VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Valley include the accounts of the Bank and all other entities in which Valley has a controlling financial interest. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of Valley conform to GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, Valley does not consolidate statutory trusts established for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and related trust common securities. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly Valley’s financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows at June 30, 2024 and for all periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any subsequent interim period.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and industry practice have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Valley’s Annual Report.
Significant Estimates. In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. Material estimates that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgment and are particularly susceptible to change include: the allowance for credit losses, the evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, and income taxes. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary. While management uses its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ significantly from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these material estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Also, future amounts and values could differ materially from those estimates due to changes in values and circumstances after the balance sheet date.
Preferred Stock Series C Issuance. On August 5, 2024, Valley issued 6.0 million shares of its Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, no par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share for aggregate consideration of $150 million. Dividends on the preferred stock will accrue and be payable quarterly in arrears, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 8.250% from the date of original issue to, but excluding September 30, 2029, and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the five-year U.S. treasury rate as of the most recent dividend payment date plus 4.182 percent. Net proceeds to Valley after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses were $144.7 million.
In addition, Valley has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of the preferred stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Note 2. Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share:
Basic$0.13 $0.27 $0.31 $0.55 
Diluted0.13 0.27 0.31 0.55 
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable upon the assumed vesting or exercise, if applicable, of RSUs and common stock options to purchase Valley’s common shares. Common stock options with exercise prices that exceed the average market price of Valley’s common stock during the periods presented may have an anti-dilutive effect on the diluted earnings per common share calculation and therefore are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation along with RSUs. Potential anti-dilutive weighted common shares totaled approximately 6.9 million and 7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 6.0 million and 3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 4. New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
New Accounting Guidance Adopted in the First Quarter 2024
ASU No. 2023-02, “Investments –Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method,” is intended to improve the accounting and disclosures for investments in certain tax credit structures. ASU No. 2023-02 allows the option to apply the proportional amortization method to account for investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits when certain requirements are met. ASU No. 2023-02 became effective on January 1, 2024 and did not have a significant impact on Valley's consolidated financial statements. Under the new guidance, Valley did not elect to apply the proportional amortization method as an accounting policy for its eligible
12


tax credit investments and, as a result, there were no adjustments from adoption recognized in earnings on the date of adoption. See additional disclosures regarding Valley's tax credit investments in Note 14.
ASU No. 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” updates guidance in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and clarifies that a contractual sale restriction should not be considered in measuring fair value. It also requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities including (i) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction; (ii) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in restrictions; and (iii) the fair value of the securities with contractual sale restrictions. ASU No. 2022-03 became effective on January 1, 2024 and Valley's adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Guidance Effective at December 31, 2024
ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” requires public entities to disclose detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses on both an annual and interim basis. ASU No. 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in ASU No. 2023-07 should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The adoption of ASU No. 2023-07 is not expected to have a significant impact on Valley's consolidated financial statements, other than enhanced disclosures.
Note 5. Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

•Level 1    - Unadjusted exchange quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, or identical liabilities traded as assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly (i.e., quoted prices on similar assets) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
•Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring and Non-Recurring Basis
The following tables present the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as reported on the consolidated statements of financial condition at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The assets presented under “non-recurring fair value measurements” in the tables below are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances (e.g., when an impairment loss is recognized).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following valuation techniques were used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. All the valuation techniques described below apply to the unpaid principal balance, excluding any accrued interest or dividends at the measurement date. Interest income and expense are recorded within the consolidated statements of income depending on the nature of the instrument using the effective interest method based on acquired discount or premium.
Equity securities. The equity securities consisted of two publicly traded mutual funds, CRA investments and several other equity investments we have made in companies that develop new financial technologies and in partnerships that invest in such companies. These investments are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs.
Equity securities at NAV. Valley also has privately held CRA funds at fair value measured at NAV using the most recently available financial information from the investee. Certain equity investments without readily determinable
15


fair values are measured at NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient, which are excluded from fair value hierarchy levels in the tables above.
Trading debt securities. The fair value of trading debt securities, consisting of U.S. Treasury securities, are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Management reviews the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third-party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from market observable data.
Available for sale debt securities. U.S. Treasury securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. The majority of other investment securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The prices for these instruments are obtained through an independent pricing service or dealer market participants with whom Valley has historically transacted both purchases and sales of investment securities. Prices obtained from these sources include prices derived from market quotations and matrix pricing. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Management reviews the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities by its third-party provider to ensure the highest level of significant inputs are derived from market observable data. In addition, Valley reviews the volume and level of activity for all AFS debt securities and attempts to identify transactions which may not be orderly or reflective of a significant level of activity and volume.
Loans held for sale. Residential mortgage loans originated for sale are reported at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair values were calculated utilizing quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. The market prices represent a delivery price, which reflects the underlying price each institution would pay Valley for an immediate sale of an aggregate pool of mortgages. Non-performance risk did not materially impact the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 based on the short duration these assets were held and their credit quality.
Derivatives. Derivatives are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The fair values of Valley’s derivatives are determined using third-party prices that are based on discounted cash flow analysis using observed market inputs, such as the SOFR curve at June 30, 2024. The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives, consisting of interest rate lock commitments to fund residential mortgage loans and forward commitments for the future delivery of such loans (including certain loans held for sale at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023), is determined based on the current market prices for similar instruments. The fair value of a credit default swap related to a portion of Valley's automobile loan portfolio is based on estimated discounted cash flows that incorporate market data for auto credit loss forecasts and anticipated cash outflows for the instrument's premium payments. The fair value of most of the derivatives incorporate credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, to account for potential nonperformance risk of Valley and its counterparties. The credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of Valley’s derivatives at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See Note 12 for additional details on Valley's derivatives.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
The following valuation techniques were used for certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including collateral dependent loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral and foreclosed assets, which are reported at fair value upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment as described below.
Non-performing loan held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Valley transferred a non-performing construction loan totaling $10.0 million, net of charge-offs, to loans held for sale. The transfer at the loan's fair value resulted in a $4.2 million charge-off to the allowance of loan losses. The fair value of the loan was determined using Level 2 inputs, including bids from a third-party broker engaged to solicit interest from potential purchasers. The broker coordinated loan level due diligence with interested parties and established a formal bidding process in which each participant was required to provide an indicative non-binding bid. Fair value was determined based on a non-binding sale agreement selected by Valley during the bidding process. During the second quarter
16


ended June 30, 2024, an additional $1.2 million write-down was recorded to reflect the loan's current estimated fair value of $8.8 million at June 30, 2024.
Collateral dependent loans. Collateral dependent loans are loans where foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and substantially all of the repayment is expected from the collateral. Collateral dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs, consisting of individual third-party appraisals that may be adjusted based on certain discounting criteria. Certain real estate appraisals may be discounted based on specific market data by location and property type. At June 30, 2024, collateral dependent loans were individually re-measured and reported at fair value through direct loan charge-offs to the allowance for loan losses based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. At June 30, 2024, collateral dependent loans with a total amortized cost of $196.2 million, including taxi medallion loans totaling $41.6 million, were reduced by specific allowance for loan losses allocations totaling $83.6 million to a reported total net carrying amount of $112.6 million.
Foreclosed assets. Certain foreclosed assets (consisting of other real estate owned and other repossessed assets included in other assets), upon initial recognition and transfer from loans, are re-measured and reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs, consisting of a third-party appraisal less estimated cost to sell. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. If further declines in the estimated fair value of an asset occur, the asset is re-measured and reported at fair value through a write-down recorded in non-interest expense. There were no adjustments to the appraisals of foreclosed assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
The fair value estimates presented in the following table were based on pertinent market data and relevant information on the financial instruments available as of the valuation date. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire portfolio of financial instruments. Because no market exists for a portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates may be based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For instance, Valley has certain fee-generating business lines (e.g., its mortgage servicing operations, trust and investment management departments) that were not considered in these estimates since these activities are not financial instruments. In addition, the tax implications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

Within the AFS debt securities portfolio, the total number of security positions in an unrealized loss position was 706 and 687 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of AFS securities that were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, lines of credit, and for other purposes required by law, was $1.7 billion.
The contractual maturities of AFS debt securities at June 30, 2024 are set forth in the following table. Maturities may differ from contractual maturities in residential mortgage-backed securities because the mortgages underlying the securities may be prepaid without any penalties. Therefore, residential mortgage-backed securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following summary.

Actual maturities of AFS debt securities may differ from those presented above since certain obligations provide the issuer the right to call or prepay the obligation prior to scheduled maturity without penalty.
The weighted average remaining expected life for residential mortgage-backed securities AFS was 6.73 years at June 30, 2024.
Impairment Analysis of Available For Sale Debt Securities
Valley's AFS debt securities portfolio includes corporate bonds and revenue bonds, among other securities. These types of securities may pose a higher risk of future impairment charges by Valley as a result of the unpredictable nature of the U.S. economy and its potential negative effect on the future performance of the security issuers.
AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses on a quarterly basis. Valley also evaluated AFS debt securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2024 included in the tables above and has determined that the declines in fair value are mainly attributable to interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility and liquidity conditions, not credit quality or other factors. Based on a comparison of the present value of expected cash flows to the amortized cost, there was no impairment recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Valley recognized a credit related impairment of one corporate bond issued by Signature Bank resulting in both a provision for credit losses and full charge-off of the security totaling $5.0 million based on a comparison of the present value of expected cash flows to the amortized cost. The bond was subsequently sold and the sale resulted in a $869 thousand gain during the fourth quarter 2023.
Valley does not intend to sell any of its AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that Valley will not be required to sell any of its securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis. None of the AFS debt securities were past due as of June 30, 2024. As a result, there was no allowance for credit losses for AFS debt securities at June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

Obligations of states and political subdivisions include municipal bonds and revenue bonds issued by various municipal corporations. At June 30, 2024, most of the obligations of states and political subdivisions were rated investment grade and a large portion of the “non-rated” category included municipal bonds secured by Ginnie Mae securities. Trust preferred securities consist of non-rated single-issuer securities issued by bank holding companies. Corporate bonds consist of debt primarily issued by banks.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Held to Maturity Debt Securities
Valley has a zero loss expectation for certain securities within the HTM portfolio, and therefore it is not required to estimate an allowance for credit losses related to these securities under the CECL standard. After an evaluation of qualitative factors, Valley identified the following security types which it believes qualify for this exclusion: U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and collateralized municipal bonds. To measure the expected credit losses on HTM debt securities that have loss expectations, Valley estimates the expected credit losses using a discounted cash flow model developed by a third-party.

