CEO COMMENTARY
 
Harris H. Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Zions Bancorporation, commented, “In what has become a challenging environment, we are nevertheless pleased with many elements of the first quarter’s financial performance, including well-controlled operating expenses, which decreased 5% from last year; a net interest margin that remained relatively resilient when compared to the prior quarter; and very modest realized loan losses. As economic conditions deteriorated in mid-March as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we adapted rapidly. We materially strengthened our allowance for credit losses, established payment deferral arrangements for adversely affected clients and rapidly developed an automated capability to deliver government guaranteed Paycheck Protection Program loans to thousands of small businesses and non-profit organizations. Looking forward, we confront the uncertain current economic environment with a strong capital and reserve position, a robust liquidity profile and a loan portfolio that has been substantially “de-risked” in recent years, and that largely tends to have collateral as a secondary source of repayment - a characteristic that has historically resulted in lower loss rates per dollar of troubled loans.”

1 Rates are calculated using amounts in thousands and taxable-equivalent rates used where applicable.
Net interest income decreased $28 million to $548 million in the first quarter of 2020 from $576 million in the first quarter of 2019. Total interest income decreased $53 million due to a $38 million decrease in interest and fees on loans and a $14 million decrease in interest on securities, primarily resulting from lower yields on loans and securities, and a $1.22 billion decline in the average securities balance. Interest expense decreased $25 million primarily due to a $19 million decline in interest on short and long-term borrowings resulting from lower rates paid and a $3.0 billion increase in the average balance of total deposits.
The yield on interest earning assets was 3.87%, a decrease of 13 basis points compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, and a decrease of 44 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2019. The yield on loans decreased 14 basis points relative to the fourth quarter of 2019 and 51 basis points from the year ago period, primarily due to a decline in interest rates across all loan products. Interest income recoveries did not materially impact this quarter or the prior periods presented. While the yield on securities increased 1 basis point relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, it decreased 23 basis points from the year ago period primarily from lower yields on variable rate securities.
The annualized cost of total deposits for the first quarter of 2020 was 0.36%, compared with 0.44% for the fourth quarter of 2019, and 0.43% for the first quarter of 2019. The rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.48% for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease from 0.57% for the fourth quarter of 2019, and from 0.67% for the first quarter of 2019. The decline in the rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was due to lower

interest rates, deposit growth and less reliance on short-term borrowings when compared with the first quarter of 2019.
The net interest margin decreased to 3.41% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 3.46% in the fourth quarter of 2019, and 3.68% in the same prior year period. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2019 was due to lower loan yields, partially offset by a lower rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities. The decrease from the same prior year period was primarily due to lower loan and securities yields partially offset by a lower rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities and an improved funding mix.

Total noninterest income for the first quarter of 2020 increased by $2 million, or 2%, to $134 million from $132 million for the first quarter of 2019. Customer-related fees increased $21 million, or 17%, primarily due to a $10 million increase in loan-related fees and income as a result of increased mortgage originations and sales, and a $7 million increase in capital markets and foreign exchange fees resulting largely from customer interest rate swaps fees. Wealth management and trust fees increased by $2 million primarily from increased corporate and personal trust income. Fees from customer card usage declined from the prior year period, attributable in part to reduced economic activity in March 2020.
Dividends and other income decreased $12 million from the prior year, to a negative $3 million. In the first quarter of 2020, the Bank recognized an $11 million negative credit valuation adjustment on client-related interest rate swaps, compared with a $3 million negative credit valuation adjustment in the prior year period. This change reflects the decline in interest rates during the past year and increased client activity, which significantly increased the value of, and the Bank’s credit exposure to, the client-related interest rate swaps. Securities losses of $6 million in the first quarter of 2020 were a result of decreases in the fair value of the Bank’s Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) investments.

For information on non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 18-20.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $408 million, a decrease of $22 million, or 5%, when compared with $430 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of a $13 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a $6 million decrease in other noninterest expense. The decrease from the first quarter of 2019 in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to a $7 million decrease in incentive compensation and a $3 million decrease in the expected profit-sharing contribution to the employee 401(k) plan. Other noninterest expense declined as a result of decreased travel and entertainment, donations, and other miscellaneous expenses. Both credit-related expense and advertising expense decreased by $2 million.
Our efficiency ratio was 57.7% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 61.3% in the fourth quarter of 2019, and 60.2% in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 decreased $24 million, or 6%, to $407 million, compared with $431 million for the same prior year period. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, including differences between noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense, see pages 18-20.

Classified loans and nonperforming assets increased 21%, and 17%, respectively, from the first quarter of 2019. The ratio of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more to loans and leases was 0.56%, compared with 0.51% in the first quarter of 2019.
The Bank recorded a $258 million provision for credit losses during the first quarter of 2020, compared with $4 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, and $4 million for the first quarter of 2019. The allowance for credit losses was $777 million at March 31, 2020, compared with $556 million at March 31, 2019. The increase in the allowance for credit losses is primarily due to the anticipated economic downturn related to the effects of COVID-19.

