NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2023

Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BankUnited, Inc. is a national bank holding company with one wholly-owned subsidiary, BankUnited, collectively, the Company. BankUnited, a national banking association headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, provides a full range of banking and related services to individual and corporate customers through banking centers in Florida, the New York metropolitan area and Dallas, Texas at March 31, 2023. The Bank also offers certain commercial lending and deposit products through national platforms and regional wholesale banking offices.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, these do not include all of the information and footnotes required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in BKU’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.

The Company has a single operating segment and thus a single reportable segment. While management monitors the revenue streams of its various business units, the business units serve a similar base of primarily commercial clients, providing a similar range of products and services, managed through similar processes and platforms. The Company’s chief operating decision maker makes company-wide resource allocation decisions and assessments of performance based on a collective assessment of the Company’s operations.

Accounting Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

The most significant estimate impacting the Company's consolidated financial statements is the ACL.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The ASU enhanced disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, updated certain requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and required disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs of financing receivables by year of origination. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2023, prospectively, except with respect to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, for which the modified retrospective transition method was applied. The Company recorded a reduction to the ACL of $1.8 million and a cumulative-effect adjustment, net of tax, to retained earnings of $1.3 million on January 1, 2023.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

ASU No. 2023-02—Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures using the Proportional Amortization Method (A Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). This ASU was issued to expand use of the proportional amortization method of accounting to equity investments in tax credit programs beyond those in LIHTC programs. The ASU allows entities to elect the proportional amortization method, on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis, for all equity investments in tax credit programs meeting the eligibility criteria established. This ASU is effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Currently, all of the Company's equity investments in tax credit programs are in LIHTC programs accounted for using the proportional amortization method.

The Company monitors its investment securities available for sale for credit loss impairment on an individual security basis. No securities were determined to be credit loss impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. At March 31, 2023, the Company did not have an intent to sell securities that were in unrealized loss positions and it was not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. In making this determination, the Company considered its current and projected liquidity position, its investment policy as to permissible holdings and concentration limits, regulatory requirements and other relevant factors. While recent events impacting the banking sector have impacted the liquidity profile of many banks, including BankUnited, the substantial majority of our investment securities are pledgeable at either the FHLB or FRB. We have not sold, and do not anticipate the need to sell, securities in unrealized loss positions to generate liquidity.

At March 31, 2023, 569 securities available for sale were in unrealized loss positions. The amount of impairment related to 102 of these securities was considered insignificant both individually and in the aggregate, totaling approximately $0.9 million and no further analysis with respect to these securities was considered necessary.

The basis for concluding that AFS securities were not credit loss impaired and no ACL was considered necessary at March 31, 2023 is further discussed below.

Unrealized losses were generally attributable to rising interest rates and widening spreads related to the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening and benchmark interest rate increases. Continuing uncertainty with respect to the trajectory of the economy has also led to market uncertainty, producing some yield curve dislocations. The investment securities AFS portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $573.7 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $674.2 million at December 31, 2022, improving by $100 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

U.S. Government, U.S. Government Agency and Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities

At March 31, 2023, five U.S. treasury, 150 U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise residential MBS, 26 U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise commercial MBS, and 18 SBA securities were in unrealized loss positions. The timely payment of principal and interest on these securities is explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government. As such, there is an assumption of zero credit loss and the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of these securities.

Private Label Securities:

None of the impaired private label securities had missed principal or interest payments or had been downgraded by a NRSRO at March 31, 2023. The Company performed an analysis comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected to the amortized cost basis of impaired securities. This analysis was based on a scenario that we believe to be generally more conservative than our reasonable and supportable economic forecast at March 31, 2023, and incorporated assumptions about voluntary prepayment rates, collateral defaults, delinquencies, severity and other relevant factors as described further below. Our analysis also considered the structural characteristics of each security and the level of credit enhancement provided by that structure.

Private label residential MBS and CMOs

At March 31, 2023, 114 private label residential MBS and CMOs were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, voluntary prepayment rates, loss severity, delinquencies and recovery lag. In developing those assumptions, we took into account collateral quality measures such as FICO, LTV, documentation, loan type, property type, agency availability criteria and performing status. We also regularly monitor sector data including home price appreciation, forbearance, delinquency and prepay trends as well as other economic data that could be indicative of stress in the sector. Our March 31, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 2% compared to weighted average credit support of 18%. As of March 31, 2023, 95% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 1% were rated AA and 4% were rated A.

Private label commercial MBS

At March 31, 2023, 104 private label commercial MBS were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, voluntary prepayment rates, loss severity, delinquencies and recovery lag. In developing those assumptions, we took into account collateral quality and type, loan size, loan purpose and other qualitative factors. We also regularly monitor collateral watch lists, bankruptcy data, defeasance data, special servicing trends, delinquency and other economic data that could be indicative of stress in the sector. Our March 31, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 7% compared to weighted average credit support of 43%. As of March 31, 2023, 85% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 11% were rated AA and 4% were rated A.

Single family real estate-backed securities

At March 31, 2023, 15 single family rental real estate-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, loss severity, delinquencies and recovery lag. We regularly monitor sector data including home price appreciation, forbearance, delinquency and prepay trends as well as other economic data that could be indicative of stress in the sector. Our March 31, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for this category of 7% compared to weighted average credit support of 51%. As of March 31, 2023, 62% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 15% were rated AA and one security was not externally rated.

Collateralized loan obligations

At March 31, 2023, 26 collateralized loan obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, loss severity, and delinquencies, calibrated to take into account idiosyncratic risks associated with the underlying collateral. In developing those assumptions, we took into account each sector’s performance pre-, during and post the 2008 financial crisis. We regularly engage with bond managers to monitor trends in underlying collateral including potential downgrades and subsequent cash flow diversions, liquidity, ratings migration, and any other relevant developments. Our March 31, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 10% compared to weighted average credit support of 44%. As of March 31, 2023, 80% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 16% were rated AA and 4% were rated A.

Non-mortgage asset-backed securities

At March 31, 2023, seven non-mortgage asset-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. These securities are backed by student loan collateral. Our analysis of cash flows expected to be collected on these securities incorporated assumptions about collateral default rates, loss severity, delinquencies, voluntary prepayment rates and recovery lag. In developing assumptions, we took into account collateral type, delineated by whether collateral consisted of loans to borrowers in school, refinancing, or a mixture. Our March 31, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 4% compared to weighted average credit support of 24%. As of March 31, 2023, 47% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, and 53% were rated AA.

State and Municipal Obligations

At March 31, 2023, two state and municipal obligations were in unrealized loss positions. Our analysis of potential credit loss impairment for these securities incorporates a quantitative measure of the underlying obligor's credit worthiness provided by a third-party vendor as well as other relevant qualitative considerations. As of March 31, 2023, all of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA.

Credit quality information

Credit quality of loans held for investment is continuously monitored by dedicated residential credit risk management and commercial portfolio management functions. The Company also has a workout and recovery department that monitors the credit quality of criticized and classified loans and an independent internal credit review function.

Credit quality indicators for residential loans

Management considers delinquency status to be the most meaningful indicator of the credit quality of residential loans, other than government insured residential loans. Delinquency statistics are updated at least monthly. LTV and FICO scores are also important indicators of credit quality for 1-4 single family residential loans other than government insured loans. FICO scores are generally updated semi-annually, and were most recently updated in the first quarter of 2023. LTVs are typically at origination since we do not routinely update residential appraisals. Substantially all of the government insured residential loans are government insured buyout loans, which the Company buys out of GNMA securitizations upon default. For these loans, traditional measures of credit quality are not particularly relevant considering the guaranteed nature of the loans and the underlying business model. Factors that impact risk inherent in the residential portfolio segment include national and regional economic conditions such as levels of unemployment, wages and interest rates, as well as residential property values.

