CEO Commentary
West Reading, PA, July 25, 2024 - "Customers Bancorp delivered another strong performance in the second quarter of 2024, continuing to deliver on our strategic priorities to grow our franchise value, our margins and our loans and low-cost deposits," said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO Jay Sidhu. "We are pleased to share that actions we took over the last six quarters have enabled us to exceed our 11.5% CET1 and 7.5% TCE / TA ratio* targets. We are now positioned for strategic, relationship-based loan and deposit growth as we demonstrated this quarter. We have strong momentum as we pursue phase two of our deposit transformation - remixing existing higher-cost business unit deposits*1 and brokered deposits into lower-cost and granular deposits. We had a robust pipeline within our existing businesses which has been materially enhanced by the 10 new banking teams that joined Customers in April. In the quarter, we utilized deposit growth from commercial customers of $0.6 billion and existing excess cash to runoff $0.5 billion of higher-cost consumer deposits and repay $0.3 billion in wholesale CDs. Business unit deposit*1 gross inflows were, once again, broad-based with more than 20 different channels increasing balances and roughly half contributing $25 million or more. Our 10 new deposit focused banking teams, with only two months of client activity, have opened more than 1,000 new deposit accounts for more than 700 customers in the quarter. Our deposit pipelines continue to grow with an extraordinary conversion ratio. Our net interest margin expanded by 19 basis points in the second quarter to 3.29% outpacing current industry trends. This expansion was a function of improvements in both the asset and liability components of the balance sheet. Capital levels continued to build as evidenced by a 40 basis point increase in our TCE / TA ratio*. In June, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program providing an additional capital deployment tool that can be utilized. Enhanced by the addition of our new banking teams, we believe we are extremely well-positioned to continue to strengthen our deposit franchise, improve our profitability, and maintain our already strong capital ratios," stated Jay Sidhu.
"Our Q2 2024 GAAP earnings were $54.3 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, and core earnings* were $48.6 million, or $1.49 per diluted share. At June 30, 2024, our deposit base was well diversified, with approximately 76%2 of total deposits insured. We maintain a strong liquidity position, with $8.3 billion of liquidity immediately available, which covers approximately 193% of uninsured deposits2 and our loan to deposit ratio was 77%. We continue to focus loan production where we have a holistic and primary relationship. Total loans and leases grew by $357.7 million driven by strong commercial loan growth of $396.1 million primarily in our Corporate and Specialized verticals. Our loan pipeline continued to build during the second quarter, and we remain confident in the 10% - 15% loan growth outlook previously provided. We continue to build liquidity and capital to support the needs of our customers. At June 30, 2024, we had $3.0 billion of cash on hand leading to prudent balance sheet and liquidity management. Asset quality remains strong with our NPA ratio at just 0.23% of total assets and reserve levels are robust at 280% of total non-performing loans at the end of Q2 2024. Our exposure to the higher risk commercial real estate office sector is minimal, representing approximately 1% of the loan portfolio. Continued execution on our strategic priorities has positioned us favorably for success in 2024 from a capital, credit, liquidity, interest rate risk and earnings perspective. We will remain disciplined, but opportunistic, with our balance sheet capacity to manage risk and maintain robust capital levels. Tangible Book Value per share* grew to $50.70. We are excited and optimistic about the opportunities we had in the first half of 2024, which have been enhanced by the addition of the new banking teams," Jay Sidhu continued.

