CEO COMMENTARY:

“The flexibility of our diversified, national commercial banking strategy, with a broad range of value-added deposit channels and deep commercial customer relationships in a wide variety of sectors and geographies, all contributed to our firm’s resilience in the face of recent turbulence in the banking industry,” said Kenneth A. Vecchione, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe our focus on sound financial fundamentals and stable asset quality have helped us navigate through this challenging time. As we move forward with a renewed perspective, we are well-positioned to expand our client relationships and continue to achieve a strong return profile. Balance sheet repositioning, which included surgical sale of assets and loan reclassifications, resulted in after tax net non-operating charges of $109.7 million, but will have an immediate accretive impact to regulatory capital and allow us to prioritize core client relationships with holistic lending, deposit, and treasury management needs. The Company earned through these charges and achieved net income of $142.2 million and earnings per share of $1.28 for the quarter, increasing tangible book value per share¹ 3.3% to $41.56 from year-end with a CET1 ratio of 9.4%. While we experienced elevated net deposit outflows immediately following the closure of other banks, deposit balances quickly stabilized with end of quarter deposits of $47.6 billion. Since March 31, deposits have increased an additional $2.0 billion through April 14, with total insured deposits representing 73% of total deposits, which is well above industry norms compared to the 50 largest U.S. banks. Immediately available liquidity exceeds uninsured deposits, with a coverage ratio of 158% as of April 14. As we travel through the year and into 2024, capital expectations are targeted against a higher CET1 ratio at or above 11% with greater liquidity to be evidenced by a loan-to-deposit ratio in the mid-80% range. Balance sheet and earnings trajectory will be informed by these guideposts.”

Income Statement

Net interest income was $609.9 million in the first quarter 2023, a decrease of $29.8 million from $639.7 million in the fourth quarter 2022, and an increase of $160.4 million, or 35.7%, compared to the first quarter 2022. The decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter 2022 is due to an increase in average balances of short-term borrowings and interest bearing deposits, combined with higher average interest rates. These were partially offset by higher yields on HFI loans and an increase in the average cash balance. The net interest income increase from the first quarter 2022 was driven by HFI loan growth and higher yields on HFI loans, partially offset by an increase in other borrowings and higher interest rates on liabilities.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $19.4 million in the first quarter 2023, an increase of $16.3 million from $3.1 million in the fourth quarter 2022, and an increase of $10.4 million from $9.0 million in the first quarter 2022. The provision for credit losses during the first quarter 2023 is primarily due to a charge-off of a corporate debt security from a financial institution issuer and heightened economic uncertainty, offset by a decrease in HFI loans as the Company transferred $6.0 billion of held for investment loans to held for sale as part of its balance sheet repositioning plan to strengthen regulatory capital.

The Company’s net interest margin in the first quarter 2023 was 3.79%, a decrease from 3.98% in the fourth quarter 2022, and an increase from 3.32% in the first quarter 2022. Higher balances and rates on borrowings and interest bearing deposits drove a decrease in net interest margin, with higher yields on HFI loans partially offsetting the decrease. The increase in net interest margin from the first quarter 2022 was driven by HFI loan growth plus an increase in rates, partially offset by higher deposits and borrowings balances and rates.

Non-interest income was $(58.0) million, or $102.3 million after adjusting for losses on security sales and fair value adjustments, for the first quarter 2023, compared to $61.5 million for the fourth quarter 2022, and $106.3 million for the first quarter 2022. Fair value loss adjustments of $147.8 million are primarily related to the transfer of $6.0 billion of held for investment loans to held for sale. This decrease in non-interest income for the quarter was partially offset by a $20.5 million increase in net loan servicing revenue due to an increase in fees and the value of MSRs as well as a $6.0 million increase in net gain on loan origination and sale activities from an increase in spreads and gains from trading activity. The $164.3 million decrease from the first quarter 2022 was driven by fair value loss adjustments from HFI loans transferred to HFS and losses from sales of investment securities.

Net revenue was $551.9 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $701.2 million and $555.8 million for the fourth quarter 2022 and first quarter 2022, respectively. After adjusting for losses on security sales and fair value adjustments, net revenue¹ was $712.2 million for the first quarter 2023, an increase of $1.9 million, compared to $710.3 million for the fourth quarter 2022, and an increase of $156.7 million, or 28.2%, compared to $555.5 million for the first quarter 2022.