Loans Portfolio Sales and Transfers to Loans Held for Sale
Valley sells residential mortgage loans originated for sale (at fair value) primarily to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the normal course of business. Under certain circumstances, Valley may decide to sell loans that were not originated with the intent to sell. During the first quarter 2024, Valley sold $151.0 million and $45.6 million of commercial real estate and construction loans, respectively, at par value through loan participation agreements with a related party, Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. (BLITA). During the first quarter 2024, Valley also transferred $34.1 million of construction loans from loans held for investment to loans held for sale as of March 31, 2024. These loans were subsequently sold at par value through loan participation agreements with BLITA in April 2024.
In February 2024, Valley completed the sale of its commercial premium finance lending business for $96.8 million. This asset sale included $95.5 million of assets, mainly consisting of $93.6 million of loans, and $2.8 million of related liabilities. The transaction generated a $3.6 million net gain for the first quarter 2024. Valley continues to
26


hold certain commercial premium finance loans totaling $67.5 million at June 30, 2024 which are mostly expected to run-off at their scheduled maturity dates.
There were no other sales or transfers of loans from the held for investment portfolio during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
Credit Risk Management
For all of its loan types, Valley adheres to a credit policy designed to minimize credit risk while generating the maximum income given the level of risk appetite. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis with subsequent approval by the Board annually. Credit authority relating to a significant dollar percentage of the overall portfolio is centralized and controlled by the Credit Risk Management Division and by the Credit Committee. A reporting system supplements the management review process by providing management with frequent reports concerning loan production, loan quality, internal loan classification, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing, and potential problem loans. Loan portfolio diversification is an important factor utilized by Valley to manage its risk across business sectors and through cyclical economic circumstances. Additionally, Valley does not accept crypto assets as loan collateral for any of its loan portfolio classes. See Valley’s Annual Report for further details.

Credit quality indicators. Valley utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem loans within commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and construction loan portfolio classes. Under Valley’s internal risk rating system, loan relationships could be classified as “Pass,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss.” Substandard loans include loans that exhibit well-defined weakness and are characterized by the distinct possibility that Valley will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible with insignificant value and are charged-off immediately to the allowance for loan losses and, therefore, not presented in the table below. Loans that do not currently pose a sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but pose weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention are deemed Special Mention. Pass rated loans do not currently pose any identified risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants.

The following table presents the internal loan classification risk by loan portfolio class by origination year based on the most recent analysis performed at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as well as the gross loan charge-offs by year of origination for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Valley did not extend any commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans had been modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Loans in process of foreclosure. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, two commercial properties were transferred to OREO at the lower of cost or fair value totaling $8.1 million at June 30, 2024. The balance of OREO was not material at December 31, 2023. There were no foreclosed residential real estate properties included in OREO at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Residential mortgage and consumer loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process totaled $3.5 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Collateral dependent loans. Loans are collateral dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. When Valley determines that foreclosure is probable, the collateral dependent loan balances are written down to the estimated

current fair value (less estimated selling costs) resulting in an immediate charge-off to the allowance, excluding any consideration for personal guarantees that may be pursued in the Bank’s collection process.

During the second quarter 2024, Valley performed the annual goodwill impairment test at its normal assessment
date. The results of the 2024 annual impairment test resulted in no impairment of goodwill. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no triggering events that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any reporting unit below its carrying amount. There was no impairment of goodwill recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Loan servicing rights are accounted for using the amortization method. Under this method, Valley amortizes the loan servicing assets over the period of the economic life of the assets arising from estimated net servicing revenues. On a quarterly basis, Valley stratifies its loan servicing assets into groupings based on risk characteristics and assesses each group for impairment based on fair value. Impairment charges on loan servicing rights are recognized in earnings when the book value of a stratified group of loan servicing rights exceeds its estimated fair value. There was no impairment of loan servicing rights recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Core deposits are amortized using an accelerated method over a period of 10.0 years. The line item labeled “Other” included in the table above primarily consists of customer lists, certain financial asset servicing contracts and covenants not to compete, which are amortized over their expected lives generally using a straight-line method and have a weighted average amortization period of approximately 13.5 years.
Valley evaluates core deposits and other intangibles for impairment when an indication of impairment exists. There was no impairment of core deposits and other intangibles recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 11. Stock–Based Compensation
Valley maintains an incentive compensation plan to provide additional long-term incentives to employees, directors and officers whose contributions are essential to the continued growth and success of Valley. Under the plan, Valley may issue awards to its officers, employees and non-employee directors in amounts up to 14.5 million, subject to certain adjustments. As of June 30, 2024, 9.3 million shares of common stock were available for issuance under the plan.
RSUs are awarded as performance-based RSUs and time-based RSUs. The performance-based RSU awards are granted to certain officers and include RSUs subject to vesting conditions based upon certain levels of growth in Valley's tangible book value per share, plus dividends; and RSUs subject to vesting conditions based upon Valley's total shareholder return as compared to its peer group.
The table below summarizes RSU awards granted and average grant date fair values for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Valley recorded total stock-based compensation expense of approximately $7.6 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $15.7 million and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the unrecognized amortization expense for all stock-based employee compensation totaled approximately $47.4 million. This expense will be recognized over an average remaining
40


vesting period of approximately 2.0 years. See Note 12 in Valley’s Annual Report for additional information on the stock-based compensation awards.
Note 12. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Valley enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest and currency rates.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk. Valley’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Valley uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the payment of either fixed or variable-rate amounts in exchange for the receipt of variable or fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty, respectively.
Fair Value Hedges of Fixed Rate Assets and Liabilities. Valley is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates and interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings.
During the second quarter 2024, Valley entered into nine forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $404.3 million to hedge the changes in fair value of certain fixed rate brokered time deposits. Commencing in January and February 2025, Valley will receive fixed rate amounts ranging from approximately 4.12 percent to 4.65 percent, in exchange for variable-rate payments based on the Floating SOFR Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) compound rate. The swaps have expiration dates ranging from April 2026 to May 2027.
Non-designated Hedges. Derivatives not designated as hedges may be used to manage Valley’s exposure to interest rate movements or to provide a service to customers but do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting under GAAP. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not entered into for speculative purposes. Valley executes interest rate swaps with commercial lending customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. These interest rate swaps with customers are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that Valley executes with a third- party, such that Valley minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As these interest rate swaps do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.
Valley sometimes enters into risk participation agreements with external lenders where the banks are sharing their risk of default on the interest rate swaps on participated loans. Valley either pays or receives a fee depending on the participation type. Risk participation agreements are credit derivatives not designated as hedges. Credit derivatives are not speculative and are not used to manage interest rate risk in assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value in credit derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. At June 30, 2024, Valley had 49 credit swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $605.4 million related to risk participation agreements.
At June 30, 2024, Valley had two “steepener” swaps, each with a current notional amount of $10.4 million where the receive rate on the swap mirrors the pay rate on the brokered deposits and the rates paid on these types of hybrid instruments are based on a formula derived from the spread between the long and short ends of the Constant Maturity Swap rate curve. Although these types of instruments do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, the change in fair value of both the bifurcated derivative and the stand alone swap tend to move in opposite directions with changes in the three-month Term SOFR rate and, therefore, provide an effective economic hedge.
Valley regularly enters into mortgage banking derivatives which are non-designated hedges. These derivatives include interest rate lock commitments provided to customers to fund certain residential mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of such loans. Valley enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are
41


entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of future changes in interest rates on Valley's commitments to fund the loans as well as on its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale.
Valley enters into foreign currency forward and option contracts, primarily to accommodate our customers, that are not designated as hedging instruments. Upon the origination of certain foreign currency denominated transactions (including foreign currency holdings and non-U.S. dollar denominated loans) with a client, we enter into a respective hedging contract with a third party financial institution to mitigate the economic impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuation.
During June 2024, Valley entered into a credit default swap related to $1.5 billion of its $1.8 billion automobile loan portfolio at June 30, 2024 primarily to enhance the risk profile of these assets for regulatory capital purposes. The credit default swap is a freestanding contract measured at fair value with resulting gains or losses recognized in non-interest expense. The fair value of the credit default swap upon initial recognition was zero at June 30, 2024. Valley recorded approximately $400 thousand of transaction costs and $1.1 million of premium expense in other expense during the second quarter 2024 related to the credit default swap.

Collateral Requirements and Credit Risk Related Contingent Features. By using derivatives, Valley is exposed to credit risk if counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as expected. Management attempts to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and obtaining collateral where appropriate. Credit risk exposure associated with derivative contracts is managed at Valley in conjunction with Valley’s consolidated counterparty risk management process. Valley’s counterparties and the risk limits monitored by management are periodically reviewed and approved by the Board.
Valley has agreements with its derivative counterparties providing that if Valley defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then Valley could also be declared in default on its derivative counterparty agreements. Additionally, Valley has an agreement with several of its derivative counterparties that contains provisions that require Valley’s debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies from which it receives a credit rating. If Valley’s credit rating is reduced below investment grade, or such rating is withdrawn or suspended, then the counterparties could terminate the derivative positions and Valley would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. As of June 30, 2024, Valley was in compliance with all of the provisions of its derivative counterparty agreements. The aggregate fair value of all derivative financial instruments with credit risk-related contingent features was in a net asset position at June 30, 2024. Valley has derivative counterparty agreements that require minimum collateral posting thresholds for certain counterparties.
Note 13. Balance Sheet Offsetting
Certain financial instruments, including certain OTC derivatives (mostly interest rate swaps) and repurchase agreements (accounted for as secured long-term borrowings), may be eligible for offset in the consolidated statements of financial condition and/or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. OTC derivatives include interest rate swaps executed and settled bilaterally with counterparties without the use of an organized exchange or central clearing house (presented in the table below). The credit risk associated with bilateral OTC derivatives is managed through obtaining collateral and enforceable master netting agreements.
Valley is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, Valley does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all swap agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of cash or marketable investment securities, is posted by or received from the counterparty with net liability or asset positions, respectively, in accordance with contract thresholds. Master repurchase agreements which include “right of set-off” provisions generally have a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts. In such cases, the collateral would be used
44


to settle the fair value of the swap or repurchase agreement should Valley be in default. Total amount of collateral held or pledged cannot exceed the net derivative fair values with the counterparty.
The table below presents information about Valley’s financial instruments eligible for offset in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 14. Tax Credit Investments
Valley’s tax credit investments are primarily related to investments promoting qualified affordable housing projects, and other investments related to community development and renewable energy sources. Some of these tax-advantaged investments support Valley’s regulatory compliance with the CRA. Valley’s investments in these entities generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits and other tax benefits, such as tax deductions from operating losses of the investments, over specified time periods. These tax credits and deductions are recognized as a reduction of income tax expense.
Valley’s tax credit investments are carried in other assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Valley’s unfunded capital and other commitments related to the tax credit investments are carried in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Valley recognizes amortization of tax credit investments, including impairment losses, within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income using the equity method of accounting. After initial measurement, the carrying amounts of tax credit investments with non-readily determinable fair values are increased to reflect Valley's share of income of the investee and are reduced to reflect its share of losses of the investee, dividends received and impairments, if applicable.

