BANKUNITED, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2016 RESULTS
 
Miami Lakes, Fla. — October 20, 2016 — BankUnited, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: BKU) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.
 
For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $50.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $102.3 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Excluding the impact of a discrete income tax benefit and related professional fees, net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $53.8 million, or $0.50 per diluted share.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company reported net income of $162.4 million, or $1.50 per diluted share. The Company reported net income of $195.4 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Earnings per diluted share was $1.37 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, excluding the impact of the discrete income tax benefit and related professional fees.

John Kanas, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “While earnings were somewhat below expectations, BankUnited posted a $1 billion increase in interest earning assets and continued growth in net interest income for the quarter.”
 
Performance Highlights

Net interest income increased by $32.8 million to $221.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 from $189.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Interest income increased by $46.1 million, primarily driven by increases in the average balances of loans and investment securities outstanding. Interest expense increased by $13.3 million due primarily to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities.
The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to 3.88% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and 3.75% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2016. The origination of new loans at current market yields lower than those on loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition (as defined below) and the cost of the senior notes issued in November 2015 contributed to the decline in the net interest margin.
Total interest earning assets increased by $1.0 billion during the third quarter of 2016. New loans and leases, including equipment under operating lease, grew by $909 million during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, new loans and leases increased by $2.6 billion.
Total deposits increased by $604 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 to $18.8 billion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, total deposits increased by $1.9 billion.
The ratio of the allowance for non-covered loan and lease losses to total non-covered loans increased to 0.83% at September 30, 2016 from 0.76% at December 31, 2015. The provision for loan losses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased by $6.6 million and $8.1 million over the comparable periods for the prior year primarily due to increases in qualitative reserves and in reserves related to the taxi medallion portfolio.

Earnings for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 benefited from a discrete income tax benefit of $49.3 million. Non-interest expense for these periods included $1.3 million in professional fees related to this tax benefit.

Book value and tangible book value per common share grew to $22.79 and $22.04, respectively, at September 30, 2016.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
 
For the quarters ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $24.4 million and $17.8 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $42.4 million and $34.4 million, respectively. Substantially all of these provisions related to new loans.

The increase in the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was driven primarily by an increase in the reserve related to the taxi medallion portfolio. Other

factors impacting the change in the provision for these comparative periods, including changes in quantitative and qualitative loss factors, relative growth of the loan portfolio and changes in specific reserves for impaired loans, were largely offsetting.

The most significant factors contributing to the increase in the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were an increase in qualitative reserves and an increase in the reserve related to the taxi medallion portfolio.

Non-covered, non-performing loans totaled $112.4 million or 0.61% of total non-covered loans at September 30, 2016 compared to $59.2 million or 0.37% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2015. Non-performing taxi medallion loans comprised $54.5 million, or 0.30% of total non-covered loans, and $2.6 million, or 0.02% of total non-covered loans at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Non-covered, non-performing assets also included $4.4 million and $2.3 million of other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

At September 30, 2016, total non-performing assets were $126.9 million, including $10.8 million of OREO and other repossessed assets, compared to $82.7 million, including $11.2 million of OREO and other repossessed assets, at December 31, 2015.

The ratios of the allowance for non-covered loan and lease losses to total non-covered loans and to non-performing, non-covered loans were 0.83% and 134.97% at September 30, 2016, compared to 0.76% and 204.45% at December 31, 2015. The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average non-covered loans was 0.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as well as for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Deposits
 
At September 30, 2016, deposits totaled $18.8 billion compared to $16.9 billion at December 31, 2015. The average cost of total deposits was 0.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to 0.66% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2016 and 0.61% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The average cost of total deposits was 0.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 0.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net interest income
 
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 increased to $221.7 million from $189.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Net interest income was $642.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared

to $542.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Increases in interest income were partially offset by increases in interest expense. The increases in interest income were primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of loans, partially offset by a decline in the related average yield. Increases in the average balance of investment securities and related average yields also contributed to increased interest income. Interest expense increased due primarily to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities and was also impacted by the cost of the senior debt issued in November 2015.
 
The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.69% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to 3.88% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 and 3.75% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2016. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Significant factors impacting this expected trend in net interest margin for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 included:
 
The tax-equivalent yield on loans declined to 5.03% and 5.14% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 5.27% and 5.42% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily because new loans, originated at yields lower than those on loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition, comprised a greater percentage of total loans.
The tax-equivalent yield on new loans was 3.53% and 3.54% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.48% and 3.49% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
The tax-equivalent yield on loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition increased to 40.69% and 38.75% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 30.75% and 28.69% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 2.87% and 2.82% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 2.65% and 2.54% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.92% and 0.93%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 0.83% and 0.82% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflecting the impact of the senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2015, as well as higher average rates on interest bearing deposits.
The Company’s net interest margin continues to be impacted by reclassifications from non-accretable difference to accretable yield on ACI loans. Non-accretable difference at acquisition represented the difference between the total contractual payments due and the cash flows expected to be received on these loans. The accretable yield on ACI loans represented the amount by which undiscounted expected future cash flows exceeded the recorded investment in the loans. As the Company’s expected cash flows from ACI loans have increased since the FSB Acquisition, the Company has reclassified amounts from non-accretable difference to accretable yield.
Changes in accretable yield on ACI loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 were as follows (in thousands):