Non-interest expense was $347.9 million, or $360.6 million after adjusting for gain on extinguishment of debt from payoff of credit linked notes, for the first quarter 2023, compared to $333.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022, and $248.6 million for the first quarter 2022. The Company’s adjusted efficiency ratio¹ was 43.2% for the first quarter 2023, compared to 39.4% in the fourth quarter 2022, and 43.2% for the first quarter 2022. The increase in non-interest expense from the fourth quarter 2022 is due primarily to higher salaries and benefits costs. The increase in non-interest expense from the first quarter 2022 is attributable to increased deposit costs.

Income tax expense was $42.4 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $71.7 million for the fourth quarter 2022, and $58.1 million for the first quarter 2022.

Net income was $142.2 million for the first quarter 2023, a decrease of $150.8 million from $293.0 million for the fourth quarter 2022, and a decrease of $97.9 million from $240.1 million for the first quarter 2022. Earnings per share totaled $1.28 for the first quarter 2023, compared to $2.67 for the fourth quarter 2022, and $2.22 for the first quarter 2022. Earnings per share¹ adjusted for losses on security sales, fair value loss adjustments and gain on extinguishment of debt was $2.30 for the first quarter 2023, compared to $2.74 and $2.22 for the fourth quarter 2022 and first quarter 2022, respectively.

The Company views its pre-provision net revenue¹ ("PPNR") as a key metric for assessing the Company’s earnings power, which it defines as net revenue¹ less non-interest expense¹. For the first quarter 2023, the Company’s PPNR¹ was $351.6 million, down $25.3 million from $376.9 million in the fourth quarter 2022, and up $44.7 million from $306.9 million in the first quarter 2022.

The Company had 3,340 full-time equivalent employees and 57 offices at March 31, 2023, compared to 3,365 employees and 56 offices at December 31, 2022, and 3,170 employees and 60 offices at March 31, 2022.

Balance Sheet

HFI loans, net of deferred fees totaled $46.4 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $51.9 billion at December 31, 2022, and $41.1 billion at March 31, 2022. The decrease in HFI loans of $5.4 billion from the prior quarter was driven by a decrease of $5.2 billion in commercial and industrial loans as $5.4 billion of commercial and industrial loans were transferred to HFS as of quarter-end. In addition, residential real estate loans decreased $904 million ($490 million transferred to HFS), partially offset by increases of $394 million in construction and land development and $298 million in CRE non-owner occupied loans ($110 million transferred to HFS). From March 31, 2022, HFI loan growth of $5.3 billion, was primarily driven by residential real estate, CRE non-owner occupied, and construction and land development loans which increased $3.8 billion, $2.8 billion, and $1.1 billion, respectively, offset by commercial and industrial loans which decreased $2.4 billion.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on HFI loans consists of an allowance for funded HFI loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. At March 31, 2023, the allowance for loan losses to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.66%, compared to 0.60% at December 31, 2022, and 0.63% at March 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.75% at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.69% at December 31, 2022, and 0.73% at March 31, 2022. The Company is a party to credit linked note transactions, which effectively transfer a portion of the risk of losses on reference pools of loans to the purchasers of the notes. As of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, the Company is protected from first credit losses on reference pools of loans totaling $11.0 billion, $12.0 billion, and $5.4 billion, respectively, under these transactions. However, as these note transactions are considered to be free standing credit enhancements, the allowance for credit losses cannot be reduced by the expected credit losses that may be mitigated by these notes. Accordingly, the allowance for loan and credit losses ratios include an allowance of $20.8 million as of March 31, 2023, $21.9 million as of December 31, 2022, and $9.5 million as of March 31, 2022, related to these pools of loans. The allowance for credit losses to funded HFI loans ratio, adjusted to reduce the HFI loan balance by the amount of loans in covered reference pools, was 0.95% at March 31, 2023, 0.89% at December 31, 2022, and 0.84% at March 31, 2022.

