CEO Commentary
“We are pleased to share our first quarter results that highlight the company’s continuing incredible deposit transformation and underscore our success in growing franchise value. Though there is currently a high degree of economic uncertainty and volatility in the macro environment, we believe that Customers’ differentiated business model positions us well to navigate these challenges while we remain flexible and responsive to changes in the external environment. And importantly, with our customer-centric mindset and commitment to service provided by our extraordinary colleagues, we are here to serve our clients as the business environment continues to evolve,” said Customers Bancorp Chairman and CEO Jay Sidhu.
“In the first quarter, we once again demonstrated the power of our deposit remix efforts. The impact can be seen in a 24 basis points lower average cost of interest bearing deposits in Q1 2025 compared to last quarter as we continue to improve the quality of our deposit franchise. Non-interest bearing deposits remained at a healthy level of 29.3% of total deposits. As a result of these efforts we had a 25 basis point reduction in our total cost of deposits during the quarter.
“Our deposit pipelines continue to expand with a significant conversion ratio. In addition, deposit focused teams we have recruited since March 2023 managed $2.1 billion or 11% of total deposits. Enhanced by their efforts, we’ve increased commercial deposit accounts by 53% since year end 2022, adding granular and sticky relationships while significantly lowering our cost of deposits, increasing our non-interest bearing deposits, and driving franchise value. We believe the company is extremely well-positioned to continue to strengthen our deposit franchise, improve our profitability, and maintain our already strong capital ratios,” stated Jay Sidhu.
“Our Q1 2025 GAAP earnings were $9.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, and core earnings* were $50.0 million, or $1.54 per diluted share. First quarter GAAP results include an impact in connection with a balance sheet optimization through a securities portfolio repositioning that the Bank decided to undertake as of March 31, 2025 designed to enhance structural liquidity, extend duration and benefit margin while reducing the credit sensitive portion of the portfolio given the volatile and uncertain macroeconomic environment. Even with the impact of the balance sheet optimization transaction and balance sheet growth we experienced during the quarter, our TCE / TA ratio* increased by 9 basis points. We maintain a strong liquidity position, with $8.7 billion of liquidity immediately available, which covers approximately 155% of uninsured deposits1 and our loan to deposit ratio was 80%, at March 31, 2025. We continue to focus on loan production where we have a holistic and primary relationship. Total loans and leases held for investment grew by $611.7 million driven by strong commercial loan growth of $460.3 million led by growth in our existing specialized lending verticals. Asset quality remains strong with our NPA ratio at just 0.26% of total assets and reserve levels are robust at 324% of total non-performing loans at the end of Q1 2025. Our exposure to the higher risk commercial real estate office sector is minimal, representing approximately 1% of the loan portfolio. We will remain disciplined, but opportunistic, with our balance sheet capacity to manage risk and maintain robust capital levels. Tangible Book Value per share* grew to $54.74. We believe that our unique strategy and the investments we have and are making, along with the exceptional talent in our organization, will position us for success in 2025 and beyond,” Jay Sidhu continued.

Risk ratings are assigned to loans and leases held for investment, and excludes loans held for sale, loans receivable, mortgage finance, at fair value, loans held for sale, loans receivable, installment, at fair value and eligible PPP loans that are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. |
Over the last decade, the Bank has developed a suite of commercial loan products with one particularly important common denominator: a relatively low credit risk assumption. The Bank’s commercial and industrial (“C&I”), mortgage finance, corporate and specialized lending lines of business, and multifamily loans for example, are characterized by conservative underwriting standards and historically low loss rates. Because of this emphasis, the Bank’s credit quality to date has been incredibly healthy despite a challenging economic and rate environment. Maintaining strong asset quality also requires a highly active portfolio monitoring process. In addition to frequent client outreach and monitoring at the individual loan level, management employs a bottom-up data driven approach to analyze the commercial portfolio.
Total consumer installment loans held for investment at March 31, 2025 were less than 4% of total assets and approximately 6% of total loans and leases held for investment, and were supported by an allowance for credit losses of $51.6 million. At March 31, 2025, the consumer installment portfolio had the following characteristics: average original FICO score of 739, average debt-to-income of 20% and average borrower income of $104 thousand.
Non-performing loans at March 31, 2025 decreased to 0.29% of total loans and leases, compared to 0.30% at December 31, 2024 and increased, compared to 0.27% at March 31, 2024.
Investment Securities
The investment securities portfolio, including debt securities classified as available for sale (“AFS”) and held to maturity (“HTM”) provides periodic cash flows through regular maturities and amortization, can be used as collateral to secure additional funding, and is an important component of the Bank’s liquidity position.
