  • Q2 2023 core earnings* were $52.2 million, or $1.65 per diluted share; Core ROAA* was 1.03% and Core ROCE* was 15.67%.
  • CET 1 capital ratio of 10.3%1 at June 30, 2023, compared to 9.6% at March 31, 2023. Significant progress toward stated goal of 11.0% – 11.5% by year-end 2023.
  • Q2 2023 net interest margin, tax equivalent (NIM) was 3.15%, an increase of 19 basis points over Q1 2023 NIM of 2.96%. Q1 2023 NIM (excluding PPP)* was 2.80%
  • Significant positive deposit mix shift in Q2 2023 as total deposits grew by $226.8 million, with an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $1.0 billion, or 29%, over Q1 2023. The average cost of deposits decreased 21 basis points in Q2 2023 while the June 30, 2023 spot cost of deposits declined one basis point from March 31, 2023 despite an increase in market interest rates in Q2 2023.

  • Q2 2023 loans declined $1.2 billion or 7.6% over Q1 2023, with average loan yields up 13 basis points in Q2 2023, principally due to non-strategic loan sales.
  • Q2 2023 provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $22.4 million was largely driven by the recognition of weaker macroeconomic forecasts.
  • Non-performing assets were $28.4 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at June 30, 2023, down $3.9 million, or 12%, from March 31, 2023. Allowance for credit losses on loans and leases equaled 494% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2023, compared to 406% at March 31, 2023.

CEO Commentary

“We are very pleased with our second quarter results as we executed seamlessly on our strategic priorities and delivered one of our strongest quarters to date,” said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO Jay Sidhu. “While the industry continues to face significant headwinds from rising funding costs, negative deposit mix shifts and net interest margin compression, we successfully grew total deposits by $226.8 million in Q2 2023, even after the payoff of net brokered CDs of $660 million, with an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $1 billion, or 29%. We expanded our net interest margin significantly over Q1 2023 despite holding even higher cash balances for prudent risk management purposes. Notably, our average cost of deposits decreased 21 basis points during the quarter as we replaced higher cost wholesale deposits with lower cost core deposits and continued to strengthen our deposit franchise. Our average loan yields increased 13 basis points as a result of the increase in interest rates and the floating rate nature of our loan portfolio. Following through on the commitments we made last quarter, we successfully exited certain non-strategic loan portfolios by selling $670 million in short-term syndicated capital call lines of credit and $556.7 million in consumer installment loans. This provided balance sheet capacity for the previously announced $631 million Venture Banking portfolio acquired from the FDIC at a 15% discount and afforded us a significant opportunity to further grow and strengthen our deposit franchise, improve our profitability, and increase our capital ratios,” stated Jay Sidhu.

“Our Q2 2023 GAAP earnings were $44.0 million, or $1.39 per diluted share. Core earnings* were $52.2 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, well above consensus estimates. At June 30, 2023, our deposit base was well diversified, with approximately 77%2 of total deposits insured. We maintain a strong liquidity position, with $9.1 billion of liquidity immediately available, which covers approximately 222% of uninsured deposits and our loan to deposit ratio was about 77%. We continued to purposely moderate loan growth and took other strategic actions in the second quarter 2023 to further improve our capital ratios. At June 30, 2023, we had $3.2 billion of cash on hand, which we believe was prudent given persisting levels of uncertainty. Asset quality remains exceptional and credit reserves are extremely robust at 494% of total non-performing loans at the end of Q2 2023. The prudent risk management strategic actions that we have taken over the past several quarters have us well positioned from a capital, credit, liquidity, interest rate risk, and earnings perspective as we enter the second half of 2023. With persisting levels of uncertainty, we believe it is prudent to continue to moderate growth, or even shrink the balance sheet somewhat, and focus on further strengthening the balance sheet and improving capital ratios. We remain committed to improving our CET 1 ratio to 11.0% – 11.5% by year-end 2023 and are extremely proud of the progress that we made in just one quarter. We are confident in our ability to manage our credit, interest rate, and liquidity risks, and superbly service our clients in all operating environments. We are incredibly optimistic about our future,” Jay Sidhu continued.

