ROSEMONT, Ill., July 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wintrust Financial Corporation (“Wintrust” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: WTFC) announced net income of $81.5 million or $1.38 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease in diluted earnings per common share of 9.2% compared to the prior quarter and 9.8% compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2019:
Comparative information to the first quarter of 2019

  • Total deposits increased by $714 million, including $158 million from the Oak Bank Acquisition, or 11% on an annualized basis.
  • Net interest income increased by $4.2 million as the impact of a $797 million increase in average earning assets was partially offset by an eight basis point decline in net interest margin.
  • Mortgage banking production revenue increased by $13.3 million as mortgage originations for sale totaled $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $678 million in the first quarter of 2019.

  • Recorded the following activity related to mortgage servicing rights:
    • Current period capitalization of $9.8 million;
    • Reduction in value related to payoffs and paydowns of $4.1 million; and
    • Reduction in value related to changes in fair value model assumptions, net of derivative contract activity held as an economic hedge, of $3.4 million.
  • Recognized $24.6 million of provision for credit losses and $22.3 million of net charge-offs, of which $15.2 million of provision for credit losses and $18.4 million of net charge-offs related to three credits.
  • Completed a subordinated debt issuance which generated proceeds of $297.5 million, net of the underwriting discount, and contributed to increase the total capital ratio to approximately 12.3%.
  • Opened a new branch in Waukegan, Illinois, as well as completed the Oak Bank Acquisition, with one branch in the city of Chicago.
  • Announced an agreement to acquire STC Bancshares Corp., the parent company of STC Capital Bank, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2019.

Edward J. Wehmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Wintrust reported net income of $81.5 million for the second quarter of 2019, down from $89.1 million in the first quarter of 2019. The Company experienced strong balance sheet growth as total assets were $1.3 billion higher than the prior quarter end and $4.2 billion higher than the second quarter of 2018. The second quarter was characterized by strong balance sheet growth,  increased mortgage banking revenue, resolution of problem credits, and a continued focus to increase franchise value in our market area."

Mr. Wehmer continued, "This quarter demonstrated our asset-driven mentality as we generated high quality assets while leveraging our retail banking footprint to grow core deposit funding. The Company experienced significant loan growth in the quarter as total loans grew by $1.1 billion and the yield on loans remained relatively flat to the prior quarter. Additionally, the loan growth was diversified across various loan portfolios as we experienced growth of $380 million of commercial premium finance receivables, $303 million of commercial real estate loans and $277 million of commercial loans. Total deposits increased by $714 million in the current quarter although the rate on interest bearing deposits increased by eight basis points.  We remain aggressive in growing quality assets that meet our standards and will seek to fund that by expanding deposit market share and household penetration."

Mr. Wehmer noted, “Our mortgage banking business production increased dramatically in the current quarter as loan volumes originated for sale increased to $1.2 billion from $678 million in the first quarter of 2019.  The favorable increase in origination volume was a result of the seasonal purchase market combined with increased refinance activity due to the declining interest rate environment. Declining long-term interest rates also contributed to a $4.1 million reduction in our mortgage servicing rights portfolio related to payoffs and paydowns as well as a $3.4 million reduction due to changes in fair value assumptions, net of hedging gain.  However, those declines were more than offset by capitalization of retained servicing rights of $9.8 million in the current quarter. We continue to focus on efficiencies in our delivery channels and our operating costs in our mortgage banking area. We believe that the mortgage rate outlook bodes well for mortgage origination demand in future quarters."

Commenting on credit quality, Mr. Wehmer stated, "During the current quarter, the Company recorded $24.6 million of provision for credit losses and $22.3 million of net charge-offs, of which $15.2 million of provision for credit losses and $18.4 million of net charge-offs related to three credits. This contributed to a four basis point reduction in non-performing loans as a percent of total loans to 0.45%. The Company recorded additional provision expense during the current quarter in recognition of the significant loan growth as well as certain specific reserves on other non-performing loans. We believe that the Company’s reserves remain appropriate and we remain diligent in our review of credit. We do not believe that the charges taken during the current quarter represent any pervasive issues that may have broader implications on the credit quality of our loan portfolio."