Credit quality indicators for commercial loans

Factors that impact risk inherent in commercial portfolio segments include but are not limited to levels of economic activity, health of the national and regional economy, interest rates, industry trends, patterns of and trends in customer behavior that influence demand for our borrowers' products and services, and commercial real estate values. Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for commercial loans. Internal risk ratings are generally indicative of the likelihood that a borrower will default, are a key factor influencing the level and nature of ongoing monitoring of loans and may impact the estimation of the ACL. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis. Generally, relationships with balances in excess of defined thresholds, ranging from $1 million to $3 million, are re-evaluated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted. The special mention rating is considered a transitional rating for loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that could result in deterioration of repayment prospects at some future date if not checked or corrected and that deserve management’s close attention. These borrowers may exhibit declining cash flows or revenues or increasing leverage. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses that may result in a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected are assigned a risk rating of substandard. These borrowers may exhibit payment defaults, inadequate cash flows from current operations, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, exhausted interest reserves, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts or past due real estate taxes. Loans with weaknesses so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable, but because of certain reasonably specific pending factors have not been charged off, are assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.4% and 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of state income taxes, partially offset by the benefit of income not subject to federal tax.

Note 6 Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps, caps and collars designated as cash flow hedges with the objective of limiting the variability of interest payment cash flows. The Company has also entered into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges designed to hedge changes in the fair value of outstanding fixed rate instruments caused by fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges are recognized in earnings, as is the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item.

The following table summarizes the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of the dates indicated (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023						December 31, 2022

	Notional Amount		Fair Value(1)				Notional Amount		Fair Value(1)

(1) The fair values of derivatives are included in other assets or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) The interest rate collar consists of a combination of zero-premium interest rate options. The Company sold a pay-variable cap with a strike price of 5.58%; sold a 0% floor; and purchased a receive-variable floor with a strike price of 1.50%.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges

The following table provides information about the amount of gain (loss) related to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges reclassified from AOCI into interest expense for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2023		2022
Location of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into income:

Interest expense on deposits		5,049		(722)
Interest income on loans		(392)		—
		$	12,154	$	(5,432)

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no derivative positions designated as cash flow hedges were discontinued and none of the gains and losses reported in AOCI were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges or because of the early extinguishment of debt. As of March 31, 2023, the amount of net gain expected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the next twelve months was $37.1 million. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about the reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings.

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges

The amount of gain (loss) related to derivatives designated as fair value hedges recognized in earnings was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The following table provides information about the hedged items related to derivatives designated as fair value hedges at the date indicated (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		Location in Consolidated Balance Sheets
Contractual balance outstanding of hedged item (1)	$	100,000	Loans
Cumulative fair value hedging adjustments	$	(3,114)	Loans

(1)This amount is included in the amortized cost basis of a closed portfolio of loans used to designate hedging relationships in a portfolio layer method hedge in which the hedged item is anticipated to be outstanding for the designated hedge period. At March 31, 2023, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolio used in this hedging relationship was $1.0 billion.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts with certain of its commercial borrowers to enable those borrowers to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate interest rate risk associated with these derivative contracts, the Company enters into offsetting derivative contract positions with primary dealers. These interest rate derivative contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the impact on earnings related to changes in fair value of these derivatives was not material.

The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit rating and financial information. The Company manages dealer credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, the use of ISDA master agreements, central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral arrangements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps. The Company manages the risk of default by its commercial borrower counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company does not currently anticipate any significant losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations

(1) Fair value asset and liability derivatives are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively in the consolidation balance sheets.

Some of the Company’s ISDA master agreements with financial institution counterparties contain provisions that permit either counterparty to terminate the agreements and require settlement in the event that regulatory capital ratios fall below certain designated thresholds, upon the initiation of other defined regulatory actions or upon suspension or withdrawal of the Bank’s credit rating. Currently, there are no circumstances that would trigger these provisions of the agreements.

Note 8 Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.

Table of Contents

BANKUNITED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2023

Investment securities available for sale and marketable equity securities—Fair value measurements are based on quoted prices in active markets when available; these measurements are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. These securities typically include U.S. Treasury securities and certain preferred stocks. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, quoted prices of identical securities in less active markets, discounted cash flow techniques, or matrix pricing models. These securities are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and include U.S. Government agency securities, U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise MBS, preferred stock investments for which level 1 valuations are not available, non-mortgage asset-backed securities, single family real estate-backed securities, private label residential MBS and CMOs, private label commercial MBS, collateralized loan obligations and state and municipal obligations. Pricing of these securities is generally primarily spread driven. Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these securities include benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, reported trades, dealer quotes, bids, issuer spreads, current rating, historical constant prepayment rates, historical voluntary prepayment rates, structural and waterfall features of individual securities, published collateral data, and for certain securities, historical constant default rates and default severities.

The Company uses third-party pricing services in determining fair value measurements for investment securities. To obtain an understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used, management reviews written documentation provided by the pricing services, conducts interviews with valuation desk personnel and reviews model results and detailed assumptions used to value selected securities as considered necessary. Management has established a robust price challenge process that includes a review by the treasury front office of all prices provided on a monthly basis. Any price evidencing unexpected month over month fluctuations or deviations from expectations is challenged. If considered necessary to resolve any discrepancies, a price will be obtained from an additional independent valuation source. The Company does not typically adjust the prices provided, other than through this established challenge process. The results of price challenges are subject to review by executive management. Any price discrepancies are resolved based on careful consideration of the assumptions and inputs employed by each of the pricing sources.

Derivative financial instruments—Fair values of interest rate swaps, caps and collars are determined using widely accepted discounted cash flow modeling techniques. These discounted cash flow models use projections of future cash payments and receipts that are discounted at mid-market rates. Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these instruments include benchmark swap rates and benchmark forward yield curves. These fair value measurements are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Collateral dependent loans and OREO—The carrying amount of collateral dependent loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may be real estate, enterprise value or other business assets, less estimated costs to sell when repayment is expected to come from the sale of the collateral. The carrying value of OREO is initially measured based on the fair value of the real estate acquired in foreclosure and subsequently adjusted to the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Fair values of real estate collateral and OREO are typically based on third-party real estate appraisals which utilize market and income approaches to valuation incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs.

Fair value measurements related to collateral dependent loans and OREO are generally classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues off-balance sheet financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to fund loans, unfunded commitments under existing lines of credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit. These commitments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and market risk which are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers, and are subject to the same credit policies used in underwriting loans. Collateral may be obtained based on the Company’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments.

Commitments to fund loans

These are agreements to lend funds to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to fund loans generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

BANKUNITED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2023

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include commercial, commercial real estate and an insignificant amount of consumer lines of credit to existing customers, for many of which additional extensions of credit are subject to borrowing base requirements. Some of these commitments may mature without being fully funded, so may not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

Commercial and standby letters of credit

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support trade transactions or guarantee arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Total lending related commitments outstanding at March 31, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):


Commitments to fund loans	$	478,149

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit	5,928,956
Commercial and standby letters of credit	161,092

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon advice of legal counsel, the likelihood is remote that the impact of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to focus on significant matters impacting and changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes hereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and BKU's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K").

