CEO COMMENTARY
Harris H. Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Zions Bancorporation, commented, “Despite the headwinds of a challenging interest rate and credit environment, we are pleased with many aspects of the Bank’s third quarter performance. We’re particularly pleased by the resilience demonstrated by our customers in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Approximately 9% of our borrowers availed themselves of loan modifications or short-term deferrals earlier this year, with 88% of deferred loans having completed the deferral period before August 1. At quarter-end, a mere 1.0% of those loans were delinquent 30 days or more, with an additional 0.2% having been charged off. Additionally, annualized net charge-offs for the entire loan portfolio were a very manageable 0.38%.”

Mr. Simmons continued, “The pandemic-induced recession has resulted in weak loan demand at Zions and across the industry, with the exception of residential mortgages, where we’ve experienced record production and income. At the same time, economic stimulus programs have produced substantial deposit growth, resulting in higher cash holdings and margin compression. We’ve worked at offsetting margin pressure through disciplined expense control, with the result that adjusted pre-provision net revenue has remained healthy.”

Net interest income decreased $12 million, or 2%, to $555 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $567 million in the third quarter of 2019. Total interest income decreased $96 million, or 14%, due to a $76 million decrease in interest and fees on loans and a $14 million decrease in interest on securities; the decrease is primarily attributable to the lower interest rate environment, as the average balance of earning assets increased 12%. Interest expense decreased $84 million, or 76%, due to a $51 million decline in interest paid on deposits and a $33 million decline in interest paid on short and long-term borrowings attributable to lower rates paid on both categories as well as reduced borrowed funds. The decline in interest expense is also primarily attributable to the lower interest rate environment and partially attributable to reduced competitive pricing pressure for deposits. Additionally, strong deposit growth of $11 billion, or 20%, was assisted by various recent government stimulus programs, which reduced the need for borrowed funds.
The net interest margin declined to 3.06% in the third quarter of 2020, compared with 3.23% in the second quarter of 2020, and 3.48% in the same prior year period. The yield on average interest earning assets was 3.20%, a decrease of 21 basis points, compared with the second quarter of 2020, and a decrease of 95 basis points, compared with the third quarter of 2019. Average money market investments have increased to 4.3% of earning assets in the third quarter of 2020 from 2.2% a year ago, which has had a dilutive effect on the net interest margin.
The yield on average interest earning assets includes the dilutive effect of $6.8 billion of Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans with a yield of 3.03%, as compared with a yield on the non-PPP loan portfolio of 3.77%. Toward the end of the third quarter of 2020, the maturity dates of all the PPP

loans were extended to five years, and beginning in October, the SBA initiated the PPP loan forgiveness process. These developments, and other potential future changes, will affect the interest income recognized and the effective yield of the PPP loans in future periods.
The yield on loans decreased 15 basis points relative to the second quarter of 2020, and 107 basis points from the year ago period, primarily due to the aforementioned decline in benchmark interest rates and continued competitive pricing pressure, which impacted loans across the Bank’s major loan categories. The yield on securities decreased 16 basis points relative to the second quarter of 2020, and 33 basis points from the year ago period, primarily from lower yields on mortgage-backed securities, which were also attributable to lower benchmark interest rates.
The annualized cost of total deposits for the third quarter of 2020 was 0.11%, compared with 0.15% for the second quarter of 2020, and 0.50% for the third quarter of 2019. The rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.15% for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease from 0.19% for the second quarter of 2020, and from 0.71% for the third quarter of 2019. The decline in the rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was due to the reduction in rates paid, largely made possible because of lower benchmark interest rates, combined with strong deposit growth and a change in the mix of deposits, with average noninterest bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits rising to 46% from 42% a year ago. The deposit growth also allowed the Bank to significantly reduce more-costly borrowed funds when compared with the third quarter of 2019.

Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 increased by $11 million, or 8%, to $157 million from $146 million for the third quarter of 2019. Total customer-related fees decreased slightly to $139 million from $140 million. Loan-related fees and income increased $11 million due to residential mortgage loan originations and sales, which benefited from the reduction in benchmark interest rates. Capital markets and foreign exchange fees decreased by $7 million due largely to reduced income from arranging interest rate hedges for our loan customers.
In the third quarter of 2020, the Bank recognized an $8 million positive credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) on client-related interest rate swaps, compared with a $12 million negative CVA in the second quarter of 2020, and a $6

million negative CVA in the prior year period. Dividends and other income decreased to $6 million in the third quarter of 2020 from $10 million in the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower dividends received from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), reflecting less FHLB activity stock held by the Bank.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 was $442 million, an increase of $27 million, or 7%, when compared with $415 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase was attributable to a one-time $30 million donation to the Bank’s charitable foundation, which was related to the origination fees earned on PPP loans, and was reflected in Other noninterest expense. This increase in Other noninterest expense was partially offset by a $5 million decline in travel and entertainment expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expense declined $4 million, and includes $3 million of PPP-related bonuses. During the third quarter of 2020, advertising expense included $3 million associated with our efforts to retain new PPP lending clients.
Adjusted noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 increased $25 million, or 6%, to $440 million, and includes the previously discussed $30 million charitable contribution, compared with $415 million for the same prior year period. The efficiency ratio was 62.2% in the third quarter of 2020, compared with 57.3% for both the second quarter of 2020 and the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the $30 million charitable contribution, the efficiency ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 would have been 58.0%. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, including differences between noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense, see pages 18-21.

Net loan and lease charge-offs increased to $52 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared with $1 million in the third quarter of 2019. The ratio of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more to loans and leases (ex-PPP) was 0.78% for the third quarter of 2020, compared with 0.49% for the third quarter of 2019. The ratio of classified loans to total loans and leases (ex-PPP) was 3.4%, compared with 1.6% for the same periods, respectively.
During 2020, the Bank provided payment deferrals or other payment modifications related to COVID-19 hardships, representing about $4.3 billion of total loan balances. Of this amount, $3.6 billion, or 84%, had payments deferred, and the remaining $0.7 billion, or 16%, had their regularly scheduled payments otherwise modified. At September 30, 2020, less than $300 million, or 0.6%, of total loan balances (ex-PPP) were actively in deferral, including re-deferrals. Of the $4.0 billion of total loan balances at September 30, 2020 that, at one point, had their payments deferred or otherwise modified, approximately $40 million, or 1.0%, were 30 days or more past due.
The Bank recorded a $55 million provision for credit losses during the third quarter of 2020, compared with $168 million during the second quarter of 2020, and $10 million for the third quarter of 2019. The allowance for credit losses was $917 million at September 30, 2020, compared with $572 million at September 30, 2019, and was 1.68% of total loans and leases, which included $6.8 billion of PPP loans. The ratio of total allowance for credit losses to total loans and leases (ex-PPP) was 1.91%, compared with 1.88% at June 30, 2020, and 1.17% at September 30, 2019. The increase in the allowance for credit losses, compared with the same prior year period, is almost entirely due to experienced and expected economic stress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Loans and leases, net of unearned income and fees, increased $5.9 billion, or 12%, to $54.7 billion at September 30, 2020, from $48.8 billion at September 30, 2019, primarily due to the origination of PPP loans. Excluding PPP loans, commercial and industrial loans decreased by $1.3 billion, as the stressed economic environment adversely impacted demand for these loans. This decrease was partially offset by increases of $521 million in municipal loans and $212 million in owner-occupied commercial loans. Term commercial real estate loans increased $260 million. Consumer loans decreased $528 million, which was spread across all consumer loan subcategories. Unfunded lending commitments and letters of credit increased $1.2 billion, or 5.1%, to $24.8 billion at September 30, 2020, from $23.6 billion at September 30, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in commitment utilization.

