Across our U.S. markets, we're adding new customers and expanding capabilities, contributing to consistent pre-provision-pre-tax earnings in our U.S. Segment," said Darryl White, Chief Executive Officer, BMO Financial Group.

"With our strategic goals firmly in place, a strong balance sheet, robust capital and liquidity, we are well positioned to deliver sustainable returns to our shareholders. How we live our Purpose, to Boldly Grow the Good in business and life, continues to be recognized, including being named to Corporate Knights' ranking of Canada's Best 50 Corporate Citizens for the 23rd consecutive year," concluded Mr. White.
