1 Q1 2021 Earnings Highlights SVB Financial Group Q1 2021 CEO Letter April 22, 2021 To our Stakeholders: SVB’s first quarter of 2021 was the best in our history, with Earnings Per Share of $10.03, Net Income of $532 million and Return on Equity of 27 percent. Q1’21 highlights: Exceptional growth and profitability – best quarter on record Our quarterly results were marked by exceptional balance sheet growth due to continued robust client liquidity in the thriving innovation markets we serve. Period-end assets reached $142 billion, a 90% increase year-over-year; and total client funds reached $288 billion, a 71% year-over-year increase. Our exceptional balance sheet growth drove better-than-forecast quarterly net interest income of $665 million, despite the low rate environment. Our quarterly performance reflected average loan growth of 11% driven by sustained high levels of private equity investment and strong borrowing by technology and healthcare/life science companies. Credit metrics remained stable, excluding a loss related to potential fraud, and improving economic forecasts drove a reserve release. We had record warrant and investment gains of $364 million, net of non-controlling interests, from an acceleration of client IPOs and SPAC activity. Core fee income improved as record foreign exchange and higher card and deposit fee revenues offset the impact of low interest rates in client investment fees. SVB Leerink booked record quarterly revenues of $167 million, due to strong public market activity in healthcare and life sciences. Given our better-than forecast performance, expenses were higher than our previous Q1’21 guidance. Our capital and liquidity remained strong, and we have raised $2.4 billion of debt and equity through April 22, 2021, to support our increased growth momentum – as indicated in our improved 2021 outlook -- and accelerated investment in our business. Strong markets and effective execution are driving extraordinary growth Liquidity continues to flow into the innovation markets, due to robust venture capital and private equity activity, vibrant funding and exit markets, and the acceleration of digital adoption and activity in healthcare. We are executing strongly across the business and continue to gain new clients at a rapid pace, adding more than 1,600 new clients in Q1 (an all-time high). Through consistent focus on client engagement and deepening and expanding our solutions to better meet clients’ needs, we are growing and lengthening our client relationships. The investments we’ve made in people, technology and infrastructure have been essential to supporting and driving our growth, and the success of our strategy is evident in our exceptional balance sheet growth and peer-leading profitability.


 
2 Q1 2021 Earnings Highlights Robust tailwinds supporting the innovation economy Coming out of the first quarter of 2021, we see significant tailwinds for growth in the innovation economy. The outperformance of innovation companies relative to the broader economy is attracting strong new liquidity, on top of the already significant levels of venture capital and private equity dry powder available for investment globally. At the same time, the acceleration of digital adoption and healthcare activity is increasing the number of opportunities for deploying this liquidity. Although the positive momentum we’re seeing could be affected by a rise in COVID-19 infection rates or global economic or geopolitical events, given the substantial liquidity in our markets, current low interest rates and the expectation that short-term rates will remain low until at least 2023, we expect the innovation economy to continue to attract investment. Robust client funds growth over time Robust funding and exit trends have fueled client liquidity in the past year, while our business diversification, client engagement and client acquisition strategies have positioned us to capture this liquidity over time. The dynamism of the venture capital and private equity industries is essential to our growth, but our unique liquidity franchise and long-term momentum in the innovation economy have created a resilience in our client funds, which have typically grown strongly during times of peak VC and PE investment and recovered relatively quickly following periods of pullback. While the growth is significant, over time our business model has shown the increase in liquidity to be sustainable. That said, we are always mindful of the risk of deposit outflows and continue to manage our securities portfolio to support our liquidity needs. Active capital management Our exceptional balance sheet growth in the last two quarters has outpaced our forecasts and we have significantly raised our growth outlook as a result. Our high-quality balance sheet; off-balance sheet solutions; and robust and highly profitable earnings power have historically provided enough support for our capital and liquidity. While our risk-based capital ratios remain very healthy, in the first quarter, we raised $1.0 billion in common stock, $750 million in preferred stock and $500 million in senior notes and down-streamed $2.0 billion of the proceeds to Silicon Valley Bank. On April 14th, we issued an additional $150 million of common stock following the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Raising common equity raise provides high quality capital to support our growth and gives us additional capacity to utilize preferred equity and senior debt, as we have done previously, to support our growth. These issuances enable us to sustain our growth momentum, maintain our strong client acquisition and retention, and support our capital targets – particularly the tier 1 leverage ratio at the Bank. We have also taken actions, through the addition of $10 billion of receive floating interest rate swaps, to position the securities portfolio for higher rates, along with the designating $3 billion in investment securities from available-for-sale (AFS) to held-to-maturity (HTM). This also has the benefit of protecting tangible book value against fluctuations in other comprehensive income and provides additional balance sheet flexibility.


