Performance Highlights

• New loans grew by $971 million during the second quarter of 2014, excluding the impact of the sale of $303 million of indirect auto loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, new loans increased by $2.1 billion excluding the impact of the sale of indirect auto loans.
• Total deposits increased by $913 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to $12.0 billion, reflecting growth across all deposit categories. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, total deposits grew by $1.5 billion.
• The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 4.67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 6.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and 5.05% for the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2014. The net interest margin continues to be impacted by the origination of new loans at current market yields lower than those on the covered loan portfolio.
• Loss sharing under the terms of BankUnited, N.A.’s Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement with the FDIC terminated on May 22, 2014. At June 30, 2014, the Company’s loan portfolio included commercial and consumer ACI loans with a carrying value of $102 million and the investment portfolio included securities with a carrying value of $204 million formerly covered under the terms of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.
• The Company terminated its indirect auto lending activities and sold substantially all of its indirect auto loan portfolio in the second quarter of 2014.
• Book value and tangible book value per common share grew to $19.82 and $19.14, respectively, at June 30, 2014.

Capital

The Company and its banking subsidiary continue to exceed all regulatory guidelines required to be considered well capitalized. The Company’s regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2014 were as follows:

Tier 1 leverage		11.6	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital		17.7	%
Total risk-based capital		18.5	%

Loans and Leases

Loans, net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs, increased to $10.6 billion at June 30, 2014 from $9.1 billion at December 31, 2013. New loans totaled $9.3 billion at June 30, 2014 while covered loans declined to $1.2 billion at June 30, 2014 from $1.5 billion at December 31, 2013.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, new commercial loans, including commercial loans, commercial real estate loans and leases, grew $792 million to $7.2 billion, reflecting the continued success of lending operations in New York as well as continued growth in the portfolios of the Company's Florida franchise and lending subsidiaries. New residential loans grew by $159 million to $2.1 billion during the second quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of the continuation of the Company’s residential loan purchase program.

The Company terminated its indirect auto lending activities and sold indirect auto loans with a recorded investment of $303 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, comprising substantially all of the indirect auto portfolio. The impact of this transaction on pre-tax earnings was a net increase of $2.2 million, inclusive of the gain on sale, exit costs and elimination of the related allowance for loan losses.

The New York franchise contributed $344 million to new loan growth for the quarter while the Florida franchise contributed $305 million. The Company's national platforms contributed $322 million of new loan growth, excluding the impact of the sale of indirect auto loans. We refer to our three commercial lending subsidiaries, our mortgage warehouse lending operations, and our residential loan purchase program as national platforms. At June 30, 2014, the new loan portfolio included $3.8 billion, $2.3 billion and $3.2 billion attributable to the Florida franchise, the New York franchise and the national platforms, respectively.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remains strong. The ratio of non-performing, non-covered loans to total non-covered loans was 0.21% at June 30, 2014 as compared to 0.31% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of total non-performing loans to total loans was 0.27% at June 30, 2014 as compared to 0.39% at December 31, 2013. The ratio of the allowance for non-covered loan and lease losses to non-performing, non-covered loans was 353.34% at June 30, 2014 compared to 246.73% at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, non-performing assets totaled $49.1 million, including $21.0 million of OREO, as compared to $76.2 million, including $40.6 million of OREO, at December 31, 2013. At June 30, 2014, 60% of total non-performing assets were covered assets.

For the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $7.2 million and $4.9 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.9 million and $(3.0) million, respectively, related to covered loans, and $6.3 million and $7.8 million, respectively, related to new loans.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $15.6 million and $16.8 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $1.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to covered loans, and $13.9 million and $15.0 million, respectively, related to new loans.

The provision related to new loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 reflects growth in the new loan portfolio, after consideration of a reduction in the allowance of $2.7 million related to the sale of the indirect auto portfolio.

The provisions for (recoveries of) loan losses related to covered loans were significantly mitigated by offsetting increases or decreases in non-interest income recorded in “Net loss on indemnification asset.”

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

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2014																Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Credit risk continues to be limited, though to a declining extent, by the Loss Sharing Agreements with the FDIC. At June 30, 2014, covered loans represented 11% of the total loan portfolio.

Deposits

At June 30, 2014, deposits totaled $12.0 billion compared to $10.5 billion at December 31, 2013. Demand deposits, including non-interest bearing and interest bearing deposits, comprised 25% of total deposits at June 30, 2014. The average cost of deposits was 0.61% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 0.64% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and 0.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 0.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was attributable to both the growth in average non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of average total deposits and a decline in rates. Excluding the impact of hedge accounting and accretion of fair value adjustments, the average cost of deposits was 0.56% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 increased to $165.9 million from $164.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $332.3 million as compared to $317.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 4.67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 6.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 4.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 6.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Significant factors impacting this expected trend in net interest margin for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 included:

• The tax-equivalent yield on loans declined to 6.48% and 6.75%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 10.28% and 10.40% for the corresponding periods in 2013, primarily because new loans, originated at yields lower than those on the covered loan portfolio, comprised a greater percentage of total loans.
• The yield on new loans decreased to 3.55% and 3.57%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 3.87% and 3.94% for the corresponding periods in 2013, primarily reflecting the impact of lower interest rates on new production over the last year.

