1. Basis of Presentation

SVB Financial Group is a diversified financial services company, as well as a bank holding company and a financial holding company. SVB Financial was incorporated in the state of Delaware in March 1999. Through our various subsidiaries and divisions, we offer a diverse set of banking and financial products and services to support our clients of all sizes and stages throughout their life cycles. In these notes to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, when we refer to “SVB Financial Group,” “SVBFG," the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or use similar words, we mean SVB Financial Group and all of its subsidiaries collectively, including Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”), unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to “SVB Financial” or the “Parent” we are referring only to the parent company, SVB Financial Group (not including subsidiaries).

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. Such unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future periods. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”).

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates may change as new information is obtained. ~~Items~~Among the more significant estimates are those that ~~are subject to such estimates include:~~relate to: 1) ~~measurements of fair value, the~~ACL for loans and for unfunded credit commitments, 2) valuation of non-marketable and other equity securities, ~~and the~~3) valuation of equity warrant assets, 2)4) goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, and 5) income ~~taxes and 3) the adequacy of the ACL for loans and for unfunded credit commitments.~~taxes.

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SVB Financial Group and consolidated entities. We consolidate voting entities in which we have control through voting interests or entities through which we have a controlling financial interest in a VIE. We determine whether we have a controlling financial interest in a VIE by determining if we have: (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. Generally, we have significant variable interests if our commitments to a limited partnership investment represent a significant amount of the total commitments to the entity. We also evaluate the impact of related parties on our determination of variable interests in our consolidation conclusions. We consolidate VIEs in which we are the primary beneficiary based on a controlling financial interest. If we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we record our pro-rata interests based on our ownership percentage.

VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. We assess VIEs to determine if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. A primary beneficiary is defined as a variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest requires both: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of a VIE that could potentially be significant to a VIE. Under this analysis, we also evaluate kick-out rights and other participating rights, which could provide us a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE.

We also evaluate fees paid to managers of our limited partnership investments. We exclude those fee arrangements that are not deemed to be variable interests from the analysis of our interests in our investments in VIEs and the determination of a primary beneficiary, if any. Fee arrangements based on terms that are customary and commensurate with the services provided are deemed not to be variable interests and are, therefore, excluded.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. ~~We have not provided financial or other support during the periods presented~~For a further description of our accounting policies regarding consolidation refer to ~~any VIE that we were not previously contractually required to provide.~~

Allowance for Credit Losses: Loan Portfolio Segments and Classes of Financing Receivables

Upon completing the acquisition of Boston Private, we evaluated the impact of the acquired loan portfolio on our existing portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables, which we historically have called "risk-based segments." We have modified both levels of disaggregation to accommodate Boston Private loans. The following provides additional information regarding our revised 8 portfolio segments and the additional disaggregation of our 11 classes of financing receivables:

Table of Contents

•Global Fund Banking (segment and class) – The vast majority of our Global Fund Banking ("GFB") portfolio segment consists of capital call lines of credit, the repayment of which is dependent on the payment of capital calls by the underlying limited partner investors in funds managed by certain private equity and venture capital firms.

•Investor Dependent (segment) – Our Investor Dependent loans are made primarily to technology and life science/healthcare companies. These borrowers typically have modest or negative cash flows and rarely have an established record of profitable operations. Repayment of these loans may be dependent upon receipt by borrowers of additional equity financing from venture capital firms or other investors, or in some cases, a successful sale to a third party or an IPO. This portfolio segment is further disaggregated into two classes of financing receivables:

◦Early-Stage (class) – Our Early-Stage class of financing receivable consists of pre-revenue, development-stage companies and companies that are in the early phases of commercialization, with revenues of up to $5 million.

◦Growth Stage (class) – Our Growth Stage (Mid/Later Stages) class of financing receivable consists of growth-stage enterprises. We consider companies with revenues between $5 million and $15 million, or pre-revenue clinical-stage biotechnology companies, to be Mid-Stage, and companies with revenues in excess of $15 million to be Later Stage.

•Cash Flow Dependent and Innovation Commercial and Industrial ("C&I") (segment) – These loans are made primarily to technology and life science/healthcare companies that are not Investor Dependent, i.e. repayment is not dependent on additional equity financing, a successful sale or an IPO. This portfolio segment consists of two classes of financing receivables:

◦Cash Flow Dependent – Sponsor-Led Buyout ("SLBO") (class) – Sponsor-Led Buyout loans are typically used to assist a select group of private equity sponsors with the acquisition of businesses, are larger in size, and repayment is generally dependent upon the cash flows of the combined entities. Acquired companies are typically established, later-stage businesses of scale and characterized by reasonable levels of leverage with loan structures that include meaningful financial covenants. The sponsor’s equity contribution is often 50 percent or more of the acquisition price.

