NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2014

Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BankUnited, Inc. (“BankUnited, Inc.” or “BKU”), is a national bank holding company with one wholly-owned subsidiary, BankUnited, National Association (“BankUnited” or the “Bank”), collectively, the Company. BankUnited, a national banking association headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, provides a full range of banking and related services to individual and corporate customers through 99 branches located in 15 Florida counties and 6 banking centers located in the New York metropolitan area at March 31, 2014.

On May 21, 2009, BankUnited acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed all of the non-brokered deposits and substantially all of the other liabilities of BankUnited, FSB from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in a transaction referred to as the “FSB Acquisition.” Neither the Company nor the Bank had any substantive operations prior to May 21, 2009. In connection with the FSB Acquisition, BankUnited entered into two loss sharing agreements with the FDIC (the “Loss Sharing Agreements”). The Loss Sharing Agreements consist of a single family shared-loss agreement (the “Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement”), and a commercial and other loans shared-loss agreement, (the “Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement”). The Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement provides for FDIC loss sharing and the Bank’s reimbursement for recoveries to the FDIC through May 21, 2019 for single family residential loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). The Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement provides for FDIC loss sharing through May 21, 2014 and the Bank’s reimbursement for recoveries to the FDIC through May 21, 2017 for all other covered assets, including commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and consumer loans, certain investment securities and commercial OREO. The assets covered under the Loss Sharing Agreements are collectively referred to as the “covered assets.” Pursuant to the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, the covered assets are subject to a stated loss threshold whereby the FDIC will reimburse BankUnited for 80% of losses related to the covered assets up to $4.0 billion and 95% of losses in excess of this amount, beginning with the first dollar of loss incurred.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in BKU’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.

Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Accounting Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

Significant estimates include the allowance for loan and lease losses, the amount and timing of expected cash flows from covered assets and the FDIC indemnification asset, the fair values of investment securities and other financial instruments and the valuation of OREO. Management has used information provided by third party valuation specialists to assist in the determination of the fair values of investment securities and OREO.

Note 2 Earnings Per Common Share

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is presented below (in thousands except share and per share data):

The Company monitors its investment securities available for sale for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on an individual security basis. No securities were determined to be other than temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company does not intend to sell securities that are in significant unrealized loss positions and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. At March 31, 2014, 36 securities were in unrealized loss positions. Unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2014 were primarily attributable to an increase in medium and long-term market interest rates subsequent to the date the securities were acquired. The amount of impairment related to 12 of these securities was considered insignificant, totaling approximately $155 thousand and no further analysis with respect to these securities was considered necessary. The basis for concluding that impairment of the remaining securities was not other-than-temporary is further described below:

U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities:

At March 31, 2014, nine U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. All of these securities were in unrealized loss positions for less than 12 months. These securities evidenced unrealized losses ranging from 1% to 8% of amortized cost. The timely payment of principal and interest on these securities is explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Given the limited severity and duration of impairment and the expectation of timely payment of principal and interest, the impairments were considered to be temporary.

Private label residential mortgage-backed securities and CMOs:

At March 31, 2014, five private label residential mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. These securities were assessed for OTTI using third-party developed credit and prepayment behavioral models and CUSIP level constant default rates, voluntary prepayment rates and loss severity and delinquency assumptions. The results of these assessments were not indicative of credit losses related to any of these securities as of March 31, 2014. Three of these securities were in unrealized loss positions for less than twelve months and one for 13 months. These securities evidenced unrealized losses ranging from 1% to 6% of amortized cost. The remaining security had been in an unrealized loss position for 33 months and the unrealized loss of $74 thousand amounted to 7% of amortized cost. The market for this security is thin and the market price is adversely affected by lack of liquidity. This bond is considered an odd lot which can be detrimental to potential bids for the security. Given the generally limited duration and severity of impairment and the expectation of timely recovery of outstanding principal, the impairments were considered to be temporary.

Private label commercial mortgage-backed securities:

At March 31, 2014, nine private label commercial mortgage-backed securities were in unrealized loss positions. Eight of these securities were in unrealized loss positions for less than twelve months and one for 15 months. The amount of impairment ranged from less than 1% to 4% of amortized cost. These securities were assessed for OTTI using third-party developed models, incorporating assumptions consistent with the collateral characteristics of each security. The results of this analysis were not indicative of expected credit losses. Securities in this class generally have longer durations than the portfolio as a whole, so are more significantly impacted by changes in rates. Given the limited severity and duration of impairment and the expectation of timely recovery of outstanding principal, the impairments were considered to be temporary.

Non-mortgage asset-backed securities:

At March 31, 2014, one non-mortgage asset-backed security was in an unrealized loss position. This security had been in an unrealized loss position for less than 3 months and the amount of impairment was less than 1% of amortized cost. This security was assessed for OTTI using a third-party developed credit and prepayment behavioral model and CUSIP level constant default rates, voluntary prepayment rates and loss severity and delinquency assumptions. The results of this analysis were not indicative of expected credit losses. Given the limited severity and duration of impairment and the expectation of timely recovery of outstanding principal, the impairment was considered to be temporary.

Note 4 Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

A significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition. Substantially all of these loans are covered under BankUnited’s Loss Sharing Agreements (the “covered loans”). Loans originated or purchased since the FSB Acquisition (“new loans”) are not covered by the Loss Sharing Agreements. Loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition may be further segregated between those acquired with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination (“Acquired Credit Impaired” or “ACI” loans) and those acquired without evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination (“non-ACI” loans).

Covered 1-4 single family residential loans with UPB of $16 million and $20 million, respectively, were sold from a pool of ACI loans with a zero carrying value. Proceeds of the sale of loans from this pool, representing realization of accretable yield, were recorded in interest income. The loss on the sale of loans from the remaining pools, representing the difference between the recorded investment and consideration received, was recorded in “Gain (loss) on sale of loans, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, in accordance with the terms of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, the Bank requested and received approval from the FDIC to sell certain covered commercial and consumer loans. These loans were transferred to loans held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value, determined at the individual loan level, upon receipt of FDIC approval and sold in March 2014. The reduction of carrying value to fair value for specific loans was recognized in the provision for loan losses. The following table summarizes the pre-tax impact of these sales, as reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

New and non-ACI loans contractually delinquent by 90 days or more and still accruing totaled $1.2 million and $0.5 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The amount of additional interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans and TDRs had they performed in accordance with their contractual terms is not material.

The following table summarizes new and non-ACI loans that were modified in TDRs during the periods indicated, as well as new and non-ACI loans modified during the twelve months preceding March 31, 2014 and 2013, that experienced payment defaults during the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included restructuring of the amount and timing of required periodic payments, extensions of maturity and residential modifications under the U.S. Treasury Department’s Home Affordable Modification Program (“HAMP”). Included in TDRs are loans to consumer borrowers who have not reaffirmed their debt discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The total amount of such loans is not material. Because of the immateriality of the amount of loans modified in TDRs and nature of the modifications, the modifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or on the determination of the amount of the ALLL at March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Management considers delinquency status to be the most meaningful indicator of the credit quality of 1-4 single family residential, home equity and consumer loans. Delinquency statistics are updated at least monthly. Original loan to value (“LTV”) ratio and original FICO score are also important indicators of credit quality for the new 1-4 single family residential portfolio, while original FICO score is an important indicator of credit quality for the indirect auto portfolio.

Internal risk ratings are considered the most meaningful indicator of credit quality for commercial loans. Internal risk ratings are a key factor in identifying loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and impact management’s estimates of loss factors used in determining the amount of the ALLL. Internal risk ratings are updated on a continuous basis. Relationships with balances in excess of $1 million are re-evaluated at least annually and more frequently if circumstances indicate that a change in risk rating may be warranted. Loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention and that if left uncorrected may result in deterioration of the repayment capacity of the borrower are categorized as special mention. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses, including payment defaults, declining collateral values, frequent overdrafts, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, inadequate cash flow, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, past due real estate taxes or exhausted interest reserves, are assigned an internal risk rating of substandard. A loan with a weakness so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable will be assigned an internal risk rating of doubtful.

The following tables summarize key indicators of credit quality for the Company’s new and non-ACI loans at the dates indicated. Amounts are net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs (in thousands):

ACI Loans

The accretable yield on ACI loans represents the amount by which undiscounted expected future cash flows exceed recorded investment. Changes in the accretable yield on ACI loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	1,286,066
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference	282,952
Accretion	(410,446		)
Balance, December 31, 2013	1,158,572
Reclassifications from non-accretable difference	40,617
Accretion	(91,530		)
Balance, March 31, 2014	$	1,107,659

Accretable yield at March 31, 2014 included expected cash flows from a pool of 1-4 single family residential loans whose carrying value had been reduced to zero. The UPB of loans remaining in this pool was $45 million at March 31, 2014.

Credit quality information — ACI loans

ACI loans or loan pools are considered to be impaired when there has been further deterioration in the cash flows expected at acquisition plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition, other than due to decreases in interest rate indices and changes in prepayment assumptions. Discount continues to be accreted on ACI loans or pools as long as there are expected future cash flows in excess of the current carrying amount; therefore, these loans are not classified as non-accrual even though they may be contractually delinquent. ACI 1-4 single family residential and home equity loans accounted for in pools are evaluated for impairment on a pool basis and the amount of any impairment is measured based on the expected aggregate cash flows of the pools. ACI commercial and commercial real estate loans are evaluated individually for impairment.

1-4 single family residential and home equity ACI loans that are contractually delinquent by more than 90 days and accounted for in pools that are on accrual status because discount continues to be accreted totaled $47 million and $60 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The recorded investment in commercial and commercial real estate ACI loans that are contractually delinquent in excess of ninety days but still classified as accruing loans due to discount accretion totaled $0.9 million and $18 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note 5 FDIC Indemnification Asset

When the Company recognizes gains or losses related to covered assets in its consolidated financial statements, changes in the estimated amount recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements with respect to those gains or losses are also reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Covered loans may be resolved through prepayment, short sale of the underlying collateral, foreclosure, sale of the loans or charge-off. For loans resolved through prepayment, short sale or foreclosure, the difference between consideration received in satisfaction of the loans and the carrying value of the loans is recognized in the statement of income line item “Income from resolution of covered assets, net.” Losses from the resolution of covered loans increase the amount recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Gains from the resolution of covered loans reduce the amount recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Similarly, differences in proceeds received on the sale of OREO and covered loans and their carrying amounts result in gains or losses and reduce or increase the amount recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Increases in valuation allowances or impairment charges related to covered assets also increase the amount estimated to be recoverable from the FDIC. These additions to or reductions in amounts recoverable from the FDIC related to the resolution of covered assets are recorded in the consolidated statement of income line item “Net loss on indemnification asset” and reflected as corresponding increases or decreases in the FDIC indemnification asset.

The following tables summarize the components of the gains and losses associated with covered assets, along with the related additions to or reductions in the amounts recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements, as reflected in the consolidated statements of income for the periods indicated (in thousands):

For a number of reasons, the gain or loss on indemnification asset does not bear the relationship to net gain or loss on sale of covered loans that might generally be expected based on the Loss Sharing Agreements. These reasons include, but are not limited to, the fact that the amount of indemnification from sales of covered loans is generally based on the unpaid principal balance of the loans rather than carrying value and prior charge offs taken on loans sold for which loss share claims were previously submitted.

Changes in the FDIC indemnification asset for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, were as follows (in thousands):

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	1,457,570

Reduction for claims filed	(41,048		)
Net loss on indemnification asset	(16,904		)
Balance, March 31, 2014	$	1,131,424

Under the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, the Company is also entitled to reimbursement from the FDIC for certain expenses related to covered assets upon final resolution of those assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, non-interest expense includes $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of expenses subject to reimbursement at the 80% level under the Loss Sharing Agreements. For those same periods, claims of $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, were submitted to the FDIC for reimbursement. As of March 31, 2014, $12.2 million of expenses incurred to date remained to be submitted for reimbursement from the FDIC in future periods as the related covered assets are resolved.

Note 6 Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate of 35.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes, substantially offset by the impact of tax-exempt income and state tax law changes enacted in the first quarter of 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the effective income tax rate of 39.1% differed from the statutory federal income tax rate primarily due to the impact of state income taxes.