• The yield on loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition (as defined below) decreased to 26.62% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 from 26.86% for the corresponding period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the yield on loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition increased to 26.33% from 25.47% as compared to the corresponding period in 2013.
• The average rate on interest bearing liabilities declined to 0.87% and 0.88%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 0.95% and 0.97% for the corresponding periods in 2013, primarily due to lower rates.
• Non-interest bearing deposits comprised a greater percentage of average total deposits for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2013. Average non-interest bearing deposits were 19% and 20% of average total deposits for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 17% and 16% of average total deposits for the corresponding periods in 2013.

Interest income included proceeds of $7.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively, from the sale of loans from a pool of ACI loans carried at zero for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, and $15.5 million and $25.8 million for the corresponding periods in 2013. The impact of sales of loans from this pool is expected to continue to decline.

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 of 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

Balance at December 31, 2012		$	1,286,066
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference		282,952
Accretion		(410,446		)
Balance at December 31, 2013		1,158,572
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference		103,523
Accretion		(175,860		)
Balance at June 30, 2014		$	1,086,235

Non-interest income

Non-interest income totaled $20.5 million and $50.7 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $13.2 million and $33.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.

The consolidated statement of income line items Provision for (recovery of) losses on covered loans; Income from resolution of covered assets, net; Gain (loss) on sale of covered loans; Loss on covered investment securities available for sale and Gain (loss) on covered other real estate owned relate to transactions in the covered assets. The line item Net loss on indemnification asset represents the mitigating impact of FDIC indemnification on gains and losses arising from these transactions in the covered assets. The impact on pre-tax earnings of these transactions, net of FDIC indemnification, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $4.8 million and $22.3 million, respectively, compared to $6.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Income from resolution of covered assets, net was $12.2 million and $25.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $20.6 million and $39.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease in income resulted mainly from lower income from commercial recoveries and residential paid in full resolutions, offset in part by lower losses on foreclosure and short sale resolutions.

The Company recognized gains (losses) on the sale of covered loans of $(0.4) million and $18.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to losses of $(4.3) million and $(5.1) million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company sold covered commercial and consumer loans and commercial OREO in the first quarter of 2014, in advance of the termination of commercial loss sharing in May 2014. The following table summarizes the impact of these sales on pre-tax income as reflected in the consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Gain on sale of covered loans		$	17,971
Provision for loan losses on transfer to loans held for sale		(3,469		)
Loss on sale of OREO		(524		)
Loss on indemnification asset		(1,737		)
		$	12,241

Gains were recognized on these sales due primarily to better than expected pricing. Covered residential loans continue to be sold on a quarterly basis. Gains (losses) of $(0.4) million and $1.0 million, respectively, were recognized on the sale of covered residential loans in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to losses of $(4.3) million and $(5.1) million recognized in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. Improvements in the results of the sales were primarily due to improved pricing.

Net loss on indemnification asset was $5.9 million and $22.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $17.7 million and $29.4 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. Variances in net loss on indemnification asset are directly related to variances in income from resolution of covered assets, the gain (loss) on sale of covered loans, loss on covered investment securities available for sale, the provision for (recovery of) losses on covered loans and gain (loss) on covered OREO.

Gains on investment securities available for sale for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 related primarily to sales of securities to fund loan originations. Securities gains for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also included gains from the sale of securities in conjunction with the merger of Herald National Bank into BankUnited.

Other non-interest income increased to $8.9 million and $18.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 from $5.3 million and $10.6 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. The most significant factor impacting the trend in other non-interest income was increases of $2.6 and $5.5 million in rental income on operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense totaled $106.6 million and $209.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $85.5 million and $168.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Increased compensation and occupancy and equipment expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 related to the Company’s overall growth and its expansion into New York.

Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset was $15.2 million and $30.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $7.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. As the expected cash flows from ACI loans have increased, expected cash flows from the FDIC indemnification asset have decreased, ultimately resulting in a negative yield on the FDIC indemnification asset.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, foreclosure and OREO expense was $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, as compared to $3.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, (gain) loss on OREO, net was $0.2 million and $(2.5) million, respectively, as compared to $(5.7) million and $(5.4) million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. These changes reflect continuing trends of lower levels of OREO and foreclosure activity.

Provision for income taxes

The effective income tax rate decreased to 33.1% and 34.4% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, from 37.9% and 38.4% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. These decreases primarily reflect the impact of increases in tax-exempt income, reductions in liabilities for uncertain state tax positions and benefits resulting from state tax law changes in the first quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

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 June 30, 2014 (in thousands except share and per share data):

Total stockholders’ equity		$	2,014,572
Less: goodwill and other intangible assets		68,737
Tangible stockholders’ equity		$	1,945,835
Common stock shares issued and outstanding		101,650,857
Book value per common share		$	19.82
Tangible book value per common share		$	19.14

About BankUnited, Inc. and the FSB Acquisition

BankUnited, Inc., with total assets of $17.0 billion at June 30, 2014, is the bank holding company of BankUnited, N.A., a national bank headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida with 99 branches in 15 Florida counties and 6 banking centers in the New York metropolitan area at June 30, 2014.

The Company was organized by a management team led by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, John A. Kanas, in 2009. 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 $4.2 billion. The Company has received $2.6 billion from the FDIC in reimbursements under the Loss Sharing Agreements for claims filed for incurred losses as of June 30, 2014.
