While we experienced an increase in net charge offs. This quarter. The majority of the increase related to the SVB portfolio that were anticipated and reserved for in day, one acquisition accounting.
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 supporting them.
Turning to page six we continue to make progress on SVB integration efforts and are excited by the early signs of collaboration and partnership we're seeing among our teams. Since we acquired Seb on March 'twenty setup, our focus has been on stabilizing the business.

Currently we are moving forward with the remaining pillars of our integration process.
And let me quickly run through these with you.
First we continue to advance our strategic assessment work. Having completed an initial round of strategic assessments led by the business lines. We are now leveraging those insights to identify strategic initiatives and key integration activities and doing so we're ensuring that the key processes and practices that have been instrumental to SVB differentiated offering remain in place.

Okay.
These strategic assessments also inform our integration efforts, which we continue to make progress on.
As a part of this work, we're developing and executing on detailed integration plans that prioritize maintaining fcb's unique leadership role and ongoing support for the innovation economy and finally, we are ensuring regulatory readiness through our large bank program.

Before I turn it over to Peter I want to thank all of our associates for their hard work and unwavering commitment to our shareholders clients customers and communities.
And I am proud of what we've accomplished and will accomplish moving forward now I'll turn it over to Peter Bristow to provide an SCB business update Peter.
Peter Bristow: Thank you Frank and good morning, everyone.
Turning to page eight I want to reiterate what Frank said I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made in integrating SCB and reestablishing. It is an undisputed leader in the innovation economy.
Our team has done a tremendous has done tremendous work on that front. I won't cover all the details outlined on this slide as many of the points Echo comments, Frank just made.
Won't cover all the details outlined on this slide as many of the points Echo comments, Frank just made.
But I do want to provide concrete examples on the progress we are making. Our bankers have reached out to a considerable number of clients over the past few months. We're encouraged by the success, we are seeing in reestablishing relationships with the clients who left in March.

We're encouraged by the success, we are seeing in reestablishing relationships with the clients who left in March.
To support this effort we've initiated a comprehensive outreach campaign to touch each of our approximately 30000 clients. We've also embarked on a major web campaign, including full pages in the Wall Street Journal and New York times to reinforce to our clients that we are fully committed to the innovation economy, and ready to serve their needs with tailored product offerings.
<unk> economy, and ready to serve their needs with tailored product offerings.
I want to highlight some numbers that demonstrate the success we've seen so far.
We have approximately 1500 clients, whose funds dip below 10% of their March eight amount, who have recommitted and now have some portion of their funds back at SVB.
We also now have over 90% of our core borrowers either meeting deposit requirements or working in good faith with us to meet them.
These sales efforts have been noticeable on the balance sheet. Our deposits have largely remained steady since the end of April maintaining in the $40 to $41 billion range. Despite the limited fund raising activity in the broader venture capital market and our clients' ongoing cash burn.
Our deposits have largely remained steady since the end of April maintaining in the $40 to $41 billion range. Despite the limited fund raising activity in the broader venture capital market and our clients' ongoing cash burn.
And while our loan balances have declined this is primarily related to the short term nature of our global funds banking portfolio, which is down given reduced broader market activity as well as the lagged effect of being out of the market for a few months in early 2023.
We are encouraged by the robust pipelines in this business and we are back in the market for new production, while we see challenges in the broader market for the remainder of 2023 as venture capital investment is below the levels of.
It's below the levels of the past few years, we are well poised to capture client funds once investment levels begin to increase likely in late 2024 and into 2025.
Despite competitors, we're actively entering the innovation space competitive advantages, including our long standing client relationships and our breadth and depth of offerings continue to differentiate us.
Importantly, we are hearing positive client feedback around our reinforcement of SVB stability now backed by the strength of first citizens and our unique tailored offerings that our clients have come to know and love.
Clients are eager to learn more about division for the first citizens and SVB partnership. We also remain excited about the opportunities that SVB products and services provide for our legacy first citizens clients and we believe there are opportunities to expand deposit and suite products to our commercial clients.
Complementing our early success in the SVB integration, our team's efforts and the broader commercial banking business were strong momentum continued in the second quarter.
The lending portfolio led by industry verticals in our commercial finance group grew by $901 million to $13.8 billion. With strong performance across the portfolio, including health care Tech media and Telecom energy and Maritime just to name a few.

We were also pleased to welcome Jim <unk> as the president of the commercial Finance group. Jim brings more than 20 years as a commercial finance executive including overseeing Cit's commercial finance business for over a decade.
Jim brings more than 20 years as a commercial finance executive including overseeing Cit's commercial finance business for over a decade.
We are confident his leadership insights and expertise will be invaluable as we continue to grow our commercial portfolio.
We also continue to see strong performance in our middle market banking organization as we explore attractive market opportunities.
And our rail business delivered another strong quarter with utilization remaining above 98%.
And finally on the wealth side, we are planning to leverage SVB strong well footprint in the northeast and California to expand our wealth coverage building on our strong our strong business and commercial relationships in southern California, and expanding services for our existing CIT.

Notably, we have not seen material declines in legacy SVB deposits since our first quarter disclosure using April 30th data. This is in spite of venture investment remaining subdued and more aligned with 2018 19 levels.