Note 7 Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk related to variable rate FHLB advances and certificates of deposit with maturities of one year, which expose the Company to variability in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. The Company enters into LIBOR-based interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges with the objective of limiting the variability of interest payment cash flows resulting from changes in the benchmark interest rate LIBOR. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedging instruments is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the related interest on the floating-rate debt obligations affects earnings.

The Company also enters into interest rate derivative contracts with certain of its commercial borrowers to enable those borrowers to manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate interest rate risk associated with these derivative contracts, the Company enters into offsetting derivative contract positions with primary dealers. These interest rate derivative contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings. The impact on earnings related to changes in fair value of these derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was not material.

The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit rating and financial information. The Company manages dealer credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, the use of ISDA master agreements and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral arrangements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps. The Company manages the risk of default by its borrower counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company does not currently anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

The following tables set forth certain information concerning the Company’s interest rate contract derivative financial instruments and related hedged items at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, no derivative positions designated as cash flow hedges were discontinued and none of the gains and losses reported in AOCI were reclassified into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges or because of the early extinguishment of debt. As of March 31, 2014, the amount expected to be reclassified from AOCI into income during the next twelve months is $25.9 million.

Some of the Company’s ISDA master agreements with financial institution counterparties contain provisions that permit either counterparty to terminate the agreements and require settlement in the event that regulatory capital ratios fall below certain designated thresholds, upon the initiation of other defined regulatory actions or upon suspension or withdrawal of the Bank’s credit rating. Currently, there are no circumstances that would trigger these provisions of the agreements.

The difference between the amounts reported for interest rate swaps subject to master netting agreements and the total fair value of interest rate contract derivative financial instruments reported in the consolidated balance sheets is related to interest rate contracts entered into with borrowers not subject to master netting agreements.

At March 31, 2014, the Company has pledged investment securities available for sale with a carrying amount of $41.3 million and cash on deposit of $12.6 million as collateral for these interest rate swaps in a liability position. Financial collateral of $10.0 million was pledged by counterparties to the Company for interest rate swaps in an asset position. The amount of collateral required to be posted by the Company varies based on the settlement value of outstanding swaps and in some cases may include initial margin requirements.

The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold into the secondary market. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate within a specified period of time, generally 30 to 90 days. These commitments are considered derivative instruments. The notional amount of outstanding mortgage loan commitment derivatives was $4 million and $3 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the commitments might decline from inception of the commitment to funding of the loan. To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Company utilizes “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments. Under a “best efforts” contract, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. Generally, the price the investor will pay the Company for a loan is specified prior to the loan being funded. These commitments are considered derivative instruments once the underlying loans are funded. The notional amount of forward loan sale commitment derivatives was $1.4 million and $0.2 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of loan commitment and forward sale commitment derivatives was nominal at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Note 9 Equity Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company granted 620,180 unvested share awards under the BankUnited, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). All of the shares vest in equal annual installments over a period of three years from the date of grant. The shares granted were valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, ranging from $31.44 to $33.78, for a weighted average grant date fair value of $31.82 and an aggregate fair value of $17.2 million. The total unrecognized compensation cost of $27.4 million for share awards outstanding at March 31, 2014 will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.3 years. No share awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Note 10 Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.

Investment securities available for sale—Fair value measurements are based on quoted prices in active markets when available; these measurements are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. These securities typically include certain preferred stocks and mutual funds. If quoted prices in active markets are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, quoted prices of identical securities in less active markets, discounted cash flow techniques, or matrix pricing models. These securities are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and include U.S. Government agency securities, U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, preferred stock investments for which level 1 valuations are not available, corporate debt securities, non-mortgage asset-backed securities, certain private label residential mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, Re-Remics, private label commercial mortgage-backed securities and state and municipal obligations. Pricing of these securities is generally primarily spread driven. Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these securities include benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, reported trades, dealer quotes, bids, issuer spreads, current rating, historical constant prepayment rates, historical voluntary prepayment rates, structural and waterfall features of individual securities, published collateral data, and for certain securities, historical constant default rates and default severities. Investment securities available for sale generally classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy include certain private label mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities. The Company typically values these securities using third-party proprietary pricing models, primarily discounted cash flow valuation techniques, which incorporate both observable and unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs that may impact the valuation of these securities include risk adjusted discount rates, projected prepayment rates, projected default rates and projected loss severity.

Derivative financial instruments—Interest rate swaps are predominantly traded in over-the-counter markets and, as such, values are determined using widely accepted discounted cash flow modeling techniques. These discounted cash flow models use projections of future cash payments and receipts that are discounted at mid-market rates. Observable inputs that may impact the valuation of these instruments include LIBOR swap rates, LIBOR forward yield curves and counterparty credit risk spreads. These fair value measurements are generally classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Loan commitment derivatives are priced based on a bid pricing convention adjusted based on the Company’s historical fallout rates. Fallout rates are a significant unobservable input; therefore, these fair value measurements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of loan commitment derivatives is nominal.

The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated (in thousands):

The following table provides information about the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs used in the valuation of financial instruments falling within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands):

	Fair Value at		Valuation	Unobservable	Range (Weighted
	March 31, 2014		Technique	Input	Average)
Private label residential mortgage-backed securities and CMOs - Covered	$	172,070	Discounted cash flow	Voluntary prepayment rate	2.69% - 20.00% (6.78%)
				Probability of default	0.02% - 20.32% (3.80%)
				Loss severity	0.00% - 55.00% (19.05%)

Private label residential mortgage-backed securities and CMOs - Non-covered	$	14,849	Discounted cash flow	Voluntary prepayment rate	8.93% - 11.61% (10.77%)
				Probability of default	0.29% - 0.94% (0.74%)
				Loss severity	0.07% - 5.31% (3.90%)

The significant unobservable inputs impacting the fair value measurement of private label residential mortgage-backed securities include voluntary prepayment rates, probability of default and loss severity given default. Generally, significant increases in any of those inputs would result in a lower fair value measurement. Alternatively, decreases in any of those inputs would result in a higher fair value measurement. The fair value

measurements of those securities with higher levels of subordination will be less sensitive to changes in these unobservable inputs, while securities with lower levels of subordination will show a higher degree of sensitivity to changes in these unobservable inputs. Generally, a change in the assumption used for probability of default is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for loss severity given default and a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for voluntary prepayment rate.

Non-covered private label residential mortgage-backed securities for which fair value measurements are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2014 had an aggregate fair value of $15 million. These securities consisted of senior tranches issued from 2003 to 2004 collateralized by prime fixed rate and hybrid 1-4 single family residential mortgages originated from 2002 to 2004. These securities have coupons ranging from 2.5% to 2.6%, ratings ranging from Baa1 to A and subordination levels ranging from 8.4% to 11.3%.

The covered securities for which fair value measurements are categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2014 consisted of pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of $5 million and private label residential mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $172 million. The trust preferred securities are not material to the Company’s financial statements. The private label mortgage-backed securities were acquired in the FSB Acquisition and vary significantly with respect to seniority, subordination, collateral type and collateral performance; however, because of the Loss Sharing Agreements, the Company currently has minimal risk with respect to fluctuations in the value of these securities. These private label mortgage-backed securities had an amortized cost of $115 million and an aggregate fair value of $172 million at March 31, 2014. Gross unrealized losses related to securities in this group at March 31, 2014 were insignificant, totaling $77 thousand.

The Company uses third-party pricing services in determining fair value measurements for investment securities. To obtain an understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used, management reviews written documentation provided by the pricing services, conducts interviews with valuation desk personnel, performs on-site walkthroughs and reviews model results and detailed assumptions used to value selected securities as considered necessary. Management has established a robust price challenge process that includes a review by the treasury front office of all prices provided on a monthly basis. Any price evidencing unexpected month over month fluctuations or deviations from expectations is challenged. If considered necessary to resolve any discrepancies, a price will be obtained from an additional independent valuation source. The Company does not typically adjust the prices provided, other than through this established challenge process. The results of price challenges are subject to review by executive management. The Company has also established a quarterly process whereby prices provided by its primary pricing service for a sample of securities are validated. When there are price discrepancies, the final determination of fair value is based on careful consideration of the assumptions and inputs employed by each of the pricing sources.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

Following is a description of the methodologies used to estimate the fair values of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements are typically classified.

Impaired loans and OREO - The carrying amount of collateral dependent impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may be real estate or other business assets, less estimated costs to sell. The carrying value of OREO is initially measured based on the fair value of the real estate acquired in foreclosure and subsequently adjusted to the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Fair values of real estate collateral are typically based on real estate appraisals which utilize market and income approaches to valuation incorporating both observable and unobservable inputs. When current appraisals are not available, the Company may use brokers’ price opinions, home price indices or other available information about changes in real estate market conditions to adjust the latest appraised value available. These adjustments to appraised values may be subjective and involve significant management judgment. The fair value of collateral consisting of other business assets is generally based on appraisals that use market approaches to valuation incorporating primarily unobservable inputs. Fair value measurements related to collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments, other than those described above:

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable.

Non-marketable equity securities:

Non-marketable equity securities include FHLB and FRB stock. There is no market for these securities, which can be liquidated only by redemption by the issuer. These securities are carried at par, which has historically

BANKUNITED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2014

represented the redemption price and is therefore considered to approximate fair value. Non-marketable equity securities are evaluated quarterly for potential impairment.

Loans held for sale:

The fair value of conforming loans originated and held for sale is based on pricing currently available to the Company in the secondary market.

ACI and non-ACI loans:

Fair values are estimated based on a discounted cash flow analysis except as noted in the following paragraph. Estimates of future cash flows incorporate various factors that may include the type of loan and related collateral, estimated collateral values, estimated default probability and loss severity given default, internal risk rating, whether the interest rate is fixed or variable, term of loan, whether or not the loan is amortizing and loan specific net realizable value analyses for certain commercial and commercial real estate loans. The fair values of loans accounted for in pools are estimated on a pool basis. Other loans may be grouped based on risk characteristics and fair value estimated in the aggregate when applying discounted cash flow valuation techniques. Discount rates are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans adjusted for liquidity and credit risk premiums that the Company believes would be required by market participants.

At March 31, 2014, fair values of commercial ACI and non-ACI loans are estimated based on the pricing obtained in the sale of similar loans in March 31, 2014, adjusted for differences in LTV ratios.

New loans:

Fair values of residential loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with discount rates based on yields at which similar loans are trading in the secondary market, which reflect assumptions about credit risk. Fair values of commercial and consumer loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with discount rates based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The ALLL related to commercial and consumer loans is considered a reasonable estimate of the required adjustment to fair value to reflect the impact of credit risk. This estimate may not represent an exit value as defined in ASC 820.

FDIC indemnification asset:

The fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset has been estimated using a discounted cash flow technique incorporating assumptions about the timing and amount of future projected cash payments from the FDIC related to the resolution of covered assets. The factors that impact estimates of future cash flows are similar to those impacting estimated cash flows from ACI and non-ACI loans described above. The discount rate is determined by adjusting the risk free rate to incorporate uncertainty in the estimate of the timing and amount of future cash flows and illiquidity.

Deposits:

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique based on rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances:

Fair value is estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows using the current rate at which borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities could be obtained by the Company.

Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies

The Company issues off-balance sheet financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to fund loans, unfunded commitments under existing lines of credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit. These commitments expose the Company to varying degrees of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2014

credit and market risk which are essentially the same as those involved in extending loans to customers, and are subject to the same credit policies used in underwriting loans. Collateral may be obtained based on the Company’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. Amounts funded under non-cancellable commitments in effect at the date of the FSB Acquisition are covered under the Loss Sharing Agreements if certain conditions are met.

Commitments to fund loans:

These are agreements to lend funds to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to fund loans generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit:

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit include commercial, commercial real estate, home equity and consumer lines of credit to existing customers. Some of these commitments may mature without being fully funded.

Commercial and standby letters of credit:

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These letters of credit are primarily issued to support trade transactions or guarantee arrangements. Fees collected on standby letters of credit represent the fair value of those commitments and are deferred and amortized over their term, which is typically one year or less. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Total lending related commitments outstanding at March 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

	Covered		Non-Covered		Total
Commitments to fund loans	$	—	$	446,945	$	446,945

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based upon advice of legal counsel, the likelihood is remote that the impact of these proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 12 Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company made the decision to terminate our indirect auto lending activities. We are currently evaluating our future plans for the existing indirect auto loan portfolio.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to focus on significant changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and BKU’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the Annual Report on Form 10-K”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial performance. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the historical performance of the Company or on the Company’s current plans, estimates and expectations. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the future plans, estimates or expectations so contemplated will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company’s operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the Company’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary materially from those indicated in these statements. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Quarterly Highlights

· Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was $55.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share as compared to $48.2 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

· New loans grew by $1.1 billion during the first quarter of 2014. Net of the resolution of covered loans, loans grew $920 million during the quarter to $10.0 billion at March 31, 2014.

