The results follow those of peers Bank of Montreal and Bank of Nova Scotia on Wednesday that missed expectations, weighed down by higher provisions, slower top-line growth and higher expenses.
CIBC, Canada’s fifth largest bank by market capitalization, said it set aside C$438 million ($328 million) for bad loan provisions in the second quarter, up C$135 million from a year ago.
Net income, excluding one-off items, came in at C$1.63 billion, or C$1.70 a share, for the three months ended April 30, compared with C$1.65 billion, or $1.77 a share, a year earlier.
