BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"This quarter was a good start to 2024, with continued improvement in the funding mix, a stable margin and strong credit performance," said Rajinder Singh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company reported net income of $48.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared to $20.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2023 and $52.9 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Quarterly Highlights

  • This quarter embodied strong execution on key strategic priorities:
    • The funding mix continued to improve as non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $404 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Non-brokered deposits grew by $644 million and total deposits grew by $489 million. Non-interest bearing demand deposits represented 27% of total deposits at March 31, 2024, up from 26% at December 31, 2023.
    • Wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits, declined by $1.4 billion for the quarter.
    • Compared to one year ago, we have grown total deposits by $1.3 billion and paid down FHLB advances by $3.6 billion.
    • Total loans declined by $407 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Strategically, the residential loan portfolio declined by $152 million. The core C&I and commercial real estate portfolios declined by $226 million. This decline was related to expected seasonality as well as some notable unexpected paydowns and the decision to exit some non-relationship shared national credits.
    • The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was relatively stable at 2.57% compared to 2.60% for the immediately preceding quarter.
    • Credit is favorable. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was 0.02%. The NPA ratio at March 31, 2024 declined to 0.34%, including 0.11% related to the guaranteed portion of non-accrual SBA loans, from 0.37%, including 0.12% related to the guaranteed portion of non-accrual SBA loans at December 31, 2023.
    • Liquidity remains ample. Total same day available liquidity was $14.8 billion, the available liquidity to uninsured, uncollateralized deposits ratio was 156% and an estimated 65% of our deposits were insured or collateralized at March 31, 2024.
    • Our capital position is robust. At March 31, 2024, CET1 was 11.6% at a consolidated level. Pro-forma CET1, including accumulated other comprehensive income, was 10.3% at March 31, 2024. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets increased to 7.3% at March 31, 2024.
  • The average cost of total deposits increased by 0.22% to 3.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 2.96% for the immediately preceding quarter. The cost of deposits is showing signs of stabilizing; on a spot basis, the cost of total deposits was 3.17% at March 31, 2024 compared to 3.18% at December 31, 2023.
  • Our commercial real estate exposure is modest. Commercial real estate loans totaled 24% of loans at March 31, 2024, representing 166% of the Bank's total risk based capital. By comparison, based on call report data as of December 31, 2023 (the most recent date available) for banks with between $10 billion and $100 billion in assets, the median level of CRE to total loans was 35% and the median level of CRE to total risk based capital was 225%.
  • At March 31, 2024, the weighted average LTV of the CRE portfolio was 56.5%, the weighted average DSCR was 1.83, 57% of the portfolio was collateralized by properties located in Florida and 26% was collateralized by properties located in the New York tri-state area. For the office sub-segment, the weighted average LTV was 65.3%, the weighted average DSCR was 1.66, 59% was collateralized by properties in Florida, substantially all of which was suburban, and 24% was collateralized by properties located in the New York tri-state area.
  • At March 31, 2024, the ratio of the ACL to loans was 0.90% compared to 0.82% at December 31, 2023. The ACL to loans ratio for commercial portfolio sub-segments including C&I, CRE, franchise finance and equipment finance was 1.42% at March 31, 2024 and the ACL to loans ratio for CRE office loans was 2.26%.
  • Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 included an additional $5.2 million related to the FDIC special assessment announced in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • The net unrealized pre-tax loss on the available for sale ("AFS") securities portfolio continued to improve, declining by $36 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, now representing 5% of amortized cost. The duration of our AFS securities portfolio remained short, at 1.85 as of March 31, 2024. Held to maturity securities were not significant.
  • Book value and tangible book value per common share continued to grow, to $35.31 and $34.27, respectively, at March 31, 2024, compared to $34.66 and $33.62, respectively, at December 31, 2023, and $33.34 and $32.30, respectively, one year ago.
  • The Company announced an increase of $0.02 per share in its common stock dividend for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to $0.29 per common share, a 7% increase from the previous level of $0.27 per share.

For purposes of this ratio, commercial loans includes the core C&I and CRE sub-segments as presented in the table above as well as franchise and equipment finance. Due to their unique risk profiles, MWL and municipal finance are excluded from this ratio.

The ACL at March 31, 2024, represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses given an assessment of historical data, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast as of the balance sheet date. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the provision for credit losses, including both funded and unfunded loan commitments, was $15.3 million, compared to $19.3 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2023. The more significant factors impacting the provision for credit losses and increase in the ACL for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were an increase in qualitative loss factors and risk rating migration, partially offset by an improved economic forecast.

Non-performing loans included $40.0 million and $41.8 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status, representing 0.16% and 0.17% of total loans at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The $255 million increase in the substandard accruing category for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 included $187 million of CRE, $115 million of which was office. All of these loans continue to perform. Factors contributing to risk rating migration in the office portfolio included rent abatement periods, delays in completing build-out of leased space and in some cases what we expect to be temporarily lower occupancy levels.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was $214.9 million, compared to $217.2 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2023. Interest income decreased by $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the immediately preceding quarter, while interest expense increased by $0.6 million.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased by 0.03% to 2.57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, from 2.60% for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2023. Factors impacting the net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 were:

  • The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased to 5.78% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, from 5.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. This increase reflects the origination of new loans at higher rates, paydowns of lower rate loans and balance sheet repositioning.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 5.59% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, from 5.73% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The primary driver of this decrease was routine accounting adjustments recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 related to prepayment speeds on certain securities; these adjustments positively impacted the yield for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
  • The average cost of interest bearing deposits increased to 4.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 4.04% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. An increase in municipal money market deposits late in the fourth quarter of 2023 and CD repricing were contributing factors.
  • The average rate paid on FHLB advances decreased to 4.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 from 4.58% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to repayment of higher rate advances.

Non-interest income and Non-interest expense

Non-interest income totaled $26.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $17.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The quarter ended March 31, 2024 included a $2.7 million of residual gains on the disposition of operating lease equipment compared to a $6.5 million loss for the prior quarter.

Non-interest expense totaled $159.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to $190.9 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended December 31, 2023. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 included $35.4 million related to an FDIC special assessment; the quarter ended March 31, 2024 included an additional $5.2 million related to this assessment.