Loans and Leases Held for Investment
Loans and leases held for investment were $13.3 billion at June 30, 2024, up $357.7 million, or 2.8%, from March 31, 2024. Specialized lending increased $424.3 million, or 8.3% quarter-over-quarter, to $5.5 billion. Mortgage finance loans increased $51.7 million, or 4.8% quarter-over-quarter due to higher seasonal mortgage activity. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans increased modestly by $20.5 million, or 1.7% to $1.2 billion. Multifamily loans decreased $56.3 million, or 2.7% to $2.1 billion. Construction loans decreased $22.2 million, or 12.0% to $163.4 million. Other commercial and industrial loans decreased $21.4 million, or 1.9% quarter-over-quarter, to $1.1 billion. Consumer installment loans held for investment decreased $35.9 million, or 4.5% quarter-over-quarter, to $756.7 million due to the continued build out of the held-for-sale strategy and de-risking of the held-for-investment loan portfolio.
Loans and leases held for investment of $13.3 billion at June 30, 2024 were down $575.9 million, or 4.2%, year-over-year, largely driven by reduced balances in consumer installment loans of $245.8 million, or 24.5% year-over-year, other commercial and industrial loans of $148.8 million, which included a decrease in PPP loans primarily from guarantee payments, multifamily loans of $84.4 million, construction loans of $48.8 million and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans of $36.3 million.

Over the last decade, the Bank has developed a suite of commercial loan products with one particularly important common denominator: relatively low credit risk assumption. The Bank's commercial and industrial ("C&I"), mortgage finance, corporate and specialized lending lines of business, and multifamily loans for example, are characterized by conservative underwriting standards and historically low loss rates. Because of this emphasis, the Bank's credit quality to date has been incredibly healthy despite an adverse economic environment. Maintaining strong asset quality also requires a highly active portfolio monitoring process. In addition to frequent client outreach and monitoring at the individual loan level, management employs a bottom-up data driven approach to analyze the commercial portfolio.
Total consumer installment loans held for investment at June 30, 2024 were less than 4% of total assets and approximately 6% of total loans and leases held for investment, and were supported by an allowance for credit losses of $49.8 million. At June 30, 2024, the consumer installment portfolio had the following characteristics: average original FICO score of 738, average debt-to-income of 20% and average borrower income of $106 thousand.
Non-performing loans at June 30, 2024 increased to 0.35% of total loans and leases, compared to 0.27% at March 31, 2024 and 0.20% at June 30, 2023. The $11.7 million increase in NPLs was primarily due to one multifamily credit and one commercial loan originated under the Federal Reserve's Main Street Lending Program moving to nonaccrual status.
Investment Securities
The investment securities portfolio, including debt securities classified as available for sale ("AFS") and held to maturity ("HTM") provides periodic cash flows through regular maturities and amortization, can be used as collateral to secure additional funding, and is an important component of the Bank's liquidity position.
The following table presents the composition of the investment securities portfolio as of the dates indicated:
(Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 June 30, 2023
Debt securities, available for sale $ 2,477,758 $ 2,571,139 $ 2,797,940
Equity securities 33,892 33,729 26,698
Investment securities, at fair value 2,511,650 2,604,868 2,824,638
Debt securities, held to maturity 962,799 1,032,037 1,258,560
Total investment securities portfolio $ 3,474,449 $ 3,636,905 $ 4,083,198
7

Customers' securities portfolio is highly liquid, short in duration, and high in yield. At June 30, 2024, the AFS debt securities portfolio had a spot yield of 5.19%, an effective duration of approximately 2.0 years, and approximately 33% are variable rate. Additionally, 63% of the AFS securities portfolio was AAA rated at June 30, 2024. During the quarter, approximately $220 million of mostly floating rate CLOs were sold and a similar amount of fixed rate agency securities were purchased, reducing asset sensitivity and increasing high quality liquid assets.
At June 30, 2024, the HTM debt securities portfolio represented only 4.6% of total assets at June 30, 2024, had a spot yield of 4.16% and an effective duration of approximately 3.1 years. Additionally, at June 30, 2024, approximately 43% of the HTM securities were AAA rated and 46% were credit enhanced asset backed securities with no current expectation of credit losses.
Deposits
The following table presents the composition of our deposit portfolio as of the dates indicated:
(Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2024 % of Total March 31, 2024 % of Total June 30, 2023 % of Total
Demand, non-interest bearing $ 4,474,862 25.3 % $ 4,688,880 26.1 % $ 4,490,198 25.0 %

