(1) Primarily consists of foreign exchange gains/losses and other miscellaneous non-interest revenues.

Non-interest income of $124 million was up 26% ($26 million) primarily due to higher wealth management fees contributed by the full year impact of the wealth acquisition combined with increased credit related fees and foreign exchange revenue recorded in ‘other’ non -interest income. The increase in non-interest income was partially offset by lower net gains on securities, which were elevated in the prior year as we re-balanced our cash and securities portfolio through the market disruption that followed the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Credit related fees benefited from strong loan growth and an increase in administration fees associated with our enhanced personal credit card offering in partnership with Brim Financial, under which we do not retain the underlying credit risk of the cards or carry outstanding balances on our balance sheet.