· Total deposits increased by $591 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to $11.1 billion.

· Net interest income increased by $12.7 million to $166.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from $153.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Interest income increased by $14.2 million primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance of loans outstanding, partially offset by a decline in the tax-equivalent yield on loans to 7.04% from 10.54%. Interest expense increased by $1.5 million due primarily an increase in average interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities to 0.88% from 0.99%.

· The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 5.05% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to 5.93% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The net interest margin continues to be impacted by the origination of new loans at current market yields lower than those on the covered loan portfolio.

· Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 benefited from a net gain on the sale of covered commercial and consumer loans and commercial OREO. Better than previously projected pricing resulted in a net favorable pre-tax impact on quarterly earnings of $12.2 million, inclusive of the impact of FDIC loss sharing and direct expenses of the sale. Loss sharing under the terms of BankUnited’s Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement with the FDIC will terminate on May 21, 2014.

Table of Contents

· Asset quality remained strong, with a ratio of non-performing assets to total assets of 0.38% and a ratio of non-performing loans to total loans of 0.30% at March 31, 2014. The ratio of non-performing, non-covered assets to total assets was 0.13% at March 31, 2014.

· The Company’s capital ratios exceeded all regulatory “well capitalized” guidelines, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.1%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 19.4% and a Total risk-based capital ratio of 20.3% at March 31, 2014.

· Book value and tangible book value per common share grew to $19.47 and $18.80, respectively, at March 31, 2014.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest incurred on interest bearing liabilities and is the primary driver of core earnings. Net interest income is impacted by the relative mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the ratio of interest earning assets to total assets and of interest bearing liabilities to total funding sources, movements in market interest rates, levels of non-performing assets and pricing pressure from competitors.

The mix of interest earning assets is influenced by loan demand, market and competitive conditions in our primary lending markets and by management’s continual assessment of the rate of return and relative risk associated with various classes of earning assets. The mix of interest bearing liabilities is influenced by management’s assessment of the need for lower cost funding sources weighed against relationships with customers and growth requirements and is impacted by competition for deposits in the Company’s markets and the availability and pricing of other sources of funds.

Net interest income is also impacted by the accounting for ACI loans and to a declining extent, the accretion of fair value adjustments made to other interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in conjunction with the FSB Acquisition. ACI loans were initially recorded at fair value, measured based on the present value of expected cash flows. The excess of expected cash flows over recorded investment, known as accretable yield, is recognized as interest income over the lives of the underlying loans. The positive impact of accretion related to ACI loans on the net interest margin and the interest rate spread is expected to continue to decline as ACI loans comprise a declining percentage of total loans. The proportion of total loans represented by ACI loans is declining as the ACI loans are resolved and new loans are added to the portfolio. ACI loans represented 11.5% and 14.4% of total loans, net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. As this trend continues, we expect our net interest margin and interest rate spread to decrease.

Consideration received earlier than expected or in excess of expected cash flows may result in a pool of ACI residential loans becoming fully amortized and its carrying value reduced to zero even though outstanding contractual balances and expected cash flows remain related to loans in the pool. Once the carrying value of a pool is reduced to zero, any future proceeds from the remaining loans, representing further realization of accretable yield, are recognized as interest income upon receipt. The carrying value of one pool has been reduced to zero. The UPB of loans remaining in this pool was $45 million at March 31, 2014.

Fair value adjustments of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities recorded at the time of the FSB Acquisition are accreted to interest income or expense over the lives of the related assets or liabilities. Generally, accretion of these fair value adjustments increases interest income and decreases interest expense, and thus has a positive impact on our net interest income, net interest margin and interest rate spread. The impact of accretion of fair value adjustments on interest income and interest expense will continue to decline as these assets and liabilities mature or are repaid and constitute a smaller portion of total interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

The impact of accretion and ACI loan accounting on net interest income makes it difficult to compare our net interest margin and interest rate spread to those reported by other financial institutions.

(3) At fair value

Net interest income, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was $169.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $156.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $13.4 million. The increase in net interest income was comprised of an increase in interest income of $14.9 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.5 million.

The increase in tax-equivalent interest income resulted primarily from a $19.6 million increase in interest income from loans, partially offset by a $5.3 million decrease in interest income from investment securities available for sale.

Increased interest income from loans was attributable to a $3.9 billion increase in the average balance outstanding, partially offset by a 3.50% decrease in the tax-equivalent yield to 7.04% for the three months ended

Table of Contents

March 31, 2014 from 10.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Offsetting factors contributing to the overall decline in the yield on loans included:

· New loans originated at lower market rates of interest comprised a greater percentage of the portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2014 than for the comparable period in 2013. New loans represented 84.9% of the average balance of loans outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 67.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect the impact of growth of the new loan portfolio to lead to further declines in the overall yield on loans in future periods.

· The tax equivalent yield on new loans declined to 3.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily reflecting the impact of lower market rates on new production over the last year compared to periods prior to 2013.

· The yield on covered loans increased to 26.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 24.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the yield on covered loans resulted primarily from improvements in the timing and amount of expected cash flows and corresponding transfers from non-accretable difference to accretable yield, offset to a small degree by a decrease in the favorable impact of resolutions of covered commercial loans. Interest income on covered loans for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 included proceeds of $8.5 million and $10.2 million, respectively, from the sale of loans from a pool of ACI loans carried at zero. The impact of sales of loans from this pool is expected to decrease in the future.

The average balance of investment securities available for sale decreased by $708 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the three months ended March 31, 2013 while the tax-equivalent yield declined to 2.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 2.84% for the same period in 2013. The decline in average balance resulted from the use of proceeds from sales and repayments of investment securities to fund new loan production.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 was comprised of a $1.2 million increase in interest expense on deposits and a $0.3 million increase in interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings. The most significant factor contributing to the increase in interest expense on deposits was an increase in average interest bearing deposits of $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest bearing deposits of 0.07%. The average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings increased by $521 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The average rate paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings, inclusive of the impact of cash flow hedges and fair value accretion, declined by 0.30% to 1.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 1.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decline reflected the impact of the maturity of higher rate advances in 2013 and the addition of new advances at lower market interest rates.

The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 5.05% as compared to 5.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of 88 basis points. The interest rate spread decreased to 4.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 5.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The declines in net interest margin and interest rate spread resulted primarily from lower yields on loans and, to a lesser extent, investment securities partly offset by a lower cost of deposits and borrowings, as discussed above. We expect the net interest margin and interest rate spread to decrease in future periods as new loans are added to the portfolio at lower current rates and higher yielding legacy assets continue to decline. The net interest margin was positively impacted by the increase in the ratio of non-interest bearing demand deposits to total deposits, an increase in the ratio of loans to total interest-earning assets and an increase in the ratio of interest-earning assets to total assets.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the ALLL at an adequate level to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and

Table of Contents

that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The determination of the amount of the ALLL is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Our determination of the amount of the allowance and corresponding provision for loan losses considers ongoing evaluations of the credit quality of and level of credit risk inherent in various segments of the loan portfolio and of individually significant credits, levels of non-performing loans and charge-offs, statistical trends and economic and other relevant factors. See “Analysis of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” below for more information about how we determine the appropriate level of the allowance.

An ALLL is established related to ACI loans when quarterly evaluations of expected cash flows indicate it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all of the cash flows expected at acquisition plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition. An allowance for non-ACI loans is established if factors considered relevant by management indicate that additional losses have arisen on non-ACI loans subsequent to the FSB Acquisition.

Since the recognition of a provision for (recovery of) loan losses on covered loans represents an increase (reduction) in the amount of reimbursement we ultimately expect to receive from the FDIC, we also record an increase (decrease) in the FDIC indemnification asset for the present value of the projected increase (reduction) in reimbursement, with a corresponding increase (decrease) in non-interest income, recorded in “Net loss on indemnification asset” as discussed below in the section entitled “Non-interest income.” Therefore, the impact on our results of operations of any provision for (recovery of) loan losses on covered loans is significantly mitigated by the corresponding impact on non-interest income. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded provisions for losses on covered loans of $0.8 million and $4.8 million and increases in related non-interest income of $0.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Also see the section below entitled “Termination of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.”

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded provisions for loan losses of $7.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, related to new loans. These loans are not protected by the Loss Sharing Agreements and as such, these provisions are not offset by increases in non-interest income. The provision for losses on new loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related primarily to growth in the new loan portfolio. The provision for losses on new loans for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was driven primarily by losses of $12.3 million recognized on one commercial loan relationship, partially offset by updated loss factors applied in determining the ALLL, particularly for the new residential portfolio. See the section entitled “Analysis of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” below for further discussion.

Non-Interest Income

The Company reported non-interest income of $30.2 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table presents a comparison of the categories of non-interest income for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Non-interest income related to transactions in the covered assets

Table of Contents

Historically, a significant portion of our non-interest income has resulted from transactions related to the resolution of assets covered by our Loss Sharing Agreements with the FDIC. As covered assets continue to decline, we expect the impact of these transactions on results of operations to decrease.

The balance of the FDIC indemnification asset is reduced or increased as a result of decreases or increases in cash flows expected to be received from the FDIC related to the gains or losses recorded in our consolidated financial statements from transactions in the covered assets. When these transaction gains or losses are recorded, we also record an offsetting amount in the consolidated statement of income line item “Net loss on indemnification asset.” This line item includes the significantly mitigating impact of FDIC indemnification related to the following types of transactions in covered assets:

· gains or losses from the resolution of covered assets;

· provisions for (recoveries of) losses on covered loans;

· gains or losses on the sale of covered loans; and

· gains or losses on OREO.

Each of these types of transactions is discussed further below.

Covered loans may be resolved through prepayment, short sale of the underlying collateral, foreclosure, sale of the loans or charge-off. For loans resolved through prepayment, short sale or foreclosure, the difference between consideration received in resolution of the loans and the carrying value of the loans is recorded in the consolidated statement of income line item “Income from resolution of covered assets, net.” Both gains and losses on individual resolutions are included in this line item. Losses from the resolution of covered loans increase the amount recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Gains from the resolution of covered loans reduce the amount recoverable from the FDIC under the Loss Sharing Agreements. These additions to or reductions in amounts recoverable from the FDIC related to the resolution of covered loans are recorded in non-interest income in the line item “Net loss on indemnification asset” and reflected as corresponding increases or decreases in the FDIC indemnification asset. The amount of income or loss recorded in any period will be impacted by the amount of covered loans resolved, the amount of consideration received, and our ability to accurately project cash flows from ACI loans in future periods.

The following table provides further detail of the components of income from resolution of covered assets, net for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Payments in full	$	11,355		$	16,990
Foreclosures	(700		)	(2,340		)
Short sales	(238		)	(1,701		)
Charge-offs	(131		)	(583		)
Recoveries	2,775			6,824
Income from resolution of covered assets, net	$	13,061		$	19,190

Income from resolution of covered assets, net was $13.1 million and $19.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The decrease in reported income generally reflects reductions in the level of activity related to covered assets. The reduced level of activity is consistent with the overall reduction in the number of covered assets due to sales and resolutions, and to improvement in the quality of remaining covered assets. The substantial majority of income from resolution of covered assets has resulted from transactions covered under the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.

Table of Contents

Income from payments in full for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by $5.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease resulted from a reduction in the amount of paid in full resolutions and a decrease in average income per resolution. Average income per resolution declined in part due to updated cash flow forecasts, reflecting additional history with the performance of covered loans.

