--- ---
Net income Net income for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $153.8 million, an increase of $34.4 million, or 28.8% compared to the same quarter in 2019. Net income per common share increased to $14.74 in the second quarter of 2020, from $10.56 per share during the same quarter in 2019.
Return on average assets and equity Return on average assets for the second quarter of 2020 was 1.36%, up from 1.29% in the same quarter in 2019. Return on average equity for the second quarter of 2020 was 16.43%, up from 13.50% in the same period of 2019.
Net interest income and net interest margin BancShares reported total net interest income of $337.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $10.0 million, or 3.1% compared to the same quarter in 2019. The taxable-equivalent net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.14% for the second quarter of 2020, down 63 basis points from 3.77% during the same quarter in 2019 and down 41 basis points from 3.55% during the first quarter of 2020.
Allowance for credit losses The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $222.5 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $225.1 million at December 31, 2019. The change relates primarily to a $37.9 million reduction in the ACL as a result of adopting the Current Expected Credit Loss model (“CECL”), partially offset by a reserve build of $36.1 million due to an increase in potential loan losses related to the impact of COVID-19.
Operating performance Noninterest income totaled $165.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $106.9 million for the same quarter of 2019, an increase of $58.5 million or 54.8%, primarily driven by favorable market value adjustments on the equity portfolio and gains on the sale of available for sale investment securities. Noninterest expense was $291.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to $273.4 million during the same quarter of 2019, an increase of $18.3 million or 6.7%.
Loans and credit quality Total loans grew to $32.42 billion, an increase of $3.54 billion, or 24.6% on an annualized basis, since December 31, 2019. Excluding $3.08 billion of loans originated under the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA-PPP”) and loans acquired in 2020, total loans increased $440.1 million since December 31, 2019, or by 3.1% on an annualized basis. The net charge-off ratio was 0.09% and 0.10% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 0.11% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Deposits Total deposits grew to $41.48 billion, an increase of $7.05 billion, or 41.2% on an annualized basis since December 31, 2019. Excluding deposits from bank acquisitions, estimated SBA-PPP and stimulus check deposits which combined totaled $3.56 billion, total deposits increased $3.49 billion since December 31, 2019, or 20.4% on an annualized basis.
Capital During the second quarter of 2020, BancShares repurchased 346,000 shares of its Class A common stock totaling $127.0 million. At June 30, 2020, BancShares remained well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.4%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.3% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.1%.

COVID-19 CRISIS PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE

Chairman and CEO, Frank B. Holding, Jr. Comments

“I’m proud of the dedication and above-and-beyond efforts of our associates to assist our customers and communities in a difficult and evolving operating environment. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to support our business clients and their vital role in the markets we serve. Even in the midst of economic uncertainty, our company realized solid balance-sheet growth and maintained a high level of liquidity, which position us well to face stresses posed by this environment. We appreciate our clients’ ongoing trust in us while we've focused on serving their financial needs and keeping them and our employees safe. We take great pride in taking care of our customers. It’s who we’ve been for 122 years, and it’s more important than ever in these unique times.”

Continued Monitoring and Response

BancShares remains in a very strong capital and liquidity position providing stability in navigating this crisis. Our leadership team continues to ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect the welfare of our employees and soundness of the organization, while continuing to support our customers. Approximately 95% of our branches have re-opened with enhanced safety protocols and our corporate locations remain at limited occupancy due to current virus trends.

As of July 24, 2020, COVID-19 related loan extensions totaled approximately $2.1 billion in outstanding loan balances, representing approximately $53 million in payment deferrals. The first wave of loans with payment deferrals have completed their extension period and the volume of extension requests declined during the second quarter. A significant portion of the original payment extensions, approximately $4.9 billion, have moved to active status as of July 24, 2020. We have not seen significant shifts in credit line utilization or declines in overall credit quality.

BancShares originated approximately 23,000 SBA-PPP loan requests with an outstanding balance of $3.08 billion at June 30, 2020. We have collected all $116.9 million in SBA-PPP related loan fees per the program terms. These fees are deferred and are being recognized in interest income over the life of the respective loans. Once the forgiveness requirements and procedures are finalized by the regulatory bodies, we anticipate acceleration of the fee income as borrower requests are processed.

Strong Liquidity and Capital Position

We maintain a strong level of liquidity. As of June 30, 2020, liquid assets (available cash and unencumbered high quality liquid assets at market value) totaled approximately $8.04 billion, representing 16.8% of consolidated assets as of June 30, 2020.

