Forward guidance
Customers Bancorp anticipates continued growth and improved financial performance, driven by digital transformation, PPP participation, and fintech partnerships. The company expects to achieve targeted capital levels and maintain strong credit quality, with recurring earnings power expanding above $4.00 in 2021 and on track to reach $6.00 in core EPS in 2026.
Tailwinds
- Loan growth, excluding PPP and mortgage warehouse balances, is expected to average in the mid-to-high single digits over the next several quarters.
- The Total Capital Ratio is expected to exceed 13.0% by year-end 2021.
- The TCE-to-TA ratio excluding PPP loans is expected to be 7.5-8.0% by year-end 2021.
- We project the NIM excluding PPP loans to expand into the 3.10%-3.30% range by Q4 2021.
- We project an effective tax rate for 2021 of 21.0%-22.0%, down from 24.7% in 2020.
Headwinds
- The balance of commercial loans to mortgage companies is expected to decline to $2.8-$3.2 billion at March 31, 2021 and $1.6-$2.4 billion at December 31, 2021.
- Impacted by the divestiture of BankMobile, we project non-interest income of $9.0-11.0 million and operating expenses of $59.0-$61.0 million in Q1 2021 (excluding BankMobile related severance expense).
- Our earnings trend is likely to be volatile over the next several quarters owing to our participation in PPP.
