CEO COMMENTARY:

Western Alliance's national commercial business strategy continued to deliver accelerating balance sheet growth, surpassing the $60 billion asset milestone, and strong financial performance results to kick off 2022,” said Kenneth A. Vecchione, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Balance sheet growth continued with loans up $2.0 billion (or 43.2% year-over-year), and deposits up $4.5 billion (or 35.9% year-over-year), bringing total assets to $60.6 billion at quarter end, driving a 52.1% year-over-year increase in PPNR to $307.2 million. Net income of $240.1 million, earnings per share of $2.22 and return on tangible common equity of 23.9% for the first quarter 2022 mirrors the Company’s strong fourth quarter performance, while tangible book value per share fell 1.9% quarterly to $37.13 due to a decline in AOCI from fair value losses on investment securities. Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.17% and negligible net charge-offs for the quarter."

Income Statement

Net interest income was $449.5 million in the first quarter 2022, a decrease of $1.1 million from $450.6 million in the fourth quarter 2021, and an increase of $132.2 million, or 41.7%, compared to the first quarter 2021. The decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter 2021 is due to two fewer days in the quarter, a lower HFS loan balance and interest expense on debt issued in December 2021, partially offset by higher yields on investment securities and HFI loan growth. HFI loan growth and interest income from HFS loans drove the increase in net interest income from the first quarter 2021.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses totaling $9.0 million in the first quarter 2022, a decrease of $4.2 million from $13.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021, compared to a provision release of $32.4 million in the first quarter 2021. The provision for credit losses during the first quarter 2022 is primarily due to loan growth.

The Company’s net interest margin in the first quarter 2022 was 3.32%, a decrease from 3.33% in the fourth quarter 2021, and a decrease from 3.37% in the first quarter 2021. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior quarter is largely a result of increased rates on borrowings, a greater portion of earnings assets held in cash, and lower yields on certain HFI loan types, partially offset by higher yields on investment securities and HFS loans. The decrease in net interest margin from the first quarter 2021 was driven by lower yields on all HFI loan types, except CRE owner occupied loans, and higher interest expense due to debt issued in 2021 and AmeriHome senior notes, partially offset by higher yields on investment securities.

Non-interest income was $106.3 million for the first quarter 2022, compared to $110.4 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and $19.7 million for the first quarter 2021. The $4.1 million decrease in non-interest income from the fourth quarter 2021 was primarily the result of a decrease in net gain on loan origination and sale activities of $36.3 million from lower production volume, which was offset entirely by an increase in loan servicing revenue of $38.8 million as rising interest rates and falling prepayment speeds benefit MSR valuations and servicing income. Also contributing to the decrease in non-interest income from the fourth quarter 2021 was a larger loss on fair value adjustments on assets measured at fair value of $5.8 million, which was offset by a net gain on sales of investment securities of $6.9 million for the first quarter 2022 (a decrease of $1.4 million from the prior quarter). Changes from the fourth quarter 2021 for all other non-interest income items, including gain on recovery from credit guarantees, income from equity investments, and other, net to an increase of $0.6 million. The increase in non-interest income from the first quarter 2021 is primarily the result of mortgage banking related income.

Net revenue was $555.8 million for the first quarter 2022, a decrease of $5.2 million, or (0.9)%, compared to $561.0 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and an increase of $218.8 million, or 64.9%, compared to $337.0 million for the first quarter 2021. 

Non-interest expense was $248.6 million for the first quarter 2022, compared to $237.8 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and $135.0 million for the first quarter 2021. The Company’s efficiency ratio1 was 44.1% for the first quarter 2022, compared to 41.8% in the fourth quarter 2021, and 39.1% for the first quarter 2021. Non-interest expense increased from the fourth quarter 2021 due to increased compensation costs. The increase in non-interest expense from the first quarter 2021 is attributable to growth from the AmeriHome acquisition, which increased compensation costs and also introduced additional non-interest expense items, such as loan servicing and loan acquisition and origination expenses.

