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. 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 and six months ended June 30, 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. At June 30, 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 including its ability to pledge securities to generate liquidity, 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 June 30, 2023, 578 securities available for sale were in unrealized loss positions. The amount of impairment related to 107 of these securities was considered insignificant both individually and in the aggregate, totaling approximately $1.0 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 June 30, 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 $599.4 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $674.2 million at December 31, 2022, improving by $75 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 .
U.S. Government, U.S. Government Agency and Government Sponsored Enterprise Securities
At June 30, 2023, six U.S. treasury, 153 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, 117 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, 94% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 4% were rated AA and 2% were rated A.
Private label commercial MBS
At June 30, 2023, 97 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, 84% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 11% were rated AA and 5% were rated A.
Single family real estate-backed securities
At June 30, 2023, 16 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 June 30, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for this category of 8% compared to weighted average credit support of 52%. As of June 30, 2023, 64% of impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 14% were rated AA and one security was not externally rated.
Collateralized loan obligations
At June 30, 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 June 30, 2023 analysis projected weighted average collateral losses for impaired securities in this category of 11% compared to weighted average credit support of 44%. As of June 30, 2023, 81% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, 15% were rated AA and 4% were rated A.

Non-mortgage asset-backed securities
At June 30, 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, 46% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, and 54% were rated AA.
State and Municipal Obligations
At June 30, 2023, five 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 June 30, 2023, 93% of the impaired securities in this category, based on carrying value, were externally rated AAA, and 7% were rated AA.

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 or potential disruptions in economic activity, health of the national, regional and to a lesser extent global 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.

Note 5 Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 26.2% and 26.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 24.8% and 24.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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.

As of June 30, 2023, the amount of net gain expected to be reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the next twelve months was $56.8 million. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about the reclassification adjustments from AOCI into earnings.

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 and six months ended June 30, 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.

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.
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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
Following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities that may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.
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.
The following table presents the net carrying value of assets classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the dates indicated, for which non-recurring changes in fair value were recorded during the period then ended (in thousands):

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.
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include commercial and commercial real estate 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 June 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):
Commitments to fund loans | $ | 245,376 | |||

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved 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.

Overview
Overview and Quarterly Highlights
Recent Events:
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 flows, and confidence in the banking system. Conditions and market perceptions have stabilized considerably since those events, however, pressure on bank margins, in part influenced by those events, remains, as does a level of market uncertainty. Despite these circumstances, loan and deposit pipelines are growing, deposit flows are generally stable and within the range of what we would consider normal operating activity. Our liquidity position is strong and our capital base is robust; both improved over the course of the second quarter.
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.
•Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $58.0 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, compared to $52.9 million or $0.70 per diluted share for the immediately preceding three months ended March 31, 2023 and $65.8 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $110.9 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, compared to $132.9 million, or $1.60 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
•Our liquidity position remains strong, and improved over the course of the second quarter. At June 30, 2023, The Bank's total same day available liquidity had increased to $14.7 billion from $9.4 billion at March 31, 2023. The Bank's ratio of available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits improved to 167% at June 30, 2023 from 95% at March 31, 2023 while the portion of our deposits that were insured or collateralized grew to 66% at June 30, 2023 from 62% at March 31, 2023.
33
•Total deposits grew by $116 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Non-interest bearing demand deposits declined by $62 million over the quarter but remained largely consistent as a percentage of total deposits, representing 28.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2023 compared to 28.6% at March 31, 2023. Year to date, non-interest bearing demand deposits declined by $733 million.
•Outstanding FHLB advances declined by $1.6 billion quarter-over-quarter.
•Net interest income and the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were impacted by an increase in the cost of funds which more than offset the increased yield on interest-earning assets. A challenging deposit growth environment and a higher level of on-balance sheet liquidity for much of the quarter led to increased reliance on higher cost deposits and wholesale funding. The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Net interest income decreased by $14.0 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 and by $11.5 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
•Consistent with industry trends, rising interest rates and tighter liquidity conditions contributed to an increase in the average cost of total deposits to 2.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 2.05% for the immediately preceding three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase of 0.41% was smaller than the 0.63% increase in the cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The yield on average interest earning assets increased to 5.30% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 5.05% for the immediately preceding three months ended March 31, 2023.
•Total loans declined by $263 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Most of the decline was attributable to a $184 million decline in residential loans. Consistent with our strategy to re-position the composition of the balance sheet, cash flows from the residential portfolio were used to pay down wholesale funding.
•Credit remains favorable. The NPA ratio at June 30, 2023 was 0.34%, including 0.10% related to the guaranteed portion of non-performing SBA loans compared to 0.32%, including 0.10% related to the guaranteed portion of non-performing SBA loans at March 31, 2023. The annualized net charge-off ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 0.09%.
•Reflecting the Company's ongoing concentration risk management strategy, commercial real estate exposure is modest. Commercial real estate loans totaled 23% of loans at June 30, 2023, representing 169% of the Bank's total risk based capital. At June 30, 2023, the weighted average LTV of the CRE portfolio was 57.1% and the weighted average DSCR was 1.88. 60% of the portfolio was secured by collateral properties located in Florida and 25% was secured by properties located in the New York tri-state area.
•For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses was $15.5 million compared to a provision of $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The ratio of the ACL to total loans increased to 0.68%, at June 30, 2023 from 0.64% at March 31, 2023, reflecting the impact of a less favorable Moody's baseline economic forecast and heavier weighting of a downside scenario in estimating the ACL.
•Our capital position is robust. CET1 was 11.2% at the holding company and 13.0% at the Bank at June 30, 2023. Pro-forma CET1 at the holding company and the bank, including accumulated other comprehensive income, were 9.7% and 11.5%, respectively, at June 30, 2023.
•Book value and tangible book value per common share improved to $33.94 and $32.90, respectively, at June 30, 2023, from $33.34 and $32.30, respectively at March 31, 2023.
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 and monetary policy, 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 funding sources is influenced by the Company's liquidity profile, management's
34
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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, the mix of funding sources and net interest margin were negatively impacted by a higher rate environment, the restrictive policy stance of the FRB which has led to increased competition for deposits and 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 declines in average non-interest bearing demand deposits and to an increase in higher cost funding sources, including higher cost interest-bearing deposits and 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):