Total deposits $ 17,678,093 100.0 % $ 17,961,383 100.0 % $ 17,950,431 100.0 %
Total deposits decreased $283.3 million, or 1.6%, to $17.7 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to the prior quarter. Savings deposits decreased $506.7 million, or 24.4%, to $1.6 billion and non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased $214.0 million, or 4.6%, to $4.5 billion. The decrease in savings deposits resulted from an intentional reduction in higher cost consumer deposits. These decreases were offset by increases in interest bearing demand deposits of $232.3 million, or 4.1%, to $5.9 billion, money market deposits of $192.0 million, or 5.7%, to $3.5 billion and time deposits of $13.2 million, or 0.6%, to $2.2 billion. The total average cost of deposits decreased by 5 basis points to 3.40% in Q2 2024 from 3.45% in the prior quarter driven by positive deposit mix shift. Total estimated uninsured deposits were $4.3 billion1, or 24% of total deposits (inclusive of accrued interest) at June 30, 2024. Customers is also highly focused on total deposits with contractual term to manage its liquidity profile and the funding of loans and securities.
Total deposits decreased $272.3 million, or 1.5%, to $17.7 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to a year ago. Time deposits decreased $2.7 billion, or 54.8% to $2.2 billion and non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased $15.3 million, or 0.3%, to $4.5 billion. These decreases were offset by increases in money market deposits of $1.5 billion, or 76.6%, to $3.5 billion, savings deposits of $525.4 million, or 50.1%, to $1.6 billion and interest bearing demand deposits of $343.0 million, or 6.2%, to $5.9 billion. The total average cost of deposits increased by 29 basis points to 3.40% in Q2 2024 from 3.11% in the prior year primarily due to higher market interest rates, offsetting a positive shift in deposit mix.
Borrowings
The following table presents the composition of our borrowings as of the dates indicated:
(Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2024 March 31, 2024 June 30, 2023

Total borrowings decreased $176.6 million, or 11.8%, to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to the prior quarter. This decrease primarily resulted from net repayments of $175.0 million in FHLB advances. As of June 30, 2024, Customers' immediately available borrowing capacity with the FRB and FHLB was approximately $7.6 billion, of which $1.0 billion of available capacity was utilized in borrowings and $1.4 billion was utilized to collateralize deposits.
Total borrowings decreased $1.0 billion, or 43.7%, to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2024 as compared to a year ago. This decrease primarily resulted from net repayments of $175.0 million, $340.0 million and $510.0 million in FHLB advances in Q2 2024, Q4 2023 and Q3 2023, respectively.

Key Profitability Trends
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $167.7 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $7.3 million from Q1 2024. This increase was due to higher interest income of $2.3 million primarily due to higher yielding loan growth and lower interest expense of $5.0 million due to the positive liability mix shift.
"We experienced an increase in net interest income in the second quarter by executing on the loan pipelines that were generated earlier in the year. These loan pipelines remain robust and we expect they will continue to drive interest income higher throughout 2024. Against industry trends, we reported lower interest expense for the third quarter in a row. Positive drivers remain that we expect to increase interest income and decrease interest expense which will benefit net interest income and net interest margin for the remainder of the year," stated Customers Bancorp President Sam Sidhu. "These positive drivers are bolstered by the recent team additions. Having personally completed more than 175 in person client meetings since the onboarding of our 10 new deposit-focused banking teams, it is clear we have the bankers, products and balance sheet strength to deliver for these clients. We expect the overwhelming majority of client prospects will become Customers Bank clients in the near future," stated Sam Sidhu.
Net interest income totaled $167.7 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $2.4 million from Q2 2023. This increase was due to higher interest income of $3.9 million primarily due to interest earning deposits from higher average balances and market interest rates, and lower interest expense from lower average balances of borrowings, offset in part by higher interest expense on deposits of $12.4 million primarily resulting from increased market interest rates.
Non-Interest Income
The following table presents details of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

Non-interest income totaled $31.0 million for Q2 2024, an increase of $9.8 million compared to Q1 2024. The increase was primarily due to $11.0 million of unrealized gain on equity method investments purchased at a discount in Q2 2024, partially offset by a decrease in death benefits paid by insurance carriers under bank-owned life insurance policies.
Non-interest income totaled $31.0 million for Q2 2024, an increase of $15.0 million compared to Q2 2023. The increase was primarily due to $11.0 million of unrealized gain on equity method investments purchased at a discount in Q2 2024, a loss of $5.0 million realized from the sale of non-strategic short-term syndicated capital call lines of credit within our specialized lending vertical that the Bank exited completely in Q2 2023, and increases in commercial lease income of $1.4 million and loan fees of $1.0 million resulting from increased servicing-related revenue and unused line of credit fees. These increases were partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in death benefits paid by insurance carriers under bank-owned life insurance policies.