 
3 Q1 2021 Earnings Highlights We are focused on seizing the opportunity we see in our markets and expect to continue to optimize our capital composition as appropriate to support our current growth, drive future growth and advance our strategic priorities. Our vision: Be the most sought-after digital-age partner helping innovators, enterprises and investors move bold ideas forward fast Our long-term focus on a small number of dynamic markets has allowed us to develop differentiated expertise in working with our clients through challenging periods – providing tailored products, critical solutions, insights, and connections to accelerate their growth and increase the probability of their success. Over the years, we’ve built a network of relationships that would be difficult for any other company to replicate, and we have demonstrated our ability to stick with and provide value to our clients through good times and bad. Our unique platform and specialized approach have translated into deep relationships in a growing market that have driven strong levels of client liquidity and profitability. We are focused on deepening and expanding our platform, both organically and via strategic investments and acquisitions. Together, our four business lines (Silicon Valley Bank, SVB Private Bank, SVB Capital and SVB Leerink) form a powerful platform for increasing our clients’ probability of success and meeting their needs as they grow. We’ve recently made several key announcements to this end. In 2020, we acquired WestRiver Group’s debt investment business to establish a credit platform at SVB Capital that provides investors with additional investment opportunities in the innovation economy and commercial banking clients with new debt options. In January 2021, we announced our agreement to acquire Boston Private Financial Holdings, which we expect to close in mid-2021, subject to customary closing conditions. We expect this acquisition to significantly accelerate and scale the growth of our private bank and wealth management strategy, enabling us to capture a larger portion of this estimated $400 billion* opportunity among our clients. And we have recently made a significant number of strategic hires at SVB Leerink, to build or expand our equity capital markets, structured finance, leveraged finance and healthcare investment banking capabilities. Accelerating investments in our strategic priorities to extend our competitive advantage We are executing strongly on our vision to drive growth and profitability, without sacrificing our credit discipline and philosophy. We’ve supported these efforts by investing in our strategic priorities of enhancing client experience, improving employee enablement, driving revenue growth and enhancing risk management. Our investments have enabled us to accelerate our client acquisition by onboarding and delivering products more efficiently and deepen our client relationships by introducing products to better meet client needs at all life stages. They have also allowed us to develop or acquire critical leadership and skill sets that we need to expand our leadership position and continue growing. Investment in our strategic priorities is critical to our future growth, and we expect to continue expanding our business organically through geographic, client and product expansion, while pursuing * Estimated Total Client Position (TCP) of SVB’s current clients based SVB management estimates (2020). TCP includes potential wealth management assets, deposits and lending.


 
4 Q1 2021 Earnings Highlights opportunities to grow and differentiate our business through targeted acquisitions and the hiring of teams with special skills, if the right opportunities arise. We continue to actively identify and evaluate potential opportunities for targeted investment in key areas not already included in our outlook and any such investments could increase our expense outlook in 2021. In addition, we continue to invest in the enhancements to our regulatory infrastructure and processes as part of our Large Financial Institution compliance and UK subsidiarization. Overall stable credit metrics and improving macroeconomic environment We saw solid performance and stable credit across our client base during the quarter, despite an isolated charge-off related to a potential instance of client fraud. Positive underlying credit trends and improving macroeconomic forecasts drove a reserve release during the quarter. As of March 31, 2021, only 1.3% of our loans remained in deferral and we have seen most clients resume payments with very few extension requests. In late February, we identified and disclosed potentially fraudulent client activity in connection with a single loan in our Global Fund Banking portfolio. This activity resulted in a pre-tax charge-off of $80 million ($59 million net of tax) in the first quarter. Based on our review of the loan in question and our overall portfolio, we believe this was an isolated incident in approximately 30 years of pristine credit quality in this portfolio. We have a long history of strong underwriting and diligence that has served us well, and we remain focused on training and awareness to prevent similar occurrences in the future. We are maintaining our positive expectations for credit in 2021. Should market conditions deteriorate, we believe we are strongly reserved to manage that change. Diversified earnings power Our robust balance sheet growth continued to offset the impact of low rates in the first quarter to drive strong net interest income of $665 million. In addition, our efforts to diversify our business lines, deepen our client relationships, and grow internationally generated strong non-interest income. Well-positioned for rising rates We continue to take a proactive approach to interest rate risk management. In recent years, we have successfully deployed strategies to provide protection against low rates – including receive-fixed interest rate swaps and loan floors – that have helped to sustain our net interest income. As the economic environment continues to evolve, we are well-positioned for rising rates, with an asset-sensitive balance sheet. More than 90 percent of our loans are tied to short-term rates and two thirds of our deposits are non-interest bearing. We also have approximately $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion in securities rolling off our investment portfolio each quarter and we will take advantage of opportunities to deploy liquidity at higher rates. While our asset sensitivity calculations are based on a static model, we expect robust balance sheet growth in 2021, which we will magnify the positive impact of our asset sensitivity and provide meaningful NII upside.


