Income Statement and Key Ratios

Highlights

Strong Revenue Growth

Total revenues were $670.3 million for the quarter, up 20.1% compared to the third quarter a year ago.

Strong Net Interest Income Growth

Net interest income was $551.0 million for the quarter, up 19.6% compared to the third quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from growth in average earning assets.

Net Interest Margin

The Bank’s net interest margin was 3.09% for the third quarter, compared to 3.16% for the prior quarter. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily due to higher deposit and borrowing costs.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $119.3 million for the quarter, up 22.7% compared to the third quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily from growth in wealth management revenues.

Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio

Noninterest expense was $418.4 million for the quarter, up 23.9% compared to the third quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and benefits, information systems and other costs from the continued investments in the expansion of the franchise, including investments in Gradifi.

The efficiency ratio was 62.4% for the quarter, compared to 61.9% for the prior quarter and 60.5% for the third quarter a year ago.

Income Tax Rate

The Bank’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2017 was 17.3%, compared to 15.3% for the prior quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate during the quarter resulted from lower tax benefits from vesting of share-based awards.

Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “intends” and similar words or phrases and include statements about economic performance in our markets, growth in our loan originations and wealth management assets, our progress in preparing for, and our compliance with, any enhanced regulatory requirements, and our projected tax rate. Accordingly, these statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: significant competition to attract and retain banking and wealth management customers, from both traditional and nontraditional financial services and technology companies; our ability to recruit and retain key managers, employees and board members; the possibility of earthquakes and other natural disasters affecting the markets in which we operate; interest rate risk and credit risk; our ability to maintain and follow high underwriting standards; economic and market conditions affecting the valuation of our investment securities portfolio, which could result in other-than-temporary impairment if the general economy deteriorates, credit ratings decline, the financial condition of issuers deteriorates, interest rates increase or the liquidity for securities is limited; real estate prices generally and in our markets; our geographic and product concentrations; demand for our products and services; the regulatory environment in which we operate, our regulatory compliance and future regulatory requirements; the phase-in of the final capital rules regarding the Basel III framework, changes to the definitions and components of regulatory capital and a new approach for risk-weighted assets; legislative and regulatory actions affecting us and the financial services industry, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, including increased compliance costs, limitations on activities and requirements to hold additional capital; our ability to avoid litigation and its associated costs and liabilities; the impact of new accounting standards; future FDIC special assessments or changes to regular assessments; fraud, cybersecurity and privacy risks; and custom technology preferences of our customers and our ability to successfully execute on initiatives relating to enhancements of our technology infrastructure, including client-facing systems and applications.