Total non-interest expense $ 103,452 $ 99,169 $ 4,283 $ 103,452 $ 89,297 $ 14,155
Non-interest expenses totaled $103.5 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $4.3 million compared to Q1 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $8.9 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to addition of 10 new banking teams, higher incentives and severance, $3.8 million in other expenses, higher FDIC assessments and software expenditures. These increases were partially offset by $11.3 million of certain one-time items related to periods prior to 2024 that were recorded in Q1 2024 resulting to the net decrease in technology, communications and bank operations and FDIC assessments, non-income taxes and regulatory fees. Excluding the impact of certain one-time items related to periods prior to 2024, severance and the FDIC special assessment, adjusted core non-interest expenses* were $100.7 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $13.4 million, compared to $87.4 million in Q1 2024.
Non-interest expenses totaled $103.5 million in Q2 2024, an increase of $14.2 million compared to Q2 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $11.8 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to higher headcount including the addition of 10 new banking teams, annual merit increases, incentives and severance and $4.6 million in other expenses. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million in professional fees.
Taxes
Income tax expense increased by $3.4 million to $19.0 million in Q2 2024 from $15.7 million in Q1 2024 primarily due to higher pre-tax income.
Income tax expense decreased by $1.7 million to $19.0 million in Q2 2024 from $20.8 million in Q2 2023 primarily due to tax expense on surrendered bank-owned life insurance policies of $4.1 million in Q2 2023, partially offset by higher pre-tax income.
The effective tax rate for Q2 2024 was 24.7%.

Outlook
"Looking forward, our strategy remains unchanged. We are focused on strengthening our deposit franchise, further improving our profitability and maintaining our strong capital ratios. Our deposit pipelines are expected to continue to improve the quality and mix of deposits, reducing higher cost business unit deposits*1 with lower cost deposits where we have a holistic and primary relationship. The addition of the new banking teams is expected to accelerate and enhance these efforts which were already well underway. We see attractive opportunities to deploy cash and securities cash flows into franchise-enhancing loan growth and our pipeline is strong. We remain confident in our ability to deliver 10% - 15% loan growth for the full year. The management of non-interest expenses remains a priority for us. We expect the investments made in recruiting the new banking teams will produce significant benefits by increasing our net interest income and net interest margin primarily through lowering our interest expense costs as well as improving the overall quality of our deposit franchise. Operating efficiency has and will continue to be a differentiator of our business model, and we will continue to only make investments that generate long-term positive operating leverage and enable the organization to operate at a mid-40's efficiency ratio over the medium-term. We are adjusting our guidance on effective tax rate to 23% - 25% based on our growth in higher-tax jurisdictions. We remain committed to maintaining a CET 1 ratio around 11.5% and TCE / TA ratio* around 7.5% in 2024. We are highly focused on preserving superior credit quality, managing interest rate risk, maintaining robust liquidity, operating with higher capital ratios and generating positive operating leverage," concluded Sam Sidhu.

(3) Regulatory capital ratios are estimated for Q2 2024 and actual for the remaining periods. In accordance with regulatory capital rules, Customers elected to apply the CECL capital transition provisions which delayed the effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years until January 1, 2022, followed by a three-year transition period. The cumulative CECL capital transition impact as of December 31, 2021 which amounted to $61.6 million will be phased in at 25% per year beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, our regulatory capital ratios reflected 25%, or $15.4 million, benefit associated with the CECL transition provisions.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP MEASURES - UNAUDITED
We believe 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 our 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. The non-GAAP measures presented are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other financial institutions. 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.
