Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Current report

We are focused on improving the Company's core profitability by emphasizing the following near-term strategic priorities:

Current report

To date, we have made notable progress executing on these near-team strategic priorities:

Current report

◦The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, expanded by 0.06%, to 2.78% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 2.72% for the immediately preceding three months ended June 30, 2024. The net interest margin was 2.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the net interest margin improved to 2.69% from 2.55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Current report

◦Average NIDDA remained relatively stable, declining by $64 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, consistent with the prior three months ended June 30, 2024 at 27% of average total deposits. Total deposits grew by $93 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. In part due to expected seasonal trends, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, NIDDA declined by $430 million and represented 27% of total deposits at September 30, 2024.

Current report

◦FHLB advances increased by $295 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024; this increase was related to intraday cash management activity and is also reflected in temporarily elevated cash balances. Brokered deposits grew by $303 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as we took advantage of favorable pricing in the brokered deposit market.

Current report

◦For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our CRE and C&I loan portfolios grew by $286 million while residential loans declined by $422 million and franchise, equipment and municipal finance declined by a combined$238 million, all reflective of our balance sheet repositioning strategy.

Current report

◦Total loans declined by $230 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The commercial real estate segment grew by $34 million while the C&I segment declined by $112 million, impacted by some unanticipated payoffs and strategic exits. Mortgage warehouse grew by $33 million. Consistent with our balance sheet strategy, the residential, franchise, equipment and municipal finance declined by a combined $185 million.

Current report

Hurricane Helene made landfall along Florida's "Big Bend" coast in September 2024, ultimately impacting parts of the Southeastern United States. The impact of Hurricane Helene on BankUnited's operations was not significant, and is not expected to be significant to our financial condition or results of operations.

Current report

Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key, Florida in October 2024, bringing heavy rain, hurricane or tropical storm force winds, storm surge and power outages to portions of the Florida peninsula. All of our branches and office locations have re-opened for business, and damage to our facilities from the storm was negligible. There were no significant impacts to banking operations. The Company had approximately $3.7 billion UPB, based on September 30, 2024 balances, of loans within a 34 county assessment area incorporating the direct path of Hurricane Milton and adjacent counties. Included in the $3.7 billion UPB of loans are approximately $200 million of residential loans, the substantial majority of which are government-insured and thus have zero expectation of credit losses. As of November 1, 2024, we have contacted the majority of borrowers with potential exposure in the commercial loan portfolio. No borrowers reported severe impact from the storm. In the commercial portfolio, borrowers representing approximately $122 million in UPB reported some impact on their properties or businesses. Of this, approximately $50 million reported mild or moderate impact, with the remaining $72 million reporting no damage. As of November 1, 2024, the Company had not received any requests for payment deferrals or other accommodations resulting from the storm. Although we are still in the process of finalizing our assessment, based on information collected to date, we do not expect the impact of the storm to be material to our financial condition, results of operations or to the ACL.

The increase was comprised of increases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $81.8 million and $64.3 million, respectively.

Current report

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase in qualitative overlays, changes in portfolio composition and characteristics, and updates to certain assumptions had the effect of increasing the provision, while the impact of improvements in the economic forecast partially offset that increase. For the nine month period, risk rating migration and an increase in specific reserve also contributed to the increase in the provision.

Current report

The majority of our commercial portfolio is subject to quarterly stress test analysis. We continually re-evaluate our stress testing framework and adapt it to evolving macro-economic conditions, as necessary. On an annual basis, we also run a rigorous stress test of our entire balance sheet incorporating the FRB's severely adverse CCAR scenario as well as additional idiosyncratic scenarios reflective of evolving macro-economic themes. The most recent stress test incorporating the FRB's CCAR severely adverse scenario was performed during the second quarter of 2024, based on the December 31, 2023 balance sheet.

Our investment strategy is focused on ensuring adequate liquidity, maintaining a suitable balance of high credit quality, diverse assets, managing interest rate risk, and generating acceptable returns given our established risk parameters. We have sought to maintain liquidity by investing a significant portion of the portfolio in high quality liquid securities including U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agency and sponsored enterprise securities. We have also invested in highly-rated structured products, including private-label commercial and residential MBS, collateralized loan obligations, single family real estate-backed securities and non-mortgage asset-backed securities that, while somewhat less liquid, are generally pledgeable at either the FHLB or the FRB and provide us with attractive yields. Investment grade municipal securities provide liquidity and attractive tax-equivalent yields. We remain committed to keeping the duration of our securities portfolio short; relatively short effective portfolio duration helps mitigate interest rate risk. Based on the Company’s assumptions, the effective duration of the investment portfolio was 1.83 years andthe estimated weighted average life of the portfolio was 5.4 yearsas of June 30, 2024.

We use third-party pricing services to assist us in estimating the fair value of investment securities. We perform a variety of procedures to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used by the pricing services including obtaining and reviewing written documentation of the methods and assumptions employed, conducting interviews with valuation desk personnel, and reviewing model results and detailed assumptions used to value selected securities as considered necessary. Our classification of prices within the fair value hierarchy is based on an evaluation of the nature of the significant assumptions impacting the valuation of each type of security in the portfolio. We have established a robust price challenge process that includes a review by our treasury front office of all prices provided on a quarterly basis. Any price evidencing unexpected quarter over quarter fluctuations or deviations from our expectations based on recent observed trading activity and other information available in the marketplace that would impact the value of the security is challenged. Responses to the price challenges, which generally include specific information about inputs and assumptions incorporated in the valuation and their sources, are reviewed in detail. If considered necessary to resolve any discrepancies, a price will be obtained from additional independent valuation sources. We do not typically adjust the prices provided, other than through this established challenge process. Our primary pricing services utilize observable inputs when available, and employ unobservable inputs and proprietary models only when observable inputs are not available. As a matter of course, the services validate prices by comparison to recent trading activity whenever such activity exists. Quotes obtained from the pricing services are typically non-binding.
