mortgage market.
- $16 million ($16 million after-tax, or $0.05 per share) premium paid
on preferred share redemption.
CIBC's net income, diluted EPS and cash diluted EPS(1) for the third
quarter of 2007 were up from net income of $807 million, diluted EPS of $2.27
and cash diluted EPS(1) of $2.29 for the prior quarter, which included items
of note aggregating to an increase in earnings of $0.34 per share.
CIBC has not yet completed the August month-end mark-to-market process
for its CDOs and RMBS and related hedges. However, based on indicative dealer
quotations and the ABX indices as proxies, the mark-to-market write-downs are
approximately $90 million ($60 million after-tax) for the month-to-date.
Update on business priorities
Business strength
"Our first priority is to sustain and enhance the strength of our core
businesses," says Gerald T. McCaughey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
CIBC Retail Markets reported revenue of $2,259 million, up from
$2,189 million for the prior quarter and $2,038 million for the same period
last year. Net income for the third quarter was $555 million, up 14% from a
year ago, primarily due to volume growth. CIBC's acquisition of a controlling
interest in FirstCaribbean International Bank (FirstCaribbean) also
contributed to this result.
While the environment in Canada remains competitive, CIBC's retail
businesses continue to perform well overall and remain strongly positioned in
the market. CIBC's credit cards business is the market leader in Canada and
continues to grow; cards outstandings were up 10.7% from the third quarter of
last year. CIBC Wood Gundy's assets under administration increased to
$118.5 billion, up 4.8% from a year ago. Assets under management in mutual
funds and managed accounts increased to $62.4 billion in the quarter, up 15.7%
from a year ago. CIBC had market share increases during the quarter in key
areas such as credit card outstandings, mortgages, deposits and fixed term
investments.
In the area of personal lending, CIBC's focus on credit quality has been
reflected in improved loan loss performance. Retail loan losses were
$170 million in the third quarter and $505 million for the nine months ended
July 31, 2007, compared with $519 million for the same nine months last year.
Revenue growth in CIBC's personal lending business is expected to converge
with industry levels as CIBC continues to improve its risk profile.
CIBC World Markets reported revenue of $582 million, down from
$726 million in the prior quarter and $677 million for the same period last
year. Net income for the third quarter was $261 million, up from $190 million
a year ago.
CIBC World Markets' results include the mark-to-market write-downs on
CDOs and RMBS related to the U.S. residential mortgage market, the net
reversal of litigation accruals, the impact of changes in credit spreads on
the mark-to-market of corporate loan credit derivatives, higher than normal
merchant banking gains and the tax recovery, all noted previously.
With the exception of its structured credit business, CIBC World Markets
reported solid performance and broad-based business strength. In Canada, CIBC
World Markets advised BCE Inc. with regard to the pending $51.7 billion
acquisition of BCE Inc. by Teachers' Private Capital, Providence Equity
Partners Inc. and Madison Dearborn Partners LLC. CIBC World Markets was also
the lead manager on a $9 billion issue of Canada Mortgage Bonds from Canada
Housing Trust, the largest debt transaction in Canadian history. In the U.S.,
CIBC World Markets' real estate finance business completed a large commercial
mortgage-backed securities offering, acting as co-lead manager with J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. on a US$3.3 billion transaction.
CIBC World Markets continued to demonstrate its leadership in advising
and financing mining companies around the globe, acting as a principal advisor
to Rio Tinto PLC on its announced US$38.1 billion acquisition of Alcan Inc.
Productivity
CIBC's second priority is to improve productivity.
CIBC's target in 2007 is to hold expenses flat to Q4 2006 levels,
excluding the FirstCaribbean acquisition, by absorbing normal inflationary
increases with reductions elsewhere in its cost base. Expenses for the third
quarter of $1,819 million were down from $1,976 million in the prior quarter,
primarily due to the net reversal of litigation accruals and lower than normal
performance-related compensation. CIBC's third quarter expenses included
$94 million related to FirstCaribbean, compared with $99 million in the prior
quarter.
CIBC's efficiency ratio for the third quarter improved to 61.1% from
66.6% for the same period last year. CIBC's cash efficiency ratio (TEB)(1) for
the third quarter improved to 59.4% from 65.0% a year ago.
"Our third quarter results reflect the balance we are seeking between
revenue growth and expense containment," says McCaughey. "We believe that a
balanced approach of generating higher revenue through consistent investment
in core businesses and continued expense discipline is the most effective way
to achieve further productivity improvements."
Balance sheet strength and capital usage
CIBC's third priority is balance sheet strength and capital usage. CIBC's
Tier 1 ratio of 9.7% remains above its medium term target of 8.5%.
"Our first priority in the area of capital usage is to invest in our core
businesses," says McCaughey. "After funding internal growth, we will balance
opportunities for future strategic acquisitions with capital returns to our
shareholders."
During the quarter, CIBC began repurchasing shares under its normal
course issuer bid (NCIB) announced in April, 2007. As of August 30, 2007, CIBC
had repurchased 3.1 million of the maximum 10 million shares allowed under the
NCIB, which expires on October 31, 2007.
Dividends are also an important part of CIBC's capital management plan.
CIBC's dividend payout ratio for the quarter was 33.0%, below its medium term
objective of 40% to 50%. Today, CIBC announced an increase to its common share
dividend of 13% or 10 cents per share (to 87 cents per share), payable
October 29, 2007.
Making a difference in communities
During the quarter, CIBC employees in British Columbia and the Northern
Territories raised more than $400,000 for the 2007 British Columbia Children's
Hospital campaign. Since 1995, CIBC employees have raised more than
$3.2 million for the pediatric hospital that provides expert care for the
province's most seriously ill or injured children.
For a second consecutive year, CIBC was the title sponsor of the CIBC
Charles-Bruneau Tour, a four-day bicycle trip across Quebec that raises funds
for research and treatment of children fighting cancer. With the support of
employees and clients, CIBC raised approximately $90,000 which will be donated
to the Centre de cancérologie Charles-Bruneau at the Sainte-Justine Hospital.
In May, CIBC marked the 140th anniversary of the opening of the first
Canadian Bank of Commerce branch in Toronto on May 15, 1867 at what is now the
Commerce Court main branch. In 1961, the Canadian Bank of Commerce merged with
the Imperial Bank of Canada to create Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.
"On behalf of CIBC's leadership team, I would like to thank all of our
employees for their professionalism, dedication and contribution to serving
our customers over so many years," says McCaughey.

A NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements
within the meaning of certain securities laws, including in this report, in
other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission and in other communications. These statements include, but

operations - Income taxes" sections of this report and other statements about
our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management,
priorities, targets, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook for 2007 and
subsequent periods. Forward- looking statements are typically identified by
the words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate" and other
similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "should,"
"would" and "could." By their nature, these statements require us to make
assumptions including the economic assumptions set out in the "Outlook"

beyond our control, affect our operations, performance and results and could
cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in
any of our forward-looking statements. These factors include: continued
volatility in the U.S. residential mortgage markets; legislative or regulatory
developments in the jurisdictions where we operate; amendments to, and
interpretations of, risk- based capital guidelines and reporting instructions;
the resolution of legal proceedings and related matters; the effect of
applying future accounting changes; changes in our estimates of reserves and
allowances; changes in tax laws; that our estimate of our sustainable
effective tax rate will not be achieved; political conditions and
developments; the possible effect on our business of international conflicts
and the war on terror; natural disasters, public health emergencies and other
catastrophic events; reliance on third parties to provide components of our
business infrastructure; the accuracy and completeness of information provided
to us by clients and counterparties; intensifying competition from established
competitors and new entrants in the financial services industry; technological
change; global capital market activity; interest rate and currency value
fluctuations; general economic conditions worldwide, as well as in Canada, the
U.S. and other countries where we have operations; changes in market rates and
prices which may adversely affect the value of financial products; our success
in developing and introducing new products and services, expanding existing
distribution channels, developing new distribution channels and realizing
increased revenue from these channels; changes in client spending and saving
habits; and our ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with
these factors. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any
of our forward- looking statements. These and other factors should be
considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our
forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement that is contained in this report or other communications.THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Overview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net income for the quarter was $835 million, compared with $662 million
for the same quarter last year and $807 million for the prior quarter. Net
income for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was $2,412 million, compared
with $1,827 million for the same period in 2006.
Our results for the current period were affected by the following items:
- $290 million ($190 million after-tax) mark-to-market losses, net of
gains on related hedges, on collateralized debt obligations (CDOs)
and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) related to the U.S.
residential mortgage market (see page 8 for additional details);
- $75 million ($70 million after-tax) of net reversal of litigation
accruals;
- $77 million ($50 million after-tax) positive impact of changes in
credit spreads on the mark-to-market of our corporate loan credit
derivatives (credit derivatives spread); and
- $48 million of tax recovery.
Compared with Q3, 2006
Net income was up $173 million or 26%. Revenue was up resulting from the
FirstCaribbean International Bank (FirstCaribbean) acquisition, higher
investment banking and credit products and merchant banking revenue, volume
growth in cards, deposits and mortgages, and higher treasury and retail
brokerage revenue. Offsetting these increases were mark-to-market losses on
CDOs and RMBS noted above and spread compression in retail products. Non-
interest expenses were lower, resulting from the net reversal of litigation
accruals noted above and lower performance-related compensation, offset in
part by the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition. Tax recoveries were also
lower in the current quarter.
Compared with Q2, 2007
Net income was up $28 million or 3%. Revenue was down largely driven by
the mark-to-market losses on CDOs and RMBS noted above and spread compression
in retail products. Offsetting these decreases were higher investment banking
and credit products and merchant banking revenue, three more days in the
quarter, higher fee income in retail products, and volume growth in cards,
deposits and mortgages. Non-interest expenses were down resulting from the net
reversal of litigation accruals noted above and lower performance-related
compensation. Tax recoveries were also lower in the current quarter.
Compared with the nine months ended July 31, 2006
Net income was up $585 million or 32%. The FirstCaribbean acquisition,
higher investment banking and credit products and merchant banking revenue,
volume growth in cards, deposits and mortgages, higher treasury revenue, and
higher fee income in retail products contributed to the increase. These were
partially offset by mark-to-market losses on CDOs and RMBS noted above and
spread compression in retail products. Non-interest expenses were higher,
driven by the FirstCaribbean acquisition, offset in part by the net reversal
of litigation accruals. Taxes were lower, mainly due to higher recoveries and
reversals in the current period.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our results for the prior periods were affected by the following items:
Q2, 2007
--------
- Favourable tax-related items of $91 million;
- General allowance reversal of $24 million ($17 million after-tax);
and
- Positive impact of credit derivatives spread of $10 million
($7 million after-tax).
Q1, 2007
--------
- Negative impact of credit derivatives spread of $6 million
($4 million after-tax).
Q3, 2006
--------
- Favourable tax-related items of $62 million;
- Interest expense on U.S. income tax reassessments of $22 million
($12 million after-tax); and
- Positive impact of credit derivatives spread of $13 million
($8 million after-tax).
Q2, 2006
--------
- Favourable tax-related items of $35 million;
- General allowance reversal of $25 million ($16 million after-tax);
- Negative impact of credit derivatives spread of $14 million
($9 million after-tax); and
- Negative impact of an accounting adjustment of $11 million
($7 million after-tax).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outlook
Despite recent financial market weakness, the economic outlook continues
to point to moderate growth over the remainder of calendar 2007 as interest
rates for governments and high grade corporations remain moderate by
historical standards, and the Bank of Canada is not expected to raise rates
further. Canadian housing activity looks to be accelerating, and consumer
spending should be supported by a healthy labour market, enabling steady
growth in retail lending balances.
While investment banking activities and capital markets are difficult to
predict, market liquidity will likely be less supportive of leveraged M&A
activity, and volatile equity markets could reduce new issuance. Credit
spreads may remain wider and more volatile until the market gains clarity over
global default rates, which outside of U.S. sub-prime and second lien
mortgages, have been very low thus far, but which could increase after the
past year's rise in leveraged buyout activity.

