CEO Commentary
West Reading, PA, January 25, 2023 - “We delivered another solid quarter and are extremely pleased with our 2022 results despite the challenging interest rate and economic environment,” said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO, Jay Sidhu. “Our Q4 2022 GAAP earnings were negatively impacted by after-tax securities net losses of $13.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, which will benefit net interest margin in the short-term and has an earn back of roughly one year as well as after-tax net losses on PPP loans of $6.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. However, we are very pleased to report that Q4 2022 earnings from the core bank* were $1.37 per diluted share, beating internal targets and estimates, and bringing full year 2022 core earnings (excluding PPP)* per share to $6.51. Our responsible organic growth strategy is laser focused on credit quality with 90% of our growth in low credit risk verticals. We have taken prudent risk management strategic actions over the past several quarters to ensure we are well positioned from a capital, credit, liquidity and earnings perspective especially as we head into a highly uncertain 2023. We are also pleased to report that we beat the upper end of our 2022 core earnings per share, excluding PPP* target of $4.75 - $5.00 by 13%, even before considering the Q3 2022 pre-tax provision release of $36.8 million. Core loan* growth in 2022 was led by increases in low-risk variable rate specialty lending verticals of $3.0 billion. Asset quality remains exceptional and credit reserves are extremely robust at 426% of total non-performing loans. Our loan and deposit pipelines remain strong and we are very focused on improving our margins, moderating our growth, controlling our expenses, actively buying back common shares to the extent we are trading below book value, and creating exceptional value for our shareholders. We remain very optimistic about our future,” Mr. Jay Sidhu continued.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
We funded, either directly or indirectly, about 358,000 loans totaling $10.3 billion. Through the program, we earned close to $350 million of deferred origination fees from the SBA, which was significantly accretive to our earnings and capital levels as these loans were forgiven by the government. In Q4 2022, we recognized only $4 million of these fees in earnings as forgiveness levels were slower than expected, bringing total fees recognized to date to $322 million, and $26 million remaining to be recognized in 2023. "As we've stated previously, it is difficult to predict the timing of PPP forgiveness. We expect most of the fees to be recognized over the next two quarters; however, because we fully paid off the FRB PPP liquidity facility in third quarter 2021, these loans are currently being funded with higher cost funding, reducing their short-term profitability. This was particularly evident in Q4 2022 as higher PPP-related expenses resulted in a total negative impact to Q4 2022 earnings of $0.18 per diluted share. This included negative net interest income of $2.8 million resulting from higher funding costs, $11.0 million of one-time charge-offs increasing provision expense, and a $7.5 million gain resulting from a legal settlement with one of our third party PPP service providers. These one-time charge-offs are before the impact of any contractual indemnities or recoveries we may receive in future periods," commented Customers Bancorp CFO, Carla Leibold.

Commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans and leases, including specialty lending, increased $3.2 billion, or 95.7% year-over-year, to $6.5 billion. Practically all of the increases in outstanding balances were in the low-risk variable rate secured categories of Capital Call Lines and Lender Finance (collectively referred to as Fund Finance). Multifamily loans increased $730.8 million, or 49.2%, to $2.2 billion, commercial real estate owner occupied loans increased $230.4 million, or 35.2%, to $885.3 million, commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans increased $169.5 million, or 15.1% to $1.3 billion and residential loans increased $147.8 million, or 42.1%, to $498.8 million year-over-year. These increases in loans and leases were partially offset by a decrease in total consumer installment loans of $43.1 million, or 2.5%, to $1.7 billion primarily due to the sale of $500.0 million of consumer installment loans in Q3 2022 offsetting new originations and originations and purchases of certain consumer installment loans with the intent to sell and a decrease in construction loans of $37.0 million, or 18.6%, to $162.0 million.

The increase in net charge-offs in Q4 2022 compared to Q3 2022 was primarily due to one-time charge-offs of $11.0 million for certain loans originated under the PPP program that were subsequently determined to be ineligible for SBA forgiveness and guarantee and were deemed uncollectible.

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases in Q4 2022 was $27.9 million, compared to a benefit to provision of $7.8 million in Q3 2022. The provision in Q4 2022 was primarily due to loan growth, one-time charge-offs of $11.0 million for certain loans originated under the PPP program that were subsequently determined to be ineligible for SBA forgiveness and guarantee and ultimately deemed uncollectible and our recognition of weaker macroeconomic forecasts, as compared to a benefit to provision in Q3 2022 primarily from the sale of $500.0 million of consumer installment loans in connection with the Company's balance sheet optimization initiatives. The sale transaction resulted in approximately $36.8 million of release in allowance for credit losses in Q3 2022, which was included in core earnings* and contributed approximately $0.86 per diluted share. The provision for credit losses on available for sale investment securities in Q4 2022 was $0.3 million compared to a benefit to provision of $0.2 million in Q3 2022.
The provision for credit losses on loans and leases in Q4 2022 was $27.9 million, compared to a provision of $13.9 million in Q4 2021.