Non-interest income
 
Non-interest income totaled $25.1 million and $77.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $31.2 million and $73.0 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The most significant factors contributing to the $6.1 million decline in non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were the loss on sale of covered loans, net of the impact of FDIC indemnification and lower income from lease financing. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine

months ended September 30, 2015, non-interest income increased by $4.2 million. Offsetting factors contributing to this increase included the loss on sale of covered loans, net of the impact of FDIC indemnification, a reduction in income from resolution of covered assets, net of the impact of FDIC indemnification, an increase in lease financing income, a $4.6 million increase in securities gains and a $5.0 million increase in gains on the sale of loans by the Small Business Finance division acquired in May 2015.

Income from lease financing decreased by $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and increased by $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from the comparable periods in 2015. The quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 included $3.9 million in gains on sale of leased equipment; such gains were not significant for the quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2016. Increased rental revenue corresponding to growth in the operating lease portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 more than offset the decrease in gains on sale of equipment.
 
The provision for (recovery of) loan losses for covered loans, net income from resolution of covered assets, gains or losses from the sale of covered loans and gains or losses related to covered OREO all relate to transactions in the covered assets. The line item Net gain (loss) on FDIC indemnification represents the mitigating impact of FDIC indemnification on gains and losses arising from these transactions in the covered assets. The impact on pre-tax earnings of these transactions, net of FDIC indemnification, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $(0.2) million and $2.4 million, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $13.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
  
The most significant item contributing to the variance in the impact on pre-tax earnings of these transactions in covered assets for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was sales of covered loans. The following table summarizes the impact of the sale of covered loans for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The variance in results of covered loan sales related primarily to the characteristics of the loans sold and the dynamics of secondary market demand for these assets.

Income from resolution of covered assets, net of the impact of related FDIC indemnification, was $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decline was attributable to lower income from paid-in-full resolutions.

Non-interest expense
 
Non-interest expense totaled $148.0 million and $434.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $132.3 million and $369.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The most significant component of the increases in non-interest expense was increased amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset.
  
Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset was $39.0 million and $116.7 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $28.4 million and $76.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The amortization rate increased to 25.36% and 23.48%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 from 13.49% and 11.52%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. As the expected cash flows from ACI loans have increased, expected cash flows from the FDIC indemnification asset have decreased, resulting in continued increases in the amortization rate.

Increases in depreciation of equipment under operating lease for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 corresponded to growth in the portfolio of equipment under operating lease. Non-interest expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was also impacted by a litigation accrual of $2.1 million and a $1.1 million settlement related to a payroll tax audit.

Provision for income taxes
 
The effective income tax rate was 31.7% and 33.2%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to (46.1)% and 7.6%, respectively, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The effective income tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% due primarily to the effect of income not subject to tax and state income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflected a discrete income tax benefit of $49.3 million. The tax benefit, predicated on guidance issued by the IRS in 2015, related to the Company's ability to claim additional tax basis in certain assets acquired in the FSB Acquisition. In addition, $5.9 million of reserves for uncertain tax liabilities were released in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, due to the lapse of the statute of limitations related thereto.
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the capital position and performance of the Company. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure also provides a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions.

About BankUnited, Inc. and the FSB Acquisition 
BankUnited, Inc., with total assets of $27.3 billion at September 30, 2016, is the bank holding company of BankUnited, N.A., a national bank headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida with 95 branches in 15 Florida counties and 6 banking centers in the New York metropolitan area at September 30, 2016.
The Company was organized by a management team led by its Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, John A. Kanas, in 2009. On May 21, 2009, BankUnited acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all of the non-brokered deposits and substantially all other liabilities of BankUnited, FSB from the FDIC, in a transaction referred to as the FSB Acquisition. Concurrently with the FSB Acquisition, BankUnited entered into two loss sharing agreements, or the Loss Sharing Agreements, which covered certain legacy assets, including the entire legacy loan portfolio and OREO, and certain purchased investment securities. Assets covered by the Loss Sharing Agreements are referred to as “covered assets” (or, in certain cases, “covered loans”). The Loss Sharing Agreements do not apply to subsequently purchased or originated loans (“new loans”) or other assets. Effective May 22, 2014 and consistent with the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, loss share coverage was terminated for those commercial loans and OREO and certain investment securities that were previously covered under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Pursuant to the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, the covered assets are subject to a stated loss threshold whereby the FDIC will reimburse BankUnited for 80% of losses, including certain interest and expenses, up to the $4.0 billion stated threshold and 95% of losses in excess of the $4.0 billion stated threshold. The Company’s current estimate of cumulative losses on the covered assets is approximately $3.8 billion. The Company has received $2.7 billion from the FDIC in reimbursements under the Loss Sharing Agreements for claims filed for incurred losses as of September 30, 2016.
