WYOMISSING, PA / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2018 / Customers Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: CUBI), the parent company of Customers Bank (collectively "Customers"), reported net income to common shareholders of $2.4 million for Q3 2018, compared to $4.1 million for Q3 2017, a decrease of $1.7 million, and $20.0 million for Q2 2018, a decrease of $17.6 million. Fully diluted earnings per common share for Q3 2018 was $0.07, compared to $0.62 for Q2 2018 and $0.13 for Q3 2017. Both Q3 2018 and Q3 2017 included significant notable items.

"Customers Bancorp generated adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) of $20.1 million, or $0.62 per share, a year-over-year increase of approximately 29% in adjusted earnings per share. Earnings improved at both our Community Business Banking and BankMobile segments. We understand that our recent decision to retain BankMobile for 2-3 years due to unexpected regulatory complications caught some investors by surprise, but we continue to like the prospects of that business and are particularly excited about its new White Label partnership. We are also excited about our plans to strengthen the balance sheet, remix our assets and liabilities, widen our net interest margin, increase our ROAA, and build capital, which we outlined at our recent Analyst Day. On that last point, we expect to take a closer look at capital management options, given our expectation that our tangible common equity ratio will be about 7.5% by year-end, comfortably above our 7.0% target." stated Jay Sidhu, CEO and Chairman of Customers Bank.

Customers' Community Business Banking segment reported Q3 2018 net income to common shareholders of $8.3 million. Adjusted for losses on investment securities, the segment's adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) in Q3 2018 was $23.7 million, an increase of 14.8% from $20.6 million in Q3 2017.

Customers also reported net income to common shareholders of $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net income to common shareholders of $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Fully diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.33, compared to $1.42 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Adjusted for merger and acquisition related expenses and losses on investment securities adjusted net income available to common shareholders (a non-GAAP measure) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $61.5 million, a 14.0% increase compared to $54.0 million of adjusted income for the first nine months of 2017.

Strategic Priorities

Improve Profitability: we target a 2.75% NIM in 12-18 months and a 1.25% ROAA in 3-5 years

Customers targets an ROAA of 1.25% in the next 3-5 years. Customers expects to get there by improving net interest margin to 2.75%+ in 12 to 18 months (up from the prior target of 2.60% to 2.75% within a 1-2 year period), a focus on positive operating leverage and expense discipline, as well as eliminating the drag on profitability from BankMobile. Credit quality at Customers Bank is very strong, as measured by the low level of nonperforming loans (0.27% of total loans at September 30, 2018); Customers has always emphasized credit quality as its most important critical success factor.

  • Target ROAA in top quartile of peer group, which we expect will equate to a ratio of 1.25% or higher
  • Expect shift in asset and funding mix will drive a wider NIM to 2.75% or higher
  • BankMobile growth and maturity will enhance profitability; we expect BankMobile to be profitable by the end of 2019
  • Focused on expense control; we expect de minimus growth in most Community Business Banking segment expenses, and incremental spend in other areas driven by revenue growth
  • Opportunistically grow fee income. BankMobile's new White Label partnership will contribute to fee income growth

Grow CUBI Core Businesses, Stay Under $10 Billion, and Optimize Balance Sheet Mix

While Customers will remain relatively flat in terms of total assets, Customers is focused on growing its core businesses and most profitable assets and liabilities. Through favorable mix shifts in both assets and liabilities, Customers expects to improve the overall quality of its balance sheet and deposit franchise, expand its net interest margin, enhance liquidity and improve interest rate sensitivity.

