SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2013 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — July 25, 2013 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2013 was $48.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, compared to $40.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2013, and $47.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2012. Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 2012 included pre-tax gains of $5.0 million from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities and pre-tax gains of $4.2 million from the sale of certain assets related to our equity management services business. Excluding these gains, net income for the second quarter of 2012 was $42.1 million, or $0.94 per diluted common share. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.)

“We delivered very strong performance across the business, with outstanding growth in loans and total client funds, healthy gains on warrants and VC-related investments, and continued high credit quality. Our continued focus on building lifetime relationships with the best and most promising innovation companies contributed to solid returns in the second quarter and will help to set the stage for our future growth.”

Highlights of our second quarter 2013 results (compared to first quarter 2013, unless otherwise noted) included:

Average loan balances of $9.0 billion, an increase of $341 million (or 3.9 percent). Period-end loan balances were $9.6 billion, an increase of $777 million (or 8.8 percent).
Average total client funds (including both on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds) were $41.8 billion, an increase of $539 million (or 1.3 percent).
Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $170.5 million, an increase of $6.9 million (or 4.2 percent).
Net interest margin of 3.40 percent, an increase of 15 basis points.
A provision for loan losses of $18.6 million, compared to $5.8 million. The provision of $18.6 million was primarily driven by $8.8 million for period-end loan growth, as well as to provide for net charge-offs and a modest increase in our reserve for impaired loans.
Gains on investment securities of $40.6 million, compared to $27.4 million. Non-GAAP gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $9.5 million, compared to $5.1 million. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.)
Gains on equity warrant assets of $7.2 million, compared to $3.5 million.
A decrease in noninterest expense of $5.7 million (or 3.8 percent), primarily related to seasonal compensation-related expenses in the first quarter of 2013.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $89.5 million, or $1.96 per diluted common share, compared to $82.4 million, or $1.85 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2012 period. Non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $89.5 million, or $1.96 per diluted common share, compared to $76.9 million, or $1.72 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2012 period. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.)

(1)
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP calculations to GAAP is provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
(2)
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 $0.4 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, and $0.5 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2012September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $0.9 million and $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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)
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 $170.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $163.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $152.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. 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 2013. 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:

The increase in net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, from the first to the second quarter of 2013, was primarily attributable to the following:

An increase in interest income on loans of $8.0 million to $131.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. $6.0 million of this increase was driven by an increase in average balances of $341 million and $2.0 million was driven by higher overall loan yield. Included in these amounts is an increase in interest income of approximately $1.5 million from a one day increase in the number of days during the quarter (compared to the first quarter of 2013).

Overall loan yield increased by 8 basis points to 5.86 percent, primarily attributable to a 12 basis point increase in loan fee yield driven by a $2.5 million increase in loan prepayment fees. Loan yields excluding loan fees decreased by 4 basis points to 4.96 percent, reflective of a continued change in the mix of our loans that are indexed to the national Prime rate instead of the SVB Prime rate, as well as our success in growing our later stage client portfolio that is typically benchmarked to the three-month LIBOR.

A decrease in interest income on available-for-sale securities of $1.1 million to $45.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, primarily reflective of a $462 million decrease in average balances, partially offset by lower premium amortization expense, which increased interest income. Premium amortization expense decreased to $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2013, reflective of a decrease in mortgage prepayment levels for fixed-rate mortgage securities. As of June 30, 2013, the remaining unamortized premium balance on our available-for-sale securities portfolio was $100 million, compared to $106 million as of March 31, 2013.

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.40 percent for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 3.25 percent for the first quarter of 2013 and 3.22 percent for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in our net interest margin for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily reflective of a favorable shift in the mix of our interest-earning assets (higher average loan balances, lower average balances of cash and available-for-sale securities), as well as higher loan fee income and lower premium amortization expense on available-for-sale securities.