In addition to liquid assets, we had contingent sources of liquidity totaling approximately $11.97 billion in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity, Federal Reserve Discount Window availability, fed funds lines and a committed line of credit.

At June 30, 2020, BancShares’ regulatory capital ratios were well in excess of Basel III capital requirements with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.4%, a common equity Tier 1 ratio of 10.3%, a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.1% and a capital conservation buffer of 5.4%, twice the required level of 2.5%.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $337.4 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 3.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase in interest earned on loans, driven by SBA-PPP loans and organic loan growth, and lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by declines in yields on other earning assets and higher borrowings. SBA-PPP loans contributed $19.0 million in interest and fee income during the quarter. The taxable-equivalent NIM was 3.14% during the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 63 basis points from 3.77% for the comparable quarter in the prior year. The margin decline was primarily due to a decrease in yields on earning assets, partially offset by a decline in rates paid on deposits. The taxable-equivalent NIM declined 41 basis points from 3.55% in the linked quarter primarily related to declines in yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by declines in rates paid on interest-bearing deposits.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, totaled $675.8 million, an increase of $28.0 million, or 4.3% compared to the same period of 2019. The change in net interest income was primarily due to SBA-PPP loans and organic loan growth, partially offset by declines in yields on other earning assets, an increase in borrowings and higher balances and rates paid on deposits (money markets and time deposits). The taxable equivalent NIM decreased 48 basis points to 3.33% compared to 3.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to a decline in yield on interest earning assets coupled with an increase in total borrowings and higher rates paid on deposits.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Provision expense was $20.6 million and $48.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to $5.2 million and $16.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The increases for both the three and six month periods were primarily COVID-19 related as loss estimates consider the potential impact of slower economic activity and elevated unemployment, as well as potential mitigants due to unprecedented government stimulus and loan accommodations. The quarter-to-date and year-to-date provision expense includes $14.6 million and $36.1 million, respectively, of additions to the allowance for credit losses specifically related to the potential impacts of COVID-19.

Total net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2020 were $7.4 million, consistent with the second quarter of 2019. Net charge-offs were $14.9 million and $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net charge-off ratio was 0.09% and 0.10% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 0.11% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019. Excluding the impact of SBA-PPP loans on average loan balances, the net charge-off ratio was 0.10% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income for the second quarter of June 30, 2020 totaled $165.4 million, an increase of $58.5 million, or 54.8% compared to the second quarter of 2019. Excluding fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities totaling $64.6 million (including $37.0 million of realized gains) and realized gains on available for sale securities totaling $13.8 million, noninterest income was $87.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $98.0 million for the same period in 2019. This $10.9 million decrease was primarily driven by an $8.3 million decrease in net service charges on deposits and a $4.2 million reduction in purchased credit impaired recoveries, which subsequent to CECL adoption are reported through the allowance for credit losses, and a $2.2 million decline in wealth advisory services income. These declines were partially offset by higher mortgage income of $4.8 million due to increased production resulting from lower mortgage interest rates.

Noninterest income for the first six months of 2020 totaled $229.4 million, an increase of $18.9 million or 9.0% compared to the same period of 2019. Noninterest income, excluding realized gains on available for sale securities totaling $33.5 million, fair value adjustments on marketable equity securities totaling $13.2 million, and impairment of mortgage servicing rights of $4.0 million, was $186.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $190.3 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease was driven primarily by a $6.9 million decrease in net service charges on deposits, and a $8.2 million decrease in purchased credit impaired recoveries. These declines were partially offset by a $10.4 million increase in mortgage income due to increased production resulting from lower mortgage interest rates.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense totaled $291.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, an $18.3 million, or 6.7% increase compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was largely driven by a $10.3 million increase in personnel-related expenses primarily due to increased salaries and wages as a result of net staff additions, including personnel from acquisitions, and merit increases. This was combined with increases in processing fees paid to third parties and occupancy expenses of $3.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively.

Noninterest expense totaled $591.7 million for the first six months of 2020, a $50.6 million, or 9.4% increase compared to the same period of 2019. The increase was largely driven by a $29.1 million increase in personnel expenses as a result of merit increases and headcount from acquisitions, a $6.8 million increase in processing fees paid to third parties and a $4.1 million increase in pension expense which is recorded in other expenses.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense totaled $36.8 million and $36.3 million for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 19.3% and 23.3% for the respective periods.

