The bank posted quarterly earnings of $1.01 per share, 10 cents a share above estimates. Revenue also came in above Wall Street forecasts.

The company sees downside risks for the rest of the year, including economic uncertainty and continued "significant pressure" from low interest rates.
Bank set aside $143 million for credit losses "reflecting increased downgrades and the continuation of the challenging macroeconomic outlook."
