SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2012 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — July 26, 2012 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2012 was $47.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, compared to $34.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2012, and $65.8 million, or $1.50 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2011. Consolidated net income included pre-tax gains of $5.0 million and $37.3 million for the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively, from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities, pre-tax gains of $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2012 from the sale of certain assets related to our equity management services business, and pre-tax gains of $3.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 from the early extinguishment of debt and the termination of corresponding interest rate swaps. Excluding these gains, net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $42.1 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share, compared to $41.4 million, or $0.95 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2011 (See non-GAAP reconciliation under section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.)

“Our results in the second quarter show that SVB’s clients continue to perform well and that we are able to execute on our strategy, despite the challenging business climate. We delivered exceptional loan growth, outstanding credit quality, and significant increases in total client funds, all of which contributed to robust earnings,” said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. “While the broader economic outlook remains uncertain, it is clear that the strong position we have built as the bank of choice for innovation companies around the world is a meaningful advantage in the current environment.”

Highlights of our second quarter 2012 results (compared to first quarter 2012, unless otherwise noted) included:

 

•

Continued strong growth in our lending business with record high average loan balances of $7.2 billion, an increase of $432.8 million (or 6.4 percent). Period-end loan balances were $7.8 billion, an increase of $668.5 million (or 9.4 percent).

 

•

Strong overall credit quality, as reflected by our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans of 1.25 percent. Our provision for loan losses of $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to loan growth.

 

•

Average deposit balances of $17.4 billion, an increase of $441.9 million (or 2.6 percent). Period-end deposits balances were $18.1 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion (or 8.1 percent). Our total period-end client funds (including both deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds) increased by $2.3 billion to $38.2 billion at June 30, 2012.

 

•

Net interest margin of 3.22 percent, a decrease of 8 basis points. While our net interest margin declined, net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) increased by $1.0 million to $152.4 million primarily from loan growth.

 

•

Gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $11.3 million, compared to $0.5 million. The gains of $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 included $5.0 million from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.)

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $82.4 million, or $1.85 per diluted common share, compared to $98.8 million, or $2.27 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2011 period. Non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $76.9 million, or $1.72 per diluted common share, compared to $74.4 million, or $1.71 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2011 period.

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 June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $1.0 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

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

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

(5)	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 $152.4 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $151.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $130.9 million for the second quarter of 2011. The following table provides a summary of changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to both volume and rate from the first to the second quarter of 2012. Changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate:

 

		Q2’12 compared to Q1’12
		Increase (decrease) due to change in
(Dollars in thousands)		Volume				Rate				Total
Interest income:
Short-term investment securities		$	(278	)		$	152			$	(126	)
Available-for-sale securities			1,914				(5,217	)			(3,303	)
Loans			6,851				(2,377	)			4,474
Increase (decrease) in interest income, net			8,487				(7,442	)			1,045
Interest expense:
Deposits			82				51				133
Short-term borrowings			96				3				99
Long-term debt			(230	)			45				(185	)
(Decrease) increase in interest expense, net			(52	)			99				47
Increase (decrease) in net interest income		$	8,539			$	(7,541	)		$	998

The increase in net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, from the first to the second quarter of 2012, was primarily attributable to the following:

 

•

An increase in interest income of $4.5 million from our loan portfolio, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $432.8 million, as well as an increase in loan prepayment fees. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the yield on our portfolio, which is consistent with our credit performance and also reflective of our success in growing our later stage client portfolio. Additionally, the trend in yields is being influenced by changes in the composition of our loan portfolio to a higher proportion of variable-rate loans tied to LIBOR and national Prime rate benchmarks.

 

•

A decrease of $3.3 million in interest income from available-for-sale securities primarily due to an increase in premium amortization expense on fixed-rate mortgage securities, consistent with the impact of the level of long-term market rates on actual and estimated mortgage prepayments. This decrease in overall yield was partially offset by an increase in average balances of $434.0 million, primarily due to the full-quarter effect of new investments purchased during the first quarter of 2012. No new investments were made in the second quarter of 2012 as cash flows were used to fund loan growth and reduce overnight borrowings.

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.22 percent for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 3.30 percent for the first quarter of 2012 and 3.13 percent for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in our net interest margin from the first to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily due to increased premium amortization expense on fixed-rate mortgage securities and lower yields on our loan portfolio. These decreases were partially offset by growth in average loan balances, which has resulted in a favorable change in our mix of interest-earning assets.

