CEO Commentary

“We are pleased to share our first quarter results that highlight the company’s continuing incredible deposit transformation and underscore our success in growing franchise value. Though there is currently a high degree of economic uncertainty and volatility in the macro environment, we believe that Customers’ differentiated business model positions us well to navigate these challenges while we remain flexible and responsive to changes in the external environment. And importantly, with our customer-centric mindset and commitment to service provided by our extraordinary colleagues, we are here to serve our clients as the business environment continues to evolve,” said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO Jay Sidhu.

“In the first quarter, we once again demonstrated the power of our deposit remix efforts. The impact can be seen in a 24 basis points lower average cost of interest bearing deposits in Q1 2025 compared to last quarter as we continue to improve the quality of our deposit franchise. Non-interest bearing deposits remained at a healthy level of 29.3% of total deposits. As a result of these efforts we had a 25 basis point reduction in our total cost of deposits during the quarter.

“Our deposit pipelines continue to expand with a significant conversion ratio. In addition, deposit focused teams we have recruited since March 2023 managed $2.1 billion or 11% of total deposits. Enhanced by their efforts, we’ve increased commercial deposit accounts by 53% since year end 2022, adding granular and sticky relationships while significantly lowering our cost of deposits, increasing our non-interest bearing deposits, and driving franchise value. We believe the company is extremely well-positioned to continue to strengthen our deposit franchise, improve our profitability, and maintain our already strong capital ratios,” stated Jay Sidhu.

“Our Q1 2025 GAAP earnings were $9.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, and core earnings* were $50.0 million, or $1.54 per diluted share. First quarter GAAP results include an impact in connection with a balance sheet optimization through a securities portfolio repositioning that the Bank decided to undertake as of March 31, 2025 designed to enhance structural liquidity, extend duration and benefit margin while reducing the credit sensitive portion of the portfolio given the volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment. Even with the impact of the balance sheet optimization transaction and balance sheet growth we experienced during the quarter, our TCE / TA ratio* increased by 9 basis points. We maintain a strong liquidity position, with $8.7 billion of liquidity immediately available, which covers approximately 155% of uninsured deposits1 and our loan to deposit ratio was 80%, at March 31, 2025. We continue to focus on loan production where we have a holistic and primary relationship. Total loans and leases held for investment grew by $611.7 million driven by strong commercial loan growth of $460.3 million led by growth in our existing specialized lending verticals. Asset quality remains strong with our NPA ratio at just 0.26% of total assets and reserve levels are robust at 324% of total non-performing loans at the end of Q1 2025. Our exposure to the higher risk commercial real estate office sector is minimal, representing approximately 1% of the loan portfolio. 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 $54.74. We believe that our unique strategy and the investments we have and are making, along with the exceptional talent in our organization, will position us for success in 2025 and beyond,” Jay Sidhu continued.

Risk ratings are assigned to loans and leases held for investment, and excludes loans held for sale, loans receivable, mortgage finance, at fair value, loans

held for sale, loans receivable, installment, at fair value and eligible PPP loans that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.

Over the last decade, the Bank has developed a suite of commercial loan products with one particularly important common denominator: a 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 a challenging economic and rate 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 March 31, 2025 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 $51.6 million. At March 31, 2025, the consumer installment portfolio had the following characteristics: average original FICO score of 739, average debt-to-income of 20% and average borrower income of $104 thousand.

Non-performing loans at March 31, 2025 decreased to 0.29% of total loans and leases, compared to 0.30% at December 31, 2024 and increased, compared to 0.27% at March 31, 2024.

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.

Customers Bancorp’s common equity increased $27.9 million to $1.7 billion, and tangible common equity* increased $27.9 million to $1.7 billion, at March 31, 2025 compared to the prior quarter, respectively, primarily from earnings of $9.5 million and decreased unrealized losses on investment securities of $28.9 million (net of taxes) deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). These increases were offset in part by $5.6 million of common share repurchases in Q1 2025. Similarly, book value per common share increased to $54.85 from $54.20, and tangible book value per common share* increased to $54.74 from $54.08, at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Customers Bancorp’s common equity increased $172.9 million to $1.7 billion, and tangible common equity* increased $172.9 million to $1.7 billion, at March 31, 2025 compared to a year ago, respectively, primarily from earnings of $130.0 million and decreased unrealized losses on investment securities in AOCI of $64.7 million (net of taxes), offset in part by $24.9 million of common share repurchases. Similarly, book value per common share increased to $54.85 from $49.29, and tangible book value per common share* increased to $54.74 from $49.18, at March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

At the Customers Bancorp level, the CET 1 ratio (estimate), total risk based capital ratio (estimate), common equity to total assets ratio and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio* (“TCE / TA ratio”) were 11.7%, 14.6%, 7.7%, and 7.7%, respectively, at March 31, 2025.

At the Customers Bank level, capital levels remained strong and well above regulatory minimums. At March 31, 2025, Tier 1 capital (estimate) and total risk based capital (estimate) were 12.4% and 13.9%, respectively.

Key Profitability Trends

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $167.4 million in Q1 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million from Q4 2024. This decrease was driven by a decrease in interest income of $15.0 million primarily due to lower interest income from interest-earning deposits and investment securities, partially offset by lower interest expense of $14.6 million due to a favorable shift in deposit mix and lower market interest rates.

