SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2011 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — October 20, 2011 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2011 was $37.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, compared to $65.8 million, or $1.50 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2011, and $37.8 million, or $0.89 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2010. Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2011 included gains of $22.5 million (net of tax) from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities and gains of $1.9 million (net of tax) from the early extinguishment of debt and the termination of corresponding interest rate swaps. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 2010 included gains of $14.2 million (net of tax) from the sale of certain agency-backed available-for-sale securities. Excluding these gains, net income for the second quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010 was $41.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share, and $23.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, respectively. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” provided below.)

“SVB delivered another quarter of strong earnings marked by outstanding loan growth and high credit quality,” said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. “These results reflect the robust business activity that differentiates our innovation-focused clients from the broader economy, and provides further evidence that we have the right long-term strategy and are executing effectively.”

Highlights of our third quarter 2011 results (compared to second quarter 2011, unless otherwise noted) included:

 

•

Strong growth in our lending business with average loan balances of $6.0 billion, an increase of $473.8 million from the second quarter of 2011.

 

•

Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $135.9 million, an increase of $5.0 million from the second quarter of 2011.

 

•

A nominal provision for loan losses of $0.8 million for the quarter due to loan growth, offset by net recoveries. Overall, our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans decreased to 1.34 percent from 1.36 percent in the second quarter primarily due to continued strong overall credit quality.

 

•

Gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, were $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2011 (the second quarter of 2011 amount also excludes gains from certain available-for-sale securities sold in late June).

 

•

Net gains on equity warrant assets of $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $13.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease was primarily due to higher than normal gains recognized in the second quarter of 2011. The net gains of $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 reflect the continued strength of M&A activity within our client base.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $136.3 million, or $3.12 per diluted common share, compared to $77.5 million, or $1.83 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2010 period. Non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, excluding gains from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities (in the second quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010) and gains from the early extinguishment of debt and the termination of corresponding interest rate swaps (in the second quarter of 2011), was $111.9 million, or $2.57 per diluted common share, and $62.6 million, or $1.48 per diluted common share, respectively.

Interest income on non-taxable investments is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0 percent. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $0.5 million for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $1.5 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(3)	Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly and year-to-date average assets.

(4)	Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly and year-to-date average SVBFG stockholders’ equity.

(5)	The operating efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income.

(6)	Book value per common share is calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders’ equity by total outstanding common shares.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $135.9 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $130.9 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $106.9 million for the third quarter of 2010. The following table provides a summary of changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to both volume and rate from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011. Changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate (principally changes in the number of days from quarter to quarter) are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate:

 

		Q3'11 compared to Q2'11
		Increase (decrease) due to change in
(Dollars in thousands)		Volume				Rate				Total
Interest income:
Short-term investment securities		$	(112	)		$	(108	)		$	(220	)
Available-for-sale securities			535				(5,372	)			(4,837	)
Loans			8,960				(733	)			8,227
Increase (decrease) in interest income, net			9,383				(6,213	)			3,170
Interest expense:
Deposits			(149	)			(695	)			(844	)
Short-term borrowings			(9	)			—				(9	)
Long-term debt			(916	)			(70	)			(986	)
(Decrease) increase in interest expense, net			(1,074	)			(765	)			(1,839	)
Increase (decrease) in net interest income		$	10,457			$	(5,448	)		$	5,009

The increase in net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011, was primarily attributable to the following:

 

•

An increase in interest income of $8.2 million from our loan portfolio, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $473.8 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the overall yield on our portfolio resulting from changes in loan composition.

 

•

A decrease of $1.0 million in interest expense on borrowings mainly attributable to the full quarter impact of the maturity of $250.0 million of our 3.875% Convertible Notes in April 2011 and the repurchase of $108.6 million of our 5.70% Senior Notes and $204.0 million of our 6.05% Subordinated Notes in May 2011.

 

•

A decrease of $0.8 million in interest expense on deposits due to the full-quarter impact of decreases in rates paid on certain deposits in June 2011, which is reflective of current market rates, as well as a decrease in average interest-bearing deposit balances of $548.8 million.

