ROSEMONT, Ill., July 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wintrust Financial Corporation (“Wintrust” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq:WTFC) announced net income of $64.9 million or $1.11 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $58.4 million or $1.00 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 2017 and $50.0 million or $0.90 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2016. The Company recorded net income of $123.3 million or $2.11 per diluted common share for the first six months of 2017 compared to net income of $99.2 million or $1.80 per diluted common share for the same period of 2016.

Highlights of the Second Quarter of 2017 *

Total assets increased by $1.2 billion from the prior quarter and now total $26.9 billion.
Total loans, excluding covered loans and mortgage loans held-for-sale, increased by $812 million from the prior quarter.
Total deposits increased $875 million to $22.6 billion. Non-interest bearing deposit accounts now comprise 28% of total deposits.
Mortgage banking revenue increased $14.0 million to $35.9 million.
Net interest margin increased primarily as a result of the recent rate increases in March and June of 2017. This increase as well as growth in earning assets drove the $11.8 million increase in net interest income over the prior quarter.
Return on average assets increased to 1.00% from 0.94%.
Net overhead ratio decreased to 1.44% from 1.60%, below our stated goal of 1.50%.
Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans, excluding covered loans, decreased to 0.33% from 0.40% in the first quarter of 2017. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans, excluding covered loans, increased to 188% from 159% in the prior quarter.
The return on average common equity in the current quarter increased to 9.55% from 8.93% in the first quarter of 2017. On April 27, 2017, the Company caused the mandatory conversion of the remaining shares of the Company's Series C preferred stock into 3.1 million shares of the Company's common stock.
Reduced the estimated FDIC indemnification liability by $4.9 million primarily as a result of an adjustment related to clawback provisions within certain loss-sharing agreements.

Edward J. Wehmer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Wintrust reported record net income of $64.9 million for the second quarter of 2017 and net income of $123.3 million for the first six months of 2017. These results reflected the continued strength of the internal growth engine at Wintrust as we grew assets organically by over $1 billion while still controlling operating expenses with our net overhead ratio dropping to 1.44%. The second quarter of 2017 was also characterized by our strong deposit growth, increased net interest margin, improved credit quality metrics and strength in our mortgage banking business."

Mr. Wehmer continued, “We experienced strong loan growth among our various loan categories, including the commercial, commercial real-estate and premium finance receivables portfolios. Excluding covered loans and mortgage loans held-for-sale, we grew our loan portfolio by $812 million during the second quarter. The increased loan volume and continued improvement in net interest margin from recent interest rate increases during the period helped net interest income increase by $11.8 million. Our loan pipelines remain consistently strong and we remain well positioned for expected rising rates in the future. Deposit growth was strong in the second quarter of 2017 as deposits increased $875 million and exceeded $22 billion as of the end of the second quarter. Total deposit growth included $503 million of growth from demand deposits, which now total $6.3 billion and comprise 28% of our overall deposit base."

Commenting on credit quality, Mr. Wehmer noted, “During the second quarter of 2017, the Company continued its practice of timely addressing and resolving non-performing credits. Excluding covered assets, total non-performing assets decreased $10.4 million during the second quarter of 2017 resulting in non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets dropping from 0.46% to 0.40% during the period. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans, excluding covered loans, decreased to 0.33% at the end of the second quarter of 2017 compared to 0.40% at the end of the first quarter of 2017. As a percentage of non-performing loans, the allowance for loan losses, excluding covered loans, increased to 188% during the second quarter of 2017. Net charge-offs remained at historically low levels with net charge-offs as a percentage of total average loans, excluding covered loans, of 0.10% during the second quarter of 2017. We believe that the Company's reserves remain appropriate."

Mr. Wehmer further commented, “Mortgage banking revenue in the second quarter of 2017 totaled $35.9 million, an increase of $14.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2017. The mortgage banking business unit's contribution to increased net income during the second quarter primarily resulted from origination volumes growing to $1.1 billion from $722 million in the previous quarter as a result of higher purchase originations during the traditional spring purchase market. Purchases represented 84% of volume for the second quarter of 2017. Our mortgage pipeline remains strong. We continue to look for opportunities to further enhance the mortgage banking business both organically and through acquisitions."