 
5 Q1 2021 Earnings Highlights Our off-balance sheet funds are also growing rapidly and, although they are not as sensitive to short- term rate increases, even modest spread improvements on these large volumes can drive significant fee income increases. These increases are not reflected in our asset-sensitivity analysis. Finally, as our view shifts from protecting against lower rates to managing to a potential higher rate environment, we have implemented new strategies to mitigate “other comprehensive income” risk as long-term rates rise, including shortening the duration of our securities purchases, transferring investments designated as AFS to HTM, and putting in place $10 billion of fair value hedges, representing 38% of our AFS portfolio. We are targeting a duration of <2 years in the AFS portfolio to maintain balance sheet flexibility, and we are opportunistically buying strong credit-quality municipal and corporate bonds. Improving Outlook and Final Thoughts Our excellent performance in the first quarter and the incredible momentum we’re seeing in our markets has improved our expectations for balance sheet and revenue growth for the full-year 2021. While a rise in COVID-19 infections, or negative global economic or geopolitical events could, of course, change our outlook, the current strong tailwinds, ample liquidity, and meaningful opportunity we’re seeing in the innovation economy make us optimistic, and we further expect our growth to be underpinned by continued stable credit quality, assuming no deterioration in economic forecasts. Importantly, we plan to support our accelerated growth through increased investment in our strategic priorities, extending our competitive advantage, and continued enhancement of our infrastructure to enable our growth and meet increasing regulatory requirements. We may also make opportunistic investments that are not reflected in our current guidance. We continue to perform well and are operating from a stronger position than at any other time in our history. We are executing on our strategic vision, advancing and expanding our platform, and further strengthening our position as the best and most valuable partner to innovators and investors in the most dynamic segment of the global economy. We have a world class team to help us realize our vision and we are honored to have our clients’ trust and partnership as we work together to help them realize theirs.

Glossary Q1 2021 Financial Highlights 50 The following terms are used throughout this presentation to refer to certain SVB-specific metrics: Non-GAAP Measures (Please see “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our Q1 2021 Earnings Release and non-GAAP reconciliations at the end of this presentation) Core Fee Income – Fees from letters of credit, client investments, credit cards, deposit service charges, foreign exchange and lending-related fees, in aggregate. Core Fee Income plus SVB Leerink Revenue – Core fee income, from above, plus investment banking revenue and commissions. SVB Leerink Revenue and Expenses – SVB Leerink revenue defined as investment banking revenue and commissions and excludes other income earned by SVB Leerink. SVB Leerink expenses represents all SVB Leerink operating and acquisition related expenses. Core Operating Efficiency Ratio – Calculated by dividing noninterest expense after adjusting for noninterest expense from SVB Leerink and NCI by total revenue, after adjusting for gains or losses on investment securities and equity warrant assets, SVB Leerink revenue and NCI. This ratio excludes income and expenses related to SVB Leerink and certain financial items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control. Gains (losses) on Investment Securities, Net of Non-Controlling Interests – Net gains on investment securities include gains and losses from our non-marketable and other equity securities, which include public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, gains and losses from sales of our Available-For-Sale debt securities portfolio, when applicable, and carried interest. This measure excludes amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests for which we effectively do not receive the economic benefit or cost. Note regarding Q1’21 expectations presented and non-GAAP measures – Non-GAAP Core Fee Income and SVB Leerink Revenue collectively represent noninterest income, but exclude certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control. Non-GAAP Noninterest Expense represents noninterest expense, but excludes expenses attributable to noncontrolling interests. As we are unable to quantify such line items that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure for the future period presented without unreasonable efforts, no reconciliation for the outlook of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures for Q1’21 is included in this presentation, as we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. Other Measures Total Client Funds – The sum of on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds. Fixed Income Securities – Available-for-sale ("AFS") and held-to-maturity ("HTM") securities held on the balance sheet.


