Reported ROE was 8.4%, compared with 11.6% in the prior year. The decrease in reported results was driven by a charge related to the reduction in goodwill associated with the announced sale of BMO’s Transportation and Vendor Finance businesses. Adjusted net income of $2,859 million increased 19% from $2,399 million in the prior year, and adjusted EPS of $3.96 increased 22% from $3.23. Adjusted ROE was 14.0%, compared with 12.0% in the prior year.
“BMO delivered another strong quarter, driven by disciplined execution against the commitments we made at our March Investor Day to elevate ROE and accelerate growth. Every business segment delivered record pre-provision pre-tax earnings, with sustained momentum in Capital Markets and Wealth Management, and continued commercial loan growth in both Canada and the U.S. as we deepen client relationships across our franchise. Credit performance improved, reflecting our proactive risk management and well-diversified portfolio,” said Darryl White, CEO of BMO Financial Group.