For the second quarter of 2012, 74.6 percent, or $5.6 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-rate indices. This compares to 73.6 percent, or $5.1 billion, for the first quarter of 2012 and 71.0 percent, or $4.1 billion, for the second quarter of 2011. For the second quarter of 2012, average variable-rate available-for-sale securities were $2.2 billion, or 20.1 percent of our available-for-sale securities portfolio, compared to $2.3 billion, or 22.4 percent in the first quarter of 2012. These securities have variable-rate 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 optimize portfolio yield over the long-term consistent with our liquidity, credit diversification and asset/liability management strategies.

Average available-for-sale securities increased by $434.0 million to $10.9 billion for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $10.5 billion for the first quarter of 2012 and $9.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Period-end available-for-sale securities were $10.6 billion at June 30, 2012, $11.5 billion at March 31, 2012 and $9.6 billion at June 30, 2011. The increase in average available-for-sale of $434.0 million was due to the full-quarter effect of purchases made in the first quarter. The decrease in period-end available-for-sale securities of $906.6 million from the first to the second quarter of 2012 was due to paydowns of $603.1 million and sales of $315.7 million in U.S. agency securities in the second quarter of 2012, which resulted in pre-tax gains of $5.0 million. The proceeds from the sales and paydowns of available-for-sale securities during the quarter were used primarily to fund loan growth and to reduce overnight borrowings.

Non-Marketable Securities

Our non-marketable securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital funds, debt funds and private portfolio companies.

Non-marketable securities increased by $110.4 million to $1.1 billion ($460.5 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2012, compared to $1.0 billion ($360.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) at March 31, 2012 and $875.2 million ($331.6 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2011. The increase from the first to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to the funding of our capital contribution of $79.7 million to our joint venture bank in China, as well as gains 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 $7.2 billion for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $6.8 billion for the first quarter of 2012 and $5.5 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Period-end loans, net of unearned income, were $7.8 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $7.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and $6.0 billion at June 30, 2011. The increase in average and period-end loan balances from the first to the second quarter of 2012 came primarily from sponsor-led buyouts in the software niche and from our venture capital/private equity clients for capital calls.

Loans (individually or in the aggregate) to any single client, equal to or greater than $20 million totaled $2.4 billion, $2.0 billion and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, which represents 30.7 percent, 28.3 percent and 26.1 percent of total gross loans, respectively. Further details are provided under the section “Loan Concentrations.”

Credit Quality

The following table provides a summary of our allowance for loan losses:

 

		Three months ended												Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands, except ratios)		June 30, 2012				March 31, 2012				June 30, 2011				June 30, 2012				June 30, 2011
Allowance for loan losses, beginning balance		$	100,922			$	89,947			$	82,051			$	89,947			$	82,627
Provision for loan losses			7,999				14,529				134				22,528				(2,913	)
Gross loan charge-offs			(14,130	)			(6,990	)			(4,293	)			(21,120	)			(8,615	)
Loan recoveries			3,375				3,436				4,263				6,811				11,056
Allowance for loan losses, ending balance		$	98,166			$	100,922			$	82,155			$	98,166			$	82,155
Provision for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans (annualized)			0.41	%			0.81	%			0.01	%			0.58	%			(0.10	)%
Gross loan charge-offs as a percentage of average total gross loans (annualized)			0.78				0.41				0.31				0.60				0.32
Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average total gross loans (annualized)			0.59				0.21				0.00				0.41				(0.09	)
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of period-end total gross loans			1.25				1.41				1.36				1.25				1.36
Total gross loans at period-end		$	7,857,468			$	7,180,779			$	6,030,966			$	7,857,468			$	6,030,966
Average total gross loans			7,297,446				6,861,122				5,579,271				7,079,284				5,468,200

Our provision for loan losses was $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2012. The provision of $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to loan growth.

Gross loan charge-offs of $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 included a $7.1 million charge-off from a single nonperforming hardware loan that was specifically reserved for in the first quarter of 2012. The remaining charge-offs were primarily from our hardware and software loan portfolios. Loan recoveries of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2012 were primarily from our software and other commercial loan portfolios.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans decreased from 1.41 percent at March 31, 2012 to 1.25 percent at June 30, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to the $7.1 million charge-off for the single nonperforming loan described above as well as the reduction of $4.1 million in specific reserves related to this loan. The allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans was 1.18 percent at June 30, 2012, compared to 1.16 percent at March 31, 2012.