The above increases in net interest income were partially offset by the following:

 

•

A decrease in interest income of $4.8 million from our available-for-sale securities portfolio, primarily due to the full-quarter impact of sales of higher-yielding securities towards the end of the second quarter of 2011 (which resulted in pre-tax gains of $37.3 million), which were reinvested at lower yields available in the current rate environment.

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.13 percent for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 3.13 percent for the second quarter of 2011 and 3.14 percent for the third quarter of 2010. The main factors affecting our net interest margin for the third quarter of 2011 were lower yields on our available-for-sale securities due to the full-quarter impact of sales of higher-yielding securities towards the end of the second quarter of 2011 (which resulted in pre-tax gains of $37.3 million). This decrease was offset by decreases in rates paid on our deposits reflective of current market rates, as well as an increase in net interest margin from growth in average loan balances.

For the third quarter of 2011, 71.5 percent, or $4.4 billion, of our average outstanding gross loans were variable-rate loans that adjust at prescribed measurement dates upon a change in prime-lending rates or other variable indices. This compares to 71.0 percent, or $4.1 billion, for the second quarter of 2011 and 70.8 percent, or $3.3 billion, for the third quarter of 2010. For the third quarter of 2011, average variable-rate available-for-sale securities were $2.6 billion, or 27.4 percent of our available-for-sale securities portfolio, compared to $2.8 billion, or 29.2 percent in the second quarter of 2011. These securities have variable coupons that are indexed to and change with movements in the one-month LIBOR rate.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio consists of both an available-for-sale securities portfolio, which represents interest-earning investment securities, and a non-marketable securities portfolio, which primarily represents investments managed as part of our funds management business.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Our available-for-sale securities portfolio is a fixed income investment portfolio that is managed to maximize portfolio yield over the long-term in a manner consistent with our liquidity, credit diversification and asset/liability strategies.

Average available-for-sale securities increased by $107.6 million to $9.6 billion for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $9.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011 and $5.3 billion for the third quarter of 2010. Period-end available-for-sale securities were $9.6 billion at both September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, and $6.0 billion at September 30, 2010. During the third quarter of 2011 we purchased $699.9 million in new investments, which was offset by paydowns of $725.9 million.

Non-Marketable Securities

Our non-marketable securities portfolio primarily represents venture capital investments managed by SVB Capital, investments in debt funds and other strategic investments. They include funds of funds, co-investment funds, fund investments and debt funds, as well as direct equity investments in portfolio companies.

Period-end non-marketable securities were $952.0 million ($346.4 million net of noncontrolling interests) as of September 30, 2011, compared to $875.2 million ($331.6 million net of noncontrolling interests) as of June 30, 2011 and $656.1 million ($280.1 million net of noncontrolling interests) as of September 30, 2010. The increase from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to additional capital calls for fund investments in the third quarter of 2011, as well as increased valuations from our managed funds. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP non-marketable securities, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Loans

Average loans, net of unearned income, were $6.0 billion for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $5.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011 and $4.5 billion for the third quarter of 2010. Period-end loans, net of unearned income, were $6.3 billion at September 30, 2011, compared to $6.0 billion at June 30, 2011 and $4.9 billion at September 30, 2010. The increase in average and period-end loan balances from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 came primarily from software industry clients.

Our nonperforming loans totaled $40.5 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $36.3 million at June 30, 2011 and $45.0 million at September 30, 2010. The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans was $6.0 million, $6.2 million and $6.5 million at September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2010, respectively.

We had a provision for loan losses of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to a provision of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2011. The provision of $0.8 million was primarily due to an increase in the allowance for the increase in period-end loans. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the allowance for our performing loans as a percentage of total performing loans due to changes in loan composition. Gross loan charge-offs of $8.2 million for the third quarter of 2011 were primarily from our hardware and software portfolios. Loan recoveries of $10.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 were primarily from our private bank and life science portfolios.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans decreased from 1.36 percent at June 30, 2011 to 1.34 percent at September 30, 2011, primarily due to a reduction in the reserve for our performing loans. Our allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans was 1.25 percent at September 30, 2011, compared to 1.27 percent at June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to continued strong overall credit quality.