Note 15. Operating Segments
Valley manages its business operations under operating segments consisting of Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. Activities not assigned to the operating segments are included in Treasury and Corporate Other. Each operating segment is reviewed routinely for its asset growth, contribution to income before income taxes and return on average interest earning assets and impairment (if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount). Valley regularly assesses its strategic plans, operations and reporting structures to identify its operating segments and no changes to Valley's operating segments were determined necessary during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Consumer Banking segment is mainly comprised of residential mortgages and automobile loans, and to a lesser extent, secured personal lines of credit, home equity loans and other consumer loans. The duration of the residential mortgage loan portfolio is subject to movements in the market level of interest rates and forecasted prepayment speeds. The average weighted life of the automobile loans within the portfolio is relatively unaffected by movements in the market level of interest rates. However, the average life may be impacted by new loans as a result of the availability of credit within the automobile marketplace and consumer demand for purchasing new or used automobiles. Consumer Banking also includes the Wealth Management and Insurance Services Division, comprised of trust, asset management, brokerage, insurance and tax credit advisory services.
46


The Commercial Banking segment is comprised of floating rate and adjustable rate commercial and industrial loans and construction loans, as well as fixed rate owner occupied and commercial real estate loans. Due to the portfolio’s interest rate characteristics, Commercial Banking is Valley’s operating segment that is most sensitive to movements in market interest rates.
Treasury and Corporate Other largely consists of the Treasury managed HTM debt securities and AFS debt securities portfolios mainly utilized in the liquidity management needs of our lending segments and income and expense items resulting from support functions not directly attributable to a specific segment. Interest income is generated through investments in various types of securities (mainly comprised of fixed rate securities) and interest-bearing deposits with other banks (primarily the FRB of New York). Expenses related to the branch network, all other components of retail banking, along with the back office departments of the Bank are allocated from Treasury and Corporate Other to the Consumer and Commercial Banking segments. Interest expense and internal transfer expense (for general corporate expenses) are allocated to each operating segment utilizing a transfer pricing methodology, which involves the allocation of operating and funding costs based on each segment's respective mix of average interest earning assets and or liabilities outstanding for the period.
The accounting for each operating segment and Treasury and Corporate Other includes internal accounting policies designed to measure consistent and reasonable financial reporting and may result in income and expense measurements that differ from amounts under GAAP. The financial reporting for each segment contains allocations and reporting in line with Valley’s operations, which may not necessarily be comparable to any other financial institution. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in reported segment financial data.
The following tables represent the financial data for Valley’s operating segments and Treasury and Corporate Other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Critical Accounting Estimates
Valley’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions in accordance with these policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated. At June 30, 2024, we identified our policies on the allowance for credit losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, and income taxes to be critical accounting policies because management has to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Management has reviewed the application of these policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of Valley’s Board. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in detail in Part II, Item 7 in Valley’s Annual Report, and there have been no material changes in such policies and estimates since the date of Valley’s Annual Report.
New Authoritative Accounting Guidance
See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of new authoritative accounting guidance, including the dates of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial condition.
Executive Summary
Company Overview. At June 30, 2024, Valley had consolidated total assets of approximately $62.1 billion, total net loans of $49.8 billion, total deposits of $50.1 billion and total shareholders’ equity of $6.7 billion. Valley operates many convenient branch office locations and commercial banking offices in northern and central New Jersey, the New York City boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, Long Island, Westchester County, New York, Florida, California, Alabama and Illinois. Of our current 230 branch network, 55 percent, 18 percent, and 18 percent of the branches are located in New Jersey, New York and Florida, respectively, with the remaining 9 percent of the branches in Alabama, California, and Illinois combined.
Financial Condition. The combination of an inverted yield curve, a high level of competition and Federal Reserve monetary actions driven by prolonged inflationary pressures, among other factors, continued to weigh on the banking industry during the second quarter 2024. In the face of these challenges, we have positioned our balance sheet to best mitigate these negative factors, while continuing to focus on longer term earnings performance. The following items are key highlights at June 30, 2024.
•Total assets increased to $62.1 billion at June 30, 2024 from $61.0 billion at March 31, 2024. Our liquid assets totaled $3.4 billion at June 30, 2024, representing 6.1 percent of interest earning assets as compared with $2.7 billion, or 4.8 percent of interest earning assets at March 31, 2024. We continue to maintain significant access to readily available, diverse funding sources to fulfill both short-term and long-term funding needs. See the “Bank Liquidity” section for additional information.
•Total deposits increased $1.0 billion to $50.1 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to $49.1 billion at March 31, 2024 mainly due to higher indirect customer CD balances. See the “Deposits and Other Borrowings” section for more details.
51


•Total loans increased $389.7 million, or 3.1 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.3 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly as a result of our focus on new commercial and industrial loan production during the second quarter 2024. Strong indirect automobile loan originations from our dealer network, as well as modest organic commercial real estate loan volumes also contributed to the growth in total loans during the second quarter 2024. Loans held for sale decreased $41.9 million to $19.9 million at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mostly due to the previously disclosed sale of $34.1 million of construction loans at par during April 2024. See further details on our loan activities under the “Loan Portfolio” section below.
•While non-accrual loans and net loan charge-offs increased during the second quarter 2024 mainly due to two commercial loan relationships, overall asset quality remained generally stable across the loan portfolio and continued to reflect our disciplined underwriting and lending practices. Non-performing assets (NPAs) as a percentage of total loans and NPAs increased to 0.62 percent at June 30, 2024 as compared to 0.58 percent at March 31, 2024. Total net loan charge-offs to average loans was 0.29 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared with 0.19 percent for the first quarter 2024. See the “Non-Performing Assets” section for additional information.
•Total investment securities increased $704.6 million to $5.9 billion, or 9.6 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to purchases of residential mortgage backed securities largely issued by Ginnie Mae that were classified as available for sale. See the “Investment Securities Portfolio” section for more details.
•Total shareholders' equity increased $10.6 million to $6.7 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024. Regulatory capital remained strong with ratios of both Valley and the Bank exceeding all capital adequacy requirements at June 30, 2024. During June 2024, we completed a synthetic credit risk transfer transaction, consisting of a credit default swap, related to approximately $1.5 billion of our $1.8 billion automobile loan portfolio at June 30, 2024. While we retained the auto loans on-balance sheet and the transaction had no impact to our allowance for loan losses, the new credit protection significantly reduced the risk-weighted assets associated with these loans for regulatory capital purposes. As a result, Valley’s total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital ratios benefited by approximately 20 basis points at June 30, 2024.
Subsequent Event. On August 5, 2024, Valley issued 6.0 million shares of its 8.250 percent Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, no par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Net proceeds to Valley after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses were $144.7 million. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements and the "Capital Adequacy" section below for more details.
Quarterly Results. Net income for the second quarter 2024 was $70.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, as compared to $139.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2023. The $68.6 million decrease in quarterly net income as compared to the same quarter one year ago was mainly due to the following changes:
•a $76.0 million increase in our provision for credit losses mainly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loan growth, and additional specific reserves and charge-offs associated with the revaluation of collateral dependent commercial loans at June 30, 2024;
•an $18.1 million decrease in net interest income as higher yields on both new loan originations and adjustable-rate loans were more than offset by an increase in the cost of deposits; and
•an $8.9 million decrease in non-interest income that was primarily driven by a decrease in swap fees related to commercial loan transactions (within capital market fees) and lower other income, partially offset by an increase in bank owned life insurance income.
52


Which were partially offset by:
•a $28.9 million decrease in income tax expense mostly due to lower pre-tax income in the second quarter 2024 and a higher level of investment in tax credits as compared to one year ago; and
•a $5.5 million decrease in non-interest expense largely due to $10.8 million decline in restructuring charges within salary and employee benefits expense, partially offset by higher FDIC assessment fees.
See the “Net Interest Income,” “Non-Interest Income,” “Non-Interest Expense” and “Income Taxes” sections below for more details on the impact of the items above and other infrequent non-core items impacting our second quarter 2024 results.
U.S. Economic Conditions. During the second quarter 2024, real gross GDP increased at an annual rate of 2.8 percent as compared to an increase of 1.4 percent during the first quarter 2024. The increase was driven by personal consumption, government spending and nonresidential fixed investment. Alternatively, residential fixed investment and net exports declined. In addition, most measures of inflation continued to reflect a moderation in price pressures during the quarter. Inflation rate declined to 3.0 percent in the second quarter 2024 as compared to 3.5 percent for the first quarter 2024.
In June 2024, the Federal Reserve noted that economic activity was solid, job gains remained strong, and that inflation, while it remains elevated, has continued to decelerate at a modest pace. As a result, the Federal Reserve decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate between 5.25 and 5.50 percent. Additionally, the Federal Reserve released its updated summary of economic projections which indicated that the median participant’s expectation for the federal funds rate by the end of 2024 was 5.1 percent. However, a softer than expected job report in July 2024 has increased market participant expectations for potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, including at their next committee meeting in September 2024.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield ended the second quarter 2024 at 4.36 percent, or 16 basis points higher as compared to the first quarter 2024, and the 2-year U.S. Treasury note yield ended the second quarter 2024 at 4.71 percent, or 12 basis points higher as compared to the first quarter 2024.
For all commercial banks in the U.S., total loans and leases grew 0.6 percent from March 31, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Commercial and industrial lending increased 1.3 percent while commercial real estate lending declined 0.3 percent during the same period. For the second quarter of 2024, banks reported some easing to underwriting standards for most commercial loan products which may support loan growth in future months. However, banks continued to report that demand for both commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans remained weak.
Although Federal Reserve efforts to combat inflation are showing modest progress, several factors, including, but not limited to new and proposed bank regulatory actions, the inverted yield curve, potential weakening of the labor market, elevated inflation and interest rates, the upcoming U.S. presidential election and geopolitical conflicts have added a higher level of uncertainty to the future path of the U.S. economy and created a challenging bank operating environment. Should these conditions persist or further deteriorate, they may adversely impact our banking clients and our financial results, as highlighted in this MD&A.
Deposits and Other Borrowings
Total average deposits increased by $807.2 million to $49.4 billion for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 due to increases of $766.8 million and $40.4 million in average interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits, respectively. Average time deposits balances increased $712.0 million primarily due to our increased use of indirect customer (i.e., brokered) CDs as a funding source in the second quarter 2024. Average non-interest-bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented
53


