Customers Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:CUBI):
Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights
Q4 2023 net income available to common shareholders was $58.2 million, or $1.79 per diluted share; ROAA was 1.16% and ROCE was 15.93%. Q4 2023 core earnings* were $61.6 million, or $1.90 per diluted share; Core ROAA* was 1.22% and Core ROCE* was 16.87%. CET 1 capital ratio of 12.2%1 at December 31, 2023, compared to 11.3% at September 30, 2023, surpassing 11.0% - 11.5% target. TCE / TA ratio* of 7.0% at December 31, 2023, compared to 6.5% at September 30, 2023, achieving stated target. Q4 2023 net interest margin, tax equivalent (“NIM”) was 3.31%, compared to Q3 2023 NIM of 3.70%. Q3 2023 NIM included the benefit of outsized discount accretion of roughly 50 basis points. Normalizing for this outsized accretion, Q4 2023 NIM expanded by 11 basis points. Total deposits decreased by $275.1 million in Q4 2023 from Q3 2023 with a significant positive mix shift. Q4 2023 core deposit growth of $1.1 billion funded in part the repayment of maturing wholesale CDs of $0.7 billion and the planned outflow of student-related deposit accounts serviced by BMTX of $0.6 billion. Total estimated insured deposits were 77%2 of total deposits at December 31, 2023, with immediately available liquidity covering uninsured deposits by approximately 202%. Non-performing assets were $27.2 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at December 31, 2023 compared to 0.14% at September 30, 2023. Allowance for credit losses on loans and leases equaled 499% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2023, compared to 466% at September 30, 2023. Q4 2023 provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $13.4 million was lower than Q3 2023 largely driven by lower balances in loans held for investment. Q4 2023 book value per share and tangible book value per share* both grew by approximately $2.26, or 5.0% over Q3 2023, driven by strong quarterly earnings combined with decreased AOCI losses of $13.2 million over the same time period. ______________________________________________*

CEO Commentary
“We are pleased to share our fourth quarter and full year 2023 results as we continued to execute on our strategic priorities and delivered again for shareholders,” said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO Jay Sidhu. “While the banking industry has stabilized following the challenges in early 2023, higher interest rates and less liquidity in the banking system remain headwinds for all banks. We again demonstrated the sustainability of our differentiated deposit franchise by growing core deposits by $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter which funded in part the repayment of maturing wholesale CDs of $743 million and the planned outflow of student-related deposit accounts serviced by BMTX totaling approximately $637 million. Additional liquidity inflows primarily from sales of investment securities were used to payoff $340 million in callable FHLB advances. The core deposit growth was again broad-based with more than 20 different channels increasing balances and roughly half contributing $25 million or more. Non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits remained relatively flat at 25%. Excluding the outsized accretion we experienced in the third quarter, our net interest margin continued to expand in the fourth quarter in contrast to the industry trends. Capital levels continued to increase substantially as evidenced by two consecutive quarters with a 50 basis point increase in our TCE / TA ratio* and a 90 basis point increase in our CET 1 ratio. In the last three quarters, we have increased our TCE / TA ratio* by 110 basis points to 7.0% and our CET 1 ratio by 260 basis points to 12.2%. We remain well-positioned to continue strengthening our deposit franchise, improve our profitability, and maintain our Capital ratios,” stated Jay Sidhu.
“Our Q4 2023 GAAP earnings were $58.2 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, and core earnings were $61.6 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, considerably above consensus estimates. At December 31, 2023, our deposit base was well diversified, with approximately 77%2 of total deposits insured. We maintain a strong liquidity position, with $8.5 billion of liquidity immediately available, which covers approximately 202% of uninsured deposits2 and our loan to deposit ratio was 74%. We continue to focus loan production where we have a holistic and primary relationship. We are seeing attractive new origination opportunities. We have ample liquidity and capital, which we plan to deploy in 2024, to support the needs of our customers. At December 31, 2023, we had $3.8 billion of cash on hand, which we believe is prudent balance sheet and liquidity management in the current environment. Asset quality remains exceptional with our NPA ratio down slightly at just 0.13% of total assets and reserve levels are robust at over 499% of total non-performing loans at the end of Q4 2023. Our exposure to higher risk commercial real estate such as the office and retail sectors is minimal, each representing only 1% of the loan portfolio. Continued execution on our strategic priorities has positioned us favorably for success in 2024 from a capital, credit, liquidity, interest rate risk and earnings perspective. We will remain disciplined, but opportunistic, with our balance sheet capacity to minimize risk and maintain robust capital levels. We are extremely proud of the progress we made in 2023 and are confident in our risk management capabilities and ability to provide excellent service to our clients in all operating environments. We are excited and optimistic about the opportunities in 2024 and beyond,” Jay Sidhu continued.

