SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2011 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — January 26, 2012 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $35.6 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, compared to $37.6 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2011, and $17.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2010. Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for 2011 was $171.9 million, or $3.94 per diluted common share, compared to $95.0 million, or $2.24 per diluted common share, for 2010.

“In the fourth quarter we delivered substantial loan growth, solid core fee income, and exemplary credit quality,” said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. “This outstanding quarter was a fitting close to a year in which we grew earnings by 81 percent and delivered double-digit return on equity. Our results speak to the power of our business model and the resilience of our innovation-oriented client base, which has flourished despite broader economic weakness. In 2012, we believe our clients’ strong performance will continue to help us drive solid core earnings.”

Highlights of our fourth quarter 2011 results (compared to third quarter 2011, unless otherwise noted) included:

 

   

Continued strong growth in our lending business with average loan balances of $6.4 billion, an increase of $388.2 million (or 6.5 percent) from the third quarter of 2011. Period-end loan balances were $7.0 billion, an increase of $641.5 million from the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

Strong overall credit quality, as reflected by a decrease in our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans to 1.28 percent from 1.34 percent in the third quarter. Our provision for loan losses of $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to an increase in the allowance for the increase in period-end loan balances.

 

   

Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $140.6 million, an increase of $4.6 million from the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

Net gains on equity warrant assets of $14.1 million, compared to $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, reflective of the strength of merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity within the technology and innovation industry.

 

   

Gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $7.5 million, compared to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

An increase of $7.3 million in noninterest expense primarily to support continued growth in our business through increased headcount and ongoing initiatives.

Non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders for 2011 and 2010, excluding gains from the sale of certain available-for-sale securities (in the second quarter of 2011 and third quarter of 2010) and gains from the early extinguishment of debt and the termination of corresponding interest rate swaps (in the second quarter of 2011), was $147.5 million, or $3.38 per diluted common share, and $80.1 million, or $1.89 per diluted common share, respectively. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” provided at the end of this release.)

(1) To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP calculations to GAAP is provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
(2) Interest income on non-taxable investments is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0 percent. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $0.5 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, June 30, 2011, March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
(3) Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly and annual average assets.
(4) Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly and annual average SVBFG stockholders’ equity.
(5) Ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income.
(6) Book value per common share is calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders’ equity by total outstanding common shares.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $140.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $135.9 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $105.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The following table provides a summary of changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to both volume and rate from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011. Changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate (principally changes in the number of days from quarter to quarter) are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate:

The increase in net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011, was primarily attributable to the following:

 

   

An increase in interest income of $3.2 million from our loan portfolio, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $388.2 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the overall yield on our portfolio resulting from changes in loan composition, which is reflective of our ongoing strategy of growing our larger, later stage client portfolio that typically has lower credit risk.

 

   

An increase of $1.1 million in interest income from available-for-sale securities due the reinvestment of maturing lower-yielding securities into higher-yielding fixed rate securities. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest income from a decrease in average available-for-sale securities balances of $90.6 million.

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.10 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 3.13 percent for the third quarter of 2011 and 2.74 percent for the fourth quarter of 2010. The main factors affecting our net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2011 were lower overall yields on our loan portfolio resulting from changes in loan composition and growth in average deposit balances which were invested in overnight cash with the Federal Reserve earning interest at the federal funds target rate. These decreases in net interest margin were partially offset by an increase from growth in average loan balances as well as an increase in net interest margin from higher overall yields in our available-for-sale securities portfolio.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, 72.5 percent, or $4.8 billion, of our average outstanding gross loans were variable-rate loans that adjust at prescribed measurement dates upon a change in prime-lending rates or other variable indices. This compares to 71.5 percent, or $4.4 billion, for the third quarter of 2011 and 73.5 percent, or $3.9 billion, for the fourth quarter of 2010. For the fourth quarter of 2011, average variable-rate available-for-sale securities were $2.5 billion, or 26.2 percent of our available-for-sale securities portfolio, compared to $2.6 billion, or 27.4 percent in the third quarter of 2011. These securities have variable-rate coupons that are indexed to and change with movements in the one-month LIBOR rate.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio consists of both an available-for-sale securities portfolio, which represents interest-earning investment securities, and a non-marketable securities portfolio, which primarily represents investments managed as part of our funds management business.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Our available-for-sale securities portfolio is a fixed income investment portfolio that is managed to optimize portfolio yield over the long-term consistent with our liquidity, credit diversification and asset/liability strategies.

Average available-for-sale securities decreased by $90.6 million to $9.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $9.6 billion for the third quarter of 2011 and $6.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010. Period-end available-for-sale securities were $10.5 billion at December 31, 2011, $9.6 billion at September 30, 2011, and $7.9 billion at December 31, 2010. During the fourth quarter of 2011 we purchased $2.1 billion in new investments (primarily in December), which was partially offset by paydowns of $1.2 billion.

