BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $81.5 million, or $0.81 per diluted share compared to $89.9 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Non-loss share diluted earnings per share, as previously reported,(1) for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $0.59.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net income of $147.4 million, or $1.45 per diluted share compared to $175.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The annualized return on average stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 10.1%, while the annualized return on average assets was 0.91%.

Rajinder Singh, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This was a solid quarter for BankUnited. Earnings were strong, our success in growing non-interest bearing deposits continued and we embarked on the implementation phase of our BankUnited 2.0 initiative. We remain on track to deliver the results we outlined for investors last quarter."

Quarterly Highlights

  • For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $335 million, to 17.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2019 compared to 15.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2018. Total deposits increased by $243 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $478 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 while total deposits increased by $448 million. The cost of total deposits increased by 0.03% over the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2019, to 1.70%.
  • Loans and leases, including equipment under operating lease, grew by $231 million during the quarter; loan and lease growth was $420 million excluding the transfer of $189 million of Pinnacle Public Finance loans to loans held for sale at June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, excluding the transfer of Pinnacle loans to held for sale, loans and leases grew by $809 million.
  • Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was flat to the immediately preceding quarter at $190.9 million and, as expected, decreased by $64.4 million from $255.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to 2.54% for the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 3.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The most significant reason for the declines in net interest income and the net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was the decrease in accretion on formerly covered residential loans.
  • During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 3.0 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $102 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately 4.1 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $142 million, at a weighted average price of $34.44 per share.
  • We are in the implementation phase of our BankUnited 2.0 initiative and remain on target to deliver the projected benefits presented to investors last quarter. Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 included costs directly related to BankUnited 2.0 of $6.2 million.
  • Book value per common share grew to $30.09 at June 30, 2019 from $29.49 at December 31, 2018 while tangible book value per common share increased to $29.27 from $28.71 over the same period.

The residential portfolio grew by $222 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Continued runoff of the New York multi-family portfolio led to a decline of $153 million in multi-family loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans grew by $131 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. A decline of $25 million in the national commercial lending platforms, including equipment under operating lease, was net of the transfer of $189 million in Pinnacle Public Finance loans to held for sale, and included $80 million in growth at Bridge Funding Group, as well as a $70 million increase in mortgage warehouse outstandings.

Loans held for sale at June 30, 2019 included $189 million of Pinnacle Public Finance loans transferred to held for sale and $36 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans held for sale in the secondary market. At December 31, 2018, loans held for sale consisted entirely of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

For the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 the Company recorded net recoveries of $2.7 million and a provision for loan losses of $9.0 million, respectively. The primary reason a net recovery was recognized for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was reductions in certain specific reserves. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $7.5 million and $12.1 million, respectively. The provision for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 included $11.1 million and $14.0 million, respectively, related to taxi medallion loans.

Factors contributing to the recovery of loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the provision recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 included (i) the reduction in the provision related to taxi medallion loans; (ii) a decrease in the provision related to specific reserves for other loans; and (iii) changes in the composition of portfolio growth; offset by increases related to the relative impact on the provision of changes in certain qualitative loss factors. For the quarter ended June 30, 2018, there was a reduction in overall qualitative reserves.

Non-performing loans totaled $138.2 million or 0.61% of total loans at June 30, 2019, compared to $129.9 million or 0.59% of total loans at December 31, 2018. Non-performing loans included $28.4 million and $17.8 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status, representing 0.13% and 0.08% of total loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The ratios of the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and to non-performing loans were 0.50% and 81.17%, respectively, at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.50% and 84.63%, at December 31, 2018. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 0.28% for the year ended December 31, 2018, of which 0.18% related to taxi medallion loans.