Deposits

Average deposits were $15.8 billion for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $15.3 billion for the second quarter of 2011 and $11.9 billion for the third quarter of 2010. Period-end deposits were $16.1 billion at September 30, 2011, compared to $16.3 billion at June 30, 2011 and $12.4 billion at September 30, 2010. The increase in average deposits from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 came primarily from an increase in our noninterest bearing demand deposits, which increased by $1.1 billion to $10.6 billion, partially offset by a decrease of $491.9 million in our sweep deposits. The overall increase in our deposit balances was primarily due to growth from new clients and the continued lack of attractive market investment opportunities for our deposit clients.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $95.6 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $123.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $86.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests and excluding gains on sales of certain available-for-sale securities (in the second quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010) was $54.4 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $59.8 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $45.0 million for the third quarter of 2010. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest income and non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, both of which exclude amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, are provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The decrease of $28.1 million in noninterest income from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 was primarily driven by the following factors:

 

•

Net gains on investment securities of $52.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $71.7 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net of noncontrolling interests and excluding gains from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities (in the second quarter of 2011), net gains on investment securities were $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. The net gains, net of noncontrolling interests, of $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2011 were primarily due to the continued trend of increased valuations of companies (primarily internet and social networking) in our managed funds.

As of September 30, 2011, we held investments, either directly or through twelve of our managed investment funds, in 453 funds that are primarily venture capital funds, 89 companies and five debt funds.

The following tables provide a summary of net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively:

A decrease in other noninterest income of $6.9 million, primarily due to the following:

 

•

Net losses of $3.8 million from revaluation of our foreign currency denominated loans for the third quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2011. The net losses of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2011 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, and were partially offset by net gains of $3.6 million from our forward exchange forward contracts that are included in the line item “Gains on derivative instruments, net” as part of noninterest income (as discussed below).

 

•

Currency revaluation losses of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to losses of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011. The losses of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Indian Rupee.

 

•

Loan syndication fees of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2011.

 

•

Net gains on derivative instruments were $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2011. The following table provides a summary of our net gains on derivative instruments:

 

		Three months ended												Nine months ended

Total gains on derivative instruments, net		$	9,951			$	13,651			$	1,257			$	24,153			$	4,565

 

(1)

Represents the change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts used to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure related to certain foreign currency denominated loans. Revaluations of foreign currency denominated loans are recorded in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

The key changes in factors affecting net gains on derivative instruments from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 were as follows:

 

•

Net gains on equity warrant assets of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $13.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. The net gains on equity warrant assets of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 reflect the continued strength of M&A activity within our client base. These gains were driven by gains of $3.5 million from valuation increases in our equity warrant portfolio and gains of $2.4 million from the exercise of certain equity warrant positions.

 

•

Net gains of $3.6 million on foreign exchange forward contracts for our foreign currency denominated loans in the third quarter of 2011, compared to net losses of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. The net gains of $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 were primarily

---

due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and were partially offset by net losses of $3.8 million from the revaluation of foreign currency denominated loans that are included in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income (as discussed above).

The above decreases in noninterest income were partially offset by the following:

 

•

An increase of $1.2 million in foreign exchange fee income, reflecting an increase in client trades as a result of increased volatility in foreign markets.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $127.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $121.0 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $104.2 million for the third quarter of 2010.

The following table provides a summary of noninterest expense items:

 

		Three months ended												Nine months ended

Average full-time equivalent employees			1,478				1,416				1,321				1,428				1,289

 

(1)	Other employee benefits expense includes employer payroll taxes, group health and life insurance, share-based compensation, 401(k), warrant and retention plans, agency fees and other employee related expenses.

(2)

Other noninterest expense includes premises and equipment, net occupancy, business development and travel, correspondent bank fees and other noninterest expenses. For further details of noninterest expense items, please refer to the section “Interim Consolidated Statements of Income” provided below.