Loans and leases, net of unearned income and fees, increased $2.3 billion, or 5%, to $49.9 billion at March 31, 2020 from $47.6 billion at March 31, 2019. Within commercial loans, commercial and industrial loans increased $775 million, municipal loans increased $709 million, and owner-occupied loans increased $291 million. Term commercial real estate loans increased $297 million. The growth in consumer loans was primarily due to a $273 million increase in 1-4 family residential loans. Unfunded lending commitments and letters of credit increased $0.3 billion, or 1.3%, to $22.7 billion at March 31, 2020, from $22.4 billion at March 31, 2019.

1Because many borrowers operate in multiple businesses, judgment has been applied in characterizing a borrower as oil and
gas-related, including a particular segment of oil and gas-related activity, e.g., upstream or midstream; typically, 50% of
revenues coming from the oil and gas sector is used as a guide.
2Calculated as the ratio of annualized net charge-offs for each respective period to loan balances at each period end.
At March 31, 2020, oil and gas-related loans represented 5% of the total loan portfolio, compared with 8% at December 31, 2014, or the beginning of the last energy cycle. Due to active risk management of the portfolio, the mix of oil and gas-related loans at March 31, 2020 consists of 40% upstream, 34% midstream, 18% oil and gas-related services, and 8% downstream, compared with 36%, 19%, 42%, and 3%, respectively, at December 31, 2014. We use disciplined underwriting practices to mitigate the risk associated with upstream lending activities. Upstream loans are made to reserve-based borrowers where approximately 85% of those loans are collateralized by the value of the borrower’s oil and gas reserves. For the first quarter of 2020, the classified oil and gas-related loan ratio was 3.4%, oil and gas-related loan net charge-offs were $1 million, and the allowance for credit losses related to oil and gas-related loans exceeded 5%.

Total deposits increased by $3.0 billion, or 5%, to $57.5 billion as of March 31, 2020, primarily due to a $2.6 billion increase in savings and money market deposits. Average total deposits increased to $56.9 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $53.9 billion for the first quarter of 2019. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased 2% to $23.6 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $23.2 billion for the first quarter of 2019, and were 41% and 43% of average total deposits, respectively, for the same periods.
Total borrowed funds decreased $0.6 billion, or 10%, to $5.6 billion as of March 31, 2020. Average borrowed funds decreased to $4.7 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $6.2 billion for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in both end-of-period and average borrowed funds reflects deposit growth in excess of earning asset growth over this period.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Bank’s common stock dividend was $0.34 per share, compared with $0.30 per share in the first quarter of 2019. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank had 29.2 million ZIONW warrants outstanding with a strike price of $33.67 per share that expire on May 22, 2020. Accumulated other comprehensive income improved $381 million, from a negative $122 million as of March 31, 2019, to $259 million as of March 31, 2020. The

improvement was primarily a result of increases in the fair value of available-for-sale securities due to changes in interest rates.
Tangible book value per common share increased to $35.96 at March 31, 2020, compared with $32.92 at March 31, 2019. Basel III common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital was $5.6 billion at March 31, 2020 and $6.1 billion at March 31, 2019. The estimated Basel III CET1 capital ratio was 10.0% at March 31, 2020 compared with 11.3% at March 31, 2019. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 18-20.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and its subsequent updates, often referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard. The OCC, Federal Reserve and FDIC issued a joint statement on March 27, 2020, revised on April 7, 2020, with proposed guidance for banking institutions that have adopted CECL in 2020. We have adopted the provisions of this interim final rule, which allows banks to add back, for regulatory capital purposes only, a transition adjustment related to CECL beginning with the first quarter 2020 financial statements. The adoption of these provisions improved our CET1 capital ratio by 8 basis points.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)
This press release presents non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to provide investors with additional information. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. The Bank considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance and financial position of the Bank and for presentations of Bank performance to investors. The Bank further believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as that applied by management.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, and are not required to be uniformly applied by individual entities. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
The following are non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and a discussion of the reasons for which management uses these non-GAAP measures:
Tangible Book Value per Common Share – this schedule also includes “tangible common equity.” Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes provides additional useful information about the level of tangible equity in relation to outstanding shares of common stock. Management believes the use of ratios that utilize tangible equity provides additional useful information to management and others about capital adequacy because they present measures of those assets that can generate income.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations
(Unaudited)
Efficiency Ratio – this schedule also includes “adjusted noninterest expense,” “taxable-equivalent net interest income,” “adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue (PPNR)” and “adjusted PPNR.” The methodology of determining the efficiency ratio may differ among companies. Management makes adjustments to exclude certain items as identified in the subsequent schedule which it believes allows for more consistent comparability among periods. Management believes the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how well the Bank is managing its expenses, and adjusted PPNR enables management and others to assess the Bank’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
