CIBC Wealth Management takes a hit in Q3 2020

The Canadian Commercial and Wealth Management arm of CIBC reported net income of $320m for Q3 2020, a 7% drop year-on-year. This amounts to $24m.

The drop was primarily attributed to a higher provision for credit losses.

Furthermore, deposit and loan volume growth in commercial banking was offset by lower margins and lower fee revenue in both commercial banking and wealth management.

In addition, the US Commercial Banking and Wealth Management side recorded net income of $62m, which is a startling 64% drop year-on-year.

Excluding items of note, adjusted net income was $77m, down $106m or 58% from the third quarter a year ago, due to a higher provision for credit losses.

Reported net income for CIBC as a whole was $1,172m in Q3 2020, a 16% drop year-on-year and a 199% plummet from the last quarter.