approximately 23 percent, 50 percent and 27 percent of total deposits for the second quarter 2024, respectively as compared to 23 percent, 51 percent and 26 percent of total deposits for the first quarter 2024, respectively.
Actual ending balances for deposits increased $1.0 billion to $50.1 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly due to an increase of $1.5 billion in time deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $349.8 million in savings, NOW and money market deposits and a decrease of $155.6 million in non-interest bearing deposits. The increase in time deposits was mainly due to a $1.7 billion increase in indirect customer CDs. Non-interest bearing deposit and savings, NOW and money market deposit balances declined at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 partly due to period-end fluctuations within certain direct commercial customer deposit accounts. During the second quarter 2024, management entered into fair value swap transactions with a combined notional value of approximately $400 million that will effectively convert a portion of its fixed rate indirect CD portfolio to variable interest rates starting in the first quarter 2025 (See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for more details). Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 22 percent, 49 percent and 29 percent of total deposits as of June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to 23 percent, 51 percent and 26 percent of total deposits as of March 31, 2024, respectively.

Three to six months518,046 
Six to twelve months712,456 
More than twelve months191,387 
Total$2,099,586 
Total estimated uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized government deposits and intercompany deposits (i.e., deposits eliminated in consolidation), totaled approximately $11.0 billion, or 22 percent of total deposits, at June 30, 2024 as compared to $11.5 billion, or 24 percent of total deposits, at March 31, 2024.
While we maintained a diversified commercial and consumer deposit base at June 30, 2024, deposit gathering initiatives and our current deposit base could remain challenged due to market competition, attractive investment alternatives, such as U.S. Treasury securities, and other factors. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain deposit levels at or near those reported at June 30, 2024. Management continuously monitors liquidity and all available funding sources including non-deposit borrowings discussed below. See the “Liquidity and Cash Requirements” section of this MD&A for additional information.

Average short-term borrowings decreased $1.4 billion during the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 mostly due to a shift from short-term FHLB advances to indirect customer time deposits in our average mix of funding sources. Average long-term borrowings (including junior subordinated debentures issued to capital trusts which are presented separately on the consolidated statements of financial condition) increased $693.3 million as compared to the first quarter 2024 mainly due to new FHLB advances totaling $1.0 billion issued in early March 2024. The new long-term FHLB borrowings have a weighted average rate of 4.54 percent and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 3.3 years at June 30, 2024.
Actual ending balances for short-term borrowings decreased $11.5 million to $63.8 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to a moderate decline in securities sold under repurchase agreements. Long-term borrowings totaled $3.3 billion at June 30, 2024 and also remained relatively unchanged as compared to March 31, 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The table below presents selected performance indicators, their comparative non-GAAP measures and the (non-GAAP) efficiency ratio for the periods indicated. Valley believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley's underlying operational performance, business, and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies.

In addition to the items used to calculate net income, as adjusted, in the table above, our net income is, from time to time, impacted by fluctuations in the level of net gains on sales of loans, wealth management and trust fees, and capital markets fees. These amounts can vary widely from period to period due to, among other factors, the amount and timing of residential mortgage loans originated for sale, brokerage and tax credit investment advisory activities and commercial loan customer demand for certain interest rate swap products. See the “Non-Interest Income” section below for more details.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $403.0 million for the second quarter 2024 increased $8.1 million compared to the first quarter 2024 and decreased $18.3 million as compared to the second quarter 2023. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $4.8 million to $834.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 mostly due to additional interest income from targeted investment purchases within the available for sale securities portfolio, as well as higher average overnight interest bearing deposits with banks during the second quarter 2024. A higher yield on average loans also contributed to the increase in interest income but was more than offset by the impact of lower average loan balances during the second quarter 2024 mostly caused by the sale of certain commercial loans in the first quarter 2024 and April 2024. Total interest expense decreased $3.3 million to $431.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 mainly
59


due to greater utilization of long-term FHLB borrowings and indirect customer time deposits as liquidity funding sources and a reduction in higher cost short-term FHLB borrowings starting in March 2024.
Average interest earning assets decreased $578.9 million to $56.8 billion for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 mainly due to a $1.4 billion decline in average interest bearing cash held overnight as our excess liquidity returned to more normalized levels in 2024 after being elevated in response to the bank failures in 2023. The decrease in average interest bearing cash was partially offset by a $563.0 million increase in average loan balances mostly driven by organic commercial loan growth since June 30, 2023 and the increase in average investment securities stemming from our second quarter 2024 purchase activity in the available for sale portfolio. Compared to the first quarter 2024, average interest earning assets increased by $154.2 million during the second quarter 2024. The increase was mainly driven by increases of $284.1 million and $100.3 million in average taxable investments and average overnight interest bearing cash balances, respectively, as compared to the prior linked quarter, partially offset by a $225.7 million decline in average loan balances. The decline in average loans was largely due to (1) the sale of $196.5 million of commercial real estate and construction loans through loan participation agreements at par value in March 2024, (2) the sale of $93.6 million of commercial and industrial loans associated with the sale of our premium finance lending division in February 2024, and (3) the sale of $34.1 million of construction loans at par during April 2024, partially offset by (4) organic loan growth in the second quarter 2024.
Average interest bearing liabilities increased $650.6 million to $41.6 billion for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 mainly due to increases of $3.5 billion and $979.5 million in average interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $3.8 billion in average short-term borrowings. The increase in average time deposits was largely due to increased usage of fully FDIC-insured indirect customer CDs and successful direct retail CD initiatives since June 30, 2023, while average long-term borrowings increased mostly due to several new FHLB advances totaling $1.0 billion in early March 2024. As compared to the first quarter 2024, average interest bearing liabilities increased by only $19.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as increases of $766.8 million and $693.3 million in average interest bearing deposits and long-term borrowings, respectively, were mostly offset by a $1.4 billion decrease in average short-term borrowings. See additional information under “Deposits and Other Borrowings” in the Executive Summary section above.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 2.84 percent for the second quarter 2024 increased by 5 basis points from 2.79 percent for the first quarter 2024 and decreased 10 basis points from 2.94 percent for the second quarter 2023. The increase as compared to the first quarter 2024 was largely driven by the combination of a higher yield on average interest earning assets and a decline in the cost of average interest bearing liabilities. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by 2 basis points to 5.88 percent on a linked quarter basis largely due to higher yielding investment purchases and new loan originations during the second quarter 2024. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 4 basis points to 4.15 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the first quarter 2024 primarily due to a reduction in both higher cost short-term FHLB borrowings and government banking non-maturity deposit account balances. Our cost of total average deposits was 3.18 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to 3.16 percent and 2.45 percent for the first quarter 2024 and the second quarter 2023, respectively.
Based upon our latest model estimates, we anticipate net interest income growth in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 percent on a quarterly basis for both the third and fourth quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2024. While we remain optimistic that our net interest income should continue to stabilize and grow during the remainder of 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2024, our forecasts include several uncertain assumptions, including changes in the level of market interest rates. As such, we cannot provide any assurances that our net interest income or margin will remain at the levels reported for the second quarter 2024. For a detailed discussion on the risks related to interest rates please refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.

Wealth management and trust fees income increased $2.0 million and $10.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The increase as compared to the
second quarter 2023 was mainly driven by higher brokerage fees. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly due to a higher volume of success fees and other related periodic revenues generated by our tax credit advisory subsidiary, as well as increased brokerage fees. Brokerage fees increased by $1.2 million to $6.1 million for the second quarter 2024 and increased $2.6 million to $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in 2023 due to stronger customer trading volume at our broker dealer subsidiary.
Capital markets income decreased $9.2 million and $14.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 mainly due to a decline in the volume of interest rate swap transactions, and resulting fees related to commercial loan customers, as well as lower loan syndication fees.
Net gains on sales of assets increased $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 largely due to a $3.6 million net gain on the sale of our commercial premium finance lending business in the first quarter 2024.
Bank owned life insurance income increased $2.1 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 due to improved performance of the underlying investment securities.
Other non-interest income decreased $4.5 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease as compared to the
second quarter 2023 was due, in part, to net losses related to the decline in the valuation of certain equity method investments at June 30, 2024. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was mainly attributable to a $2.7 million litigation recovery in the same period in 2023, and to a lesser extent, the decline in the valuation of certain equity method investments.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense decreased $5.5 million and increased $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Salary and employee benefits expense decreased $8.8 million and $11.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases in both 2024 periods were largely attributable to restructuring charges of $11.2 million recognized in the second quarter 2023, consisting of severance expense related to workforce reductions, partially offset by normal increases in labor costs and a decline in deferred compensation. The net decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was also due to merger related costs,
64