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the immediately preceding three months ended March 31, 2023
Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $218.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $232.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $14.0 million. The decrease in net interest income was comprised of increases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $23.0 million and $37.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 average on-balance sheet liquidity contributed to the need to access additional higher-cost funding.
More detail about factors impacting the net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 included:
•The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 5.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 4.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase resulted primarily from the reset of coupon rates on variable rate securities.
36
•The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased to 5.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 5.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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 3.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 2.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of the rising interest rate environment, tighter liquidity conditions, increased competition for deposits 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 4.59% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 4.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to higher prevailing rates, partially offset by the impact of cash flow hedges.
Three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022
Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $218.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $229.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $11.2 million. The decline in net interest income was comprised of increases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $196.8 million and $208.0 million, respectively.
Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $450.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $441.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $8.6 million, comprised of increases in tax-equivalent interest income and interest expense of $401.8 million and $393.2 million, respectively.
Increases in interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflected (i) increases in both the average balances of and yields on loans; (ii) rising yields on investment securities that more than offset declines in average balances; and (iii) to a lesser extent, higher yields on other interest earning assets. Increased yields on average interest earning assets were mainly reflective of the increase in market interest rates, which impacted both coupon rate resets on existing floating rate assets and the rates on new assets added to the balance sheet. Increases in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflected (i) an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a decline in the average balance for the comparative three and six-month periods; and (ii) an increase in both the cost and average balance of FHLB advances.
The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.47% and 2.55% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to 2.63% and 2.57% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Offsetting factors impacting the net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included:
•The tax-equivalent yield on loans expanded to 5.35% and 5.22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from 3.59% and 3.47% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Factors contributing to these increases were the resetting of variable rate loans at higher coupon rates and originations of new loans at higher prevailing rates.
•The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 5.19% and 5.07% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from 2.12% and 1.93% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. This increase resulted primarily from the reset of coupon rates on variable rate securities, purchases of higher-yielding securities, and paydowns and sales of lower-yielding securities.
•The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 3.39% and 3.12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from 0.45% and 0.34% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily in response to the rising interest rate environment, tightener liquidity conditions and resulting competition for deposits. The shift from non-interest bearing deposits to deposits priced at current, higher market rates was also a factor.
•The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased to 4.59% and 4.44% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, from 1.07% and 1.08% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, primarily due to higher prevailing rates, partially offset by the impact of cash flow hedges.

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):

Total provision for credit losses | $ | 15,517 | $ | 23,996 | $ | 35,305 | $ | 31,826 |
The most significant factor impacting the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were a less favorable Moody's baseline economic forecast and heavier weighting of a downside scenario for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Risk rating migration, including changes in certain specific reserves and increases in certain qualitative overlays also impacted the provision.
The provision for credit losses may 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, but not limited to, economic conditions or the economic outlook, the composition of the loan portfolio, 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.