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” "future" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the historical performance of the Company or on the Company’s current plans, estimates and expectations. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the future plans, estimates or expectations so contemplated will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company’s operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity, including as impacted by external circumstances outside the Company's direct control, such as adverse events impacting the financial services industry. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary materially from those indicated in these statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

During March and April of 2023, three highly publicized regional bank closures led to industry-wide concerns and volatility related to bank valuations, liquidity, deposit outflows, unrealized securities losses and eroding customer confidence in the banking system. Despite these recent developments, our business is stable, our liquidity position is strong and our capital base remains robust. The Company took the following actions in response to these industry-wide developments:

•Activated our contingency funding plan, enhancing daily monitoring and reporting of liquidity trends and deposit flows, and optimized same day available liquidity by increasing cash levels and pledging additional assets to the FHLB and FRB;

•Equipped our relationship managers and branch personnel with information they could use in their outreach to customers;

•Supported our customers by offering our pre-existing ICS reciprocal insured deposit program to those with concerns about deposit insurance;

•Held regular company-wide calls to provide timely information to our employees;

•Maintained a regular cadence of communication with funding sources, counterparties and regulators;

•Made senior management available to customers as needed; and

•Are re-evaluating the Bank's concentration limits around certain types of larger deposits.

Quarterly Highlights

In evaluating our financial performance, we consider the level of and trends in net interest income, the net interest margin, the cost of deposits, levels and composition of non-interest income and non-interest expense, performance ratios such as the return on average equity and return on average assets and asset quality ratios, including the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans, non-performing assets to total assets, trends in criticized and classified assets and portfolio delinquency and charge-off trends. We consider growth in and the composition of earning assets and deposits, the composition and level of available liquidity, our interest rate risk profile, trends in funding mix and cost of funds. We analyze these ratios and trends against our own historical performance, our budgeted performance, our risk appetite and the financial condition and performance of comparable financial institutions.

Quarterly highlights include:

•Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $52.9 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to $64.2 million or $0.82 per diluted share for the immediately preceding three months ended December 31, 2022 and $67.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

•CET1 was 10.8% at the holding company and 12.5% at the Bank at March 31, 2023. Pro-forma CET1 at the holding company, including accumulated other comprehensive income, was 9.4% at March 31, 2023.

•Our liquidity position is strong. At March 31, 2023, the Bank had total same day available liquidity of approximately $9.4 billion. As of April 21, 2023, available liquidity had increased to approximately $12.3 billion. At March 31, 2023, the Bank's ratio of estimated insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was 62% and its available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits ratio was 95%. The ratio of available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits improved to 128% at April 21, 2023.

•During the week immediately following the onset of recent events impacting the banking sector, the Bank experienced elevated deposit outflows; deposit flows stabilized thereafter. Total deposits declined by $1.79 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023, while non-interest bearing demand deposits declined by $671 million. Net deposit outflows the week of March 13, 2023 totaled $1.75 billion. Outflows totaling $1.9 billion that week were attributable to a small number of larger institutional customers. For the weeks of March 20 and March 27, 2023, there were net deposit inflows totaling $245 million.

•Non-interest bearing demand deposits were 29% of total deposits at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

•Net interest income and the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were negatively impacted by an increase in the cost of funds which more than offset the increased yield on interest-earning assets. A greater than anticipated decline in average non-interest bearing deposits and an increase in on-balance sheet liquidity led to an increase in higher cost deposits and FHLB advances. The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 2.81% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net interest income decreased by $15.2 million, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 and increased by $19.2 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

•In response to the rising interest rate environment, tightening liquidity conditions and recent events impacting the banking sector, the average cost of total deposits rose to 2.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 1.42% for the immediately preceding three months ended December 31, 2022. The yield on average interest earning assets increased to 5.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 4.60% for the immediately preceding three months.

•For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $19.8 million compared to provisions of $39.6 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The ratio of the ACL to total loans increased to 0.64%, at March 31, 2023 from 0.59% at December 31, 2022.

•Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included a $13.3 million net loss on certain preferred equity investments.

•Total loans was flat quarter-over-quarter, with a $111 million decline in residential offsetting net growth in the commercial segments of $118 million. The core C&I and CRE portfolio segments grew by $144 million.

•The pre-tax net unrealized loss on investment securities AFS improved by $100 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $574 million from $674 million at December 31, 2022. The duration of the AFS portfolio was 1.95 at March 31, 2023. Securities held to maturity totaled only $10 million at March 31, 2023.

•The Company announced an increase of $0.02 per share in its common stock dividend for the three months ended March 31, 2023, to $0.27 per common share, reflecting an 8% increase from the previous level of $0.25 per share.

•During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $55.0 million, at a weighted average price of $33.41 per share. In light of the current macro-environment, we have suspended share repurchase activity.

•Book value and tangible book value per common share improved to $33.34 and $32.30, respectively, at March 31, 2023, from $32.19 and $31.16, respectively at December 31, 2022.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest incurred on interest bearing liabilities and is the primary driver of core earnings. Net interest income is impacted by the mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the ratio of interest earning assets to total assets and of interest bearing liabilities to total funding sources, movements in market interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, levels of non-performing assets and pricing pressure from competitors.

The mix of interest earning assets is influenced by loan demand, market and competitive conditions in our primary lending markets, by management's continual assessment of the rate of return and relative risk associated with various classes of earning assets and liquidity considerations. The mix of interest bearing liabilities is influenced by the Company's liquidity profile, management's assessment of the desire for lower cost funding sources weighed against relationships with customers and growth expectations, our ability to attract and retain core deposit relationships, competition for deposits in the Company's markets and the availability and pricing of other sources of funds. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the mix of interest bearing liabilities was negatively impacted by a higher rate environment, the quantitative tightening policy stance of the FRB which has led to a decline in deposit levels across the banking industry and deposit outflows related to events that impacted the banking sector in March, 2023. These factors contributed to a decline in average non-interest bearing demand deposits and to an increase in higher cost funding sources, including wholesale funding such as FHLB advances.

The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information about (i) average balances, the total dollar amount of taxable equivalent interest income from earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) average balances, the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest bearing liabilities and the resultant average rates; (iii) net interest income; (iv) the interest rate spread; and (v) the net interest margin. Non-accrual loans are included in the average balances presented in this table; however, interest income foregone on non-accrual loans is not included. Interest income, yields, spread and margin have been calculated on a tax-equivalent basis for loans and investment securities that are exempt from federal income taxes, at a federal tax rate of 21% (dollars in thousands):

(1)On a tax-equivalent basis where applicable. The tax-equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt loans was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and $3.0 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022. The tax-equivalent adjustment for tax-exempt investment securities was $0.9 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(2)Annualized

(3)At fair value except for securities held to maturity.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022

Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $232.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $247.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $15.1 million. The decrease in net interest income was comprised of increases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $39.0 million and $54.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. Overall, the net interest margin was negatively impacted by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and FHLB advances, more than offsetting the increased yield on interest earnings assets. A decline in average non-interest bearing deposits and an increase in on-balance sheet liquidity contributed to an increase in higher-cost funding.

The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 2.81% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. More detail about factors impacting the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022 included:

•The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 4.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 4.33% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This increase resulted primarily from the reset of coupon rates on variable rate securities.

•The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased to 5.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 4.72% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Factors contributing to this increase were the resetting of variable rate loans at higher coupon rates and originations of new loans at higher rates.

•The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 2.06% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, in response to the rising interest rate environment, tightening liquidity conditions and the shift from non-interest bearing deposits to deposits priced at current, higher market rates.

•The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased to 4.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 3.44% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to higher prevailing rates.

•Average non-interest bearing demand deposits declined by $780 million while average cash balances increased by $313 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Correspondingly, the increase in average interest-bearing sources of funds added to the balance sheet at higher current rates totaled $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The estimated impact of this shift on the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 0.14%.

Three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022

Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $232.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $212.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $19.8 million. The increase in net interest income was comprised of increases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $205.0 million and $185.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in tax equivalent interest income was driven primarily by increases in interest income from loans and investment securities of $117.6 million and $75.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense was driven by increases in interest expense on deposits and borrowings of $121.8 million and $63.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Increases in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflected increases in both the average balance of and the yields on loans and rising yields on investment securities. Increases in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 reflected the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a decline in the average balance and an increase in both the cost and average balance of FHLB advances. A decline in average non-interest bearing deposits and an increase in on-balance sheet liquidity also contributed to the increase in interest expense.

