BankUnited, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

MIAMI LAKES, Fla.--()--BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

We were pleased with our results for the quarter. The deposit mix and cost of funds improved, PPNR continued to show growth over the prior year and we saw some positive signs around credit as loans on deferral declined," said Rajinder Singh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported net income of $66.6 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $76.5 million or $0.80 per diluted share for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2020 and $76.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reported net income of $112.1 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $223.6 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were negatively impacted by the application of the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") accounting methodology, including the expected impact of COVID-19 on the provision for credit losses.

Financial Highlights

  • Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $906 million, or 15%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, to 26% of total deposits, compared to 23% of total deposits at June 30, 2020 and 18% of total deposits at December 31, 2019. Total deposits increased by $527 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as growth in non-interest bearing deposits was partially offset by continued runoff of higher cost time deposits. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased by $874 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the immediately preceding quarter and by $2.2 billion compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
  • The average cost of total deposits declined by 0.23% to 0.57% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, its lowest level since the Company's inception. The cost of total deposits was 0.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and 1.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. On a spot basis, the average annual percentage yield ("APY") on total deposits declined to 0.49% at September 30, 2020 from 0.65% at June 30, 2020 and 1.42% at December 31, 2019.
  • Loans under COVID related deferral continued to decline. We reported at the end of the second quarter that we had granted initial 90-day payment deferrals on loans totaling $3.6 billion or approximately 15% of the total loan portfolio. At September 30, 2020, $1.1 billion, or approximately 5% of total loans were still subject to a short-term COVID related payment deferral or longer term modification under the CARES Act, or were in the process of modification. At October 25, 2020, $983 million, or approximately 4%, of loans remained on deferral or modification.
  • Investment securities grew by $607 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 while loans and leases, including operating lease equipment, declined by $69 million as liquidity was deployed into investment securities in the current challenging credit environment. We experienced growth in the residential and mortgage warehouse loan portfolio segments, offset by net runoff in other commercial and commercial real estate segments.
  • Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") continued to improve year-over-year, increasing by $12.9 million to $115.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 from $102.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. PPNR was $122.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, PPNR improved to $322.5 million from $308.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
  • The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.32% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2.39% for the immediately preceding quarter. Deployment of liquidity into the securities portfolio contributed to the decline in the net interest margin for the quarter. The yield on interest earnings assets declined by 0.22% while the cost of interest bearing liabilities declined by 0.15% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The net interest margin was 2.41% for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
  • The provision for credit losses totaled $29.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to $25.4 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2020. The provision for credit losses was $180.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses, under the incurred loss model, of $1.8 million and $9.4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $274 million, or 1.15% of the loan portfolio, compared to $266 million, or 1.12% at June 30, 2020.
  • The net unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities available for sale continued to improve during the quarter to a net unrealized gain of $62.0 million at September 30, 2020 compared to net unrealized losses of $2.6 million and $249.8 million at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.
  • Stockholders' equity increased by $110 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 to $2.9 billion. The increase was driven by the recovery of $61 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, related primarily to the reduction in unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale, and by the retention of earnings. At September 30, 2020, book value per common share and tangible book value per common share were $31.01 and $30.17, respectively, compared to $29.81 and $28.97, respectively at June 30, 2020 and $31.33 and $30.52, respectively at December 31, 2019.
  • A dividend of $0.23 per common share was declared for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Growth in residential and other consumer loans for the quarter was mainly attributable to GNMA early buyout loans. At September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the residential portfolio included $1.1 billion, $805 million and $676 million, respectively, of GNMA early buyout loans. Residential activity for the quarter included purchases of approximately $418 million in GNMA early buyout loans, offset by approximately $154 million in re-poolings and paydowns.

Residential and other consumer loans, excluding GNMA early buyout loans, experienced a net increase of approximately $99 million.

For most commercial portfolio segments, production for the quarter in a challenging credit environment was not sufficient to offset payoffs and lower line utilization. The decline in multi-family balances was driven primarily by continued runoff of the New York portfolio.

Mortgage warehouse outstandings increased by $90 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Mortgage warehouse commitments totaled $2.0 billion at September 30, 2020, an increase of 53% compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2019. Line utilization was 63% at September 30, 2020 compared to 59% at December 31, 2019.

ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL, which carry nominal or no reserves, was 1.33% at September 30, 2020.

The ACL at September 30, 2020 represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses from the loan portfolio 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 September 2020, economic information provided by additional sources, data reflecting the impact of recent events on individual borrowers and other relevant information.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $29.2 million, which included a provision of $27.6 million related to funded loans as well as immaterial components related to accrued interest receivable, unfunded loan commitments and an AFS debt security.

Charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 included $22.1 million related to one commercial and industrial relationship that had been downgraded to substandard prior to the onset of COVID.

