  • Q3 2024 net interest margin, tax equivalent (“NIM”) was 3.06%, compared to Q2 2024 NIM of 3.29% primarily due to lower discount accretion and prepayment income in Q3 2024 as well as lower average consumer installment loan balances and securities portfolio repositioning.

CEO Commentary

“Customers Bancorp continued to deliver on its strategic priorities to grow our franchise value through lower-cost and granular deposit inflows and diversified loan growth while we manage our operational risks,” said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO Jay Sidhu. “We have strong momentum as we pursue phase two of our deposit transformation strategy – remixing existing higher-cost business unit deposits*1 and brokered deposits into core lower-cost and granular deposits. We started the year with robust pipeline within our existing businesses which has been materially enhanced by the new commercial banking teams that joined Customers in April. In the quarter, we utilized deposit growth from commercial customers of $1.1 billion to paydown $0.7 billion of higher-cost commercial and consumer client deposits. In the third quarter, these inflows were, once again, broad-based with more than 25 different channels increasing balances and 70% of channels contributing $25 million or more. Our new deposit focused commercial banking teams have opened over 3,000 new deposit accounts since joining and gathered $536 million in deposits at an interest rate of approximately 2.9% with approximately 30% being non-interest bearing. Our deposit pipelines continue to grow with an extraordinary conversion ratio. We repurchased 373,974 shares of common stock under the previously authorized share repurchase program at an average price below Tangible Book Value per share*. Even with the share repurchase and balance sheet growth, our TCE / TA ratio* remained flat. Enhanced by the addition of our new banking teams, we believe we are extremely well-positioned to continue to strengthen our deposit franchise, improve our profitability, and maintain our already strong capital ratios,” stated Jay Sidhu.

“Our Q3 2024 GAAP earnings were $42.9 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, and core earnings* were $43.8 million, or $1.34 per diluted share. At September 30, 2024, our deposit base was well diversified, with approximately 75%2 of total deposits insured. We maintain a strong liquidity position, with $8.3 billion of liquidity immediately available, which covers approximately 183% of uninsured deposits2 and our loan to deposit ratio was 78%. We continue to focus loan production where we have a holistic and primary relationship. Total loans and leases held for investment grew by $520.8 million which represent a 16% annualized growth rate, driven by strong commercial loan growth of $539.5 million. Our loan pipeline continued to build during the third quarter, and we remain confident in achieving the 10% – 15% loan growth outlook previously provided. We continue to hold strong levels of liquidity and capital to support the needs of our customers. Asset quality remains strong, and a clear differentiator for us, with our NPA ratio at just 0.22% of total assets and reserve levels are robust at 281% of total non-performing loans at the end of Q3 2024. Total net charge-offs declined by $1.7 million and the combined level of special mention and substandard commercial loans declined by $44.0 million during the quarter. Our exposure to the higher risk commercial real estate office sector is minimal, representing approximately 1% of the loan portfolio. We will remain disciplined, but opportunistic, with our balance sheet capacity to manage risk and maintain robust capital levels. Tangible Book Value per share* grew to $52.96. We are excited and optimistic about the opportunities ahead which have been enhanced by the addition of the new banking teams,” Jay Sidhu continued.

(1) Risk ratings are assigned to loans and leases held for investment, and excludes loans held for sale, loans receivable, mortgage finance, at fair value and eligible PPP loans that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.

Over the last decade, the Bank has developed a suite of commercial loan products with one particularly important common denominator: relatively low credit risk assumption. The Bank’s commercial and industrial (“C&I”), mortgage finance, corporate and specialized lending lines of business, and multifamily loans for example, are characterized by conservative underwriting standards and historically low loss rates. Because of this emphasis, the Bank’s credit quality to date has been incredibly healthy despite an adverse economic environment. Maintaining strong asset quality also requires a highly active portfolio monitoring process. In addition to frequent client outreach and monitoring at the individual loan level, management employs a bottom-up data driven approach to analyze the commercial portfolio.

Total consumer installment loans held for investment at September 30, 2024 were less than 4% of total assets and approximately 5% of total loans and leases held for investment, and were supported by an allowance for credit losses of $50.1 million. At September 30, 2024, the consumer installment portfolio had the following characteristics: average original FICO score of 746, average debt-to-income of 20% and average borrower income of $101 thousand.