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 C, loans to mortgage companies, corporate and specialty lending lines of business, and multifamily loans for example, are characterized by conservative underwriting standards and 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 December 31, 2023 were less than 5% of total assets and approximately 7% of total loans and leases held for investment, and were supported by an allowance for credit losses of $56.4 million. At December 31, 2023, the consumer installment portfolio had the following characteristics: average original FICO score of 734, average debt-to-income of 19% and average borrower income of $107 thousand.
Non-performing loans at December 31, 2023 remained relatively stable at 0.21% of total loans and leases, compared to 0.22% at September 30, 2023 and 0.19% at December 31, 2022.
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.

Critically important to performance during the recent banking crisis are the characteristics of a bank’s securities portfolio. While there may be virtually no credit risk in some of these portfolios, holding longer term and lower yielding securities is creating challenges for many banks. Customers’ securities portfolio is highly liquid, short in duration, and high in yield. At December 31, 2023, the AFS debt securities portfolio had a spot yield of 5.12%, an effective duration of approximately 1.5 years, and approximately 41% are variable rate. Additionally, 59% of the AFS securities portfolio was AAA rated at December 31, 2023.
At December 31, 2023, the HTM debt securities portfolio represented only 5.2% of total assets at December 31, 2023, had a spot yield of 4.31% and an effective duration of approximately 3.0 years. Additionally, at December 31, 2023, approximately 39% of the HTM securities were AAA rated and 52% were credit enhanced asset backed securities with no current expectation of credit losses.

Total deposits decreased $275.1 million, or 1.5%, to $17.9 billion at December 31, 2023 as compared to the prior quarter. Money market deposits increased $726.8 million, or 29.1%, to $3.2 billion and savings deposits increased $284.6 million, or 25.4%, to $1.4 billion. These increases were offset by decreases in time deposits of $706.4 million, or 17.7%, to $3.3 billion, non-interest bearing demand deposits of $336.2 million, or 7.1%, to $4.4 billion and interest bearing demand deposits of $243.9 million, or 4.2%, to $5.6 billion. There was also an outflow of student-related deposit accounts serviced by BMTX of $0.6 billion, including the planned transfer of approximately $430.0 million to a new partner bank on December 1st and expected seasonal outflows of $0.2 billion. The total average cost of deposits increased by 15 basis points to 3.39% in Q4 2023 from 3.24% in the prior quarter largely driven by the increase in market interest rates and a shift in deposit mix during the fourth quarter including the outflow of student-related deposits serviced by BMTX. Total estimated uninsured deposits was $4.2 billion1, or 23% of total deposits (inclusive of accrued interest) at December 31, 2023. Customers is also highly focused on total deposits with contractual term to manage its liquidity profile and the funding of loans and securities.
Total deposits decreased $236.7 million, or 1.3%, to $17.9 billion at December 31, 2023 as compared to a year ago. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $2.5 billion, or 134.6%, to $4.4 billion, savings deposits increased $591.1 million, or 72.8%, to $1.4 billion and money market deposits increased $492.2 million, or 18.0%, to $3.2 billion. These increases were offset by decreases in interest bearing demand deposits of $2.9 billion, or 34.2%, to $5.6 billion and time deposits of $962.0 million, or 22.6% to $3.3 billion. The total average cost of deposits increased by 66 basis points to 3.39% in Q4 2023 from 2.73% in the prior year primarily due to higher market interest rates and a shift in deposit mix.

Total borrowings decreased $326.5 million, or 17.8%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2023 as compared to the prior quarter. This decrease primarily resulted from the repayment of $340.0 million in callable FHLB advances. As of December 31, 2023, Customers’ immediately available borrowing capacity with the FRB and FHLB was approximately $6.9 billion, of which $1.2 billion of available capacity was utilized in borrowings and $1.1 billion was utilized to collateralize deposits.
Total borrowings increased $403.7 million, or 36.5%, to $1.5 billion at December 31, 2023 as compared to a year ago. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in FHLB advances to ensure ample cash on hand given the heightened liquidity risk in the banking system, particularly among regional banks since early March 2023, net of repayments of $340.0 million and $510.0 million in callable FHLB advances in Q4 2023 and Q3 2023, respectively.

Key Profitability Trends
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $172.5 million in Q4 2023, a decrease of $27.3 million from Q3 2023, primarily due to lower interest income from the acquired Venture Banking portfolio that had outsized discount accretion in Q3 2023.
“We experienced continued momentum in net interest income in the fourth quarter, despite elective reductions in loan balances. Loan balance reductions were in part due to exiting certain credits with less attractive pricing and clients without holistic banking relationships. Excluding the outsized accretion recognized in the third quarter on the acquired loan portfolio from the FDIC, our fourth quarter net interest income was in-line relative to the third quarter,” stated Customers Bancorp President Sam Sidhu.
Net interest income totaled $172.5 million in Q4 2023, an increase of $37.4 million from Q4 2022. This increase was due to higher interest income of $76.3 million on variable rate lower credit risk specialty lending verticals, which included the acquired Venture Banking portfolio, investment securities and interest earning deposits, offset in part by higher interest expenses on deposits and other borrowings of $38.9 million primarily resulting from increased market interest rates and higher average balances of other borrowings. Interest-earning asset growth was primarily driven by an increase in interest earning deposits, offset in part by decreases in PPP loans, as the PPP program was substantially completed in Q1 2023, consumer installment loans and commercial loans to mortgage companies. Total consumer installment loans decreased in Q4 2023 as compared to Q4 2022, as installment loans held for investment decreased primarily for risk management purposes and the implementation of a held-for-sale strategy.

