News Release

MIAMI LAKES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 25, 2017-- BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company reported net income of $62.3 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $54.9 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Rajinder Singh, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are happy to report another strong earnings quarter. Net income is up 13.5% from the comparable quarter of the prior year.”

Performance Highlights

• Net interest income increased by $23.8 million to $230.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from $206.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Interest income increased by $32.7 million, primarily driven by increases in the average balances of loans and investment securities outstanding. Interest expense increased by $9.0 million due primarily to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities.
• The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, increased to 3.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 3.67% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2016. The net interest margin was 3.83% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. The origination of new loans at current market yields lower than those on covered loans contributed to the decline in the net interest margin when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2016.
• Total deposits increased by $433 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 to $19.9 billion. New loans and leases, including equipment under operating lease, grew by $121 million during the quarter. Loan growth was negatively impacted during the quarter by seasonal trends in the mortgage warehouse and commercial and industrial lines of business.

• Book value per common share grew to $23.71 at March 31, 2017, a 9.1% increase from March 31, 2016. Tangible book value per common share increased by 9.5% over the same period, to $22.98 at March 31, 2017.

Capital

The Company and its banking subsidiary continue to exceed all regulatory guidelines required to be considered well capitalized. The Company’s and BankUnited, N.A.'s regulatory capital ratios at March 31, 2017 were as follows:

		BankUnited, Inc.			BankUnited, N.A.
Tier 1 leverage		8.7	%		9.5	%
Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") risk-based capital		11.8	%		13.0	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital		11.8	%		13.0	%
Total risk-based capital		12.6	%		13.8	%

Loans and Leases

Loans, including premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs, totaled $19.5 billion at March 31, 2017 compared to $19.4 billion at December 31, 2016. New loans grew to $18.8 billion while loans acquired in the FSB acquisition declined to $625 million at March 31, 2017.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, new commercial loans, including commercial real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and loans and leases originated by our commercial lending subsidiaries, declined by $125 million to $15.1 billion. Declines in mortgage warehouse balances of $121 million and in commercial real estate balances (excluding owner-occupied commercial real estate) of $67 million were offset by growth of $59 million in loans and leases at our commercial lending subsidiaries. Equipment under operating lease, net, grew by $19 million during the first quarter of 2017. New residential loans grew by $228 million to $3.7 billion during the first quarter of 2017.

The Company's national platforms and the Florida franchise contributed a net $180 million and $28 million, respectively, of loan growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 while balances for the New York franchise declined by $106 million, reflecting a decrease in commercial real estate balances outstanding. We refer to our commercial lending subsidiaries, our mortgage warehouse lending operations, the small business finance unit ("SBF") and our residential loan purchase program as national platforms. At March 31, 2017, the new loan portfolio included $6.5 billion, $6.3 billion and $6.0 billion attributable to the Florida franchise, the New York franchise and the national platforms, respectively.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

For the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $12.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, including provisions related to new loans of $11.3 million and $4.4 million. The provision related to taxi medallion loans totaled $9.5 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Factors contributing to the increase in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 were (i) the increase in the provision related to taxi medallion loans and (ii) an increase in the provision related to impaired loans in other portfolio segments, partially offset by (iii) a net decrease in the relative impact on the provision of changes in quantitative and qualitative loss factors and (iv) the impact of lower loan growth for the first quarter of 2017.

Non-covered, non-performing loans totaled $130.0 million or 0.69% of total non-covered loans at March 31, 2017 compared to $132.7 million or 0.71% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2016. Non-performing taxi medallion loans comprised $59.4 million or 0.31% of total non-covered loans at March 31, 2017 and $60.7 million or 0.32% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2016.

At March 31, 2017, total non-performing assets were $143.9 million, including $11.0 million of other real estate owned ("OREO") and other repossessed assets, compared to $149.0 million, including $13.1 million of OREO and other repossessed assets, at December 31, 2016. Non-covered, non-performing assets included $8.0 million and $8.4 million of OREO and other repossessed assets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The ratios of the allowance for non-covered loan and lease losses to total non-covered loans and to non-performing, non-covered loans were 0.79% and 114.14%, respectively, at March 31, 2017, compared to 0.80% and 113.68% at December 31, 2016. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average non-covered loans was 0.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 0.09% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The following tables summarize the activity in the allowance for loan and lease losses for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2017																Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
	ACI Loans				Non-ACI Loans				New Loans				Total				ACI Loans				Non-ACI Loans				New Loans				Total
Balance at beginning of period	$	—			$	2,100			$	150,853			$	152,953			$	—			$	4,868			$	120,960			$	125,828

Charge-offs	—				(55		)		(14,769		)		(14,824		)		—				(338		)		(3,808		)		(4,146		)

Balance at end of period	$	831			$	2,058			$	148,392			$	151,281			$	—			$	3,885			$	121,759			$	125,644

Charge-offs reflected in the tables above for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 include $5.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of taxi medallion loans.