Non-performing loans at September 30, 2024 decreased to 0.34% of total loans and leases, compared to 0.35% at June 30, 2024 and increased, compared to 0.22% at September 30, 2023.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio, including debt securities classified as available for sale (“AFS”) and held to maturity (“HTM”) provides periodic cash flows through regular maturities and amortization, can be used as collateral to secure additional funding, and is an important component of the Bank’s liquidity position.

Customers’ securities portfolio is highly liquid, short in duration, and high in yield. At September 30, 2024, the AFS debt securities portfolio had a spot yield of 5.23%, an effective duration of approximately 2.0 years, and approximately 30% are variable rate. Additionally, 63% of the AFS securities portfolio was AAA rated at September 30, 2024.

At September 30, 2024, the HTM debt securities portfolio represented only 5.0% of total assets at September 30, 2024, had a spot yield of 4.31% and an effective duration of approximately 3.5 years. Additionally, at September 30, 2024, approximately 43% of the HTM securities were AAA rated and 51% were credit enhanced asset backed securities with no current expectation of credit losses.

As a part of the sales of consumer installment loans that were classified as held for sale, Customers provided financing to the purchaser for a portion of the sale price in the form of $160.0 million of asset-backed securities, collateralized by the sold loans, which mostly accounted for the increase in HTM debt securities at September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior quarter.

Customers is also highly focused on total deposits with contractual term to manage its liquidity profile and the funding of loans and securities.

“Our deposit costs increased in the quarter attributable to strong deposit growth in the interest bearing category. We’re extremely excited about the success we’re having in bringing new clients to the bank and the long-term franchise value it will drive outweighing any short-term impacts. With the remix efforts underway and in a declining rate environment we expect to have flexibility lowering interest bearing deposit costs going forward including as these newer relationships season,” stated Jay Sidhu.

Total deposits decreased $126.0 million, or 0.7%, to $18.1 billion at September 30, 2024 as compared to a year ago.

These decreases were offset by increases in money market deposits of $1.5 billion, or 58.5%, to $4.0 billion and savings deposits of $281.6 million, or 25.2%, to $1.4 billion. The total average cost of deposits increased by 22 basis points to 3.46% in Q3 2024 from 3.24% in the prior year primarily due to higher market interest rates.

Total borrowings increased $74.0 million, or 5.6%, to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2024 as compared to the prior quarter. This increase primarily resulted from an increase of $80.0 million in FHLB advances, partially offset by repayment of $25.0 million in senior notes upon maturity. As of September 30, 2024, Customers’ immediately available borrowing capacity with the FRB and FHLB was approximately $7.7 billion, of which $1.1 billion of available capacity was utilized in borrowings and $1.5 billion was utilized to collateralize deposits.

Total borrowings decreased $437.1 million, or 23.8%, to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2024 as compared to a year ago. This decrease primarily resulted from net repayments of $435.0 million in FHLB advances and $25.0 million in senior notes upon maturity.

Customers Bancorp’s common equity increased $54.3 million to $1.7 billion, and tangible common equity* increased $54.3 million to $1.7 billion, at September 30, 2024 compared to the prior quarter, respectively, primarily from earnings of $42.9 million and decreased unrealized losses on investment securities of $25.3 million (net of taxes) deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). These increases were offset in part by $18.2 million of common share repurchases in Q3 2024. Similarly, book value per common share increased to $53.07 from $50.81, and tangible book value per common share* increased to $52.96 from $50.70, at September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Customers Bancorp’s common equity increased $239.6 million to $1.7 billion, and tangible common equity* increased $239.6 million to $1.7 billion, at September 30, 2024 compared to a year ago, respectively, primarily from earnings of $201.4 million and decreased unrealized losses on investment securities in AOCI of $43.7 million (net of taxes), offset in part by $18.2 million of common share repurchases. Similarly, book value per common share increased to $53.07 from $45.47, and tangible book value per common share* increased to $52.96 from $45.36, at September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

At the Customers Bancorp level, the CET 1 ratio (estimate), total risk based capital ratio (estimate), common equity to total assets ratio and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* (“TCE / TA ratio”) were 12.5%, 15.4%, 7.8%, and 7.7%, respectively, at September 30, 2024.

At the Customers Bank level, capital levels remained strong and well above regulatory minimums. At September 30, 2024, Tier 1 capital (estimate) and total risk based capital (estimate) were 13.6% and 15.1%, respectively.