The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Offsetting factors impacting the net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 included:

•The tax-equivalent yield on loans expanded to 5.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 3.36% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Factors contributing to this increase were the resetting of variable rate loans at higher coupon rates and originations of new loans at higher rates.

•The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 4.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 1.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase resulted primarily from the reset of coupon rates on variable rate securities as well as purchases of securities at higher yields.

•The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 0.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily in response to the rising interest rate environment and tightening liquidity conditions.

•The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased to 4.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from 1.11% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher prevailing rates.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is a charge or credit to earnings required to maintain the ACL at a level consistent with management’s estimate of expected credit losses on financial assets carried at amortized cost at the balance sheet date. The amount of the provision is impacted by changes in current economic conditions as well as in management's reasonable and supportable economic forecast, loan originations and runoff, changes in portfolio mix, risk rating migration and portfolio seasoning, changes in specific reserves, changes in expected prepayment speeds and other assumptions. The provision for credit losses also includes amounts related to off-balance sheet credit exposures and may include amounts related to accrued interest receivable and AFS debt securities.

The following table presents the components of the provision for credit losses for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Amount related to funded portion of loans	$	17,595	$	7,446
Amount related to off-balance sheet credit exposures	2,193		384


Total provision for credit losses	$	19,788	$	7,830

The most significant factors impacting the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were a deteriorating economic forecast and an increase in certain specific reserves.

The provision for credit losses may continue to be volatile and the level of the ACL may change materially from current levels. Future levels of the ACL could be significantly impacted, in either direction, by changes in factors such as economic conditions or the economic outlook, in composition of the loan portfolio, in the financial condition of our borrowers and collateral values.

The determination of the amount of the ACL is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. See “Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses” below for more information about how we determine the appropriate level of the ACL and about factors that impacted the ACL and provision for credit losses.

Non-Interest Income

The following table presents a comparison of the categories of non-interest income for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Deposit service charges and fees	$	5,545	$	5,960






Gain (loss) on investment securities:
Net realized gain on sale of securities AFS	752		2,673
Net loss on marketable equity securities recognized in earnings	(13,301)		(10,541)
Loss on investment securities, net	(12,549)		(7,868)
Lease financing	13,109		13,415
Other non-interest income	10,430		2,794
	$	16,535	$	14,301

The loss on investment securities during both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 was attributable to losses related to certain preferred equity investments.

The most significant factor leading to the increase in other non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was an increase in income related to the COLI assets supporting our deferred compensation plan. Lending related fees and gain on sale of buyout loans also increased comparatively.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Employee compensation and benefits	$	71,051	$	67,088
Occupancy and equipment	10,802		11,512
Deposit insurance expense	7,907		3,403
Professional fees	2,918		2,262
Technology	21,726		17,004

Depreciation and impairment of operating lease equipment	11,521		12,610

Other non-interest expense	26,855		12,445
Total non-interest expense	$	152,780	$	126,324

Increases in employee compensation and benefits and technology expenses reflected labor market dynamics and continuing investment in people and technology to support future growth.

Deposit insurance expense increased by $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflecting an increase in the assessment rate.

Other non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included $4.4 million related to certain operational and fraud losses. Costs related to deposit rebate and commissions programs increased by $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Influenced by recent events impacting the banking sector, the Company's funding mix shifted during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as total deposits declined by $1.8 billion, while FHLB advances and Fed Funds purchased grew by a net $1.9 billion. The funding mix was also impacted by the rising rate environment, as customers sought higher yields on their cash balances. Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased by $671 million, while time deposits grew by $982 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents grew by $331 million for the quarter to $904 million at March 31, 2023, while investment securities declined by $222 million, inclusive of a $100 million improvement in the level of net unrealized losses. Total loans was essentially flat to December 31, 2022, growing by $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, with a decline in residential being offset by net growth in the commercial segments.

Investment securities held to maturity	10,000		10,000		10,000		10,000
	$	10,038,525	9,464,830		$	10,338,650	9,664,443
Marketable equity securities			68,769				90,884
			$	9,533,599			$	9,755,327

Our investment strategy has focused on insuring adequate liquidity, maintaining a suitable balance of high credit quality, diverse assets, managing interest rate risk, and generating acceptable returns given our established risk parameters. We have sought to maintain liquidity by investing a significant portion of the portfolio in high quality liquid securities including U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agency and sponsored enterprise securities. Investment grade municipal securities provide liquidity and attractive tax-equivalent yields. We have also invested in highly rated structured products, including private-label commercial and residential MBS, collateralized loan obligations, single family real estate-backed securities and non-mortgage asset-backed securities that, while somewhat less liquid, although generally pledgeable at either the FHLB or the FRB, provide us with attractive yields. Relatively short effective portfolio duration helps mitigate interest rate risk. Based on the Company’s assumptions, the estimated weighted average life of the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2023 was 5.3 years and the effective duration of the portfolio was 1.95.

The investment securities AFS portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $573.7 million at March 31, 2023, compared to a net unrealized loss position of $674.2 million at December 31, 2022, improving by $100 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Net unrealized losses at March 31, 2023 included $5.3 million of gross unrealized gains and $579.0 million of gross unrealized losses. Investment securities available for sale in unrealized loss positions at March 31, 2023 had an aggregate fair value of $8.9 billion. The unrealized losses resulted primarily from rising interest rates and widening spreads related to the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening and benchmark interest rate increases. Continuing uncertainty with respect to the trajectory of the economy and geopolitical events have also led to market uncertainty, producing some yield curve dislocations. None of the unrealized losses were attributable to credit loss impairments.

The ratings distribution of our AFS securities portfolio at March 31, 2023 is depicted in the chart below:

We evaluate the credit quality of individual securities in the portfolio quarterly to determine whether we expect to recover the amortized cost basis of the investments in unrealized loss positions. This evaluation considers, but is not necessarily limited to, the following factors, the relative significance of which varies depending on the circumstances pertinent to each individual security:

•Whether we intend to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis;

•Whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis;

•The extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost;

•Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry or geographic area;

•Changes in the financial condition of the issuer or underlying loan obligors;

•The payment structure and remaining payment terms of the security, including levels of subordination or over-collateralization;

•Failure of the issuer to make scheduled payments;

•Changes in credit ratings;

•Relevant market data;

•Estimated prepayments, defaults, and the value and performance of underlying collateral at the individual security level.

We do not intend to sell securities in significant unrealized loss positions at March 31, 2023. Based on an assessment of our liquidity position and internal and regulatory guidelines for permissible investments and concentrations, it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell securities in significant unrealized loss positions prior to recovery of amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. While recent events impacting the banking sector have impacted the liquidity profile of many banks, including BankUnited, the substantial majority of our investment securities are pledgeable at either the FHLB or FRB. We have not sold, and do not anticipate the need to sell, securities in unrealized loss positions to generate liquidity.

We regularly engage with bond managers to monitor trends in underlying collateral, including potential downgrades and subsequent cash flow diversions, liquidity, ratings migration, and any other relevant developments.

We use third-party pricing services to assist us in estimating the fair value of investment securities. We perform a variety of procedures to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used by the pricing services including obtaining and reviewing written documentation of the methods and assumptions employed, conducting interviews with valuation desk personnel and reviewing model results and detailed assumptions used to value selected securities as considered necessary. Our classification of prices within the fair value hierarchy is based on an evaluation of the nature of the significant assumptions impacting the valuation of each type of security in the portfolio. We have established a robust price challenge process that includes a review by our treasury front office of all prices provided on a monthly basis. Any price evidencing unexpected month over month fluctuations or deviations from our expectations based on recent observed trading activity and other information available in the marketplace that would impact the value of the security is challenged. Responses to the price challenges, which generally include specific information about inputs and assumptions incorporated in the valuation and their sources, are reviewed in detail. If considered necessary to resolve any discrepancies, a price will be obtained from additional independent valuation sources. We do not typically adjust the prices provided, other than through this established challenge process. Our primary pricing services utilize observable inputs when available, and employ unobservable inputs and proprietary models only when observable inputs are not available. As a matter of course, the services validate prices by comparison to recent trading activity whenever such activity exists. Quotes obtained from the pricing services are typically non-binding.