A decline in the level of foreclosure and short sale activity coupled with improving home prices led to decreases in losses on resolutions from foreclosures and short sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Recoveries decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to one large commercial loan recovery in the amount of $4.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Under the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC, the Bank may sell up to 2.5% of the covered loans based on UPB at the date of the FSB Acquisition, or approximately $280 million, on an annual basis without prior consent of the FDIC. Any losses incurred from such loan sales are covered under the Loss Sharing Agreements. Any loan sale in excess of this stipulated annual threshold requires approval from the FDIC to be eligible for loss share coverage. However, if the Bank seeks to sell residential or non-residential loans in excess of the 2.5% threshold in the nine months prior to the stated termination date of loss share coverage (May 21, 2014 for non-residential loans and May 21, 2019 for residential loans) and the FDIC refuses to consent, the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement and the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement will be extended for two additional years with respect to the loans requested to be included in such sales. The Bank will then have the right to sell all or any portion of such loans without FDIC consent at any time within the nine months prior to the extended termination dates, and any losses incurred will be covered under the Loss Sharing Agreements. This final sale mechanism, if exercised, ensures no residual credit risk in our covered loan portfolio that would otherwise arise from credit losses occurring after the termination dates of the Loss Sharing Agreements.

We recognized gains on the sale of covered loans of $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, of which $1.3 million related to sales of residential loans and $18.0 million related to sales of commercial and consumer loans. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we recognized losses of $0.8 million on the sale of covered residential loans. The improvement in results of the residential loan sales resulted from better pricing. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further information about the sales of covered residential loans. We anticipate that we will continue to exercise our right to sell covered residential loans on a quarterly basis in the future.

In accordance with the terms of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, the Bank requested and received approval from the FDIC to sell certain covered commercial and consumer loans and commercial OREO in the first quarter of 2014. Commercial and consumer loans with a carrying value of $86.5 million were transferred to loans held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair value, determined at the individual loan level, upon receipt of FDIC approval. A provision for loan losses in the amount of $3.5 million, representing the excess of carrying value over the fair value of specific loans, was recognized upon the transfer to loans held for sale. The Company sold these covered loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 receiving cash proceeds, net of transaction costs, in the amount of $101.0 million. The Company also sold commercial OREO properties with a carrying value of $1.3 million for cash proceeds of $0.8 million. The following table summarizes the impact of these transactions on pre-tax income, as reflected in the consolidated statements of income, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Gain on sale of covered loans	$	17,971
Provision for loan losses on transfer to loans held for sale	(3,469		)
Loss on sale of OREO	(524		)
Loss on indemnification asset	(1,737		)
	$	12,241

Additional impairment arising since the FSB Acquisition related to covered loans is recorded in earnings through the provision for losses on covered loans. Under the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements, the Company is

Table of Contents

entitled to recover from the FDIC a portion of losses on these loans; therefore, the discounted amount of additional expected cash flows from the FDIC related to these losses is recorded in non-interest income in the line item “Net loss on indemnification asset” and reflected as a corresponding increase in the FDIC indemnification asset. Alternatively, a recovery of the provision for loan losses related to covered loans results in a reduction in the amounts the Company expects to recover from the FDIC and a corresponding reduction in the FDIC indemnification asset and in non-interest income, reflected in the line item “Net loss on indemnification asset.”

The Company records impairment charges related to declines in the net realizable value of OREO properties subject to the Loss Sharing Agreements and recognizes additional gains or losses upon the eventual sale of such OREO properties. These amounts are included in non-interest expense in the consolidated financial statements. The estimated increase or reduction in amounts recoverable from the FDIC with respect to these gains and losses is reflected as an increase or decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset and in non-interest income in the line item “Net loss on indemnification asset.”

Net loss on indemnification asset of $16.9 million and $11.7 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, representing the net change in the FDIC indemnification asset from increases or decreases in cash flows estimated to be received from the FDIC related to gains and losses from covered assets as discussed in the preceding paragraphs. The net impact on earnings before taxes of these transactions related to covered assets for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $17.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as detailed in the following tables (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Table of Contents

Certain OREO and foreclosure related expenses associated with covered assets, including fees paid to attorneys and other service providers, property preservation costs, maintenance and repair costs, advances for taxes and insurance, appraisal costs and inspection costs are also reimbursed under the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements. Such expenses are recorded in non-interest expense when incurred, and the reimbursement is recorded as “FDIC reimbursement of costs of resolution of covered assets” in non-interest income when submitted to the FDIC, generally upon ultimate resolution of the underlying covered assets. This may result in the expense and the related income from reimbursements being recorded in different periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 non-interest expense included $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of such expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, claims of $1.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively, were submitted to the FDIC. As of March 31, 2014, $12.2 million of expenses incurred to date remained to be submitted for reimbursement from the FDIC in future periods.

Other components of non-interest income

Other non-interest income increased to $9.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from $5.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The most significant component of the increase was an increase of $2.9 million in rental income on operating leases, reflecting the growth of the portfolio of equipment under operating lease.

Non-Interest Expense

The Company reported non-interest expense of $102.5 million and $82.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
Employee compensation and benefits	$	49,449		$	43,075
Occupancy and equipment	16,967			15,042
Amortization of FDIC indemnification asset	15,741			2,280
(Gain) loss on other real estate owned, net (including (gain) loss related to covered OREO of $(2,806) and $249)	(2,677		)	249
Foreclosure and other real estate owned expense	980			1,373
Deposit insurance expense	2,252			1,937

Telecommunications and data processing	3,307			3,368
Other non-interest expense	13,012			10,043
	$	102,461		$	82,789

Employee compensation and benefits and occupancy and equipment

Employee compensation and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $6.4 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 while occupancy and equipment expense increased by $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. These increases related to the Company’s overall growth and its expansion into New York.

Amortization of FDIC indemnification asset

Amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset totaled $15.7 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The FDIC indemnification asset was initially recorded at its estimated fair value of $3.4 billion, representing the present value of estimated future cash payments from the FDIC for probable losses on covered assets. As projected cash flows from the ACI loans have increased, the yield on the loans has increased accordingly and the estimated future cash payments from the FDIC have decreased. This change in estimated cash flows is recognized prospectively, consistent with the recognition of the increased cash flows from the ACI loans. As a result, the FDIC indemnification asset is being amortized to the amount of the estimated future cash flows. For the

Table of Contents

three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the average rate at which the FDIC indemnification asset was amortized was 5.47% and 0.64%, respectively.

The rate of amortization will increase if estimated future cash payments from the FDIC decrease. The amount of amortization is impacted by both the change in the amortization rate and the decrease in the average balance of the indemnification asset. The average balance of the indemnification asset is decreasing as a result of the periodic amortization, losses on the indemnification asset partially offsetting gains recognized as a result of the positive resolution of covered assets and submission of claims and receipt of cash from the FDIC under the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements. As we continue to submit claims under the Loss Sharing Agreements and recognize periodic amortization, the balance of the indemnification asset will continue to decline.

A rollforward of the FDIC indemnification asset for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2014 follows (in thousands):

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	1,457,570
Amortization	(36,943		)
Reduction for claims filed	(164,872		)
Net loss on indemnification asset	(50,638		)
Balance, December 31, 2013	1,205,117
Amortization	(15,741		)
Reduction for claims filed	(41,048		)
Net loss on indemnification asset	(16,904		)
Balance, March 31, 2014	$	1,131,424

The following table presents the details of the FDIC indemnification asset at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Amounts attributable to:
Residential loans and OREO	$	1,137,065		$	1,202,066
Commercial loans and OREO	(5,641		)	2,281
Investment securities available for sale	—			770
FDIC indemnification asset	1,131,424			1,205,117
Less expected amortization	(223,857		)	(240,773		)
Amount expected to be collected from the FDIC	$	907,567		$	964,344

The amount of expected amortization reflects the impact of improvements in cash flows expected to be collected from the covered loans, as well as the impact of time value resulting from the discounting of the asset when it was initially established. This amount will be amortized to non-interest expense using the effective interest method over the period during which cash flows from the FDIC are expected to be collected, which is limited to the lesser of the contractual term of the Loss Sharing Agreements and the expected remaining life of the indemnified assets. The amounts attributable to commercial loans and OREO at March 31, 2014 represent amounts payable to the FDIC for transactions occurring prior to March 31, 2014.

OREO and foreclosure related components of non-interest expense

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, a substantial majority of the gains or losses recognized on the sale or impairment of OREO related to properties covered by the Loss Sharing Agreements. Therefore, gains or losses from sale or impairment of OREO were substantially offset by gains or losses related to indemnification by the FDIC recognized in non-interest income. Generally, OREO and foreclosure related expenses incurred on covered assets, which comprised the majority of OREO and foreclosure related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and all of OREO and foreclosure related expenses for three months ended March 31, 2013, are also eligible for reimbursement under the terms of the Loss Sharing Agreements.

Net (gain) loss on OREO totaled $(2.7) million, including gains on sales of OREO of $(2.6) million and recoveries of OREO impairment of $(64) thousand, for the three months ended March 31, 2014; and $0.2 million, including gains on sales of OREO of $(1.1) million and OREO impairment of $1.3 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The improvement in OREO impairment reflects continuing trends of lower levels of OREO and foreclosure activity and an improving real estate market.

The following tables summarize OREO sale activity for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014					2013
	Units sold	Percent of Total Units		Total Gain (Loss)		Units sold	Percent of Total Units		Total Gain (Loss)
Residential OREO sales	62	87.3	%	$	515	178	96.7	%	$	1,278

There were 160 and 912 residential units in the foreclosure pipeline and 145 and 328 residential units in OREO inventory at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Other components of non-interest expense

Professional fees decreased by $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to consulting and advisory fees incurred in 2013 related to regulatory compliance.

The most significant components of other non-interest expense are advertising and promotion, depreciation of equipment under operating lease, insurance, travel and general office expense. Period over period increases in other non-interest expense related primarily to general organic growth of our business. In addition, depreciation on equipment under operating lease of $1.9 million was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $530 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate decreased to 35.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 from 39.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This decrease primarily reflects the impact of increases in tax-exempt income and from state tax law changes enacted in the first quarter of 2014.

Termination of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement

FDIC loss sharing under the terms of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 21, 2014. At March 31, 2014, commercial and consumer loans with a carrying value of $91 million and investment securities available for sale with an amortized cost of $134 million and a carrying value of $209 million were covered under the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement. We will bear all credit risk with respect to these assets after the termination of FDIC loss sharing. The Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement provides for the Bank’s continued reimbursement for recoveries, as defined, to the FDIC through May 21, 2017.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Average interest-earning assets increased $2.9 billion to $13.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $10.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was driven by a $3.9 billion increase in the average balance of outstanding loans, partially offset by a $708 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities available for sale. The increase in average loans reflected growth of $4.3 billion in average new loans outstanding, partially offset by a $375 million decrease in the average balance of loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition. The decrease in average investment securities available for sale resulted primarily from the sale and repayment of investment securities. Average non-interest earning assets declined by $131 million. The most significant component of this decline was the decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset. Growth of the new loan portfolio, resolution of covered loans and declines in the amount of the FDIC indemnification asset are trends that are expected to continue.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased by $1.9 billion to $11.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $9.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to an increase of $1.4 billion in

Table of Contents

average interest bearing deposits and a $521 million increase in average FHLB advances. Average non-interest bearing deposits increased by $807 million.

Average stockholders’ equity increased by $133 million, due largely to the retention of earnings.

Investment securities available for sale totaled $3.5 billion at March 31, 2014 compared to $4.3 billion at December 31, 2013. The decline of the investment portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2014, reflected the deployment of a portion of the proceeds from the sale and repayment of securities to fund loan originations. Our investment strategy has focused on providing liquidity necessary for day-to-day operations, adding a suitable balance of high credit quality, diversifying assets to the consolidated balance sheet, managing interest rate risk, and generating acceptable returns given our established risk parameters. We have sought to maintain liquidity and manage interest rate risk by investing a significant portion of the portfolio in high quality liquid securities consisting primarily of U.S. Government agency floating rate mortgage-backed securities. We have also invested in highly rated structured products including private label residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, Re-Remics and non-mortgage asset-backed securities

collateralized by small balance commercial loans, auto loans and student loans as well as financial institution preferred stocks, state and municipal obligations and U.S. Small Business Administration securities that, while somewhat less liquid, provide us with higher yields. Relatively short effective portfolio duration helps mitigate interest rate risk arising from the currently low level of market interest rates. The weighted average expected life of the investment portfolio as of March 31, 2014 was 3.7 years and the effective duration was 2.0 years.