Income tax expense was $58.1 million for the first quarter 2022, compared to $64.0 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and $41.9 million for the first quarter 2021.

Net income was $240.1 million for the first quarter 2022, a decrease of $5.9 million from $246.0 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and an increase of $47.6 million from $192.5 million for the first quarter 2021. Earnings per share was $2.22 for the first quarter 2022, compared to $2.32 for the fourth quarter 2021, and $1.90 for the first quarter 2021. The increase in net income and earnings per share for the first quarter 2022 compared to the same quarter last year was due to HFI loan growth and new mortgage banking activity related to the AmeriHome acquisition.

The Company views its pre-provision net revenue1 ("PPNR") as a key metric for assessing the Company’s earnings power, which it defines as net revenue less non-interest expense. For the first quarter 2022, the Company’s PPNR1 was $307.2 million, down $16.0 million from $323.2 million in the fourth quarter 2021, and up $105.2 million from $202.0 million in the first quarter 2021. The decrease in PPNR1 from the fourth quarter 2021 was driven by increased compensation costs. The increase in PPNR1 from the first quarter 2021 was driven by HFI loan growth and the AmeriHome acquisition completed on April 7, 2021.

The Company had 3,170 full-time equivalent employees and 60 offices at March 31, 2022, compared to 3,139 employees and 58 offices at December 31, 2021, and 1,947 employees and 49 offices at March 31, 2021. The increase in employees from March 31, 2021 primarily relates to the addition of AmeriHome employees.

Balance Sheet

HFI loans, net of deferred fees totaled $41.1 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $2.0 billion from $39.1 billion at December 31, 2021, and $12.4 billion from $28.7 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase in HFI loans from the prior quarter was driven by a $2.0 billion increase in residential real estate as well as loan growth of $323 million in CRE non-owner occupied, and $255 million in construction and land development loans, which were partially offset by decreases in commercial and industrial loans of $436 million and CRE owner occupied loans of $93 million. From March 31, 2021, loan growth was primarily driven by residential real estate, commercial and industrial, and CRE non-owner occupied loans which increased $8.2 billion, $2.8 billion, and $1.2 billion, respectively. Construction and land development loans also increased $510 million, partially offset by a decrease in CRE owner occupied loans of $247 million from March 31, 2021.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on HFI loans consists of an allowance for funded HFI loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. At March 31, 2022, the allowance for loan losses to funded HFI loans was 0.63%, compared to 0.65% at December 31, 2021, and 0.86% at March 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded HFI loans was 0.73% at March 31, 2022, compared to 0.74% at December 31, 2021, and 0.97% at March 31, 2021. In 2021, the Company entered into two separate credit linked note transactions, which effectively transfers the risk of loan losses on a reference pool of loans to the purchasers of the notes. However, as these note transactions are considered to be free standing credit enhancements, the allowance for credit losses cannot be reduced by the expected credit losses that may be mitigated by these notes. Accordingly, the allowance for loan and credit losses ratios as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include an allowance of $9.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively, related to this pool of loans. The allowance for credit losses to funded HFI loans, adjusted to take into consideration the transfer of risk associated with the credit linked note transactions, was 0.84% at March 31, 2022 and 0.89% at December 31, 2021.

Deposits totaled $52.2 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $4.5 billion from $47.6 billion at December 31, 2021, and an increase of $13.8 billion from $38.4 billion at March 31, 2021. By deposit type, the increase from the prior quarter is primarily attributable to an increase of $2.2 billion from non-interest bearing demand deposits, $1.3 billion from interest bearing demand deposits, and $1.3 billion from savings and money market accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $238 million from certificates of deposits. From March 31, 2021, deposits increased across all deposit types, with the largest increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $6.0 billion, interest-bearing demand deposits of $4.4 billion, and savings and money market accounts of $3.3 billion. Non-interest bearing deposits were $23.5 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $21.4 billion at December 31, 2021, and $17.5 billion at March 31, 2021.

