The unit’s total revenue was C$937m for the quarter ended 30 April 2018, up 6% from C$886m in the corresponding quarter of 2017.

CIBC’s US Commercial Banking and Wealth Management division posted net income of C$138m for the second quarter of fiscal 2018, as against C$26m in the same period last year. The surge in income was driven by the acquisition of PrivateBancorp, which was rebranded as CIBC Bank USA.

The division’s total revenue was C$429m, versus C$102 in the previous year.

Overall, the banking group reported net income of C$1.32bn for the second quarter of fiscal 2018, a surge of 26% from C$1.05bn a year ago.