Regulations implementing the Volcker Rule were approved in December 2013. Among other provisions, the regulations generally will serve to prohibit us from holding an ownership interest, as defined, in a covered fund, also as defined. Although uncertainty remains as to how the regulations will be interpreted and implemented by regulatory authorities, there are Re-Remic securities in our portfolio that we believe may be deemed impermissible investments under the regulations. At March 31, 2014, we held Re-Remics with a carrying value of $252 million. At March 31, 2014, all but one of these securities were in unrealized gain positions; the one security in an unrealized loss position had a de-minimis unrealized loss of $18 thousand. The Re-Remics are an amortizing portfolio and we estimate that their carrying value will be significantly reduced through normal amortization and prepayments prior to the required compliance date. We will continue to evaluate our holdings in light of the newly issued regulations and any further interpretations or implementation guidance that may be forthcoming, if any. As currently promulgated, we must be in compliance with the regulations implementing the Volcker Rule by July 2015.

As discussed above in the section entitled “Results of Operations — Termination of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement”, FDIC loss share coverage on covered investment securities will end on May 21, 2014. Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement provisions providing a two-year extension of loss sharing for specific assets, if the FDIC does not approve a request for sale, do not apply to the covered investment securities.

Securities covered under the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement as of March 31, 2014 include private label residential mortgage-backed securities, mortgage-backed security mutual funds, trust preferred collateralized debt obligations, U.S. Government sponsored enterprise preferred stocks and corporate debt securities with an aggregate carrying value of $209 million.

The following table shows the scheduled maturities, carrying values and current yields for our investment portfolio as of March 31, 2014. Scheduled maturities have been adjusted for anticipated prepayments of mortgage-backed and other pass through securities. Yields on tax-exempt securities have been calculated on a tax-equivalent basis (dollars in thousands):

investment grade. The investment portfolio was in a net unrealized gain position of $133 million at March 31, 2014 with aggregate fair value equal to 104% of amortized cost. Net unrealized gains included $152 million of gross unrealized gains and $18 million of gross unrealized losses. Securities in unrealized loss positions for 12 months or more had an aggregate fair value of $49 million representing 1.4% of the fair value of the portfolio, with total unrealized losses of $2.4 million at March 31, 2014. Gross unrealized losses on covered securities for which loss share coverage is scheduled to terminate in May 2014 totaled $77 thousand at March 31, 2014.

We evaluate the credit quality of individual securities in the portfolio quarterly to determine whether any of the investments in unrealized loss positions are other-than-temporarily impaired. This evaluation considers, but is not necessarily limited to, the following factors, the relative significance of which varies depending on the circumstances pertinent to each individual security:

· our intent to hold the security until maturity or for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value;

· whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis;

· the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than amortized cost;

· adverse changes in expected cash flows;

· collateral values and performance;

· the payment structure of the security, including levels of subordination or over-collateralization;

· changes in the economic or regulatory environment;

· the general market condition of the geographic area or industry of the issuer;

· the issuer’s financial condition, performance and business prospects; and

· changes in credit ratings.

No securities were determined to be OTTI at March 31, 2014 and 2013.

We do not intend to sell securities in significant unrealized loss positions. Based on an assessment of our liquidity position and internal and regulatory guidelines for permissible investments and concentrations, it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell securities in significant unrealized loss positions prior to recovery of amortized cost basis. The severity and duration of impairment of individual securities in the portfolio is generally not material. Unrealized losses in the portfolio at March 31, 2014 were primarily attributable to an increase in medium and long-term market interest rates subsequent to the date the securities were acquired.

The timely repayment of principal and interest on U.S. Government agency and sponsored enterprise securities in unrealized loss positions is explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Management either engaged a third party to perform, or performed internally, projected cash flow analyses of the private label residential mortgage-backed securities, private label commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-mortgage asset-backed securities in unrealized loss positions, incorporating CUSIP level collateral default rate, voluntary prepayment rate, severity and delinquency assumptions. Based on the results of this analysis, no credit losses were projected. Given the expectation of timely repayment of principal and interest and the generally limited duration and severity of impairment, we concluded that none of the debt securities in unrealized loss positions were other-than-temporarily impaired.

For further discussion of our analysis of investment securities for OTTI, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

We use third-party pricing services to assist us in estimating the fair value of investment securities. We perform a variety of procedures to ensure that we have a thorough understanding of the methodologies and assumptions used by the pricing services including obtaining and reviewing written documentation of the methods and assumptions employed, conducting interviews with valuation desk personnel, performing on-site walkthroughs and reviewing model results and detailed assumptions used to value selected securities as considered necessary. Our classification of prices within the fair value hierarchy is based on an evaluation of the nature of the significant assumptions impacting the valuation of each type of security in the portfolio. We have established a robust price challenge process that includes a review by our treasury front office of all prices provided on a monthly basis. Any price evidencing unexpected month over month fluctuations or deviations from our expectations based on recent observed trading activity and other information available in the marketplace that would impact the value of the security is challenged. Responses to the price challenges, which generally include specific information about inputs and assumptions incorporated in the valuation and their sources, are reviewed in detail. If considered necessary to resolve any discrepancies, a price will be obtained from an additional independent valuation specialist. We do not typically adjust the prices provided, other than through this established challenge process. Our primary pricing services utilize observable inputs when available, and employ unobservable inputs and proprietary models only when observable inputs are not available. As a matter of course, the services validate prices by comparison to recent trading activity whenever such activity exists. Quotes obtained from the pricing services are typically non-binding.

We have also established a quarterly price validation process whereby we verify the prices provided by our primary pricing service for a sample of securities in the portfolio. Sample sizes vary based on the type of security being priced, with higher sample sizes applied to more difficult to value security types. Verification procedures may consist of obtaining prices from an additional outside source or internal modeling, generally based on Intex. We have established acceptable percentage deviations from the price provided by the initial pricing source. If deviations fall outside the established parameters, we will obtain and evaluate more detailed information about the assumptions and inputs used by each pricing source or, if considered necessary, employ an additional valuation specialist to price the security in question. When there are price discrepancies, the final determination of fair value is based on careful consideration of the assumptions and inputs employed by each of the pricing sources given our knowledge of the market for each individual security and may include interviews with the outside pricing sources utilized. Depending on the results of the validation process, sample sizes may be extended for particular classes of securities. Results of the validation process are reviewed by the treasury front office and by senior management.

The majority of our investment securities are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain preferred stocks are classified within level 1 of the hierarchy. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 5.4% and 5.6%, respectively, of our investment securities were classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Securities classified within level 3 of the hierarchy at March 31, 2014 included certain private label residential mortgage-backed securities and trust preferred securities. These securities were classified within level 3 of the hierarchy because proprietary assumptions related to voluntary prepayment rates, default probabilities and loss severities were considered significant to the valuation. There were no transfers of investment securities between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

For additional discussion of the fair values of investment securities, see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Total loans, net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs, increased by $920 million to $10.0 billion at March 31, 2014, from $9.1 billion at December 31, 2013. New loans grew by $1.1 billion while loans acquired in the FSB Acquisition declined by $166 million from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014. New residential loans grew by $142 million, new commercial loans grew by $859 million and new consumer loans increased by $85 million during the three months

Table of Contents

ended March 31, 2014. Residential loan growth was attributable primarily to purchases of residential mortgages through established correspondent channels.

Growth in new loans, net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included $368 million for the Florida franchise, $406 million for the New York franchise and $312 million for what we refer to as national platforms, consisting of our residential loan purchase program, our mortgage warehouse lending operations, the Bank’s three commercial lending subsidiaries and our indirect auto platform. Growth for the national platforms included $131 million, $93 million and $83 million attributable to purchased residential mortgages, the lending subsidiaries and indirect auto lending, respectively. At March 31, 2014, $3.5 billion or 41%, $2.0 billion or 23% and $3.1 billion or 36% of the new portfolio was attributable to the Florida and New York regions and national platforms, respectively. The percentage of the new portfolio attributable to the New York region is expected to continue to grow.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 respectively, 13% and 16% of loans, net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs, were covered loans. Covered loans are declining and new loans increasing as a percentage of the total portfolio as covered loans are repaid or resolved and new loan originations and purchases increase. This trend is expected to continue.

Residential Mortgages

Residential mortgages totaled $3.2 billion, or 31.9% of total loans and $3.1 billion, or 34.3% of total loans at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decline in this portfolio segment as a percentage of loans is a result of a strategic emphasis on commercial lending and the resolution of covered loans, including transfers to OREO, partially offset by residential loan purchases and to a lesser extent, originations.

The new residential loan portfolio includes both originated and purchased loans. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $181 million or 9.4% and $170 million or 9.5%, respectively, of our new 1-4 single family residential loans were originated loans; $1.8 billion or 90.6% and $1.6 billion or 90.5%, respectively, of our new 1-4 single family residential loans were purchased loans. We currently originate 1-4 single family residential mortgage loans with terms ranging from 10 to 30 years, with either fixed or adjustable interest rates, primarily to customers in Florida and New York. New residential mortgage loans are primarily closed-end first lien loans for the purchase or re-finance of owner occupied property. We have purchased loans to supplement our mortgage origination platform and to geographically diversify our loan portfolio. The purchased residential portfolio consists primarily of jumbo mortgages on owner-occupied properties. At March 31, 2014, 14.1% of the purchased residential loan portfolio was comprised of interest-only loans, substantially all of which begin amortizing 10 years after origination. The number of newly originated residential mortgage loans that are re-financings of covered loans is not significant.

Home equity loans and lines of credit are not significant to the new loan portfolio.

We do not originate option adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”), “no-doc” or “reduced-doc” mortgages and do not utilize wholesale mortgage origination channels although the covered loan portfolio contains loans with these characteristics. The Company’s exposure to future losses on these mortgage loans is mitigated by the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.

Commercial loans

The commercial portfolio segment includes loans secured by multi-family properties, loans secured by both owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate, construction loans, land loans, commercial and industrial loans and direct financing leases.

Commercial real estate loans include term loans secured by owner and non-owner occupied income producing properties including rental apartments, mixed-use properties, industrial properties, retail shopping centers, office buildings, warehouse facilities and hotels as well as real estate secured lines of credit. Loans secured by commercial real estate typically have shorter repayment periods and re-price more frequently than 1-4 single family residential loans but may have longer terms and re-price less frequently than commercial and industrial loans. The Company’s underwriting standards generally provide for loan terms of five to ten years, with amortization schedules

Table of Contents

of no more than thirty years. Loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios are typically limited to no more than 80%. In addition, the Company usually obtains personal guarantees or carve-out guarantees of the principals as an additional enhancement for commercial real estate loans. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans typically have risk profiles more closely aligned with that of commercial and industrial loans than with other types of commercial real estate loans. Construction and land loans represented less than 2% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2014. Construction and land loans are generally made for projects expected to stabilize within twelve months of completion in submarkets with strong fundamentals and to a lesser extent for-sale residential projects to experienced developers with a strong cushion between market prices and loan basis. At March 31, 2014, the carrying value of construction loans with available interest reserves totaled $63 million; the amount of available interest reserves totaled $3 million. All of these loans were rated “pass” at March 31, 2014.

Commercial loans are typically made to small and middle market businesses and include equipment loans, secured and unsecured working capital facilities, formula-based loans, mortgage warehouse lines, taxi medallion loans, lease financing, Small Business Administration product offerings and, to a lesser extent, acquisition finance credit facilities. These loans may be structured as term loans, typically with maturities of three to seven years, or revolving lines of credit which may have multi-year maturities. Commercial loans also include shared national credits totaling $590 million at March 31, 2014, for borrowers in our geographic footprint. Through three wholly-owned lending subsidiaries, the Company provides small business equipment financing, franchise lending, municipal essential use equipment financing and bond refundings throughout the United States and certain transportation equipment financing to businesses and municipalities throughout North America. This financing may take the form of term loans or leases.

Management’s loan origination strategy is heavily focused on the commercial portfolio segment, which comprised 74.0% and 73.2% of new loans as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. New commercial loans that represent re-financings of covered loans are not significant.

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans are comprised primarily of indirect auto loans, representing 95.4% of new consumer loans at March 31, 2014. The consumer portfolio also includes consumer installment financing, loans secured by certificates of deposit, unsecured personal lines of credit and demand deposit account overdrafts. At March 31, 2014, the substantial majority of indirect auto loans were to borrowers in Florida, New York and New Jersey. At March 31, 2014, 50% of the indirect auto portfolio was new car financing and 50% was used car financing. To mitigate compliance risk with respect to the indirect auto business, we have put in place dealer due diligence and monitoring processes and have initiated a detailed internal review process. Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company made the decision to terminate our indirect auto lending activities. We are currently evaluating our future plans for the existing indirect auto loan portfolio.