Turning to the future, Mr. Wehmer stated, “We have experienced significant franchise growth in the first two quarters of 2019 and believe that our opportunities for both internal and external growth remain consistently strong. Total period-end loans exceeded total average loans by $751 million in the current quarter, providing momentum for an increase in net interest income in the third quarter of 2019 despite market conditions that are applying pressure to the net interest margin. We plan to continue to emphasize core deposit growth and we will remain diligent in monitoring the interest rate environment to ensure that we react quickly in adjusting deposit pricing in the event of further interest rate reductions. We plan to continue in our steady and measured approach to achieve our main objectives of growing franchise value, increasing profitability, leveraging our expense infrastructure and continuing to increase shareholder value.  Evaluating strategic acquisitions, like the Oak Bank Acquisition and the announced acquisition of STC Bancshares Corp., and organic branch growth will continue to be a part of our overall growth strategy with the goal of becoming Chicago’s bank and Wisconsin’s bank."

SUMMARY OF RESULTS:

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets grew by $1.3 billion in the second quarter of 2019 primarily driven by $1.1 billion of loan growth as well as an increase in mortgage loans held-for-sale of $146.4 million.  There were no material additions to the Company's investment portfolio during the current quarter due to the lack of acceptable financial returns given the current interest rate environment.  The Company held $1.4 billion of interest bearing cash as of June 30, 2019 in order to maintain adequate liquidity.

Total liabilities grew by $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2019 primarily comprised of growth in total deposits of $714.1 million and an increase of $296.8 million in subordinated notes. Management believes in substantially funding the balance sheet with core deposits and utilizes brokered or wholesale funding sources as appropriate to manage its liquidity position as well as for interest rate risk management purposes.

For more information regarding changes in the Company’s balance sheet, see Consolidated Statements of Condition and Tables 1 through 4 in this report.

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the second quarter of 2019, net interest income totaled $266.2 million, an increase of $4.2 million as compared to the first quarter of 2019 and an increase of $28.0 million as compared to the second quarter of 2018. The $4.2 million increase in net interest income in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2019 was attributable to a $6.6 million increase related to balance sheet growth and a $2.9 million increase from one more day in the quarter partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease due to a reduction in net interest margin.

Net interest margin was 3.62% (3.64% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2019 compared to 3.70% (3.72% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the first quarter of 2019 and 3.61% (3.63% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2018. The eight basis point decrease in net interest margin in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 is primarily due to an increase in the rate on interest bearing liabilities of 11 basis points partially offset by a three basis point increase in the contribution of net free funds.  The 11 basis point increase in the rate on interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to an eight basis point increase in deposit pricing related to promotional efforts to expand our market penetration, including at new branches. Additionally, the rate on interest bearing liabilities was negatively impacted by three basis points due to a higher mix of wholesale borrowings including the subordinated debt issuance in the current quarter and the utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings to fund asset growth.  The yield on earning assets remained unchanged in the second quarter as compared to first quarter as the yield on loans remained relatively consistent quarter over quarter.

For the first six months of 2019, net interest income totaled $528.2 million, an increase of $64.9 million as compared to the first six months of 2018. Net interest margin was 3.66% (3.68% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the first six months of 2019 compared to 3.58% (3.60% on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the first six months of 2018.

For more information regarding net interest income, see Tables 5 through 10 in this report.

ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for credit losses is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments. The allowance for loan losses is a reserve against loan amounts that are actually funded and outstanding while the allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments (separate liability account) relates to certain amounts that Wintrust is committed to lend but for which funds have not yet been disbursed. The provision for credit losses may contain both a component related to funded loans (provision for loan losses) and a component related to lending-related commitments (provision for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit).

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans, in the second quarter of 2019 totaled 36 basis points on an annualized basis compared to nine basis points on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2019 and two basis points on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2018.  Net charge-offs totaled $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, a $17.2 million increase from $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 and a $21.2 million increase from $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2018.  The provision for credit losses totaled $24.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $10.6 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $5.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. Of the $24.6 million of provision for credit losses and $22.3 million of net charge-offs recognized in the current quarter, $18.4 million of net charge-offs and $15.2 million of provision expense, respectively, related to three credits.  For more information regarding net charge-offs, see Table 11 in this report.

Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate to provide for inherent losses in the portfolio. There can be no assurances, however, that future losses will not exceed the amounts provided for, thereby affecting future results of operations. The amount of future additions to the allowance for credit losses will be dependent upon management’s assessment of the appropriateness of the allowance based on its evaluation of economic conditions, changes in real estate values, interest rates, the regulatory environment, the level of past-due and non-performing loans and other factors.

As part of the regular quarterly review performed by management to determine if the Company’s allowance for loan losses is appropriate, an analysis is prepared on the loan portfolio based upon a breakout of core loans and consumer, niche and purchased loans. A summary of the allowance for loan losses calculated for the loan components in both the core loan portfolio and the consumer, niche and purchased loan portfolio as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 is shown on Table 12 of this report.

As of June 30, 2019, $54.9 million of all loans, or 0.2%, were 60 to 89 days past due and $129.1 million, or 0.5%, were 30 to 59 days (or one payment) past due. As of March 31, 2019, $19.2 million of all loans, or 0.1%, were 60 to 89 days past due and $176.2 million, or 0.7%, were 30 to 59 days (or one payment) past due. Many of the commercial and commercial real estate loans shown as 60 to 89 days and 30 to 59 days past due are included on the Company’s internal problem loan reporting system. Loans on this system are closely monitored by management on a monthly basis.

The Company’s home equity and residential loan portfolios continue to exhibit low delinquency ratios. Home equity loans at June 30, 2019 that are current with regard to the contractual terms of the loan agreement represent 97.9% of the total home equity portfolio. Residential real estate loans at June 30, 2019 that are current with regards to the contractual terms of the loan agreements comprise 98.2% of total residential real estate loans outstanding. For more information regarding past due loans, see Table 13 in this report.

Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date. In accordance with accounting guidance, credit deterioration on purchased loans is recorded as a credit discount at the time of purchase. In addition to the $160.4 million of allowance for loan losses, there was $6.9 million of non-accretable credit discount on purchased loans reported in accordance with ASC 310-30 that is available to absorb credit losses as of June 30, 2019.

The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.40% as of June 30, 2019, compared to 0.43% at March 31, 2019, and 0.40% at June 30, 2018. Non-performing assets, excluding PCI loans, totaled $133.5 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $139.4 million at March 31, 2019 and $118.9 million at June 30, 2018. Non-performing loans, excluding PCI loans, totaled $113.4 million, or 0.45% of total loans, at June 30, 2019 compared to $117.6 million, or 0.49% of total loans, at March 31, 2019 and $83.3 million, or 0.37% of total loans, at June 30, 2018. Other real estate owned ("OREO") of $19.8 million at June 30, 2019 decreased $1.7 million compared to $21.5 million at March 31, 2019 and decreased $15.5 million compared to $35.3 million at June 30, 2018. Management is pursuing the resolution of all non-performing assets. At this time, management believes reserves are appropriate to absorb inherent losses and OREO is appropriately valued at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. For more information regarding non-performing assets, see Table 14 in this report.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Wealth management revenue increased by $162,000 during the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to increased brokerage commissions and asset management fees. Wealth management revenue is comprised of the trust and asset management revenue of The Chicago Trust Company and Great Lakes Advisors, the brokerage commissions, managed money fees and insurance product commissions at Wintrust Investments and fees from tax-deferred like-kind exchange services provided by the Chicago Deferred Exchange Company.

Mortgage banking revenue increased by $19.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of higher production revenues and an increase in the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio in the second quarter of 2019.  Production revenue increased by $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to a significant increase in origination volumes as a result of the seasonal purchase market and increased refinancing activity.  The percentage of origination volume from refinancing activities was 37% in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to 33% in the first quarter of 2019. Mortgage banking revenue includes revenue from activities related to originating, selling and servicing residential real estate loans for the secondary market.

During the second quarter of 2019, the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio increased as retained servicing rights led to the capitalization of $9.8 million partially offset by negative fair value adjustments of $4.3 million and a reduction in value of $4.1 million due to payoffs and paydowns of the existing portfolio. The Company purchased an option at the beginning of the second quarter of 2019 to economically hedge a portion of the potential negative fair value changes recorded in earnings related to its mortgage servicing rights portfolio. The option was exercised during the current quarter resulting in a net gain of $920,000 which was recorded in mortgage banking revenue.

The net gains recognized on investment securities in the second quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2019, respectively, were primarily due to unrealized gains recognized on equity securities held by the Company, including a large cap value mutual fund.