Deposits totaled $47.6 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $6.1 billion from $53.6 billion at December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $4.6 billion from $52.2 billion at March 31, 2022. By deposit type, the decrease from the prior quarter is attributable to a decrease of $5.6 billion from savings and money market accounts and $3.2 billion from non-interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by increases of $1.5 billion from certificates of deposits and $1.2 billion from interest bearing demand deposits. From March 31, 2022, non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings and money market accounts decreased $7.1 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by increases in certificates of deposit and interest-bearing demand deposits of $4.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. Non-interest bearing deposits were $16.5 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $19.7 billion at December 31, 2022, and $23.5 billion at March 31, 2022.

The table below shows the Company's deposit types as a percentage of total deposits:

	Mar 31, 2023	Dec 31, 2022	Mar 31, 2022
Non-interest bearing	34.6 %	36.7 %	45.1 %
Savings and money market	29.1	36.2	35.6
Interest-bearing demand	22.5	17.7	15.8
Certificates of deposit	13.8	9.4	3.5

The Company’s ratio of HFI loans to deposits was 97.6% at March 31, 2023, compared to 96.7% at December 31, 2022, and 78.8% at March 31, 2022.

Borrowings were $15.9 billion at March 31, 2023, $6.3 billion at December 31, 2022, and $833 million at March 31, 2022. Borrowings increased from December 31, 2022 due primarily to an increase in short-term borrowings of $9.8 billion offset by payoffs of credit linked notes of $265 million. The increase in borrowings from March 31, 2022 is due to an increase in short-term borrowings of $14.7 billion and issuance of $579 million of credit linked notes, net of issuance costs, during 2022, less payoffs of credit linked notes in the first quarter of 2023.

Qualifying debt totaled $895 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $893 million at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

Stockholders’ equity was $5.5 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $5.4 billion at December 31, 2022 and $5.0 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase in stockholders’ equity quarter over quarter was due to net income and unrealized fair value gains of approximately $71 million on the Company's available for sale securities, which are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income, net of tax, partially offset by dividends to shareholders. A cash dividend of $0.36 per share was paid to common shareholders on March 3, 2023, totaling $39.4 million, and a cash dividend of $0.27 per depository share was paid to preferred shareholders on March 30, 2023, totaling $3.2 million. The increase in stockholders' equity from March 31, 2022 is primarily a function of net income and sales of common stock under the Company's ATM program, partially offset by dividends to shareholders and unrealized fair value losses on available for sale securities.

At March 31, 2023, tangible common equity, net of tax¹, was 6.5% of tangible assets¹ and total capital was 12.1% of risk-weighted assets. The Company’s tangible book value per share¹ was $41.56 at March 31, 2023, an increase of 3.3% from $40.25 at December 31, 2022, and up 11.9% from $37.13 at March 31, 2022. The increase in tangible book value per share from December 31, 2022 is attributable to net income and unrealized fair value gains on the Company's available for sale securities.

Total assets increased 4.9% to $71.0 billion at March 31, 2023, from $67.7 billion at December 31, 2022, and increased 17.3% from $60.6 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase in total assets from December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 was driven by an increase in cash and investments.

Asset Quality

Provision for credit losses totaled $19.4 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $3.1 million for the fourth quarter 2022, and $9.0 million for the first quarter 2022. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter 2023 were $6.0 million, or 0.05% of average loans (annualized), compared to $1.8 million, or 0.01%, in the fourth quarter 2022, and $0.2 million, or approximately 0.00%, in the first quarter 2022.

Nonaccrual loans increased $22 million to $107 million during the quarter and increased $16 million from March 31, 2022. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest were $1 million (excluding government guaranteed loans of $494 million) at March 31, 2023, compared to zero at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 (excluding government guaranteed loans of $582 million and zero at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively). Loans past due 30-89 days and still accruing interest totaled $58 million (excluding government guaranteed loans of $281 million) at March 31, 2023, a decrease from $70 million at December 31, 2022, and flat from $58 million at March 31, 2022 (excluding government guaranteed loans of $334 million and zero at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively).

Repossessed assets totaled $11 million at March 31, 2023, flat from December 31, 2022, and a $1 million decrease from $12 million at March 31, 2022. Classified assets totaled $459 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $66 million from $393 million at December 31, 2022, and an increase of $94 million from $365 million at March 31, 2022.

The ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses, a common regulatory measure of asset quality, was 7.8% at March 31, 2023, compared to 6.8% at December 31, 2022, and 7.4% at March 31, 2022.
