Reported net income was $2,330 million and reported EPS was $3.14, an increase from $1,865 million and $2.48 in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $2,399 million and adjusted EPS was $3.23, an increase from $1,981 million and $2.64 in the prior year. "BMO delivered another quarter of strong earnings growth, with solid revenue performance and good expense management. Disciplined execution against each of our ROE rebuild strategies is driving tangible results through consistent positive operating leverage, improving credit performance and strengthening profitability, especially across our U.S. businesses," said Darryl White, Chief Executive Officer, BMO Financial Group. "We continue to invest to drive sustainable growth across our businesses, including our recently announced acquisition of Burgundy Asset Management Ltd., adding talent and advancing digital and AI capabilities to deliver a differentiated client experience. We're leveraging our strong balance sheet to support client growth, while returning excess capital to our shareholders," concluded Mr. White. Concurrent with the release of results, BMO announced a fourth quarter 2025 dividend of $1.63 per common share, unchanged from the prior quarter and an increase of $0.08 or 5% from the prior year. The quarterly dividend of $1.63 per common share is equivalent to an annual dividend of $6.52 per common share. On August 26, 2025, we announced our intention to terminate our existing normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase for cancellation up to 20 million common shares, and establish a new NCIB to purchase for cancellation up to 30 million common shares, subject to the approval of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI) and the Toronto Stock Exchange. As of August 22, 2025, the bank had repurchased 15.7 million shares. The existing NCIB will be terminated prior to commencing purchases under the new NCIB. Once approvals are obtained, the timing and amount of purchases under the new NCIB will be at management's discretion, based on factors such as market conditions and capital levels. On June 19, 2025, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Burgundy Asset Management Ltd., a leading independent wealth manager in Canada. This acquisition will expand BMO's wealth management and financial planning capabilities focused on high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of calendar 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Caution The foregoing section contains forward-looking statements. Please refer to the Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements section. (1) Results and measures in this document are presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. They are also presented on an adjusted basis that excludes the impact of certain specified items from reported results. Adjusted results and ratios are non-GAAP and are detailed in the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures section. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in Canadian dollars. All ratios and percentage changes in this document are based on unrounded numbers. (2) All EPS measures in this document refer to diluted EPS, unless specified otherwise. (3) The CET1 Ratio is disclosed in accordance with the Capital Adequacy Requirements (CAR) Guideline, as set out by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), as applicable. Third Quarter 2025 Performance ReviewAdjusted results and ratios in this section are on a non-GAAP basis. Refer to the Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures section for further information on adjusting items. The order in which the impact on net income is discussed in this section follows the order of revenue, expenses and provision for credit losses, regardless of their relative impact. Canadian P&CReported net income was $867 million, a decrease of $47 million or 5% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $870 million, a decrease of $50 million or 5%. Results reflected a 6% increase in revenue, primarily driven by higher net interest income due to balance growth and higher net interest margin, more than offset by higher expenses and a higher provision for credit losses. U.S. P&CReported net income was $709 million, an increase of $239 million or 51% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $769 million, an increase of $230 million or 42%. On a U.S. dollar basis, reported net income was $516 million, an increase of $172 million or 50% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $560 million, an increase of $165 million or 42%. Results reflected a 3% increase in revenue, driven by higher net interest income and non-interest revenue, lower expenses and a lower provision for credit losses. BMO Wealth ManagementReported net income was $436 million, an increase of $74 million or 20% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $441 million, an increase of $77 million or 21%. Wealth and Asset Management reported net income was $341 million, an increase of $41 million or 14%, reflecting higher revenue due to the impact of stronger global markets and net sales, as well as strong growth in loan and deposit balances, partially offset by higher expenses. Insurance net income was $95 million, an increase of $33 million or 53% from the prior year, due to a gain on the sale of a non-strategic portfolio of insurance contracts. BMO Capital MarketsReported net income was $438 million, an increase of $49 million or 13% from the prior year, and adjusted net income was $442 million, an increase of $48 million or 12%. Results reflected higher revenue in both Global Markets and Investment and Corporate Banking, higher expenses and a lower provision for credit losses. Corporate ServicesReported net loss was $120 million, compared with reported net loss of $270 million in the prior year, and adjusted net loss was $123 million, compared with adjusted net loss of $236 million. The lower net loss was driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses. Credit QualityTotal provision for credit losses was $797 million, compared with a provision of $906 million in the prior year. The provision for credit losses on impaired loans was $773 million, a decrease of $55 million, largely due to lower provisions in U.S. Commercial Banking and BMO Capital Markets, partially offset by higher provisions in Canadian Commercial Banking and Canadian unsecured consumer lending. There was a $24 million provision for credit losses on performing loans, compared with a $78 million provision in the prior year. The provision for credit losses on performing loans in the current quarter reflected an improvement in the macro-economic scenarios, as well as lower balances in certain portfolios, which were more than offset by the impact of uncertainty in credit conditions and portfolio credit migration. Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments section of BMO's 2024 Annual Report and Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for further information on the allowance for credit losses as at October 31, 2024. CapitalBMO's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) Ratio was 13.5% as at July 31, 2025, relatively unchanged from the second quarter of 2025, as internal capital generation was offset by the impact of the purchase of common shares for cancellation under BMO's normal course issuer bid and higher source currency risk-weighted assets. Non-GAAP and Other Financial MeasuresResults and measures in this document are presented on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are in Canadian dollars and have been derived from our audited annual consolidated financial statements and our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. References to GAAP mean IFRS. We use a number of financial measures to assess our performance, as well as the performance of our operating segments, including amounts, measures and ratios that are presented on a non‑GAAP basis, as described below. We believe that these non‑GAAP amounts, measures and ratios, read together with our GAAP results, provide readers with a better understanding of how management assesses results. Non-GAAP amounts, measures and ratios do not have standardized meanings under GAAP. They are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. Certain information contained in BMO's Third Quarter 2025 Management's Discussion and Analysis dated August 25, 2025 for the period ended July 31, 2025, is incorporated by reference into this document. For further details on the composition of our supplementary financial measures, refer to the Glossary of Financial Terms section of BMO's Third Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders, which is available online at www.bmo.com/investorrelations and at www.sedarplus.ca. Adjusted measures and ratiosManagement considers both reported and adjusted results and measures to be useful in assessing underlying ongoing business performance. Adjusted results and measures remove certain specified items from revenue, non‑interest expense, provision for credit losses and income taxes, as detailed in the following table. Adjusted results and measures presented in this document are non‑GAAP. Presenting results on both a reported basis and an adjusted basis permits readers to assess the impact of certain items on results for the periods presented, and to better assess results excluding those items that may not be reflective of ongoing business performance. As such, the presentation may facilitate readers' analysis of trends. Except as otherwise noted, management's discussion of changes in reported results in this document applies equally to changes in the corresponding adjusted results. Tangible common equity and return on tangible common equityTangible common equity is calculated as common shareholders' equity, less goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, net of related deferred tax liabilities. Return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) is calculated as net income available to common shareholders, adjusted for the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and any impairments, as a percentage of average tangible common equity. ROTCE is commonly used in the North American banking industry and is meaningful because it measures the performance of businesses consistently, whether they were acquired or developed organically.

The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to: general economic and market conditions in the countries in which we operate, including labour challenges and changes in foreign exchange and interest rates; political conditions, including changes relating to, or affecting, economic or trade matters, including tariffs, countermeasures and tariff mitigation policies; changes to our credit ratings; cyber and information security, including the threat of data breaches, hacking, identity theft and corporate espionage, as well as the possibility of denial of service resulting from efforts targeted at causing system failure and service disruption; technology resilience, innovation and competition; failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us; disruptions of global supply chains; environmental and social risk, including climate change; the Canadian housing market and consumer leverage; inflationary pressures; changes in laws, including tax legislation and interpretation, or in supervisory expectations or requirements, including capital, interest rate and liquidity requirements and guidance, including if the bank were designated a global systemically important bank, and the effect of such changes on funding costs and capital requirements; changes in monetary, fiscal or economic policy; weak, volatile or illiquid capital or credit markets; the level of competition in the geographic and business areas in which we operate; exposure to, and the resolution of, significant litigation or regulatory matters, our ability to successfully appeal adverse outcomes of such matters and the timing, determination and recovery of amounts related to such matters; the accuracy and completeness of the information we obtain with respect to our customers and counterparties; our ability to successfully execute our strategic plans, complete acquisitions or dispositions and integrate acquisitions, including obtaining regulatory approvals, and realize any anticipated benefits from such plans and transactions; critical accounting estimates and judgments, and the effects of changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations on these estimates; operational and infrastructure risks, including with respect to reliance on third parties; global capital markets activities; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, and their impact on local, national or international economies, as well as their heightening of certain risks that may affect our future results; the possible effects on our business of war or terrorist activities; natural disasters, such as earthquakes or flooding, and disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or water supply; and our ability to anticipate and effectively manage risks arising from all of the foregoing factors. We caution that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible factors. Other factors and risks could adversely affect our results. For more information, please refer to the discussion in the Risks That May Affect Future Results section, and the sections related to credit and counterparty, market, insurance, liquidity and funding, operational non-financial, legal and regulatory, strategic, environmental and social, and reputation risk, in the Enterprise-Wide Risk Management section of BMO's 2024 Annual Report, and the Risk Management section in our Third Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders, all of which outline certain key factors and risks that may affect our future results. Investors and others should carefully consider these factors and risks, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by the organization or on its behalf, except as required by law. The forward-looking information contained in this document is presented for the purpose of assisting shareholders and analysts in understanding our financial position as at and for the periods ended on the dates presented, as well as our strategic priorities and objectives, and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Material economic assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this document include those set out in the Economic Developments and Outlook section of BMO's 2024 Annual Report, as updated in the Economic Developments and Outlook section in our Third Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders, as well as in the Allowance for Credit Losses section of BMO's 2024 Annual Report, as updated in the Allowance for Credit Losses section in our Third Quarter 2025 Report to Shareholders. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies, as well as overall market conditions and their combined effect on our business, are material factors we consider when determining our strategic priorities, objectives and expectations for our business. In determining our expectations for economic growth, we primarily consider historical economic data, past relationships between economic and financial variables, changes in government policies, and the risks to the domestic and global economy.