For the second quarter of 2013, 76.6 percent, or $7.1 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 72.9 percent, or $6.4 billion, for the first quarter of 2013, and 74.6 percent, or $5.6 billion, for the second quarter of 2012. For the second quarter of 2013, average variable-rate available-for-sale securities were $1.5 billion, or 14.7 percent, of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. This compares to $1.7 billion, or 15.6 percent, for the first quarter of 2013, and $2.2 billion, or 20.1 percent, for the second quarter of 2012. These securities 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 decreased by $462 million to $10.4 billion for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $10.9 billion for both the first quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2012. Period-end available-for-sale securities were $10.0 billion at June 30, 2013, $10.9 billion at March 31, 2013 and $10.6 billion at June 30, 2012. The decrease in period-end balances from the first to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to paydowns of $684 million, the proceeds of which were primarily used to fund loan growth. Additionally, the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased by $173 million due to significant increases in period-end market interest rates. This decrease was reflected as a $103 million decrease (net of tax) in our accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income within SVBFG stockholders' equity.

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 $40 million to $1.3 billion ($477 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2013, compared to $1.2 billion ($476 million net of noncontrolling interests) at March 31, 2013 and $1.1 billion ($460 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2012. The increase of $40 million from the first quarter of 2013 to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to additional capital calls for fund investments and valuation gains from our managed funds. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP non-marketable securities, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Loans

Average loans, net of unearned income, were $9.0 billion for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $8.7 billion for the first quarter of 2013 and $7.2 billion for the second quarter of 2012. Period-end loans, net of unearned income, were $9.6 billion at June 30, 2013, compared to $8.8 billion at March 31, 2013 and $7.8 billion at June 30, 2012. The increase in average loan balances from the first to the second quarter of 2013 came primarily from later stage clients in our software portfolio. The increase in period-end loan balances from the first to the second quarter of 2013 came primarily from our venture capital/private equity portfolio for capital call lines of credit. Given the short-term nature of capital call lines of credit drawdowns, we expect many of these loans to be repaid in the third quarter of 2013, and as a result our period-end loan balances could remain relatively flat from the second to the third quarter of 2013.

Loans (individually or in the aggregate) to any single client, equal to or greater than $20 million totaled $3.6 billion, $3.0 billion and $2.4 billion at June 30, 2013March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, which represents 36.7

percent, 33.4 percent and 30.7 percent of total gross loans, respectively. The increase in our loans equal to or greater than $20 million from March 31, 2013 to June 30, 2013 was driven primarily by an increase of $506 million from our venture capital/private equity portfolio for capital call lines of credit. Further details are provided under the section “Loan Concentrations.”

Our provision for loan losses was $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2013. The provision of $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily driven by $8.8 million for period-end loan growth, as well as to provide for net charge-offs and a modest increase in our reserve for impaired loans.

Gross loan charge-offs of $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 were primarily from our other commercial loan and hardware portfolios. Loan recoveries of $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 were largely driven by a single recovery from our other commercial loan portfolio.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans was 1.23 percent at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.26 percent at March 31, 2013. Our allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans decreased to 1.13 percent at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.18 percent at March 31, 2013, primarily due to the continued strong performance of our performing loan portfolio.

Our impaired loans totaled $41 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $44 million at March 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans was $10.4 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $7.7 million at March 31, 2013.

Client Funds

Our total client funds consist of both on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds. Our total average client funds increased by $540 million to $41.8 billion for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $41.3 billion for the first quarter of 2013. Our total period-end client funds increased by $401 million to $42.7 billion at June 30, 2013, compared to $42.3 billion at March 31, 2013.

Deposits

Average deposits were $18.6 billion for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $18.8 billion for the first quarter of 2013 and $17.4 billion for the second quarter of 2012. Period-end deposits were $18.7 billion at June 30, 2013, compared to $19.3 billion at March 31, 2013 and $18.1 billion at June 30, 2012. The decreases in average and period-end deposits from the first to the second quarter of 2013 were driven by a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand

5



deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by our existing clients’ increased utilization of our off-balance sheet sweep product, partially offset by strong levels of new client additions.

Off-Balance Sheet Client Investment Funds

Average off-balance sheet client investment funds were $23.2 billion for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $22.5 billion for the first quarter of 2013 and $19.9 billion for the second quarter of 2012. Period-end client investment funds were $24.0 billion at June 30, 2013, compared to $23.0 billion at March 31, 2013 and $20.1 billion at June 30, 2012. The increases in average and period-end total client investment funds from the first to the second quarter of 2013 were primarily due to a large number of financing and public offering rounds for our investment clients. The increases were also attributable to our existing clients’ increased utilization of our off-balance sheet sweep product, which averaged $4.9 billion for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $4.3 billion for the first quarter of 2013.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $98.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $78.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $80.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests, was $67.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $56.1 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $57.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP core fee income (foreign exchange fees, deposit service charges, credit card fees, client investment fees and letters of credit fees) was $36.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $36.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $33.2 million for the second quarter of 2012, Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP core fee income and non-GAAP net gains on investment securities discussed in this section are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The increase of $19.6 million in noninterest income from the first to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily driven by higher gains from our non-marketable investments and equity warrant assets. Unrealized gains from non-marketable investments for any single quarter are typically driven by valuation changes, and are therefore subject to potential increases or decreases in future periods. Items impacting the change in noninterest income from the first to the second quarter of 2013 were as follows:

Gains on investment securities were $40.6 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $27.4 million for the first quarter of 2013. Net of noncontrolling interests, net gains on investment securities were $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 compared to $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2013. The gains, net of noncontrolling interests, of $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2013 were primarily driven by the following:

Gains of $3.6 million from our managed funds of funds, primarily related to unrealized valuation increases and carried interest from three of our funds of funds.
Gains of $3.4 million from our strategic and other investments, primarily related to unrealized valuation increases from certain fund investments, as well as gains from our proportionate share of profits from certain equity method investments.
Gains of $1.8 million from our investments in debt funds, driven by unrealized valuation increases from the investments within the funds.

As of June 30, 2013, we held investments, either directly or indirectly through 13 of our managed investment funds, in 458 funds (primarily venture capital funds), 89 companies and 5 debt funds.

The following tables provide a summary of non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively:

An increase of $8.7 million in other noninterest income, primarily attributable to net losses of $0.6 million from the revaluation of foreign currency denominated instruments, compared to net losses of $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2013. The net losses of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2013 were partially offset by net gains of $0.7 million on internal foreign exchange forward contracts economically hedging these foreign currency denominated instruments, which are included within noninterest income on the line item "gain on derivative instruments, net" as noted below. Other noninterest income also increased due to a $0.8 million increase in loan syndication fees.
Net gains on derivative instruments were $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $11.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. The following table provides a summary of our net gains on derivative instruments:

The decrease in net gains on derivative instruments from the first to the second quarter of 2013 was primarily attributable to the following:

Net gains of $0.7 million on internal foreign exchange forward contracts economically hedging certain of our foreign currency denominated instruments for the second quarter of 2013, compared to net gains of $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. These gains were partially offset by net losses of $0.6 million from the revaluation of foreign currency denominated instruments that are included in the line item "Other" within noninterest income as noted above.

Net gains on equity warrant assets of $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. The net gains of $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 included the following:

Net gains of $5.7 million from changes in warrant valuations relating primarily to our private warrant portfolio, compared to net gains of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2013.
Net gains of $1.6 million from the exercise of equity warrant assets, compared to net gains of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2013.

Core fee income was $36.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $36.6 million for the first quarter of 2013. The following table provides a summary of our core fee income:

Core fee income remained relatively flat from the first to the second quarter of 2013, primarily reflective of a decrease in foreign exchange fees resulting from lower spreads, largely offset by continued growth from credit card fees and deposit service charges. Additionally, client investment fees remained relatively flat as continued growth in average off-balance sheet client investment funds was offset by historically low yields on certain products.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $143.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $149.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $135.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. The key factors contributing to the decrease in noninterest expense from the first to the second quarter of 2013 were as follows:

A decrease of $4.0 million in compensation and benefits expense. The following table provides a summary of our compensation and benefits expense:

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 2013 were as follows:


8



A decrease of $3.1 million in 401(k) employer matching contributions, primarily due to employer contributions made during the first quarter of 2013 as a result of annual incentive compensation payouts for 2012 to employees.

A decrease of $1.8 million in Employee Stock Ownership Plan/profit sharing contributions, primarily due to employer contributions made during the first quarter of 2013 as a result of annual incentive compensation payouts for 2012 to employees.

An increase of $1.2 million in incentive compensation expense, which reflects our current expectation that we will exceed our set internal performance targets for 2013.

A provision for unfunded credit commitments of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to a provision of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2013. The provision of $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to an increase in unfunded credit commitment balances of $615 million.

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

An increase of $0.7 million in premises and equipment expense, primarily due to increased spending to enhance and maintain our IT infrastructure.