◦Innovation C&I (class) – This class of financing receivable contains other commercial and industrial loans in innovation sectors (i.e. the technology and life science/healthcare industries). These loans are dependent on either the borrower’s cash flows or balance sheet for repayment. Cash flow dependent loans require the borrower to maintain cash flow from operations that is sufficient to service all debt. Borrowers must demonstrate normalized cash flow in excess of all fixed charges associated with operating the business. Balance sheet dependent loans include asset-based loans and are structured to require constant current asset coverage (i.e. cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and, to a much lesser extent, inventory) in an amount that exceeds the outstanding debt. The repayment of these arrangements is dependent on the financial condition, and payment ability, of third parties with whom our clients do business.

•Private Bank (segment and class) – Our Private Bank clients are primarily private equity/venture capital professionals and executives in the innovation companies they support as well as high net worth clients acquired from Boston Private. We offer a customized suite of private banking services, including mortgages, home equity lines of credit, restricted and private stock loans, personal capital call lines of credit, lines of credit against liquid assets and other secured and unsecured lending products. In addition, we provide owner occupied commercial mortgages to Private Bank clients and real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our Employee Home Ownership Program.

•Commercial Real Estate (CRE) (segment and class) – Commercial real estate loans are generally acquisition financing for commercial properties such as office buildings, retail properties, apartment buildings, and industrial/warehouse space.

•Other C&I (segment and class) – These are commercial and industrial loans, including working capital and revolving lines of credit, as well as term loans for equipment and fixed assets. These loans are primarily to clients that are not in the technology and life sciences/healthcare industries. Additionally, this portfolio segment contains commercial tax-exempt loans to not-for-profit private schools, colleges, public charter schools and other not-for-profit organizations.

•Premium Wine and Other (segment) – This portfolio segment consists of two classes of financing receivables:

◦Premium Wine (class) – Our Premium Wine clients primarily consist of wine producers, vineyards and wine industry or hospitality businesses across the Western United States. A large portion of these loans are secured by real estate collateral such as vineyards and wineries.

Table of Contents

◦Other (class) – Our Other class of financing receivable primarily consists of construction and land loans for financing new developments as well as financing for improvements to existing buildings. These also include our community development loans made as part of our responsibilities under the Community Reinvestment Act.

•Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") (segment and class) – These are the combined loans issued through the PPP by SVB and Boston Private. These loans represent clients across all portfolio segments and are guaranteed by the U.S Small Business Administration.

Refer to Note 2 — “Business Combination” for additional information regarding the Boston Private acquisition.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which is part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce cost and complexity related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplifies income tax accounting in several areas. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2021, on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

2. Business Combination

On July 1, 2021, we acquired 100 percent of the voting equity interests of Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc., the parent company of Boston Private Bank & Trust Company. The acquisition of Boston Private accelerates SVB’s private bank and wealth management offering, strengthening SVB’s overall platform and ability to fully meet the financial needs of its clients. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and accordingly, the results of Boston Private's operations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from the date of acquisition.

We acquired Boston Private for $1.2 billion comprised of $2.10 in cash and 0.0228 shares of SVB common stock for each Boston Private share. For the transaction, we issued approximately 1.9 million shares of SVB common stock and registered an additional 99,000 shares of SVB common stock issuable upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of converted legacy Boston Private equity awards.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the net assets of Boston Private as of July 1, 2021:

The Company recognized identifiable intangible assets of $104 million and goodwill of $201 million as a result of the acquisition. Intangible assets of $104 million are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill recorded includes expected revenue-generating synergies driven by the broadening of our product suite and strength of the combined platform, providing our teams with expanded capabilities, technology and scalability to meet the increasing needs of our Private Bank clients. Goodwill amounts have been allocated to the SVB Private Bank reporting segment and will not be deductible for tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the fair value and estimated useful lives of the other intangible assets at the date of acquisition:

Due to the various conversions of Boston Private systems during the third quarter of 2021, as well as other streamlining and continuing integration of Boston Private's operating activities into those of the Company, reporting for revenue and net income of the former Boston Private operations for the period subsequent to the acquisition is impracticable.

Supplementary pro forma financial information related to the acquisition is not included because the impact to the Company's consolidated statements of income is not material.

EPS

Basic EPS is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issuable for stock options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and our ESPP. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. The following is a reconciliation of basic EPS to diluted EPS for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020:

(1) Included in our unconsolidated non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are investments in qualified affordable housing projects of ~~$696~~$920 million and $616 million, respectively, and related other liabilities consisting of unfunded commitments of ~~$415~~$471 million and $370 million, respectively.

(2) Included in our unconsolidated accrued interest receivable and other assets at September 30, 2021 are investments in statutory trusts for junior subordinated debt of $6 million and $90 million included in long term debt previously issued by Boston Private and assumed in the acquisition.

Non-marketable and other equity securities

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies and qualified affordable housing projects. Many of these are investments held by SVB Financial in third-party funds in which we do not have controlling or significant variable interests. These investments represent our unconsolidated VIEs in the table above. Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio also includes investments from SVB Capital. SVB Capital is the funds management business of SVB Financial Group, which focuses primarily on venture capital investments. The SVB Capital family of funds is comprised of direct venture funds that invest in companies and funds of funds that invest in other venture capital funds. We have a controlling and significant variable interest in 3 of these SVB Capital funds and consolidate these funds for financial reporting purposes.

