  • NIM (a non-GAAP measure) expanded 19 basis points from Q2 2019 to 2.83% in Q3 2019 and up 36 basis points over Q3 2018; this marks our fourth consecutive quarter of NIM expansion from the trough of 2.47% reported in Q3 2018.
  • The return on average assets ("ROAA") was 0.95% in Q3 2019, up significantly from 0.36% in Q2 2019 and 0.22% in Q3 2018. Core ROAA (a non-GAAP) measure was 0.94% in Q3 2019, up significantly from 0.61% in Q2 2019 and 0.88% in Q3 2018.
  • The return on average common equity ("ROCE") was 11.81% in Q3 2019, up significantly from 2.96% in Q2 2019 and 1.31% in Q3 2018. Core ROCE (a non-GAAP) measure was 11.59% in Q3 2019, up significantly from 6.31% in Q2 2019 and 10.86% in Q3 2018.
  • Total assets were $11.7 billion at September 30, 2019, compared to $11.2 billion at June 30, 2019 and $10.6 billion at September 30, 2018. However, average assets for Q3 2019 were $11.2 billion. Total asset growth at September 30, 2019 reflected a stronger than expected seasonal increase in mortgage warehouse loans outstanding due to higher refinancing activity resulting from a decline in market interest rates on mortgages.
  • Total deposits increased $412 million, or 4.8%, year-over-year, which included a $538 million, or 24.8%, increase in demand deposits. BankMobile's first White Label banking partnership deposit balances were approaching $70 million at September 30, 2019.
  • Loan mix improved year-over-year, as commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans, excluding commercial loans to mortgage companies, increased $470 million, or 26%. As planned, multi-family loans decreased $705 million, or 20%, year-over-year and were replaced by about an equal amount of consumer loans. Commercial loans to mortgage companies increased $975 million, or 62%, year-over-year.
  • Asset quality remains strong. Non-performing loans were only 0.17% of total loans and leases at September 30, 2019 and reserves equaled 290% of non-performing loans. Net charge-offs were only $1.8 million, or 7 basis points of average total loans and leases on an annualized basis, during Q3 2019.
  • Reflecting growth in loans, the provision for loan losses was $4.4 million in Q3 2019, compared to $5.3 million in Q2 2019 and $2.9 million in Q3 2018.
  • Q3 2019 book value per common share was $25.66 and tangible book value per common share (a non-GAAP measure) was $25.16. Tangible book value per common share has increased at a compound annual growth rate of 10.2% over the past five years.
  • Based on the October 17, 2019 closing price of $20.89, Customers Bancorp common equity is trading at 0.83x tangible book value of $25.16 (a non-GAAP measure) and 7.5x the 2020 consensus EPS estimate of $2.78.
  • On September 25, 2019, Customers Bancorp, Inc. issued $25 million of 5-year senior notes at a rate of 4.5%, the net proceeds of which were contributed to the Bank as Tier 1 capital.

Jay Sidhu, CEO and Chairman of Customers Bank stated, "We are pleased with our strong earnings growth, superior asset quality, strong control in expenses, and net interest margin expansion this quarter, a reflection of improved loan mix, core deposit growth, disciplined pricing strategy and absolute focus on efficiency improvement and risk management. We are also excited that BankMobile reached profitability in the third quarter and its White Label banking strategy has generated nearly $70 million of very low-cost deposits to Customers, a number that is expected to grow over time."

Looking Ahead to the Rest of 2019 and 2020

Mr. Sidhu continued, "Customers expects core earnings per share to exceed $2.20 in 2019, in line with our internal expectations and what we had previously disclosed. Customers is projecting core earnings per share of at least $3.00 for 2020 with continued improvement in all profitability metrics."

In spite of low rates and the flat to inverted yield curve, Customers continues to expect a full-year 2019 net interest margin above 2.70%, with further expansion expected in the fourth quarter from the 2.83% reported this quarter. Average interest earning assets for 2019 are expected to be roughly equal to 2018 average interest earning assets with total assets under $10 billion by year-end. Customers' balance sheet will naturally contract by December 31st given seasonality in the mortgage warehouse business and the planned sale and run-off of multi-family loans and some residential mortgage loans. Core non-interest income is expected to grow approximately 10% from 2018 and the core efficiency ratio for full-year 2019 is expected to be in the mid-60%s. C&I loans, excluding loans to mortgage companies, are expected to grow over $500 million in 2019. Including commercial loans to mortgage companies, C&I loans make up approximately 47% of total loans at September 30, 2019.

