CEO COMMENTARY:

“Western Alliance’s diversified, national commercial business strategy continued to drive strong momentum in the fourth quarter as we generated earnings per share of $1.911, excluding $0.58 of notable items. We view this quarter’s solid loan and deposit momentum, continued net interest income growth, and sustained stable asset quality as positioning us to deliver leading profitability in 2024, supported by sturdy capital and liquidity levels,” said Kenneth A. Vecchione, President and Chief Executive Officer. “CET1 capital reached 10.8% at year-end, and tangible book value per share rose 16% year-over-year to $46.721. Additionally, our strong deposit growth allowed us to repay $1.5 billion of debt and borrowings, including our entire loan from the Bank Term Funding Program. As we turn the page on 2023, we are encouraged by how our employees responded to the year’s challenges as well as the ongoing trust placed in us by our customers and shareholders.”

Income Statement

Net interest income totaled $591.7 million in the fourth quarter 2023, an increase of $4.7 million, or 0.8%, from $587.0 million in the third quarter 2023, and a decrease of $48.0 million, or 7.5%, compared to the fourth quarter 2022. The increase in net interest income from the third quarter 2023 is due to an increase in average HFI loan and securities balances combined with a decrease in average short-term borrowings, and was partially offset by an increase in deposit balances and rates. The decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter 2022 was driven by an increase in both the balances and rates of deposits and short-term borrowings, partially offset by higher yields on HFI loans.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.3 million in the fourth quarter 2023, a decrease of $2.8 million from $12.1 million in the third quarter 2023, and an increase of $6.2 million from $3.1 million in the fourth quarter 2022. The decrease in provision for credit losses during the fourth quarter 2023 is primarily due to improvement in the macroeconomic outlook and stable asset quality.

The Company’s net interest margin in the fourth quarter 2023 was 3.65%, a decrease from 3.67% in the third quarter 2023, and a decrease from 3.98% in the fourth quarter 2022. An increase in deposit balances and rates drove a decrease in net interest margin from the third quarter 2023, with higher average HFI loan and securities balances partially offsetting this decrease. The decrease in net interest margin from the fourth quarter 2022 was driven by higher average balances and rates on deposits and short-term borrowings.

Non-interest income was $90.5 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $129.2 million for the third quarter 2023, and $61.5 million for the fourth quarter 2022. The $38.7 million decrease in non-interest income for the third quarter 2023 was due to a decrease in fair value gain adjustments of $16.5 million and a $14.8 million loss on sale of securities in the fourth quarter compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the third quarter, combined with an $18.1 million decrease in net loan servicing revenue due to losses on MSR sales and fair value changes, partially offset by higher servicing income, and a $4.2 million decrease in net gain on loan origination and sale activities from lower spreads. These decreases were offset by a $12.6 million increase in income from equity investments. The $29.0 million increase in non-interest income from the fourth quarter 2022 was driven by a higher net gain on loan origination and sale activities, service charges and fees, and fair value gain adjustments.

Net revenue totaled $682.2 million for the fourth quarter 2023, a decrease of $34.0 million or 4.7%, compared to $716.2 million for the third quarter 2023, and a decrease of $19.0 million or 2.7%, compared to $701.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022.

Non-interest expense was $461.9 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $426.2 million for the third quarter 2023, and $333.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022. The Company’s adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 59.1% for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to 50.0% in the third quarter 2023, and 40.0% for the fourth quarter 2022. The increase in non-interest expense from the third quarter 2023 is due primarily to increased insurance costs largely related to the FDIC special assessment, partially offset by a gain on debt extinguishment related to the early payoff of the AmeriHome senior notes. The increase in non-interest expense from the fourth quarter 2022 is primarily attributable to an increase in insurance and deposit costs.

Income tax expense was $63.1 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $61.3 million for the third quarter 2023, and $71.7 million for the fourth quarter 2022. The increase in income tax expense from the third quarter 2023 is primarily related to a higher effective tax rate resulting from lower utilization of tax credits due to timing of projects being placed in service, the AOCI impact of AFS securities gains during the quarter, and discrete nondeductible items.

Net income was $147.9 million for the fourth quarter 2023, a decrease of $68.7 million from $216.6 million for the third quarter 2023, and a decrease of $145.1 million from $293.0 million for the fourth quarter 2022. Earnings per share totaled $1.33 for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $1.97 for the third quarter 2023, and $2.67 for the fourth quarter 2022. Earnings per share, excluding notable items1, totaled $1.91 for the fourth quarter 2023. The Company views its earnings per share, excluding notable items1 as a key metric for assessing the Company’s earnings power.

The Company views its pre-provision net revenue1 ("PPNR") as a key metric for assessing the Company’s earnings power, which it defines as net revenue less non-interest expense. For the fourth quarter 2023, the Company’s PPNR1 was $220.3 million, down $69.7 million from $290.0 million in the third quarter 2023, and down $147.5 million from $367.8 million in the fourth quarter 2022.

The Company had 3,260 full-time equivalent employees and 57 offices at December 31, 2023, compared to 3,272 employees and 56 offices at September 30, 2023, and 3,365 employees and 56 offices at December 31, 2022.

