Performance Highlights
• | Net interest income increased by $24.5 million to $227.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 from $203.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Interest income increased by $35.6 million, primarily driven by increases in the average balances of loans and investment securities outstanding. Interest expense increased by $11.1 million due primarily to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2016, net interest income increased by $124.7 million to $870.4 million from $745.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. |
• | The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.67% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to 3.94% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and 3.69% for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2016. The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.73% for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to 3.94% for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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 these declines in the net interest margin. |
• | Total interest earning assets increased by $657 million during the fourth quarter of 2016. New loans and leases, including equipment under operating lease, grew by $432 million during the quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2016, new loans and leases increased by $3.0 billion. |

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $50.9 million and $44.3 million, respectively, including provisions related to new loans of $52.6 million and $42.1 million. The provision related to taxi medallion loans totaled $2.2 million and $7.1 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $11.9 million and $7.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
2
Factors contributing to the increase in the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 were (i) the increase in the provision related to taxi medallion loans, (ii) an increase in the provision related to impaired loans in other portfolio segments and (iii) an increase in the relative impact on the provision of changes in quantitative and qualitative loss factors, partially offset by the impact of lower loan growth for 2016.
Factors impacting the provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015 were lower loan growth and a lower provision related to taxi medallion loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, offset by increases in the provision related to other impaired loans and in the relative impact of changes in loss factors.
Non-covered, non-performing loans totaled $131.1 million or 0.70% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2016 compared to $59.2 million or 0.37% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2015. Non-performing taxi medallion loans comprised $60.7 million or 0.32% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2016 and $2.6 million or 0.02% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2015. Non-covered, non-performing assets also included $8.4 million and $2.3 million of other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
At December 31, 2016, total non-performing assets were $147.4 million, including $13.1 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 0.80% and 115.03%, respectively, at December 31, 2016, compared to 0.76% and 204.45% at December 31, 2015. The ratio of net charge-offs to average non-covered loans was 0.13% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 0.09% for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Charge-offs reflected in the tables above for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 include $6.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, of taxi medallion loans. No taxi medallion loans were charged off in 2015.
Deposits
At December 31, 2016, deposits totaled $19.5 billion compared to $16.9 billion at December 31, 2015. The average cost of total deposits was 0.69% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compared to 0.67% for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2016 and 0.62% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The average cost of total deposits was 0.66% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 0.61% for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Net interest income
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 increased to $227.5 million from $203.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Net interest income was $870.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $745.7 million for the year ended December 31, 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 3.67% for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to 3.94% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and 3.69% for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2016. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.73% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 3.94% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Significant factors impacting this expected trend in net interest margin for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 included:
• | The tax-equivalent yield on loans declined to 5.01% and 5.11%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 from 5.34% and 5.40% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 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 3.54% for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 3.51% and 3.50% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. |
• | The tax-equivalent yield on loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition increased to 44.24% and 39.98%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 from 35.76% and 30.29% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. |
• | The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 2.87% and 2.84%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 from 2.77% and 2.59% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. |
• | The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased to 0.93% for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 from 0.89% and 0.84% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, reflecting the impact of the senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2015 and higher average rates on interest bearing deposits, partially offset by decreases in the average rate on FHLB advances. |
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 years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands):
Balance at December 31, 2014 | $ | 1,005,312 | |
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference | 192,291 | ||
Accretion | (295,038 | ) | |
Balance at December 31, 2015 | 902,565 | ||
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference | 76,751 | ||
Accretion | (303,931 | ) | |
Balance at December 31, 2016 | $ | 675,385 | |

Non-interest income
Non-interest income totaled $29.3 million and $106.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $29.3 million and $102.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. For the quarter ended December 31, 2016 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2015, increases in income from lease financing were largely offset by decreases in income from the sale of covered loans, net of the impact of FDIC indemnification.
For the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 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 $6.0 million increase in securities gains and a $4.9 million increase in gains on the sale of loans by SBF.
Income from lease financing increased by $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 and $9.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from the comparable periods in 2015, generally reflecting growth in the operating lease portfolio.
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 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 year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively, compared to $3.2 million and $16.3 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015 was sales of covered loans. The following table summarizes the impact of the sale of covered loans for the periods indicated (in thousands):
Three Months Ended December 31, | Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||||
2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||||||||
Gain (loss) on sale of covered loans | $ | 425 | $ | 8,219 | $ | (14,470 | ) | $ | 34,929 | ||||||
Net gain (loss) on FDIC indemnification | (343 | ) | (6,575 | ) | 11,615 | (28,051 | ) | ||||||||
Net impact on pre-tax earnings | $ | 82 | $ | 1,644 | $ | (2,855 | ) | $ | 6,878 | ||||||
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 $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decline was attributable to lower income from paid-in-full resolutions.
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense totaled $156.2 million and $590.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 compared to $136.8 million and $506.7 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 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 $43.4 million and $160.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $32.5 million and $109.4 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. The amortization rate increased to 31.05% and 25.14%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016 from 16.66% and 12.68%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2016 reflected growth in the portfolio of equipment under operating lease and impairment of $4.1 million related to a group of tank cars impacted by new safety regulations.

Provision for income taxes
The effective income tax rate was 31.3% and 32.7%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, compared to 34.2% and 15.2%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015. The effective income tax rates for the quarter and year ended December 31, 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 rate for the year ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 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.

About BankUnited, Inc. and the FSB Acquisition
BankUnited, Inc., with total assets of $27.9 billion at December 31, 2016, is the bank holding company of BankUnited, N.A., a national bank headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida with 94 banking centers in 15 Florida counties and 6 banking centers in the New York metropolitan area at December 31, 2016.
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 $3.7 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 December 31, 2016.