Net interest income
Net interest income was up $59 million or 5% from the same quarter last
year and up $13 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 from the same
period in 2006. The increase was mainly due to the impact of the
FirstCaribbean acquisition, volume growth in cards, deposits and mortgages and
higher treasury revenue. These were partially offset by lower trading revenue
and spread compression in retail products. The prior year quarter included a
hedge accounting reclassification from non-interest income.
Net interest income was up $101 million or 9% from the prior quarter,
primarily due to three more days in the quarter, volume growth in cards,
deposits and mortgages, higher fee income on mortgages, and higher trading
revenue. These increases were partially offset by spread compression in retail
products.
Non-interest income
Non-interest income was up $94 million or 6% from the same quarter last
year, primarily due to higher fees for services (underwriting and advisory,
mutual funds and investment management and custodial), higher gains associated
with corporate loan hedging programs, and revenue on financial instruments
designated at fair value (the majority of which were classified as trading in
2006). Realized gains net of write-downs on available-for-sale (AFS)
securities (classified in 2006 as investment securities and limited
partnership investments) were also higher. In addition, the current quarter
benefited from the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition. The prior year
quarter included a hedge accounting reclassification to net interest income.
These factors were partially offset by lower trading revenue, resulting mainly
from the mark-to-market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above.
Non-interest income was down $172 million or 9% from the prior quarter,
primarily due to lower trading revenue, resulting mainly from the mark-to-
market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above. The decrease was partially
offset by higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging programs and
higher gains net of write-downs on AFS securities and equity-accounted
investments.
Non-interest income for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up
$646 million or 13% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher
realized gains net of write-downs on AFS securities (classified in 2006 as
investment securities and limited partnership investments), higher fees for
services (underwriting and advisory, mutual funds, investment management and
custodial), and revenue on financial instruments designated at fair value (the
majority of which were classified as trading in 2006). The current period also
benefited from higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging programs
and the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition. The prior year quarter
included a hedge accounting reclassification to net interest income. These
factors were partially offset by lower trading revenue, largely due to the
mark-to-market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was up $10 million or 7% from the same
quarter last year, mainly due to volume-driven higher losses in the cards
portfolio and the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Provision for credit losses was down $4 million or 2% from the prior
quarter, largely due to lower losses in the cards and small business
portfolios, partially offset by higher losses in the personal lending
portfolios. In addition, the corporate lending portfolio had higher recoveries
net of losses. The prior quarter included the $24 million reversal of the
general allowance.
Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was
up $15 million or 3% from the same period in 2006. Volume-driven higher losses
in the cards portfolio, lower reversals and recoveries in the corporate
lending portfolio, and the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition were
partially offset by improvements in the personal lending portfolio.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were down $64 million or 3% from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to the net reversal of litigation accruals noted
above and lower performance-related compensation, partially offset by the
impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Non-interest expenses were down $157 million or 8% from the prior
quarter, primarily due to the net reversal of litigation accruals noted above
and lower performance-related compensation.
Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 were up
$142 million or 3% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to the impact
of the FirstCaribbean acquisition, offset in part by the net reversal of
litigation accruals noted above.
Income taxes
Income taxes were up $32 million or 26% from the same quarter last year,
mainly due to higher income and lower income tax recoveries. These were
partially offset by an increase in the relative proportion of earnings subject
to lower rates of tax, including a lower effective tax rate on the net
reversal of litigation accruals noted above.
Income taxes were up $66 million or 73% from the prior quarter due to the
reasons noted above and lower income tax reversals.
Income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 were down
$74 million or 13% from the same period in 2006, mainly due to higher income
tax recoveries and reversals and an increase in the relative proportion of
earnings subject to lower rates of tax. The prior period included a tax
expense of $47 million on the repatriation of capital and retained earnings
from our non-U.S. foreign operations.
The effective tax rate was 15.7% for the quarter, compared with 15.8% for
the same quarter last year and 10.0% for the prior quarter. The effective tax
rate for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was 16.5% compared with 23.0% for
the same period in 2006.
The adjusted effective tax and taxable equivalent (TEB) rates for the
quarter ended July 31, 2007 (excluding the income tax recovery of $48 million
and an adjustment of $21 million related to the lower effective tax rate
applied to the net reversal of litigation accruals) were 22.6%(1) and
27.4%(1), respectively.
While rates will vary from quarter to quarter, our current estimate is
that the adjusted sustainable effective tax rate will be in the 20-23% range
and the adjusted sustainable TEB tax rate will be in the 24-27% range. These
rates are determined based on the estimated earnings in various jurisdictions
over the near term and the expected enacted tax rates in these jurisdictions.
The impact of one-time items is excluded.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assets
Total assets as at July 31, 2007 were up $34.9 billion or 11% from
October 31, 2006.
Cash and deposits with banks increased as a result of normal treasury
funding requirements and the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
The increase in securities driven by the FirstCaribbean acquisition and
the reclassification of limited partnerships from other assets on November 1,
2006 under the new financial instruments accounting standards was partially
offset by a decrease in trading securities in our wholesale banking reflecting
normal trading activities.
The increase in securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements
was primarily due to normal client-driven business activities.
Loans increased largely due to volume growth in residential mortgages
(net of securitizations) and cards. The FirstCaribbean acquisition also
contributed to the increase.
Derivative instruments market valuation increased primarily due to volume
growth, higher mark-to-market gains on credit derivatives, and the
reclassification of hedging derivative instruments from other assets under the
new financial instruments accounting standards.
Other assets increased mainly due to an increase in acceptances, and
goodwill and other intangible assets acquired resulting from the
FirstCaribbean acquisition. These increases were partially offset by the
reclassification of hedging derivative instruments to derivative instruments
market valuation and investment in limited partnerships to AFS securities,
both under the new financial instruments accounting standards. In addition, as
a result of acquiring control, our investment in FirstCaribbean is no longer
included in other assets.
Liabilities
Total liabilities as at July 31, 2007 were up $33.8 billion or 12% from
October 31, 2006.
Deposits increased mainly due to volume growth attributed to funding
requirements and client-driven activities. The FirstCaribbean acquisition also
contributed to the increase.
Derivative instruments market valuation increased primarily due to volume
growth, higher mark-to-market losses on credit derivatives, and the
reclassification of hedging derivative instruments from other liabilities
under the new financial instruments accounting standards.
The increase in obligations related to securities lent or sold short or
under repurchase agreements is largely as a result of normal increases from
client-driven and treasury funding activities. The FirstCaribbean acquisition
also contributed to the increase.
Subordinated indebtedness increased primarily due to new issuance and the
FirstCaribbean acquisition.
The increase in non-controlling interests mainly represents the minority
interest in FirstCaribbean.
Shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity as at July 31, 2007 was up $1.1 billion or 9% from
October 31, 2006, primarily due to an increase in retained earnings.
FirstCaribbean International Bank
On December 22, 2006, we obtained control of FirstCaribbean International
Bank (FirstCaribbean) by acquiring a further 39.3% ownership interest from
Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays) (FirstCaribbean acquisition). After completing
the transaction, we owned approximately 83.0% of the common shares of
FirstCaribbean with the remaining common shares held by both Barclays and
other minority shareholders. The transaction took place at a share price of
US$1.62 plus accrued dividends with a total transaction value of
US$989 million ($1,153 million), which we paid in cash to Barclays. In
addition, we incurred transaction costs, net of tax, of US$7 million
($8 million).
On February 2, 2007, pursuant to a tender offer at the same price for the
remaining common shares held by Barclays and the other minority shareholders,
we acquired an additional 8.5% interest in FirstCaribbean in exchange for
additional cash consideration of US$212 million ($250 million), bringing our
total ownership to 91.5%. In addition, we incurred additional transaction
costs, net of tax, of US$2 million ($2 million).
For additional details, see Note 2 to the interim consolidated financial
statements. As a result of subsequent transactions, including the sale of
two million shares of our holding to FirstCaribbean's compensation trusts, our
ownership interest as at July 31, 2007 declined to 91.4%.
Exposures to U.S. residential mortgage market
During the quarter, we had mark-to-market losses, net of related hedges,
of $290 million ($190 million after-tax) on CDOs and RMBS related to the U.S.
residential mortgage market. As at July 31, 2007, our exposure to the U.S.
residential mortgage market was approximately US$1.7 billion (excluding
exposure directly hedged with other counterparties). We estimate that less
than 60% of this exposure related to underlying sub-prime mortgages, while the
remainder was mid-prime and higher grade assets. The exposure has been
mitigated by sub-prime index hedges of approximately US$300 million.
Liquidity facilities to asset-backed commercial paper (ABCP) conduits
As at July 31, 2007, the total backstop liquidity facilities committed by
CIBC to ABCP conduits in Canada and the U.S. was approximately $20 billion. Of
these committed facilities, approximately 85% of the amount was for the
benefit of CIBC sponsored Canadian ABCP conduits.
Contingent liabilities
CIBC is a party to a number of legal proceedings, including regulatory
investigations, in the ordinary course of its business. While there exists an
inherent difficulty in predicting the outcome of any such matters, based on
current knowledge and consultation with legal counsel, we do not expect that
the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in aggregate, would have
a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. However, the
outcome of any such matters, individually or in aggregate, may be material to
our operating results for a particular period.