Asset Quality

In discussing asset quality, a distinction must be made between covered loans and new loans. New loans were underwritten under significantly different and generally more conservative standards than the covered loans. In particular, credit approval policies have been strengthened, wholesale mortgage origination channels have been eliminated, “no-doc” and option ARM loan products have been eliminated, and real estate appraisal policies have been improved. Although the risk profile of covered loans is higher than that of new loans, our exposure to loss related to the covered loans is significantly mitigated by the Loss Sharing Agreements and by the fair value basis recorded in these loans resulting from the application of acquisition accounting. The Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 21, 2014. Certain loans currently eligible for FDIC loss sharing will no longer be eligible for loss sharing after that date. For further discussion, see the section entitled “Results of Operations — Termination of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.” At March 31, 2014, covered loans totaled $1.3 billion, of which 93% were covered under the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement and 7% were covered under the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement. The Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement is scheduled to terminate in May 2019.

We have established a robust credit risk management framework and put in place an experienced team to lead the workout and recovery process for the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. We have also

Table of Contents

implemented a dedicated internal loan review function that reports directly to our Audit and Risk Committee. We have an experienced resolution team in place for covered residential mortgage loans, and have implemented outsourcing arrangements with industry leading firms in certain areas such as OREO resolution.

Loan performance is monitored by our credit administration, workout and recovery and loan review departments. Commercial loans are regularly reviewed by our internal loan review department. Relationships with committed balances greater than $1 million are reviewed at least annually. The Company utilizes a 13 grade internal asset risk classification system as part of its efforts to monitor and improve commercial asset quality. Loans exhibiting potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention and that if left uncorrected may result in deterioration of the repayment capacity of the borrower are categorized as special mention. These borrowers may exhibit negative financial trends or erratic financial performance, strained liquidity, marginal collateral coverage, declining industry trends or weak management. Loans with well-defined credit weaknesses that may result in a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected are assigned a risk rating of substandard. These borrowers may exhibit payment defaults, insufficient cash flows, operating losses, increasing balance sheet leverage, project cost overruns, unreasonable construction delays, exhausted interest reserves, or declining collateral values. Loans with weaknesses so severe that collection in full is highly questionable or improbable, but because of certain reasonably specific pending factors have not been charged off, are assigned risk ratings of doubtful.

Residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are not individually risk rated. Delinquency status is the primary measure we use to monitor the credit quality of these loans. We also consider original LTV and FICO score to be significant indicators of credit quality for the new 1-4 single family residential portfolio and FICO score to be a significant indicator of credit quality for the new consumer indirect auto portfolio.

New Loans

Commercial

The ongoing asset quality of significant commercial loans is monitored on an individual basis through our regular credit review and risk rating process. We believe internal risk rating is the best indicator of the credit quality of commercial loans. Homogenous groups of smaller balance commercial loans may be monitored collectively.

At March 31, 2014, new commercial loans with aggregate balances of $11 million, $26 million and $7 million were rated special mention, substandard and doubtful, respectively. At December 31, 2013, new commercial loans aggregating $8 million, $26 million and $10 million were rated special mention, substandard and doubtful, respectively. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for more detailed information about risk rating of new commercial loans.

Residential

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, new 1-4 single family residential loans totaling $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, were 90 days or more past due. New 1-4 single family residential loans past due less than 90 days totaled $4 million and $3 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The majority of our new residential mortgage portfolio consists of loans purchased through established correspondent channels. The credit parameters for purchasing loans are similar to the underwriting guidelines in place for our mortgage origination platform. For purchasing seasoned loans, good payment history is required. In general, we purchase performing jumbo mortgage loans which have FICO scores above 700, primarily are owner-occupied and full documentation, and have a current LTV of 80% or less. We perform due diligence on the purchased loans for credit, compliance, counterparty, payment history and property valuation.

The following table shows the distribution of new 1-4 single family residential loans by original FICO and LTV at the dates indicated (in thousands):

	$	109,256	$	171,619	$	283,671	$	1,263,234	$	1,827,780

At March 31, 2014, 82% of new 1-4 single family residential loans with LTV of more than 80% were insured by the Federal Housing Administration.

At March 31, 2014, the purchased loan portfolio had the following characteristics: 42.3% were fixed rate loans; substantially all were full documentation with an average FICO score of 768 and average LTV of 64.6%. The majority of this portfolio was owner-occupied, with 94.2% primary residence, 5.2% second homes and 0.6% investment properties. In terms of vintage, 15.1% of the portfolio was originated pre-2012, 22.8% in 2012, 59.6% in 2013 and 2.5% in 2014.

Similarly, the originated loan portfolio had the following characteristics at March 31, 2014: 62.0% were fixed rate loans, 100% were full documentation with an average FICO score of 761 and average LTV of 62.2%. The majority of this portfolio was owner-occupied, with 88.4% primary residence, 10.6% second homes and 1.0% investment properties. In terms of vintage, 14.1% of the portfolio was originated pre-2012, 19.8% in 2012, 56.4% in 2013 and 9.7% in 2014.

Consumer

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, delinquent new consumer loans were insignificant.

The majority of our new consumer portfolio consists of indirect auto loans. In general, we originate indirect auto loans to applicants who are well qualified; the average FICO score for indirect auto loans at March 31, 2014 was 732. The indirect auto portfolio at March 31, 2014 was comprised of 39% super-prime, 45% prime and 16% non-prime paper.

Covered Loans

Covered loans consist of both ACI loans and non-ACI loans. At March 31, 2014, covered ACI loans totaled $1.1 billion and covered non-ACI loans totaled $183 million, net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs.

Residential

Covered residential loans were placed into homogenous pools at the time of the FSB Acquisition and the ongoing credit quality and performance of these loans is monitored on a pool basis. The fair value of the pools was initially measured based on the expected cash flows from each pool. Initial cash flow expectations incorporated significant assumptions regarding prepayment rates, frequency of default and loss severity. For ACI pools, the

Table of Contents

difference between total contractual payments due and the cash flows expected to be received at acquisition was recognized as non-accretable difference. The excess of expected cash flows over the recorded fair value of each ACI pool at acquisition, known as the accretable yield, is being recognized as interest income over the life of each pool. We monitor the pools quarterly to determine whether any significant changes have occurred in expected cash flows that would be indicative of impairment or necessitate reclassification between non-accretable difference and accretable yield. Generally, improvements in expected cash flows less than 1% of the expected cash flows from a pool are not recorded. This materiality threshold may be revised in the future based on management’s judgment.

Residential mortgage loans, including home equity loans, comprised 87.8% of the UPB of the acquired loan portfolio at the FSB Acquisition date. We performed a detailed analysis of the portfolio to determine the key loan characteristics influencing performance. Key characteristics influencing the performance of the residential mortgage portfolio, including home equity loans, were determined to be delinquency status; product type, in particular, amortizing as opposed to option ARM products; current indexed LTV ratio; and original FICO score. The ACI loans in the residential mortgage portfolio were grouped into ten homogenous static pools based on these characteristics, and the non-ACI residential loans were grouped into two homogenous static pools. There were other variables which we initially expected to have a significant influence on performance and which were considered in our analysis; however, the results of our analysis demonstrated that their impact was less significant after controlling for current indexed LTV, product type, and FICO score. Therefore, these additional factors were not used in grouping the covered residential loans into pools and are not used in monitoring ongoing asset quality of the pools. The factors we considered but determined not to be significant included the level and type of documentation required at origination, i.e., whether a loan was originated under full documentation, reduced documentation, or no documentation programs; occupancy, defined as owner occupied vs. non-owner occupied collateral properties; geography; and vintage, i.e., year of origination.

At March 31, 2014, the carrying value of 1-4 single family residential non-ACI loans was $58 million; $2 million or 3.0% of these loans were 30 days or more past due and $33 thousand were 90 days or more past due. At March 31, 2014, ACI 1-4 single family residential loans totaled $1.0 billion; $74 million or 7.3% of these loans were delinquent by 30 days or more and $43 million or 4.3% were delinquent by 90 days or more. At March 31, 2014, the amount of 1-4 single family residential non-ACI loans to borrowers who have not reaffirmed their debt discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy was insignificant.

At March 31, 2014, non-ACI home equity loans and lines of credit had an aggregate carrying value of $121 million; $8 million or 7.0% of these loans were 30 days or more past due and $7 million or 5.5% were 90 days or more past due. ACI home equity loans and lines of credit had a carrying amount of $38 million at March 31, 2014; $5 million or 12.7% of ACI home equity loans and lines of credit were 30 days or more contractually delinquent and $4 million or 10.4% were delinquent by 90 days or more.

Additional information regarding ACI and non-ACI home equity loans and lines of credit at March 31, 2014 is summarized as follows:

	ACI		Non-ACI
Lien position:
First liens	7.9	%	9.1	%
Second or third liens	92.1	%	90.9	%
	100.0	%	100.0	%

Expected loss severity given default is significantly higher for home equity loans that are not first liens. The amount of performing home equity loans and lines of credit in a second or third lien position with a non-performing underlying first lien was insignificant at March 31, 2014.

Although delinquencies in the covered residential portfolio are high, potential future losses to the Company related to these loans are significantly mitigated by the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.

Table of Contents

Commercial

The Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement is scheduled to terminate on May 21, 2014. Commercial and consumer loans currently eligible for FDIC loss sharing will no longer be eligible for loss sharing after that date. For further discussion, see the section entitled “Results of Operations — Termination of the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.”

In the first quarter of 2014, we requested and received approval from the FDIC to sell, and completed the sale of, certain covered commercial and consumer loans. See further discussion of the sale above in the section entitled “Results of Operations — Non-Interest Income”. The majority of the covered commercial and consumer loans exhibiting credit weaknesses were included in the sale. Loans not included in the sale represent performing relationships that management has made a business decision to retain or loans that are expected to resolve with no loss.

At March 31, 2014, non-ACI commercial loans had an aggregate recorded investment of $5 million; no significant balances were 90 days or more past due or were rated special mention, substandard or doubtful.

At March 31, 2014, ACI commercial loans had a carrying value of $107 million. At March 31, 2014, loans with aggregate carrying values of $0.9 million were 90 days or more past due and $9 million and $0.1 million were internally risk rated substandard and doubtful, respectively. At March 31, 2014, there were no ACI commercial loans rated special mention.

Impaired Loans and Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets generally consist of (i) non-accrual loans, including loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and placed on non-accrual status or that have not yet exhibited a consistent six month payment history, (ii) accruing loans that are more than 90 days contractually past due as to interest or principal, excluding ACI loans, and (iii) OREO. Impaired loans also typically include loans modified in TDRs that are performing according to their modified terms and ACI loans for which expected cash flows have been revised downward since acquisition (as adjusted for any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimates after acquisition). Impaired ACI loans or pools with remaining accretable yield have not been classified as non-accrual loans and we do not consider them to be non-performing assets. Historically and as of March 31, 2014, the majority of impaired loans and non-performing assets were covered assets. The Company’s exposure to loss related to covered assets is significantly mitigated by the Loss Sharing Agreements and by the fair value basis recorded in these assets resulting from the application of acquisition accounting.

The following table summarizes the Company’s impaired loans and non-performing assets at the dates indicated (in thousands):

(2) Includes TDRs on accrual status at December 31, 2013.

(3) Total loans for purposes of calculating these ratios are net of premiums, discounts and deferred fees and costs.

(4) Ratio for non-covered assets is calculated as non-performing non-covered assets to total assets.

(5) Annualized.

Contractually delinquent ACI loans with remaining accretable yield are not reflected as non-accrual loans because accretable yield continues to be accreted into income. Accretion continues to be recorded as long as there is an expectation of future cash flows in excess of carrying amount from these loans. The carrying value of ACI loans contractually delinquent by more than 90 days but on which income was still being recognized was $48 million and $78 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The decline in the ratio of the ALLL to total loans for the new portfolio at March 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 is primarily a result of a decrease in the amount of specific reserves for impaired loans. The additional decline in the ratio of the ALLL to total loans is primarily related to the sale of a majority of covered commercial and consumer loans that were impaired at December 31, 2013. See the section entitled “Analysis of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” below for a further discussion of the methodology we use to determine the amount of the ALLL.