The losses on marketable equity securities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was an increase in BOLI income, particularly as related to the BOLI assets supporting our deferred compensation plan.

Increases in deposit insurance expense were primarily attributable to an increase in the assessment rate.
Other non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included $4.4 million related to certain operational losses. Costs related to certain deposit customer rebate and commissions programs increased by $7.2 million and $14.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
Income Taxes
See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for information about income taxes.
Analysis of Financial Condition
For the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, average deposits declined by $794 million while average FHLB advances and Fed Funds purchased grew by $680 million. On average, cash balances increased by $257 million quarter-over-quarter. These shifts were attributable largely to events impacting the banking industry late in the first quarter. On a period-end basis at June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents declined by $603 million, securities declined by $390 million and loans declined by $263 million, while deposits grew by $116 million, and FHLB advances declined by $1.6 billion. These trends reflected stabilization of deposits, normalization of on-balance sheet liquidity and management's strategy of using cash flows from the residential loan and securities portfolios to reduce the level of wholesale borrowings.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, average deposits declined by $2.3 billion and average loans grew by $1.2 billion, while average FHLB advances and Fed Funds purchased in total grew by $3.5 billion. The decline in average total deposits resulted in part from the impact on the title insurance industry vertical of lower levels of activity in the residential mortgage sector brought on by rising mortgage rates, and was also consistent with broader industry deposit trends evidencing restrictive monetary policy. Within the deposit base, average non-interest bearing deposits declined by $2.0 billion, average interest bearing demand, money market and savings deposits declined by an aggregate $2.3 billion and average time deposits grew by $1.9 billion. The decline in average non-interest bearing demand deposits was in part a result of outflows from the title insurance industry vertical referenced previously. The shift in deposit mix was also impacted by the rising rate environment, as customers sought higher yields on their cash balances. In addition, these shifts reflected deposit outflows following the events of March, 2023, primarily from the money market category.

Our investment strategy has focused on ensuring 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, are generally pledgeable at either the FHLB or the FRB and provide us with attractive yields. We remain committed to keeping the duration of our securities portfolio short; 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 June 30, 2023 was 5.4 years and the effective duration of the investment portfolio was 1.94.
The investment securities AFS portfolio was in a net unrealized loss position of $599.4 million at June 30, 2023, compared to a net unrealized loss position of $674.2 million at December 31, 2022, improving by $75 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net unrealized losses at June 30, 2023 included $2.7 million of gross unrealized gains and $602.1 million of gross unrealized losses. Investment securities available for sale in unrealized loss positions at June 30, 2023 had an aggregate fair value of $8.7 billion. The unrealized losses resulted primarily from rising interest rates and widening spreads related to the Federal Reserve's restrictive monetary policy 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. None of the unrealized losses were attributable to credit loss impairments.

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 June 30, 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.

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 June 30, 2023, $1.1 billion or 15% 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 $1.5 billion at June 30, 2023. The Company is not the servicer of these loans.

The New York Tri-State market encompasses approximately 24% of the office segment, with 10% of total office exposure in Manhattan. As of June 30, 2023, the Manhattan portfolio was approximately 94% occupied with 5% rent rollover expected in the next twelve months. Substantially all of the Florida office portfolio is suburban.
Office loans not secured by properties in Florida or the New York tri-state area comprise 17% of the segment and exhibit no particular geographic concentration. Many of these loans were 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 11% of the portfolio. Approximately 16% is secured by medical office buildings.
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 $4.9 billion at June 30, 2023, a substantial portion 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.

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. Risk ratings are updated continuously; 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
49
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 June 30, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Bridge had exposure to the energy industry of $238 million at June 30, 2023. The majority of the energy exposure was in the operating lease equipment portfolio where energy exposure totaled $211 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.
51
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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, the majority of the 1-4 single family residential loan portfolio, excluding government insured residential loans, was owner-occupied, with 80% primary residence, 5% second homes and 15% investment properties.
1-4 single family residential loans excluding government insured residential loans past due more than 30 days totaled $51 million and $62 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The amount of these loans 90 days or more past due was $12 million and $15 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements presents additional information about key credit quality indicators and delinquency status of the loan portfolio.
Stress Testing Results
The majority of our commercial portfolio is subject to quarterly stress test analysis. We continually re-evaluate our stress testing framework and adapt it to evolving macro-economic conditions as necessary. On an annual basis, we also run a rigorous stress test of our entire balance sheet incorporating the FRB's severely adverse CCAR scenario as well as additional idiosyncratic scenarios reflective of evolving macro-economic themes. The latest stress test incorporating the FRB's CCAR severely adverse scenario was performed during the second quarter of 2023.