Strategic Priorities Articulated at Analyst Day in October 2018

Improve Profitability: Target a 2.75% NIM by Q4 2019 and a 1.25% Core ROAA in 2-3 years

As stated during our 2018 Analysts Day in October 2018, Customers expects to remain focused on growing its core businesses, while improving margins, capital and profitability. Through favorable mix shifts in both assets and liabilities, Customers improved the overall quality of its balance sheet and deposit franchise, expanded its net interest margin, enhanced liquidity and remains relatively neutral to interest rate changes. The strategies articulated at the 2018 Analysts Day in October 2018 and subsequent 2019 progress are summarized below:

  • Target ROAA in top quartile of peer group, which we expect will equate to a ratio of 1.25% or higher over the next 2-3 years. ROAA was 0.95% in Q3 2019, up significantly from Q2 2019 and Q3 2018.
  • Achieve NIM expansion to 2.75% or greater by Q4 2019, with a full year 2019 NIM above 2.70%, through an expected shift in asset and funding mix. Actual results are materially better. NIM expanded to 2.83% in Q3 2019 and further expansion is expected in fourth quarter 2019 ("Q4 2019"). Since Q3 2018, Customers effectively restructured its balance sheet resulting in NIM expansion of 36 basis points in just one year.
  • BankMobile growth and maturity was expected with profitability achieved by year end 2019. BankMobile reached profitability in Q3 2019 and is expected to remain profitable in Q4 2019 and in 2020.
  • Expense control; we expect very modest growth in most Customers Bank Business Banking segment expenses during 2019, and incremental spend in other areas will be driven by revenue growth or new business or technology initiatives at BankMobile. Customers' consolidated efficiency ratio was 61.58% in Q3 2019, down from 77.32% in Q2 2019 and 66.42% in Q3 2018. Q3 2019 total non-interest expense was up only 4% over Q3 2018 and was flat compared to Q2 2019.
  • Growth in core deposits and good quality higher-yielding loans. DDA's grew 24.8% year over year. Customers currently has $1.8 billion of loans with yields below 3.75% at September 30, 2019, of which $1.5 billion are multi-family loans. Over the next two years, we expect to run-off some of these lower-yielding multi-family loans and will replace them with higher-yielding interest earning assets. During Q4 2019, we plan to sell approximately $500 million of multi-family loans and expect run-off of $300 million or more.
  • Maintain strong credit quality and superior risk management. We do not see any material deterioration on the asset quality front in the foreseeable future. Reserves to NPLs at September 30, 2019 were 290%. The Bank is relatively neutral to interest rate changes at September 30, 2019.
  • Evaluate opportunities to redeem our preferred stock as it becomes callable. Redeeming all of the preferred stock as it becomes callable would result in an increase to our diluted earnings per share. Currently, the dividends paid to our preferred shareholders reduce diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.46 annually. Customers will continue to analyze the best ways to execute this over the next two years subject to liquidity and capital needs.

Focus on Capital Allocation

The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 6.7% at September 30, 2019, while the leverage ratio was 9.0%. Capital ratios declined in Q3 2019 largely due to the quarter-end spike in mortgage warehouse balances along with greater than expected seasonal balances but are expected to return to 2018 year-end levels by December 31st with the expected decline in total assets below $10 billion. "We anticipate having excess capital above our targeted minimum tangible common equity ratio of 7.0% at year-end, which gives us options," Sidhu stated. "As capital builds, we will evaluate the best uses for our excess capital, which may include calling our preferred equity as it becomes callable, starting in 2020," Sidhu continued. Customers raised $25 million in senior notes during Q3 2019, the net proceeds of which were contributed to the Bank as Tier 1 capital.

BankMobile Segment is Expected to Generate a Positive Earnings Contribution by Q4 2019

BankMobile, a division of Customers Bank, operates a branchless digital bank offering low cost banking services to over two million Americans, with over 1.0 million active deposit customers. Customers reported in Q4 2018 that it expects to retain BankMobile for a 2-3 year period, but will regularly evaluate the best options for BankMobile. "We expect to remain focused on this strategy in the foreseeable future," stated Sidhu.