New and non-ACI commercial loans are placed on non-accrual status when (i) management has determined that full repayment of all contractual principal and interest is in doubt, or (ii) the loan is past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. New and non-ACI residential and consumer loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when 90 days of interest is due and unpaid. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, uncollected interest accrued is reversed and charged to interest income. Commercial loans are returned to accrual status only after all past due principal and interest has been collected and

Table of Contents

full repayment of remaining contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured. Residential loans are returned to accrual status when less than 90 days of interest is due and unpaid. Past due status of loans is determined based on the contractual next payment due date. Loans less than 30 days past due are reported as current. Except for ACI loans accounted for in pools, loans that are the subject of TDRs are generally placed on non-accrual status at the time of the modification unless the borrower has no history of missed payments for six months prior to the restructuring. If borrowers perform pursuant to the modified loan terms for at least six months and the remaining loan balances are considered collectable, the loans are returned to accrual status.

A loan modification is considered a TDR if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise grant. These concessions may take the form of temporarily or permanently reduced interest rates, payment abatement periods, restructuring of payment terms, extensions of maturity at below market terms, or in some cases, partial forgiveness of principal. Under generally accepted accounting principles, modified ACI loans accounted for in pools are not accounted for as TDRs and are not separated from their respective pools when modified. Included in TDRs are residential loans to borrowers who have not reaffirmed their debt discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The total amount of such loans is not material. To date, TDRs have not had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

As of March 31, 2014, 8 commercial loans with an aggregate carrying value of $8 million and 21 residential loans with an aggregate carrying value of $6 million had been modified in TDRs and were included in impaired loans and non-performing assets. Because of the immateriality of the amount of loans modified in TDRs and nature of the modifications, the modifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013. For additional information about TDRs, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Additional interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans and TDRs had they performed in accordance with their original contractual terms is not material for any period presented.

Potential Problem Loans

Potential problem loans have been identified by management as those loans included in the “substandard accruing” risk rating category. These loans are typically performing, but possess specifically identified credit weaknesses that, if not remedied, may lead to a downgrade to non-accrual status and identification as impaired in the near-term. Substandard accruing new loans totaled $13 million at March 31, 2014. The majority of these loans were current as to principal and interest at March 31, 2014. There were no substandard accruing non-ACI loans at March 31, 2014.

Loss Mitigation Strategies

We evaluate each loan in default to determine the most effective loss mitigation strategy, which may be modification, short sale, or foreclosure. We offer loan modifications under HAMP to eligible borrowers in the residential portfolio. HAMP is a uniform loan modification process that provides eligible borrowers with sustainable monthly mortgage payments equal to a target 31% of their gross monthly income. As of March 31, 2014, 12,376 borrowers had been counseled regarding their participation in HAMP; 9,085 of those borrowers were initially determined to be potentially eligible for loan modifications under the program. As of March 31, 2014, 1,542 borrowers who did not elect to participate in the program had been sent termination letters and 3,324 borrowers had been denied due to ineligibility. There were 4,179 permanent loan modifications and 76 trial loan modifications at March 31, 2014. Substantially all of these modified loans were ACI loans accounted for in pools.

Analysis of the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The ALLL relates to (i) new loans, (ii) estimated additional losses arising on non-ACI loans subsequent to the FSB Acquisition, and (iii) additional impairment recognized as a result of decreases in expected cash flows on ACI loans due to further credit deterioration. The impact of any additional provision for losses on covered loans is significantly mitigated by an increase in the FDIC indemnification asset. The determination of the amount of the ALLL is, by nature, highly complex and subjective. Future events that are inherently uncertain could result in

Table of Contents

material changes to the level of the ALLL. General economic conditions including but not limited to unemployment rates, real estate values in our primary market areas and the level of interest rates, as well as a variety of other factors that affect the ability of borrowers’ businesses to generate cash flows sufficient to service their debts will impact the future performance of the portfolio.

New and non-ACI Loans

Due to the lack of similarity between the risk characteristics of new loans and covered loans in the residential and home equity portfolios, management does not believe it is appropriate to use the historical performance of the covered residential mortgage portfolio as a basis for calculating the ALLL applicable to new loans. The new loan portfolio is not seasoned and has not yet developed an observable loss trend. Therefore, the ALLL for new residential loans is based primarily on relevant proxy historical loss rates. The ALLL for new 1-4 single family residential loans is estimated using one year loss rates on prime residential mortgage securitizations issued between 2003 and 2008 as a proxy. Based on the comparability of FICO scores and LTV ratios between loans included in those securitizations and loans in the Bank’s portfolio and the geographic diversity in the new purchased residential portfolio, we determined that prime residential mortgage securitizations provide an appropriate proxy for expected losses in this portfolio class.

A peer group eight quarter average charge-off rate is used to estimate the ALLL for the new home equity loan class. See further discussion of the use of peer group loss factors below. The new home equity portfolio is not a significant component of the overall loan portfolio.

Based on an updated analysis of historical performance, OREO and short sale losses, recent trending data and other internal and external factors, we have concluded that historical performance by portfolio class is the best indicator of incurred loss for the non-ACI 1-4 single family residential and home equity portfolio classes. For each of these portfolio classes, a quarterly roll rate matrix is calculated by delinquency bucket to measure the rate at which loans move from one delinquency bucket to the next during a given quarter. An average four quarter roll rate matrix is used to estimate the amount within each delinquency bucket expected to roll to 120+ days delinquent. We assume no cure for those loans that are currently 120+ days delinquent. A 12 month loss emergence period is being utilized. Loss severity given default is estimated based on internal data about OREO sales and short sales from the portfolio. The ALLL calculation incorporates a 100% loss severity assumption for home equity loans that are projected to roll to default.

Since the new commercial loan portfolio is not yet seasoned enough to exhibit a loss trend and the non-ACI commercial portfolio has limited delinquency history, the ALLL for new and non-ACI commercial loans is based primarily on peer group average annual historical charge-off rates by loan class and the Company’s internal credit risk rating system. The allowance is comprised of specific reserves for loans that are individually evaluated and determined to be impaired as well as general reserves for individually evaluated loans determined not to be impaired and loans that do not meet our established threshold for individual evaluation. Commercial relationships graded substandard or doubtful and on non-accrual status with committed credit facilities greater than or equal to $750,000 are individually evaluated for impairment. For loans evaluated individually for impairment and determined to be impaired, a specific allowance is established based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the estimated fair value of the loan, or for collateral dependent loans, the estimated fair value of collateral less costs to sell. Loans modified in TDRs are also evaluated individually for impairment. We believe that loans rated substandard or doubtful that are not individually evaluated for impairment exhibit characteristics indicative of a heightened level of credit risk. Loss factors for these loans are determined by using default frequency and severity information applied at the loan level. Estimated default frequencies and severities are based on available industry data.

The peer groups used to calculate the average annual historical charge-off rates that form the basis for our general reserve calculations for new and non-ACI commercial and new home equity and consumer loans are banks with total assets ranging from $3 — $15 billion. We use a peer group of 23 banks in the U.S. Southeast region for loans originated in our Florida market and by our lending subsidiaries, and a peer group of 16 banks in the New York region for loans originated in our New York market. These peer groups include all of the banks in each region within the defined asset size range. Peer bank data is obtained from the Statistics on Depository Institutions Report published by the FDIC for the most recent quarter available. An eight-quarter average net charge-off rate is used.

We evaluate the composition of the peer groups annually, or more frequently if, in our judgment, a more frequent evaluation is necessary. The general loss factor for municipal lease receivables is based on a cumulative municipal default curve for obligations of credit quality comparable to those in the Company’s portfolio.

Our internal risk rating system comprises 13 credit grades; grades 1 through 8 are “pass” grades. The risk ratings are driven largely by debt service coverage. Peer group average annual historical loss rates are adjusted upward for loans rated special mention or assigned a lower “pass” rating. Prior to 2014, peer group average annual historical loss rates were adjusted downward for loans assigned the highest “pass” grades. As peer group average annual historical loss rates have declined over the last year, the downward adjustment for loans assigned the highest “pass” grades has been eliminated.

Qualitative adjustments are made to the ALLL when, based on management’s judgment, there are internal or external factors impacting loss frequency and severity not taken into account by the quantitative calculations. Management has grouped potential qualitative adjustments into the following categories:

· Portfolio performance trends, including levels of delinquencies and non-performing loans;

· Portfolio growth rates;

· Exceptions to policy and credit guidelines;

· Economic factors, including changes in and levels of real estate price indices, unemployment rates and GDP;

· Credit concentrations; and

· Changes in credit administration management and staff.

At March 31, 2014, qualitative adjustments were made to historical loss percentages related to:

· economic factors, specifically changes in real estate price indices, unemployment rates and GDP;

· the level of non-performing commercial loans;

· changes in credit administration staff;

· loan portfolio growth rates; and

· the level of policy and procedural exceptions.

For non-ACI residential loans, the allowance is initially calculated based on UPB. The total of UPB, less the calculated allowance, is then compared to the carrying amount of the loans, net of unamortized credit related fair value adjustments established at acquisition. If the calculated balance net of the allowance is less than the carrying amount, an additional allowance is established. Any such increase in the allowance for non-ACI loans will result in a corresponding increase in the FDIC indemnification asset.

ACI Loans

For ACI loans, a valuation allowance is established when periodic evaluations of expected cash flows reflect a decrease resulting from credit related factors from the level of cash flows that were estimated to be collected at acquisition plus any additional expected cash flows arising from revisions in those estimates. We perform a quarterly analysis of expected cash flows for ACI loans.

Expected cash flows are estimated on a pool basis for ACI 1-4 single family residential and home equity loans. The analysis of expected pool cash flows incorporates updated pool level expected prepayment rate, default rate, delinquency level and loss severity given default assumptions. Prepayment, delinquency and default curves are

Table of Contents

derived primarily from roll rates generated from the historical performance of the portfolio over the immediately preceding four quarters. Estimates of default probability and loss severity given default also incorporate updated LTV ratios, at the loan level, based on Case-Shiller Home Price Indices for the relevant MSA. Costs and fees represent an additional component of loss on default and are projected using the “Making Home Affordable” cost factors provided by the Federal government. The ACI home equity roll rates reflect elevated default probabilities as a result of delinquent, related senior liens and loans to borrowers who have not reaffirmed their debt discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Based on our projected cash flow analysis, no ALLL related to 1-4 single family residential and home equity ACI pools was recorded at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

The primary assumptions underlying estimates of expected cash flows for ACI commercial loans are default probability and severity of loss given default. Following the sale of commercial ACI loans in March 2014, assessments of default probability and severity are based on net realizable value analyses prepared at the individual loan level.

We recorded provisions for loan losses on ACI commercial loans of $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Provisions for loan losses of $2.7 million recorded in connection with the transfer of ACI commercial loans to the held for sale classification were partially offset by recoveries of loan losses, based on our loan level analysis. We recorded recoveries of loan losses on ACI commercial loans of $(1.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, based on our loan level analysis. Related increases (decreases) in the FDIC indemnification asset of $1.8 million and $(1.2) million were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The following table provides an analysis of the ALLL, provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

The increase in the balance of the ALLL for new loans at March 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013 reflects the growth of the new loan portfolio across all significant loan categories. The peer group net charge-off rates used in the calculation of the quantitative portion of general reserves declined for most commercial and

Table of Contents

commercial real estate loan types for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The impact of the declines in net charge-off rates was substantially offset by the elimination of favorable adjustments to peer group net charge-off rates for loans assigned the highest pass ratings, as discussed above, and by an increase in the qualitative factor for portfolio growth trends. Other significant components of the change in the ALLL at March 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, 2013, include:

· A decrease of $2.9 million for ACI commercial loans, primarily as a result of the sale of impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014;

· A decrease of $1.9 million for non-ACI home equity loans, attributable primarily to an improvement in roll rates;

· A decrease of $2.1 million in specific reserves in the new commercial and industrial category;

· An increase of $1.4 million for new construction and land loans, attributable to an increase in peer group net charge-off rates as well as growth of the portfolio; and

· A decrease of $1.2 million for new lease financing, due primarily to a decrease in the quantitative loss factor applied to municipal leases.