Non-performing loans totaled $200.3 million or 0.84% of total loans at September 30, 2020, compared to $204.8 million or 0.88% of total loans at December 31, 2019. Non-performing loans included $43.6 million and $45.7 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status, representing 0.18% and 0.20% of total loans at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $187.5 million compared to $190.3 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2020 and $185.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Interest income decreased by $13.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and by $68.8 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Interest expense decreased by $10.3 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter and by $70.6 million compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Decreases in interest income resulted from declines in market interest rates, partially offset by increases in average interest earning assets. Declines in interest expense reflected decreases in market interest rates and to a lesser extent, declines in average interest bearing liabilities.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased by 0.07% to 2.32% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, from 2.39% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2020. The decline in the yield on interest earning assets outpaced the reduction in cost of interest bearing liabilities for the quarter. The deployment of liquidity into the securities portfolio in a challenging lending environment contributed to the decline in the yield on interest earning assets. Offsetting factors contributing to the decrease in the net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2020 included:

  • The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.75% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, from 1.01% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This decline reflected continued initiatives taken to lower rates paid on deposits in response to declines in general market interest rates and the re-pricing of term deposits. We expect the cost of interest bearing deposits to continue to decline; at September 30, 2020, approximately $1.5 billion or 25% of the time deposit portfolio, with an average rate of 1.67%, has not yet repriced since March 2020 when the Fed last cut rates. The majority of these CDs will mature through the first quarter of 2021.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 2.00% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 from 2.48% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. This decrease resulted from the impact of purchases of lower-yielding securities, prepayments of higher yielding mortgage-backed securities and decreases in coupon interest rates on existing floating rate assets.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on loans decreased to 3.61% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, from 3.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Factors contributing to this decrease included the decline in benchmark interest rates which impacted the rates earned on both existing floating rate assets and new production, and the runoff of loans originated in a higher rate environment.
  • The average rate paid on borrowings increased to 2.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, from 1.97% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, reflecting the maturity of short-term, lower rate FHLB advances. The issuance of $300 million of 5.125% subordinated notes in June 2020 also contributed to the increase.
  • The increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of average total deposits also positively impacted the cost of total deposits and the net interest margin.

The Company's net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 2.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Factors contributing to the decline were largely consistent with those enumerated above.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense totaled $108.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to $106.4 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2020 and $121.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Non-interest expense totaled $333.9 million and $368.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decline of approximately 9%.

  • Compensation and benefits decreased by $8.7 million and $23.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the corresponding periods in 2019. These decreases reflected reductions in headcount related to our BankUnited 2.0 initiative. Lower variable compensation costs and a decrease in equity based compensation expense related to the impact of a declining stock price on liability-classified awards also contributed to the declines.
  • Cost reductions stemming from our BankUnited 2.0 initiative contributed to year over year reductions in Occupancy and equipment expense and Other non-interest expense.
  • The increasing trend year over year in technology and telecommunications expense is reflective of investments in digital and data analytics capabilities and in the infrastructure to support cloud migration.
  • The increase in deposit insurance expense reflects an increase in the assessment rate related to increases in the level of criticized and classified assets.
  • Costs incurred directly related to the implementation of our BankUnited 2.0 initiative during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled $0.3 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
  • For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, non-interest expense included approximately $0.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in costs directly related to our response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

_____________

(1)

We define non-performing loans to include non-accrual loans and loans other than purchase credit deteriorated and government insured residential loans that are past due 90 days or more and still accruing. Contractually delinquent purchase credit deteriorated and government insured residential loans on which interest continues to be accrued are excluded from non-performing loans.

(2)

Non-performing assets include non-performing loans, OREO and other repossessed assets.

(3)

On a tax-equivalent basis.

(4)

Annualized for the three and nine month periods.

(5)

Non-performing loans and assets include the guaranteed portion of non-accrual SBA loans totaling $43.6 million or 0.18% of total loans and 0.12% of total assets, at September 30, 2020; and $45.7 million or 0.20% of total loans and 0.14% of total assets, at December 31, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

PPNR is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the performance of the Company attributable to elements other than the provision for credit losses and the ability of the Company to generate earnings sufficient to cover estimated credit losses, particularly in view of the adoption of the CECL accounting methodology, which may impact comparability of operating results to prior periods. This measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions and is a measure frequently cited by investors. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measurement of PPNR to the comparable GAAP financial measurement of income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and the three months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the adequacy of the ACL coverage, excluding the impact of loans which carry nominal or no reserves. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measurement of ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL to the comparable GAAP financial measurement of ACL to total loans at September 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the capital position and performance of the Company. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions as it is a metric commonly used in the banking industry. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measurement of tangible book value per common share to the comparable GAAP financial measurement of book value per common share at the dates indicated (in thousands except share and per share data):