Deposits

At March 31, 2017, deposits totaled $19.9 billion compared to $19.5 billion at December 31, 2016. The average cost of total deposits was 0.72% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to 0.69% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2016 and 0.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 increased to $230.6 million from $206.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Increases in interest income were partially offset by increases in interest expense. The increases in interest income were primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans, partially offset by a decline in the related average yield. Increases in the average balance of investment securities and related average yields also contributed to increased interest income. Interest expense increased due to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the cost of deposits.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to 3.67% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2016 and 3.83% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Significant factors impacting this expected decrease in net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 included:

• The tax-equivalent yield on loans declined to 5.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 5.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily because new loans, originated at yields lower than those on covered loans, comprised a greater percentage of total loans.
• The tax-equivalent yield on non-covered loans was 3.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 3.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
• The tax-equivalent yield on covered loans increased to 49.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 38.21% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
• The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 3.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 2.78% for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
• The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.98% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from 0.95% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, reflecting higher average rates on interest bearing deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average rate on FHLB advances.

The Company’s net interest margin continues to be impacted by reclassifications from non-accretable difference to accretable yield on ACI loans. Non-accretable difference at acquisition represented the difference between the total contractual payments due and the cash flows expected to be received on these loans. The accretable yield on ACI loans represented the amount by which undiscounted expected future cash flows exceeded the recorded investment in the loans. As the Company’s expected cash flows from ACI loans have increased since the FSB Acquisition, the Company has reclassified amounts from non-accretable difference to accretable yield.

Changes in accretable yield on ACI loans for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2015							$	902,565
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference							76,751
Accretion							(303,931		)
Balance at December 31, 2016							675,385
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference							28,519
Accretion							(75,251		)
Balance at March 31, 2017							$	628,653

Non-interest income

Non-interest income totaled $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Offsetting factors contributing to this increase included (i) an increase of $1.0 million in gain on sale of loans, net of the impact of FDIC indemnification, (ii) a $1.6 million decrease in securities gains, (iii) a $3.0 million increase in lease financing income, generally reflecting growth in the operating lease portfolio, and (iv) a $1.9 million increase related to fair value adjustments of residential mortgage servicing rights, included in other non-interest income.

An increase of $3.1 million in gain on sale of loans for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes a $0.6 million increase in gains on the sale of loans by SBF and a $2.6 million increase in gain on the sale of covered loans. The net loss on FDIC indemnification increased $2.1 million related to the sale of covered loans.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense totaled $156.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $142.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The most significant components of the increase in non-interest expense were a $4.8 million increase in amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset and a $4.2 million increase in employee compensation and benefits.

Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset was $44.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $39.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The amortization rate increased to 36.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 22.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As the expected cash flows from ACI loans have increased, expected cash flows from the FDIC indemnification asset have decreased, resulting in continued increases in the amortization rate.

Provision for income taxes

The effective income tax rate was 30.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 34.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% in both periods due primarily to the effect of income not subject to tax, offset by state income taxes. In addition, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 reflected the impact of $2.6 million in excess tax benefits resulting from activity related to vesting of share-based awards and exercise of stock options. A change in accounting standards related to stock based compensation requires the Company to recognize these excess tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes beginning January 1, 2017; previously these excess tax benefits were recognized in paid-in capital.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 base for comparability to other financial institutions. 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 March 31, 2017 (in thousands except share and per share data):

About BankUnited, Inc. and the FSB Acquisition

BankUnited, Inc., with total assets of $28.0 billion at March 31, 2017, is the bank holding company of BankUnited, N.A., a national bank headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida with 92 banking centers in 15 Florida counties and 6 banking centers in the New York metropolitan area at March 31, 2017.

On May 21, 2009, BankUnited acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all of the non-brokered deposits and substantially all other liabilities of BankUnited, FSB from the FDIC, in a transaction referred to as the FSB Acquisition. Concurrently with the FSB Acquisition, BankUnited entered into two loss sharing agreements, or the Loss Sharing Agreements, which covered certain legacy assets, including the entire legacy loan portfolio and OREO, and certain purchased investment securities. Assets covered by the Loss Sharing Agreements are referred to as “covered assets” (or, in certain cases, “covered loans”). The Loss Sharing Agreements do not apply to subsequently purchased or originated loans (“new loans”) or other assets. Effective May 22, 2014 and consistent with the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, loss share coverage was terminated for those commercial loans and OREO and certain investment securities that were previously covered under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, the covered assets are subject to a stated loss threshold whereby the FDIC will reimburse BankUnited for 80% of losses, including certain interest and expenses, up to the $4.0 billion stated threshold and 95% of losses in excess of the $4.0 billion stated threshold. The Company’s current estimate of cumulative losses on the covered assets is approximately $3.7 billion. The Company has received $2.7 billion from the FDIC in reimbursements under the Loss Sharing Agreements for claims filed for incurred losses as of March 31, 2017.
