RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- First Citizens BancShares, Inc. ("BancShares") (NASDAQ:FCNCA) reported earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Chairman and CEO Frank B. Holding, Jr. said: "We are proud of our continued strong financial performance in the second quarter as we drove momentum in our legacy business lines and began to realize the long-term strategic and financial value of our combination with SVB. Our performance was supported by the progress we made integrating SVB and our continuing efforts to provide stability and continuity for our clients and associates. We also continue to build on the strengths of our combined team, including leveraging SVB's deep innovation economy expertise and maintaining their unique approach to serving clients. As we navigate an uncertain macroeconomic environment, we remain focused on maintaining strong capital and liquidity positions as well as delivering long-term stockholder value."

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 $107.26 billion and total loans with estimated fair values of approximately $68.46 billion, including Global Fund Banking, Private Bank and the Technology & Life Science and Healthcare loan portfolios, and $35.31 billion in cash and interest-earning deposits at banks. BancShares also assumed approximately $55.90 billion in customer deposits and entered into a five-year note payable to the FDIC (the "Purchase Money Note") of approximately $36.07 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Results for the second quarter included a full quarter impact from 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 June 30, 2023, was $682 million compared to $9.52 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $667 million, or $45.87 per diluted common share, compared to $9.50 billion, or $653.64 per diluted common share in the first quarter of 2023.

As a result of the Acquisition, second quarter net income includes an increase to the preliminary gain on acquisition of $55 million (net of tax) as we refined our estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders was $765 million, or $52.60 per diluted common share, a $473 million increase from $292 million, or $20.09 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 2023.

Second quarter 2023 results were impacted by the following items which accounted for the difference between reported and adjusted net income described in the preceding paragraph:

Acquisition-related expenses of $205 million,
Additional preliminary gain on acquisition of $55 million (net of tax),
Intangible asset amortization of $18 million,
Unrealized loss on fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities of $10 million,
Gain on sale of leasing equipment of $4 million, and
Benefit for credit losses on investment securities available for sale of $1 million.

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

Net interest income totaled $1.96 billion, up from $850 million in the first quarter. The $1.11 billion increase in net interest income was due to a $1.74 billion increase in interest income, partially offset by a $631 million increase in interest expense.
The $1.74 billion increase in interest income was due to a $1.34 billion increase in interest income on loans and a $393 million increase in interest on overnight investments. A higher average balance, increased loan accretion from the full quarter impact of the Acquisition, a higher yield on loans and loan growth in both the General Bank and Commercial Bank contributed to the increase in interest income on loans. The increase in interest income on overnight investments was due to a higher yield and average balance.
The $631 million increase in interest expense was due to a $344 million increase in borrowing costs primarily due to the Purchase Money Note related to the Acquisition and a $287 million increase in interest expense on deposits due to a higher average balance from the full quarter impact of the Acquisition, growth in the Direct Bank and a higher rate paid.
Net interest margin was 4.10%, an increase of 69 basis points over the first quarter. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.18%, an increase of 133 basis points over the first quarter. The increase in yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to a higher yield on earning assets and increased loan accretion resulting from the full quarter impact of the Acquisition. Accretion on loans acquired in the Acquisition was $233 million for the second quarter. The increase in yield on interest-earning assets was partially offset by an increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.
Noninterest income totaled $658 million compared to $10.26 billion in the first quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a $9.82 billion preliminary gain on acquisition in the first quarter, partially offset by the full quarter impact of the Acquisition. Adjusted noninterest income totaled $462 million compared to $309 million in the first quarter, an increase of $153 million. The increase was primarily due to the full quarter impact of the Acquisition and included a $50 million increase in client investment fees that are earned for managing off-balance sheet client funds and a $28 million increase in international fees related to customer foreign currency transactions. Fee income and other services charges increased $22 million primarily due to unused line of credit fees in the SVB segment. Service charges on deposits and cardholder services income both increased $20 million from higher volume associated with the full quarter impact of the Acquisition.
Noninterest expense totaled $1.57 billion compared to $855 million in the first quarter. Adjusted noninterest expense totaled $1.20 billion compared to $677 million in the first quarter, an increase of $525 million. The increases in noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense were primarily due to the full quarter impact of the Acquisition and included higher personnel costs of $355 million, higher equipment expense of $75 million, higher marketing costs of $26 million and higher third-party processing fees of $24 million. The increase in marketing costs were primarily associated with the Direct Bank.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

Loans totaled $133.02 billion at June 30, 2023, a decline of $5.27 billion compared to $138.29 billion as of March 31, 2023. The decline was primarily driven by a $7.37 billion decline in the SVB segment mostly concentrated in Global Fund Banking. The decline in the SVB segment was partially offset by $1.37 billion of growth (12.6% annualized) in the General Bank (driven by business and commercial loans) and $749 million of growth (10.4% annualized) in the Commercial Bank (driven by loans in our industry verticals). The yield on loans was 7.06% for the second quarter compared to 5.57% in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to variable rate loan resets and accretion on loans acquired in the Acquisition.
Deposits totaled $141.16 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.11 billion, or by 3.2% on an annualized basis compared to $140.05 billion as of March 31, 2023. The increase was concentrated in Direct Bank deposits, which grew by $10.4 billion, partially offset by an $8.40 billion decline in the SVB segment. Deposits in the SVB segment totaled $40.86 billion at June 30, 2023, and remained relatively stable from the levels previously disclosed ($41.40 billion as of May 5, 2023). Branch Network deposits declined by $1.11 billion primarily due to seasonal tax payments. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 31.6% of total deposits as of June 30, 2023, compared to 39.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2023. The decline was primarily due to a $9.1 billion decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits in the SVB segment and the previously discussed increase of $10.4 billion in Direct Bank interest-bearing deposits. The cost of average total deposits was 1.68% for the second quarter, up 44 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Total borrowings decreased $5.96 billion during the quarter, primarily due to the $6.08 billion decline in Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY

Provision for credit losses totaled $151 million compared to $783 million in the first quarter, a decrease of $632 million, primarily related to the Acquisition, which included provisions for credit losses of $462 million for non-PCD loans and $254 million for unfunded commitments in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted provision for credit losses totaled $152 million compared to $63 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $89 million. The increase was primarily due to higher net charge-offs of $107 million.
Net charge-offs totaled $157 million, representing 0.47% of average loans, compared to $50 million, or 0.27% of average loans during the first quarter of 2023. The increase in net charge offs was primarily due to $97 million of net charge offs in the SVB segment ($85 million of which were reserved for in connection with the Acquisition).
Nonaccrual loans were $929 million, or 0.70% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $828 million, or 0.60% of total loans at March 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2023.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $1.64 billion or 1.23% of total loans at June 30, 2023, an increase of $32 million and 1.16% of total loans at March 31, 2023. The reserve build for the quarter was a result of deteriorating CECL macroeconomic forecasts, specifically related to the CRE index, partially offset by portfolio run-off in the SVB segment.

(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 gain on sale of the corporate jet acquired from CIT.

(4) Includes specific litigation reserve for the HAMP litigation.

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