For additional information about the ALLL, see Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Equipment under Operating Lease

Equipment under operating lease consists of railcar equipment we have purchased and leased to North American commercial end-users, predominantly companies in the petroleum/natural gas extraction and railroad line-haul industries. These equipment leases provide additional diversity in asset classes, geography and financing structures, with the potential for attractive after-tax returns. There were no significant changes in the portfolio of equipment under operating lease or in the performance of lessees during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. There were no impairments of residuals or asset carrying values, missed payments, time off lease or restructurings related to the operating lease portfolio during the quarter.

The decrease in OREO reflects the sale of covered commercial OREO properties during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 in conjunction with the covered commercial loan sale discussed above as well as continued efforts to resolve non-performing covered residential assets and a decline in the volume of residential foreclosures. Residential OREO inventory declined to 145 units at March 31, 2014 from 157 units at December 31, 2013.

Capital Resources

Stockholders’ equity increased by $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due primarily to the retention of earnings. Stockholders’ equity was impacted to a lesser extent by changes in unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, on investment securities available for sale and cash flow hedges.

Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the federal banking agencies have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier system for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, BankUnited and the Company had capital levels that exceeded the well-capitalized guidelines.

The following table presents the Company’s regulatory capital ratios as of March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

	Actual				Required to be Considered Well Capitalized					Required to be Considered Adequately Capitalized
	Amount		Ratio		Amount			Ratio		Amount		Ratio
BankUnited, Inc.:
Tier 1 leverage	$	1,840,396	12.12	%	N/A		(1)	N/A	(1)	$	607,254	4.00	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	$	1,840,396	19.42	%	$	568,701		6.00	%	$	379,134	4.00	%
Total risk based capital	$	1,920,839	20.27	%	$	947,836		10.00	%	$	758,268	8.00	%

(1) There is no Tier 1 leverage ratio component in the definition of a well-capitalized bank holding company.

On July 2, 2013 the Federal Reserve Board approved a final rule that implements the Basel III changes to the regulatory capital framework for all U.S. banking organizations. The Company is required to implement the final rule on January 1, 2015, with a phase-in period extending through January 1, 2019. The rule will add another risk-based capital category, common equity Tier 1 capital, increase the required tier 1 capital level, increase risk weights

Table of Contents

for certain of the Company’s investment securities, loans and other assets and add some complexity to the risk-based capital calculations. In addition, a capital conservation buffer will be phased in beginning in 2016. In order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, a banking organization must hold this capital conservation buffer composed of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements. As of March 31, 2014, the adoption of the rule would not have impacted our capital categories.

Liquidity

Liquidity involves our ability to generate adequate funds to support planned asset growth, particularly growth of the new loan portfolio, meet deposit withdrawal requests and other contractual obligations, maintain reserve requirements, conduct routine operations and pay dividends.

Our consolidated statements of cash flows have historically reflected net cash outflows from operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $18.6 million and $67.1 million, respectively. The primary driver of cash outflows from operations reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows is accretion on ACI loans, which is reflected as a non-cash reduction in net income to arrive at operating cash flows. Accretion on ACI loans totaled $91.5 million and $410.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. Accretable yield on ACI loans represents the excess of expected future cash flows over the carrying amount of the loans, and is recognized as interest income over the expected lives of the loans. Amounts recorded as accretion are realized in cash as individual loans are paid down or otherwise resolved; however, the timing of cash realization may differ from the timing of income recognition. These cash flows from the repayment or resolution of covered loans, inclusive of amounts that have been accreted through earnings over time, are recognized as cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows upon receipt. Cash payments from the FDIC in the form of reimbursements of losses related to the covered loans under the Loss Sharing Agreements are also characterized as investing cash flows. These reimbursements from the FDIC totaled $41.0 million and $164.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively; for both periods, exceeding net operating cash outflows. Both cash generated by the repayment and resolution of covered loans and cash payments received from the FDIC have been and are expected to continue to be consistent and relatively predictable sources of liquidity available to fund operating needs, dividends to BankUnited, Inc. and new loan growth. Cash generated by the repayment and resolution of covered loans totaled $282.8 million and $841.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

While we anticipate that the level of accretion on ACI loans will continue to result in reporting cash outflows from operating activities in the near term, the percentage of assets comprised of ACI loans and percentage of interest income comprised of ACI accretion is continuing to decrease. Cash flows from resolution of the covered loans will ultimately be replaced by operating cash flows from new assets originated with those proceeds. In addition to cash provided by the repayment and resolution of covered loans and payments under the Loss Sharing Agreements from the FDIC, BankUnited’s liquidity needs, particularly liquidity to fund growth of the new loan portfolio, have been and continue to be met by deposit growth, its amortizing investment portfolio and, to a lesser extent, FHLB advances.

BankUnited has access to additional liquidity through FHLB advances, other collateralized borrowings, wholesale deposits or the sale of available for sale securities. At March 31, 2014, unencumbered investment securities available for sale totaled $2.4 billion. At March 31, 2014, BankUnited had available borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $1.9 billion, unused borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of $92 million and unused Federal funds and repurchase agreement lines of credit totaling $85 million. The ability to sell or potentially securitize other earning assets, such as the new residential mortgage portfolio, provides a potential source of contingency liquidity, although we do not currently anticipate liquidating any portion of that portfolio. Management also has the ability to exert substantial control over the rate and timing of growth of the new loan portfolio, and resultant requirements for liquidity to fund new loans.

Continued runoff of the covered loan portfolio and FDIC indemnification asset and growth of the new loan portfolio are the most significant trends expected to impact the Bank’s liquidity in the near term.

Table of Contents

The asset/liability committee (“ALCO”) policy has established several measures of liquidity which are monitored monthly by ALCO and quarterly by the Board of Directors. The primary measure of liquidity monitored by management is liquid assets (defined as cash and cash equivalents and pledgeable securities) to total assets. BankUnited’s liquidity is considered acceptable if liquid assets divided by total assets exceeds 5.0%. At March 31, 2014, BankUnited’s liquid assets divided by total assets was 7.1%. Management monitors a one year liquidity ratio, defined as cash and cash equivalents, pledgeable securities, unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB, and loans and non-agency securities maturing within one year divided by deposits and borrowings maturing within one year. The maturity of deposits, excluding certificate of deposits, is based on retention rates derived from the most recent external core deposit analysis obtained by the Company. This ratio allows management to monitor liquidity over a longer time horizon. The acceptable threshold established by ALCO for this liquidity measure is 100%. At March 31, 2014, BankUnited’s one year liquidity ratio was 139%. Additional measures of liquidity regularly monitored by ALCO include the ratio of FHLB advances to Tier 1 capital plus the ALLL, the ratio of FHLB advances to total assets and a measure of available liquidity to volatile liabilities. At March 31, 2014, BankUnited was within acceptable limits established by ALCO for each of these measures.

As a holding company, BankUnited, Inc. is a corporation separate and apart from its banking subsidiary, and therefore, provides for its own liquidity. BankUnited, Inc.’s main sources of funds include management fees and dividends from the Bank, access to public debt and capital markets and, to a lesser extent, its own available for sale securities portfolio which consists primarily of U. S. government agency floating rate mortgage-backed securities and financial institution preferred stocks. There are regulatory limitations that affect the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to BankUnited, Inc. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing near-term cash obligations.

We expect that our liquidity requirements will continue to be satisfied over the next 12 months through these sources of funds.

Interest Rate Risk

The principal component of the Company’s risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of financial instruments, or market risk, is interest rate risk, including the risk that assets and liabilities with similar re-pricing characteristics may not reprice at the same time or to the same degree. The primary objective of the Company’s asset/liability management activities is to maximize net interest income, while maintaining acceptable levels of interest rate risk. The ALCO is responsible for establishing policies to limit exposure to interest rate risk, and to ensure procedures are established to monitor compliance with these policies. The guidelines established by ALCO are approved at least annually by the Board of Directors.

Management believes that the simulation of net interest income in different interest rate environments provides the most meaningful measure of interest rate risk. Income simulation analysis is designed to capture not only the potential of all assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability that they will do so. Income simulation also attends to the relative interest rate sensitivities of these items, and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. Finally, income simulation permits management to assess the probable effects on the balance sheet not only of changes in interest rates, but also of proposed strategies for responding to them.

The income simulation model analyzes interest rate sensitivity by projecting net interest income over the next twenty-four months in a most likely rate scenario based on forward interest rate curves versus net interest income in alternative rate scenarios. Management continually reviews and refines its interest rate risk management process in response to the changing economic climate. Currently, our model projects a plus 100, plus 200 and plus 300 basis point change with rates increasing 25 basis points per month until the applicable limit is reached as well as a modified flat scenario incorporating a more flattened yield curve. We did not simulate a decrease in interest rates at March 31, 2014 due to the current low rate environment. We continually evaluate the scenarios being modeled with a view toward adapting them to changing economic conditions, expectations and trends.

The Company’s ALCO policy has established that interest income sensitivity will be considered acceptable if forecast net interest income in the plus 200 basis point scenario is within 5% of forecast net interest income in the most likely rate scenario over the next twelve months and within 10% in the second year. The following table illustrates the impact on forecasted net interest income of plus 100, plus 200 and plus 300 basis point scenarios at March 31, 2014:

Table of Contents

	Plus 100		Plus 200		Plus 300
Twelve Months	1.3	%	1.5	%	1.5	%
Twenty Four Months	4.9	%	9.0	%	11.3	%

Management also simulates changes in the economic value of equity (“EVE”) in various interest rate environments. The ALCO policy has established parameters of acceptable risk that are defined in terms of the percentage change in EVE from a base scenario under six rate scenarios, derived by implementing immediate parallel movements of plus and minus 100, 200 and 300 basis points from current rates. We did not simulate decreases in interest rates at March 31, 2014 due to the current low rate environment. The parameters established by ALCO stipulate that the change in EVE is considered acceptable if the change is less than 6%, 10% and 14% in plus 100, 200 and 300 basis point scenarios, respectively. As of March 31, 2014, our simulation for BankUnited indicated percentage changes from base EVE of (0.9)%, (2.4)% and (5.0)% in plus 100, 200, and 300 basis point scenarios, respectively.

These measures fall within an acceptable level of interest rate risk per the policies established by ALCO. In the event the models indicate an unacceptable level of risk, the Company could undertake a number of actions that would reduce this risk, including the sale or re-positioning of a portion of its available for sale investment portfolio, restructuring of borrowings, or the use of derivatives such as interest rate swaps and caps.

Many assumptions were used by the Company to calculate the impact of changes in interest rates, including the change in rates. Actual results may not be similar to the Company’s projections due to several factors including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions, changes in depositor behavior and the shape of the yield curve. Actual results may also differ due to the Company’s actions, if any, in response to changing rates and conditions.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate swaps are one of the tools we use to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments are used to mitigate exposure to variability in interest cash flows on FHLB advances and time deposits and to manage duration of liabilities. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The fair value of these instruments is included in other assets and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and changes in fair value are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. At March 31, 2014, outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges had an aggregate notional amount of $1.7 billion. The aggregate fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges included in other assets was $13 million and the aggregate fair value included in other liabilities was $37 million.

Interest rate swaps not designated as cash flow hedges had an aggregate notional amount of $739 million at March 31, 2014. The aggregate fair value of these interest rate swaps included in other assets was $8 million and the aggregate fair value included in other liabilities was $8 million. These interest rate swaps were entered into as accommodations to certain of our commercial borrowers.

See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for more information about our derivative positions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Commitments

We routinely enter into commitments to extend credit to our customers, including commitments to fund loans or lines of credit and commercial and standby letters of credit. The credit risk associated with these commitments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and they are subject to our normal credit policies and approval processes. While these commitments represent contractual cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. The following table details our outstanding commitments to extend credit as of March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

	Covered		Non-Covered		Total
Commitments to fund loans	$	—	$	446,945	$	446,945
Commitments to purchase loans	—		91,354		91,354
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit	48,695		984,348		1,033,043

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has made no significant changes in its critical accounting policies and significant estimates from those disclosed in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the capital position and performance of the Company. Disclosure of this non-GAAP financial measure also provides a meaningful base for comparability to other financial institutions. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measurement of tangible book value per common share to the comparable GAAP financial measurement of book value per common share at March 31, 2014 (in thousands except share and per share data):

Total stockholders’ equity	$	1,979,704
Less: goodwill and other intangible assets	68,898
Tangible stockholders’ equity	$	1,910,806

Common stock shares issued and outstanding	101,663,937

Book value per common share	$	19.47

Tangible book value per common share	$	18.80