Our quarterly results are modestly affected by seasonal factors. The
first quarter is normally characterized by increased credit card purchases
over the holiday period. 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 activities.
The acquisition of FirstCaribbean resulted in increased revenue in CIBC
Retail Markets in the first three quarters of 2007. Mark-to-market losses, net
of related hedges, on CDOs and RMBS related to the U.S. residential mortgage
market resulted in lower revenue for CIBC World Markets in the current
quarter, while merchant banking gains net of write-downs contributed to higher
revenue in the fourth quarter of 2005. Foreign exchange revenue on the
repatriation of capital and retained earnings from our foreign operations led
to an increase in revenue in Corporate and Other in the second quarter of 2006
and the fourth quarter of 2005.
Retail lending provisions increased in the first three quarters of 2007
largely due to volume-driven higher losses in the cards portfolio and the
impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition. Reversals of the general allowance
were included in the second quarters of 2007 and 2006 and the fourth quarters
of 2006 and 2005.
Expenses of FirstCaribbean were included in the first three quarters of
2007. Net reversal of litigation accruals and lower performance-related
compensation led to a decrease in expenses in the third quarter of 2007.
Severance costs were higher in the fourth quarter of 2005.
Income tax recoveries related to the favourable resolution of various
income tax audits and reduced tax contingencies were included in the second
and third quarters of 2007, the last three quarters of 2006 and the fourth
quarter of 2005. The third quarter of 2007 benefited from a lower effective
tax rate on the net reversal of litigation accruals. Income tax expense on the
repatriation of capital and retained earnings from our foreign operations was
also included in the second quarter of 2006 and the fourth quarter of 2005.

Financial overview
Net income was up $68 million or 14% from the same quarter last year.
Revenue increased as a result of the FirstCaribbean acquisition, volume growth
in cards, deposits and mortgages, and higher securitization and retail
brokerage revenue, partially offset by spread compression. Non-interest
expenses were higher resulting from the FirstCaribbean acquisition. The prior
year quarter benefited from $35 million of income tax recoveries.
Net income was down $28 million or 5% from the prior quarter. Revenue was
up due to higher fee income across all business lines, three more days in the
quarter, volume growth in cards, deposits and mortgages, and higher
securitization revenue, partially offset by spread compression. The prior
quarter benefited from a tax recovery of $80 million related to the favourable
resolution of an income tax audit.
Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up $311 million or
23% from the same period in 2006. The increase in revenue was due mainly to
the FirstCaribbean acquisition, volume growth in cards, deposits and
mortgages, and higher fee income in retail brokerage, mortgages and cards and
securitization revenue, partially offset by spread compression. Non-interest
expenses were up largely as a result of the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Revenue
FirstCaribbean revenue is included from the date of acquisition on
December 22, 2006. Prior to December 22, 2006, FirstCaribbean was equity-
accounted and the revenue was included in "Other".

Retail brokerage revenue was up $33 million, primarily due to higher fee-
based revenue resulting from growth in asset values.
Cards revenue was up $27 million, mainly due to volume growth.
Mortgages and personal lending revenue was up $41 million. Higher
securitization revenue, higher fee income from seasonal mortgage refinancings,
and volume growth in mortgages contributed to the increase. These were
partially offset by spread compression.
Asset management revenue was up $7 million, mainly due to higher fee
income driven by growth in average funds managed, partially offset by higher
internal commissions paid to retail brokerage and Imperial Service.
Other revenue was down $29 million, mainly due to lower insurance revenue
and treasury revenue allocations.
Revenue was up $70 million or 3% from the prior quarter.
Personal and small business banking and Imperial Service revenue were up
primarily due to higher internal commissions received from mortgages and
personal lending, three more days in the quarter, increased fee income, and
volume growth.
Cards revenue was up $7 million, mainly due to volume growth, three more
days in the quarter, and higher fee income, partially offset by spread
compression.
Mortgages and personal lending revenue was up $39 million. Higher fee
income from seasonal mortgage refinancings, higher securitization revenue, and
three more days in the quarter contributed to the increase. These increases
were partially offset by spread compression and higher internal commissions
paid to personal and small business banking and Imperial Service.
Other revenue was down $13 million, mainly due to lower treasury revenue
allocations.
Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up $518 million or 9%
from the same period in 2006.
Personal and small business banking revenue was up $22 million, primarily
due to volume growth, partially offset by lower internal commissions received
from mortgages and personal lending.

based revenue resulting from growth in asset values, partially offset by lower
trading commissions.

securitization revenue, volume growth in mortgages, and higher fee income from
seasonal mortgage refinancings were partially offset by spread compression.
Asset management revenue was up $15 million due to higher fee income
driven by growth in average funds managed, partially offset by higher internal
commissions paid to retail brokerage and Imperial Service.
Provision for credit losses
Provision for credit losses was up $11 million or 7% from the same
quarter last year, largely due to volume-driven increased losses in the cards
portfolio and the impact of the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Provision for credit losses was down $12 million or 7% from the prior
quarter, primarily due to lower losses in the cards and small business
portfolios, offset in part by higher losses in the personal lending portfolio.
Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was
down $14 million or 3% from the same period in 2006, largely due to
improvements in the personal lending portfolio, partially offset by volume-
driven increased losses in the cards portfolio and the impact of the
FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were up $90 million or 7% from the same quarter
last year and up $249 million or 7% for the nine months ended July 31, 2007
from the same period in 2006, largely due to the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Non-interest expenses were down $12 million or 1% from the prior quarter,
primarily due to lower communication expenses.
Income taxes
Income taxes were up $47 million or 33% from the same quarter last year
and up $124 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to the tax
recoveries noted above. Higher income in the quarter also contributed to the
increase in income taxes.
Income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 were down
$44 million or 9% from the same period in 2006, mainly due to an increase in
the relative proportion of earnings subject to lower rates of tax.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests represents the minority interest in
FirstCaribbean.
Regular workforce headcount
The regular workforce headcount was up 3,901 from the same quarter last
year, largely due to the FirstCaribbean acquisition and a realignment of staff
from Administration, Technology and Operations.