This is in spite of venture investment remaining subdued and more aligned with 2018 19 levels with.
The stabilization that we've seen in our deposit balances is a testament to the client outreach and effort. The team has put into reassure them that despite the turmoil in March SVB is not going anywhere and is more secure than ever.
It also demonstrates that SVB's unique value propositions remains attractive to clients.
Moving on to loans as we noted on our first quarter call, we anticipated a drag on loan growth given the given more subdued lending activity in the innovation economy.
The primary driver of the decline in our loans this quarter was a $6.8 billion reduction in global fund banking, which was expected.
Fund banking has historically been one of the primary drivers of growth at SPV. However, starting in 2022 with what has been called the great reset the pace of venture capital activity slowed considerably.
Consequently, these venture capital firms are investing less which is whats reduces their needs to use our capital call lending facilities.
Now midway through 2023, private equity and venture capital investors face a dynamic environment because of various macroeconomic factors many of which are carryover from 2022.
Some such as inflation and the press public market appears to be resolving others. However, our persistent such as high interest rates and low initial public offering activity. These challenges are having a direct impact on the private market investment landscape, resulting in a difficult exit environment lower fund raising numbers and fewer deals.

Nevertheless, we are continued to focus on the areas, we can control and believe that the rest will follow. We continue to focus on client engagement as we remain patient and continue to be there for our clients. And we believe in the fullness of time, we will successfully wind back additional deposits in lines as clients restore faith and trust in the business and of course us.

Turning to page 10, we provide additional information on SVB trends in terms of assets off balance sheet client funds and assets under management.
I won't spend much time on this today, but wanted to provide this to you for reference.
In closing, it's clear that there are a lot of opportunities for the combined company I want to Echo Frank's appreciation for all of our associates and their continued dedication has put us in a strong position to continue growing the business enhancing our relationships and delivering best in class solution and services to our core.

On page 12, we summarize high level themes from our second quarter results. The power of the SVB combination was on full display during the quarter with return metrics exceeding our expectations.
The power of the SVB combination was on full display during the quarter with return metrics exceeding our expectations.
Meanwhile, the adjusted efficiency ratio significantly improved to sub 50%. Thanks to strong net interest income growth and better than expected recognition of cost synergies.
From an asset quality standpoint, overall credit performance continued to normalize with net charge offs, increasing to 47 basis points. With most of the sequential increase related to SVB charge-offs that were expected and reserved for as of the merger date.
With most of the sequential increase related to FCB charge offs that were expected and reserved for as of the merger date.
Our exposure to office related commercial real estate is limited and our overall credit metrics remain resilient.
Moving to the balance sheet, while loans declined sequentially due to an expected decline that Peter mentioned in global banking Global fund banking portfolio, the general and commercial bank segments. At an annualized rate of 12,6% and 10,5% respectively.
At an annualized rate of 12, 6% and 10, 5% respectively.

On page 14, we provide two condensed income statements the table at the top of the page represents our reported GAAP results in the table at the bottom supplement says results show net income adjusted for notable items. The section in the middle of the page summarizes the impact of notable items to derive the adjusted results from the reported result.

Page 15 provides detail with respect to notable items for the relevant quarterly and year to date periods. During the second quarter. These adjustments had a net impact of adding $6 73 to GAAP EPS.
Turning to page 16, net interest income of $1.96 billion increased by $1.1 billion over the linked quarter, mostly due to the impact of the SVB acquisition net interest margin increased by 69 basis points due to the full quarter impact of accretion from the SVB combination a higher yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase in deposit costs.
Fact of the SCB acquisition net interest margin increased by 69 basis points due to the full quarter impact of accretion from the SCB combination a higher yield on earning assets, partially offset by an increase in deposit costs.
Our loan yield increased by 149 basis points 64 basis points of which was related to accretion income. Meanwhile, deposit costs increased by 44 basis points, representing a cycle to date beta of 30%.
Page 17 provides a roll forward of net interest margin from the sequential quarter and from the same quarter in the prior year for your reference moving to page 18, we remained asset sensitive during the quarter with a negative 100 basis points ramp in rates negatively impacting net interest income by 5.7%.
7%.
We continue to prioritize liquidity risk management by intentionally keeping a larger cash balance due to the current macroeconomic environment. However, we have begun to put some of the excess cash to work.