Income tax expense totaled $53.7 million and $69.6 million for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 20.3% and 23.2% for the respective six month periods.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter 2020 was favorably impacted by $6.9 million due to BancShares’ decision to utilize an allowable alternative for computing its 2020 federal income tax liability. Without this alternative, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 23%. The allowable alternative provides BancShares the ability to use the federal income tax rate for certain current year deductible amounts related to prior year FDIC-assisted acquisitions that was applicable when these amounts were originally subjected to tax. As a result of this favorable federal tax rate benefit, the effective tax rate for the remainder of 2020 is estimated to be approximately 21%. The actual 2020 effective tax rate will depend upon the nature and amount of future income and expenses as well as transactions with discrete tax effects.

LOANS AND DEPOSITS

At June 30, 2020, loans totaled $32.42 billion, an increase of $3.54 billion since December 31, 2019. Of this growth, $12.3 million was related to bank acquisitions and $3.08 billion to loans originated in relation to the SBA-PPP. Excluding acquired and SBA-PPP loans, total loans increased $440.1 million since December 31, 2019, or by 3.1% on an annualized basis.

At June 30, 2020, deposits totaled $41.48 billion, an increase of $7.05 billion since December 31, 2019. This growth includes $2.99 billion in SBA-PPP reciprocal deposits (estimated at the time of funding) and $526.0 million of government stimulus deposits (estimated at the time of issuance), as well as $43.0 million of deposits obtained through acquisitions. Excluding the cumulative impact of these deposits, total deposits increased $3.49 billion since December 31, 2019, or by 20.4% on an annualized basis.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (“ACL”)

The ACL was $222.5 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $225.1 million at December 31, 2019. The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.69% at June 30, 2020, compared to 0.78% at December 31, 2019. The reduction was due primarily to the adoption of CECL resulting in a $37.9 million reduction in the ACL, partially offset by a reserve build of $36.1 million due to an increase in potential loan losses related to the impact of COVID-19. Excluding SBA-PPP loans, which have no associated ACL, the ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.76% as of June 30, 2020. The ACL as of June 30, 2020, excluding SBA-PPP loans, covered approximately 7.5 times annualized year to date net charge-offs compared to 6.5 times at January 1, 2020 CECL adoption.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets, including nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, were $251.6 million, or 0.77% of total loans and other real estate owned at June 30, 2020, compared to $168.3 million or 0.58% at December 31, 2019. The increase was largely due to the dissolution of purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) pools as part of the adoption of CECL, which moved loans from performing PCI pools into nonaccrual status, contributing $35.9 million of nonaccrual loans as June 30, 2020. Excluding the impact of the accounting change, the nonperforming asset ratio at June 30, 2020 would have been relatively consistent with December 31, 2019.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

During the second quarter of 2020, BancShares repurchased 346,000 shares of Class A common stock for $127.0 million at an average cost per share of $366.98 compared to a total of 205,500 shares of Class A common stock for $89.8 million at an average cost per share of $436.81 for the second quarter of 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, BancShares repurchased 695,390 shares of Class A common stock for $286.7 million at an average cost per share of $412.23 compared to 448,500 shares of Class A common stock for $190.5 million at an average cost per share of $424.77 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. All Class A common stock repurchases completed in 2020 and 2019 were consummated under previously approved authorizations.

^(1)^The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure which measures productivity and is generally calculated as noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income). The efficiency ratio removes the impact of BancShares’ securities gains, fair market value adjustment on marketable equity securities, acquired recoveries previously recognized in other income, merger-related expenses and amortization of core deposits and other intangibles from the calculation. Management uses this ratio to monitor performance and believes this measure provides meaningful information to investors.

^(1)^BancShares recorded no ACL on investment securities as part of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as of January 1, 2020, March 31, 2020, or June 30, 2020.

^(2)^ Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020, the concept of purchased credit impaired loans under ASC 310-30 was eliminated. Loans and leases determined at the date of acquisition, to have experienced more than insignificant credit quality since origination are accounted for under the guidance in ASC Topic 326-20, Credit Losses as purchased credit deteriorated assets. PCD loans and leases are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition with an initial reserve booked directly to the allowance for credit losses. Provision is recorded if there is additional credit deterioration after the acquisition date. Non-PCD loans include originated and purchased non-credit deteriorated loans. Loans previously classified as PCI were determined to be PCD.