  • Core Deposit Growth Strategy. Customers' deposit strategy factors in the total cost of deposits as the sum of operating and interest costs. Customers' branch lite model, with a focus on cost control, is reflected in dramatically lower operating expenses than the industry - operating expenses in the Community Business Banking segment were equal to 1.35% of average assets in Q3 2018, which Customers believes is at least 175 basis points lower than the industry overall. Core deposit growth is a strategic priority for Customers. In July 2018, Customers launched a new digital, on-line banking business with a goal of gathering retail deposits. As of September 30, 2018, this new business had generated $231 million in retail deposits. Year-to-date September 30, 2018, Customers reported 25% growth in total deposits, which included 38% growth in demand deposits, 19% growth in money market and savings accounts, and 26% growth in time deposits.
  • Funding Mix Strategy. Customers expects core deposit growth, including BankMobile's demand deposits, to replace higher cost funding. In October 2018, Customers used excess cash to repay $500 million of FHLB borrowings (and exited associated swaps), which had an effective cost of 2.85%. Customers currently has over $700 million of deposits with a cost of 2.5% or greater that it expects to run off and replace with lower cost funding.
  • Asset Mix Strategy. Customers expects to grow its higher yielding, core commercial and industrial lending business as well as consumer lending, while running off lower yielding multi-family loans. Year-over-year, core commercial and industrial loans, excluding commercial loans to mortgage companies, increased $233 million, or 15.0%, and consumer loans increased $111 million. Multi-family loans decreased $265 million and commercial non-owner-occupied real estate loans decreased $80.0 million. Customers expects to end 2018 with approximately $3.3 billion in multi-family loans.

Build and Deploy Capital

"We now target a minimum tangible common equity ratio of 7.0%. Given our balance sheet reduction and expected retained earnings, we expect to be comfortably above this level by December 31, 2018," Mr. Sidhu stated. "Capital ratios will continue to build in 2019 and beyond as we retain earnings and the balance sheet remains flat; hence, we are currently evaluating our options to deploy excess capital," concluded Mr. Sidhu.

The estimated total risk-based capital ratio was approximately 12.6% for Q3 2018, compared to 12.4% for Q3 2017. The estimated common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was approximately 8.7% for Q3 2018, compared to 8.3% for Q3 2017. The estimated Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was approximately 8.9% for Q3 2018, compared to 8.4% for Q3 2017. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 6.8% at September 30, 2018, compared to 6.5% at September 30, 2017, and Customers estimates that rate to be greater than 7.0% today.

Generate a Positive Contribution from BankMobile Segment to 2019 Earnings

BankMobile, a division of Customers Bank, operates a branchless digital bank offering very low cost banking services to approximately 1.0 million active deposit customers. On October 18, 2018, the agreement between Customers and Flagship, whereby Customers would spin-off BankMobile which would then be acquired by Flagship, was terminated. Customers currently expects to retain BankMobile for a 2-3 year period, but will regularly evaluate the best options for BankMobile. "While our strategy may have pivoted, we always believed in BankMobile's future and wanted a way for our shareholders to participate in that value creation. For the next 2-3 years, Customers' shareholders should enjoy the benefits of BankMobile's low cost deposit growth, which we expect to benefit our net interest margin and overall profitability," stated Sidhu.

BankMobile is expected to generate a positive contribution to Customers' earnings by the end of 2019, due in large part to expected core deposit growth from its recently announced White Label partnership. Demand deposits generated by the BankMobile business averaged $497 million for Q3 2018 with an average cost of 0.04%. BankMobile demand deposit balances were approximately $732 million at September 30, 2018.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income decreased $3.3 million, or 4.9% to $64.0 million in Q3 2018 from $67.3 million in Q2 2018 principally due to 15 basis points NIM compression which reflected seasonally lower balances in our high yielding mortgage warehouse business, lower prepayment fees, increases in cash balances late in the quarter, and higher deposit costs which enabled us to grow deposits by $1.2 billion in the quarter.

Q3 2018 prepayment fees totaled $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.9 million from Q2 2018, which reduced NIM by approximately 4 basis points.

Q3 2018 net interest income of $64.0 million decreased $4.0 million, or 5.9%, from net interest income in Q3 2017 as average interest earning assets decreased $33.5 million, and the Q3 2018 NIM narrowed by 15 basis points to 2.47%, reflecting factors discussed above. The 66 basis point increase in total cost of deposits and borrowings was mitigated by a 47 basis point increase in yield on interest earning assets, primarily due to increase in yield on our loans of 44 basis points; the yield on investment securities increased 43 basis points to 3.30%.