primarily consisting of severance and retention compensation, totaling $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Net occupancy expense decreased $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 mainly due to lower building repair and utilities expenses.
Technology, furniture and equipment expense increased $2.7 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023 mostly due to higher investments in technology, partially offset by decreases in equipment maintenance and repair expense.
FDIC insurance assessment expense increased $4.0 million and $13.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2023 due, in part, to additional estimated expenses of $1.4 million and $8.8 million recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to the FDIC special assessment.
Professional and legal fees decreased $3.5 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decreases in both periods were largely attributable to lower technology managed services and consulting expenses, partially offset by higher legal fees.
Other non-interest expense increased $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 mainly due to increased interest charges on collateral related to derivative transactions and the costs related to the loan credit risk transfer transaction, consisting of a credit default swap, executed in June 2024. Total transaction costs included $400 thousand of one-time charges and $1.1 million of premium expense recorded in other expense during the second quarter 2024. The premium expense associated with the credit protection is estimated to be approximately $6.0 million for the remainder of 2024.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense totaled $22.9 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to $33.2 million and $51.8 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 24.5 percent, 25.6 percent and 27.1 percent for the second quarter 2024, first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023 was primarily due to lower pre-tax income and larger investments in tax credits.
GAAP requires that any change in judgment or change in measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period be recognized as a discrete event in the quarter in which it occurs, rather than being recognized as a change in effective tax rate for the current year. Our adherence to these tax guidelines may result in volatile effective income tax rates in future quarterly and annual periods. Factors that could impact management’s judgment include changes in income, tax laws and regulations, and tax planning strategies. Based on the current information available, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will be 25 to 26 percent for the full year ended December 31, 2024.
Operating Segments
Valley manages its business operations under operating segments consisting of Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking. Activities not assigned to the operating segments are included in Treasury and Corporate Other. Each operating segment is reviewed routinely for its asset growth, contribution to income before income taxes, return on average interest earning assets and impairment (if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount). Valley regularly assesses its strategic plans, operations, and reporting structures to identify its operating segments and no changes to the operating segments were determined necessary during the first half of 2024.
The accounting for each operating segment and Treasury and Corporate Other includes internal accounting policies designed to measure consistent and reasonable financial reporting and may result in income and expense measurements that differ from amounts under GAAP. The financial reporting for each segment contains allocations and reporting in line with Valley’s operations, which may not necessarily be comparable to those of any other
65


financial institution. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in reported segment financial data.
The following tables present the financial data for Valley's operating segments, and Treasury and Corporate Other for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Consumer Banking Segment
The Consumer Banking segment represented 18.0 percent of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2024, and was mainly comprised of residential mortgage loans and automobile loans, and to a lesser extent, home equity loans, secured personal lines of credit and other consumer loans (including credit card loans). The duration of the residential mortgage loan portfolio (which represented 11.2 percent of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2024) is subject to movements in the market level of interest rates and forecasted prepayment speeds. The weighted average life of the automobile loans portfolio (which represented 3.5 percent of total loans at June 30, 2024) is relatively unaffected by movements in the market level of interest rates. However, the average life may be impacted by new loans as a result of the availability of credit within the automobile marketplace and consumer demand for purchasing new or used automobiles. Consumer Banking also includes the Wealth Management and Insurance Services Division, comprised of trust, asset management, brokerage, insurance and tax credit advisory services.
Consumer Banking’s average interest earning assets increased $201.0 million to $9.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023. The increase was largely due to new residential mortgage loan volumes originated for investment rather than sale over the last 12-month period and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average auto loan balances.
Income before income taxes generated by the Consumer Banking segment increased $3.4 million to $15.7 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 and was mainly driven by a combination of increases in non-interest income and net interest income, partially offset by an increase in internal transfer expense and a higher provision for loan losses. The non-interest income increased $4.1 million mainly due to brokerage fees generated from certain private banking clients. See further details in the “Non-Interest Income” section of this MD&A. Net interest income for this segment increased $3.0 million mainly due to higher interest rates on new and adjustable loans, largely offset by an increase in funding costs driven by higher interest rates. The provision for loan losses increased $1.3 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 mainly due to loan growth. See further details in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section of this MD&A.
66


Net interest margin on the Consumer Banking portfolio increased 7 basis points to 1.86 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 mainly due to a 56 basis point increase in the yield on average loans, partially offset by a 49 basis point increase in the costs associated with our funding sources. The increase in our funding costs was mainly driven by higher interest rates on most of our interest bearing deposit products during the second quarter 2024. The 56 basis point increase in loan yield was largely due to higher yielding new loan volumes and adjustable rate loans in our portfolio. Our cost of total average deposits was 3.18 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to 2.45 percent for the second quarter 2023. See the “Executive Summary” and the “Net Interest Income” sections above for more details on our net interest margin and funding sources.
The return on average interest earning assets before income taxes for the Consumer Banking segment was 0.64 percent for the second quarter 2024 compared to 0.51 percent for the second quarter 2023.
Commercial Banking Segment
The Commercial Banking segment is comprised of floating rate and adjustable rate commercial and industrial loans and construction loans, as well as fixed rate owner occupied and commercial real estate loans. Due to the portfolio’s interest rate characteristics, Commercial Banking is Valley’s operating segment that is most sensitive to movements in market interest rates. Commercial and industrial loans totaled approximately $9.5 billion and represented 18.8 percent of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2024. Commercial real estate loans and construction loans totaled $31.8 billion and represented 63.2 percent of the total loan portfolio at June 30, 2024.
Average interest earning assets in Commercial Banking segment increased $362.0 million to $40.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 primarily due to organic loan growth over the last 12 month period largely within the commercial real estate loan portfolio.
Income before income taxes for Commercial Banking decreased $100.2 million to $130.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period of 2023 mainly due to a combination of a higher provision for credit losses, a decrease in net interest income and higher internal transfer expense. The provision for credit losses increased $74.5 million to $77.3 million as compared to the same period in 2023 mainly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loan growth, and additional specific reserves and charge-offs associated with the revaluation of collateral dependent commercial loans at June 30, 2024. See details in the “Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans” section of this MD&A. Net interest income for this segment decreased $10.7 million to $355.4 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the higher cost of funding and the inverted yield curve. Internal transfer expense also increased $11.1 million to $121.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023.
The net interest margin for this segment decreased 15 basis points to 3.53 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 due to a 49 basis point increase in the cost of our funding sources, partially offset by a 34 basis point increase in the yield on average loans.
The return on average interest earning assets before income taxes for the commercial banking segment was 1.30 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2.32 percent for the same period in 2023.
Treasury and Corporate Other
Treasury and Corporate Other largely consists of the Treasury managed AFS and HTM debt securities portfolios mainly utilized in the liquidity management needs of our lending segments and income and expense items resulting from support functions not directly attributable to a specific segment. Interest income is generated through investments in various types of securities (mainly comprised of fixed rate securities) and interest-bearing deposits with other banks (primarily the FRB of New York). Expenses related to the branch network, all other components of retail banking, along with the back office departments of the Bank are allocated from Treasury and Corporate Other to the Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking segments. Interest expense and internal transfer expense (for general corporate expenses) are allocated to each operating segment utilizing a transfer pricing methodology, which
67


involves the allocation of operating and funding costs based on each segment's respective mix of average interest earning assets and/or liabilities outstanding for the period. Other items disclosed in Treasury and Corporate Other include net gains and losses on AFS and HTM securities transactions, interest expense related to subordinated notes, amortization of tax credit investments, as well as other non-core items, including merger, restructuring expenses and FDIC special assessment charges.
Treasury and Corporate Other's average interest earning assets decreased $1.1 billion to $6.8 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a $1.4 billion decline in average interest bearing cash held overnight as our excess liquidity returned to more normalized levels in 2024 after being elevated in response to the bank failures in most of 2023.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, loss before income taxes totaled $53.1 million compared to $52.4 million for the same period in 2023. The $702 thousand increase in the pre-tax loss during the second quarter 2024 was mainly driven by a decrease in net interest income on interest bearing deposits with banks combined with lower non-interest income. The negative impact of these items was largely offset by lower non-interest expense and higher internal transfer income. Non-interest expense decreased $5.1 million to $220.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The internal transfer income increased $14.2 million to $151.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 due to higher allocations of the overhead expense to the Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking segments over the same period. See further details in the “Non-Interest Income” and “Non-Interest Expense” sections of this MD&A.
Treasury and Corporate Other's net interest margin decreased 45 basis points to 0.74 percent for the second quarter 2024 as compared to the second quarter 2023 due to a 49 basis point increase in cost of our funding sources, partly offset by a 4 basis point increase in the yield on average investments.

Consumer Banking Segment

The Consumer Banking segment's average interest earning assets increased $259.7 million to $9.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was largely due to new residential mortgage loan volumes originated for investment rather than sale over the last 12-month period as well as growth in secured personal lines of credit and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average home equity loans.

68


Income before income taxes generated by Consumer Banking increased $3.3 million to $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 and was mainly driven by a combination of an increase in non-interest income and lower provision for loan losses, largely offset by higher internal transfer expense and lower net interest income. The non-interest income increased $12.7 million mainly due to a higher volume of success fees and other related periodic fees generated by our tax credit advisory subsidiary, as well as brokerage fees generated from certain private banking clients. See further details in the “Non-Interest Income” section of this MD&A. Net interest income for this segment decreased $6.0 million mainly due to higher funding costs driven by higher interest rates. The provision for loan losses decreased $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 mainly due to lower loan growth and an improved economic outlook as compared to one year ago. See further details in the “Allowance for Credit Losses” section of this MD&A.

Net interest margin on the Consumer Banking portfolio decreased 18 basis points to 1.76 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 mainly due to a 75 basis point increase in the costs associated with our funding sources, partially offset by a 57 basis point increase in the yield on average loans. The increase in our funding costs was mainly driven by higher interest rates on most of our interest bearing deposit products, as well as the mix of our adjustable rate and other borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The 57 basis point increase in loan yield was largely due to higher yielding new loan volumes and adjustable rate loans in our portfolio. See details in the “Executive Summary” and the “Net Interest Income” sections above for more details on our net interest margin and funding sources.
The return on average interest earning assets before income taxes for the Consumer Banking segment was 0.57 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 0.51 percent for the same period in 2023.
Commercial Banking Segment

Average interest earning assets in the Commercial Banking segment increased $1.2 billion to $40.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to organic loan growth over the last 12 month period largely within the commercial real estate loan portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, income before income taxes for Commercial Banking decreased $172.2 million to $289.4 million as compared to the same period in 2023 mainly driven by higher provision for credit losses and internal transfer expense and a decrease in net interest income. The provision for credit losses increased $113.6 million to $119.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 mainly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loan growth, and additional specific reserves and charge-offs associated with the revaluation of collateral dependent commercial loans at June 30, 2024. See details in the “Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans” section of this MD&A. Net interest income for this segment decreased $26.0 million to $711.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the higher cost of funding and the inverted yield curve. Internal transfer expense also increased $30.3 million to $258.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. See further details in the “Non-Interest Income” and “Non-Interest Expense” sections of this MD&A.