Charge-offs related to taxi medallion loans totaled $8.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Deposits

At June 30, 2019, deposits totaled $23.9 billion compared to $23.5 billion at December 31, 2018. The average cost of total deposits was 1.70% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 1.67% for the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2019, and 1.19% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 decreased to $190.9 million from $255.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net interest income was $381.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $503.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interest income decreased by $21.6 million and $27.6 million for the quarter and six month periods, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in both the yield on and average balance of formerly covered residential loans. Interest income on formerly covered residential loans declined by $67.7 million to $16.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 from $84.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Interest expense increased by $42.8 million and $93.7 million for the quarter and six month periods, respectively, due to increases in both average interest bearing liabilities and the cost of funds.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased to 2.52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, from 2.54% for the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 3.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The Company's net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 3.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The most significant factor impacting the decrease in net interest margin for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 was the decrease in accretion on formerly covered residential loans. Both the average balance of and yield on these loans declined. The decline in the average balance resulted from the sale of a substantial portion of the loans during 2018. The yield on the remaining loans declined to 34.05% and 33.52%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 from 70.82% and 67.96%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, due primarily to changes in assumptions about the remaining period over which accretable yield would be realized, attributable to management's decision to retain certain loans beyond expiration of the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.

Other offsetting factors contributing to the decline in the net interest margin included:

  • The tax-equivalent yield on loans other than formerly covered residential loans increased to 4.26% and 4.25%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, from 3.96% and 3.89%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. The most significant factor contributing to this increased yield was the impact of increases in benchmark interest rates.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 3.61% and 3.63%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 from 3.33% and 3.19%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.
  • The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.17% and 2.13%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, from 1.58% and 1.48%, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, reflecting higher average rates on both interest bearing deposits and FHLB advances. Increases in the cost of interest bearing liabilities primarily reflected increases in market interest rates.
  • Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased as a percentage of total deposits for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income totaled $35.3 million and $71.6 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $32.0 million and $60.0 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.

The most significant factor contributing to the increase in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was an increase of $7.4 million in gain on investment securities. Gains on investment securities related to sales of securities in the course of managing the Company's liquidity position and to increases in the fair values of certain marketable equity securities.

Lease financing income decreased by $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The quarter ended June 30, 2018 included gains of $3.8 million related to the disposition of equipment under operating lease.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense totaled $120.1 million and $246.8 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $161.2 million and $323.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. The most significant component of these decreases in non-interest expense was the decrease in amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset. The FDIC indemnification asset was amortized to zero during the fourth quarter of 2018 in light of the expected termination of the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.

Employee compensation and benefits declined by $8.3 million and $10.1 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 relative to the comparable periods of the prior year, primarily due to a reduction in headcount. Professional fees increased by $4.3 million and $9.3 million, respectively, during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. The increases in professional fees were primarily attributable to consulting services related to our BankUnited 2.0 initiative. Increased technology and telecommunications expense related primarily to investments we are making in cloud technology, our digital platforms, data initiatives and enhancement of some of our risk management capabilities.

Costs incurred directly related to the implementation of our BankUnited 2.0 initiative during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 included professional fees of $4.7 million and $10.3 million, respectively; branch closure expenses of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively; and severance costs of $0.9 million for both periods.

Provision for income taxes

The effective income tax rate was 25.2% and 25.9% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 23.2% and 23.1% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018. An increase in state income taxes contributed to the increase in the effective tax rate. The effective income tax rate differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the impact of state income taxes, partially offset by the benefit of income not subject to federal tax.

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 comparison 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, 2019 (in thousands except share and per share data):

Supplemental Calculations

Calculation of Loss Share Contribution and Non-Loss Share Earnings Per Share

Non-Loss Share Earnings are calculated by removing the total Loss Share Contribution from Net Income. The Loss Share Contribution is a hypothetical presentation of the impact of the covered loans and FDIC indemnification asset on earnings for each respective quarter, reflecting the excess of Loss Share Earnings over hypothetical interest income that could have been earned on alternative assets (in millions except share and per share data):

Calculation of Hypothetical Interest Income on Alternate Assets

The hypothetical interest income calculated below reflects the estimated income that may have been earned if the average balance of covered loans and the FDIC indemnification asset were liquidated and the proceeds assumed to be invested in securities at the weighted average yield on the Company’s investment securities portfolio as reported. Historically, cash received from the repayment, sale, or other resolution of covered loans and cash payments received from the FDIC under the terms of the Shared Loss Agreement have generally been reinvested in non-covered loans or investment securities. There is no assurance that the hypothetical results illustrated below would have been achieved if the covered loans and FDIC indemnification asset had been liquidated and proceeds reinvested (dollars in millions):