The majority of our investment securities are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. U.S. Treasury securities and marketable equity securities are classified within level 1 of the hierarchy.

For additional discussion of the fair values of investment securities, see Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

1-4 single family residential	$	7,133,615	$	7,128,834
Government insured residential	1,656,129		1,771,880

	$	8,789,744	$	8,900,714

The 1-4 single family residential loan portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans, is primarily comprised of prime jumbo loans purchased through established correspondent channels. 1-4 single family residential mortgage loans are primarily closed-end, first lien jumbo mortgages for the purchase or re-finance of owner occupied property. The loans have terms ranging from 10 to 30 years, with either fixed or adjustable interest rates. At March 31, 2023, $1.1 billion or 16% were secured by investor-owned properties.

The Company acquires non-performing FHA and VA insured mortgages from third party servicers who have exercised their right to purchase these loans out of GNMA securitizations (collectively, "government insured pool buyout loans" or "buyout loans"). Buyout loans that re-perform, either through modification or self-cure, may be eligible for re-securitization. The Company and the servicer share in the economics of the sale of these loans into new securitizations. The balance of buyout loans totaled $1.6 billion at March 31, 2023. The Company is not the servicer of these loans.

The office segment totaled $1.8 billion at March 31, 2023. The largest concentration of loans is in Florida, where we believe market dynamics to be favorable, at 58% of the segment. Over 90% of Florida office loans are suburban, and the majority are Class A or medical offices. The New York Tri-State market encompasses approximately 23% of the segment, with 9% of total office exposure in Manhattan and 14% in Long Island, the boroughs and the neighboring tri-state area. The remaining 19% of office loans are in other markets with no particular geographic concentration, typically made to high quality sponsors in our NY tri-state or FL customer base. Estimated rent rollover of the office portfolio in the next 12 months is approximately 10% of the portfolio. The office segment has de-minimis delinquent or nonperforming loans and five-year cumulative net charge-offs of approximately $2 million.

The Company’s commercial real estate underwriting standards most often provide for loan terms of five to seven years, with amortization schedules of no more than thirty years.

Commercial and industrial loans are typically made to small, middle market and larger corporate businesses and not-for-profit entities and include equipment loans, secured and unsecured working capital facilities, formula-based loans, subscription finance lines of credit, trade finance, SBA product offerings, business acquisition finance credit facilities, credit facilities to institutional real estate entities such as REITs and commercial real estate investment funds, and a small amount of commercial credit cards. These loans may be structured as term loans, typically with maturities of five to seven years, or revolving lines of credit which may have multi-year maturities. In addition to financing provided by Pinnacle, the Bank provides financing to state and local governmental entities generally within our geographic markets. Commercial loans included loans meeting the regulatory definition of shared national credits totaling $4.8 billion at March 31, 2023, the majority of which were relationship based loans to borrowers in our primary geographic footprint. The Bank makes loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate that typically have risk profiles more closely aligned with that of commercial and industrial loans than with other types of commercial real estate loans.

Through its commercial lending subsidiaries, Pinnacle and Bridge, the Bank provides equipment and franchise financing on a national basis using both loan and lease structures. Pinnacle provides essential-use equipment financing to state and local governmental entities directly and through vendor programs and alliances. Pinnacle offers a full array of financing structures including equipment lease purchase agreements and direct (private placement) bond re-fundings and loan agreements. Bridge has two operating divisions. The franchise finance division offers franchise acquisition, expansion and equipment financing, typically to experienced operators in well-established concepts. The franchise finance portfolio is made up primarily of quick service restaurant and fitness concepts comprising 41% and 54% of the portfolio, respectively. The equipment finance division provides primarily transportation equipment financing through a variety of loan and lease structures.

Geographic Concentrations

The Company's commercial and commercial real estate portfolios are concentrated in Florida and the Tri-state area. 60% and 26% of commercial real estate loans were secured by collateral located in Florida and the Tri-state area, respectively; while 31% and 27% of all other commercial loans, including Pinnacle and Bridge, were to borrowers in Florida and the Tri-state area, respectively.

Asset Quality

Commercial Loans

We have a robust credit risk management framework, an experienced team to lead the workout and recovery process for the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios and a dedicated internal credit review function. Loan performance is monitored by our credit administration, portfolio management and workout and recovery departments. Generally, commercial relationships with balances in excess of defined thresholds are re-evaluated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted. The defined thresholds range from $1 million to $3 million. Homogenous groups of smaller balance commercial loans may be monitored collectively. The credit quality and risk rating of commercial loans as well as our underwriting and portfolio management practices are regularly reviewed by our internal independent credit review department.

We believe internal risk rating is the best indicator of the credit quality of commercial loans. The Company utilizes a 16-grade internal asset risk classification system as part of its efforts to monitor and maintain commercial asset quality. The special mention rating is considered a transitional rating for loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that could result in deterioration of repayment prospects at some future date if not checked or corrected and that deserve management’s close attention. These borrowers may exhibit declining cash flows or revenues or increasing leverage. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses that may result in a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected are assigned a risk rating of substandard. These borrowers may exhibit payment defaults, inadequate cash flows from current operations, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, exhausted interest reserves, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts or past due real estate taxes. Loans with weaknesses so severe that collection in full is highly questionable

or improbable, but because of certain reasonably specific pending factors have not been charged off, are assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

The following table summarizes the Company's commercial credit exposure, based on internal risk rating, at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Operating Lease Equipment, net

Operating leases with a carrying value of assets under lease totaling $17 million were internally risk rated substandard at March 31, 2023. On a quarterly basis, management performs an impairment analysis on assets with indicators of potential impairment. Potential impairment indicators include evidence of changes in residual value, macro-economic conditions, an extended period of time off-lease, criticized or classified status, or management's intention to sell the asset at an amount potentially below its carrying value. There were no impairment charges recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Bridge had exposure to the energy industry of $244 million at March 31, 2023. The majority of the energy exposure was in the operating lease equipment portfolio where energy exposure totaled $215 million, consisting primarily of railcars serving the petroleum industry.

Residential Loans

Our residential mortgage portfolio, excluding GNMA buyout loans, consists primarily of prime jumbo loans purchased through established correspondent channels. Most of our purchases are of performing jumbo mortgage loans which have FICO scores above 700, primarily are owner-occupied and full documentation, and have a current LTV of 80% or less although loans with LTVs higher than 80% may be extended to selected credit-worthy borrowers. We perform due diligence on the purchased loans for credit, compliance, counterparty, payment history and property valuation.

We have a dedicated residential credit risk management function, and the residential portfolio is monitored by our internal credit review function. Residential mortgage loans are not individually risk rated. Delinquency status is the primary measure we use to monitor the credit quality of these loans. We also consider original LTV and most recently available FICO score to be significant indicators of credit quality for the 1-4 single family residential portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans.

The following charts present information about the 1-4 single family residential portfolio, excluding government insured loans, by FICO distribution, LTV distribution and vintage at March 31, 2023:

FICO scores are generally updated semi-annually and were most recently updated in the first quarter of 2023. LTVs are typically based on valuation at origination since we do not routinely update residential appraisals.

At March 31, 2023, the majority of the 1-4 single family residential loan portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans, was owner-occupied, with 79% primary residence, 5% second homes and 16% investment properties.

