Share Repurchase Program
Current report
On July 25, 2024, BancShares announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) had authorized a share repurchase program, which will allow BancShares to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock in an aggregate amount up to $3.5 billion through 2025.
Current report
Under the newly authorized share repurchase program, shares of BancShares’ Class A common stock may be purchased from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including through a Rule 10b5-1 plan, but the Board’s action does not obligate BancShares to repurchase any minimum or particular number of shares, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time (subject to the terms of any Rule 10b5-1 plan in effect) without prior notice.
Current report
On June 20, 2024, the FDIC adopted a final rule to amend its Covered Insured Depository Institution rule (“CIDI Rule”). The CIDI Rule requires depository institutions insured by the FDIC with $50 billion or more in total consolidated assets to periodically submit resolution plans that will enable the FDIC as receiver to resolve the bank in the event of its insolvency under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. As a result of the final rule, among other things, we will be required to submit to the FDIC full resolution plans every three years and interim targeted information between full resolution plan submissions. In addition, the final rule introduces a new credibility standard that will be used to evaluate full resolution plan submissions, which would be subject to potential FDIC enforcement action. The final rule is effective beginning October 1, 2024 and we are continuing to evaluate the impact of this final rule.

Second Quarter Income Statement Highlights
Current report
◦The decreases were mainly due to a higher provision for credit losses as a result of a lower benefit for off-balance sheet credit exposure.
Current report
◦As further discussed below, other changes in net income included slightly higher net interest income (“NII”) and higher noninterest income, which were partially offset by higher noninterest expense.
Current report
◦Acquisition-related expenses of $44 million.
Current report
•NII for the current quarter was $1.82 billion, essentially flat compared to the linked quarter, mainly due to higher interest income on loans and investment securities, which were partially offset by lower interest income on interest-earning deposits at banks and higher interest expense on deposits. The increase in interest income on loans was mostly due to loan growth and higher yields, which was partially offset by lower loan accretion income.
Current report
•Provision for credit losses, which includes the provision for loan and lease losses and the benefit for off-balance sheet credit exposure, was $95 million in the current quarter compared to $64 million in the linked quarter. The $31 million increase was mainly related to a $29 million lower benefit for off-balance sheet credit exposure as the pace of decline for unfunded commitment volumes slowed relative to the linked quarter. Additionally, the provision for loan and lease losses increased $2 million as a result of higher net charge-offs, partially offset by a mix shift to the global fund banking portfolio, which has lower loss rates relative to our other loan portfolios, lower specific reserves for individually evaluated loans, consistent credit quality, and changes in the macroeconomic forecast.
Current report
•Noninterest income for the current quarter was $639 million, an increase of $12 million or 2% from $627 million for the linked quarter. Client investment fees increased by $4 million, which was related to higher average off-balance sheet client funds in the SVB Commercial segment. The remaining increases in noninterest income were spread across various items, including a $2 million improvement from the linked quarter for the fair value adjustment on marketable equity securities and a $2 million loss on extinguishment of debt incurred in the linked quarter.
Current report
•Noninterest expensefor the current quarter was $1.39 billion, an increase of $10 million or 1% from $1.38 billion for the linked quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of$15 million for maintenance and other operating lease expenses and $12 million for equipment expense, which were partially offset by a decrease of $14 million in acquisition-related expenses.
Current report
Year-to-Date Income Statement Highlights
Current report
•Net income for the current YTD was $1.44 billion, a decrease of $8.76 billion or 86% from $10.20 billion for the prior YTD. Net income available to common stockholders for the current YTD was $1.41 billion, a decrease of $8.76 billion from $10.17 billion for the prior YTD. Earnings per diluted common share for the current YTD was $96.80, a decrease from $699.53 for the prior YTD.
Current report
◦The decreases were mostly related to the SVBB Acquisition. Noninterest income was lower for the current YTD as the prior YTD included the gain on acquisition. This was partially offset by a lower provision for credit losses for the current YTD as the prior YTD included the provision for non-purchased credit deteriorated (“Non-PCD”) loans and leases and the unfunded commitments acquired in the SVBB Acquisition (collectively, the “day 2 provision for credit losses”).
Current report
◦As further discussed below, other changes in net income included higher NII, which was partially offset by higher noninterest expenses. Additionally, the acquired SVBB operations were reflected in earnings for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD.
Current report
•The current YTD included the following select items:
Current report
◦Acquisition-related expenses of $102 million, and
Current report
◦Additional FDIC insurance special assessment of $11 million.
Current report
•The prior YTD included the following select items:
Current report
◦Gain on acquisition of$9.88 billion for the SVBB Acquisition,
Current report
◦Day 2 provisions for credit losses of $716 million for the SVBB Acquisition, and
Current report
◦Acquisition-related expenses of$233 million.
Current report
•Return on average assets for the current YTD was 1.33% compared to 12.62% for the prior YTD.
Current report
•NII for the current YTD was $3.64 billion, an increase of $827 million or 29% from $2.81 billion for the prior YTD. The increase was primarily due to the acquired SVBB operations and loan accretion income being included for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD. Additionally, interest income increased in the current YTD due to higher interest income on loans and investment securities, which was partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings.
Current report
•NIM for the current YTD was 3.66%, a decrease of 21 bps from 3.87% for the prior YTD. The decreases in NIM from higher average balances of interest-bearing deposits and the Purchase Money Note and higher rates paid on deposits were partially offset by higher average balances and yields on loans and investment securities. NIM, excluding PAA, was 3.36% for the current YTD compared to 3.49% for the prior YTD. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this MD&A for a reconciliation from the most comparable GAAP measure to the non-GAAP measure.
Current report
•Provision for credit losses for the current YTD was $159 million, a decrease of $775 million from $934 million for the prior YTD. The decrease was primarily related to the day 2 provisions for credit losses of $716 million in the prior YTD, lower reserves for individually evaluated loans, and changes in the macroeconomic forecast.
Current report
•Noninterest income for the current YTD was $1.27 billion, a decrease of $9.65 billion from $10.92 billion for the prior YTD. The decrease was mostly due to the gain on acquisition of $9.88 billion in the prior YTD, partially offset by increases in various components of noninterest income, mostly because the acquired SVBB operations were reflected in earnings for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD.
Current report
•Noninterest expensefor the current YTD was $2.76 billion, an increase of $335 million or 14% from $2.43 billion. The increase was mostly due to the acquired SVBB operations being included for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD, including higher salaries and benefits, partially offset by lower acquisition-related expenses.
Current report
•Total depositsat June 30, 2024 were $151.08 billion, an increase of $5.23 billion or 4% from $145.85 billion at December 31, 2023 and an increase of $1.47 billion or 1% from $149.61 billion at March 31, 2024. The increase from December 31, 2023 reflected deposit growth in our Branch Network, the Direct Bank, and the SVB Commercial segment. The largest increase from March 31, 2024 reflected deposit growth in the SVB Commercial segment, which was mainly due to slight improvement in the macroeconomic environment and client acquisition.