Our nonperforming loans totaled $27.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $41.7 million at March 31, 2012. The decrease of $14.6 million came primarily from the charge-off of $7.1 million for the loan described above, as well as paydowns of $7.0 million on nonperforming loans. The allowance for loan losses related to nonperforming loans was $5.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $18.4 million at March 31, 2012.

Client Funds

Our client funds consist of both deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds. Our total period-end client funds increased by $2.4 billion to $38.2 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $35.8 billion at March 31, 2012. Our total average client funds increased by $1.5 billion to $37.3 billion for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $35.8 billion for the first quarter of 2012.

Deposits

Average deposits were $17.4 billion for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $17.0 billion for the first quarter of 2012 and $15.3 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Period-end deposits increased by $1.4 billion to $18.1 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $16.7 billion at March 31, 2012 and $16.3 billion at June 30, 2011. The increase in period-end deposits from the first to the second quarter of 2012 came primarily from an increase in our noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which increased by $1.0 billion to $12.8 billion. Overall deposit growth was primarily due to new client acquisition and increased fundraising activity from our existing venture capital/private equity clients.

Off-Balance Sheet Client Investment Funds

Average off-balance sheet client investment funds were $19.9 billion for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $18.9 billion for the first quarter of 2012 and $17.8 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Period-end client investment funds were $20.1 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $19.1 billion at March 31, 2012 and $18.2 billion at June 30, 2011. The increase in average and period-end total client investment funds from the first to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily due to our clients’ increased utilization of our off-balance sheet sweep product.

Short-term Borrowings

Period-end short-term borrowings decreased by $843.5 million to $5.9 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $849.4 million at March 31, 2012. Overnight borrowings of $845.0 million from March 31, 2012 were repaid during the quarter primarily with the proceeds from sales and paydowns of available-for-sale securities.

Long-term Debt

Long-term debt was $458.2 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $601.8 million at March 31, 2012. The decrease of $143.6 million was primarily due to the maturity of our 5.70% Senior Notes on June 1, 2012.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $80.4 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $59.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $123.7 million for the second quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests and excluding gains on sales of certain available-for-sale securities (in the second quarters of 2012 and 2011) and excluding gains from the sale of certain assets related to our equity management services business (in the second quarter of 2012) was $57.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $51.4 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $59.8 million for the second quarter of 2011. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest income and non-GAAP net gains on investment securities discussed in this section are provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The increase of $21.1 million in noninterest income from the first to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily driven by higher gains on investment securities, while our fee income remained at comparable levels. Items impacting the change in noninterest income from the first to the second quarter of 2012 were as follows:

 

•

Net gains on investment securities were $25.8 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to net gains of $7.8 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net of noncontrolling interest, net gains on investment securities were $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2012. The gains, net of noncontrolling interests, of $11.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 were primarily driven by the following:

 

•

Gains of $6.7 million from our nonmarketable securities, primarily related to unrealized gains from investments in debt funds and certain fund investments.

 

•

Gains of $5.0 million from the sale of $315.7 million U.S. agency securities that were held in our available-for-sale portfolio. Proceeds from the sale of these securities were used to reduce overnight borrowings.

As of June 30, 2012, we held investments, either directly or through 12 of our managed investment funds, in 463 funds (primarily venture capital funds), 108 companies and five debt funds.

(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. This is offset by the gains and losses from the revaluation of these foreign currency denominated loans, which are recorded in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

(2)	Primarily represents the change in fair value of loan conversion options.

The key changes in factors affecting net gains on derivative instruments from the first to the second quarter of 2012 were as follows:

 

•

Net gains of $3.0 million on internal foreign exchange forward contracts for our foreign currency denominated loans for the second quarter of 2012 compared to net losses of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. The net gains for the second quarter of 2012 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and Pound Sterling, and were partially offset by net losses of $3.1 million from the revaluation of foreign currency denominated loans that are included in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income (as discussed below).

 

•

Net gains on equity warrant assets of $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. The net gains for the second quarter of 2012 were driven by merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity, and included gains of $3.3 million from valuation increases and gains of $2.2 million from the exercise of equity warrant assets.

---

The above increases in noninterest income were partially offset by a decrease in other noninterest income of $0.4 million. The key changes in factors affecting other noninterest income from the first to the second quarter of 2012 were as follows:

 

•

Net losses of $3.1 million from the revaluation of our foreign currency denominated loans for the second quarter of 2012 compared to net gains of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2012. The losses for the second quarter of 2012 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and Pound Sterling, and were partially offset by net gains of $3.0 million from our internal forward exchange forward contracts that are included in the line item “Gains on derivative instruments, net” as part of noninterest income (as discussed above).