October 19, 2020
At September 30, 2020, oil and gas-related loans represented 5% of the total loan portfolio, compared with 8% at December 31, 2014, or the beginning of the last energy cycle. Due to active risk management of the portfolio, the mix of oil and gas-related loans at September 30, 2020 consists of 39% upstream, 35% midstream, 17% oil and gas-related services, and 9% downstream, compared with 36%, 19%, 42%, and 3%, respectively, at December 31, 2014. We use disciplined underwriting practices to mitigate the risk associated with upstream lending activities. Upstream loans are made to reserve-based borrowers, where approximately 82% of those loans are collateralized by the value of the borrower’s oil and gas reserves. For the third quarter of 2020, the oil and gas-related classified loan ratio was 10.6%, the annualized net charge-off ratio was 3.4%, and the allowance for credit losses related to oil and gas-related loans was 5.4%.

Total deposits increased by $11.0 billion, or 20%, to $67.1 billion as of September 30, 2020, primarily due to a $7.6 billion increase in noninterest-bearing deposits, which was assisted by various recent government stimulus programs.
Average total deposits increased to $66.5 billion for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $55.3 billion for the third quarter of 2019. Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased 32% to $30.8 billion for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $23.4 billion for the third quarter of 2019, and were 46% and 42% of average total deposits, respectively, for the same periods.
Total borrowed funds decreased $3.2 billion, or 55%, to $2.6 billion as of September 30, 2020. Average borrowed funds decreased to $2.4 billion for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $6.3 billion for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease in both end-of-period and average borrowed funds reflects less reliance on federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings due to the strength of deposit growth, which significantly exceeded earning asset growth over this period.

Shareholder’s Equity
During the third quarter of 2020, the Bank’s common stock dividend was $0.34 per share, the same as the third quarter of 2019. Accumulated other comprehensive income improved $283 million, from $49 million as of September 30, 2019, to $332 million as of September 30, 2020. The improvement was primarily a result of increases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities due to changes in interest rates. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased 18.1 million from the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to the expiration of 29.2 million ZIONW warrants on May 22, 2020 and common share repurchases that mostly occurred during the fourth quarter of 2019.
Tangible book value per common share increased to $37.11 at September 30, 2020, compared with $34.80 at September 30, 2019. Basel III common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital was $5.8 billion at September 30, 2020 and $5.9 billion at September 30, 2019. The estimated Basel III CET1 capital ratio was 10.4% at both September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 18-21.
On January 1, 2020, the Bank adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and its subsequent updates, often referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard. The OCC, Federal Reserve and FDIC issued a joint statement on March 27, 2020, revised on April 7, 2020, with proposed guidance for banking institutions that have adopted CECL in 2020. The Bank adopted the provisions of this interim final rule, which allows banks to add back, for regulatory capital purposes only, a transition adjustment related to CECL beginning with the first quarter 2020 financial statements. The adoption of these provisions improved our CET1 capital ratio at September 30, 2020 by 14 basis points.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)
This press release presents non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to provide investors with additional information. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. The Bank considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance and financial position of the Bank and for presentations of Bank performance to investors. The Bank further believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as that applied by management.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, and are not required to be uniformly applied by individual entities. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
The following are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and a discussion of the reasons for which management uses these non-GAAP measures:
Tangible Book Value per Common Share – this schedule also includes “tangible common equity.” Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides additional useful information about the level of tangible equity in relation to outstanding shares of common stock. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information to management and others about capital adequacy because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (“ROTCE”) – this schedule also includes “net earnings applicable to common shareholders, excluding the effects of the adjustments, net of tax” and “average tangible common equity.” ROTCE is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides useful information to management and others about the Bank’s use of shareholders’ equity. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information about performance because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

Efficiency Ratio – this schedule also includes “adjusted noninterest expense,” “taxable-equivalent net interest income,” “adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)” and “adjusted PPNR.” The methodology of determining the efficiency ratio may differ among companies. Management makes adjustments to exclude certain items as identified in the subsequent schedule which it believes allows for more consistent comparability among periods. Management believes the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how well the Bank is managing its expenses, and adjusted PPNR enables management and others to assess the Bank’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
