Financial Performance

“This was an exceptional quarter for Western Alliance,” said Robert Sarver, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Western Alliance Bancorporation. “Loans grew for the 10th consecutive quarter and deposits were up for the 11th, driving our top line revenue up 9.7% from the third quarter of 2011. In fact, recently released FDIC data shows that the Company is growing twice as fast as the market in Arizona and San Diego. Meanwhile, we held our expenses in check and our credit costs fell, propelling a substantial rise in earnings per share.

“I’d also like to welcome the customers of Service1st Bank of Nevada to our Company. Service1st Bank became part of Western Alliance with the close of our merger with Western Liberty Bancorp yesterday. We expect to merge Service1st into Bank of Nevada at the end of this month and complete the systems integration in December. This will give our new clients access to the larger branch network as well as other services offered by Bank of Nevada and its affiliates.”

Ken Vecchione, President and Chief Operating Officer, added, “Our improved operating leverage from exceptional revenue growth and continued expense control took our efficiency ratio below 55% for the first time during the quarter. Although non-performing assets rose, we’re pleased with the lower charge-offs and other real estate losses incurred, which we believe reflect continued recovery in our primary markets. Record efficiency combined with lower credit costs enabled us to increase earnings per share to 18 cents, up 20% from the second quarter.”

Western Alliance Bancorporation reported net income of $15.5 million, or $0.18 per share, in the third quarter 2012 including a $0.1 million charge from repossessed assets valuations/sales, $3.4 million of goodwill and intangible impairment charges, a $0.8 million gain from sale of minority interest and a $1.0 million gain from securities sales.

Total loans increased $168 million, or 3.3 percent, to $5.33 billion at September 30, 2012 from $5.16 billion on June 30, 2012. This increase was primarily driven by growth in commercial and industrial loans and construction and land development loans. Loans increased $806 million from September 30, 2011.

Total deposits increased $161 million, or 2.7 percent, to $6.16 billion at September 30, 2012 from $6.0 billion at June 30, 2012, with growth primarily in money market accounts, certificates of deposits and savings accounts partially offset by declines in interest bearing demand and non-interest bearing demand. Deposits increased $529 million from September 30, 2011.

(1) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(2) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(3) We believe this non-GAAP ratio improves the comparability to other institutions that have not engaged in acquisitions that resulted in recorded goodwill and other intangibles.

(4) We believe this non-GAAP measurement provides a useful indication of the cash generating capacity of the Company.

(5) We believe this non-GAAP measurement is a key indicator of the earnings power of the Company, which is otherwise obscured by the asset quality issues.

(6) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a useful metric to measure the operating efficiency of the Company.

(7) Under the guidelines of the Federal Reserve and the FDIC in effect at December 31, 2011, Tier 1 capital consisted of common stock, retained earnings, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities up to a certain limit, and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most other intangible assets.

(8) Tier 1 common equity is often expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based capital framework, a bank's balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items, are assigned to one of four broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk weighting assigned to that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the four categories are added together and this sum is the risk-weighted assets total that, as adjusted, comprises the denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the Tier 1 capital ratio. Adjustments are made to Tier 1 capital to arrive at Tier 1 common equity. Tier 1 common equity is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio. We believe this non-GAAP ratio with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(9) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a critical regulatory metric in which to analyze asset quality.