Total loans outstanding, including commercial loans held for sale, decreased $417 million, or 4.5%, to $8.8 billion as of September 30, 2018 compared to total loans of $9.2 billion as of September 30, 2017.

Compared to the year-ago period, commercial and industrial loans, excluding commercial loans to mortgage companies, increased $233 million to $1.8 billion, up 15.0%; multi-family loans decreased $265 million to $3.5 billion, or 7.0%; commercial non-owner-occupied real estate loans decreased $80.0 million to $1.2 billion; consumer loans increased $111 million to $645 million; and commercial loans to mortgage companies decreased $438 million to $1.6 billion.

Total deposits increased $917 million, or 12.1%, to $8.5 billion, compared to total deposits of $7.6 billion at September 30, 2017. Total demand deposit accounts increased $382 million to $2.2 billion, savings and money market deposits increased $442 million to $3.9 billion, and certificates of deposit accounts increased $93.0 million to $2.4 billion.

Provision and Credit

Customers' Q3 2018 provision for loan losses totaled $2.9 million compared to a provision expense of $2.4 million in Q3 2017 and a benefit of $0.8 million in Q2 2018. The Q3 2018 provision expense included $2.3 million for growth in the consumer loan portfolio and a $0.9 million increase for specifically identified loans, offset in part by a release of reserve of $0.2 million resulting from improved asset quality and lower incurred losses than previously estimated. Net charge-offs for Q3 2018 were $0.5 million, or 2 basis points of annualized net charge-offs to average loans. There were no significant changes in Customers' methodology for estimating the allowance for loan losses in Q3 2018 or during the past year.

Risk management is a critical component of how Customers creates long-term shareholder value, and Customers believes that asset quality is one of the most important risks in banking to be understood and managed. Customers believes that asset quality risks must be diligently addressed during good economic times with prudent underwriting standards so that when the economy deteriorates the bank's capital is sufficient to absorb all losses without threatening its ability to operate and serve its community and other constituents. "Customers' non-performing loans at September 30, 2018 were only 0.27% of total loans, compared to our peer group non-performing loans of approximately 0.78% in the most recent period available, and industry average non-performing loans of 1.21% in the most recent period available. Our expectation is superior asset quality performance in good times and in difficult years," said Mr. Sidhu.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $14.0 million in Q3 2018 to $2.1 million, compared to $16.1 million in Q2 2018. Q3 2018 included a loss on investment securities of $18.7 million from the sale of $495 million of lower yielding securities. Other non-interest revenues increased $3.6 million, driven by increases in income from commercial leases as well as a $2.8 million gain on discontinuing cash flow hedge accounting for three interest rate swaps, offset in part by a $1.2 million negative mark to market on an equity investment.

Non-interest income decreased $15.9 million in Q3 2018 to $2.1 million from $18.0 million in Q3 2017. Included in Q3 2018 non-interest income is the above mentioned $18.7 million loss on sale of lower yielding securities and $1.2 million negative mark to market on an equity investment, which were offset in part by a $2.8 million gain from discontinuing cash flow hedge accounting for three interest rate swaps, which Customers now believes are not needed due to strong core deposit growth. Also included within non-interest income for Q3 2018 was $1.2 million of debit and prepaid card interchange expense, which was recorded as a reduction to the gross amount of interchange and card revenue (which totaled $8.3 million without the effect of netting these expenses) as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard in Q1 2018. Prior to the adoption of the new standard, these expenses were included with non-interest expense and reported as technology, communications and bank operations expense. Included in Q3 2017 non-interest income was an $8.3 million impairment charge related to an equity investment and a $5.3 million gain on sale of investment securities.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses totaled $57.1 million, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 6.4% from Q3 2017. Included in Q3 2017 non-interest expenses was $2.8 million in catch-up depreciation and amortization for BankMobile assets that were previously classified as held for sale. Professional services for Q3 2018 totaled $4.7 million, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 35.9% from Q3 2017 as a result of ongoing efforts to manage expenses. These improvements to non-interest expense were partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in merger and acquisition related expenses due to the termination of the Flagship agreement and a $0.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Tax

We expect an effective tax rate of approximately 24% for the remainder of 2018.