Turning to the future, Mr. Wehmer stated, “Our growth engine continued into the second quarter of 2017 with strong momentum. Loan growth at the end of the second quarter should add to momentum into the third quarter as period-end loan balances, excluding covered loans and mortgage loans held-for-sale, exceeded the second quarter average balances by approximately $478 million. We continue to take a steady and measured approach to achieving our main objectives of growing franchise value, increasing profitability, leveraging our expense infrastructure and increasing shareholder value. Evaluating strategic acquisitions 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. Our opportunities for both internal growth and external growth remain consistently strong."

(1) Net revenue is net interest income plus non-interest income.
(2) See "Supplemental Financial Measures/Ratios" for additional information on this performance measure/ratio.
(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.

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.”

Potentially dilutive common shares can result from stock options, restricted stock unit awards, stock warrants, the Company’s convertible preferred stock and shares to be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Directors Deferred Fee and Stock Plan, being treated as if they had been either exercised or issued, computed by application of the treasury stock method. While potentially dilutive common shares are typically included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from this computation in periods in which the effect would reduce the loss per share or increase the income per share. For diluted earnings per share, net income applicable to common shares can be affected by the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock. Where the effect of this conversion would reduce the loss per share or increase the income per share for a period, net income applicable to common shares is not adjusted by the associated preferred dividends. On April 25, 2017, 2,073 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were converted at the option of the respective holder into 51,244 shares of the Company's common stock, pursuant to the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock. On April 27, 2017, the Company caused a mandatory conversion of its remaining 124,184 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 3,069,828 shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion rate of 24.72 shares of common stock per share of Series C Preferred Stock. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares for an amount considered insignificant.

SUPPLEMENTAL 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 common book value per 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 (“FTE”) basis. In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. Net interest income on a FTE 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios used by the Company to evaluate and measure the Company’s performance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the last five quarters.

BUSINESS UNIT SUMMARY

Community Banking

Through its community banking franchise, 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 2017, profitability within this franchise was primarily driven by increased net interest income due to a higher net interest margin and higher revenue from the mortgage banking business. The net interest margin increased in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of higher yields on the commercial (excluding lease loans) and commercial real-estate loan portfolios as well as liquidity management assets, partially offset by higher rates on interest-bearing deposits. Mortgage banking revenue increased by $14.0 million from $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2017 to $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2017. The higher revenue was due to originations during the current period increasing to $1.1 billion from $722.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 as a result of higher purchase originations during the traditional spring purchase market. Purchases represented 84% of volume for the second quarter of 2017. The Company's gross commercial and commercial real estate loan pipelines remain strong. Before the impact of scheduled payments and prepayments, at June 30, 2017, gross commercial and commercial real estate loan pipelines totaled $1.2 billion, or $796.8 million when adjusted for the probability of closing, compared to $1.5 billion, or $934 million when adjusted for the probability of closing, at March 31, 2017.

Specialty Finance

Through its specialty finance unit, the Company offers financing of insurance premiums for businesses and individuals, accounts receivable financing, value-added, out-sourced administrative services, and other specialty finance businesses. In the second quarter of 2017, the specialty finance unit experienced higher revenue as a result of increased volumes and higher yields within its insurance premium financing receivables portfolio. Originations of $1.9 billion during the second quarter of 2017 resulted in a $214.7 million increase in average balances. The increase in average balances along with higher yields on these loans resulted in a $4.2 million increase in interest income attributed to this portfolio. The Company's leasing business continued to grow during the second quarter of 2017, increasing its portfolio of assets, including capital leases, loans and equipment on operating leases, by $129.5 million since the end of the first quarter of 2017. Revenues from the Company's out-sourced administrative services business remained steady, totaling approximately $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 and first quarter of 2017.

Wealth Management

Through its wealth management unit, the Company offers a full range of wealth management services through three separate subsidiaries: trust and investment services, asset management, securities brokerage services and 401(k) and retirement plan services. At June 30, 2017, the Company’s wealth management subsidiaries had approximately $23.3 billion of assets under administration, which includes $2.6 billion of assets owned by the Company and its subsidiary banks, representing a $364.2 million increase from the $22.9 billion of assets under administration at March 31, 2017.

For the first six months of 2017 net interest income totaled $397.0 million, an increase of $50.2 million as compared to the first six months of 2016. Net interest margin was 3.38% (3.41% on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the first six months of 2017 compared to 3.26% (3.29% on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the first six months of 2016.