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 $373 million and $493 million at June 30, 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.
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 loans, other than government insured pool buyout loans, are generally placed on non-accrual status when they are 60 days past due. Additionally, certain residential loans not contractually delinquent but in forbearance may be placed on non-accrual status at management's discretion. 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 and residential real estate market dynamics 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 June 30, 2023, we used a combination of weighted third-party provided economic scenarios in calculating the quantitative portion of the ACL, and we used a single externally provided baseline scenario at December 31, 2022, with a downside scenario informing a qualitative overlay. Each of these externally provided scenarios in fact, represent the result of a probability weighting of thousands of individual scenario paths.

Factors contributing to the change in the ACL during the three months ended June 30, 2023 are depicted in the chart below (dollars in millions):
![Capture.jpg](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001504008/000150400823000029/bku-20230630_g16.jpg)
Changes in the ACL during the three months ended June 30, 2023
As depicted in the chart above, the primary drivers of the increase in the ACL from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023 were increases related to a less favorable baseline economic forecast coupled with heavier weighting of a downside economic forecast scenario and an increase in certain qualitative factors, partially offset by net charge-offs. There was a shift from the qualitative to the quantitative ACL related to the economic forecast during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as the quantitative modeling is now encompassing certain dynamics that were captured qualitatively at the prior quarter-end. The ACL as a percentage of loans increased to 0.68% at June 30, 2023, from 0.64% at March 31, 2023.
The ACL for the CRE portfolio sub-segment, including non-owner occupied CRE and construction and land, increased by $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 0.46% to 0.52% of loans. The increase in the ACL for this
55
segment was primarily driven by the economic forecast and changes in qualitative overlay related to the CRE office portfolio. At June 30, 2023, the ACL for the CRE office portfolio totaled $15.3 million, or 0.83% of loans.
The ACL for the commercial and industrial sub-segment, including owner-occupied commercial real estate, increased by $8.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 1.25% to 1.35% of loans. The increase in the ACL for this segment was primarily driven by the economic forecast, partially offset by net charge offs and decreases in specific reserves.
The ACL for the franchise finance portfolio segment decreased by $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 2.33% to 2.07% of loans. This decrease is primarily a result of net charge-offs during the quarter.
The ACL for the equipment finance portfolio segment increased by $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, from 0.83% to 1.16% of loans, resulting primarily from an increase in classified loans during the quarter.
The estimate of the ACL at June 30, 2023 was informed by forecasted economic scenarios published in June 2023, a wide variety of additional economic data, information about borrower financial condition and collateral values and other relevant information. The quantitative portion of the ACL at June 30, 2023 was modeled using a weighting of baseline, downside and upside third-party economic scenarios, with the highest weighting ascribed to the baseline scenario and the lowest weighting ascribed to the upside scenario. Some of the data points informing the reasonable and supportable economic forecast used in estimating the quantitative portion of the ACL at June 30, 2023 included:
•Labor market assumptions, which reflected national unemployment peaking at 4.29% in the baseline scenario and 7.9% in the downside scenarios;
•Annualized growth in GDP troughing at 0.6% in the baseline and (3.1)% in the downside scenario.
The above is provided to give a high level overview of the nature and severity of the economic forecast scenarios used in estimating the ACL. Numerous additional variables and assumptions not explicitly stated, including but not limited to detailed 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, most 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. Our largest industry segment at June 30, 2023 was the title insurance industry, with approximately $2.7 billion in total deposits; no other industry sectors exceeded $1.0 billion. Over 80% of title sector deposits were in operating accounts. Approximately 60% of our deposits were commercial or municipal deposits, with approximately 80% of commercial deposits considered relationship-based.

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 are secured by qualifying residential first mortgage and commercial real estate loans and MBS.

