Financial Performance
"Through the hard work and dedication of our team, we again delivered very strong financial performance, with record revenue, efficiency, net income, and earnings per share," said Robert Sarver, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Western Alliance Bancorporation. "Our balance sheet momentum continued with double digit growth rates in loans and deposits, while maintaining a tight focus on expense control as operating costs were flat from the second quarter."

Sarver added, "Asset quality remains strong as we have experienced net recoveries in four of the last five quarters. And, despite our strong asset growth, tangible common equity climbed to 8.2% of tangible assets from 7.9% last quarter."
Income Statement
Net interest income was $98.1 million in the third quarter 2014, an increase of $4.2 million, or 4.4%, from $93.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and an increase of $13.5 million, or 16.0%, compared to the third quarter 2013. The Company’s net interest margin increased in the third quarter 2014 to 4.43%, compared to 4.39% in the second quarter 2014 and 4.41% in the third quarter 2013. Interest income on the disposition of purchased credit impaired loans was $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $3.1 million for the second quarter 2014 and $1.3 million for the third quarter 2013.
Operating non-interest income was $5.7 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2014 and $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2013.1 
Net operating revenue was $103.7 million for the third quarter 2014, an increase of 4.1% compared to $99.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 and an increase of 14.8% compared to $90.4 million for the third quarter 2013.1 
Operating non-interest expense was $52.0 million for the third quarter 2014, compared to $52.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 and $48.3 million for the third quarter of 2013.1 The Company’s operating efficiency ratio1 on a tax equivalent basis was 47.2% for the third quarter 2014, compared to 49.4% for the second quarter 2014 and 51.6% for the third quarter 2013.
Non-operating items for the third quarter 2014 consisted of a net gain on sales and valuations of repossessed and other assets of $2.0 million, unrealized gains on assets and liabilities measured at fair value of $0.9 million, and loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million due to the Company's repurchase of $6.5 million in outstanding 10% senior note principal, due in 2015, whose carrying value is included in borrowings. Prior to the repurchase, the outstanding senior note principal balance was $64.9 million.
The Company had 1,120 full-time equivalent employees and 39 offices at September 30, 2014, compared to 1,023 full-time equivalent employees and 41 offices at September 30, 2013.

Segment Highlights
On December 31, 2013, the Company consolidated its three bank subsidiaries under one charter, Western Alliance Bank. As a result, the Company has redefined its operating segments to reflect the new organizational and internal reporting structure. Prior year segment information has not been recast to conform to the new segmentation methodology due to the impracticability of restating segments because of the change in legal structure at December 31, 2013. The new operating segments are as follows: Arizona, Nevada, California, Central Business Lines, and Corporate & Other.
The Company's reportable segments are aggregated primarily based on geographic location, services offered, and markets served. The Arizona, Nevada, and California segments provide full service banking and related services to their respective regions. The Company's Central Business Lines (CBL) segment provides banking services to niche markets. These CBLs are managed centrally and are broader in geographic scope, though still predominately within our core market areas. Corporate & Other consists of corporate-related items, income and expense items not allocated to our other reportable segments, and inter-segment eliminations.
Key management metrics for evaluating the performance of the Company's Arizona, Nevada, California and Central Business Lines segments include loan and deposit growth, asset quality, and pre-tax income.
Arizona reported a gross loan balance of $2.20 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of $74 million during the quarter, and an increase of $180 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Deposits were $2.08 billion at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $38 million during the quarter, and an increase of $77 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Pre-tax income was $14.8 million and $44.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Nevada reported a gross loan balance of $1.68 billion at September 30, 2014, a decrease of $3 million during the quarter, and a decrease of $74 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Deposits were $3.19 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of $6 million during the quarter, and an increase of $271 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Pre-tax income was $21.2 million and $55.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
California reported a gross loan balance of $1.73 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of $31 million during the quarter, and an increase of $110 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Deposits were $2.35 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of $289 million during the quarter, and an increase of $405 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Pre-tax income was $13.4 million and $37.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Central Business Lines reported a gross loan balance of $2.26 billion at September 30, 2014, an increase of $313 million during the quarter, and an increase of $914 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Deposits were $906 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $20 million during the quarter, and an increase of $138 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Pre-tax income was $9.6 million and $21.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains both financial measures based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP based financial measures, which are used where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Western Alliance Bancorporation’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this press release. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Early Adoption of Accounting Standards
Effective as of the first quarter 2014, the Company elected early adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 323-740, an amended Financial Accounting Standards Board standard related to accounting for low income housing tax credit investments. Under this amended standard, the amortization of the investment may now be calculated under the proportional amortization method and is included in income tax expense rather than as a separate line item in non-interest income. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect the adoption of this new accounting guidance, which has resulted in an increase in non-interest income and income tax expense. See the supplemental schedule at the end of the Q1 2014 press release for additional detail on the impact that adoption of this standard has had on prior period financial information.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains forward-looking statements that relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding guidance, outlook or expectations relating to our business, financial and operating results, and future economic performance. The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect our current views about future events and financial performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from historical results and those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical or expected results include, among others: the risk factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or locally in the areas in which we conduct or will conduct our business; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; increases in competitive pressures among financial institutions and businesses offering similar products and services; higher defaults on our loan portfolio than we expect; changes in management’s estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses; legislative or regulatory changes or changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; supervisory actions by regulatory agencies which may limit our ability to pursue certain growth opportunities; management’s estimates and projections of interest rates and interest rate policy; the execution of our business plan; and other factors affecting the financial services industry generally or the banking industry in particular.
Any forward-looking statement made by us in this release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not intend and disclaim any duty or obligation to update or revise any industry information or forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, set forth in this press release to reflect new information, future events or otherwise.

(1) We believe these non-GAAP measurements provide a useful indication of the cash generating capacity of the Company.
(2) We believe this non-GAAP measurement is a key indicator of the earnings power of the Company.
(3) We believe the non-GAAP ratios provide an important metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
(4) 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.
(5) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a useful metric to measure the operating efficiency of the Company.
(6) Under the current guidelines of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Tier 1 capital consists 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.
(7) 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 divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio. We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides an important metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
(8) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides an important regulatory metric to analyze asset quality.
(9) Current quarter is preliminary until Call Reports are filed.