The key factors affecting the increase in noninterest expense from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 were as follows:

 

•

Net gains of $3.1 million from the repurchase of debt and the termination of the associated portions of interest rate swaps in the second quarter of 2011.

 

•

An increase of $2.2 million in professional services expense, primarily due to an increase in IT activities in the third quarter of 2011 to maintain and enhance IT infrastructure and to support new initiatives.

 

•

A provision for unfunded credit commitments of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to a provision of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. The provision of $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2011 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded credit commitments and letters of credit balances of $204.6 million, as well as from changes in the composition of the unfunded loan commitments.

 

•

An increase of $0.7 million in salaries and wages primarily due to an increase in the number of average full-time equivalent employees (“FTE”), which increased by 62 to 1,478 FTEs for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 1,416 FTEs for the second quarter of 2011.

 

•

The above increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a decrease of $3.1 million in incentive compensation and employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) expenses, primarily reflective of our expected payout of incentive compensation based on our full year projected results.

Non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests and excluding net gains from debt repurchases (in the second quarter of 2011), was $124.7 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $121.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $101.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided below under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax expense rate was 41.6 percent for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 39.7 percent for the second quarter of 2011 and 39.8 percent for the third quarter of 2010. Our effective tax rate was 40.5 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 39.4 percent for the comparable 2010 period. The increases in the tax rates were primarily attributable to higher taxes on foreign operations and higher non-deductible expenses as a percentage of pre-tax income.

Our effective tax expense rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense by the sum of income before income tax expense and the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Noncontrolling Interests

(1)	Represents noncontrolling interests share in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense.

(2)

Represents the change in the preferred allocation of income we earn as general partners managing our managed funds, the preferred allocation earned by the general partner entity managing one of our consolidated sponsored debt funds, and the preferred allocation earned by the limited partners of two of our managed funds of funds.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $38.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, compared to net income of $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2010. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $38.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 was primarily a result of the following:

 

•

Net gains on investment securities (including carried interest) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $43.0 million, primarily from gains of $28.8 million from our managed funds of funds and $14.2 million from our managed co-investment funds.

 

•

Noninterest expense of $2.8 million, primarily related to management fees paid by the noncontrolling interests to our subsidiaries that serve as general partner.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

Total SVBFG stockholders’ equity increased by $99.2 million to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2011, primarily due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $52.1 million resulting from increases in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio as a result of decreases in market interest rates, net income of $37.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, and an increase in additional-paid-in-capital of $9.6 million primarily from stock option exercises during the third quarter of 2011.

Outlook for the Years Ending December 31, 2011 and 2012

Our outlook for the year ending December 31, 2011 and our preliminary outlook for selected items for the year ending December 31, 2012 is provided below on a GAAP basis, unless otherwise noted. We have provided our current outlook for the expected full year results of our significant forecasted activities. In general, we do not provide our outlook for items where the timing or financial impact are particularly uncertain and/or subject to market or other conditions beyond our control (such as level of IPO, M&A or general financing activity), or for potential unusual or non-recurring items; nevertheless, for 2011, we have provided estimates on two such items, specifically net gains (losses) on equity warrant assets and net gains (losses) on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests. The timing, magnitude and realization of the net gains (losses) on these two items is particularly uncertain because of the inherent variability of the valuation of the financial instruments. As a result, the fair value might increase or decrease materially, and the realized net proceeds upon disposition might be more or less than the recorded value. The outlook assumptions presented below are, by their nature, forward-looking statements and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties which are discussed below under the caption “Forward-Looking Statements.”