allocated to investment banking and credit products was transferred
to commercial banking on a retroactive basis.
Financial overview
Net income was up $71 million or 37% from the same quarter last year.
Revenue was down largely due to the mark-to-market losses, net of related
hedges, of $290 million ($190 million after-tax) on CDOs and RMBS related to
the U.S. residential mortgage market, offset in part by higher investment
banking and credit products and merchant banking revenue. Non-interest
expenses were lower mainly due to the $75 million net reversal of litigation
accruals. Taxes were also lower resulting from the lower effective tax rate on
the net reversal of litigation accruals noted above.
Net income was up $67 million or 35% from the prior quarter. Revenue and
non-interest expenses were lower due to the reasons noted above. Income taxes
were lower primarily due to the tax recovery of $48 million and the lower
effective tax rate on the net reversal of litigation accruals noted above.
Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up $237 million or
55% from the same period in 2006. Revenue increased mainly due to higher
investment banking and credit products and merchant banking revenue, offset in
part by the mark-to-market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above. Non-
interest expenses were lower resulting from the net reversal of litigation
accruals noted above. Taxes were also lower due to the lower effective tax
rate on the net reversal of litigation accruals noted above.
Revenue
Revenue was down $95 million or 14% from the same quarter last year.
Capital markets revenue was down $297 million, driven by the mark-to-
market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above.
Investment banking and credit products revenue was up $111 million,
primarily due to higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging programs,
higher U.S. and Canadian investment banking revenue, and higher revenue in a
consolidated variable interest entity (VIE).
Merchant banking revenue was up $71 million, resulting from higher gains
net of write-downs.
Other revenue was up $25 million, primarily due to lower interest expense
on tax settlements.
Revenue was down $144 million or 20% from the prior quarter.
Capital markets revenue was down $323 million, driven by the mark-to-
market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above and lower revenue in equity and
commodity structured products, and Canadian and U.S. equities.
Investment banking and credit products revenue was up $81 million,
primarily due to higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging programs,
higher U.S. and Canadian investment banking revenue, and higher revenue in a
consolidated VIE. These increases were partially offset by lower revenue in
U.S. real estate finance, which completed its largest commercial mortgage-
backed securities offering in the prior quarter.
Merchant banking revenue was up $76 million, resulting from higher gains
net of write-downs.
Other revenue was up $27 million, primarily due to higher treasury
revenue allocations and interest income on tax settlements.
Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up $129 million or 7%
from the same period in 2006.
Capital markets revenue was down $222 million, primarily due to the mark-
to-market losses on the CDOs and RMBS noted above, partially offset by higher
revenue in equity and commodity structured products and Canadian equities.
Investment banking and credit products revenue was up $206 million,
primarily due to higher gains associated with corporate loan hedging programs,
and higher revenue in a consolidated VIE, investment banking, and U.S. real
estate finance.
Merchant banking revenue was up $152 million, resulting from higher gains
net of write-downs.
Other revenue was up $27 million, primarily due to lower interest expense
on tax settlements.
(Recovery of) provision for credit losses
Recovery of credit losses was $8 million, compared with a provision of
$4 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to net reversals in commercial
banking and higher recoveries in the U.S.
Recovery of credit losses for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was
down $24 million or 63% from the same period in 2006, as higher recoveries in
Europe and lower losses net of recoveries in commercial banking were more than
offset by higher losses net of recoveries in the U.S.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were down $134 million or 26% from the same quarter
last year and down $140 million or 27% from the prior quarter, primarily due
to the net reversal of litigation accruals noted above and lower performance-
related compensation.
Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 were down
$97 million or 6% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to the net
reversal of litigation accruals noted above.
Income taxes
Income tax benefit was up $31 million from the same quarter last year,
primarily due to the lower effective tax rate on the net reversal of
litigation accruals noted above.
Income tax benefit was $56 million, compared with an income tax expense
of $1 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to the tax recovery and the
lower effective tax rate on the net reversal of litigation accruals noted
above.
Income tax benefit for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was
$22 million, compared with an income tax expense of $14 million from the same
period in 2006, primarily due to the lower effective tax rate on the net
reversal of litigation accruals noted above.
Regular workforce headcount
The regular workforce headcount was up 87 from the same quarter last
year, primarily due to a realignment of staff from Administration, Technology
and Operations into commercial banking.
Corporate and Other
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate and Other comprises the five functional groups -
Administration, Technology and Operations; Corporate Development; Finance;
Legal and Regulatory Compliance; and Risk Management - that support CIBC's
business lines, as well as CIBC Mellon joint ventures, and other income
statement and balance sheet items, including the general allowance, not
directly attributable to the business lines. The general allowance applicable
to FirstCaribbean is determined locally and is included in CIBC Retail
Markets. The revenue and expenses of the functional groups are generally
allocated to the business lines.
During the quarter, we moved the Treasury function from Treasury and Risk
Management (TRM) into Finance. TRM was subsequently renamed Risk Management.

Financial overview
Net income was $19 million, compared with a net loss of $15 million from
the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher revenue from treasury and
lower unallocated corporate support costs.
Net income was down $11 million or 37% from the prior quarter, primarily
due to the reversal of the general allowance for credit losses in the prior
quarter, partially offset by higher earnings from the CIBC Mellon joint
ventures and lower unallocated corporate support costs.
Net income for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up $37 million or
88% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher revenue from
treasury and CIBC Mellon joint ventures and lower project costs, partially
offset by higher unallocated corporate support costs.
Revenue
Revenue was up $27 million or 24% from the same quarter last year,
primarily due to higher revenue from treasury and CIBC Mellon joint ventures.
Revenue for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 was up $12 million or 3%
from the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher revenue from treasury
and CIBC Mellon joint ventures. The prior year period included foreign
exchange revenue of $47 million on the repatriation of capital and retained
earnings from our non-U.S. foreign operation and revenue from a VIE which was
deconsolidated as of July 31, 2006.
Recovery of credit losses
A $20 million reversal of the general allowance for credit losses was
included in the nine months ended July 31, 2007, compared with $25 million in
the prior year period.
Non-interest expenses
Non-interest expenses were down $20 million or 18% from the same quarter
last year, primarily due to lower unallocated corporate support costs.
Non-interest expenses for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 were down
$10 million or 3% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to lower project
costs, partially offset by higher unallocated corporate support costs.
Income taxes
Income taxes were up $16 million from the same quarter last year,
primarily due to higher income.
Income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2007 were up $6 million
or 9% from the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher income subject to
tax. The prior year period included an income tax expense of $47 million on
the repatriation noted above.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests in the third quarter of 2006 and the nine
months ended July 31, 2006 represents the minority interest in a consolidated
VIE. The VIE was deconsolidated as of July 31, 2006.
Regular workforce headcount
The regular workforce headcount was down 454 from the same quarter last
year, primarily due to the reduction of back office functions and the
realignment of staff to the business groups. These decreases were partially
offset by the transfer of staff from an external service provider relating to
the repatriation of desktop support and related network management services to
CIBC.
Management of risk
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our approach to the management of risk and capital resources has not
changed significantly from that described on pages 53 to 66 of the 2006 Annual
Accountability Report.

Consumer gross impaired loans were up $140 million or 36%. Business and
government gross impaired loans were up $153 million or 63%. Total gross
impaired loans decreased $20 million in Canada, increased $14 million in the
U.S. and $299 million in other countries. The overall increase in gross
impaired loans was largely due to the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
Allowance for credit losses was up $56 million or 4% from October 31,
2006. Specific allowance was up $64 million or 12% from the year-end,
primarily due to the FirstCaribbean acquisition. This increase was partially
offset by a reduction in the specific allowance of the remainder of the loan
portfolio. The general allowance totalled $892 million, down $8 million from
the year-end. The reversal of $26 million of general allowance, and a transfer
of $5 million to specific allowance related to the student loans portfolio
were largely offset by the FirstCaribbean acquisition.
For details on the provision for credit losses, see the "Review of
consolidated statement of operations" section.
Management of market risk
Trading activities
------------------
The following table shows Value-at-Risk (VaR) by risk-type for CIBC's
trading activities. Total average risk was down from the same quarter last
year primarily due to lower levels of equity risk and increased portfolio
diversification, partially offset by higher levels of credit spread risk.
Credit spread risk increased during the quarter primarily due to higher spread
levels for structured credit assets.
Trading revenue (TEB)(A) was positive for 66% of the days in the quarter
and 79% of the days for the nine months ended July 31, 2007. Trading losses
exceeded VaR for three days during the quarter, reflecting losses on
structured credit assets, which were marked-to-market periodically.

Management of liquidity risk
Consistent with our liquidity risk mitigation strategies, we continue to
source term funding in the wholesale markets from a variety of clients and
geographic locations, borrowing across a range of maturities using a mix of
funding instruments.
Core personal deposits remain a prime source of dependable retail
funding. As at July 31, 2007, Canadian dollar deposits from individuals
totalled $83.0 billion (October 31, 2006: $77.4 billion).
Strategies for managing liquidity risk include maintaining diversified
sources of wholesale term funding, asset securitization initiatives, capital
and subordinated debt issuance, and maintenance of segregated pools of high-
quality liquid assets that can be sold or pledged as security to provide a
ready source of cash.
The following table summarizes our liquid assets:

In the course of our regular business activities, certain assets are
pledged as part of collateral management, including those necessary for
day-to-day clearing and settlement of payments and securities. Pledged assets
as at July 31, 2007 totalled $26.0 billion (October 31, 2006: $25.5 billion).
Management of capital resources
Regulatory capital
------------------
We manage capital in accordance with policies established by the Board
and a Board-approved annual capital plan.
Regulatory capital is determined in accordance with guidelines issued by
the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Total capital ratio 13.7% 14.5%
Assets-to-capital multiple 19.4x 18.0x
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our Tier 1 ratio was down 0.7% from the year-end, largely due to an
increase in risk-weighted assets and goodwill, both arising from the
acquisition of FirstCaribbean. These factors were partially offset by the
increase in consolidated retained earnings, and the minority interest in
FirstCaribbean.
Our Total capital ratio was down 0.8% from the year-end, largely due to
the factors noted above and reduction in subordinated indebtedness eligible
for inclusion in Tier 2 capital.