All investments are generally nonredeemable, and distributions are expected to be received through the liquidation of the underlying investments throughout the life of the investment fund. Investments may only be sold or transferred subject to the notice and approval provisions of the underlying investment agreement. Subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including the Volcker Rule, we also make commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds. For additional details, see Note 1312 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments.”

The Bank also has variable interests in low income housing tax credit funds, in connection with fulfilling its responsibilities under the CRA, that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. These investments are typically limited partnerships in which the general partner, other than the Bank, holds the power over significant activities of the VIE; therefore, these investments are not consolidated. For additional information on our investments in qualified affordable housing projects, see Note 56 — “Investment Securities."

Table of Contents

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our exposure to loss with respect to the consolidated VIEs is limited to our net assets of ~~$641~~$777 million and our exposure to loss for our unconsolidated VIEs is equal to our investment in these assets of ~~$955 million.~~$1.2 billion.

Junior subordinated debentures

SVB Financial Group assumed two statutory trusts during the merger with Boston Private. These trusts were for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in junior subordinated debentures. These statutory trusts created by legacy Boston Private are not consolidated within the financial statements as the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts; however, the total junior subordinated debentures payable to the preferred stockholders of statutory trusts are reported as long-term debt in the financial statements. As of September 30, 2021, there are $90 million of trust preferred securities outstanding.

(1)As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we identified a total of ~~344~~381 investments that were in unrealized loss positions with 2 investments in an unrealized loss position for a period of time greater than 12 months. Based on our analysis of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the decline in value is unrelated to credit loss and is related to changes in market interest rates since purchase and therefore changes in value for securities are included in other comprehensive income. Market valuations and credit loss analyses on assets in the AFS securities portfolio are reviewed and monitored on a quarterly basis. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we do not intend to sell any of our securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell any of our securities prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis. None of the investments in our AFS securities portfolio were past due as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

The following table summarizes the fixed income securities, carried at fair value, classified as AFS as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 by the remaining contractual principal maturities. For U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency debentures and foreign government debt securities, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as AFS typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments.

HTM Securities

During the ~~second quarter of~~nine months ended September 30, 2021, we re-designated certain securities from the classification of AFS to HTM. The securities re-designated consisted of agency-issued ~~CMBS~~CMO's, CMBS', MBS' and U.S. agency debentures with a total carrying value of ~~$5.7 billion at June 30, 2021~~. $8.8 billion. At the time of re-designation the securities included ~~$78~~$132 million of pretax net unrealized ~~loss~~losses in other comprehensive income and are being amortized over the life of the securities in a manner consistent with the amortization of a premium or discount. Our decision to re-designate the securities was based on our ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Factors used in assessing the ability to hold these securities to maturity were future liquidity needs and sources of funding. HTM securities are carried on the balance sheet at amortized cost and the changes in the value of these securities, other than an ACL, are not reported on the financial statements.

The components of our HTM investment securities portfolio at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:

Allowance for Credit Losses for HTM Securities

For HTM securities, the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 had a beginning ACL balance of $1$5 million, a provision for credit losses of $4$1 million, and an ending ACL balance of $5$6 million. For HTM securities, the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 had a beginning ACL balance of less than $1 million, a provision for credit losses of $5$6 million and an ending ACL balance of $5$6 million.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the remaining contractual principal maturities on fixed income investment securities classified as HTM as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. For U.S. agency debentures, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected remaining maturities for certain U.S. agency debentures may occur earlier than their contractual maturities because the note issuers have the right to call outstanding amounts ahead of their contractual maturity. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as HTM typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments; however, we expect to collect substantially all of the recorded investment on these securities.

(2)The carrying value represents investments in ~~157~~153 and 162 funds (primarily venture capital funds) at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, where our ownership interest is typically less than 5% of the voting interests of each such fund and in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the partnerships operating activities and financial policies. We carry our unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments at fair value based on the fund investments' net asset values per share as obtained from the general partners of the investments. For each fund investment, we adjust the net asset value per share for differences between our measurement date and the date of the fund investment’s net asset value by using the most recently available financial information from the investee general partner, for example ~~March 31~~June 30stth for our ~~June~~September 30thconsolidated financial statements, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

(3)These investments include direct equity investments in private companies. The carrying value is based on the price at which the investment was acquired plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. We consider a range of factors when adjusting the fair value of these investments, including, but not limited to, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, exit strategies, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and a discount for certain investments that have lock-up restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted.