Non-interest income totaled $18.7 million for Q4 2023, an increase of $0.9 million compared to Q3 2023. The increase was primarily due to decreases in losses on sales of loans and investment securities, and increases in death benefits paid by insurance carriers under bank-owned life insurance policies and commercial lease income.
Non-interest income totaled $18.7 million for Q4 2023, an increase of $11.3 million compared to Q4 2022. The increase was primarily due to a decrease of $16.8 million in net loss realized from the sales of investment securities, and an increase in loan fees of $1.9 million resulting from increased servicing-related revenue and unused line of credit fees, partially offset by a $7.5 million gain from a court-approved settlement with a third party PPP service provider in Q4 2022.

Non-interest expenses totaled $93.8 million in Q4 2023, an increase of $4.3 million compared to Q3 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $5.4 million in FDIC assessments, non-income taxes and regulatory fees resulting from higher FDIC assessments including the special assessment of $3.7 million, $1.3 million in professional fees and $1.2 million in technology, communication and bank operations mostly due to higher processing and software fees offset by lower servicing fees paid to BMTX. These increases were partially offset by $4.1 million of expenses from a settlement with a third party PPP service provider in Q3 2023. Q4 2023 core non-interest expenses* were $89.4 million, flat over Q3 2023.
Non-interest expenses totaled $93.8 million in Q4 2023, an increase of $15.3 million compared to Q4 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $11.6 million in FDIC assessments, non-income taxes and regulatory fees resulting primarily from higher FDIC assessments including the special assessment of $3.7 million, $4.8 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to higher headcount, annual merit increases and severance, and $3.0 million in professional fees. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $1.7 million in deposit servicing-related expenses mostly due to lower servicing fees and the discontinuation of interchange maintenance fees paid to BMTX offset by higher fees for processing and software as a service, and $1.4 million in occupancy mostly due to lower lease and maintenance expenses.
Taxes
Income tax expense decreased by $1.7 million to $21.8 million in Q4 2023 from $23.5 million in Q3 2023 primarily due to lower pre-tax Income, partially offset by lower Income tax credits.
Income tax expense increased by $14.7 million to $21.8 million in Q4 2023 from $7.1 million in Q4 2022 primarily due to higher pre-tax Income and lower Income tax credits.
The effective tax rate for Q4 2023 was 26%, and 24% for the full year 2023. Customers expects the full-year 2024 effective tax rate to be approximately 22% to 24%.
Outlook
“Looking forward, our strategy and risk management principles will remain unchanged. We’re focused on managing risk, strengthening our deposit franchise, further improving our profitability and maintaining our higher capital ratios. Our deposits are expected to grow modestly with continued improvement in the quality of deposits, reducing higher cost wholesale deposits with lower cost core deposits. We see attractive opportunities to deploy securities cash flows and cash into franchise-enhancing loan growth in 2024. Core EPS (excluding PPP)* significantly exceeded our target of $6.00 per diluted share and core return on common equity* was well in excess of our target of 15%. We also achieved the tangible book value per share* target of $45.00, inclusive of the impact of AOCI, a full quarter early, ending at $47.61. The management of non-interest expenses remains a priority for us. However, this will not deter us from making investments in deposit teams and new technologies to support efficient and responsible growth in the future. Operating efficiency has and will continue to be a differentiator of our business model, and we will continue to only make investments that generate long-term positive operating leverage and enable the organization to operate at a mid-40’s efficiency ratio. We remain committed to maintaining a CET 1 ratio around 11.5% in 2024, and growing our TCE / TA ratio* to 7.5%. We are committed to preserving superior credit quality, managing interest rate risk, maintaining robust liquidity, operating with higher capital ratios and generating positive operating leverage,” concluded Sam Sidhu.

(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 Q4 2023 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 December 31, 2023, our regulatory capital ratios reflected 50%, or $30.8 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 non-accrual loans, the effect of which is to reduce the yield earned on loans and leases, and deferred loan fees.
(4) Total costs of deposits (including interest bearing and non-interest bearing) were 3.39%, 3.24% and 2.73% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
(5) Non-GAAP tax-equivalent basis, using an estimated marginal tax rate of 26% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, presented to approximate interest income as a taxable asset and excluding net interest income from PPP loans and related borrowings, along with the related PPP loan balances and PPP fees receivable from interest-earning assets. Management uses non-GAAP measures to present historical periods comparable to the current period presentation. In addition, management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers’ financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities.

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.