For additional details, see Note 5 to the interim consolidated financial
statements.
Normal course issuer bid
------------------------
On April 30, 2007, the Toronto Stock Exchange accepted our notice of
intention to commence a normal course issuer bid. Purchases under this bid
commenced on May 2, 2007 and will conclude on the earlier of the termination
of the bid, the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed, or
October 31, 2007. Under this bid, from time to time we may purchase for
cancellation up to 10 million common shares.
Common shares purchased during the quarter are included in the table
above.
Dividends
---------
During the second quarter of 2007, we increased our quarterly common
share dividend from $0.70 per share to $0.77 per share. Subsequent to the
quarter end, on August 30, 2007, we announced an increase to our quarterly
common share dividend of 13% or 10 cents per share (to 87 cents per share).
Off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations
----------------------------------------------------------
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We enter into several types of off-balance sheet arrangements in the
normal course of our business. These include transactions with VIEs,
derivatives, credit-related arrangements and guarantees. Details on our off-
balance sheet arrangements are provided on pages 67 to 69 of the 2006 Annual
Accountability Report. For additional details on securitizations and
guarantees, see the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.
There were no other significant changes to off-balance sheet arrangements for
the three and nine months ended July 31, 2007.
Contractual obligations
Details on our contractual obligations are provided on page 69 of the
2006 Annual Accountability Report.
On November 1, 2006, we amended an information technology services
contract with an external service provider to extend an existing three year
commitment to seven years, and thereby increased the purchase obligation by
approximately $600 million through 2013. There were no significant changes to
contractual obligations that were not in the ordinary course of our business.
Critical accounting policies and estimates
------------------------------------------
A summary of significant accounting policies is presented in Note 1 to
the 2006 consolidated financial statements.
Certain accounting policies of CIBC are critical to understanding the
results of operations and financial condition of CIBC. These critical
accounting policies require management to make certain judgments and
estimates, some of which may relate to matters that are uncertain. Significant
changes in accounting policies were adopted on November 1, 2006 related to the
financial instruments standards noted below. For a description of the
judgments and estimates involved in the application of critical accounting
policies and assumptions made for pension and other benefit plans, see pages
70 to 73 of the 2006 Annual Accountability Report.
Changes in accounting policy
----------------------------
Financial instruments
On November 1, 2006, we adopted the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Accountants (CICA) handbook sections 3855 "Financial Instruments - Recognition
and Measurement," 3865 "Hedges" (including the amendments to the transitional
provisions finalized by the CICA on December 15, 2006 by way of a Board
Notice), 1530 "Comprehensive Income," and 3251 "Equity."
The standards require that all financial assets be classified as trading,
designated at fair value, available for sale, held to maturity, or loans and
receivables. In addition, the standards require that all financial assets,
including all derivatives, be measured at fair value with the exception of
loans and receivables, debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, and
available-for-sale equities that do not have quoted market values in an active
market. All financial liabilities must be recorded at amortized cost with the
exception of derivatives and other financial liabilities classified as trading
or designated at fair value, which must be carried at fair value. As required,
these standards have been applied as an adjustment to opening retained
earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). As a result,
retained earnings decreased by $50 million; and AOCI increased by
$123 million, excluding the impact of the reclassification of the foreign
currency translation adjustments opening balance to AOCI. Prior period
balances have not been restated.
For further details, see Note 1 to the interim consolidated financial
statements.
Future accounting changes
-------------------------
Leveraged leases
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 13-2, "Accounting for a Change or Projected
Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a
Leveraged Lease Transaction," which amends Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard 13, "Accounting for Leases," certain aspects of which are
incorporated in the CICA Emerging Issues Committee Abstract (EIC) 46,
"Leveraged Leases." The FSP is effective for CIBC beginning November 1, 2007.
For additional details, see page 130 of our 2006 Annual Accountability
Report.
Capital disclosures
In December 2006, the CICA issued a new handbook section 1535, "Capital
Disclosures," which requires an entity to disclose its objectives, policies
and processes for managing capital. This new standard is effective for CIBC
beginning November 1, 2007.
Financial instruments
In December 2006, the CICA issued two new handbook sections, 3862
"Financial Instruments - Disclosures" and 3863 "Financial Instruments -
Presentation." These new standards are effective for CIBC beginning November
1, 2007.
These sections replace CICA handbook section 3861, "Financial Instruments
- Disclosure and Presentation." These new sections enhance disclosure
requirements on the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
instruments and how the entity manages those risks.
Controls and procedures
-----------------------
Disclosure controls and procedures
CIBC's management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness, as at July 31,
2007, of CIBC's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the rules of
the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators) and has concluded that
such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in CIBC's internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2007 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control
over financial reporting.
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, while
other measures do not have a standardized meaning under GAAP, and,
accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by
other companies. Investors may find these non-GAAP financial measures useful
in analyzing financial performance. For a more detailed discussion on our non-
GAAP measures, see page 37 of the 2006 Annual Accountability Report.
In the first quarter of 2007, we introduced the cash basis measures which
include: basic and diluted EPS and cash efficiency ratio. Cash basis measures
are calculated by adjusting the amortization of other intangible assets to net
income and non-interest expenses. Management believes these measures permit
uniform measurement, which may enable users of our financial information to
make comparisons more readily.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP to GAAP
measures:

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce and its subsidiaries (CIBC) have been prepared
in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). These financial statements follow the same accounting policies
and their methods of application as CIBC's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended October 31, 2006, except as noted below.
CIBC's interim consolidated financial statements do not include all
disclosures required by Canadian GAAP for annual financial statements
and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2006, as set out on
pages 80 to 130 of the 2006 Annual Accountability Report.
During the first quarter of 2007, we revisited our presentation of
certain revenue and expense items for prior periods to better reflect the
nature of these items. Accordingly, certain comparative amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the first
quarter of 2007.
1. Change in accounting policy
On November 1, 2006, we adopted the CICA handbook sections 3855
"Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement," 3865 "Hedges"
(including the amendments to the transitional provisions finalized by the
CICA on December 15, 2006 by way of a Board Notice), 1530 "Comprehensive
Income," and 3251 "Equity."
The standards require that all financial assets be classified as trading,
designated at fair value (FVO), available-for-sale (AFS), held-to-
maturity (HTM), or loans and receivables. The investment securities
classification is no longer applicable under the new rules. In addition,
the standards require that all financial assets, including all
derivatives, be measured at fair value with the exception of loans and
receivables, debt securities classified as HTM, and AFS equities that do
not have quoted market values in an active market.
Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available from active
markets, otherwise fair values are estimated using a variety of valuation
techniques and models. Commencing November 1, 2006, quoted market values
of financial assets and liabilities classified as trading or FVO are in
reference to bid or ask prices where available, as appropriate, instead
of closing prices. Where bid and ask prices are unavailable, we continue
to use the closing price.
Transaction costs related to trading and FVO securities are expensed as
incurred. Transaction costs related to AFS and HTM securities and fees
and costs relating to loans and receivables are generally capitalized and
are then amortized over the expected life of the instrument using the
effective yield method.
Settlement date accounting continues to be used for all securities,
except that changes in fair value between the trade date and settlement
date are reflected in income for trading and FVO securities, while
changes in fair value between trade date and settlement date are
reflected in "Other comprehensive income (OCI)" for AFS securities.
Classification of financial instruments
Trading financial instruments are financial assets and liabilities held
for trading activities and are measured at fair value at the balance
sheet date. Gains and losses realized on disposition and unrealized gains
and losses from market fluctuations are reported in income as "Trading
revenue." Dividends and interest earned and interest incurred are
included in "Interest income" and "Interest expense," respectively.
Designated at fair value (FVO) financial assets and financial liabilities
are those that an entity designates on initial recognition as instruments
that it will measure at fair value through the consolidated statement of
operations. These are accounted for in the same manner as trading
financial assets and financial liabilities. In addition to the
requirement that reliable fair values are available, there are regulatory
restrictions imposed by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial
Institutions (OSFI) on the use of this designation precluding direct
retail asset exposures from being designated and requiring fair value
designated financial instruments be managed on a fair value basis.
Available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets are those non-derivative
financial assets that are designated as AFS, or that are not classified
as loans and receivables, HTM investments, trading or designated at fair
value. Securities included in this category comprise debt and equity
securities, including investments over which we have no significant
influence. Except for equities that do not have quoted market values in
an active market, AFS securities are carried at fair value whereby the
unrealized gains and losses are included in "Accumulated other
comprehensive income (AOCI)" until sale or other-than-temporary
impairment when the cumulative gain or loss is transferred to the
consolidated statement of operations. Equities that do not have quoted
market values in an active market are carried at cost. Realized gains and
losses on sale, determined on an average cost basis, and write-downs to
reflect other-than-temporary impairments in value are included in "Non-
interest income." Dividends and interest income from these securities are
included in "Interest income."
Held-to-maturity (HTM) financial assets are non-derivative financial
assets with fixed or determinable payments and a fixed maturity, other
than loans and receivables, that an entity has the positive intention and
ability to hold to maturity. These financial assets are accounted for at
amortized cost. We have not currently designated any financial assets as
HTM.
Loans and receivables continue to be accounted for at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities are recorded at amortized cost except for
derivatives, obligations related to securities sold short, or liabilities
to which the FVO has been applied.
Obligations related to securities sold short are accounted for at fair
value as a trading liability or as an economic hedge of another financial
instrument.
Derivatives are always carried at fair value and are reported as assets
where they have a positive fair value and as liabilities where they have
a negative fair value, in both cases as "Derivative instruments market
valuation." Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are
valued as separate derivatives when their economic characteristics and
risks are not clearly and closely related to those of the host contract;
the terms of the embedded derivative are the same as those of a free
standing derivative; and the combined contract is not held for trading or
designated at fair value. These embedded derivatives are classified
together with the host instrument and measured at fair value with changes
therein recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. We
elected to apply this accounting treatment to all host contracts
containing such embedded derivatives at November 1, 2006.
Equity
Accumulated other comprehensive income is included on the consolidated
balance sheet as a separate component of shareholders' equity (net of
tax), and includes net unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities, the
effective portion of gains and losses on derivative instruments
designated within effective cash flow hedges, and unrealized foreign
currency translation gains and losses on self-sustaining foreign
operations net of gains or losses on related hedges.
Hedge accounting
Where derivatives are held for risk management purposes, and when
transactions meet the criteria specified in the CICA handbook section
3865, we apply fair value hedge accounting, cash flow hedge accounting,
or accounting for hedges of net investments in self-sustaining foreign
operations (NIFO), as appropriate, to account for the risks being hedged.
When hedge accounting is not applied, the change in the fair value of the
derivative is always recognized in income, including for instruments used
for economic hedging purposes such as seller swaps that do not meet the
requirements for hedge accounting.
In order for derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge
relationship must be designated and formally documented at its inception
in accordance with the CICA handbook section 3865, outlining the
particular risk management objective and strategy, the specific asset,
liability or cash flow being hedged, as well as how hedge effectiveness
is assessed.
We document our assessment of the effectiveness of the derivatives that
are used in hedging transactions in offsetting changes in fair values or
cash flows of the hedged items both at the hedge inception and on an
ongoing basis. Ineffectiveness results to the extent that the changes in
the fair value of the hedging derivative differ from changes in the fair
value of the hedged risk in the hedged item; or the cumulative change in
the fair value of the hedging derivative differs from the cumulative
change in the fair value of expected future cash flows of the hedged
item. Effectiveness requires a high correlation of changes in fair values
or cash flows. The amount of ineffectiveness, provided that it is not to
the extent as to disqualify the entire hedge from hedge accounting, is
recorded immediately in income.
The change in fair value of derivatives and non-derivatives not
designated as accounting hedges but used to economically hedge FVO
financial assets or liabilities is included in "Revenue on financial
instruments designated at fair value and related economic hedges." The
change in fair value of other derivatives not designated as accounting
hedges but used for other economic hedging purposes is included in either
"Foreign exchange other than trading (FXOTT)" or "Other non-interest
income." The change in fair value of all other trading derivatives is
included in "Trading revenue."
Fair value hedges
-----------------
We designate fair value hedges primarily as part of interest rate risk
management strategies that use derivatives to hedge changes in the fair
value of financial instruments with fixed interest rates. These hedges
minimize fluctuations in income that are caused by interest rate
volatility through the creation of basis adjustments to the hedged
financial instruments that are recognized in "Net interest income"
against the change in fair value recognized in "Net interest income" from
the hedging derivatives. Accordingly, any hedge ineffectiveness,
representing the difference between change in fair value of the hedging
derivative and the change in the basis adjustment to the hedged item, is
also recognized in "Net interest income."
The basis adjustment included in income is equal to the change in fair
value of the hedged item attributed to the risk being hedged. If the
hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or where
the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the hedge
relationship is terminated and the basis adjustment to the hedged item is
amortized over the remaining term of the original hedge. If the hedged
item is derecognized, the unamortized basis adjustment is recognized
immediately in income.
Upon the adoption of the new standards we re-established various fair
value hedging relationships pursuant to which certain deferred hedge
balances have been included as a basis adjustment to the hedged item. The
accumulated ineffectiveness related to these hedges has been recognized
in retained earnings together with deferred hedge balances related to
hedging relationships that have not been continued or would not qualify
for hedge effectiveness under the new rules.
Cash flow hedges
----------------
We designate cash flows hedges as part of risk management strategies that
use derivatives and other financial instruments to mitigate our risk from
variable cash flows by converting certain variable rate financial
instruments to fixed rate financial instruments and by hedging forecasted
foreign currency denominated cash flows.
The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative
instrument is offset through OCI until the variability in cash flows
being hedged is recognized in earnings in future accounting periods, at
which time the amount that was in the AOCI is reclassified into income.
The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the hedging
derivative is recognized either in "FXOTT" or "Net interest income"
immediately as it arises. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold,
terminated or exercised, or where the hedge no longer meets the criteria
for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is terminated and any
remaining amount in AOCI remains therein until it is recognized in income
when the variability in cash flows hedged or the hedged forecast
transaction is ultimately recognized in income. When the forecasted
transaction is no longer expected to occur, the related cumulative gain
or loss that was reported in the AOCI is immediately recognized in
income.
Upon the adoption of the new standards we re-established various cash
flow hedging relationships pursuant to which certain deferred hedge
balances have been included as an adjustment to the AOCI. The accumulated
ineffectiveness related to these hedges has been recognized in retained
earnings together with deferred hedge balances related to hedging
relationships that have not been continued or would not qualify for hedge
effectiveness under the new rules.
Hedges of net investments in self-sustaining foreign operations
---------------------------------------------------------------
We designate NIFO hedges to protect our investment in self sustaining
operations against adverse movement in foreign exchange rates.
These hedges are accounted for in a similar manner to cash flow hedges as
the effective portion of the changes in fair value of the hedging
derivative instruments is included in OCI until reduction in the net
investment at which time any gains or losses in the AOCI are recognized
in "FXOTT." The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the
hedging derivative is recognized in "FXOTT."
Transitional adjustment
As required, these standards have been applied as an adjustment to
opening retained earnings and AOCI as at November 1, 2006. Prior period
balances have not been restated. The impact of adopting these standards