 

•

Currency revaluation losses of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to gains of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2012. The losses for the second quarter of 2012 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Indian Rupee.

 

•

Net gains of $4.2 million from the sale of certain assets related to our equity management services business in the second quarter of 2012.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $135.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $132.0 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $121.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. The key factors contributing to the increase in noninterest expense from the first to the second quarter of 2012 were as follows:

 

•

A provision for unfunded credit commitments of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to a reduction of provision of $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2012. The provision of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded credit commitment balances of $886.6 million.

 

•

An increase of $1.9 million in professional services expense to support our ongoing business and infrastructure initiatives.

 

•

An increase of $1.9 million in premises and equipment, primarily due to increased spending to enhance and maintain our IT infrastructure.

The above increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by the following:

 

•

A decrease of $3.4 million in compensation and benefits expense. The following table provides a summary of our compensation and benefits expense:

 

		Three months ended												Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands)		June 30, 2012				March 31, 2012				June 30, 2011				June 30, 2012				June 30, 2011
Compensation and benefits:
Salaries and wages		$	37,501			$	38,120			$	32,634			$	75,621			$	66,441
Incentive compensation plan			18,783				15,716				23,763				34,499				39,418
Employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”)			2,055				5,431				3,215				7,486				8,569

Total compensation and benefits		$	80,385			$	83,737			$	79,888			$	164,122			$	155,520
Period-end full-time equivalent employees			1,562				1,554				1,428				1,562				1,428
Average full-time equivalent employees			1,566				1,556				1,416				1,561				1,403

 

(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.

The key changes in factors affecting compensation and benefits expense from the first to the second quarter of 2012 were as follows:

 

•

A decrease of $6.4 million in ESOP contributions and 401(k) employer matching contributions, primarily due to seasonal 2011 incentive compensation payouts made during the first quarter of 2012.

 

•

An increase of $3.1 million in incentive compensation expense, which reflects our current expectation that we will exceed our internal performance targets for 2012.

Non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests and excluding net gains from debt repurchases (in the second quarter of 2011), was $131.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $129.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $121.5 million for the second quarter of 2011. 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 39.8 percent for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 40.6 percent for the first quarter of 2012 and 39.7 percent for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in the tax rate from the first to the second quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to lower taxes on foreign operations and lower state tax rates. Our effective tax rate was 40.2 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 40.1 percent for the comparable 2011 period.

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

Included in net income is income and expense related to noncontrolling interests. The relevant amounts allocated to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” on our statements of income. The following table provides a summary of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests:

 

		Three months ended												Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands)		June 30, 2012				March 31, 2012				June 30, 2011				June 30, 2012				June 30, 2011
Net interest income (1)		$	(38	)		$	(43	)		$	(45	)		$	(81	)		$	(52	)
Noninterest income (1)			(11,210	)			(6,632	)			(28,418	)			(17,842	)			(70,789	)
Noninterest expense (1)			3,947				2,818				2,621				6,765				6,102
Carried interest (2)			(2,174	)			(1,286	)			1,860				(3,460	)			669
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests		$	(9,475	)		$	(5,143	)		$	(23,982	)		$	(14,618	)		$	(64,070	)

 

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

(2)	Represents the preferred allocation of income earned by the general partners or limited partners of certain consolidated funds.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $24.0 million for the second quarter of 2011. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily a result of the following:

 

•

Net gains on investment securities (including carried interest) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $14.5 million, primarily from gains of $13.3 million from our managed funds of funds and $1.2 million from our managed direct venture funds.

 

•

Noninterest expense of $3.9 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 $75.9 million to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2012, primarily due to net income of $47.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $14.8 million primarily due to an increase in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio as a result of decreases in market interest rates. Additionally, our additional-paid-in capital increased by $13.5 million primarily due to stock purchases under our employee stock purchase plan and stock option exercises.

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.

 

18

---

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 for 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 requirements. 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.

In particular, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP measures that exclude the following 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 $5.0 million and $37.3 million from the sales of certain available-for-sale securities in the second quarters of 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

•

Gains of $4.2 million from the sale of certain assets related to our equity management services business in the second quarter of 2012.

 

•

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.