The net interest margin for this segment decreased 24 basis points to 3.53 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 due to a 75 basis point increase in the cost of our funding sources, partially offset by a 51 basis point increase in yield on average loans.
The return on average interest earning assets before income taxes for the commercial banking segment was 1.44 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 2.36 percent for the same period in 2023.
Treasury and Corporate Other
Treasury and Corporate Other's average interest earning assets decreased $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a $1.3 billion decline in average interest bearing cash held overnight as our excess
69


liquidity returned to more normalized levels in 2024 after being elevated in response to the bank failures in most of 2023.
The loss before income taxes totaled $94.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $91.6 million for the same period in 2023. The $2.9 million increase in pre-tax loss was mainly driven by a decrease in net interest income on interest bearing deposits with banks combined with lower non-interest income. Non-interest expense increased $3.5 million to $445.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 largely due to a $13.1 million increase in the FDIC insurance assessment expense, partially offset by decreases in salary and employee benefits expense and professional and legal fees. See further details in the “Non-Interest Income” and “Non-Interest Expense” sections of this MD&A. The negative impact of these items was largely offset by higher internal transfer income and a decrease in the provision for credit losses. The internal transfer income increased $37.5 million to $321.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 due to higher allocations of the overhead expense to the Consumer Banking and Commercial Banking segments over the same period. Provision for credit losses decreased $4.8 million mostly due to credit related impairment of one corporate bond issued by Signature Bank during the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Treasury and Corporate Other's net interest margin decreased 67 basis points to 0.68 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 due to a 75 basis point increase in cost of our funding sources, partially offset by an 8 basis point increase in the yield on average investments. The increase in the yield on average investments as compared to the same period in 2023 was largely driven by new higher yielding investments and a reduction in premium amortization expense mostly caused by slower principal repayments in the elevated market interest rate environment.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Interest Rate Risk
Our success is largely dependent upon our ability to manage interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the exposure of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to the movement in interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for managing such risks and establishing policies that monitor and coordinate our sources and uses of funds. Asset/Liability management is a continuous process due to the constant change in interest rate risk factors. In assessing the appropriate interest rate risk levels for us, management weighs the potential benefit of each risk management activity within the desired parameters of liquidity, capital levels and management’s tolerance for exposure to income fluctuations. Many of the actions undertaken by management utilize fair value analysis and attempt to achieve consistent accounting and economic benefits for financial assets and their related funding sources. We have predominantly focused on managing our interest rate risk by attempting to match the inherent risk and cash flows of financial assets and liabilities. Specifically, management employs multiple risk management activities such as optimizing the level of new residential mortgage originations retained in our mortgage portfolio through increasing or decreasing loan sales in the secondary market, product pricing levels, the desired maturity levels for new originations, the composition levels of both our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, as well as several other risk management activities.
We use a simulation model to analyze net interest income sensitivity to movements in interest rates. The simulation model projects net interest income based on various interest rate scenarios over a 12-month period. The model is based on the actual maturity and re-pricing characteristics of rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The model incorporates certain assumptions which management believes to be reasonable regarding the impact of changing interest rates and the prepayment assumptions of certain assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024. The model assumes immediate changes in interest rates without any proactive change in the composition or size of the balance sheet, or other future actions that management might undertake to mitigate this risk. In the model, the forecasted shape of the yield curve remains static as of June 30, 2024. The impact of interest rate derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, is also included in the model.
70


Our simulation model is based on market interest rates and prepayment speeds prevalent in the market as of June 30, 2024. Although the size of Valley’s balance sheet is forecasted to remain static as of June 30, 2024, in our model, the composition is adjusted to reflect new interest earning assets and funding originations coupled with rate spreads utilizing our actual originations during the second quarter 2024. The model utilizes an immediate parallel shift in market interest rates at June 30, 2024.
The assumptions used in the net interest income simulation are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from those presented in the table below, due to the frequency and timing of changes in interest rates and changes in spreads between maturity and re-pricing categories. Overall, our net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and cash flows from our loan and investment portfolios. We actively manage these cash flows in conjunction with our liability mix, duration and interest rates to optimize the net interest income, while structuring the balance sheet in response to actual or potential changes in interest rates. Additionally, our net interest income is impacted by the level of competition within our marketplace. Competition can negatively impact the level of interest rates attainable on loans and increase the cost of deposits, which may result in downward pressure on our net interest margin in future periods. Other factors, including, but not limited to, the slope of the yield curve and projected cash flows will impact our net interest income results and may increase or decrease the level of asset sensitivity of our balance sheet.
Convexity is a measure of how the duration of a financial instrument changes as market interest rates change. Potential movements in the convexity of bonds held in our investment portfolio, as well as the duration of the loan portfolio may have a positive or negative impact on our net interest income in varying interest rate environments. As a result, the increase or decrease in forecasted net interest income may not have a linear relationship to the results reflected in the table below. Management cannot provide any assurance about the actual effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest income.
The following table reflects management’s expectations of the change in our net interest income over the next 12- month period considering the aforementioned assumptions. While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates was used in this simulation model, we believe that any actual shift in interest rates would likely be more gradual and would therefore have a more modest impact than shown in the table below.

As noted in the table above, a 100 basis point immediate decrease in interest rates combined with a static balance sheet where the size, mix, and proportions of assets and liabilities remain unchanged is projected to decrease net interest income over the next 12-month period by 3.63 percent. Management believes the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet remains within an expected tolerance range at June 30, 2024. However, the level of net interest income sensitivity may increase or decrease in the future as a result of several factors, including potential changes in our balance sheet strategies, the slope of the yield curve and projected cash flows.

Liquidity and Cash Requirements
Bank Liquidity
Liquidity measures Valley's ability to satisfy its current and future cash flow needs. Our objective is to have liquidity available to fulfill loan demands, repay deposits and other liabilities, and execute balance sheet strategies in all market conditions while adhering to internal controls and income targets. Valley's liquidity program is managed by the Treasury Department and routinely monitored by the Asset and Liability Management Committee and two board committees. Among other actions, the Treasury Department actively monitors Valley's current liquidity profile, sources and stability of funding, availability of assets for pledging or sale, opportunities to gather additional funds, and anticipated future funding needs, including the level of unfunded commitments.
The Bank adheres to certain internal liquidity measures including ratios of loans to deposits below 110 percent and wholesale funding to total funding below 25 percent, as summarized in the table below. Management maintains flexibility to temporarily exceed these thresholds in certain operating environments.
The following table presents Valley's loan to deposits and wholesale funding to total funding ratios at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
June 30,
2024		December 31,
2023
Loans to deposits100.4 %102.0 %
Wholesale funding to total funding22.6 19.5 
Valley's short and long-term cash requirements include contractual obligations under borrowings, deposits, payments related to leases, capital expenditures and other purchase commitments. In the ordinary course of operations, the Bank also enters into various financial obligations, including contractual obligations that may require future cash payments. Management believes the Bank has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of cash to meet its short-term and long-term obligations as they come due by utilizing various cash resources described below.
On the asset side of the balance sheet, the Bank has numerous sources of liquid funds in the form of cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks (including the FRB of New York) and other sources.
The following table summarizes Valley's sources of liquid assets:

(2)     Includes approximately $1.7 billion and $840.3 million of various investment securities that were pledged to counterparties to support our earning asset funding strategies at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Total liquid assets represented 6.1 percent and 4.3 percent of interest earning assets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
72


Other sources of funds on the asset side are derived from scheduled loan payments of principal and interest, as well as prepayments received. At June 30, 2024, estimated cash inflows from total loans are projected to be approximately $14.1 billion over the next 12-month period. As a contingency plan for any liquidity constraints, liquidity could also be derived from the sale of conforming residential mortgages from our loan portfolio or alleviated from the temporary curtailment of lending activities. We anticipate the receipt of approximately $432.0 million in principal payments from securities in the total investment portfolio at June 30, 2024 over the next 12-month period due to normally scheduled principal repayments and expected prepayments of certain securities, primarily residential mortgage-backed securities.
On the liability side of the balance sheet, we utilize multiple sources of funds to meet liquidity needs, including retail and commercial deposits, fully FDIC-insured indirect customer deposits, collateralized municipal deposits, and short-term and long-term borrowings. Our core deposit base, which generally excludes all fully insured indirect customer deposits, as well as retail certificates of deposit over $250 thousand, represents the largest of these sources. Average core deposits totaled approximately $40.2 billion and $37.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, representing 70.8 percent and 66.6 percent of average interest earning assets for the respective periods. The level of interest bearing deposits is affected by interest rates offered, which is often influenced by our need for funds, rates prevailing in the capital markets, competition, and the need to manage interest rate risk sensitivity.
In addition to customer deposits, the Bank has access to readily available borrowing sources to supplement its current and projected funding needs. The following table presents short-term borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Corporation Liquidity
Valley’s recurring cash requirements primarily consist of dividends to preferred and common shareholders and interest expense on subordinated notes and junior subordinated debentures issued to capital trusts. As part of our ongoing asset/liability management strategies, Valley could also use cash to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock under its share repurchase program or redeem its callable junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes. Valley's cash needs are routinely satisfied by dividends collected from the Bank. Projected cash flows from the Bank are expected to be adequate to pay preferred and common dividends, if declared, and interest expense payable to subordinated note holders and capital trusts, given the current capital levels and current profitable operations of the Bank. In addition to dividends received from the Bank, Valley can satisfy its cash requirements by utilizing its own cash and potential new funds borrowed from outside sources or capital issuances. Valley also has the right to defer interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures, and therefore distributions on its trust preferred securities for consecutive quarterly periods of up to five years, but not beyond the stated maturity dates, and subject to other conditions.
Investment Securities Portfolio
As of June 30, 2024, we had $69.1 million, $2.2 billion, and $3.7 billion in equity, AFS debt and HTM debt securities, respectively. We also had $4.0 million of trading securities consisting of U.S. Treasury securities at June 30, 2024. The AFS and HTM debt securities portfolios, which comprise the majority of the securities we own, include: U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, tax-exempt and taxable issuances of states and political subdivisions, residential mortgage-backed securities, single-issuer trust preferred securities principally issued by bank holding companies and high quality corporate bonds. Among other securities, our AFS debt securities include securities such as bank issued and other corporate bonds, as well as municipal special revenue bonds, which may pose a higher risk of future impairment charges to us as a result of the uncertain economic environment and its potential negative effect on the future performance of the security issuers. The equity securities consist of two publicly traded mutual funds, CRA investments and several other equity investments we have made in companies that develop new financial technologies and in partnerships that invest in such companies. Our CRA and other equity investments are a mix of both publicly traded entities and privately held entities.
The primary purpose of the HTM and AFS debt securities portfolios is to provide a source of earnings and liquidity, as well as serve as a tool for managing interest rate risk. The decision to purchase or sell securities is based upon the current assessment of long and short-term economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate environment and other components of statement of financial condition. See additional information under “Interest Rate Sensitivity,” “Liquidity and Cash Requirements” and “Capital Adequacy” sections elsewhere in this MD&A.
We continually evaluate our investment securities portfolio in response to established asset/liability management objectives, changing market conditions that could affect profitability, and the level of interest rate risk to which we are exposed. These evaluations may cause us to change the level of funds we deploy into investment securities, change the composition of our investment securities portfolio, and change the proportion of investments primarily made into the AFS and HTM debt securities portfolios.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Impairment Analysis
Available for sale debt securities. AFS debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. In assessing whether a credit loss exists, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are recorded through other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
We have evaluated all AFS debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and determined that the declines in fair value were mainly attributable to changes in market
74