On page 19, we provide information on our actual and expected deposit betas.
54% of our deposit exhibit lower betas with remainder exhibiting moderate to higher betas.
Our cumulative beta through the second quarter was 30%, which is higher than our previous forecast driven by changes to interest rate environment as rates have stayed higher for longer.
Given this and the competitive environment for deposits, we expect our cumulative beta to increased to 36% by the end of the third quarter as deposit cost catch up from recent rate increases and we raised additional deposits and are more rate sensitive direct bank channel.
Over the interest rates heightened cycle, we forecast our cumulative beta will be approximately 39% up 5% from our previous estimate which is due in part to rates higher for longer as well as increasing our balances and a higher cost direct bank to reduce our wholesale funding reliance.
It will be approximately 39% up 5% from our previous estimate which is due in part to rates higher for longer as well as increasing our balances and a higher cost direct bank to reduce our wholesale funding reliance.
On page 20. Adjusted noninterest income increased by $153 million over the linked quarter due to the impact of the SVB acquisition and continued momentum in our legacy fee generating business lines, such as rail and card.
Adjusted noninterest income increased by $153 million over the linked quarter due to the impact of the SBB acquisition and continued momentum in our legacy fee generating business lines, such as rail and card.
The impact of SVB, including a $50 million increase in client investment fee, earning for managing off balance sheet client funds and a $28 million increase in international fees related to customer foreign currency transactions.
In addition, other service charges increased $22 million, primarily due to unused line of credit fees and 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.
These increases were partially offset by small declines in other noninterest income spread across several smaller line items and a decrease in boley income given our strategic early surrender of Bally policies in the fourth quarter of 2022.
On page 21, adjusted noninterest expense totaled $1 2 billion, a $525 million increase over the linked quarter, representing the full quarter impact of the FCB acquisition, our adjusted efficiency ratio showed significant improvement during the quarter dropping from 57.55% to 49.65%.
Six 5%.
For your reference page 22 outlines our adjusted noninterest income and expense composition for the second quarter.
Page 23, so with balance sheet highlights and key ratios I'm not going to cover this in detail, but I would like to direct your attention to the fact that we drove TBB per share growth of $39 per share during the quarter, while increasing our liquidity position by $8.5 billion.
Turning to page 24 loans declined by $7.4 billion.
SVB segment, which drove down our total loan balances compared to the linked quarter as Peter mentioned, our global fund banking portfolio experienced elevated draws at the end of March and as a result, we anticipated higher level of pay downs during the second quarter.
Approximately 50% of the $7.4 billion decline was related to elevated draw repayments.
The challenges facing the venture capital industry are having a direct impact on the private market investment landscape, resulting in a difficult exit environment lower fund raising numbers and fewer deals.
New draws on existing lines are muted in April and May given uncertainty in the industry postmarked events. However, we did see commitment activity for existing clients pick up in the month of June as Peter mentioned.
Despite industry headwinds, our legacy for citizens portfolio continued to experience solid growth, including $1.4 billion or 12.6 annualized percent growth and the general bank and $749 million or 10.5% annualized growth in the commercial bank.
The commercial bank.
Sure.
Page 25 shows our loan composition by type and segment for your reference.
Page 26 shows the deposits increased by $1.1 billion or three 2% on an annualized basis from the linked quarter, we experienced $10.4 billion in growth in the direct bank, partially offset by a decline in SVB deposits.
It worked diligently to leverage the direct bank channel to increase balances to help fund loan growth and the general and commercial bank segments and to support legacy SVB.
We do anticipate continued deposit growth in the direct bank through the end of 2023, albeit at a slower pace. While this channel is higher cost compared to the traditional branch network enabled us to reduce more expensive F. <unk> borrowings by approximately 6 1 billion during the second quarter.
During the second quarter.
Importantly, while SVB deposits declined $8.4 billion sequentially. The majority of this occurred in April as Peter noted, we have worked to stabilize the franchises that performing outreach to key innovation economy partners and detailed market analysis to understand misconceptions. So we can more quickly and effectively address them.
We have also worked hard to keep client facing team members and seat and in front of our clients. As a result of these efforts we have not seen a material change in deposit balances since we last reported with SVB deposit remaining approximately $41 billion as of June 30.
Our cost of deposits increased by 44 basis points during the quarter to 16.8%.
216, 8%.
The increase is representative of the impacts from the fed rate hikes, and our need to raise rates to stay competitive with our peers.
The deposit composition by type segment and insert uninsured breakdown.
On page 27 on page 28, our balance sheet continues to be funded predominantly by deposit we made progress this quarter right sizing. This as deposits increased to 78% of total funding up from 75% last quarter.
The <inaudible> borrowings we initiated the previous quarters had call features and we decrease those borrowings by approximately $6 billion. This quarter, which is reflective of the deposit growth I just spoke to.
For the medium to long term, we plan to continue to drive the non deposit concentration metrics lower by focusing on core deposit growth.
On page 29 credit quality metrics continued to normalize net charge-offs totaled $157 million or 47 basis points for the quarter up from $50 million or 27 basis points in the first quarter.
The increase in charge offs were primarily the result of $97 million and net charge offs in the SVB segment.
$85 million of which were reserved for at the acquisition date, and the general and commercial bank segment's net charge offs were fairly consistent with prior quarters with most occurring in the large office real estate in small ticket equipment leasing portfolio.
We guided to a net charge off range of 35% to 45 basis points on our last call as we identified a few large innovation credits that would be and worked hard soft during the quarter.
While we do expect some continued strength in the innovation portfolio given the depressed levels of market funding, we don't expect quarterly charge offs to remain at these levels. However, some of these loans are large and the charge offs can be lumpy.
Moving to the bottom of the page the nonaccrual loan ratio increased 10 basis points from the sequential quarter to 0.7%. The increase was primarily concentrated in real estate finance within the commercial Bank segment. This is where our largest general office exposure is which continues to be impacted by remote work on amex.
Elevated interest rates vacancy rates lease rates capital requirements and near term maturities.
Our allowance ratio increased by seven basis points to 1.23% during the quarter.
Page 30 provides a roll forward of our ACL from the linked quarter the largest driver of the increase in the ACL with deterioration in macroeconomic forecast.
Related to declining CRE index values in both the baseline and downside scenarios.
Other factors such as portfolio mix and credit quality also contributed to increases in reserves, but on a much smaller scale.
These increases were partially offset by lower loan balances and the SBB segment and adjustments to fair value discount on loans acquired from SBB.
As depicted on the bottom left hand corner. The ACL provides two six times coverage of annualized quarterly net charge offs and covered nonaccrual loans, one eight times.
On pages 31, and 32, we highlight our total non owner occupied CRE exposure, which was 12.8% of total loans at quarter end with general office loans totaling $2.8 billion or 2.1% of total loans.
Page 32 includes information on the general office portfolio, which is well diversified geographically.
With limited exposure to some of the hardest hit markets, including San Francisco, Chicago, and New York, which on a combined basis totaled $403 million or 14% of the total general office portfolio.
As we shared on our last call of the $2.8 billion and General office was the most significant credit risk is in our commercial bank.
We've had general office lines totaling $1.1 billion at the end of the quarter, representing less than 1% of total loans.
This portfolio consists primarily of class B reposition and bridge loans, and it's where we have seen deterioration in past dues criticized assets and charge offs.
We were carrying an ACL on those lines of 9.02% compared to an ACL on the overall general office portfolio of 4.44%.
Reserves on both of these portfolios increased over the prior quarter due to increase specific reserves as well as deterioration in the seasonal macro forecast.
Most of the remaining general office exposure and then the General Bank. This portfolio is more granular in nature with smaller average line size and some level of guarantor support our strong credit tenants under long term leases, we have not seen material deterioration in this portfolio to date.
On page 33, our capital position remains strong with all ratios above or in the upper end of our target ranges at the end of the second quarter. Our CET one ratio was 13.38% and our total risk-based capital ratio was 15.84%.
The 85 basis points increase in our CET one ratio primarily the result of continued net income growth.
Primarily the result of continued net income growth.
Before I discuss our outlook page 34 demonstrates. That we continue to operate with a strong balance sheet with solid capital liquidity and credit quality positions.