Over the last decade, we have developed a suite of commercial loan products with one particularly important common denominator: relatively low credit risk assumption. The Bank’s C&I, 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, we employ a bottom-up data driven approach to analyze the commercial portfolio. Exposure to industry segments and CRE significantly impacted by COVID-19 initially is not substantial.
Total consumer installment loans were approximately 8.1% of total assets at December 31, 2022, 10.8% of total loans and leases and 11.5% of core loans*, and were supported by an allowance for credit losses of $68.7 million. At December 31, 2022, our consumer installment portfolio had the following characteristics: average original FICO score of 740, average debt-to-income of 19.0% and average borrower income of $107 thousand.
Non-performing loans at December 31, 2022 were essentially flat at 0.19% of total loans and leases, compared to 0.18% at September 30, 2022 and 0.34% at December 31, 2021.

Total deposits increased $1.4 billion, or 8.2%, to $18.2 billion at December 31, 2022 as compared to a year ago. Time deposits increased $3.7 billion, or 737.7%, to $4.2 billion. This increase was offset partially by decreases in money market deposits of $1.6 billion, or 37.1%, to $2.7 billion, total demand deposits of $587.1 million, or 5.4%, to $10.4 billion and savings deposits of $161.5 million, or 16.6%, to $811.8 million. The total cost of deposits increased by 237 basis points to 2.73% in Q4 2022 from 0.36% in the prior year primarily due to higher market interest rates and a shift in deposit mix.

Key Profitability Trends
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $135.1 million in Q4 2022, a decrease of $23.9 million from Q3 2022, primarily due to lower PPP net interest income of $12.4 million resulting from reduced recognition of deferred fees of $7.0 million driven by lower loan forgiveness in Q4 2022 and increased funding costs of $5.0 million, reflecting increases in funding rates. Net interest income earned by the core bank* decreased $11.5 million over Q3 2022, reflecting the $500.0 million consumer loan sale in Q3 2022, higher funding costs, and shift in funding mix. The increase in interest income on investment securities and core loans* of $12.4 million and $25.7 million, respectively, mostly due to higher interest rates on variable loans in specialty lending, were offset by higher expenses paid on deposits, fed funds, FHLB advances and other borrowings of $57.6 million from a shift in deposit mix and higher interest rates during Q4 2022. Excluding PPP loans, average interest-earning assets increased $0.5 billion. Interest-earning asset growth was primarily driven by increases in C&I loans and leases, mostly in specialty lending, investment securities and interest earning deposits, partially offset by decreases in commercial loans to mortgage companies and consumer installment loans. Compared to Q3 2022, total loan yields increased 56 basis points to 5.64% primarily due to higher interest rates on variable rate loans in specialty lending. Excluding PPP loans, the Q4 2022 total loan yield* was 71 basis points higher than Q3 2022 reflecting increased interest rates and the variable rate nature of the loan portfolio.
Net interest income totaled $135.1 million in Q4 2022, a decrease of $58.6 million from Q4 2021, primarily due to lower PPP interest income of $74.8 million resulting from reduced recognition of deferred fees of $68.0 million driven by lower loan forgiveness in Q4 2022. This decrease was offset in part by increased net interest income earned by the core bank of $22.9 million, up 20% over Q4 2021, including increased interest income on investment securities and core loans* of $27.8 million and $95.6 million, respectively, mostly due to higher average balances and interest rates on variable loans in specialty lending. In addition, higher expenses paid on deposits, fed funds, FHLB advances and other borrowings of $114.2 million resulted mainly from a shift in deposit mix and higher interest rates during Q4 2022. Excluding PPP loans, average interest-earning assets increased $4.5 billion. Interest-earning asset growth was primarily driven by increases in C&I loans and leases, mostly in specialty lending, investment securities, multifamily loans and residential mortgages, offset in part by decreases in commercial loans to mortgage companies and interest earning deposits. Compared to Q4 2021, total loan yields increased 16 basis points to 5.64% primarily due to higher interest rates on variable rate loans in specialty lending, partially offset by lower PPP yields driven by lower deferred fee recognition. Excluding PPP loans, the Q4 2022 total loan yield* was 145 basis points higher than Q4 2021 reflecting increased interest rates and the variable rate nature of the loan portfolio.