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 at June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 is as follows:


Static Shock Scenario	+200 Basis Points		+100 Basis Points		-100 Basis Points
June 30, 2017	19.3	%	10.4	%	(13.5	)%
March 31, 2017	17.7	%	9.3	%	(13.2	)%
June 30, 2016	16.9	%	8.9	%	(8.9	)%

Ramp Scenario	+200 Basis Points		+100 Basis Points		-100 Basis Points
June 30, 2017	7.8	%	4.0	%	(4.6	)%
March 31, 2017	7.3	%	3.9	%	(4.8	)%
June 30, 2016	7.0	%	3.5	%	(3.7	)%

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).

As noted in the table on the previous page, the majority of the Company’s portfolio is tied to LIBOR indices which, as shown in the table above, do not simulate the same increases as the prime rate or the federal funds rate when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. Specifically, the Company has $6.5 billion of variable rate loans tied to one-month LIBOR and $3.5 billion of variable rate loans tied to twelve-month LIBOR. The above chart shows that the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 bps in the fourth quarter of 2016, and the first and second quarters of 2017, and during those periods one-month LIBOR increased by 24 bps, 21 bps and 24 bps respectively, while twelve-month LIBOR increased by 14 bps and 11 bps and then decreased by 6 bps in the most recent period. As a result of longer term rates remaining relatively flat in recent months, the Company’s repricing benefit on variable rates loans tied to twelve-month LIBOR has been limited.

Notable contributions to the change in non-interest income are as follows:

The decrease in wealth management revenue during the current period as compared to the first quarter of 2017 resulted from lower customer trading activity in the current quarter. The increase in wealth management revenue during the current period as compared to the second quarter of 2016 is primarily attributable to growth in assets under management due to new customers. Wealth management revenue is comprised of the trust and asset management revenue of The Chicago Trust Company and Great Lakes Advisors and the brokerage commissions, managed money fees and insurance product commissions at Wayne Hummer Investments.

The increase in mortgage banking revenue in the current quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2017 resulted primarily from higher origination volumes in the current quarter. Mortgage loans originated or purchased for sale increased during the current quarter, totaling $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2017 as compared to $722.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2016. Mortgage banking revenue includes revenue from activities related to originating, selling and servicing residential real estate loans for the secondary market. Mortgage revenue is also impacted by changes in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") as the Company does not hedge this change in fair value. The Company typically originates mortgage loans held-for-sale with associated MSRs either retained or released. The Company records MSRs at fair value on a recurring basis. The table below presents additional selected information regarding mortgage banking revenue for the respective periods.

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. Fees from covered call options decreased in the current quarter compared to the second quarter of 2016, primarily as a result of selling call options against a smaller value of underlying securities resulting in lower premiums received by the Company. There were no outstanding call option contracts at June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 or June 30, 2016.

The increase in operating lease income in the current quarter compared to the prior period quarters is primarily related to growth in business from the Company's leasing divisions during the second quarter of 2017.

The increase in other non-interest income in the current quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2017 is primarily due to a reduction in the estimated FDIC indemnification liability of $4.9 million and higher interest rate swap fees, partially offset by lower gains on early pay-offs of leases.

Notable contributions to the change in non-interest expense are as follows:

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of higher incentive compensation on variable pay based arrangements (including mortgage banking commissions), partially offset by lower benefits.

The increase in operating lease equipment depreciation in the current quarter compared to the prior period quarters is primarily related to growth in business from the Company's leasing divisions during the second quarter of 2017.

The increase in advertising and marketing expenses during the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2017 is primarily related to the higher expenses for community advertisements and sponsorships and printing costs. Marketing costs are incurred to promote the Company's brand, commercial banking capabilities, the Company's various products, to attract loans and deposits and to announce new branch openings as well as the expansion of the company's non-bank businesses. The level of marketing expenditures depends on the timing of sponsorship programs and type of marketing programs utilized which are determined based on the market area, targeted audience, competition and various other factors.

The increase in professional fees during the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2017 is primarily related to legal and consulting fees. Professional fees include legal, audit and tax fees, external loan review costs, consulting arrangements and normal regulatory exam assessments.