1-4 single family residential loans excluding government insured residential loans past due more than 30 days totaled $65 million and $62 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The amount of these loans 90 days or more past due was $15 million at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements presents additional information about key credit quality indicators and delinquency status of the loan portfolio.

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets generally consist of (i) non-accrual loans, (ii) accruing loans that are more than 90 days contractually past due as to interest or principal, excluding PCD loans for which management has a reasonable basis for an expectation about future cash flows and government insured residential loans, and (iii) OREO and other non-performing assets.

The following table and charts summarize the Company's non-performing loans and non-performing assets at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

(1) Non-performing loans and assets include the guaranteed portion of non-accrual SBA loans totaling $36.9 million or 0.15% of total loans and 0.10% of total assets, at March 31, 2023, and $40.3 million or 0.16% of total loans and 0.11% of total assets, at December 31, 2022.

(2) Annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2023; ratio presented for December 31, 2022 is for the full year ended December 31, 2022.

Contractually delinquent government insured residential loans are typically GNMA early buyout loans and are excluded from non-performing loans as defined in the table above due to their government guarantee. The carrying value of such loans contractually delinquent by 90 days or more was $438 million and $493 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

See "Results of Operations - Provision for Credit Losses" above and “Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses” below for further discussion of the Provision for Credit Losses and the ACL.

The following chart presents trends in non-performing loans by portfolio sub-segment (in millions):

Commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when (i) management has determined that full repayment of all contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or (ii) the loan is past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Residential and consumer loans, other than government insured pool buyout loans, are generally placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, uncollected interest accrued is reversed and charged to interest income. Commercial loans are returned to accrual status only after all past due principal and interest has been collected and full repayment of remaining contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured. Residential loans are generally returned to accrual status when less than 90 days past due. Past due status of loans is determined based on the contractual next payment due date. Loans less than 30 days past due are reported as current.

Loss Mitigation Strategies

Criticized or classified commercial loans in excess of certain thresholds are reviewed quarterly by the Criticized Asset Committee, which evaluates the appropriate strategy for collection to mitigate the amount of credit losses and considers the appropriate risk rating for these loans. Criticized asset reports for each relationship are presented by the assigned relationship manager and credit officer to the Criticized Asset Committee until such time as the relationships are returned to a satisfactory credit risk rating or otherwise resolved. The Criticized Asset Committee may require the transfer of a loan to our workout and recovery department, which is tasked to effectively manage the loan with the goal of minimizing losses and expenses associated with restructure, collection and/or liquidation of collateral. Commercial loans with a risk rating of substandard, loans on non-accrual status, and assets classified as OREO or repossessed assets are usually transferred to workout and recovery. Oversight of the workout and recovery department is provided by the Criticized Asset Committee.

Our servicers evaluate each residential loan in default to determine the most effective loss mitigation strategy, which may be modification, short sale, or foreclosure, and pursue the alternative most suitable to the consumer and to mitigate losses to the bank.

Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL is management's estimate of the amount of expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio, or the amount of amortized cost basis not expected to be collected, at the balance sheet date. This estimate encompasses information about historical events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Determining the amount of the ACL is complex and requires extensive judgment by management about matters that are inherently uncertain. Given the current level of economic uncertainty, the complexity of the ACL estimate and level of management judgment required, we believe it is possible that the ACL estimate could change, potentially materially, in future periods. Changes in the ACL may result from changes in current economic conditions, our economic forecast, loan portfolio composition, commercial real estate market

dynamics in our geographic footprint and circumstances not currently known to us that may impact the financial condition and operations of our borrowers, among other factors.

Expected credit losses are estimated on a collective basis for groups of loans that share similar risk characteristics. For loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans such as collateral dependent loans, expected credit losses are estimated on an individual basis. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual terms of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments, generally excluding expected extensions, renewals, and modifications.

For the substantial majority of portfolio segments and subsegments, including residential loans other than government insured loans, and most commercial and commercial real estate loans, expected losses are estimated using econometric models. The models employ a factor based methodology, leveraging data sets containing extensive historical loss and recovery information by industry, geography, product type, collateral type and obligor characteristics, to estimate PD and LGD. Measures of PD for commercial loans incorporate current conditions through market cycle or credit cycle adjustments. For residential loans, the models consider FICO and adjusted LTVs. PDs and LGDs are then conditioned on the reasonable and supportable economic forecast. Projected PDs and LGDs, determined based on pool level characteristics, are applied to estimated exposure at default, considering the contractual term and payment structure of loans, adjusted for prepayments, to generate estimates of expected loss. For criticized or classified loans, PDs are adjusted to benchmark PDs established for each risk rating. The ACL estimate incorporates a reasonable and supportable economic forecast through the use of externally developed macroeconomic scenarios applied in the models.

A single economic scenario or a probability weighted blend of economic scenarios may be used. The models ingest numerous national, regional and MSA level variables and data points.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we used a single externally provided baseline scenario in calculating the quantitative portion of the ACL. These externally provided scenarios in fact, represent the result of a probability weighting of thousands of individual scenario paths. At December 31, 2022, we incorporated a downside scenario to inform the amount of qualitative reserves, which effectively equated the ACL for most portfolio segments to that determined using a 100% weighted downside scenario. The downside scenario reflected peak unemployment at 6.4% and a trough of negative GDP growth of 3.7%. The substantial majority of the qualitative adjustment related to economic uncertainty determined at December 31, 2022 remained in place at March 31, 2023.

See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detailed information about our ACL methodology.

Significant offsetting factors contributing to the change in the ACL during the three months ended March 31, 2023 are depicted in the chart below (dollars in millions):

Changes in the ACL during the three months ended March 31, 2023

As depicted in the chart above, the primary drivers of the increase in the ACL from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 were increases in specific reserves, changes in the economic forecast and new production, partially offset by net charge-offs and a decrease in certain qualitative loss factors. The ACL as a percentage of loans was 0.64% at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.59% at December 31, 2022.

The ACL for the commercial and industrial sub-segment, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, increased by $15.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 1.10% to 1.25% of loans. The most significant contributing factor was an increase in certain specific reserves. Changes in the economic forecast also contributed to this increase.

The ACL for the BFG franchise finance portfolio segment decreased by $6.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, from 4.63% to 2.33% of loans. Substantially all of this decrease was due to the charge-off of a loan that had been fully reserved for at December 31, 2022.

The estimate of the ACL at March 31, 2023 was informed by forecasted economic scenarios published in March 2023, a wide variety of additional economic data, information about borrower financial condition and collateral values and other relevant information. The economic forecast used in modeling the quantitative portion of the ACL as of March 31, 2023, was a third-party provided baseline forecast. Also, see the preceding discussion related to incorporation of economic forecasts in the ACL estimate. Some of the data points informing the reasonable and supportable economic forecast used in estimating the quantitative portion of the ACL at March 31, 2023 included:

•Labor market assumptions, which reflected national unemployment at 3.5% for the second quarter of 2023, increasing to 4.0% by the end of 2023 through 2024;

•Annualized growth in GDP at 1.0% for the second quarter of 2023, declining to 1%, averaging 1.9% for 2023 and 2024;

•S&P 500 flat in the second quarter of 2023 with gains of 11.5% and 2.4% by the end of 2023 and 2024, respectively;

•HPI decline of 5.2% in the second quarter of 2023, with further declines of 3.6% and 3.5% by the end of 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Additional variables and assumptions not explicitly stated, including but not limited to commercial property forecasts, projected stock market volatility indices and a variety of assumptions about market interest rates and spreads also contributed to the overall impact economic conditions and the economic forecast had on the ACL estimate. Furthermore, while the variables presented above are at the national level, many of the variables are regionalized at the market and submarket level in the models.