Non-interest income totaled $7.3 million for Q4 2022, an increase of $16.4 million compared to Q3 2022. The increase was primarily due to $23.5 million of loss realized from the sale of $500 million of consumer installment loans as part of our balance sheet optimization initiatives in Q3 2022, which included the write-off of deferred origination costs and other transaction-related expenses, a $7.5 million gain from a court-approved settlement with a third party PPP service provider in Q4 2022 and higher commercial lease income and loan fees from continued growth. These increases were partially offset by higher losses realized from the sale of investment securities of $14.8 million to rebalance the investment portfolio with higher interest-earning securities and lower bank-owned life insurance income primarily due to death benefits received in Q3 2022.
Non-interest income totaled $7.3 million for Q4 2022, a decrease of $9.6 million compared to Q4 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower gains realized from the sales of SBA and other loans, higher losses realized from the sale of investment securities of $16.9 million to rebalance the investment portfolio with higher interest-earning securities and lower mortgage warehouse transactional fees in Q4 2022 compared to Q4 2021 from lower housing activity due to rising interest rates, offset partially by $7.5 million of the gain from a court-approved settlement with a third party PPP service provider in Q4 2022 and higher commercial lease income and loan fees from continued growth.

The management of non-interest expenses remains a priority for us. However, this will not be at the expense of not making adequate investments with new technologies to support efficient and responsible growth.
Non-interest expenses totaled $78.4 million in Q4 2022, $2.2 million higher than Q3 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $1.1 million in occupancy mostly due to increased lease related expenses, $0.6 million in loan servicing for consumer installment loans, $0.6 million in professional fees primarily for legal fees associated with a settlement with a third party SBA service provider, $0.6 million in commercial lease depreciation from continued growth in our equipment finance business, $0.5 million in loan workout related legal fees mostly related to a commercial mortgage warehouse borrower that filed for bankruptcy and $1.8 million in other non-interest expenses primarily associated with our team members' return to office and increases in business development related expenses and charitable contributions. These increases were offset partially by decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $2.0 million primarily due to lower headcount and incentives, $1.4 million in one-time severance expenses recorded in Q3 2022 and $1.0 million in technology, processing and deposit servicing-related expenses mostly due to lower deposit servicing fees paid to BM Technologies offset by higher software licenses and fees paid for software as a service.
Non-interest expenses totaled $78.4 million in Q4 2022, a decrease of $3.1 million compared to Q4 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases of $4.1 million in technology, processing and deposit servicing-related expenses mostly due to lower deposit servicing and interchange maintenance fees paid to BM Technologies, $0.7 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to lower incentives and $0.7 million in occupancy primarily due to expenses associated with the relocation of the Bank headquarters recorded in Q4 2021. These decreases were offset in part by increases of $1.9 million in commercial lease depreciation from continued growth and $0.8 million in advertising and promotion due to higher spending on media for our deposit products.
Taxes
Income tax expense from continuing operations decreased by $10.8 million to $7.1 million in Q4 2022 from $17.9 million in Q3 2022 primarily due to lower pre-tax income and increased investment tax credits.
Income tax expense from continuing operations decreased by $5.9 million to $7.1 million in Q4 2022 from $13.0 million in Q4 2021 primarily due to lower pre-tax income, partially offset by reduced investment tax credits.
The effective tax rate from continuing operations for Q4 2022 was 19.9% and 21.7% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Customers expects the full-year 2023 effective tax rate from continuing operations to be approximately 22% to 24%.

Outlook
“Looking ahead, we expect to moderate growth as we optimize the balance sheet, further build out our deposit franchise, maximize our efficiency ratio with prudent expense management, and actively buy back common shares to the extent we remain trading below book value. We expect 2023 core loan growth to be in the low-to-mid single digits with tighter margins in the first half of 2023 and wider margins in the second half of 2023. Deposits are expected to remain relatively flat with a focus on reducing high cost deposits. Full year 2023 net interest margin is expected to be between 2.85% - 3.05%. 2023 Core EPS (excluding PPP) is expected to be between $6.00 - $6.25 with a return on common equity of over 15%. Core non interest expense (excluding BM Technologies expense) is expected to increase between 8% - 10% in 2023 and we are targeting a CET 1 ratio of approximately 9.5%. We are focused on improving the quality of our balance sheet and deposit franchise, improving our net interest margin, and achieving a book value in excess of $45 by year-end 2023. Customers Bancorp stock at the close of business on January 20, 2023 was trading at $31.12, only 0.8 times tangible book value* at December 31, 2022,” concluded Mr. Sam Sidhu.

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, 2022, our regulatory capital ratios reflected 75%, or $46.2 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 2.73%, 1.48% and 0.36% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(5) Non-GAAP tax-equivalent basis, using an estimated marginal tax rate of 26% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.
