RALEIGH, N.C., May 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares") (NASDAQ:FCNCA) reported earnings for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Chairman and CEO Frank B. Holding, Jr. said: "We are pleased with our solid financial performance in the first quarter, marked by continued momentum across all our lines of business. Since the completion of our acquisition of certain assets and liabilities of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. on March 27, 2023, we have made strides to integrate our two companies, including meaningful engagement with key Silicon Valley Bank leaders and clients. Building on the considerable strengths Silicon Valley Bank brings to the business, including exceptional talent and expertise, significant scale, geographic diversity, and meaningful solutions for customers, we are confident we will continue to deliver long-term value for our shareholders. In an environment of macroeconomic challenges and uncertainties, we continue to operate with solid capital and liquidity positions. We remain encouraged by the resiliency of our clients in the face of elevated inflation and rising interest rates and we look forward to continuing to support them."

PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION OF CERTAIN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF SILICON VALLEY BRIDGE BANK FROM THE FDIC

On March 27, 2023, BancShares announced that through its banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, it assumed all customer deposits and certain other liabilities and acquired substantially all loans and certain other assets of Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. (the "Acquisition"), as successor to Silicon Valley Bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"). In connection with the Acquisition, BancShares identified a new business segment (the "SVB segment") which includes the assets, liabilities and results of operations related to the Acquisition.
The Acquisition included total assets with estimated fair values of approximately $106.60 billion and total loans with estimated fair values of approximately $68.50 billion, including Global Fund Banking, Private Bank, and the Technology & Life Science and Healthcare loan portfolios and $35.28 billion in cash and interest-earning deposits at banks. BancShares also assumed approximately $55.96 billion in customer deposits and entered into a five-year note payable to the FDIC (the "Purchase Money Note") of approximately $35.15 billion, bearing an interest rate of 3.50%. The deposits were acquired without a premium and the assets were acquired at a discount of $16.45 billion.
In connection with the Acquisition, BancShares granted the FDIC a value appreciation instrument with a value of up to $500 million payable in cash. The FDIC exercised its option on March 28, 2023, and BancShares paid the FDIC $500 million in cash in April of 2023.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The results for the first quarter include the Acquisition. Measures referenced as adjusted below are non-GAAP financial measures (refer to the supporting tables for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure). Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $9.52 billion compared to $257 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was $9.50 billion, or $653.64 per diluted common share, compared to $243 million, or $16.67 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2022.

As a result of the Acquisition, net income includes a preliminary gain on acquisition of $9.82 billion (net of tax) , a provision for acquired non-purchased credit deteriorated ("non-PCD") loan and lease losses of $462 million and a provision for unfunded commitments of $254 million. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $292 million, or $20.09 per diluted common share, down from $306 million, or $20.94 per diluted common share in the fourth quarter of 2022.

First quarter 2023 results were impacted by the following items:

Preliminary gain on acquisition of $9.82 billion (net of tax) related to the acquisition,
Provision for acquired non-PCD loan and lease losses of $462 million and a provision for unfunded commitments of $254 million related to the Acquisition,
Acquisition-related expenses of $28 million,
Realized loss on the sale of an investment security of $14 million,
Unrealized loss on fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities of $9 million,
Intangible asset amortization of $5 million,
Gain on sale of leasing equipment of $4 million, and
Provision for credit losses on investment securities available for sale of $4 million.

The following bullets highlight significant changes in the components of net income and adjusted net income between the first quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2022:

Net interest income totaled $850 million, up from $802 million in the fourth quarter. The SVB segment contributed $65 million during the quarter.
Net interest margin was 3.41%, an increase of 5 basis points over the fourth quarter, as the rising interest rate environment increased yields on our earning assets coupled with average loan growth, partially offset by higher rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings.
Noninterest income totaled $10.26 billion compared to $429 million in the fourth quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $9.82 billion gain on acquisition. Adjusted noninterest income totaled $309 million compared to $290 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $19 million. The increase was primarily due a $14 million gain on customer derivative positions, a $7 million increase in wealth management services due to increased brokerage transactions and higher assets under management, a $4 million increase in fee income associated with higher capital markets fees, and a $8 million increase spread among various items, partially offset by a $7 million decline in factoring commissions, a $5 million decrease in cardholder services, and a $2 million decline in income from bank-owned life insurance.
Noninterest expense totaled $855 million compared to $760 million in the fourth quarter. Adjusted noninterest expense totaled $677 million compared to $590 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $87 million. The increases in noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense were primarily the result of higher personnel costs of $66 million due to seasonal adjustments associated with the savings plan and payroll taxes, promotions and annual merit adjustments, a $13 million increase in FDIC insurance expense, the impact from the SVB segment, and a $14 million increase spread among various items, partially offset by a $6 million decrease in marketing expenses in the Direct Bank.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