For additional information about the ACL, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Deposits

The Company has a diverse deposit book by industry sector, with no deposits from venture capital or cryptocurrency-related businesses. Our largest deposit industry sector was title solutions, with approximately $2.0 billion in total deposits, spread across over 8,000 accounts and over 950 relationships at March 31, 2023; no other sectors exceeded $1.0 billion at March 31, 2023. Over 85% of title sector deposits were in operating accounts. Approximately 61% of our deposits are commercial or municipal in nature, with over 80% of commercial deposits considered relationship-based.

The following table presents information about the Company's insured and collateralized deposits as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):


Total deposits	$	25,722,898

Estimated amount of uninsured deposits	$	12,961,274
Less: collateralized deposits	(2,866,453)
Less: affiliate deposits	(231,159)
Adjusted uninsured deposits	$	9,863,662
Estimated insured and collateralized deposits	$	15,859,236

Insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits	62		%

In response to the recent events impacting the banking sector, we increased deposits in the insured ICS program by $164 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $282 million.

See the section entitled "Liquidity" below for a further discussion of the impact of March, 2023 events impacting the banking sector on the Bank's deposits.

Time deposit accounts with balances of $250,000 or more totaled $819 million and $730 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following table shows scheduled maturities of uninsured time deposits as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands):


Three months or less	$	77,688
Over three through six months	181,972
Over six through twelve months	448,020
Over twelve months	5,593
	$	713,273

The estimated amount of uninsured deposits at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $13.0 billion and $18.2 billion, respectively. Collateralized and affiliate deposits are included in these amounts.

For additional information about Deposits, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Borrowings

In addition to deposits, we utilize FHLB advances as a funding source; the advances provide us with additional flexibility in managing both term and cost of funding and in managing interest rate risk. FHLB advances were elevated at March 31, 2023 due to March, 2023 events impacting the banking industry. FHLB advances are secured by qualifying residential first mortgage and commercial real estate loans and MBS. The following table presents information about the contractual balance of outstanding FHLB advances, as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):


	Amount		Weighted Average Rate
Maturing in:
2023 - One month or less	$	3,920,000	4.89	%
2023 - Over one month	3,630,000		5.09	%




Total contractual balance outstanding	$	7,550,000

The table above reflects contractual maturities of outstanding advances and does not incorporate the impact that interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges have on the duration or cost of borrowings. FHLB advances drawn down in March, 2023 were typically one month advances to provide for maximum flexibility in managing liquidity during a volatile time. Management is currently evaluating the optimal term structure of the advance portfolio in light of the Bank's current liquidity and interest rate risk profile.

The table below presents information about outstanding interest rate swaps hedging the variability of interest cash flows on the FHLB advances included in the table above, as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):


	Notional Amount		Weighted Average Rate

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity involves our ability to generate adequate funds to support planned interest earning asset growth, meet deposit withdrawal and credit line usage requests, maintain reserve requirements, conduct routine operations, pay dividends, service outstanding debt and meet other contractual obligations.

BankUnited's ongoing liquidity needs have historically been met primarily by cash flows from operations, deposit growth, the investment portfolio, its amortizing loan portfolio and FHLB advances. FRB discount window borrowings, reverse repurchase agreement capacity and a letter of credit with the FHLB provide additional sources of contingent liquidity. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 net cash provided by operating activities was $141 million and $457 million, respectively. The decline in cash flows from operating activities for the comparative periods is primarily related to fluctuations in the daily cash settlement of derivative positions centrally cleared through the CME and a lower volume of re-securitization of early buyout loans.

Available liquidity sources include cash; secured funding, such as borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, the Federal Reserve Discount Window and the BTFP; and unencumbered securities. Additional sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, wholesale deposits, cash flow from the Bank's amortizing securities and loan portfolios, and the sale of investment securities. Management also has the ability to exert substantial control over the rate and timing of loan production, and resultant requirements for liquidity to fund new loans.

The closures of two regional banks in March, 2023 led to a heightened level of deposit outflows during the week following those events. Deposit flows subsequently stabilized and have since remained within the range of what management considers to be normal operating activity. The following graph depicts aggregate deposit flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2023:

Deposit flows stablized 03132023 - 03312023.jpg

During the week of 3/13/2023, there were deposit outflows totaling $1.9 billion attributable to ten larger institutional customers. We reviewed the activity through March 31, 2023 for the remainder of the 200 largest depositors as of March 10, 2023 and did not see any significant indication of unusual deposit flow activity.

Following recent events impacting the banking system in March, we took prudent actions to maximize same-day available liquidity:

•Monetized securities and loan collateral by pledging to the FHLB and FRB;

•Increased the amount of cash held at the FRB;

•Increased deposits in the insured ICS program by increasing customer awareness of this product; and

•Maintained regular communication with funding sources and counterparties.

At March 31, 2023, the Bank had total same day available liquidity of approximately $9.4 billion, consisting of cash of $0.9 billion, borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $2.9 billion, borrowing capacity at the FRB of $4.6 billion and unencumbered securities of $1.0 billion. As of April 21, 2023, available liquidity increased to $12.3 billion.

At March 31, 2023, the ratio of estimated insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was 62% and the ratio of available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits was 95%. The ratio of available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits improved to 128% during the month of April, 2023.

The ALM policy establishes limits or operating thresholds and guidelines for a number of measures of liquidity which are monitored at least monthly by the ALCO and quarterly by the Board of Directors. In the current environment, many of these metrics are being monitored more frequently, at least weekly. The primary measures used to dimension liquidity risk are the ratio of available liquidity (excluding availability at the FRB) to volatile liabilities and a liquidity stress test coverage ratio. Other measures employed to monitor and manage liquidity include but are not limited to a 30-day total liquidity ratio (also excluding availability at the FRB), a one-year liquidity ratio, a wholesale funding ratio, concentrations of large deposits, a measure of on-balance sheet available liquidity, the ratio of FHLB advances to total assets and the ratio of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits, which is reflective of the quality and cost, rather than the quantity, of available liquidity.

The ALM policy stipulates that BankUnited’s liquidity is within policy limits if the available liquidity/volatile liabilities ratio and liquidity stress test ratios exceed 100%. At March 31, 2023, BankUnited’s available liquidity/volatile liabilities ratio was 169% on a trailing average basis and 136% on a spot basis and the liquidity stress test ratio was 150%. Due to the events impacting the banking industry in March and the resultant increase in FHLB advances, the wholesale funding ratio was elevated at March 31, 2023; because additional assets were pledged to the FHLB and FRB, the on-balance sheet available liquidity metric was lower than is typical. The Company has a comprehensive contingency liquidity funding plan and conducts a quarterly liquidity stress test, the results of which are reported to the risk committee of the Board of Directors.

As a holding company, BankUnited, Inc. is a corporation separate and apart from its banking subsidiary, and therefore, provides for its own liquidity. BankUnited, Inc.’s main sources of funds include management fees and dividends from the Bank, access to capital markets and, to a lesser extent, its own securities portfolio. There are regulatory limitations that may affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to BankUnited, Inc. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing near-term cash obligations.

Macro factors, including the recent events impacting the banking sector and the FRB's quantitative tightening policy stance, have led to reduced deposit levels across the banking system. As depicted above, BankUnited's total deposits declined by $1.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there is uncertainty as to the future impact of monetary policy on deposit levels both system-wide and at BankUnited. We believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity, as described above, to satisfy our liquidity needs and cash requirements over the next twelve months.

Capital

Pursuant to the FDIA, the federal banking agencies have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier system for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and the Bank had capital levels that exceeded both the regulatory well-capitalized guidelines and all internal capital ratio targets. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, the Company elected the option to temporarily delay the effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period.

The following table provides information regarding regulatory capital for the Company and the Bank as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

(1) There is no Tier 1 leverage ratio component in the definition of a well-capitalized bank holding company.