I'll conclude with our 2023 outlook on page 36.

Moving to loans, we expect.
Moving to loans, we expect that loans will remain essentially flat to the second quarter ending balances.
Net loans will remain essentially flat to the second quarter ending balances.
Anticipating further declines in the global fund banking business from lower levels of venture capital investment slower capital deployment and higher interest rates as well as the lagged impact of being out of the market for the early months of 2023.
Do see flat to modest declines in our tech and life Sciences business as market activity continues to be depressed.
As a result, we expect SVB loan balances to be in the mid $50 billion range by year-end down from 59 billion at the end of the second quarter.
<unk> and <unk> will be largely offset by mid single digit percentage growth in the general commercial banking segment as we expect continued momentum in our branch network industry verticals middle market and equipment finance lines of business.
Moving to deposits, we expect a low single digit percentage decline. While we are encouraged by the stabilization of SVB deposit since April we anticipate that SVB clients will continue to experience a level of cash burn that exceeds funds sourced from fund raising.
It's worth noting that we expect broader market VC funding to remain subdued in the range of 30% to $40 billion per quarter for the remainder of 2023, which is significantly down from prior years.
Consequently, we are projecting a 4% to $6 billion decline in the SVB deposit book through the end of the year that said, we are laser focused on actively partnering with our existing portfolio of clients in the SVB team is working diligently to obtain and win back balances, which we believe will partially offset some of this natural run off.
We are expecting the SVB declines to be partially offset by $3 billion increase indirect bank deposits.
Moving to interest rates, our forecast follows the implied forward curve, we forecast that the fed funds rate has peaked at five 5% from there we anticipate the effective rate will remain unchanged for the rest of 2023, and then into the beginning of months of 2024.
Although not all of the net interest income, while we expect the absolute level of margin and net interest income to remain elevated we do expect them to begin to decline in the coming quarters compared to the second quarter. This will occur as the pace of accretion moderates and we see continued pressure on deposit pricing.
Accretion income had an approximate 50 basis points impact on our margin in the second quarter and absent the impact of accelerated loan repayments and due to the recognition of accretion are shorter duration loans. We expect this to moderate to the 30 to 35 basis points range in the coming quarters.
The impacts of lower accretion and higher deposit costs were partially will be partially offset by higher loan and investment yields.
We anticipate our full cycle beta increasing to 35% to 40% up from our previous estimate of 30% to 35%, which is due to rates higher for longer leading to increased competitive pressure on deposits as well as the sizable increase in our direct bank from what was close to $19 billion at the end of the first quarter to an expected mid $30 billion range by year-end.
An expected mid $30 billion range by year end.
We project net interest income in the third quarter in the range of 1.8% to $1.9 billion at the same time, we are raising full-year net interest income to a range of 6.4% to $6.6 billion, reflecting strong second-quarter results as well as the margin dynamics. Previously mentioned. On the net charge offs, we expect third quarter annualized in full year net charge offs to be in the 35 to 45 basis points range.
Previously mentioned.
On the net charge offs, we expect third quarter annualized in full year net charge offs to be in the 35 to 45 basis points range.
Despite most of the portfolio performing well. We expect to see charge-offs concentrated in the commercial bank General office real estate and small equipment leasing spaces.
To see charge offs concentrated in the commercial bank General office real estate and small equipment leasing spaces.
While we do expect some continued losses in the innovation portfolio given the depressed levels of market funding, we don't expect the quarter quarterly level of charge offs to remain at second quarter levels.
We expect SVB net charge-offs in the range of 30 to 40 basis points in the coming quarters.
Given the size of the credits in both the legacy CIP at FCB portfolio charging off one or two more large credits and anticipated can have a sizeable impact on the overall the overall quarterly net charge off ratio and can ultimately take us to the higher end of our 35 to 45 basis points range.
On to noninterest income. On an adjusted basis, we expect $420 to $450 million and noninterest income in the third quarter. We were reassured on the level of SBB related noninterest income in the second quarter and see this total contribution settling in at approximately 150 to $140 million to $150 million per quarter roughly $560 million to $600 million on an annual basis.