 
Acronyms and abbreviations Q1 2021 Financial Highlights 51 LTV – Loan-to-value LS – Life science M&A – Merger & acquisition MBS – Mortgage-backed security Munis – Municipal bonds NCI – Non-controlling interests NCO – Net charge-off NII – Net interest income NIM – Net interest margin NPL – Non-performing loan OBS – Off-balance sheet OCI – Other comprehensive income PE – Private equity QoQ – Quarter over quarter Repo – Repurchase agreement RMBS – Residential mortgage-backed security ROE – Return on equity SEC – Securities & Exchange Commission SBA PPP – Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program SPAC – Special purpose acquisition company TBV – Tangible book value TCP – Total client position Tech – Technology VC – Venture capital YoY – Year over year YTD – Year to date ACL – Allowance for credit losses AFS – Available-for-sale API – Application programming interface AUM – Assets under management Bp – Basis point BD&T – Business development & travel CAGR – Compound annual growth rate CFD – Cash-flow dependent CMO – Collateralized mortgage obligation CMBS – Commercial mortgage-backed security Corp Fin – Corporate Finance DEI – Diversity, equity and inclusion Dep – Dependent EOP – End of period Ex – Excluding EPS – Earnings per share FHLB – Federal Home Loan Bank FRB – Federal Reserve Board FTE – Full-time employee FX – Foreign exchange GFB – Global Fund Banking HC – Healthcare HNW/UHNW – High net worth, ultra high net worth HTM – Held-to-maturity ID – Investor dependent LIHTC – Low income housing tax credit funds LOC – Letter of credit

Important information regarding forward-looking statements and use of non-GAAP financial measures The Company’s financial results for 2020 reflected in this presentation are unaudited. This document should be read in conjunction with the Company’s SEC filings. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “becoming,” “may,” “will,” “should,” "could," "would," “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “seek,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” the negative of such words, or comparable terminology. In this presentation, we make forward-looking statements discussing management’s expectations about, among other things: economic conditions; the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; opportunities in the market; outlook on our clients' performance; our financial, credit, and business performance, including potential investment gains, loan growth, loan mix, loan yields, credit quality, deposits, noninterest income, and expense levels; financial results; and the proposed acquisition of Boston Private. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we have based these expectations on our current beliefs as well as our assumptions, and such expectations may prove to be incorrect. We wish to caution you that such statements are just predictions and actual events or results may differ materially, due to changes in economic, business and regulatory factors and trends. Our actual results of operations and financial performance could differ significantly from those expressed in or implied by our management’s forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ from the expectations stated in the forward-looking statements include, among others: market and economic conditions (including the general condition of the capital and equity markets, and IPO, M&A and financing activity levels) and the associated impact on us (including effects on client demand for our commercial and investment banking and other financial services, as well as on the valuations of our investments); the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate; the impact of changes in the U.S. presidential administration and the U.S. Congress on the economic environment, capital markets and regulatory landscape, including monetary, tax and other trade policies; changes in the volume and credit quality of our loans as well as volatility of our levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs; the impact of changes in interest rates or market levels or factors affecting or affected by them, especially on our loan and investment portfolios; changes in the levels of our loans, deposits and client investment fund balances; changes in the performance or equity valuations of funds or companies in which we have invested or hold derivative instruments or equity warrant assets; variations from our expectations as to factors impacting our cost structure; changes in our assessment of the creditworthiness or liquidity of our clients or unanticipated effects of credit concentration risks which create or exacerbate deterioration of such creditworthiness or liquidity; variations from our expectations as to factors impacting the timing and level of employee share-based transactions; an inability to complete the acquisition of Boston Private, or changes in the currently anticipated timeframe, terms or manner of such acquisition; greater than expected costs or other difficulties related to the integration of our business and that of Boston Private; variations from our expectations as to the amount and timing of business opportunities, growth prospects and cost savings associated with completing the acquisition of Boston Private; unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings/claims or regulatory/governmental actions; variations from our expectations as to factors impacting our estimate of our full-year effective tax rate; changes in applicable accounting standards and tax laws; and regulatory or legal changes or their impact on us. The COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, operations, financial performance and prospects. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, it is possible that the U.S. and other major economies experience or continue to experience a prolonged recession, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial performance and prospects. Statements about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impacts may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and us. We refer you to the documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including (i) our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, (ii) our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (iii) our most recent earnings release filed on Form 8-K. These documents contain and identify important risk factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or other forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this presentation are made only as of the date of this presentation. We assume no obligation and do not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, except as required by law. This presentation shall not constitute an offer or solicitation in connection with any securities. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial disclosures that are presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance (including, but not limited to, non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue and expenses, non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, non-GAAP non-marketable and other equity securities, non-GAAP noninterest expense and non- GAAP financial ratios) of financial performance. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by: (i) excluding amounts attributable to non-controlling interests for which we effectively do not receive the economic benefit or cost of, where indicated, or (ii) providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Under the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section in our latest earnings release filed as an exhibit to our Form 8-K on April 22, 2021, we have provided reconciliations of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure. Please refer to that section of the earnings release for more information. Q1 2021 Financial Highlights 55