“Net interest margin expanded in the quarter primarily driven by improvements in the liability side of the balance sheet as we lowered interest bearing deposit costs and had higher levels of average non-interest bearing deposits. This is evident in the fact that our total cost of deposits declined by 25 basis points during the quarter.

Additionally, diversified and robust loan growth late in the quarter which we achieved through taking market share should provide a strong foundation for our net interest income throughout the remainder of 2025,” stated Customers Bancorp President Sam Sidhu. “We have positive drivers to net interest income on both sides of the balance sheet though we continue to believe the best opportunity remains in reducing our interest expense with continued momentum from our new deposit focused commercial banking teams and across our franchise,” stated Sam Sidhu.

Net interest income totaled $167.4 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $7.1 million from Q1 2024. This increase was primarily due to lower interest expense from a favorable shift in deposit mix and lower market interest rates, partially offset by lower interest income from interest-earning deposits and investment securities.

Reported non-interest income totaled a loss of $24.5 million for Q1 2025, an increase of $24.1 million compared to a loss of $0.4 million for Q4 2024. The increase in losses was primarily due to $51.3 million of impairment loss on certain AFS debt securities that the Bank decided to sell as of March 31, 2025, in order to further improve structural liquidity, enhance credit profile, reduce asset sensitivity and benefit margin, partially offset by a decrease of $26.3 million in net realized loss on sale of investment securities and an increase in bank-owned life insurance income of $2.5 million primarily due to death benefits received from insurance carriers.

Excluding the impact of the securities repositioning in Q1 2025 and Q4 2024, non-interest income was $26.8 million in Q1 2025 compared to $25.9 million in Q4 2024.

Non-interest income totaled a loss of $24.5 million for Q1 2025, a decrease of $45.7 million compared to Q1 2024. The increase in losses was primarily due to $51.3 million of impairment loss on certain AFS debt securities that the Bank decided to sell as of March 31, 2025, partially offset by increases in commercial lease income of $1.0 million, loan fees of $2.0 million primarily resulting from increased unused line of credit fees, bank-owned life insurance income of $1.4 million primarily due to death benefits received from insurance carriers and deposit account fees of $2.1 million.

Non-interest expenses totaled $102.8 million in Q1 2025, a decrease of $7.6 million compared to Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases of $4.5 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to lower headcount, severance and incentives, $2.1 million in technology, communication and bank operations primarily due to lower software-as-a-service expenses and $1.6 million in professional fees, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in FDIC assessments, non-income taxes and regulatory fees primarily due to higher FDIC assessments.

“During the quarter we realized the benefit of our operational excellence initiatives which are providing the capacity for the continued investments which we are making in our franchise to position us for success in the both the near-term and over the long-term. While we are pleased with the results of these efforts, we will look for continued opportunities to build on this success in the future,” stated Sam Sidhu.

Non-interest expenses totaled $102.8 million in Q1 2025, an increase of $3.6 million compared to Q1 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases of $6.6 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily due to higher headcount including the addition of new banking teams in April 2024 and annual merit increases, and $5.5 million in professional fees including the investment in our risk management infrastructure. These increases were partially offset by decreases in technology, communication and bank operations primarily due to $7.1 million of deposit servicing fees and FDIC assessments, non-income taxes and regulatory fees, primarily due to $4.2 million of FDIC premiums recorded in Q1 2024, both of which relate to periods prior to 2024.

Taxes

Income tax expense decreased by $10.0 million to a benefit of $1.0 million in Q1 2025 from a provision of $8.9 million in Q4 2024 primarily due to lower pre-tax income and an increase in discrete tax benefits from share-based compensation for 2025, partially offset by lower investment tax credits estimated in 2025 as compared to 2024.

Income tax expense decreased by $16.7 million to a benefit of $1.0 million in Q1 2025 from a provision of $15.7 million in Q1 2024 primarily due to lower pre-tax income and an increase in discrete tax benefits from share-based compensation for 2025. The effective tax rate was (8.6)% for Q1 2025.

Outlook

“Looking forward, our strategy remains unchanged. We are focused on continuing the transformation of our deposit franchise, further strengthening our risk management and compliance infrastructure, improving our profitability and growing net interest income, and maintaining strong capital ratios, liquidity, and credit quality. We began the year with strong performance toward achievement of our loan, deposit, and net interest income growth targets as well as our target of lowering our core efficiency ratio. We remain focused on executing in those areas which differentiate us from our peers and believe that providing truly exceptional service, sophisticated product offerings and a single-point-of-contact service model will deliver strategic, organic growth. We believe we are incredibly well positioned to continue to take market share winning new client relationships and that we have the right strategy, the right team, and a client-centric culture to achieve our goals in 2025 and beyond,” concluded Sam Sidhu.

(3) Regulatory capital ratios are estimated for Q1 2025 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 was phased in at 25% per year beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, our regulatory capital ratios reflected the full effect of CECL on regulatory capital.

(1) For presentation in this table, average balances and the corresponding average yields for investment securities are based upon historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

(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 2.82%, 3.07% and 3.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

(5) Tax-equivalent basis, using an estimated marginal tax rate of 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, presented to approximate interest income as a taxable asset.

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.