Current report
◦Interest income earned on loans and leases for the current quarter was $2.42 billion, an increase of $68 million or 3% from $2.35 billion for the linked quarter. Loan growth and a higher yield led to an $86 million increase in loan interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $18 million in loan accretion income which was $145 million in the current quarter and $163 million in the linked quarter.
Current report
◦Interest income earned on investment securities for the current quarter was $327 million, an increase of $48 million or 17% from $279 million for the linked quarter. The increase reflected continued purchases of short duration agency mortgage-backed and U.S. Treasury investment securities, and to a lesser extent, higher yields on the more recently purchased investment securities.
Current report
NII and NIM - Current YTD compared to Prior YTD
Current report
•NII for the current YTD was $3.64 billion, an increase of $827 million or 29% from $2.81 billion for the prior YTD. The increase was primarily due to the acquired SVBB operations and loan accretion income being included for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD. Additionally, interest income increased in the current YTD due to higher interest income on loans and investment securities, which was partially offset by higher interest expense on deposits and borrowings.
Current report
◦Interest income on loans and leases for the current YTD was $4.78 billion, an increase of $1.41 billion or 42% from $3.37 billion for the prior YTD. The increase largely resulted from earning interest and accretion income on the acquired SVBB loans for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD. Loan accretion income was $308 million in the current YTD and $260 million in the prior YTD, an increase of $48 million. Additionally, organic loan growth at higher yields and the impact from floating-rate loan resets contributed to the increase in interest income on loans and leases.
Current report
◦Interest income on interest-earning deposits at banks for the current YTD was $826 million, an increase of $259 million or 46% from $567 million for the prior YTD. The increase mainly resulted from a higher average balance of interest-earning deposits at banks related to the SVBB Acquisition, which was partially offset by the purchases of investment securities discussed above.
Current report
◦Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits for the current YTD was $1.90 billion, an increase of $1.04 billion or 121% from $863 million for the prior YTD. The increase largely resulted from paying or accruing interest expense on the acquired SVBB deposits for the current YTD and the partial prior YTD. Organic interest-bearing deposit growth in our General Bank and SVB Commercial segments and higher rates paid on average interest-bearing deposits also significantly contributed to the increase.

Previous report
Although the U.S. economy continued to grow during the first quarter of 2024, economic uncertainty remains. The FOMC reported that it will continue to monitor economic and financial market developments and the effects of their earlier rate increases in determining the extent to which additional policy firming may be appropriate to return inflation to 2% over time. Although the FOMC has made progress combating inflation, efforts to control inflation have raised concerns over the possibility of a recession. In addition, concerns over domestic and global policy issues, trade policy in the U.S. and geopolitical events, including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, add to the global uncertainty and are likely to maintain upward pressure on inflation and weigh on economic activity. Mortgage rates have steadily increased over recent years, and mortgage demand from homebuyers has softened. In addition, there remains concern in the banking industry about the exposure to certain sectors of commercial real estate (“CRE”), and credit trends in these exposures may deteriorate. The timing and impact of inflation, volatility in the stock market, interest rate movements, and a possible recession will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

Previous report
Commercial Bank segment net income for the current quarter increased from the linked quarter, primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by higher noninterest expenses and lower noninterest income. Segment NII was relatively flat compared to the linked quarter as higher interest expense for deposits offset higher interest income from loan growth. The decline in the provision for credit losses was primarily due to a release in the ALLL in the current quarter as further discussed in the sections entitled “Provision for Credit Losses” and “Risk Management—Credit Risk—Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” in this MD&A. Noninterest income decreased, mostly due to lower capital market fees and factoring commissions.

Previous wording
The federal banking agencies issued several notices of proposed rulemaking (“NPR”) in 2023 that if and/or when finalized, may impact BancShares and FCB. The FDIC finalized an NPR covering a special assessment to recover losses associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank. We accrued a FDIC insurance special assessment charge of $64 million in 2023 that will be paid in eight quarterly installments beginning in 2024. In February 2024, the FDIC indicated that it expects a larger loss to the deposit insurance fund than originally estimated. As a result, we accrued an additional FDIC insurance special assessment charge of $9 million in the first quarter of 2024.