Credit Quality Indicators

For each individual client, we establish an internal credit risk rating for that loan, which is used for assessing and monitoring credit risk as well as performance of the loan and the overall portfolio. Our internal credit risk ratings are also used to summarize the risk of loss due to failure by an individual borrower to repay the loan. For our internal credit risk ratings, each individual loan is given a risk rating of 1 through 10. Loans risk-rated 1 through 4 are performing loans and translate to an internal rating of “Pass,” with loans risk-rated 1 being cash secured. Loans risk-rated 5 through 7 are performing loans; however, we consider them as demonstrating higher risk, which requires more frequent review of the individual exposures; these translate to an internal rating of “Criticized.” All of our nonaccrual loans are risk-rated 8 or 9 and are classified with the internal rating of "Nonperforming." Loans rated 10 are charged-off and are not included as part of our loan portfolio balance. We review our credit quality indicators on a quarterly basis for performance and appropriateness of risk ratings as part of our evaluation process for our ACL for loans.

In the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, the ACL for loans increased by $4$2 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by growth in our loan portfolio, ~~partially~~both from the acquisition of Boston Private and organic, which was offset by enhancements made to our allowance model and improved economic conditions within our forecasted assumptions.

The ~~economic forecast in~~ Moody's Analytics ~~June~~September 2021 forecast was utilized in our quantitative model for the ACL as of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2021.~~2021 for both legacy and acquired loans. The forecast assumptions included an improvement in the unemployment rate asand a ~~result of continued business re-openings and the effect of government aid programs, as well as an improved~~strong forecasted gross domestic product growth ~~rate.~~rate, both as a result of ongoing economic stabilization as the pandemic's impact begins to subside. We determined the forecast to be a reasonable view of the outlook for the economy given the available information at current quarter end. To the extent we identified credit risk considerations that were not captured by the Moody's Analytics ~~June~~September 2021 forecast, we addressed the risk through management's qualitative adjustments to our ACL.

The enhancements made to our legacy reserving model were made in normal course, with the primary enhancements being the addition of two years of portfolio data, more granular prepayment models and the re-selection of macroeconomic variables.

We do not estimate expected credit losses on AIR on loans, as AIR is reversed or written off when the full collection of the AIR related to a loan becomes doubtful. AIR on loans totaled ~~$143~~$160 million at~~June~~ September 30, 2021 and $126 million at December 31, 2020 and is reported in "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" in our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

The following tables summarize the activity relating to our ACL for loans for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, broken out by portfolio segment:

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, new TDRs of $25 million were modified through payment deferrals and $1 million through forgiveness of principal.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, new TDRs of $30 million were modified through payment deferrals granted to our clients, $14 million were modified through term extensions and $22 million were modified through a combination thereof.

Charge-offs and defaults on previously restructured loans are evaluated to determine the impact to the ACL for loans, if any. The evaluation of these defaults may impact the assumptions used in calculating the reserve on other TDRs and nonaccrual loans as well as management’s overall outlook of macroeconomic factors that affect the reserve on the loan portfolio as a whole. After evaluating the charge-offs and defaults experienced on our TDRs we determined that no change to our reserving methodology for TDRs was necessary to determine the ACL for loans as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

ACL: Unfunded Credit Commitments

We maintain a separate ACL for unfunded credit commitments that is determined using a methodology that is inherently similar to the methodology used for calculating the ACL for loans. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our ACL estimates utilized the ~~improved~~ Moody's economic forecasts from ~~June~~September 2021 as mentioned above. In the third quarter of 2021, the ACL for unfunded commitments increased by $29 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by growth in our outstanding commitments and compositional changes in our portfolio.

~~(1)Represents cash collateral received from certain counterparties in relation to market value exposures of derivative contracts in our favor.~~

~~Interest expense related to short-term borrowings and long-term debt was $11 millionand$20 million~~for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively and $5 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The weighted average interest rate associated with our short-term borrowings was 0.8 percent as of June 30, 2021 and 0.8 percent as of as of December 31, 2020.

~~Short-term Borrowings~~

We have certain facilities in place to enable us to access short-term borrowings on a secured and unsecured basis. Our secured facilities include collateral pledged to the FHLB of San Francisco and the discount window at the FRB (using both fixed income securities and loans as collateral). Our unsecured facility consists of our uncommitted federal funds lines. As of June 30, 2021, collateral pledged to the FHLB of San Francisco was comprised primarily of fixed income investment securities and loans and had a carrying value of $7.1 billion, of which $5.9 billion was available to support additional borrowings. As of June 30, 2021, collateral pledged to the discount window at the FRB was comprised of fixed income investment securities and had a carrying value of $0.9 billion, all of which was unused and available to support additional borrowings. Our total unused and available borrowing capacity for our uncommitted federal funds lines totaled $1.9 billion at June 30, 2021. Our total unused and available borrowing capacity under our master repurchase agreements with various financial institutions totaled $4.0 billion at June 30, 2021.