$560 million to $600 million on an annual basis.
On an apples to apples basis of the <inaudible> businesses that were acquired this was closer to $300 million per quarter in 2022. So we are expecting the run rate to be slightly less than half of that given client attrition, especially in some of the off-balance sheet sweep products.
With respect to legacy first citizens, we still have momentum in our wealth and rail businesses. While maintenance expenses are expected to increase in rail utilization increased to over 98% and for the past three quarters renewal rates have been at or above 120% of the previous quarters right.
While maintenance expenses are expected to increase in rail utilization increased to over 98% and for the past three quarters renewal rates have been at or above 120% of the previous quarters right.
Moving to noninterest expense. We do not include expected acquisition expenses related to SBB estimated a $650 million with approximately 60% recognized in twenty-three and the remainder in twenty-four, So 300 approximately $380 million this year. For the remainder of 2023, we anticipate adjusted noninterest expense will move lower to the 1.15 to $1.2 billion range per quarter as we further recognized cost say, we do expect a onetime $30 million FDIC assessment to be recognized in the third quarter. This expense will be considered a notable and is not included in our adjusted noninterest income forecast. Expense Forecast, sorry.

Expense Forecast, sorry. We made meaningful progress on our path to achieving cost saves in the range of $650 to $780 million by the end of 'twenty four and pushed slightly ahead of the schedule. This quarter, primarily due to efficiency reductions in the back office at this juncture, we expect to have taken over $400 million out of the expense run rate.

This quarter, primarily due to efficiency reductions in the back office at this juncture, we expect to have taken over $400 million out of the expense run rate.
By the end of 2023, putting us slightly above 50% at the high end of our cost synergies estimate as a reminder, most of the synergies will be driven by consolidation of redundant and duplicate back office processes processes and systems as we remain focused on supporting the existing front lines of business and their clients.
Yes.
Moving forward, we expect to maintain our efficiency ratio in the low 50, slightly higher than the second quarter as lower margin is partially offset by continued recognition of cost saves.
On the income taxes, we expect our corporate tax rate to be in the 26.5% to 27.5% range in line with our previous update as our revenue distribution is heavily weighted to higher tax jurisdictions, such as California, and New York.
Existing tax benefits are spread amongst a higher at much larger pretax income base.
As for 2023 bps. Previously guided to an adjusted range of 150 to $161 per share range with derived from GAAP earnings, but subtracted out the after-tax one-time impacts of the SVB acquisition, including the preliminary bargain purchase gain the day, two seasonal adjustments and estimated SVB related acquisition expenses.

<unk> acquisition expenses.
Based upon our updated forecast. Guide to any new adjusted range of $156 to $167 per share the change from prior guidance is primarily related to the higher net interest income projection given the absolute rate environment, partially offset by higher provision, expenses were also slightly favorable to our previous forecast as we pulled slightly ahead on merger synergies.

This forecast excludes the preliminary bargain purchase gain debated seasonal impact and the expected $30 million FDIC assessment as well as approximately $380 million of expected acquisition expenses in 2023.
To conclude we are excited about our future prospects and believe that we are well positioned to continue delivering long term value to our shareholders clients customers associates and communities.

