BMO Financial Group Reports Strong Net Income for the First Quarter of 2013

Page 14 of 41

Commencing in the first quarter of 2013, provisions for credit losses in the operating groups are reported on an actual loss basis, rather than on an expected loss basis. Prior period results have been restated accordingly. Provisions by operating group are outlined in Tables 6 and 13.

The provision for credit losses in P&C Canada and Private Client Group declined quarter over quarter by $18 million and $9 million, respectively. P&C U.S. provisions decreased by $43 million from last quarter to $32 million in the current quarter. In BMO Capital Markets, the provision for credit losses improved quarter over quarter due to higher recoveries of previously written-off amounts. On an adjusted basis, Corporate Services recovery was $51 million compared with a $115 million recovery last quarter, due to the decline in recoveries related to the M&I purchased credit impaired loans.