The Company recorded $643,000 of fees from covered call options in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2019.  The Company has typically written call options with terms of less than three months against certain U.S. Treasury and agency securities held in its portfolio for liquidity and other purposes. Management has entered into these transactions with the goal of economically hedging security positions and enhancing its overall return on its investment portfolio by using fees generated from these options to compensate for net interest margin compression. These option transactions are designed to mitigate overall interest rate risk and do not qualify as hedges pursuant to accounting guidance. There were no outstanding call option contracts at June 30, 2019, March 31, 2019 or June 30, 2018.

Miscellaneous non-interest income decreased by $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to reduced income from investments in partnerships.

For more information regarding non-interest income, see Tables 15 and 16 in this report.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The $8.0 million increase is comprised of an increase of $1.3 million in salaries expense, $4.9 million in commissions and incentive compensation and $1.8 million in benefits expense.  The increase in salaries expense is primarily due to increased staffing as the Company grows, including additional salaries from the Oak Bank Acquisition as well as a full quarter impact of annual merit increases that were effective in February.  Commissions and incentive compensation increased in the current quarter primarily related to the increased volume of mortgage originations for sale.  The increase in benefits expense relates primarily to increases in employee insurance expense in the current quarter.

Equipment expense totaled $12.8 million in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $1.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in the current quarter relates primarily to increased software depreciation and licensing expenses and maintenance and repairs.

Data processing expenses decreased by $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to the realization of a full quarter impact of favorable contract negotiations on various data processing contracts which were completed in the first quarter of 2019.

Advertising and marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2019 increased by $3.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily related to higher corporate sponsorship costs, which are typically higher in the spring and summer due to our marketing efforts related to baseball sponsorships, as well as increased spending related to deposit generation and brand awareness to grow our loan and deposit portfolios.

Miscellaneous expenses increased by $2.4 million during the second quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily as a result of loan expenses and travel and entertainment expenses. Miscellaneous expense includes ATM expenses, correspondent bank charges, directors' fees, telephone, travel and entertainment, corporate insurance, dues and subscriptions, problem loan expenses, operating losses and lending origination costs that are not deferred.

For more information regarding non-interest income, see Table 17 in this report.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $28.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2019 and $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2018. The effective tax rates were 26.06% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 24.86% in the first quarter of 2019 and 26.33% in the second quarter of 2018. During the first six months of 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $58.2 million compared to $58.1 million for the first six months of 2018. The effective tax rates were 25.44% for the first six months of 2019 and 25.30% for the first six months of 2018.

The quarterly and year-to-date effective tax rates were impacted by excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. These excess tax benefits were $69,000 in the second quarter of 2019 and $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $712,000 in the second quarter of 2018 and $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2018. Excess tax benefits are expected to be higher in the first quarter when the majority of the Company's shared-based awards vest, and will fluctuate throughout the year based on the Company's stock price and timing of employee stock option exercises and vesting of other share-based awards.

BUSINESS UNIT SUMMARY

Community Banking

Through its community banking unit, the Company provides banking and financial services primarily to individuals, small to mid-sized businesses, local governmental units and institutional clients residing primarily in the local areas the Company services. In the second quarter of 2019, revenue within this unit was primarily driven by increased net interest income due to increased earning assets and one additional day in the second quarter, partially offset by higher rates on interest bearing liabilities.  Mortgage banking revenue increased significantly from $18.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 to $37.4 million for the second quarter of 2019. Services charges on deposit accounts totaled $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 an increase of $429,000 as compared to the first quarter of 2019 primarily due to higher account analysis fees. The Company's gross commercial and commercial real estate loan pipelines remain strong. Before the impact of scheduled payments and prepayments, gross commercial and commercial real estate loan pipelines were estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2019. When adjusted for the probability of closing, the pipelines were estimated to be approximately $750 million to $800 million at June 30, 2019.