BankMobile deposits averaged $529 million in Q3 2019, with an average cost of just 0.19%. The Q3 2019 segment earnings increased to $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million, or ($0.18) per diluted share in Q3 2018, principally due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by an increase in provision for loan losses and a legal reserve of $1.0 million in connection with the previously disclosed Department of Education matter. BankMobile Q3 2019 segment results also included $4.0 million of fraud related losses. The elevated level of fraud-related losses in Q3 2019 primarily resulted from an internet-based organized crime ring that was identified in Q3 2019 and ultimately mitigated through the implementation of "smart defenses" and other automated controls. BankMobile reached profitability one quarter earlier than expected and is expected to remain profitable in Q4 2019 and in 2020. "We are pleased to report that our college/student-related business is now profitable. We remain in the investment mode for our white label and other unique Banking as a Service ("BaaS") strategic opportunities for BankMobile," stated Luvleen Sidhu, President and Chief Strategy Officer of BankMobile.

On April 18, 2019, our White Label partner T-Mobile made a public announcement and began the first phase of launch of T-Mobile Money powered by BankMobile, a division of Customers Bank. The partnership has generated nearly $70 million in low cost deposits to date.

(3) Regulatory capital ratios are estimated for Q3 2019.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $75.7 million in Q3 2019, an increase of $11.1 million from Q2 2019, primarily due to a 19 basis point expansion of NIM and an $0.8 billion increase in average interest-earning assets. Compared to Q2 2019, total loan yields increased 17 basis points to 4.79%. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 3 basis points. Borrowing costs decreased 23 basis points to 2.86% due to two Federal Reserve interest rate cuts during Q3 2019.

Q3 2019 net interest income increased $11.7 million from Q3 2018, primarily due to 36 basis points of NIM expansion and a $0.3 billion increase in average interest-earning assets. Compared to Q3 2018, total loan yields increased 41 basis points to 4.79%. Total investment securities yields increased 30 basis points to 3.60%, mostly due to the sale of $495 million of lower-yielding securities in Q3 2018 and run-off of other lower-yielding securities. Given Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2018 and the associated increases in market interest rates, which were partially offset by two Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in Q3 2019, the cost of deposits and borrowings increased 20 basis points to 2.33% for Q3 2019, up from 2.13% for Q3 2018. We expect these funding costs to gradually decrease.

Total loans increased $1.5 billion, or 17.4%, to $10.3 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to the year-ago period. Mortgage warehouse loans increased $975 million to $2.5 billion; C&I loans increased $470 million to $2.3 billion; other consumer loans increased $592 million to $644 million; residential mortgages increased $121 million to $632 million; and commercial real estate non-owner-occupied loans increased $111 million to $1.3 billion. These increases were offset in part by a planned decrease in multi-family loans of $705 million, or 20.1%, to $2.8 billion.

Total deposits increased $412 million, or 4.8%, to $8.9 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to the year-ago period. Total demand deposits increased $538 million, or 24.8%, to $2.7 billion, certificates of deposit accounts increased $29 million, or 1.2%, to $2.4 billion, and savings deposits increased $316 million to $591 million. In July 2018, Customers launched a new digital, on-line savings banking product with a goal of gathering retail deposits. As of September 30, 2019, this new product generated $534 million in retail deposits, an increase of $55 million since June 30, 2019. Higher cost money market deposits decreased $471 million, or 12.8%, to $3.2 billion at September 30, 2019 compared to the year-ago period.

Provision, Credit Quality and Risk Management

The provision for loan losses totaled $4.4 million in Q3 2019, compared to $5.3 million in Q2 2019 and $2.9 million in Q3 2018. The Q3 2019 provision expense included $2.0 million for net loan growth in the other non multi-family portfolios (primarily C&I), $2.3 million for net growth in the other consumer loan portfolio, $0.8 million for manufactured housing loans, and $1.7 million for specifically identified loans. These increases were offset in part by a $2.4 million release for multi-family loans due to runoff and the effect of $0.5 billion of multi-family loans transferred to held for sale as a result of Customers' intent to sell these loans. Net charge-offs for Q3 2019 were $1.8 million, or 7 basis points of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or 3 basis points in Q2 2019, and $0.5 million, or 2 basis points in Q3 2018.