Balance Sheet

HFI loans, net of deferred fees totaled $50.3 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $49.4 billion at September 30, 2023, and $51.9 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in HFI loans of $850 million from the prior quarter was driven by an increase of $759 million in commercial and industrial loans and $220 million in construction and land development loans. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in CRE non-owner occupied loans of $160 million. The decrease in HFI loans of $1.6 billion from December 31, 2022 was driven by a $1.6 billion decrease in commercial and industrial loans and a $1.2 billion decrease in residential real estate loans, resulting from loan dispositions undertaken as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy. This decrease was partially offset by increases in construction and land development loans and CRE non-owner occupied of $876 million and $331 million, respectively. HFS loans totaled $1.4 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2023, and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022. The balance of HFS loans at December 31, 2023 primarily consisted of AmeriHome HFS loans, consistent with the balance at December 31, 2022 and prior periods. The decrease of $364 million in HFS loans from the prior quarter is primarily related to loan sales. The increase of $218 million in HFS loans from December 31, 2022 primarily related to an increase in agency conforming loans.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on HFI loans consists of an allowance for funded HFI loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. At December 31, 2023, the allowance for loan losses to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.67%, compared to 0.66% at September 30, 2023, and 0.60% at December 31, 2022. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.73% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.74% at September 30, 2023, and 0.69% at December 31, 2022. The Company is a party to credit linked note transactions, which effectively transfer a portion of the risk of losses on reference pools of loans to the purchasers of the notes. The Company is protected from first credit losses on reference pools of loans totaling $9.1 billion, $9.3 billion, and $12.0 billion as of December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, under these transactions. However, as these note transactions are considered to be free standing credit enhancements, the allowance for credit losses cannot be reduced by the expected credit losses that may be mitigated by these notes. Accordingly, the allowance for loan and credit losses ratios include an allowance of $14.7 million as of December 31, 2023, $17.4 million as of September 30, 2023, and $18.5 million as of December 31, 2022, related to these pools of loans. The allowance for credit losses to funded HFI loans ratio, adjusted to reduce the HFI loan balance by the amount of loans in covered reference pools, was 0.89% at December 31, 2023, 0.91% at September 30, 2023, and 0.89% at December 31, 2022.

Deposits totaled $55.3 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.0 billion from $54.3 billion at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $1.7 billion from $53.6 billion at December 31, 2022. By deposit type, the increase from the prior quarter is attributable to increases of $3.1 billion from interest-bearing demand deposits and $1.3 billion from certificates of deposits, offset by a decrease of $3.5 billion from non-interest bearing demand deposits. From December 31, 2022, interest-bearing demand deposits and certificates of deposit increased $6.4 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in non-interest bearing demand deposits and savings and money market accounts of $5.2 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively. Non-interest bearing deposits were $14.5 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $18.0 billion at September 30, 2023, and $19.7 billion at December 31, 2022.

The Company’s ratio of HFI loans to deposits was 90.9% at December 31, 2023, compared to 91.1% at September 30, 2023, and 96.7% at December 31, 2022.

Borrowings were $7.2 billion at December 31, 2023, $8.7 billion at September 30, 2023, and $6.3 billion at December 31, 2022. Borrowings decreased $1.5 billion from September 30, 2023 due to payoff of the Bank Term Funding Program advances and the AmeriHome senior notes. The increase in borrowings from December 31, 2022 is due primarily to an increase in short-term borrowings of $1.8 billion, partially offset by payoffs of credit linked notes and the AmeriHome senior notes.

Qualifying debt totaled $895 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $890 million at September 30, 2023, and $893 million at December 31, 2022.

Stockholders’ equity was $6.1 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $5.7 billion at September 30, 2023 and $5.4 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase in stockholders’ equity from the prior quarter was due to net income and unrealized fair value gains of $222 million on the Company's available-for-sale securities, which are recorded in other comprehensive loss, net of tax. These increases were partially offset by dividends to shareholders. Cash dividends of $40.5 million ($0.37 per common share) and $3.2 million ($0.27 per depository share) were paid to shareholders during the fourth quarter 2023. The increase in stockholders' equity from December 31, 2022 is primarily a function of net income, partially offset by dividends to shareholders.

At December 31, 2023, tangible common equity, net of tax1, was 7.3% of tangible assets1 and total capital was 13.7% of risk-weighted assets. The Company’s tangible book value per share1 was $46.72 at December 31, 2023, an increase of 7.0% from $43.66 at September 30, 2023, and up 16.1% from $40.25 at December 31, 2022. The increase in tangible book value per share from September 30, 2023 is attributable to net income.

Total assets remained flat from September 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023 at $70.9 billion, and increased 4.6% from $67.7 billion at December 31, 2022. The slight decrease in total assets from September 30, 2023 was driven by a decrease in cash and HFS loans, offset by an increase in investment securities. The increase in total assets from December 31, 2022 was driven by an increase in investments, cash, and HFS loans, partially offset by a decrease in HFI loans.

Asset Quality

Provision for credit losses totaled $9.3 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $12.1 million for the third quarter 2023, and $3.1 million for the fourth quarter 2022. Net loan charge-offs in the fourth quarter 2023 were $8.5 million, or 0.07% of average loans (annualized), compared to $8.0 million, or 0.07%, in the third quarter 2023, and $1.8 million, or 0.01%, in the fourth quarter 2022.

Nonaccrual loans increased $36 million to $273 million during the quarter and increased $188 million from December 31, 2022. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest totaled $42 million at December 31, 2023 and zero at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (excluding government guaranteed loans of $399 million, $439 million, and $582 million, respectively). Loans past due 30-89 days and still accruing interest totaled $164 million at December 31, 2023, a decrease from $189 million at September 30, 2023, and an increase from $70 million at December 31, 2022 (excluding government guaranteed loans of $279 million, $261 million, and $334 million, respectively).

Repossessed assets totaled $8 million at December 31, 2023, flat from September 30, 2023, and a decrease of $3 million from December 31, 2022. Classified assets totaled $673 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $34 million from $639 million at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $280 million from $393 million at December 31, 2022.

The ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses, a common regulatory measure of asset quality, was 10.5% at December 31, 2023, compared to 10.2% at September 30, 2023, and 6.8% at December 31, 2022.