Non-Marketable Securities

Our non-marketable securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital funds, venture debt funds and private portfolio companies.

Non-marketable securities were $1.0 billion ($357.0 million net of noncontrolling interests) as of December 31, 2011, compared to $952.0 million ($346.4 million net of noncontrolling interests) as of September 30, 2011 and $721.5 million ($298.1 million net of noncontrolling interests) as of December 31, 2010. The increase from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily attributable to additional capital calls for fund investments in the fourth quarter of 2011. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP non-marketable securities, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Loans

Average loans, net of unearned income, were $6.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $6.0 billion for the third quarter of 2011 and $5.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010. Period-end loans, net of unearned income, were $7.0 billion at December 31, 2011, compared to $6.3 billion at September 30, 2011 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase in average and period-end loan balances from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 came from all of our client industry segments.

Loans (individually or in the aggregate) to any single client, equal to or greater than $20 million totaled $2.2 billion, $1.8 billion, and $1.3 billion at December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively, which represents 31.2 percent, 28.2 percent, and 23.0 percent of total gross loans, respectively. Further details are provided at the end of this release under the section “Loan Concentration”.

We had a provision for loan losses of $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to a provision of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. The provision of $8.2 million was primarily due to an increase in the allowance for the increase in period-end loans. Gross loan charge-offs of $7.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 were primarily from our software portfolio. Loan recoveries of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 were primarily from our life science and software portfolios.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans decreased from 1.34 percent at September 30, 2011 to 1.28 percent at December 31, 2011, primarily due to a reduction in the reserve for our nonperforming loans. Our allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans was 1.23 percent at December 31, 2011, compared to 1.25 percent at September 30, 2011.

Our nonperforming loans totaled $36.6 million at December 31, 2011, compared to $40.5 million at September 30, 2011 and $39.5 million at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans was $3.7 million, $6.0 million and $6.9 million at December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease of $2.3 million from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to the effect of decreased risk related to our nonperforming loans.

Deposits

Average deposits were $16.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $15.8 billion for the third quarter of 2011 and $13.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010. Period-end deposits were $16.7 billion at December 31, 2011, compared to $16.1 billion at September 30, 2011 and $14.3 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase in average deposits from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 came primarily from an increase in our noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which increased by $951.5 million to $11.6 billion, partially offset by a decrease of $243.5 million in our interest-bearing deposits. The overall increase in our deposit balances was primarily due to growth from new clients and the continued lack of attractive market investment opportunities for our deposit clients.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $73.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $95.6 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $71.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests was $62.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $54.4 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $52.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Reconciliation of our non-GAAP noninterest income and non- GAAP net gains on investment securities, both of which exclude amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, is provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

5


The decrease of $22.5 million in noninterest income from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily driven by lower gains on investment securities, partially offset by higher gains from equity warrant assets. Items impacting the change in noninterest income from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 were as follows:

 

   

Net gains on investment securities of $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $52.3 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net of noncontrolling interests, net gains on investment securities were $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2011. The net gains, net of noncontrolling interests, of $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 were primarily due to the following:

 

   

Gains of $4.1 million from the sale of private company shares, which were originally acquired through the exercise of equity warrant assets.

 

   

Gains of $3.2 million from our investments in debt funds due primarily to valuation gains.

As of December 31, 2011, we held investments, either directly or through twelve of our managed investment funds, in 456 funds (that were primarily venture capital funds), 97 companies and five debt funds.

The following tables provide a summary of net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively:

The key changes in factors affecting net gains on derivative instruments from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 were as follows:

 

   

Net gains on equity warrant assets of $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. The net gains on equity warrant assets for the fourth quarter of 2011 reflect the strength of M&A activity within the technology and innovation industry. These gains were driven by gains of $8.3 million from valuation increases in our equity warrant assets and gains of $5.9 million from the exercise of equity warrant assets.

 

   

Net gains of $1.4 million on internal foreign exchange forward contracts for our foreign currency denominated loans in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net gains of $3.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. The net gains on internal foreign exchange forward contracts in the fourth quarter of 2011 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and were partially offset by net losses of $1.3 million from the revaluation of foreign currency denominated loans that are included in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income (as discussed below).

 

   

An increase in other noninterest income of $3.7 million, primarily due to the following:

 

   

Net losses of $1.3 million from the revaluation of our foreign currency denominated loans for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to net losses of $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. The net losses of $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro, and were partially offset by net gains of $1.4 million from our internal forward exchange forward contracts that are included in the line item “Gains on derivative instruments, net” as part of noninterest income (as discussed above).