~~3.50% Senior Notes~~

In January 2015, SVB Financial issued $350 million of 3.50% Senior Notes due in January 2025. We received net proceeds of approximately $346 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and issuance costs. The balance of our 3.50% Senior Notes at June 30, 2021 was $349 million, which is reflective of $1 million of debt issuance costs and a discount of less than $1 million.

~~3.125% Senior Notes~~

On June 5, 2020, the Company issued $500 million of 3.125% Senior Notes due in June 2030 ("3.125% Senior Notes"). The 3.125% Senior Notes may be redeemed by us, at our option, at any time prior to March 5, 2030, at a redemption price equal to the full aggregate principal amount plus a “make-whole” premium payment. We received net proceeds from this offering of approximately $495 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and issuance costs. The balance of our 3.125% Senior Notes at June 30, 2021 was $495 million, which is reflective of $4 million of debt issuance costs and a discount of less than $1 million.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments

We primarily use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk and to assist customers with their risk management objectives, which may include currency exchange rate risks and interest rate risks. Also, in connection with negotiating credit facilities and certain other services, we often obtain equity warrant assets giving us the right to acquire stock in private, venture-backed companies in the technology and life science/healthcare industries.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and can result from timing and volume differences in the repricing of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and changes in market interest rates. To manage interest rate risk on our interest rate sensitive assets, we have entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against future changes in interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as fair value and cash flow hedges.

Fair Value Hedges

To manage interest rate risk on our AFS securities portfolio, we enter into pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in the fair value of the securities resulting from changes in interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") and have elected to account for a portion of them using the last-of-layer method as outlined in ASC 815. We record the fair value hedges in other assets and other liabilities. For qualifying fair value hedges, both the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the portion of the fair value adjustments associated with the last-of-layer attributable to the hedged risk will be recognized into earnings as they occur. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item in the line item "investment securities" as part of interest income, a component of consolidated net income.

We assess hedge effectiveness under ASC 815 on a quarterly basis to ensure all hedges remain highly effective and hedge accounting under ASC 815 can be applied. In conjunction with the assessment of effectiveness, we assess the hedged item to ensure it is expected to be outstanding at the hedged item’s assumed maturity date and the last-of-layer method of accounting under ASC 815 can be applied. If the hedging relationship no longer exists or no longer qualifies as a hedge per ASC 815, any remaining fair value basis adjustments are allocated to the individual assets in the portfolio and amortized into earnings over a period consistent with the amortization of other discounts and premiums associated with the respective assets. As allowed under GAAP, we applied the "shortcut" method of accounting to a portion of our fair value hedges which assumes there is perfect effectiveness.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of hedged assets that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying value that have been recorded on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021:


		June 30, 2021				September 30, 2021
(Dollars in millions)	(Dollars in millions)	Amortized Cost Basis of the Hedged Assets		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets			(Dollars in millions)	Amortized Cost Basis of the Hedged Assets		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets (2)
AFS securities (1)	AFS securities (1)	$	21,817	$	4		AFS securities (1)	$	17,524	$	(13)

(1)These amounts include the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was~~$17.5~~ $13.4 billion, the amounts of the designated hedged items was ~~$8.8~~$7.3 billion and the cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was $13 million.

(2)The balance includes $6 ~~million.~~million of hedging adjustments on discontinued hedging relationships at September 30, 2021.

Cash Flow Hedges

To manage interest rate risk on our variable-interest rate loan portfolio, we enter into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against future changes in interest rates by using hedging instruments to lock in future cash inflows that would otherwise be impacted by movements in the market interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and record them in other assets and other liabilities. For qualifying cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in AOCI and recognized in earnings as the hedged item affects earnings. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item in the line item ~~"Loans"~~"loans" as part of interest income, a component of consolidated net income.

We assess hedge effectiveness under ASC 815 on a quarterly basis to ensure all hedges remain highly effective and hedge accounting under ASC 815 can be applied. If the hedging relationship no longer exists or no longer qualifies as a hedge per ASC 815, any amounts remaining as gain or loss in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the line item ~~"Loans"~~"loans" as part of interest income, a component of consolidated net income. As of March 31, 2020, all derivatives previously classified as hedges with notional balances totaling $5.0 billion and a net asset fair value of $228 million were terminated. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the total unrealized gains on terminated cash flow hedges remaining in AOCI was ~~$148~~$132 million, ~~$107~~$95 million net of tax. The unrealized gains will be reclassified into interest income as the underlying forecasted transactions impact earnings through the original maturity of the hedged forecasted transactions. The total remaining term over which the unrealized gains will be reclassified into earnings is approximately four years.

Currency Exchange Risk

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure risk associated with the net difference between foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. We do not designate any foreign exchange forward contracts as derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting. Gains or losses from changes in currency rates on foreign currency denominated instruments are recorded in the line item “other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income. We may experience ineffectiveness in the economic hedging relationship, because the instruments are revalued based upon changes in the currency’s spot rate on the principal value, while the forwards are revalued on a discounted cash flow basis. We record forward agreements in gain positions in other assets and loss positions in other liabilities, while net changes in fair value are recorded in the line item “other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

Other Derivative Instruments

Also included in our derivative instruments are equity warrant assets and client forward and option contracts, and client interest rate contracts. For further description of these other derivative instruments, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" under Part II, Item 8 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk if counterparties to our derivative contracts do not perform as expected. We mitigate counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and obtaining collateral, as appropriate. With respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for derivative instruments, we measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net risk basis by counterparty portfolio.

