Outlook 2019: • On track to earn at least $2.20 of core EPS in 2019 • Net Interest Income • Net Interest Margin: Expansion through 2019 to 2.80% by Q4 2019, with a full-year net interest margin above 2.70% • Deposits: Core deposit growth is expected to maintain the same pace in the second half of 2019 as the first half of 2019 • Loans: Average interest earning assets for 2019 are expected to be roughly equal to 2018 average interest earning assets. C&I loans, excluding loans to mortgage companies, are expected to grow approximately $500 million in 2019.

We currently have $1.9 billion in loans below 3.75% yield. During the second half of 2019, we plan to continue reducing these loans, focusing on the multi-family loan portfolio, by $1 billion or more • Core Non-Interest Income: 10% to 20% growth from 2018, excluding any securities gains/losses/impairment in either period • Core Non-Interest Expense: core efficiency ratio in the mid-60%s. Very modest expense growth in the Customers Banking Business Banking segment during 2019. Consolidated expenses in 2H19 are expected to be flat to down from 1H19 • Capital: Continued growth in retained earnings, providing flexibility to call preferred equity, as it becomes callable starting in 2020, and consider common stock buybacks from time to time • Effective Tax rate: 22% to 24% • BankMobile: Generate a positive earnings contribution by Q4 2019; deposits expected to grow materially during the second half of 2019 2020 and beyond: • Core EPS in 2020 of at least $3.00 • Core EPS within 3-4 years of $4.00 • Core ROAA of 1.25% in 2-3 years 12

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Unaudited Customers believes that the non-GAAP measurements disclosed within this document are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate our results of operations and financial condition relative to other financial institutions. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how Customers evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Customers' industry. These non- GAAP financial measures exclude from corresponding GAAP measures the impact of certain elements that we do not believe are representative of our financial results, which we believe enhance an overall understanding of our performance. Investors should consider our performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance or financial condition. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations or financial condition as reported under GAAP. The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures disclosed within this document. 15