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, 2019 were only 0.17% of total loans and leases, compared to our peer group non-performing loans of approximately 0.71% in the most recent period available, and industry average non-performing loans of 1.07% 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 totaled $23.4 million in Q3 2019, an increase of $11.3 million compared to Q2 2019. The increase in non-interest income primarily reflected a $7.5 million loss recognized during Q2 2019 due to a shortfall in the fair value of interest-only GNMA securities acquired from a commercial mortgage warehouse customer that unexpectedly ceased operations in May 2019 and a $1.0 million gain realized from the sale of $95 million of corporate bonds during Q3 2019, along with increases of $1.7 million in unrealized gains from fair value adjustments on investment securities, $0.5 million in mortgage warehouse transactional fees, $0.4 million in commercial lease income, and $0.3 million in deposit fees. The increase in mortgage warehouse transaction fees primarily resulted from an increase in activity volumes coinciding with the decline in market interest rates for mortgages. The increase in commercial lease income primarily resulted from the continued growth of our Equipment Finance Group. The increase in interchange deposit fees primarily resulted from a seasonal increase in activity at BankMobile, coinciding with the beginning of the academic semester.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $59.6 million in both Q3 2019 and Q2 2019. The negligible increase in non-interest expense in Q3 2019 primarily resulted from increases in professional services of $2.6 million driven by costs incurred to support our White Label partnership and digital transformation efforts, provision for operating losses of $1.6 million stemming from an internet-based organized crime ring which targeted BankMobile checking accounts in Q3 2019, and legal reserve accruals totaling $2.0 million for Q3 2019 developments in the previously disclosed legal matters. These increases were almost entirely offset by a decrease in technology-related costs of $3.6 million primarily resulting from successful concentrated cost savings initiatives and a $2.6 million small bank assessment credit provided by the FDIC in Q3 2019 related to Customers' contributions to the growth of the FDIC's deposit insurance fund since July 2016.

Taxes

Customers' effective tax rate was 22.9% for Q3 2019, compared to 21.1% for Q2 2019 and 0.5% for Q3 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate from Q2 2019 and Q3 2018 was primarily driven by favorable return to provision adjustments recorded in Q2 2019 and Q3 2018. Customers expects the full-year 2019 effective tax rate to be approximately 22% to 24%.

Significantly Lowering Commercial Real Estate Concentration

Customers' total commercial real estate ("CRE") loan exposures subject to regulatory concentration guidelines of $4.1 billion as of September 30, 2019 included construction loans of $0.1 billion, multi-family loans of $2.8 billion, and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans of $1.2 billion, which represent 328% of total risk-based capital on a combined basis, a reduction from a 388% commercial real estate concentration as of September 30, 2018. Customers' loans subject to regulatory CRE concentration guidelines had a 3 year cumulative reduction of 4.4% in Q3 2019, a deceleration from cumulative growth of 37.1% a year ago.

Customers' loans collateralized by multi-family properties were approximately 27.2% of Customers' total loan portfolio and approximately 222% of total risk-based capital at September 30, 2019, down from approximately 40.0% and 291%, respectively, at September 30, 2018. 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;
  • Current average loan size is $6.9 million;
  • Current weighted average annual debt service coverage ratio is 1.53x;
  • Current weighted average loan-to-value for the portfolio is 61.0%;
  • 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.

(2) Includes owner occupied commercial real estate loans.

(3) Includes non-accrual loans, the effect of which is to reduce the yield earned on loans and leases, and deferred loan fees.

(4) Total costs of deposits (including interest bearing and non-interest bearing) were 1.82%, 1.85% and 1.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

(5) Non-GAAP tax-equivalent basis, using an estimated marginal tax rate of 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30 2018, presented to approximate interest income as a taxable asset. Management uses non-GAAP measures to present historical periods comparable to the current period presentation. In addition, management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers’ financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - UNAUDITED

Customers believes that the non-GAAP measurements disclosed within this document are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate our core results of operations and financial condition relative to other financial institutions. These non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Customers' industry. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude from corresponding GAAP measures the impact of certain elements that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing financial results, which we believe enhance an overall understanding of our performance and increases comparability of our period to period results. 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.