The increase in miscellaneous expenses during the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2017 is primarily a result of higher 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.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $37.0 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $29.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 and $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. The effective tax rates were 36.34% in second quarter of 2017, 33.67% in the first quarter of 2017 and 37.43% in the second quarter of 2016. The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2017 was primarily a result of recording $3.4 million of excess tax benefits related to the adoption of new accounting rules over income taxes attributed to share-based compensation that became effective on January 1, 2017. These excess tax benefits are expected to be higher in the first quarter when the majority of the Company's share-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.

The allowance for credit losses, excluding the allowance for covered loan 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, excluding the provision for covered loan 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 loans, excluding covered loans, for the second quarter of 2017 totaled ten basis points on an annualized basis compared to three basis points on an annualized basis in the first quarter of 2017 and eleven basis points on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2016. Net charge-offs totaled $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2017, a $3.7 million increase from $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 and a $346,000 increase from $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2016. The provision for credit losses, excluding the provision for covered loan losses, totaled $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to $5.3 million for the first quarter of 2017 and $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2016.

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.

The Company also provides a provision for covered loan losses on covered loans and maintains an allowance for covered loan losses on covered loans.

The following table presents the provision for credit losses and allowance for credit losses by component for the periods presented, including covered loans:

(2) Purchased loans represent loans reported in accordance with ASC 310-20 and ASC 310-30.

In addition to the $129.6 million of allowance for loan losses, there is $6.7 million of non-accretable credit discount on purchased loans reported in accordance with ASC 310-30, excluding covered loans, that is available to absorb credit losses.

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 was shown on the preceding tables as of June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017.

The increase in the allowance for loan losses to core loans in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to $458.7 million core loan portfolio growth.

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 instead of as an increase to the allowance for loan losses.

(1) As of the dates shown, no TDRs were past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest.

(2) Non-accrual loans included TDRs totaling $5.1 million, $11.3 million and $16.3 million as of June 30, 2017, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.40% as of June 30, 2017, compared to 0.46% at March 31, 2017, and 0.52% at June 30, 2016. Non-performing assets, excluding covered assets and non-covered PCI loans, totaled $108.9 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $119.4 million at March 31, 2017 and $126.6 million at June 30, 2016. Non-performing loans, excluding covered loans and non-covered PCI loans, totaled $69.1 million, or 0.33% of total loans, at June 30, 2017 compared to $79.0 million, or 0.40% of total loans, at March 31, 2017 and $88.1 million, or 0.48% of total loans, at June 30, 2016. The decrease in non-performing loans, excluding covered loans and non-covered PCI loans, compared to March 31, 2017 is primarily the result of a $4.2 million decrease in the commercial portfolio and a $3.8 million decrease in the commercial real estate portfolio. OREO, excluding covered OREO, of $39.4 million at June 30, 2017 decreased $503,000 compared to $39.9 million at March 31, 2017 and increased $1.3 million compared to $38.1 million at June 30, 2016.

Management is pursuing the resolution of all credits in this category. At this time, management believes reserves are appropriate to absorb inherent losses that are expected upon the ultimate resolution of these credits.

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 2016 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.

Actual results could differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including the following:

negative economic conditions that adversely affect the economy, housing prices, the job market and other factors that may affect the Company’s liquidity and the performance of its loan portfolios, particularly in the markets in which it operates;
the extent of defaults and losses on the Company’s loan portfolio, which may require further increases in its allowance for credit losses;

the financial success and economic viability of the borrowers of our commercial loans;
commercial real estate market conditions in the Chicago metropolitan area and southern Wisconsin;

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, including those resulting from our loss-sharing arrangements with the FDIC;
any negative perception of the Company’s reputation or financial strength;
ability of the Company to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed;
disruption in capital markets, which may lower fair values for the Company’s investment portfolio;
ability of the Company to use technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands and create efficiencies in operations and to manage risks associated therewith;
adverse effects on our information technology systems resulting from failures, human error or cyberattack, any of which could result in an information or security breach, the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary information, significant legal and financial losses and reputational harm;
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;

(1) Net revenue includes net interest income and non-interest income.
(2) See “Supplemental Financial Measures/Ratios” for additional information on this performance measure/ratio.
(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 total average assets. A lower ratio indicates a higher degree of efficiency.
(4) Capital ratios for current quarter-end are estimated. As of January 1, 2015 capital ratios are calculated under the requirements of Basel III.
(5) The allowance for credit losses includes both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded lending-related commitments, but excluding the allowance for covered loan losses.
(6) Asset quality ratios exclude covered loans.