Loans and Leases Held for Investment

Loans and leases held for investment were $13.8 billion at June 30, 2023, down $806.2 million, or 5.5%, from March 31, 2023, consistent with our stated goal of purposely moderating loan growth and exiting non-strategic relationships. Loans held for investment decreased in every category, except for relatively small increases in construction loans and specialty lending activities within commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans quarter-over-quarter.

On June 15, 2023, Customers acquired $631.0 million of a Venture Banking loan portfolio at a discount from the FDIC. Customers has also recruited team members that originated these loans to service the venture-backed growth industry from seed-stage through late-stage. The newly recruited team gives clients access to the capital to grow from innovation to maturity and leverage a customized, best-in-class tech platform to support their growth. The team has long-standing relationships with these clients offering them premier end-to-end financial services meeting their needs. The addition of these team members creates venture banking client coverage in Austin, the Bay Area, Boston, Southern California, Chicago, Denver, Raleigh/Durham, and Washington, D.C. The technology and life sciences portfolio has been combined with Customers’ existing technology and venture capital banking vertical. The portfolio of capital call loans to venture capital firms has been combined with Customers’ existing direct capital call lines vertical within fund finance. This acquisition was accomplished from exiting and selling all non strategic short-term syndicated capital call lines of credit and payoffs and sales of other loans, and contributed to the moderate growth in specialty lending verticals of $15.7 million, or 0.3% quarter-over-quarter. Other C&I loans decreased $116.0 million, or 9.9% quarter-over-quarter, to $1.1 billion. Loans to mortgage companies decreased $266.3 million, or 19.4% quarter-over-quarter due to lower mortgage activity. Consumer installment loans held for investment decreased $266.0 million, or 21.0% quarter-over-quarter, to $1.0 billion as we continue to execute on our held-for-sale strategy and de-risk the held-for-investment loan portfolio in 2023.

Loans and leases held for investment of $13.8 billion at June 30, 2023 was down $1.8 billion, or 11.7%, year-over-year, largely driven by reduced balances in PPP loans of $1.4 billion, consumer installment loans of $898.6 million, and loans to mortgage companies of $866.6 million, offset in part by net growth in the lower risk variable rate specialty lending verticals of $935.2 million.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale decreased $345.9 million quarter-over-quarter, and were only $78.1 million at June 30, 2023 as we continue to build out our held-for-sale strategy in 2023. On June 30, 2023, Customers sold consumer installment loans that were classified as held for sale with a carrying value of $556.7 million, inclusive of $154.0 million of other installment loans transferred from held for investment to held for sale during Q2 2023, accrued interest and unamortized deferred loan origination costs. As part of these sales, Customers recognized a net loss on sale of $1.0 million, which is presented within “Gain (loss) on sale of SBA and other loans” in the consolidated statement of income.

* Non-GAAP measure. Customers’ reasons for the use of the non-GAAP measure and a detailed reconciliation between the non-GAAP measure and the comparable GAAP amount are included at the end of this document.

The decrease in net charge-offs in Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023 was primarily due to a charge-off of a non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan in Q1 2023 and a decrease in consumer installment net charge-offs in Q2 2023 compared to Q1 2023. The net charge-offs of $15.6 million in Q2 2023 excludes $6.2 million of charge-offs for certain PCD loans acquired from FDIC applied against $8.7 million of allowance for credit losses on PCD loans recognized upon acquisition of the loan portfolio on June 15, 2023.

The increase in net charge-offs in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022, excluding the charge-offs for certain PCD loans acquired from FDIC, was primarily due to an increase in consumer installment net charge-offs in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022.

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases in Q2 2023 was $22.4 million, compared to $18.0 million in Q1 2023. The provision in Q2 2023 was primarily due to our recognition of weaker macroeconomic forecasts, partially offset by lower consumer installment loans, as compared to provision in Q1 2023. The provision for credit losses on available for sale investment securities in Q2 2023 was $1.3 million compared to provision of $1.6 million in Q1 2023.

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases in Q2 2023 was $22.4 million, compared to $24.2 million in Q2 2022.