We believe we are well positioned, from a capital perspective, to withstand an economic downturn. CET1 risk-based capital, including AOCI would be 9.4% at BankUnited, Inc. and 11.1% at BankUnited N.A. as of March 31, 2023. We continually re-evaluate our stress testing framework and adapt it to evolving macro-economic conditions as necessary. The majority of our commercial portfolio is subject to quarterly stress test analysis. On an annual basis, we also run a rigorous stress test of our entire balance sheet incorporating the FRB's CCAR scenarios as well as additional idiosyncratic scenarios reflective of evolving macro-economic themes.

We have an active shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that allows the Company to periodically offer and sell in one or more offerings, individually or in any combination, our common stock, preferred stock and other non-equity securities. The shelf registration provides us with flexibility in issuing capital instruments and enables us to more readily access the capital markets as needed to pursue future growth opportunities and to ensure continued compliance with regulatory capital requirements. Our ability to issue securities pursuant to the shelf registration is subject to market conditions.

Interest Rate Risk

A principal component of the Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments, or market risk, is interest rate risk, including the risk that assets and liabilities with similar re-pricing characteristics may not reprice at the same time or to the same degree. A primary objective of the Company’s asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income, while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The ALCO is responsible for establishing policies to manage exposure to interest rate risk, and to ensure procedures are established to monitor compliance with these policies. The policies established by the ALCO are approved at least annually by the Board of Directors or its Risk Committee.

Management believes that the simulation of net interest income in different interest rate environments provides the most meaningful measure of interest rate risk. Income simulation analysis is designed to capture not only the potential of all assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability that they will do so. Income simulation also attends to the relative interest rate sensitivities of these items, and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. Finally, income simulation permits management to assess the probable effects on the balance sheet not only of changes in interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to them.

The income simulation model analyzes interest rate sensitivity by projecting net interest income over twelve and twenty-four month periods in a most likely rate scenario based on a consensus forward curve versus net interest income in alternative rate scenarios. Management continually reviews and refines its interest rate risk management process in response to changes in the interest rate environment, the economic climate and observed customer behavior. Currently, our interest rate risk policy framework is based on modeling instantaneous rate shocks to a static balance sheet of plus and minus 100, 200, 300 and 400

basis point shifts. We also model a variety of yield curve slope, depositor behavior assumptions and dynamic balance sheet scenarios. We continually evaluate the scenarios being modeled with a view toward adapting them to changing economic conditions, expectations and trends.

The following table presents the impact on forecasted net interest income compared to a "most likely" scenario in static balance sheet, parallel rate shock scenarios of plus 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as well as minus 100, 200 and 300 basis points scenarios at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, the most likely rate scenario reflected the consensus forward curve as of April 3, 2023 and floored all indices at 0%.

There are a variety of hedging strategies available and currently under evaluation by management to hedge exposure in a falling rate environment.

Management also simulates changes in EVE in various interest rate environments. The following table illustrates the modeled change in EVE in the indicated scenarios at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	Down 300		Down 200		Down 100		Plus 100		Plus 200		Plus 300		Plus 400

Model Results at December 31, 2022 - increase (decrease):	(1)	%	4	%	4	%	(5)	%	(11)	%	(17)	%	(23)	%

Many assumptions were used by the Company to calculate the impact of changes in interest rates, including the change in rates. Actual results may not be similar to the Company’s projections due to several factors including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions, changes in depositor behavior and loan prepayment speeds and the shape of the yield curve. Actual results may also differ due to the Company’s actions, if any, in response to changing rates and conditions.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow or fair value hedging instruments are one of the tools we use to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments are used to mitigate exposure to changes in interest cash flows on variable rate liabilities and to changes in the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments, in each case caused by fluctuations in benchmark interest rates, as well as to manage duration of liabilities.

The following table provides information about the Company's derivatives designated as hedging instruments as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):


				Weighted Average Pay Rate / Strike Price	Weighted Average Receive Rate / Strike Price	Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years
		Notional Amount
	Hedged Item
Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges:
Pay-fixed interest rate swaps	Variability of interest cash flows on variable rate borrowings	$	475,000	2.34%	3-Month LIBOR	2.9
Pay-fixed interest rate swaps	Variability of interest cash flows on variable rate borrowings	675,000		2.31%	Daily SOFR	1.5
Pay-fixed interest rate swaps	Variability of interest cash flows on variable rate liabilities	400,000		1.22%	Fed Funds Effective Rate	1.4
Pay-variable interest rate swaps	Variability of interest cash flows on variable rate loans	200,000		Term SOFR	3.72%	3.1
Interest rate caps purchased, indexed to Fed Funds effective rate	Variability of interest cash flows on variable rate liabilities	200,000		0.88%		2.2
Interest rate collar, indexed to 1-month SOFR(1)	Variability of interest cash flows on variable rate loans	125,000		5.58%	1.50%	3.4
Derivatives designated as fair value hedges:
Pay-fixed interest rate swaps	Variability of fair value of fixed rate loans	100,000		1.94%	Daily SOFR	1.3
		$	2,175,000

(1) The interest rate collar consists of a combination of zero-premium interest rate options. The Company sold a pay-variable cap with a strike price of 5.58%; sold a 0% floor; and purchased a receive-variable floor with a strike price of 1.50%.

In addition to derivative instruments, the Company has issued callable CDs to hedge interest rate risk in a falling rate environment; the amount of such instruments outstanding at March 31, 2023 was $653 million, The short duration of our AFS portfolio (1.95 at March 31, 2023) also provides a natural offset from an interest rate risk perspective to the longer duration of the residential mortgage portfolio.

See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about derivative financial instruments.

LIBOR Transition

The Company has implemented and is in the process of executing a detailed plan to facilitate the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates, with SOFR being the preferred alternative to LIBOR. A discussion of the Company's LIBOR transition plan and activities appears in the "LIBOR Transition" section in the MD&A of the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table below presents information about the Company's exposure to instruments that reference LIBOR as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands). We believe the fallback provisions of these instruments will provide for a smooth transition to an alternative reference rate prior to or as of the June 30, 2023 termination date.

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 basis for comparison to other financial institutions as it is a metric commonly used in the banking industry. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measurement of tangible book value per common share to the comparable GAAP financial measurement of book value per common share at the dates indicated (in thousands except share and per share data):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Total stockholders’ equity	$	2,481,394	$	2,435,981
Less: goodwill and other intangible assets	77,637		77,637
Tangible stockholders’ equity	$	2,403,757	$	2,358,344

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon currently available information and the advice of legal counsel, the likelihood is remote that the impact of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed by the Company in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2023.

Recent events affecting the banking industry predicated by the failure of three regional banks and resulting media coverage may have eroded customer confidence in the banking system and have adversely impacted liquidity, particularly for regional banks like BankUnited.

Recent bank failures have generated significant market volatility and adversely impacted stock prices among publicly traded bank holding companies and, in particular, regional banks like the Company. Many regional banks, including BankUnited, experienced higher than normal deposit outflows immediately following the first regional bank failures in March 2023. These developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness of regional banks. As a result of these recent events, customers may choose to maintain deposits with larger financial institutions or in other higher yielding alternatives, which could materially adversely impact the Company’s liquidity, loan funding capacity, net interest margin, capital and results of operations. While the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC have made statements regarding the safety and soundness of the banking system and taken actions to ensure that depositors of recently failed banks would have access to their deposits, including uninsured deposit accounts, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful in restoring customer confidence in regional banks and the banking system more broadly.

These recent events may result in potentially adverse changes to laws or regulations governing banks and bank holding companies or in the impositions of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital or liquidity requirements, which could have a material impact on our business. The cost of resolving the recent bank failures may prompt the FDIC to increase its deposit insurance premiums or assessments.
