MIAMI LAKES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

"Despite the recent volatility in capital markets, we continue to see strength in our local economies. Consequently we remain optimistic about the rest of 2022 and continue to invest in and grow our core franchise -- one client at a time," said Rajinder Singh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported net income of $67.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared to $125.3 million or $1.41 per diluted share for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $98.8 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. As previously reported, earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 were impacted by discrete income tax benefits of $69.1 million and a $44.8 million pre-tax loss on discontinuance of hedges. Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were favorably impacted by a $28.0 million recovery of the provision for credit losses.

Quarterly Highlights

• Our new corporate banking office in Atlanta marks a renewed effort to expand outside of our core geographic markets of Florida and New York. We also expect to open a full service banking branch in the Dallas area in late April, 2022.

• In March, 2022 Newsweek named BankUnited one of America's most trusted companies. BankUnited was ranked #4 among banks on this list.

• The Company announced an increase of $0.02 in its cash dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, to $0.25 per common share, reflecting a 9% increase from the previous quarterly dividend of $0.23 per common share.

• The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, expanded to 2.50% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from 2.44% for the immediately preceding quarter and 2.39% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net interest income increased by $2.6 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2021 and by $12.4 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

• The average cost of total deposits was 0.17% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to 0.19% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 0.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. On a spot basis, the average annual percentage yield ("APY") on total deposits was 0.16% at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

• Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $688 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, non-interest bearing demand deposits represented 34% of total deposits, compared to 30% of total deposits at December 31, 2021. Total deposits declined by $897 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, with declines in interest bearing demand, savings and money market and time deposits.

• Total loans, excluding the runoff of PPP loans, declined by $227 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, while average loans, excluding PPP loans, increased by $586 million.

• The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans declined to 0.65% at March 31, 2022 from 0.87% at December 31, 2021. The guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status represented 0.18% of total loans at March 31, 2022. Criticized and classified loans continued to decline. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, total criticized and classified loans declined by $280 million.

• For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.8 million compared to a provision of $0.2 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2021 and a recovery of the provision for credit losses of $(28.0) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

• Results for the quarter were impacted by declines in the fair value of investment securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income declined by $142 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale. Non-interest income was impacted by a $10.5 million decline in the fair value of certain preferred stock investments. These declines in the fair value of securities resulted primarily from widening spreads and rising interest rates related to the Fed's plans for quantitative tightening and benchmark interest rate increases, as well as inflationary concerns. None of the unrealized losses were attributable to credit loss impairments; the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of its available for sale securities.

• At March 31, 2022, book value per common share and tangible book value per common share were $34.04 and $33.12, respectively.

• As previously reported, on February 2, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $150 million in shares of its outstanding common stock. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $82.1 million, at a weighted average price of $42.50 per share.

Residential and other consumer loans grew by $244 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Commercial and industrial loans, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, grew by $122 million for the quarter. Most of the remaining commercial portfolio segments showed declines for the quarter. MWL utilization declined to 39% at March 31, 2022 compared to 56% at December 31, 2021 as rising rates have led to lower refinancing activity and this segment is evidencing a return to historically normal seasonal utilization patterns. PPP loans declined by $168 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, resulting from full or partial forgiveness from the Small Business Administration.

Asset Quality and the Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL")

Non-performing loans totaled $150.8 million or 0.65% of total loans at March 31, 2022, compared to $205.9 million or 0.87% of total loans at December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans included $41.9 million and $46.1 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status, representing 0.18% of total loans at March 31, 2022 and 0.19% of total loans at December 31, 2021.

The following table presents criticized and classified commercial loans at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	March 31, 2022			December 31, 2021

The following table presents the ACL and related ACL coverage ratios at the dates indicated and net charge-off rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

	ACL			ACL to Total Loans (1)			ACL to Non- Performing Loans			Net Charge-offs to Average Loans(2)
December 31, 2021	$	126,457		0.53	%		61.41	%		0.29	%
March 31, 2022	$	125,443		0.54	%		83.17	%		0.15	%

______________________________
(1)		ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL, which carry nominal or no reserves, was 0.61% and 0.62% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(2)		Annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The ACL at March 31, 2022 represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses given our assessment of historical data, current conditions and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast as of the balance sheet date. The estimate was informed by Moody's economic scenarios published in March 2022, economic information provided by additional sources including developments subsequent to publishing of the scenarios, information about borrower financial condition and collateral values and other relevant information.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.8 million, which included a provision of $7.4 million related to funded loans and a $0.4 million provision related to unfunded loan commitments. The most significant factor impacting the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was an increase in qualitative loss factors related to economic uncertainty.

The following table summarizes the activity in the ACL for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022				2021
Beginning balance	$	126,457			$	257,323
Provision (recovery)		7,446				(26,306	)
Net charge-offs		(8,460	)			(10,083	)
Ending balance	$	125,443			$	220,934

Funding

Total deposits declined by $897 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The majority of deposit outflows were accounts that, based on prior experience, we would expect to be price sensitive in a rising rate environment. While we initially did not anticipate growth in the securities portfolio, total investment securities increased by $508 million for the quarter as we took advantage of opportunities to purchase securities at attractive spreads. Correspondingly, FHLB advances increased by $1.5 billion during the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $208.6 million compared to $206.0 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $196.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, increased by 0.06% to 2.50% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from 2.44% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2021. Factors impacting the net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 included:

• The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 1.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from 1.54% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This increase resulted from the impact of purchases of higher-yielding securities and the impact of slower prepayment speeds on securities purchased at a premium.

• The tax-equivalent yield on loans decreased to 3.36% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from 3.50% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Factors that contributed to the decline included slower prepayment speeds on PCD residential loans, the effect of the sale of a pool of higher yielding residential loans during the fourth quarter of 2021, and runoff of loans originated in a comparatively higher rate environment.

• The average rate paid on FHLB advances decreased to 1.11% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from 1.86% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This decrease resulted from the maturity of higher rate advances, including the termination of certain cash flow hedges during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and the addition of new advances at comparatively lower prevailing rates.

• The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from 0.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Callable and other brokered CDs and cash flow hedges entered into in anticipation of rising rates impacted the cost of deposits for the quarter; the average rate paid on interest bearing deposits excluding these instruments was 0.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in the average cost of time deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was attributable to these products. The average cost of time deposits other than these products was 0.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Non-interest income and Non-interest expense

Non-interest income totaled $14.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $45.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $30.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

• Gain (loss) on investment securities was a net loss of $(7.9) million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to net gains of $0.6 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was attributable to a $10.5 million decline in the fair value of certain preferred stock investments resulting from rising market interest rates.

• As previously disclosed, gain on sale of loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 included a gain of $18.2 million on the sale of a pool of residential mortgages.

• Other non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021 reflected declines in income related to investments in bank-owned life insurance, and as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, a decline in revenue related to our commercial derivative program.

Non-interest expense totaled $126.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $123.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and $187.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

• The most significant offsetting factors contributing to the increase in non-interest expense compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were (i) a $7.8 million increase in employee compensation and benefits and (ii) a $4.0 million decline in deposit insurance expense reflecting a decrease in the FDIC assessment rate.

• Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 included a $44.8 million loss on discontinuance of cash flow hedges. Employee compensation and benefits declined by $3.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The quarter ended December 31, 2021 included $6.8 million related to a special employee bonus.
