Financial Performance

Robert Sarver, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Western Alliance Bancorporation, commented, “We are very pleased with our 2011 results as we substantially increased loans to small businesses, produced consistent quarterly net income while growing net interest margin and improving our efficiency ratio. Asset quality improved throughout the year as nonaccrual, watch, and classified loans all declined from the prior year. I am proud of the people at Western Alliance Bancorporation and the leadership they demonstrated in accomplishing these results.” Mr. Sarver also noted, “Fourth quarter results will position the Company for success in 2012 by riding the momentum of higher loan growth, along with a stable net interest margin, expense management, and continued improvement in asset quality.”

Ken Vecchione, President and Chief Operating Officer, added, “As the economy continues to recover, Western Alliance Bancorporation stands ready to support the businesses and communities we serve by providing continued access to credit. Our capital strength and commitment to serve our customers leads us to be optimistic regarding our loan and deposit pipelines in 2012.” Mr. Vecchione further added, “Our disciplined approach to pricing both loans and deposits, and the management of our investment portfolio produced a fourth quarter net interest margin of 4.51 percent and full year net interest margin of 4.37 percent. Higher net interest income and contained expenses supported our record $31.5 million pre-tax, pre-credit income.1 Our core earnings momentum and favorable trends in asset quality, position us for increased operating net income in future quarters.”

Western Alliance Bancorporation reported net income of $7.1 million, or $0.7 per share in the fourth quarter 2011.

(1) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(2) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(3) We believe this non-GAAP ratio improves the comparability to other institutions that have not engaged in acquisitions that resulted in recorded goodwill and other intangibles.

(4) We believe this non-GAAP measurement is better indicative of the cash generating capacity of the Company.

(5) We believe this non-GAAP measurement is a key indicator of the earnings power of the Company which is otherwise obscured by the asset quality issues.

(6) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides understanding of the operating efficiency of the Company.

(7) Under the guidelines of the Federal Reserve and the FDIC in effect at December 31, 2011, Tier 1 capital consisted of common stock, retained earnings, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, trust preferred securities up to a certain limit, and minority interests in certain subsidiaries, less most other intangible assets.

(8) Tier 1 common equity is often expressed as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Under the risk-based capital framework, a bank's balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of off-balance sheet items, are assigned to one of four broad risk categories. The aggregated dollar amount in each category is then multiplied by the risk weighting assigned to that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the four categories are added together and this sum is the risk-weighted assets total that, as adjusted, comprises the denominator (risk-weighted assets) to determine the Tier 1 capital ratio. Adjustments are made to Tier 1 capital to arrive at Tier 1 common equity. Tier 1 common equity is also divided by the risk-weighted assets to determine the Tier 1 common equity ratio. We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a critical metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.

(9) We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a critical regulatory metric in which to analyze asset quality.