Key Profitability Trends

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $158.5 million in Q3 2024, a decrease of $9.1 million from Q2 2024. This decrease was due to lower interest income of $1.9 million primarily due to lower interest income from loans in specialized lending, lower consumer installment loans and higher interest expense of $7.2 million due to higher costs of deposits and other borrowings.

“Net interest income and net interest margin declined in the quarter impacted by higher discount accretion and prepayment income that were benefits in Q2 2024 and did not repeat at the same levels in Q3 2024, as well as initiatives that were proactive risk management strategies including the $200.8 million consumer installment loan sale in Q3 2024 resulting in lower average balances and the well-timed securities portfolio repositioning completed in Q2 2024. These factors accounted for over 80% of the decline in reported net interest margin. Robust loan growth and accretive deposit remix remain as positive drivers that we expect to help increase net interest income and net interest margin in 2025,” stated Customers Bancorp President Sam Sidhu. “These positive drivers are bolstered by the recent team additions. Our new commercial deposit-focused banking teams have substantial momentum and it is clear we have the bankers, products and balance sheet strength to deliver for our new and existing clients. We continue to believe the overwhelming majority of client prospects will become Customers Bank clients in the near future,” stated Sam Sidhu.

Net interest income totaled $158.5 million in Q3 2024, a decrease of $41.2 million from Q3 2023. This decrease was due to lower interest income in specialized lending primarily due to approximately $27.0 million of interest income attributable to outsized discount accretion recognized on the acquired loan portfolio in Q3 2023.

Reported non-interest income totaled $8.6 million for Q3 2024, a decrease of $22.5 million compared to Q2 2024. The decrease was primarily due to $11.0 million of unrealized gain on equity method investments purchased at a discount in Q2 2024 and $14.3 million of loss on leases of commercial clean vehicles that were accounted for as sales-type leases and included within net gain (loss) on sale of loans and leases. These commercial clean vehicle leases generated the same amount of investment tax credits that were included as a benefit to income tax expense in Q3 2024. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2.8 million in loan fees primarily resulting from increased unused line of credit fees.

Non-interest income totaled $8.6 million for Q3 2024, a decrease of $9.2 million compared to Q3 2023. As stated above, the decrease was primarily due to $14.3 million of loss on leases of commercial clean vehicles that were accounted for as sales-type leases and included within net gain (loss) on sale of loans and leases. These commercial clean vehicle leases generated the same amount of investment tax credits that were included as a corresponding benefit to income tax expense in Q3 2024. This decrease was partially offset by increases in commercial lease income of $1.2 million and loan fees of $2.0 million primarily resulting from increased unused line of credit fees.

Non-interest expenses totaled $104.0 million in Q3 2024, an increase of $0.6 million compared to Q2 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $2.8 million in salaries and employee benefits driven by higher headcount including the full quarter impact of Q2 2024 hires, annual merit increases, incentives partially offset by lower severance and $2.9 million in professional fees, partially offset by lower non-income taxes, software expenditures and processing fees.

“In the quarter we incurred professional services expense of approximately $3.0 million as we made investments to enhance our risk management infrastructure. We expect to spend an additional $3.0-$5.0 million in each of the next two quarters as we seek to build a best-in-class risk management function which we believe can be a competitive advantage for the bank in the future,” stated Sam Sidhu.

Non-interest expenses totaled $104.0 million in Q3 2024, an increase of $14.6 million compared to Q3 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $13.9 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to higher headcount including the addition of new banking teams in Q2 2024, annual merit increases, incentives and severance, fees paid to a fintech company related to consumer installment loans originated and held for sale as a part of the Bank’s held for sale strategy, and provision for operating losses. These increases were partially offset by $4.1 million of expenses from a settlement with a third party PPP service provider in Q3 2023 and a decrease in deposit servicing fees.

Taxes

Income tax expense decreased by $19.8 million to a benefit of $0.7 million in Q3 2024 from a provision of $19.0 million in Q2 2024 primarily due to lower pre-tax income and higher estimated income tax credits for 2024, including $14.3 million of investment tax credits generated from commercial clean vehicles in Q3 2024. These investment tax credits from commercial clean vehicle leases were the same amount as the loss on leases of commercial clean vehicles included within net gain (loss) on sale of loans and leases.

