Customers Reports Record Net Income Customers’ Q4 2013 net interest income growth reflects execution of our loan growth strategy offset in part by lower mortgage warehouse balances, and a small contraction in net interest margin Q4 2013 non-interest income includes $1.1 million in mortgage banking income and a $1.3 million gain on securities sales Non-interest expense includes investments in new commercial loan and mortgage banking business startups, totaling about $3.0 million in the quarter and $7.0 million for the year. In addition, Customers incurred $1.6 million in incremental Q4 costs The Q4 2013 provision for loan losses includes a $2.2 million provision for new loans and $1.1 million reduction of the FDIC indemnification asset offset by collections on loans with reserves and sustained improved performance of the portfolio Customers has maintained an effective tax rate of approximately 35% Diluted EPS reflects the issuance of approximately 6.2 million shares in Q2 2013 and the Q4 2013 repurchase of 485,000 shares
 
 
 

 
Customers Assets Grow 30% in 2013 Investments consist largely of FNMA and FHLMC MBS securities, providing earnings and on-balance sheet liquidity. Investments include Customers $23 million investment in Religare Enterprises Loans grew nearly $500 million in 2013 with multi-family up $698.3 million, CRE up $261.9 million and commercial up $164.6 million, offset by a decline in mortgage warehouse of $704.0 million The ALLL decreased in 2013 due to the improved asset quality of Customers’ loan portfolio as both the nonperforming loans and 30-89 day delinquencies declined. The ALLL now exceeds the dollar amount of non-performing loans Deposits increased over $500 million in 2013, over $200 million in non-interest bearing demand deposits Customers increased borrowings during the year by about $300 million, including $63.3 million in a public debt offering Equity increased $117 million during 2013, a result of a Q2 2013 common stock issuance and 2013 earnings, offset in part by the repurchase of nearly 485,000 shares as part of a share repurchase program Customers ROA and ROE ratios are approaching the levels established as goals in 2009 as the then new management team assumed control
 
 
 

 
Strong Capital Provides Future Growth Capacity The minimum excess capital amount would support approximately $1.5 billion of asset growth of 100% risk weighted assets (such as commercial loans and CRE), or $1.75 billion of 50% risk weighted assets, giving Customers room to grow with existing capital Customers book value continues to increase as management focuses on enhancing shareholder value Recent stock price increases provide a market price to book value ratio of approximately 1.3 times book, still significantly below current market multiples for peer banks Note: Capital ratios and excess capital are estimates pending completion of the regulatory financial reports