Specialty Finance

Through its specialty finance unit, the Company offers financing of insurance premiums for businesses and individuals, equipment financing through structured loans and lease products to customers in a variety of industries and accounts receivable financing, value-added, out-sourced administrative services, and other services. In the second quarter of 2019, the specialty finance unit experienced higher revenue primarily as a result of increased volumes and higher yields within its insurance premium financing receivables portfolio. Originations within the insurance premium financing receivables portfolio were $2.4 billion during the second quarter of 2019 and average balances increased by $228.0 million as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in average balances along with higher yields on these loans resulted in a $5.2 million increase in interest income attributed to the insurance premium finance receivables portfolio. The Company's leasing business grew during the second quarter of 2019, with its portfolio of assets, including capital leases, loans and equipment on operating leases, increasing $80.4 million to $1.4 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2019. Revenues from the Company's out-sourced administrative services business remained relatively steady, totaling approximately $1.0 million in both the first quarter and the second quarter of 2019.

Wealth Management

Through four separate subsidiaries within its wealth management unit, the Company offers a full range of wealth management services, including trust and investment services, tax-deferred like-kind exchange services, asset management, securities brokerage services and 401(k) and retirement plan services. Wealth management revenue increased by $162,000 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2019, totaling $24.1 million in the current period. At June 30, 2019, the Company’s wealth management subsidiaries had approximately $25.9 billion of assets under administration, which included $3.6 billion of assets owned by the Company and its subsidiary banks, representing a $772.9 million increase from the $25.1 billion of assets under administration at March 31, 2019. The increase in the second quarter of 2019 was primarily due to market appreciation as well as increased business.

  3. The net overhead ratio is calculated by netting total non-interest expense and total non-interest income, annualizing this amount, and dividing by that period's average total assets. A lower ratio indicates a higher degree of efficiency.
  4. Period-end balance sheet percentage changes are annualized.
  5. Excludes mortgage loans held-for-sale.

Certain returns, yields, performance ratios, or quarterly growth rates are “annualized” in this presentation to represent an annual time period. This is done for analytical purposes to better discern for decision-making purposes underlying performance trends when compared to full-year or year-over-year amounts. For example, a 5% growth rate for a quarter would represent an annualized 20% growth rate. Additional supplemental financial information showing quarterly trends can be found on the Company’s website at www.wintrust.com by choosing “Financial Reports” under the “Investor Relations” heading, and then choosing “Financial Highlights.”

TABLE 9: INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

As an ongoing part of its financial strategy, the Company attempts to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Management measures its exposure to changes in interest rates by modeling many different interest rate scenarios.

The following interest rate scenarios display the percentage change in net interest income over a one-year time horizon assuming increases of 100 and 200 basis points and a decrease of 100 basis points. The Static Shock Scenario results incorporate actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet instruments following an instantaneous, parallel change in market rates based upon a static (i.e. no growth or constant) balance sheet. Conversely, the Ramp Scenario results incorporate management’s projections of future volume and pricing of each of the product lines following a gradual, parallel change in market rates over twelve months.  Actual results may differ from these simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies. The interest rate sensitivity for both the Static Shock and Ramp Scenario is as follows:

Static Shock Scenario   +200
Basis 
Points
  +100
 Basis
 Points
  -100
Basis
 Points
June 30, 2019   17.3 %   8.9 %   (10.2 )%
March 31, 2019   14.9     7.8     (8.5 )
December 31, 2018   15.6     7.9     (8.6 )
September 30, 2018   18.1     9.1     (10.0 )
June 30, 2018   19.3     9.7     (10.7 )

 

Ramp Scenario +200

June 30, 2019 8.3 %   4.3 %   (4.6 )%
March 31, 2019 6.7     3.5     (3.3 )
December 31, 2018 7.4     3.8     (3.6 )
September 30, 2018 8.5     4.3     (4.2 )
June 30, 2018 8.7     4.5     (4.4 )

These results indicate that the Company has positioned its balance sheet to benefit from a rise in interest rates.  This analysis also indicates that the Company would benefit to a greater magnitude should a rise in interest rates be significant (i.e., 200 basis points) and immediate (Static Shock Scenario).

TABLE 18: SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES/RATIOS

The accounting and reporting policies of Wintrust conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance. These include taxable-equivalent net interest income (including its individual components), taxable-equivalent net interest margin (including its individual components), the taxable-equivalent efficiency ratio, tangible common equity ratio, tangible book value per common share and return on average tangible common equity. Management believes that these measures and ratios provide users of the Company’s financial information a more meaningful view of the performance of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and of the Company’s operating efficiency. Other financial holding companies may define or calculate these measures and ratios differently.