Income tax expense decreased by $24.2 million to a benefit of $0.7 million in Q3 2024 from a provision of $23.5 million in Q3 2023 primarily due to lower pre-tax income and an increase in estimated income tax credits for 2024, including $14.3 million of investment tax credits generated from commercial clean vehicles in Q3 2024. These investment tax credits from commercial clean vehicle leases were the same amount as the loss on leases of commercial clean vehicles included within net gain (loss) on sale of loans and leases. The effective tax rate for Q3 2024 was (1.6)%.

Outlook

“Looking forward, our strategy remains unchanged. We are focused on strengthening our deposit franchise, improving our profitability and maintaining our strong capital ratios. Our deposit pipelines are expected to continue to improve the quality and mix of deposits, reducing higher cost business unit deposits*1 with lower cost deposits where we have a holistic and primary relationship. The addition of the new banking teams is accelerating and enhancing these efforts which were already well underway. We see attractive opportunities to execute franchise-enhancing loan growth and our pipeline continues to be strong. We remain confident in our ability to deliver 10% - 15% loan growth for the full year. While the interest earning asset repositioning and the hedging we executed impacts our short term margin and will be a headwind in 2024, they will positively impact profitability and earnings in 2025. We expect net interest margin in Q4 2024 to be roughly flattish with Q3 2024. The management of non-interest expenses remains a priority for us. We expect the investments made in recruiting the new commercial banking teams will produce significant benefits by increasing our net interest income and net interest margin as well as improving the overall quality of our deposit franchise. We believe the investments we are making to enhance our risk management infrastructure will pay dividends over the long-term. We previously noted an $8.0-$10.0 million quarterly investment in the new commercial banking teams in 2024 and now about $3.0-$5.0 million of quarterly professional service expense in enhancing our risk management infrastructure for a few quarters. Looking forward we expect the new teams to breakeven in Q1 2025 and payoff throughout 2025 as well as a sunsetting of the additional professional services costs. We would also note that we had an $11.0 million unrealized gain on equity method investments purchased at a discount in Q2 2024 which helped offset some of these investment related expenses. While our efficiency ratio will be elevated in the near term as we make these investments in our future, we remain fundamentally focused on positive operating leverage and working to enable the organization to operate at a mid-40’s efficiency ratio over the medium-term. We are adjusting our guidance on effective tax rate to 18% - 20% primarily as a result of higher estimated investment tax credits in 2024. We remain committed to maintaining CET 1 ratio and TCE / TA ratio* targets of 11.5% and 7.5%, respectively in 2024. We are highly focused on preserving superior credit quality, managing interest rate risk, maintaining robust liquidity, operating with higher capital ratios and generating positive operating leverage,” concluded Sam Sidhu.

(1) Metric is a spot balance for the last day of each quarter presented.

(2) Customers’ reasons for the use of these non-GAAP measures and a detailed reconciliation between the non-GAAP measures and the comparable GAAP amounts are included at the end of this document.

(3) Regulatory capital ratios are estimated for Q3 2024 and actual for the remaining periods. In accordance with regulatory capital rules, Customers elected to apply the CECL capital transition provisions which delayed the effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years until January 1, 2022, followed by a three-year transition period. The cumulative CECL capital transition impact as of December 31, 2021 which amounted to $61.6 million will be phased in at 25% per year beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, our regulatory capital ratios reflected 25%, or $15.4 million, benefit associated with the CECL transition provisions.

(1) For presentation in this table, average balances and the corresponding average yields for investment securities are based upon historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

(2) Includes owner occupied commercial real estate loans.

(3) Includes PPP loans.

(4) Includes non-accrual loans, the effect of which is to reduce the yield earned on loans and leases, and deferred loan fees.

(5) Total costs of deposits (including interest bearing and non-interest bearing) were 3.46%, 3.40% and 3.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

(6) Tax-equivalent basis, using an estimated marginal tax rate of 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, presented to approximate interest income as a taxable asset.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - UNAUDITED

 

We believe that the non-GAAP measurements disclosed within this document are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate our core results of operations and financial condition relative to other financial institutions. These non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from corresponding GAAP measures the impact of certain elements that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing financial results, which we believe enhance an overall understanding of our performance and increases comparability of our period to period results. Investors should consider our performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance or financial condition. The non-GAAP measures presented are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

 

The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures disclosed within this document.