^(3)^ Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, we dissolved pooling of PCI loans allowed under ASC 310-30. This increased the amount of nonaccrual loans as those nonaccrual loans within performing PCI pools were previously excluded from reporting. As of January 1, 2020, there were $47.0 million of nonaccrual loans released from performing PCI pools including $24.2 million of loans that were greater than 90 days past due. Of these nonaccrual loans, $35.9 million were outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

^(4)^ Loans originated in relation to the SBA-PPP do not have a recorded ACL. As of June 30, 2020, the ratio of ACL to total Non-PCD loans excluding SBA-PPP loans is 0.68% while the ratio of ACL to total loans excluding SBA-PPP loans is 0.76%.

Exhibit 99.2 First Citizens BancShares Second Quarter 2020 Earnings July 29, 2020


2 Forward Looking Statements . This presentation may contain forward-looking statements with respect to First Citizens BancShares, Inc.’s (the “Corporation”) financial condition, results of operations and business within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "may," "should," "will," "could," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "believes," "plans," "expects," "future," "intends,“, “forecasts," “projects,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, the Corporation’s future financial performance, expected levels of future expenses, anticipated growth strategies, descriptions of new business initiatives and anticipated trends in the Corporation’s business or financial results. . Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Corporation's management regarding the future of the Corporation’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Corporation’s control. The Corporation’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not unduly rely on any of these forward- looking statements. Any forward-looking statement is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date when made. The Corporation undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. . Factors that could influence the accuracy of those forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the financial success or changing strategies of the Corporation’s customers, customer acceptance of the Corporation’s services, products and fee structure, the competitive nature of the financial services industry, the Corporation’s ability to compete effectively against other financial institutions in its banking markets, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates and the Corporation’s ability to manage its interest rate risk, changes in general economic conditions that affect the Corporation’s loan and lease portfolio, the ability of the Corporation’s borrowers to repay their loans and leases, the values of real estate and other collateral, the impact of acquisitions, and the impacts of COVID-19 on the Corporation's business and on its customers. A discussion of additional risks and uncertainties affecting the Corporation can be found in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is accessible at the Investor Relations section of the Corporation’s website (www.fistcitizens.com) and on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov). . The Corporation uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures at the end of this presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used in the Corporation’s industry, have certain limitations and should not be construed as alternatives to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Corporation may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

31 Looking Ahead- Outlook for the Remainder of 2020 Highlights Commentary . Decline in net interest margin mostly behind us. . Deposit costs expected to continue to decline offsetting some of the low interest rate Net interest income and margin headwind. . Net Interest income- flat to slight increase as recognition of SBA-PPP interest and fee income is partially offset by declining earning asset yields. . Core noninterest income is expected to increase relative to 2Q20 levels, as signs of improvement occurred in June. Levels will depend on the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the economy moving forward. Noninterest income . Continue to assess strategic opportunities to recognize investment portfolio gains. . Net charge-off ratio expected to increase slightly as the positive temporary impact of SBA-PPP loan proceeds and payments extensions subside. Provision and Asset Quality . Further reserve builds not expected at the pace of recent quarters; however, this will depend on the economic recovery and the severity of COVID-19 on it. . Noninterest expense expected to decline based on personnel hiring freeze and conversion of acquired banks. Monthly run rate expected in the $96 - $97 million range following conversions. Noninterest expense & Income taxes . Income tax rate expected to be lower over the next two quarters compared to same- quarter prior year due to impact of tax deductions discussed previously. . Core loan growth, excluding the impact of SBA-PPP loan forgiveness, expected to be flat to low single digit growth due to economy and reduced loan demand. Loans and Deposits . Total deposits expected to decrease the remainder of the year as clients continue to utilize SBA-PPP loan and stimulus check proceeds.

(2) Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020, the concept of purchased credit impaired loans under ASC 310-30 was eliminated. Loans and leases determined at the date of acquisition, to have experienced more than insignificant credit quality since origination are accounted for under the guidance in ASC Topic 326-20, Credit Losses as purchased credit deteriorated assets. PCD loans and leases are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition with an initial reserve booked directly to the allowance for credit losses. Provision is recorded if there is additional credit deterioration after the acquisition date. Non-PCD loans include originated and purchased non- credit deteriorated loans. Loans previously classified as PCI were determined to be PCD. (3) Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, we dissolved pooling of PCI loans allowed under ASC 310-30. This increased the amount of nonaccrual loans as those nonaccrual loans within performing PCI pools were previously excluded from reporting. As of January 1, 2020, there were $47.0 million of nonaccrual loans released from performing PCI pools including $24.2 million of loans that were greater than 90 days past due.