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis using tax rates effective as of the end of the period. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis is also used in the calculation of the Company’s efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by total taxable-equivalent net revenue (less securities gains or losses), measures how much it costs to produce one dollar of revenue. Securities gains or losses are excluded from this calculation to better match revenue from daily operations to operational expenses. Management considers the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share as useful measurements of the Company’s equity.  The Company references the return on average tangible common equity as a measurement of profitability.

Similarly, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, which may include, but are not limited to, those listed below and the Risk Factors discussed under Item 1A of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any of the Company’s subsequent SEC filings. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Such forward-looking statements may be deemed to include, among other things, statements relating to the Company’s future financial performance, the performance of its loan portfolio, the expected amount of future credit reserves and charge-offs, delinquency trends, growth plans, regulatory developments, securities that the Company may offer from time to time, and management’s long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on financial condition and results of operations from expected developments or events, the Company’s business and growth strategies, including future acquisitions of banks, specialty finance or wealth management businesses, internal growth and plans to form additional de novo banks or branch offices. Actual results could differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including the following:

  • economic conditions that affect the economy, housing prices, the job market and other factors that may adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and the performance of its loan portfolios, particularly in the markets in which it operates;
  • negative effects suffered by us or our customers resulting from changes in U.S. trade policies;

  • inaccurate assumptions in our analytical and forecasting models used to manage our loan portfolio;
  • changes in the level and volatility of interest rates, the capital markets and other market indices that may affect, among other things, the Company’s liquidity and the value of its assets and liabilities;
  • competitive pressures in the financial services business which may affect the pricing of the Company’s loan and deposit products as well as its services (including wealth management services), which may result in loss of market share and reduced income from deposits, loans, advisory fees and income from other products;
  • failure to identify and complete favorable acquisitions in the future or unexpected difficulties or developments related to the integration of the Company’s recent or future acquisitions;
  • unexpected difficulties and losses related to FDIC-assisted acquisitions;
  • harm to the Company’s reputation;
  • any negative perception of the Company’s financial strength;
  • ability of the Company to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed;

  • adverse effects on our information technology systems resulting from failures, human error or cyberattacks;
  • adverse effects of failures by our vendors to provide agreed upon services in the manner and at the cost agreed, particularly our information technology vendors;
  • increased costs as a result of protecting our customers from the impact of stolen debit card information;
  • accuracy and completeness of information the Company receives about customers and counterparties to make credit decisions;
  • ability of the Company to attract and retain senior management experienced in the banking and financial services industries;
  • environmental liability risk associated with lending activities;
  • the impact of any claims or legal actions to which the Company is subject, including any effect on our reputation;
  • losses incurred in connection with repurchases and indemnification payments related to mortgages and increases in reserves associated therewith;
  • the loss of customers as a result of technological changes allowing consumers to complete their financial transactions without the use of a bank;
  • the soundness of other financial institutions;
  • the expenses and delayed returns inherent in opening new branches and de novo banks;
  • examinations and challenges by tax authorities, and any unanticipated impact of the Tax Act;
  • changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations such as the new CECL standard, and the impact on the Company’s financial statements;
  • the ability of the Company to receive dividends from its subsidiaries;
  • uncertainty about the future of LIBOR;
  • a decrease in the Company’s capital ratios, including as a result of declines in the value of its loan portfolios, or otherwise;
  • legislative or regulatory changes, particularly changes in regulation of financial services companies and/or the products and services offered by financial services companies;
  • a lowering of our credit rating;
  • changes in U.S. monetary policy and changes to the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet as a result of the end of its program of quantitative easing or otherwise;
  • restrictions upon our ability to market our products to consumers and limitations on our ability to profitably operate our mortgage business resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act;
  • increased costs of compliance, heightened regulatory capital requirements and other risks associated with changes in regulation and the regulatory environment;
  • the impact of heightened capital requirements;
  • increases in the Company’s FDIC insurance premiums, or the collection of special assessments by the FDIC;
  • delinquencies or fraud with respect to the Company’s premium finance business;
  • credit downgrades among commercial and life insurance providers that could negatively affect the value of collateral securing the Company’s premium finance loans;
  • the Company’s ability to comply with covenants under its credit facility; and
