Reports Q2 revenue C$8.68B vs. $7.97B last year. “This quarter, we delivered strong revenue and pre-provision, pre-tax earnings growth across each operating group and ongoing positive operating leverage. Impaired credit provisions moderated again this quarter as expected, while we bolstered performing allowances. We’re executing against our plan to rebuild return on equity, including actions to optimize our balance sheet and invest for growth,” said Darryl White, Chief Executive Officer, BMO Financial Group. “We’re supporting our clients through the current environment from a position of strength. Our robust capital position enables us to return capital to shareholders through buybacks and higher dividends, and provides resilience for a range of economic outcomes as we help our clients and the communities we serve make real financial progress,” concluded Mr. White.