Gains on investment securities, net

Net gains on investment securities include both gains and losses from our non-marketable and other equity securities, which include public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, gains and losses from sales of our AFS debt securities portfolio, when applicable, and carried interest.

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies, which includes public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, and qualified affordable housing projects. We experience variability in the performance of our non-marketable and other equity securities from period to period, which results in net gains or losses on investment securities (both realized and unrealized). This variability is due to a number of factors, including unrealized changes in the values of our investments, changes in the amount of realized gains from distributions, changes in liquidity events and general economic and market conditions. Unrealized gains from non-marketable and other equity securities for any single period are typically driven by valuation changes.

The extent to which any unrealized gains or losses will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including, among other things, the expiration of certain sales restrictions to which these equity securities may be subject to (e.g., lock-up agreements), changes in prevailing market prices, market conditions, the actual sales or distributions of securities, and the timing of such actual sales or distributions, which, to the extent such securities are managed by our managed funds, are subject to our funds' separate discretionary sales/distributions and governance processes.

Carried interest is comprised of preferential allocations of profits recognizable when the return on assets of our individual managed fund of funds and direct venture funds exceeds certain performance targets and is payable to us, as the general partners of the managed funds. The carried interest we earn is often shared with employees, who are also members of the general partner entities. We record carried interest on a quarterly basis by measuring fund performance to date versus the performance target. For our unconsolidated managed funds, carried interest is recorded as gains on investment securities, net. For our consolidated managed funds, it is recorded as a component of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Carried interest allocated to others is recorded as a component of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Any carried interest paid to us (or our employees) may be subject to reversal to the extent fund performance declines to a level where inception to date carried interest is lower than actual payments made by the funds. The limited partnership agreements for our funds provide that carried interest is generally not paid to the general partners until the funds have provided a full return of contributed capital to the limited partners. Accrued, but unpaid carried interest may be subject to reversal to the extent that the fund performance declines to a level where inception-to-date carried interest is less than prior amounts recognized. Carried interest income is accounted for under an ownership model based on ASC 323 — Equity Method of Accounting and ASC 810 — Consolidation.

Our AFS securities portfolio is a fixed income investment portfolio that is managed with the objective of earning an appropriate portfolio yield over the long-term while maintaining sufficient liquidity and credit diversification as well as addressing our asset/liability management objectives. Though infrequent, sales of debt securities in our AFS securities portfolio may result in net gains or losses and are conducted pursuant to the guidelines of our investment policy related to the management of our liquidity position and interest rate risk.

Gains on investment securities are recognized outside of the scope of ASC 606 as it explicitly excludes noninterest income earned from our investment-related activities. A summary of gains and losses on investment securities for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Fees are recognized monthly based on the average monthly, beginning-of-quarter, or, for a small number of clients, end-of-quarter market value of the Private Bank AUM and the applicable fee rate, depending on the terms of the contracts. Fees are also recognized monthly based either on a fixed fee amount or are based on the quarter-end (in arrears) market value of the Private Bank AUM and the applicable fee rate, depending on the terms of the contracts. No performance-based incentives are earned under wealth management contracts. Receivables are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" line item.

Investment banking revenue

We earn investment banking revenue from clients for providing services related to securities underwriting, private placements and advisory services on strategic matters such as mergers and acquisitions. Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized at the point in time when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. Once the offering is completed, the performance obligation has been satisfied; we recognize the applicable management fee as well as the underwriting fee, net of consideration payable to customers. Private placement fees are recognized at the point in time when the private placement is completed, which is generally when the client accepts capital from the fund raise. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are generally recognized at the point in time when the related transaction is completed. Expenses are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other deal-related expenses are expensed as incurred. We have determined that we act as principal in the majority of these transactions and therefore present expenses gross within other operating expenses.

Commissions

Commissions include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities. The execution of each trade order represents a distinct performance obligation and the transaction price is fixed at the point in time or trade order execution. Trade execution is satisfied at the point in time that the customer has control of the asset and as such, fees are recorded on a trade date basis. Commissions are presented in the "Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers" ~~table~~tables below.

Other

Other noninterest income primarily includes income from fund management fees, gains from conversion of convertible debt options and service revenue. Fund management fees are comprised of fees charged directly to our managed funds of funds and direct venture funds. Fund management fees are based upon the contractual terms of the limited partnership agreements and are generally recognized as earned over the specified contract period, which is generally equal to the life of the individual fund. Fund management fees are calculated as a percentage of committed capital and collected in advance and are received quarterly. Fund management fees for certain of our limited partnership agreements are calculated as a percentage of distributions made by the funds and revenue is recorded only at the time of a distribution event. As distribution events are not predetermined for these certain funds, management fees are considered variable and constrained under ASC 606.