Profitability and Book Value

Customers' return on average assets was 0.22% in Q3 2018 compared to 0.29% in Q3 2017, and its return on average common equity was 1.31% in Q3 2018 compared to 2.33% in Q3 2017. The adjusted return on average assets, which excludes the notable items described above (a non-GAAP measure) was 0.88% in Q3 2018 and the adjusted return on average common equity, which excludes the notable items described above (a non-GAAP measure) was 10.86% in Q3 2018.

The Q3 2018 efficiency ratio was 66.4% compared to the Q3 2017 efficiency ratio of 68.6%.

The book value and tangible book value (a non-GAAP measure) per common share increased to $23.27 and $22.74 per share, respectively, at September 30, 2018, reflecting a CAGR of 8.6% and 8.3% over the past five years, respectively.

BankMobile Segment

The BankMobile segment reported a pre-tax loss of $7.7 million in Q3 2018 compared to a pre-tax loss of $11.0 million for Q3 2017. Q3 2018 segment results included $3.9 million in fund transfer pricing revenues on its deposits, at an average rate of 3.10%. The BankMobile segment reported a net loss for Q3 2018 of $5.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. The segment's adjusted net loss to common shareholders (a non-GAAP measure) for Q3 2018 totaled $3.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Included in Q3 2018, was $2.9 million in merger and acquisition related charges. Included in Q3 2017 non-interest expenses of BankMobile was $2.8 million in "catch-up" depreciation and amortization for BankMobile assets that were previously classified as held for sale but reclassified as held for investment at the time Customers decided to spin-off the segment rather than sell the BankMobile segment.

Managing Commercial Real Estate Concentration Risks and Providing High Net Worth Families Loans for Their Multi-Family Holdings

Customers' total commercial real estate ("CRE") loan exposures subject to regulatory concentration guidelines of $4.7 billion as of September 30, 2018 included construction loans of $107 million, multi-family loans of $3.5 billion, and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans of $1.1 billion, which represent 388% of total risk-based capital on a combined basis, a reduction from 437% commercial real estate concentration as of September 30, 2017. Customers' loans subject to regulatory CRE concentration guidelines had 3-year cumulative growth of 37.1% in Q3 2018, a deceleration from 64.5% in Q3 2017. "In a flat curve environment, we will continue to deemphasize lower yielding multi-family loans and certain CRE loans," stated Mr. Sidhu.

Customers' loans collateralized by multi-family properties were approximately 40.0% of Customers' total loan portfolio and approximately 290% of total risk-based capital at September 30, 2018, down from approximately 41.1% and 327%, respectively, at September 30, 2017. Following are some key characteristics of Customers' multi-family loan portfolio:

  • Principally concentrated in New York City with an emphasis on properties subject to some type of rent control; and principally to high net worth families;
  • Average loan size is $6.7 million;
  • Median annual debt service coverage ratio is 136%;
  • Median loan-to-value for the portfolio is 65.8%;
  • All loans are individually stressed with an increase of 1% and 2% to the cap rate and an increase of 1.5% and 3% in loan interest rates;
  • All properties are inspected prior to a loan being granted and inspected thereafter on an annual basis by dedicated portfolio managers or outside inspectors; and
  • Credit approval process is independent of customer sales and portfolio management process.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - UNAUDITED

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Customers believes that the non-GAAP measurements disclosed within this document are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate our results of operations and financial condition relative to other financial institutions. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from corresponding GAAP measures the impact of certain elements that we do not believe are representative of our financial results, which we believe enhance an overall understanding of our performance. Investors should consider our performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance or financial condition. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures disclosed within this document.