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $134.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $127.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $115.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The key factors contributing to the increase of $7.2 million in noninterest expense from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 were as follows:

 

   

An increase of $3.5 million in compensation and benefits expense. The following table provides a summary of our compensation and benefits expense:

(1) Other employee benefits expense includes employer payroll taxes, group health and life insurance, share-based compensation, 401(k), warrant and retention plans, agency fees and other employee related expenses.

The key changes in factors affecting compensation and benefits expense from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 were as follows:

 

   

An increase of $1.6 million in salaries and wages expense, primarily due to an increase in the number of average full-time equivalent employees (“FTE”), which increased by 44 to 1,522 FTEs for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to 1,478 FTEs for the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

An increase of $1.5 million in incentive compensation and employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) expenses, primarily reflective of our expected payout of incentive compensation based on our full year results.

 

7


   

An increase of $1.7 million in professional services expense, primarily to support continued growth in our business through ongoing initiatives.

 

   

An increase of $1.5 million in premises and equipment expense, primarily due to increased depreciation expense on software to maintain and enhance our IT infrastructure.

Non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests, was $132.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $124.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $112.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided below under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax expense rate was 42.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to 41.6 percent for the third quarter of 2011 and 38.6 percent for the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase in the tax rate was primarily attributable to the lower effect of low income housing investment credits and foreign tax credits on our overall pre-tax income.

Our effective tax rate was 40.9 percent for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 39.3 percent for 2010. The increase in the tax rate from 2010 to 2011 was primarily attributable to the effect of higher taxes on foreign operations on our overall pre-tax income.

Our effective tax expense rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense by the sum of income before income tax expense and the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Noncontrolling Interests

Included in net income is income and expense related to noncontrolling interests. The relevant amounts allocated to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” on our statements of income. The following table provides a summary of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests:

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $38.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $16.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily a result of the following:

 

   

Net gains on investment securities (including carried interest) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $12.3 million, primarily from gains of $11.1 million from our managed funds of funds.

 

   

Noninterest expense of $2.7 million, primarily related to management fees paid by the noncontrolling interests to our subsidiaries that serve as general partner.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

Total SVBFG stockholders’ equity increased by $33.3 million to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2011, primarily due

 

8


to net income of $35.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $11.8 million primarily from stock option exercises during the fourth quarter of 2011. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $14.1 million, primarily due to decreases in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio as a result of increases in market interest rates.

Period-end total client investment funds were $18.7 billion at both December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, compared to $16.9 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase in average total client investment funds from the third quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 was primarily due to a steadily improving funding environment for both private and public clients, as well as our increased efforts to guide clients towards products that are more appropriate for them, resulting in a shift of deposits off the balance sheet.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures (non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP EPS, non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, non-GAAP non-marketable securities, non-GAAP noninterest expense, and non-GAAP financial ratios) of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.

 

18


We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by: (i) excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests which we effectively do not receive the economic benefit or cost of, where indicated, or (ii) providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirement. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the financial tables below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.

In particular, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP measures that exclude the following from net income and certain other financial line items in certain periods:

 

   

Income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests— As part of our funds management business, we recognize the entire income or loss from certain funds where we own less than 100 percent. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100 percent of the results of the funds that we are deemed to control or in which we have a majority ownership. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.” Our net income available to common stockholders includes only the portion of income or loss related to our ownership interest.

 

   

Gains of $37.3 million, $23.6 million and $1.1 million from the sales of certain available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2011, the third quarter of 2010 and the second quarter of 2010, respectively.

 

   

Net gains of $3.1 million from the repurchase of $108.6 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.70% Senior Notes and $204.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.05% Subordinated Notes and the termination of the associated portions of interest rate swaps in the second quarter of 2011.

In addition, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP financial ratios that are not required by GAAP or exclude certain financial items from their calculations that are otherwise required under GAAP, including:

 

   

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio— These ratios are not required by GAAP or applicable bank regulatory requirements, and are used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. Our ratios are calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders’ equity, by total assets or total risk-weighted assets, as applicable, after reducing amounts by acquired intangibles. The manner in which this ratio is calculated varies among companies. Accordingly, our ratios are not necessarily comparable to similar measures of other companies.

 

   

Non-GAAP return on average assets ratio; Non-GAAP return on average SVBFG stockholders’ equity ratio— These ratios exclude certain financial items that are otherwise required under GAAP. Our ratios are calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income available to common stockholders (annualized) by average assets or average SVBFG stockholders’ equity, as applicable.

 

   

Non-GAAP operating efficiency ratio— This ratio excludes certain financial items that are otherwise required under GAAP. It is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total taxable equivalent income, after reducing both amounts by taxable equivalent income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests and the gains noted above for applicable periods.
