Overall, the banking group reported net income of C$1.33bn for the first quarter of fiscal 2018, down 5% from C$1.41bn in the corresponding year ago quarter. The results were impacted by a $88m charge booked by the bank owing to the recent overhaul in the US tax rule.

CIBC president and CEO Victor Dodig said: “In the quarter, CIBC delivered strong results across all four strategic business units. We are creating value for shareholders by building a relationship-focused bank, diversifying our earnings growth in the U.S. region, improving operational efficiencies and maintaining disciplined capital deployment.”