Loans totaled $138.29 billion, an increase of $67.51 billion compared to $70.78 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to SVB segment loans of $66.17 billion as of March 31, 2023. The remaining $1.3 billion increase occurred among various businesses, including Mortgage, Commercial Services, Real Estate Finance and Retail Services. The yield on loans was 5.57% for the first quarter compared to 5.10% in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Deposits totaled $140.05 billion, an increase of $50.64 billion compared to $89.41 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to SVB segment deposits of $49.26 billion as of March 31, 2023. The remaining $1.26 billion increase was due to a $2.32 billion increase in time deposits and a $1.3 billion increase in savings account balances, partially offset by a $914 million decrease in money market deposits, a $472 million decrease in checking with interest accounts, and a $817 million decline in noninterest bearing deposits driven by a reduction in commercial deposit balances. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 39.0% of total deposits as of March 31, 2023, compared to 27.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2022. The cost of average total deposits was 1.24% for the first quarter, up 46 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.
Total borrowings increased $39.45 billion during the quarter, primarily due to the $35.15 billion Purchase Money Note related to the Acquisition and the $4.25 billion increase in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY

Provision for credit losses totaled $783 million compared to $79 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of $704 million. The increase was primarily related to the Acquisition, which included provisions for credit losses of $462 million for non-PCD loans and $254 million for unfunded commitments. Adjusted provision for credit losses totaled $63 million compared to $79 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $16 million. The decrease was due to a $23 million decrease in the reserve for unfunded commitments and a $19 million decrease in reserve build (from $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $21 million in the first quarter of 2023), partially offset by a $26 million increase in net charge-offs. The $21 million reserve build for the quarter was a result of loan growth and deterioration in credit quality, partially offset by portfolio mix and CECL macroeconomic forecasts. Net charge-offs totaled $50 million, or a ratio of 0.27% of average loans, compared to $24 million, or a ratio of 0.14% of average loans, during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Nonaccrual loans were $828 million or 0.60% of total loans, at March 31, 2023 compared to $627 million, or 0.89% of total loans at December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to $224 million of nonaccrual loans in the SVB segment at March 31, 2023.
Delinquencies at March 31, 2023 of $1.2 billion increased $349 million compared to December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily due to $206 million of delinquent loans in the SVB segment and an increase in past due commercial loans at March 31, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $1.6 billion, or 1.16% of total loans at March 31, 2023, an increase of $683 million from December 31, 2022. The Acquisition resulted in a $662 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, which included $200 million related to PCD loans and $462 million related to non-PCD loans. The remaining $21 million increase was primarily related to portfolio growth, mild credit quality deterioration, and higher specific reserves partially offset by improvement in the macroeconomic forecasts.

⁽¹⁾ Notable items include income and expense for infrequent transactions and certain recurring items (typically noncash) that Management believes should be excluded from adjusted measures (non-GAAP) to enhance understanding of operations and comparability to historical periods. Management utilizes both GAAP and adjusted measures (non-GAAP) to analyze the Company's performance. Refer to the Non-GAAP reconciliation table(s) at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

⁽²⁾ Depreciation and maintenance and other operating lease expenses are reclassified from noninterest expense to a reduction of rental income on operating lease equipment. There is no net impact to earnings for this notable item as adjusted noninterest income and expense are reduced by the same amount. Adjusted rental income on operating lease equipment (non-GAAP) is net of depreciation and maintenance expense for operating lease equipment. Management believes this measure enhances comparability to banking peers, primarily due to the extent of our rail and other equipment rental activities. Refer to the Non-GAAP reconciliation table(s) at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

⁽³⁾ Includes termination of two post retirement benefit plans.

⁽⁴⁾ 4Q22 includes $55 million of tax expense related to the early surrender of BOLI policies. During 4Q22, management decided to early surrender $1.2 billion of BOLI policies. This triggered a taxable gain of $160 million and resulted in tax expense of $55 million.

⁽⁵⁾ For the periods presented the income tax impact may include tax discrete items and changes in the estimated annualized effective tax rate.