Okay.
Our first question today comes from Brady Gailey from <inaudible>. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Brady Gailey: Hey, Thank you good morning, guys.
Craig Nix - CFO: Good morning.
Brady Gailey: Wanted to start with the share I wanted to start with the share buyback I understand the reasons why the buyback doesn't make sense for you guys for the back half of this year.
When do you feel like Youll have the clarity needed to more seriously consider a share buyback because it doesn't sound like that would be until next year in 2024?
Youre more seriously consider a share buyback because it doesn't sound like that would be until next year in 2024.
Craig Nix - CFO: That's a correct assumption. We will be submitting a capital plan. Next year, and we will consider the potential impacts of these regulatory changes on our capital ratios, but we will certainly be considering a share repurchase plan.
We will be submitting a capital plan.
Next year, and we will consider the potential impacts of these regulatory changes on our capital ratios, but we will certainly be considering a share repurchase plan.
In that capital plan, but it would not we do not resume repurchases in 'twenty three we would anticipate all things go well that we've resumed in 'twenty four.
Brady Gailey: Okay, and then I know, we've talked about the lower risk weightings from the loss share assets from Silicon Valley being a benefit to common equity tier one of about 200 basis points.
How fast do you expect to see that or are we talking a matter of quarters or is this a longer term in a matter of years, where we see that?
To see that or are we talking a matter of quarters or is this a longer term in a matter of years, where we see that.
No.
And risk weighted assets.
Yes.
Craig Nix - CFO: Brady, we are burning those over a three year period, which really approximate that.
The life of the loans that are subject to loss share. So in our capital projections, we have it burning off straight line over three years.
Brady Gailey: Okay, and just lastly for me your accretable yield was around $240 million. In the second quarter. So it's really really large amount how do you expect that to trend for the next few quarters.
In the second quarter. So it's really really large amount how do you expect that to trend for the next few quarters.
Craig Nix - CFO: We're expecting it to drop to $160 range in the third quarter and the $150 range in the fourth.
Brady Gailey: Okay, great. Thanks, guys.
Thanks, Craig.
Craig Nix - CFO: Thank you.
Operator: Thank you.
Question today comes from Stephen Hudson from Piper Sandler. Please go ahead. Your line is open.
Sure.
Stephen Scouten from Piper Sandler: Yeah. Thanks, a lot good morning, everyone.
I guess I missed a little bit of your response there Craig on the share repurchase I guess my follow-up to that question would be is that kind of an internal decision as you evaluate those capital new capital requirements or was there any sort of regulatory pushback on the desire to do a repurchase here in 'twenty-three.
On the desire to.
To do a repurchase here in 'twenty three.
Craig Nix - CFO: Yes, it was an internal decision.
Got it okay.
And then on the operator.
Okay.
Got it okay and I'm sorry. And then. That's great and on the large bank team that you guys have.
Got it okay and I'm sorry. And
And then.
And on the large bank team that you guys have implemented China find these gaps and so forth has there been anything material identified to date that you can speak to or is that still pretty early stages as they look to identifying these gaps or planning remediations?
That's great and on the large bank team that you guys have.
Implemented China find these gaps and so forth has there been anything material identified to date that you can speak to or is that still pretty early stages as they look to.
Identifying these gaps are planning.
Remediation.
Craig Nix - CFO: Yes, we really don't have any significant gaps we have identified gaps, but they're not things that we can't overcome. So I think. We are well on our way to leaving the requirements of a category four bank.
So I think.
We are well on our way too.
Leaving the requirements of a category four bank.
Our risk management program meets the expectation for a large bank program and is prepared to expand it to include the SVB businesses. So we feel like we're in really really good shape there.
Stephen Scouten from Piper Sandler: Okay, Great and then last thing for me is just if I look at the noninterest revenue guide. Within the slide deck, it implies a little bit of downtime I guess from here are.
<unk> revenue guide.
Within the slide deck, it implies a little bit of downtime I guess from here are.
Are there any specific categories, where you expect to see some some declines in the back half of the year or what's kind of embedded within that guidance there.
Craig Nix - CFO: Well if you look at just the PPR. In general, as you saw. With net interest income. The impact of that lower accretion going forward. The eadline margin will decline, although ex accretion we still are seeing some lift in earning asset so that's the most significant factor.
In general as you saw.
With net interest income.
The impact of that lower accretion.
Going forward.
Headline margin will decline, although ex accretion we still are seeing some lift in earning asset so that's that.
Most significant factor.
We're guiding slightly down from the second quarter, our noninterest income and Thats really FX fees and. Down. Due to low global fund banking business.
Down. Due to low global fund banking business.
Due to low global fund banking business.
And some off-balance sheet decline in management fees declines and off-balance sheet funds manage those two those two things are pretty much the factor there.
And off balance sheet funds manage those two those two things are.
Much of the factor there.
Lower PPNR, but we're really pleased where that's going to we're going to turn out from a from a PPNR standpoint, and a net income standpoint in the next few quarters.
Stephen Scouten from Piper Sandler: Great. Thanks, Craig Thanks for taking my questions I appreciate it.
Craig Nix - CFO: Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question today comes from Kevin from D. A Davidson. Please go ahead your line is open.
From D. A Davidson. Please go ahead your line is open.
Sure.
Kevin from D. A Davidson: Hi, good morning, everyone.
Sure.
Craig Nix - CFO: Good morning.
Kevin from D. A Davidson: I'm just curious as you look longer term, obviously the loan to deposit ratio got impacted by the deal.
Impacted by the deal.
So now Matt.
Appearing from the top level is quite as liquid as it once was but how do you what do you aspire for that ratio to be longer term, how do you see a trend and we see a trending down into the eighties, or you're very comfortable with where it is right here?
Down into the eighties, or you're very comfortable with where it is right here.
Craig Nix - CFO: We don't really believe that aligning deposit ratio of 95% higher as sustainable.
So where we would target that would be sort of in the mid eighty's. If I had to put a number on it when you look at sort of our sort of our earnings asset mix, we like where the percentage of loans to earning assets. So it is really focusing in on the on the right hand side of the balance sheet and replacing borrow.
The core deposit growth, so that would be that would be our goal.
But right now loans sitting at around 69% of earning assets is right, where we like it in fact, we'd like it to be 70 to 74 in conjunction though with an 85% loan to deposit ratio.
