TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce beat analysts' estimates for quarterly profit on Thursday, as it released reserves set aside for loan losses and saw higher volumes and fees in its Canadian and U.S. banking and wealth management divisions.

Net income excluding one-off items rose to C$1.81 billion, or C$3.93, in the three months ended July 31, compared with C$1.24 billion, or C$2.71 per share, a year earlier. Analysts had expected income of C$3.41 a share, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