The table below shows the Company's deposit types as a percentage of total deposits:

	Mar 31, 2022		Dec 31, 2021		Mar 31, 2021
Non-interest bearing	45.1	%	44.9	%	45.7	%
Savings and money market	35.6		36.3		39.8
Interest-bearing demand	15.8		14.5		10.1
Certificates of deposit	3.5		4.3		4.4

The Company’s ratio of HFI loans to deposits was 78.8% at March 31, 2022, compared to 82.1% at December 31, 2021, and 74.8% at March 31, 2021.

Borrowings were $815 million at March 31, 2022, $1.5 billion at December 31, 2021, and $5 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease in borrowings from December 31, 2021 is due primarily to a decrease in overnight borrowings of $675 million. The increase in borrowings from March 31, 2021 is due primarily to the assumption of borrowings related to the acquisition of AmeriHome and the issuance of $470 million in credit linked notes during 2021.

Qualifying debt totaled $893 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $896 million at December 31, 2021, and $544 million at March 31, 2021. The increase in qualifying debt from March 31, 2021 is primarily related to the issuance of $600 million in subordinated debt in June 2021, partially offset by $250 million in subordinated debt redemptions during 2021.

Stockholders’ equity was $5.0 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $5.0 billion at December 31, 2021, and $3.7 billion at March 31, 2021. Stockholders' equity remained consistent quarter over quarter as net income and net proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock under its ATM program were offset by dividends to shareholders and fair value losses of approximately $250 million on the Company's fixed rate available for sale securities, which are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax. During the quarter, the Company sold 1.3 million shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $86.78 per share, with aggregate net proceeds totaling $107.7 million. A cash dividend of $0.35 per share was paid to common shareholders on March 4, 2022, totaling $37.3 million, and a cash dividend of $0.27 per depository share was paid to preferred shareholders on March 30, 2022, totaling $3.2 million. The increase in stockholders' equity from March 31, 2021 is primarily a function of net income, issuance of preferred stock, and sales of common stock under the Company's ATM program, partially offset by dividends to shareholders and losses on available for sale securities.

At March 31, 2022, tangible common equity, net of tax1, was 6.7% of tangible assets1 and total capital was 12.0% of risk-weighted assets. The Company’s tangible book value per share1 was $37.13 at March 31, 2022, up 12.4% from March 31, 2021.

Total assets increased 8.2% to $60.6 billion at March 31, 2022, from $56.0 billion at December 31, 2021, and increased 39.6% from $43.4 billion at March 31, 2021. The increase in total assets from December 31, 2021 was driven by continued organic loan and deposit growth. The increase in total assets from March 31, 2021 was also driven by continued organic loan and deposit growth along with the acquisition of net assets in the AmeriHome acquisition.

Asset Quality

Provision for credit losses totaled $9.0 million for the first quarter 2022, compared $13.2 million for the fourth quarter 2021, and a recovery of credit losses of $32.4 million for the first quarter 2021. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter 2022 were $0.2 million, or approximately 0.00% of average loans (annualized), compared to $1.4 million, or 0.02%, in the fourth quarter 2021, and $1.4 million, or 0.02%, in the first quarter 2021.

Nonaccrual loans increased $18.4 million to $91.0 million during the quarter and decreased $22.6 million from March 31, 2021. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest were zero at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021. Loans past due 30-89 days and still accruing interest totaled $57.6 million at March 31, 2022, an increase from $52.5 million at December 31, 2021, and an increase from $7.3 million at March 31, 2021.

Repossessed assets totaled $11.7 million at March 31, 2022, flat from December 31, 2021, and an increase of $7.5 million from $4.2 million at March 31, 2021. Classified assets totaled $365.1 million at March 31, 2022, an increase of $64.4 million from $300.7 million at December 31, 2021, and $84.3 million from $280.9 million at March 31, 2021.

The ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses, a common regulatory measure of asset quality, was 7.4% at March 31, 2022, compared to 6.4% at December 31, 2021, and 7.5% at March 31, 2021.