For the year ending December 31, 2011, compared to our full year 2010 results, we currently expect the following outlook:

 

		Current full year 2011 outlook compared to 2010 results (as of October 20, 2011)		Change in outlook compared to outlook reported as of July 21, 2011
Average loan balances		Increase at a percentage rate in the high twenties		Outlook increased from the mid twenties due to higher than expected growth in the third quarter of 2011
Average deposit balances		Increase at a percentage rate in the high twenties		No change from previous outlook
Net interest income		Increase at a percentage rate in the mid twenties		No change from previous outlook
Net interest margin		Between 3.05% and 3.15%		No change from previous outlook
Allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans		Between 1.20% and 1.30%		No change from previous outlook
Net loan charge-offs		Lower than 0.25% of average total gross loans		No change from previous outlook
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total gross loans		Lower than 2010 levels of 0.71%		No change from previous outlook
Fees for deposit services, letters of credit, business credit card, client investment, and foreign exchange, in aggregate		Increase at the percentage rate in the mid single digits		No change from previous outlook
Net gains (losses) on equity warrant assets		Between $25 million and $30 million		Outlook decreased from between $25 million and $35 million due to the recent slowdown of IPO activity and the general uncertain outlook for the economy
Net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests and excluding gains on sales of available-for-sale securities*		Between $25 million and $30 million		Outlook increased from between $15 million and $20 million due to higher than expected gains in the third quarter of 2011
Noninterest expense* (excluding expenses related to noncontrolling interests)		Increase at a percentage rate in the mid teens		No change from previous outlook

 

*

Non-GAAP

Preliminary 2012 Guidance for Selected Items

For the year ending December 31, 2012 compared to our full year 2011 expected results, we currently expect the following: (1) average loan growth in the mid teens, (2) gross loan charge-offs between 0.40% and 0.70% of average total gross loans (assuming no significant deterioration in the overall economy), (3) net interest income growth of approximately 10%, (4) core fee income (deposit service charges, letters of credit, business credit card, client investment fees and foreign exchange fees) growth in the mid single digits, and (5) expense growth in the mid to high single digits.

(1)	Client investment funds are maintained at third party financial institutions.

Period-end total client investment funds were $18.7 billion at September 30, 2011, compared to $18.2 billion at June 30, 2011 and $16.1 billion at September 30, 2010. The increase in average and period-end total client investment funds from the second quarter to the third quarter of 2011 was primarily due to an increase in client investment assets under management, mainly attributable to a steadily improving funding environment for both private and public clients, as well as our increased efforts to move funds off the balance sheet. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in client directed investment assets, primarily attributable to lower margins available to clients on certain products owing to historically low rates in the short-term fixed income markets.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures (non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, non-GAAP non-marketable securities, non-GAAP noninterest expense, and non-GAAP financial ratios) of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.

---

In particular, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP measures that exclude from net income and certain other financial line items in certain periods:

 

•

Income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests— As part of our funds management business, we recognize the entire income or loss from certain funds where we own less than 100 percent. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100 percent of the results of the funds that we are deemed to control or in which we have a majority ownership. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.” Our net income available to common stockholders includes only the portion of income or loss related to our ownership interest.

 

•

Gains of $37.3 million, $23.6 million and $1.1 million from the sales of certain available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2011, the third quarter of 2010 and the second quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

•

Net gains of $3.1 million from the repurchase of $108.6 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.70% Senior Notes and $204.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.05% Subordinated Notes and the termination of the associated portions of interest rate swaps in the second quarter of 2011.

In addition, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP financial ratios that are not required by GAAP or exclude certain financial items from their calculations that are otherwise required under GAAP, including:

 

•

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio— These ratios are not required by GAAP or applicable bank regulatory requirements, and are used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. Our ratios are calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders’ equity, by total assets or total risk-weighted assets, as applicable, after reducing amounts by acquired intangibles. The manner in which this ratio is calculated varies among companies. Accordingly, our ratios are not necessarily comparable to similar measures of other companies.

 

•

Non-GAAP return on average assets ratio; Non-GAAP return on average SVBFG stockholders’ equity ratio— These ratios exclude certain financial items that are otherwise required under GAAP. Our ratios are calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders (annualized) by average assets or average SVBFG stockholders’ equity, as applicable.

 

•

Non-GAAP operating efficiency ratio— This ratio excludes certain financial items that are otherwise required under GAAP. It is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total taxable equivalent income, after reducing both amounts by taxable equivalent income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests and the gains noted above for applicable periods.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by: (i) excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests which we effectively do not receive the economic benefit or cost of, where indicated, or (ii) providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirement. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the financial tables below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.