Gains from conversion of convertible debt options represent unrealized valuation gains on loan conversion derivative assets, and realized gains from the conversion of debt instruments, convertible into a third party’s common stock upon a triggering event such as an IPO. Gains from conversion of convertible debt options are recognized outside of the scope of ASC 606 as it explicitly excludes noninterest income earned from our derivative-related activities.

Other service revenue primarily consists of dividend income on FHLB/FRB stock, correspondent bank rebate income, incentive fees, or performance fees related to carried interest and other fee income. We recognize revenue when our performance obligations are met and record revenues on a daily/monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of cash settlements or invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, and unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to receipt of consideration. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, changes in our contract assets, contract liabilities and receivables were not material. Additionally, revenues recognized during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 that were included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods were not material.

~~12.~~ Segment Reporting

We have 4 reportable segments for management reporting purposes: Global Commercial Bank, SVB Private Bank, SVB Capital and SVB Leerink. The results of our reportable and operating segments are based on our internal management reporting process.

Our Global Commercial Bank and SVB Private Bank segments primary source of revenue is from net interest income, which is primarily the difference between interest earned on loans, net of FTP, and interest paid on deposits, net of FTP. Accordingly, these segments are reported using net interest income, net of FTP. FTP is an internal measurement framework designed to assess the financial impact of a financial institution’s sources and uses of funds. It is the mechanism by which a funding credit is given for deposits raised, and a funding charge is made for funded loans. FTP is calculated at an instrument level based on account characteristics.

We also evaluate performance based on provision for credit losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense, which are presented as components of segment operating profit or loss. In calculating each operating segment’s noninterest expense, we consider the direct costs incurred by the operating segment as well as certain allocated direct costs. As part of this review, we allocate certain corporate overhead costs to a corporate account. We do not allocate income tax expense or the provisions for unfunded credit commitments or HTM securities (included in provision for credit losses) to our segments. Additionally, our management reporting model is predicated on average asset balances; therefore, period-end asset balances are not presented for segment reporting purposes. Changes in an individual client’s primary relationship designation have resulted, and in the future may result, in the inclusion of certain clients in different segments in different periods.

Unlike financial reporting, which benefits from the comprehensive structure provided by GAAP, our internal management reporting process is highly subjective, as there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management reporting. Our management reporting process measures the performance of our operating segments based on our internal operating structure, which is subject to change from time to time, and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial services companies.

For reporting purposes, SVB Financial Group has 4 reportable segments for which we report our financial information:

•Global Commercial Bank is comprised of results from the following operating segments:

Commitments to Invest in Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds

We make commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, which generally make investments in privately-held companies. Commitments to invest in these funds are generally made for a 10-year period from the inception of the fund. Although the limited partnership agreements governing these investments typically do not restrict the general partners from calling 100% of committed capital in one year, it is customary for these funds to call most of the capital commitments over 5 to 7 years, and in certain cases, the funds may not call 100% of committed capital. The actual timing of future cash requirements to fund these commitments is generally dependent upon the investment cycle, overall market conditions, and the nature and type of industry in which the privately held companies operate. The following table details our total capital commitments, unfunded capital commitments, and our ownership percentage in each fund at ~~June~~September 30, 2021:

~~14.~~13. Income Taxes

We are subject to income tax and non-income based taxes by the U.S. federal tax authorities as well as various state and foreign tax authorities. We have identified the U.S. federal and California state jurisdictions as major tax filings. Our U.S. federal tax returns remain open to full examination for 2017 and subsequent tax years. Our California tax returns remain open to full examination for 2016 and subsequent tax years.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our unrecognized tax benefit was ~~$22~~$32 million, the recognition of which would reduce our income tax expense by ~~$18~~$26 million. We do not expect that our unrecognized tax benefit will materially change in the next 12 months.

We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income before income taxes. Interest and penalties were not material for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

~~15.~~14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

Our AFS securities, derivative instruments and certain non-marketable and other equity securities are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We make estimates regarding valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value in preparing our interim consolidated financial statements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable and on the significance of those inputs in the fair value measurement. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data and views of market participants. The three levels for measuring fair value are based on the reliability of inputs and are as follows:

Level 1

Fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include U.S. Treasury securities, foreign government debt securities, exchange-traded equity securities, ~~and~~ certain marketable securities accounted for under fair value ~~accounting.~~accounting, and assets and liabilities related to the deferred compensation plan assumed during the merger with Boston Private.