Non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests was $140.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $146.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $131.8 million for the second quarter of 2012. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 38.2 percent for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 39.2 percent for the first quarter of 2013 and 39.8 percent for the second quarter of 2012. Our effective tax rate was 38.7 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 40.2 percent for the comparable 2012 period. The decreases in the tax rates were primarily attributable to higher low income housing credits and higher income generated from states with lower state tax rates.

Our effective tax rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense by the sum of income before income tax expense and 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” in our statements of income. The following table provides a summary of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests:

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $19.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 and $9.5 million for the second quarter of 2012. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily a result of the following:


9



Net gains on investment securities (including carried interest) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $31.1 million, primarily from gains of $30.0 million from our managed funds of funds.

Noninterest expense of $2.9 million, primarily related to management fees paid by the noncontrolling interests to our subsidiaries that serve as the general partner.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

Total SVBFG stockholders’ equity decreased by $34 million to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2013, primarily driven by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income of $105 million to a loss position of $9.8 million as of June 30, 2013, compared to a gain position of $96 million as of March 31, 2013. This decrease was driven by a decrease in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio of $173 million ($103 million net of tax), which was reflective of significant increases in period-end market interest rates. The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income was partially offset by net income of $49 million in the second quarter of 2013 and an increase in additional-paid-in capital of $23 million resulting primarily from stock option exercises during the second quarter of 2013.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2013;

Our outlook for the year ending December 31, 2013 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 certain items (such as gains (losses) from warrants and investment securities) where the timing or financial impact are particularly uncertain and/or subject to market or other conditions beyond our control (such as the level of IPO, M&A or general financing activity), or for potential unusual or non-recurring items. 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, 2013, compared to our 2012 results, our outlook is the following:
 
Current full year 2013 outlook compared to 2012 results (as of July 25, 2013)
Change in outlook compared to outlook reported as of April 25, 2013
Average loan balances
Increase at a percentage rate in the low twenties
No change from previous outlook
Average deposit balances

(1)
Our outlook for net interest income and net interest margin is partly based on management's current forecast of prepayment rates on our mortgage-backed securities in our available-for-sale securities portfolio and their impact on our forecasted premium amortization expense. Such forecasts are subject to change, and actual results may differ, based on market conditions and actual prepayment rates. See also other factors that may cause our outlook to differ from our actual results under the "Forward Looking Statements" section below.
(2)
Non-GAAP
(3)
Our outlook for noninterest expense is partly based on management's current forecast of performance-based incentive compensation expenses. Such forecasts are subject to change, and actual results may differ, based on our performance relative to our set internal performance targets.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, such as forecasts of our future financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and business, and our underlying assumptions of such forecasts and expectations. In this release, including the section “Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2013” above, we make forward-looking statements discussing management’s expectations about economic conditions; opportunities in the market; the outlook on our client performance; our financial, credit, and business performance; expense levels; and financial results (and the components of such results) for certain quarters in, and the full year 2013.

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable and has based these expectations on our beliefs and assumptions, such expectations are not guarantees and may prove to be incorrect. Actual results could differ significantly. Factors that may cause the outlook for the year 2013 and other forward-looking statements herein to change include, among others, the following: (i) deterioration, weaker than expected, or other changes in the state of the economy or the markets in which we conduct business or are served by us (including the levels of IPOs and M&A activities), (ii) changes in the volume and credit quality of our loans, (iii)  the impact of changes in interest rates or market levels or factors affecting or affected by them, especially on our loan and investment portfolios (iv) changes in our deposit levels, (v) changes in the performance or equity valuations of funds or companies in which we have invested or hold derivative instruments or equity warrant assets, (vi) variations from our expectations as to factors impacting our cost structure, (vii) changes in our assessment of the creditworthiness or liquidity of our clients or unanticipated effects of credit concentration risks which create or exacerbate deterioration of such creditworthiness or liquidity, (viii) accounting changes, as required by GAAP, and (ix) regulatory or legal changes or impacts upon us. For additional information about these factors, please refer to our public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently-filed quarterly or annual report. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date of this release. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.

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

19



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.

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 from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2012.

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

In addition, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP financial ratios and measures 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.

Non-GAAP core fee income — This measure represents noninterest income, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control. We do not provide our outlook for the expected full year results for these excluded items, which include gains on investment securities, net, gains on derivative instruments, net, and other noninterest income items.
