BANKUNITED, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2021 RESULTS
 
Miami Lakes, Fla. — October 21, 2021 — BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
"The Company delivered a solid quarter. We're pleased by our continued progress in improving the deposit book and in the positive direction of credit trends" said Rajinder Singh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported net income of $86.9 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to $104.0 million or $1.11 per diluted share for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2021 and $66.6 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported net income of $289.7 million, or $3.12 per diluted share, compared to $112.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. On an annualized basis, earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 generated a return on average stockholders' equity of 12.4% and a return on average assets of 1.09%.
Financial Highlights
Net interest income decreased by $3.2 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2021 and increased by $7.6 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to 2.37% for the immediately preceding quarter and 2.32% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The net interest margin was impacted by pressure on earning asset yields, in part resulting from lower than expected commercial loan growth for the quarter, leading to continued deployment of liquidity into securities. Lower recognition of PPP fees also had an impact.
As expected, the average cost of total deposits continued to decline, dropping by 0.05% to 0.20% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 from 0.25% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2021, and 0.57% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. On a spot basis, the average annual percentage yield ("APY") on total deposits declined to 0.19% at September 30, 2021 from 0.22% at June 30, 2021 and 0.36% at December 31, 2020.
Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $324 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 while average non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $749 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $2.7 billion compared to the third quarter of the prior year. At September 30, 2021, non-interest bearing demand deposits represented 33% of total deposits, compared to 25% of total deposits at December 31, 2020.
Total deposits declined by $493 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as the Company continues to execute on a strategy focused on improving the quality of the deposit base rather than on growth in total deposits. Money market and savings deposits declined by $1.1 billion in the third quarter. The majority of this decline was attributable to reductions in accounts that management believes will be more price sensitive in a rising rate environment.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $(11.8) million compared to a recovery of $(27.5) million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2021 and a provision for credit losses of $29.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the provision for (recovery of) credit losses was $(67.4) million and $180.1 million, respectively. Year over year volatility in the provision related to the expected economic impact of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and subsequent recovery in 2021.
As expected, as the economy emerges from the COVID-19 crisis and our borrowers' operating results improve, criticized and classified loans continued to decline. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, total criticized and classified loans declined by $240 million. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans declined to 1.21% at September 30, 2021 from 1.28% at June 30, 2021.

Loans currently under short-term deferral totaled $17 million and loans modified under the CARES Act totaled $267 million for a total of $285 million at September 30, 2021, down from a total of $497 million at June 30, 2021.
Total loans and operating lease equipment, excluding the runoff of PPP loans, grew by $74 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Book value per common share and tangible book value per common share continued to accrete, increasing to $34.39 and $33.53, respectively, at September 30, 2021 from $33.91 and $33.08, respectively, at June 30, 2021 and $32.05 and $31.22, respectively at December 31, 2020.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 3.2 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $129.4 million, at a weighted average price of $40.62 per share.
On October 20, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $150 million in shares of its outstanding common stock.

The majority of commercial portfolio segments showed net declines for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as payoffs outpaced production. Commercial real estate portfolio segments in the aggregate declined by $317 million while commercial and industrial loans, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, remained relatively flat, growing by $13 million. Balances for Pinnacle, Bridge and mortgage warehouse declined by $114 million, $110 million and $141 million, respectively. The decrease in multifamily loans was largely attributable to $76 million of runoff in the New York portfolio.
PPP loans declined by $159 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, due to forgiveness of first draw program loans.

(1)    ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL, which carry nominal or no reserves, was 0.81%, 0.90% and 1.26% at September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(2)    Annualized for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.
The ACL at September 30, 2021 represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses given our assessment of historical data, current conditions and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast as of the balance sheet date. The estimate was informed by Moody's economic scenarios published in September 2021, economic information provided by additional sources, information about borrower financial condition and collateral values, data reflecting the impact of recent events on individual borrowers and other relevant information.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $(11.8) million, which included a recovery of $(11.6) million related to funded loans and an insignificant amount related to unfunded loan commitments and accrued interest receivable. The most significant factors contributing to the recovery of the provision for credit losses and corresponding reduction in the ACL for the quarter included declines in commercial loan balances and the accompanying shift in portfolio composition to residential loans which generally carry lower reserves, reductions in certain qualitative factors and an improving economic forecast. Improved borrower financial performance as reflected in the reduction in criticized and classified assets also contributed to the reduction in the ACL.

Net interest income
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was $195.1 million compared to $198.3 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2021 and $187.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Interest income decreased by $7.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and by $20.2 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Interest expense decreased by $4.3 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter and by $27.9 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Decreases in interest income resulted from turnover of the loan and investment portfolios at lower prevailing rates, as well as a decline in average loans. Declines in interest expense reflected the impact of our strategy focused on lowering the cost of deposits and improving the deposit mix, runoff and repricing of deposits generated in a higher rate environment, and declines in average interest bearing liabilities.
The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased by 0.04% to 2.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, from 2.37% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2021. Offsetting factors impacting the net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 included:
The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.29% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, from 0.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. This decline reflected continued initiatives taken to lower rates paid on deposits, including the re-pricing of term deposits.
4


The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 1.49% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 from 1.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. This decrease resulted from the impact of purchases of lower-yielding securities coupled with amortization, maturities and prepayment of securities purchased in a higher rate environment. Accounting adjustments related to faster prepayment speeds of securities purchased at a premium negatively impacted the yield on investment securities for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 by approximately 0.06%.
The tax-equivalent yield on loans decreased to 3.45% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, from 3.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Accelerated amortization of origination fees on PPP loans that were partially or fully forgiven during the quarter impacted the yield on loans by approximately 0.03% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to 0.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Factoring out the impact of accelerated amortization of PPP origination fees, the yield on loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased by 0.06% compared to the immediately preceding quarter. This decrease is mainly the result of growth in the residential portfolio at average yields lower than our commercial loan segments.
The increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of average total deposits also positively impacted the cost of total deposits and the net interest margin.
Capital Actions
On October 20, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150 million in shares of its outstanding common stock. This authorization is in addition to $58.3 million in remaining authorization as of September 30, 2021, under a previously announced share repurchase program. Any repurchases under the program will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws from time to time in open market or private transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, the Company’s capital position and amount of retained earnings, regulatory requirements and other considerations. No time limit was set for the completion of the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued without prior notice at any time.