Yeah.
Kevin from D. A Davidson: Got it. I apologize if I missed this before but.
I apologize if I missed this before but.
The mix shift that's going on the deposits it looks like noninterest bearing obviously came down at a good clip and probably a lot of thats due to SVB, where do you where, and when do you see that settling? The percentage of noninterest bearing.
The percentage of noninterest bearing.
<inaudible> I think you are right, I mean. We entered the quarter, 39% noninterest bearing.
Right. We entered the quarter, 39% noninterest bearing.
We entered the quarter, 39% noninterest bearing.
We. Exited at 32. Ultimately. Normal business cycle, we like to see our noninterest bearing around 40%. It was coming into this transaction. Spot for us.
Exited at 32.
Ultimately.
Normal business cycle, we like to see our noninterest bearing around 40%.
It was coming into this transaction.
Spot for us.
And then beyond that we like to see core checking and around 65%. This includes now accounts and non interest bearing right now around 50% and thats totally due to the rate environment. So we see that optimizing as the interest rate environment moderates going forward.
Yes.
Got it and one last one for me what is the rough tonnage of the direct bank right now or total deposits and do you have any upper limit on what you want that to be or do you view that as just? If thats better than borrowing youre willing to take that up.
Tonnage.
Direct bank right now are totaled.
Total deposits and do you have any.
Upper limit on what you want that to be or do you view that as just.
If thats better than borrowing youre willing to take that up.
Where at bankers 20 with around 20% of our deposit base. The branch net worth remains overwhelmingly largest concentration around 40%. We do see those deposits as core obviously, there's a little bit more expensive, but they are at the margin.
The branch network remains overwhelmingly largest concentration around 40%.
We do see those deposits as core obviously, there's a little bit more expensive, but they are.
At the margin.
It's expensive than FHLB borrowings so. And 91% of those deposits are insured so we view those as core deposits but now they're more expensive than branch network deposits.
And 91% of those deposits are insured so we view those as core deposits but now they're more expensive than branch network deposits.
but now theyre more expensive than branch network deposits.
Branch network deposits.
Kevin from D. A Davidson: Alright, and I guess. As the rate environment. Maybe over time, those would get replaced and a different rate environment by branch based deposits.
as the rate environment. Maybe over time, those would get replaced and a different rate environment by branch based deposits.
Maybe over time, those would get replaced and a different rate environment by branch based deposits.
Sounds reasonable.
Craig Nix - CFO: Does that sound reasonable.
Kevin from D. A Davidson: Okay, Alright, that's it for me. Thank you very much guys.
Thank you. Our next question is from Brian Foran from Autonomous Research. Brian, please go ahead. Your line is open.
Brian Foran from Autonomous Research: Good morning. On that loan-to-deposit point, I mean, what would be like a rough timeline to get back to the mid-eighties in your mind? Or a range or are we talking multiple quarters or multiple years or somewhere in between?
On that loan to deposit point, I mean, what would be like a rough timeline to get back to the mid eighties in your mind. Or a range or are we talking multiple quarters or multiple years or somewhere in between.
Or a range or are we talking multiple quarters or multiple years or somewhere in between.
Craig Nix - CFO: It's multiple years, and it's sort of tethered to the to this note that the FDIC, so I would put it out three to four years to get that ratio into that range.
Note that the FDIC, so I would I would put it out three to four years to get that ratio into that range.
Brian Foran from Autonomous Research: Okay and then. I know it's too early for 2024 outlooks in guidance, but just when you think about the four Q NII.
I know it's too early for 2024 outlooks in guidance, but just when you think about the four Q NII.
I think everything ties out to about $1.8 billion recorded in 1.65 billion ex accretable yield kind of got all your comments right.
Is that is that $1.65 billion kind of a base to work off of in your mind or are there still you know, obvious puts or takes. I guess is that like. Stabilized run rate that then maybe you could sustain or grow off of that in your mind or is there still some pressure to think about it in the first half of 'twenty four.
Obvious puts or takes.
I guess is that like.
Stabilized run rate that then maybe you could sustain or grow off of that in your mind or is there still some pressure to think about it in the first half of 'twenty four.
Craig Nix - CFO: Well in 24, if you look at the forward curve. There's five late cuts. Projected next year, given our asset sensitivity.
There's five late cuts.
Projected next year, given our asset sensitivity.
We would have declining net interest income in absolute dollars and in margin if that was to occur.
Declining net interest income in absolute dollars and in margin if that was to occur.
Although I think our margin will be very respectable compared to peers, even in that environment.
But I would work off of the 1.8 to $1.9 days and then consider what type of rate cuts might do on the back half of 'twenty-four.
Brian Foran from Autonomous Research: Got it. Okay. Thank you very much.
Okay. Thank you very much.
Craig Nix - CFO: Yes. Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Christopher Merrimack from Jamie Montgomery Scott. Christopher, please go ahead your line is open.
Jamie Montgomery Scott Christopher. Please go ahead your line is open.
Chris Marinac from Jamie Montgomery Scott: Hi, Thanks, Good morning, I wanted to follow back up Craig and team on the liquidity. Look at the liquidity information, you've given us, which you've already be kind of at the full LCR. If that's imposed on the new capital guidelines.
Look at the liquidity information, you've given us, which you've already be kind of at the full LCR. If that's imposed on the new capital guidelines.
Craig Nix - CFO: Yes, I think we would exceed it.
Chris Marinac from Jamie Montgomery Scott: Okay. That's what I thought I just wanted to verify that's great well thanks for that information there. And then.
That's what I thought I just wanted to verify that's great well thanks for that information there. And then.
And then.
Is there anything that you are doing or have done here. The last several months apart sort of retaining staff is there anything kind of different that you are implementing now that you've had a full quarter to integrate SVB?
Kind of different that you are implementing now that you've had a full quarter to integrate SVB.
to integrate SVB.
Craig Nix - CFO: Are you speaking with respect to SVB or just in general.
Chris Marinac from Jamie Montgomery Scott: Really SVB. Thanks.
Craig Nix - CFO: We have retention and severance, payments promised in terms of our merger costs that I just mentioned so we do have retention.
Payments.
Promised in terms of our merger costs that I just mentioned so we do have retention Peter.
Peter I think you're doing I think we're doing a great job keeping our revenue producing bankers in place. So all of that all of that sort of accrued and ends up run rate so. So we're doing really well with retention.