2. Acquisition
Step 1 Acquisition
On December 22, 2006, we obtained control of FirstCaribbean International
Bank (FirstCaribbean) by acquiring 90% of Barclay's Bank PLC's (Barclays)
interest in FirstCaribbean, which represents a further 39.3% ownership
interest. As a result of this transaction ("the Step 1 Acquisition"), as
at January 31, 2007, we owned approximately 83.0% of the common shares of
FirstCaribbean with the remaining common shares held by both Barclays and
other minority shareholders. The common shares were acquired at US$1.62
each plus accrued dividends for total cash consideration of
US$989 million ($1,153 million) paid to Barclays. In addition, we
incurred transaction costs, net of tax, of US$7 million ($8 million).
Step 2 Acquisition
On February 2, 2007, pursuant to a tender offer at the same price for the
remaining common shares held by Barclays and the other minority
shareholders, we acquired an additional 8.5% interest in FirstCaribbean
("the Step 2 Acquisition) in exchange for additional cash consideration
of US$212 million ($250 million), bringing our total ownership to 91.5%.
In addition, we incurred additional transaction costs, net of tax, of
US$2 million ($2 million).
The Step 1 Acquisition and the Step 2 Acquisition transactions have been
accounted for using the purchase method. The results of FirstCaribbean's
operations have been included within CIBC Retail Markets strategic
business line in the interim consolidated financial statements since
December 22, 2006. Prior to that date, we accounted for our 43.7%
interest in FirstCaribbean using the equity method of accounting.
The allocation of the purchase equation was finalized in the current
quarter. Details of the aggregate consideration given and the fair value
of net assets acquired in respect of the Step 1 Acquisition and the
Step 2 Acquisition, as reported in the first and second quarters of 2007,
respectively, and the closing adjustments recorded in the current quarter

Subsequent to the Step 2 Acquisition transaction and the closing
adjustments, the total acquired intangible assets include a core deposit
intangible of $282 million and the FirstCaribbean brand name of
$24 million. The core deposit intangible is amortized at 12% per annum
using the declining balance method, while the brand has an indefinite
life and is not amortized.
Goodwill recognized as a result of the Step 1 Acquisition and the Step 2
Acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
As a result of subsequent transactions, including the sale of two million
shares of our holding to FirstCaribbean's compensation trusts, our
ownership interest as at July 31, 2007 declined to 91.4%.

On July 2, 2007, CIBC World Markets plc gave notice of its intention to
redeem all of its US$300 million Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due
2012 at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest on
August 14, 2007.
On July 27, 2007, we gave notice to holders of our 5.89% Debentures
(subordinated indebtedness) due February 26, 2013, of our offer under
which holders can choose to exchange their Debentures for an equal
principal amount of deposit notes of CIBC. Subsequent to the quarter-end,

9. Financial instruments designated at fair value (FVO)
FVO financial instruments include the following:
- Certain commercial real estate fixed rate loans, real estate related
securities and loans held to hedge structured total return swap
transactions, and certain loans hedged through credit derivatives.
These instruments are designated at fair value to significantly
reduce measurement inconsistencies that would arise if these were
accounted for at amortized cost, while the related derivatives are
treated as trading and marked-to-market.
- Secondary traded loans. These instruments are designated at fair
value to match both the accounting and the economics of the
portfolio. These financial instruments are managed as trading loans
on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented trading
strategy and reported to key management personnel on that basis
pursuant to which the positions are intended to be sold within six
months.
- Certain financial assets, such as mortgage-backed securities,
Government of Canada bonds and treasury bills, debt securities, and
certain fixed rate deposit liabilities. These instruments are
designated at fair value to significantly reduce measurement
inconsistencies that would arise if these were accounted for at
amortized cost, while the related hedging derivatives, such as
interest rate swaps, seller swaps and other asset swaps are treated
as trading and marked-to-market.
The following tables present the designated FVO assets and liabilities,
their economic hedges, and the related income from these financial
instruments. Net interest income arises from interest and dividends
related to the FVO assets and liabilities, and is reported net of
interest expense and income associated with funding these assets and
liabilities. Non-interest income includes unrealized gains and losses on
the FVO assets and liabilities and all income from the derivative
instruments and obligations related to securities sold short held to
economically hedge these financial instruments.

14. Segmented information
CIBC has two strategic business lines: CIBC Retail Markets and CIBC World
Markets. These business lines are supported by five functional groups -
Administration, Technology and Operations; Corporate Development;
Finance; Legal and Regulatory Compliance; and Risk Management. The
activities of these functional groups are included within Corporate and
Other, with their revenue, expenses and balance sheet resources generally
being allocated to the business lines. During the quarter, we moved the
Treasury function from Treasury and Risk Management (TRM) into Finance.
TRM was subsequently renamed Risk Management.
As discussed in Note 2, the results of FirstCaribbean are included in the
CIBC Retail Markets strategic business line since December 22, 2006.

15. Future accounting changes
Leveraged leases
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 13-2, "Accounting for a Change or Projected
Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by
a Leveraged Lease Transaction," which amends Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard 13, "Accounting for Leases," certain aspects of which
are incorporated in the CICA Emerging Issues Committee Abstract (EIC) 46,
"Leveraged Leases." The FSP is effective for CIBC beginning November 1,
2007.
For additional details, see page 130 of our 2006 Annual Accountability
Report.
Capital disclosures
In December 2006, the CICA issued a new handbook section 1535, "Capital
Disclosures," which requires an entity to disclose its objectives,
policies and processes for managing capital. This new standard is
effective for CIBC beginning November 1, 2007.
Financial instruments
In December 2006, the CICA issued two new handbook sections, 3862
"Financial Instruments - Disclosures" and 3863 "Financial Instruments -
Presentation." These new standards are effective for CIBC beginning
November 1, 2007.
These sections replace CICA handbook section 3861, "Financial Instruments
- Disclosure and Presentation." These new sections enhance disclosure
requirements on the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
instruments and how the entity manages those risks.%SEDAR: 00002543EF