volatility, due to factors such as interest rates and spread factors, but not attributable to credit quality or other factors. During the first quarter 2023, Valley recognized a credit related impairment of one corporate bond issued by Signature Bank resulting in both a provision for credit losses and full charge-off of the security totaling $5.0 million based on a comparison of the present value of expected cash flows to the amortized cost. The bond was subsequently sold and the sale resulted in a $869 thousand gain during the fourth quarter 2023. There was no other impairment recognized within the AFS debt securities portfolio during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.
Valley does not intend to sell any of its AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that Valley will not be required to sell any of its securities prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis. None of the AFS debt securities were past due as of June 30, 2024 and there was no allowance for credit losses for AFS debt securities at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Held to maturity debt securities. Valley estimates the expected credit losses on HTM debt securities that have loss expectations using a discounted cash flow model developed by a third party. Valley has a zero-loss expectation for certain securities within the HTM portfolio, including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency securities, residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and collateralized municipal bonds. To measure the expected credit losses on HTM debt securities that have loss expectations, we utilize a third party discounted cash flow model. The assumptions used in the model for pools of securities with common risk characteristics include the historical lifetime probability of default and severity of loss in the event of default, with the model incorporating several economic cycles of loss history data to calculate expected credit losses given default at the individual security level. HTM debt securities were carried net of an allowance for credit losses totaling approximately $1.1 million and $1.2 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Investment grades. The investment grades in the table below reflect the most current independent analysis performed by third parties of each security as of the date presented and not necessarily the investment grades at the date of our purchase of the securities. For many securities, the rating agencies may not have performed an independent analysis of the tranches owned by us, but rather an analysis of the entire investment pool. For this and other reasons, we believe the assigned investment grades may not accurately reflect the actual credit quality of each security and should not be viewed in isolation as a measure of the quality of our investment portfolio.

The unrealized losses in the AAA/AA/A rated categories of both the AFS and HTM debt securities portfolios (in the above table) were largely related to residential mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and continue to be driven by the higher market interest rate environment. The investment securities AFS and HTM portfolios included $135.4 million and $162.3 million, respectively, of investments not rated by the rating agencies with aggregate unrealized losses of $16.7 million and $13.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2024. The unrealized losses within non-rated AFS debt securities mostly related to several large corporate bonds negatively impacted by rising interest rates, and not changes in underlying credit. The unrealized losses within non-rated HTM debt securities mostly related to four single-issuer bank trust preferred issuances with a combined amortized cost of $36.1 million with $7.2 million gross unrealized losses and several corporate debt securities that were negatively impacted by rising interest rates, and not changes in their underlying credit.

(2)
Includes loans collateralized by properties that are greater than 50 percent rent regulated totaling approximately $528 million, $531 million and $545 million at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
(3)
Includes net unearned discount and deferred loan fees of $61.6 million, $71.8 million and $85.4 million at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Total loans increased $389.7 million, or 3.1 percent on an annualized basis, to $50.3 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly as a result of our focus on new commercial and industrial loan production during the second quarter 2024. Loans held for sale decreased $41.9 million to $19.9 million at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mostly due to the previously disclosed sale of $34.1 million of construction loans at par during April 2024. Loans held for sale are presented separately from total loans on the consolidated statements of financial condition totaling $19.9 million and $61.8 million at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Commercial and industrial loans increased $375.0 million to $9.5 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 mainly as a result of our focus on new loan production from specialized industries and organic loan growth during the second quarter 2024.
Commercial real estate loans (excluding construction loans) increased $74.2 million to $28.2 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 due, in part, to an increase in multifamily loans during the second quarter 2024 as a
77

result of the conversion to permanent financing of certain construction loans. During the second quarter 2024, we reassessed the loan classification of skilled nursing facility loans based on the qualifying criteria for owner occupied loans outlined in the applicable bank regulatory reporting guidance. As a result, we reclassified loans totaling approximately $1.1 billion from non-owner occupied to owner occupied loans at June 30, 2024 (as reflected in the table above). Overall, we continue to be selective in our organic commercial real estate loan originations, which primarily consist of loans to existing and other well-established clients within our markets of Florida, New Jersey, New York and Manhattan. The commercial real estate loan portfolio had a combined weighted average loan to value ratio of 57 percent and debt service coverage ratio of 1.64 at June 30, 2024. Commercial real estate collateralized by office buildings totaled approximately $3.3 billion at June 30, 2024 and remained relatively unchanged as compared to March 31, 2024. Our loans collateralized by office buildings had a combined weighted average loan to value rate of 55 percent and debt service coverage ratio of 1.63 at June 30, 2024.
Construction loans decreased $10.8 million to $3.5 billion at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 partly due to the migration of completed projects to both internal and external permanent financing and a low level of new advances on existing projects.
Residential mortgage loans totaled $5.6 billion at June 30, 2024 and only increased $8.8 million from March 31, 2024. New and refinanced residential mortgage loan originations totaled $135.4 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to $115.0 million and $188.0 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. During the second quarter 2024, we retained approximately 61.9 percent of the total residential mortgage originations in our held for investment loan portfolio. The volume of primarily new home loan applications remained relatively low in the early stages of the third quarter 2024 largely due to the higher level of mortgage interest rates which may continue to challenge our ability to grow this loan category.
Home equity loans increased $2.4 million to $566.5 million at June 30, 2024 compared to March 31, 2024 as new home equity loan originations and customer utilization of lines of credit remained challenged due to the unfavorable high interest rate environment.
Automobile loans increased by $62.3 million, or 14.7 percent on an annualized basis, to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 as application volume from our indirect auto dealer network remained strong during the second quarter 2024.
Other consumer loans decreased $122.2 million to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024, primarily due to the negative impact of high market interest rates on the demand and usage of collateralized personal lines of credit.
A significant part of our lending is in northern and central New Jersey, New York City, Long Island and Florida. To mitigate our geographic risks, we make efforts to maintain a diversified portfolio as to type of borrower and loan to guard against a potential downward turn in any one economic sector.
Looking forward to third quarter 2024 and beyond, we expect to remain highly selective on new loan originations and generally supportive of compelling projects led by our high quality and tenured customer base. We will continue to focus our new origination efforts on traditional commercial and industrial, owner-occupied real estate and healthcare and controlling non-owner occupied and multifamily originations in efforts to reduce our commercial real estate concentration level. For the second half of 2024, we currently expect low single digits annualized loan growth as compared to total loans of $50.3 billion at June 30, 2024.
Non-performing Assets
NPAs include non-accrual loans, OREO, and other repossessed assets (which primarily consist of automobiles and taxi medallions) at June 30, 2024. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they become past due in excess of 90 days as to payment of principal or interest. Exceptions to the non-accrual policy may be permitted if the loan is sufficiently collateralized and in the process of collection. OREO is acquired through foreclosure on
78

loans secured by land or real estate. OREO and other repossessed assets are reported at lower of cost or fair value, less estimated cost to sell.
Our NPAs increased $24.2 million to $312.9 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to higher non-accrual commercial real estate loan balances. NPAs as a percentage of total loans and NPAs totaled 0.62 percent and 0.58 percent at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively (as shown in the table below). We believe our total NPAs has remained relatively low as a percentage of the total loan portfolio and NPAs, which is reflective of our consistent approach to the loan underwriting criteria for both Valley originated loans and loans purchased from third parties. For additional details, see the “Credit quality indicators” section in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements.
Our lending strategy is based on underwriting standards designed to maintain high credit quality, and we remain optimistic regarding the overall future performance of our loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, most of our credit trends have remained generally stable, and the majority of our borrowers continued to demonstrate resilience despite the impact of higher borrowing costs, elevated inflation, labor costs and other factors. We continue to proactively monitor our commercial loans for potential negative trends/borrower weakness due to the current operating environment and internally risk rate them accordingly. However, management cannot provide assurance that the non-performing assets will not increase from the levels reported at June 30, 2024 due to the aforementioned or other factors potentially impacting our lending customers.