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, repurchase agreement capacity and a letter of credit with the FHLB provide additional sources of contingent liquidity. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 net cash provided by operating activities was $424 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. The decline in cash flows from operating activities is primarily related to fluctuations in the daily cash settlement of derivative positions centrally cleared through the CME, a lower volume of re-securitization of early buyout loans and fluctuations in the timing of income tax refunds/payments.
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.
Systemic events of March, 2023 impacted liquidity in the banking system, particularly for mid-size and regional banks, including BankUnited. Immediately following those events, management took a number of prudent actions to maximize BankUnited's same day available liquidity levels and enhance liquidity management. We activated our contingency funding plan, enhanced daily and intra-day monitoring and reporting, pledged additional securities and loan collateral to the FHLB and FRB, increased the amount of cash held on balance sheet and enhanced communications with funding sources, customers, counterparties and other stakeholders. While deposit flows and liquidity conditions appear to have substantially stabilized, we have kept in place enhanced monitoring and reporting of liquidity levels and deposit flows and have maintained higher levels of assets pledged at the FHLB and FRB.
At June 30, 2023, the Bank had total same day available liquidity of approximately $14.7 billion, consisting of cash of $301 million, borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $4.6 billion, borrowing capacity at the FRB of $8.9 billion and unencumbered securities of $871 million. At June 30, 2023, the ratio of estimated insured and collateralized deposits to total deposits was 66% and the ratio of available liquidity to estimated uninsured, uncollateralized deposits was 167%.
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. Management is currently in the process of re-evaluating all of
58
these measures to ascertain whether, in view of recent events, additional measures should be added or any of the existing measures should be refined in light of new data. Some of the primary measures used to dimension liquidity risk and manage liquidity are the ratio of available liquidity (excluding availability at the FRB) to volatile liabilities, a liquidity stress test coverage ratio, the ratio of same day available liquidity to uninsured and uncollateralized deposits, wholesale funding levels, and depositor concentrations. 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 measure of on-balance sheet available liquidity, the loan to deposits ratio 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 June 30, 2023, BankUnited’s available liquidity/volatile liabilities ratio was 147% and the liquidity stress test ratio was 193%. Due to the events impacting the banking industry in March and the resultant increase in FHLB advances, the wholesale funding ratio has remained elevated through June 30, 2023.
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.
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 June 30, 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.

We believe we are well positioned, from a capital perspective, to withstand an economic downturn. CET1 risk-based capital, including AOCI would be 9.7% at BankUnited, Inc. and 11.5% at BankUnited N.A. as of June 30, 2023. On an annual basis, we 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. The latest stress test incorporating the FRB's CCAR severely adverse scenario was performed during the three months ended June 30, 2023. In the CCAR severely adverse scenario, CET1 risk-based capital at the bank level troughs at 11.8%.

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, assuming that maturing instruments are replaced with like instruments at forward rates, of plus and minus 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis point shifts. We also model a variety of dynamic balance sheet scenarios, various yield curve slopes, and alternative depositor behavior assumptions. 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, based on the consensus forward curve, in static balance sheet, parallel rate shock scenarios of plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
Down 200 | Down 100 | Plus 100 | Plus 200 | ||||||||||||||||||||
Model Results at June 30, 2023 - increase (decrease): | 13 | % | 11 | % | (8) | % | (16) | % | |||||||||||||||
Model Results at December 31, 2022 - increase (decrease): | 4 | % | 4 | % | (5) | % | (11) | % |
Changes in modeled results at June 30, 2023 compared to results at December 31, 2022 reflect shifts in funding mix and updated assumptions about depositor behavior, impacting both beta and decay assumptions, following the events impacting the banking sector of March, 2023. Results are also impacted by the negative convexity of the residential mortgage portfolio and embedded caps in certain floating rate securities.
Management continually evaluates a variety of hedging strategies that are available to manage interest rate risk. 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 June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):
Weighted Average Pay Rate / Strike Price | Weighted Average Receive Rate / Strike Price | Weighted Average Remaining Life in Years | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Pay-fixed interest rate swaps | Variability of fair value of fixed rate loans | 100,000 | 1.94% | Daily SOFR | 1.1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
$ | 3,175,000 |
(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%.
(2) Pay fixed interest rate swaps indexed to LIBOR will fall back to daily SOFR at the next reset date during the third quarter of 2023.
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 June 30, 2023 was $699 million, The short duration of our investment portfolio (1.94 at June 30, 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
As discussed in the "LIBOR Transition" section in the MD&A of the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the FCA, which regulates USD LIBOR, discontinued the one-week and two-month LIBOR tenors effective December 31, 2021 and remaining tenors were discontinued effective June 30, 2023. The Company executed a comprehensive roadmap to amend the terms of LIBOR-based financial instruments, generally replacing LIBOR with SOFR as the preferred alternative reference rate. Remaining financial instruments indexed to LIBOR at June 30, 2023, are summarized in the table below (in thousands):
Amount | |||||
Investment securities | $ | 3,160,788 | |||
Loans | 1,160,570 | ||||
Interest rate derivative contracts(1) | 690,678 | ||||
$ | 5,012,036 |
These instruments will convert to an alternative reference rate, generally SOFR, based on their contractual provisions at the next scheduled interest rate reset 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):

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 June 30, 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 any adverse 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 5. Other Information
During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 16a-1(f)) of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