Revenue producing bankers in place.
So all of that all of that sort of accrued and ends up run rate so. So we're doing really well with retention.
Run rate so.
So we're doing really well with retention.
Chris Marinac from Jamie Montgomery Scott: Great. Okay. Thanks for that and then just final thing from me is did the unfunded commitment reserve changed at all or was that stable in the quarter?
Craig Nix - CFO: It was fairly stable, it declined like $12 million to $15 million range.
<unk> declined. $12 million to $15 million range.
$12 million to $15 million range.
Chris Marinac from Jamie Montgomery Scott: Perfect Okay. Great. Thank you for taking all my questions.
Great.
Thank you for taking all my questions.
Craig Nix - CFO: Okay. Thank you.
Operator: Thank you before we take our next question just like to remind everyone to register a question. Please press star followed by one on your telephone keypad.
Our next question is from Brody Preston from UBS. Please go ahead your line is open.
Brody Preston from UPS.
Please go ahead your line is open.
Brody Preston from UBS: Good morning, everyone. I think I'm last which is good because I've got a handful of questions.
I wanted to ask if you have to go through CCAR in 2024, and how much more inexpensive do you think you need to build for the enhanced regulation.
Craig Nix - CFO: These expenses are baked in. We have the resources, although we're constantly hiring talent so. The numbers, we talk about in terms of run rate include heightened expenses to meet the regulatory standards.
We have the resources, although we're constantly hiring talent so.
The numbers, we talk about in terms of run rate include heightened expenses to meet the regulatory standards.
Brody Preston from UBS: Okay and do you have to go through CCAR in 'twenty four.
Craig Nix - CFO: 24, we have to submit a capital plan to the fed. So we're subject to the capital plan rules 25, we become CCAR. A CCAR bank. But given our category for size, we will not submit CCAR until 2026.
So we're subject to the capital plan rules 25, we become CCAR.
A CCAR bank.
But given our category for size, we will not submit CCAR until 2026.
Brody Preston from UBS: Got it thank you for that.
On the loss share agreement do you have enough of a dollar amount on the estimated total amount covered by the loss share and then for the $97 million in <inaudible> do you recover any of that from the law the loss share?
Craig Nix - CFO: Okay. Robert, it's telling me its 64 around $64 billion. The first loss tranche is $5 billion and. And we don't anticipate losses nearing that so. We don't anticipate reimbursements from the FDIC for charge offs.
Robert Celanese 64 around $64 billion.
The first loss tranche is $5 billion and. And we don't anticipate losses nearing that so.
And we don't anticipate losses nearing that so.
We don't anticipate reimbursements from the FDIC for charge offs.
Brody Preston from UBS: Got it and what drove the extra $52 million of MTO is from sort of be above the $45 million that you ID'd last quarter like was there any of it on the cost will be okay, but you decided to move on from something?
Okay.
Craig Nix - CFO: In terms of the in terms of our charge offs.
Brody Preston from UBS: Yes, yes, yes, just the additional. You called out $97 million. The related NCO is last quarter, you had flagged $45 million specifically in the deck I was just wondering. What drove you to move on from the other 52.
You called out $97 million.
The related NCO is last quarter, you had flagged $45 million specifically in the deck I was just wondering.
What drove you to move on from the other 52.
Craig Nix - CFO: We didnt decomposed at $11 million Delta.
Brody Preston from UBS: Okay.
Craig Nix - CFO: <inaudible> for 96 week reserved for 85. Another 11 would be in the general reserve.
Another 11 would be in the general reserve.
Brody Preston from UBS: Yes, I was talking more to the you had called out 45, specifically that you had reserved for last quarter that was planning on being charged off but you charged off 85 that you had reserved for this quarter I was just wondering what that is. If there was any reason for that $45.
If there was any reason for that $45.
Craig Nix - CFO: It was a large single charge off but we had 85 reserved against the line as the 97 that charged off during the quarter.
Brody Preston from UBS: Got it okay. And then just on the deposit base the noninterest-bearing levels I was wondering how those have changed and how those changed since May you gave the 3.31, but the overall deposit balances were flattish since may so I just wanted more insight on the mix since that may fit date that you gave in the last the last quarter's deck.
And then just on the SMB deposit base the noninterest bearing levels I was wondering how those have changed and how those changed since may you gave the $3 31, but the overall deposit balances were flattish since may so I just wanted more insight on the mix since that may fit date that you gave in the last the last quarter's deck.
I'm talking SBB.
Yeah specific to SVB.
Craig Nix - CFO: The noninterest so so I don't have that information sitting in front of me, but in terms of noninterest-bearing. We started at 35 billion on SVB and at the end of the quarter, we were at 21.
In terms of noninterest bearing.
We started at $35 billion on SVB. And at the end of the quarter, we were at 21.
And at the end of the quarter, we were at 21.
Brody Preston from UBS: Got it okay.
Do you happen to have the overall spot interest-bearing deposit costs at quarter end Craig?
Right.
Craig Nix - CFO: Do you have that handy. Im looking it up right now. Our cost of deposits. At the end of the second quarter was 1.68%.
Okay.
Im looking it up right now.
No I haven't seen marathon.
Okay.
Our cost of deposits. At the end of the second quarter was 1.68%.
At the end of the second quarter was 1.68%.
Brody Preston from UBS: Okay.
I also wanted to ask on the on the off balance sheet client funds what drove the decline from the 79 million that you had in April and I guess, how did that trend through June and now through July and then also the fee rate it looks a little bit lower than legacy B was so I wanted to better understand what was driving that.
To understand what was driving that.
Craig Nix - CFO: Okay. The balances we included in the presentation.
The balances we included in the presentation.
Flipping to the off-balance sheet client funds came in at $88 billion and ended the quarter at 70.
off-balance sheet client funds came in at $88 million.
and ended the quarter at 70.
Brody Preston from UBS: Yes, I was just wondering if you had any insight as to what drove them what drove them lower. From the April level.

Peter Bristow: Youre not seeing a lot of inflows. But the fact that we have. The 60 or 70. Off balance sheet has been fairly consistent. I think it's a really good reflection of the fact that a lot of those clients are still here and still choosing us for their business. They are just moving more off balance sheet as opposed to end in the bag. So.
Sure.

And then.
The last one was Craig, you guys. It's such a small portion of the loan portfolio now that class B office that you inherited from CIC I think the $1.1 billion is what from the commercial bank and so it's less than 1% of loans, we saw another large bank, and capital one just kind of. Move on from their class B and C office portfolio and put it in hold for sale. It took a big charge off on it this quarter.