Loans 30 to 59 days past due decreased $851 thousand to $46.0 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to improved performance across the most loan categories, largely offset by higher personal lines of credit delinquencies within consumer loans.
Loans 60 to 89 days past due decreased $2.3 million to $11.9 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mostly due to a commercial real estate loan relationship totaling $3.7 million at March 31, 2024 that migrated from this past due category to non-accrual loans during the second quarter 2024.
80

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest increased $1.1 million to $14.5 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 largely due to one matured commercial real estate loan in the process of collection, partially offset by lower commercial and industrial delinquencies within the category. All loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest are well-secured and in the process of collection.
Non-accrual loans increased $16.0 million to $303.3 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to $287.3 million at March 31, 2024. Non-accrual commercial real estate loans increased $23.0 million to $123.0 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to two additional non-performing loan relationships totaling a combined $24.1 million which were placed on non-accrual status during the second quarter 2024. Non-accrual construction loans decreased $6.5 million to $45.4 million at June 30, 2024 as compared to March 31, 2024 mainly due to the repayment of one loan totaling $5.2 million during the second quarter 2024.
Non-performing taxi medallion loans included in non-accrual commercial and industrial loans totaled $52.6 million at June 30, 2024 and had related reserves of $28.0 million, or 53.3 percent of such loans, within the allowance for loan losses as compared to $53.0 million of loans with related reserves of $28.2 million at March 31, 2024. Potential further declines in the market valuation of taxi medallions and the current operating environment mainly within New York City may further negatively impact the performance of this portfolio.
OREO increased $8.0 million at June 30, 2024 from March 31, 2024 due to the foreclosure and transfer of two commercial real estate properties from the loan portfolio during the second quarter 2024. Residential mortgage and consumer loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings are in process totaled $3.5 million and $1.6 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Although the timing of collection is uncertain, management believes that the majority of the non-accrual loans at June 30, 2024, are well secured and largely collectable, based in part on our quarterly review of collateral dependent loans and the valuation of the underlying collateral, if applicable. Any estimated shortfall in the net realizable value for collateral dependent loans is charged-off when a loan is 90 or 120 days past due or sooner if it is probable that a loan may not be fully collectable. For performing non-accrual loans, the collateral valuation shortfall results in an allocation of specific reserves within our allowance for credit losses for loans.
Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans
The ACL for loans includes the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments. Under CECL, our methodology to establish the allowance for loan losses has two basic components: (i) a collective reserve component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share common risk characteristics and (ii) an individual reserve component for loans that do not share risk characteristics, consisting of collateral dependent loans. Valley also maintains a separate allowance for unfunded credit commitments mainly consisting of undisbursed non-cancellable lines of credit, new loan commitments and commercial standby letters of credit.
Valley estimates the collective ACL using a current expected credit losses methodology which is based on relevant information about historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the loan balances. In estimating the component of the allowance on a collective basis, we use a transition matrix model which calculates an expected life of loan loss percentage for each loan pool by generating probability of default and loss given default metrics. The metrics are based on the migration of loans within the commercial and industrial loan categories from performing to loss by credit quality rating or delinquency categories using historical life-of-loan analysis periods for each loan portfolio pool and the severity of loss based on the aggregate net lifetime losses. The model's expected losses based on loss history are adjusted for qualitative factors. Among other things, these adjustments include and account for differences in: (i) the impact of the reasonable and supportable economic forecast, relative probability weightings and reversion period, (ii) other asset specific risks to the extent that they do not exist in the historical loss information, and (iii) net expected recoveries of charged-off loan balances. These adjustments are based on qualitative factors not reflected in the quantitative model but are likely to impact the measurement of estimated credit losses. The expected lifetime loss rate is the life of loan loss percentage from the transition matrix model plus the impact of the adjustments for qualitative factors. The expected
81

credit losses are the product of multiplying the model’s expected lifetime loss rate by the exposure at default at period end on an undiscounted basis.
Valley utilizes a two-year reasonable and supportable forecast period followed by a one-year period over which estimated losses revert to historical loss experience for the remaining life of the loan on a straight-line basis. The forecasts consist of a multi-scenario economic forecast model to estimate future credit losses and are governed by a cross-functional committee. The committee meets each quarter to determine which economic scenarios developed by Moody's will be incorporated into the model, as well as the relative probability weightings of the selected scenarios, based upon all readily available information. The model projects economic variables under each scenario based on detailed statistical analyses. We have identified and selected key variables that most closely correlated to our historical credit performance, which include GDP, unemployment and the Case-Shiller Home Price Index.
At June 30, 2024, Valley maintained the majority of its probability weighting used in the economic forecast to the Moody’s Baseline scenario with less emphasis on the S-3 downside and S-1 upside scenarios. The probability weightings were unchanged from March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. At June 30, 2024, the standalone Moody's Baseline scenario reflected a more optimistic outlook as compared to March 31, 2024 in terms of most metrics highlighted below.
At June 30, 2024, the Moody's Baseline forecast included the following specific assumptions:
•GDP expansion of approximately 2.1 percent in the third quarter 2024;
•Unemployment of 4.0 percent in the second quarter 2024 and approximately 4.0 to 4.1 percent over the remainder of the forecast period ending in the second quarter 2026;
•Inflation continues to slow, but at a slower than expected rate. The inflation rate was at 3.3 percent in May 2024 and was mostly driven by an increased shelter inflation component; and
•The Federal Reserve continues to pause with the federal funds rate at 5.25 - 5.50 percent and two potential rate cuts totaling 0.50 percent during the remainder of 2024.

Net loan charge-offs totaled $36.8 million for the second quarter 2024 as compared to $23.6 million and $8.6 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. Gross loan charge-offs for the second quarter 2024 included (i) partial charge-offs totaling $20.6 million related to a single non-performing commercial real estate loan relationship and (ii) $11.0 million of partial loan charge-offs related to one commercial and industrial loan (with prior reserves within the allowance for loan losses totaling $8.0 million at March 31, 2024).
While the amount of net loan charge-offs (as presented in the above table) has increased in the second quarter 2024, the relatively low level of individual loan charge-offs has continued to trend within management's expectations for the credit quality of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2024.

Allowance for credit losses for loans as a % of total loans1.06 %0.98 %0.92 %
The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.06 percent at June 30, 2024 as compared to 0.98 percent and 0.92 percent at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. During the second quarter 2024, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $82.1 million as compared to $45.3 million and $6.3 million for the first quarter 2024 and second quarter 2023, respectively. The increase in the second quarter 2024 provision was mainly due to higher quantitative reserves allocated to commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loan growth, and additional specific reserves and charge-offs associated with the revaluation of collateral dependent commercial loans at June 30, 2024.
The allowance for unfunded credit commitments declined to $13.2 million at June 30, 2024 mainly due to a continued decline in the level of our commercial real estate loan commitments pipeline.
Our provision for credit losses could remain elevated during the remainder of 2024 due to several factors, including, but not limited to, the impact of future changes in (1) our economic outlook, (2) the overall performance of our loan portfolio, (3) potential downgrades in the internal risk classification of commercial loans and (4) the composition of our loan portfolio, including targeted growth in loan categories not secured by real estate such as commercial and industrial loans.
Capital Adequacy
A significant measure of the strength of a financial institution is its shareholders’ equity. At both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, shareholders' equity totaled approximately $6.7 billion which represented 10.9 percent and 11.0 percent of total assets, respectively.
85

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, total shareholders’ equity increased by approximately $36.3 million primarily due to the following:
•net income of $166.7 million, and
•a $7.5 million increase attributable to the effect of our stock incentive plan, partially offset by
•cash dividends declared on common and preferred stock totaling a combined $121.7 million, and
•other comprehensive loss of $16.2 million.
Valley and the Bank are subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Valley and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of common equity Tier 1 capital, total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets, as defined in the regulations.
Valley is required to maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5 percent, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 6.0 percent, ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0 percent, plus a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Valley and Valley National Bank exceeded all capital adequacy requirements (see table below).
For regulatory capital purposes, in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board’s final rule as of August 26, 2020, we deferred 100 percent of the CECL Day 1 impact to shareholders' equity plus 25 percent of the reserve build (i.e., provision for credit losses less net charge-offs) for a two-year period ending January 1, 2022. On January 1, 2022, the deferral amount totaling $47.3 million after-tax started to be phased-in by 25 percent and will increase 25 percent per year until fully phased-in on January 1, 2025. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $35.5 million of the $47.3 million deferral amount was recognized as a reduction to regulatory capital and, as a result, decreased our risk-based capital ratios by approximately 9 basis points.

The increases in the total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, and Tier 1 capital ratios at June 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 were largely due to the credit risk transfer transaction related to a portion of the automobile loan portfolio executed in June 2024. See the "Executive Summary" section for more details.
On August 5, 2024, Valley issued 6.0 million shares of its 8.250 percent Fixed Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, no par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $25 per share. Net proceeds to Valley after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses were $144.7 million and are expected to enhance our regulatory capital and ratios reported at September 30, 2024. Valley intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes and investments in Valley National Bank for future growth.

Typically, our primary source of capital growth is through retention of earnings. Our rate of earnings retention is derived by dividing undistributed earnings per common share by earnings (or net income available to common shareholders) per common share. Our retention ratio was approximately 29.0 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 53.7 percent for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decline in the retention ratio during the first half of 2024 was partly due to the increased provision for credit losses during the second quarter 2024.
Cash dividends declared amounted to $0.22 per common share for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Board is committed to examining and weighing relevant facts and considerations, including its commitment to shareholder value, each time it makes a cash dividend decision. The Federal Reserve has cautioned all bank holding companies about distributing dividends which may reduce the level of capital or not allow capital to grow considering the increased capital levels as required under the Basel III rules. Prior to the date of this filing, Valley has received no objection or adverse guidance from the Federal Reserve or the OCC regarding the current level of its quarterly common stock dividend. However, the Federal Reserve has reiterated its long-standing guidance in recent years that banking organizations should consult them before declaring dividends in excess of earnings for the corresponding quarter. The renewed guidance was largely due to the increased risk of the COVID-19 pandemic and other factors negatively impacting the future level of bank earnings. See Item 1A. Risk Factors of Valley's Annual Report for additional information.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations and Other Matters
For a discussion of Valley’s off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations see information included in Valley’s Annual Report in the MD&A section “Liquidity and Cash Requirements” and Notes 12 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, and commodity prices. Valley’s market risk is composed primarily of interest rate risk. See page 70 for a discussion of interest rate risk.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
(a) Disclosure control and procedures. Valley maintains disclosure controls and procedures which, consistent with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are defined to mean controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Valley files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and
88

to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to Valley’s management, including Valley’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Valley’s CEO and CFO, with the assistance of other members of Valley’s management, have evaluated the effectiveness of Valley’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, Valley’s CEO and CFO have concluded that Valley’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. Valley’s CEO and CFO have also concluded that there have not been any changes in Valley’s internal control over financial reporting in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Valley’s internal control over financial reporting.
Valley’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A system of internal control, no matter how well conceived and operated, provides reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system of internal control are met. The design of a system of internal control reflects resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Valley have been or will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of internal control is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such claims and legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on Valley’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of Valley’s Annual Report.