Level 2

Fair value measurements based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly. Valuations for the AFS securities are provided by independent pricing service providers who have experience in valuing these securities and by comparison to and/or average of quoted market prices obtained from independent brokers. We perform a monthly analysis on the values received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. The procedures include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of third-party pricing methodologies, review of pricing trends and monitoring of trading volumes. Additional corroboration, such as obtaining a non-binding price from a broker, may be obtained depending on the frequency of trades of the security and the level of liquidity or depth of the market. We ensure prices received from independent brokers represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value through the use of observable market inputs including comparable trades, yield curve, spreads and, when available, market indices. As a result of this analysis, if the Company determines that there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party is adjusted accordingly. Below is a summary of the significant inputs used for each class of Level 2 assets and liabilities:

U.S. agency debentures: Fair value measurements of U.S. agency debentures are based on the characteristics specific to bonds held, such as issuer name, issuance date, coupon rate, maturity date and any applicable issuer call option features. Valuations are based on market spreads relative to similar term benchmark market interest rates, generally U.S. Treasury securities.

Agency-issued MBS: Agency-issued MBS are pools of individual conventional mortgage loans underwritten to U.S. agency standards with similar coupon rates, tenor, and other attributes such as geographic location, loan size and origination vintage. Fair value measurements of these securities are based on observable price adjustments relative to benchmark market interest rates taking into consideration estimated loan prepayment speeds.

Agency-issued CMO: Agency-issued CMO are structured into classes or tranches with defined cash flow characteristics and are collateralized by U.S. agency-issued mortgage pass-through securities. Fair value measurements of these securities incorporate similar characteristics of mortgage pass-through securities such as coupon rate, tenor, geographic location, loan size and origination vintage, in addition to incorporating the effect of estimated prepayment speeds on the cash flow structure of the class or tranche. These measurements incorporate observable market spreads over an estimated average life after considering the inputs listed above.

Agency-issued CMBS: Fair value measurements of these securities are based on spreads to benchmark market interest rates (usually U.S. Treasury rates or rates observable in the swaps market), prepayment speeds, loan default rate assumptions and loan loss severity assumptions on underlying loans.

Foreign exchange forward and option contract assets and liabilities: Fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities are priced based on spot and forward foreign currency rates and option volatility assumptions.

Table of Contents

Interest rate derivative and interest rate swap assets and liabilities: Fair value measurements of interest rate derivatives and interest rate swaps are priced considering the coupon rate of the fixed leg of the contract and the

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

variable coupon rate on the floating leg of the contract. Valuation is based on both spot and forward rates on the swap yield curve and the credit worthiness of the contract counterparty.

Other equity securities: Fair value measurements of equity securities of public companies are priced based on quoted market prices less a discount if the securities are subject to certain sales restrictions. Certain sales restriction discounts generally range from 10 percent to 20 percent depending on the duration of the sale restrictions which typically range from three to six months.

Level 3

The fair value measurement is derived from valuation techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset. The valuation techniques are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or the cost approach used to measure fair value. Below is a summary of the valuation techniques used for each class of Level 3 assets:

Venture capital and private equity fund investments not measured at net asset value: Fair value measurements are based on consideration of a range of factors including, but not limited to, the price at which the investment was acquired, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, and as it relates to the private company, the current and projected operating performance, exit strategies and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the information about each portfolio company, including actual and forecasted results, cash position, recent or planned transactions and market comparable companies. Significant changes to any one of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value measurement; however, we generally consider all factors available through ongoing communication with the portfolio companies and venture capital fund managers to determine whether there are changes to the portfolio company or the environment that indicate a change in the fair value measurement.

Equity warrant assets (public portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of publicly-traded portfolio companies are valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model uses the price of publicly-traded companies (underlying stock price), stated strike prices, warrant expiration dates, the risk-free interest rate and market-observable option volatility assumptions. Modeled asset values are further adjusted by applying a discount of up to 20 percent for certain warrants that have certain sales restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted. As sale restrictions are lifted, discounts are adjusted downward to zero once all restrictions expire or are removed.

Equity warrant assets (private portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of private portfolio companies are priced based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the asset value by using stated strike prices, option expiration dates, risk-free interest rates and option volatility assumptions. Option volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are based on public market indices whose members operate in similar industries as companies in our private company portfolio. Option expiration dates are modified to account for estimates to actual life relative to stated expiration. Overall model asset values are further adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company. There is a direct correlation between changes in the volatility and remaining life assumptions in isolation and the fair value measurement while there is an inverse correlation between changes in the liquidity discount assumption and the fair value measurement.

The extent to which any unrealized gains or losses will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including, among other things, the expiration of current sales restrictions to which these securities are subject, the actual sales of securities and the timing of such actual sales.

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for certain of our Level 3 fair value measurements at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(1)We adjust quoted market prices of public companies, which are subject to certain sales restrictions. Sales restriction discounts generally range from 10 percent to 20 percent depending on the duration of the sales restrictions, which typically range from three to six months.

(2)Our marketability discount is applied to all private company warrants to account for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company. The quantitative measure used is based upon various option-pricing models. On a quarterly basis, a sensitivity analysis is performed on our marketability discount.

(3)We adjust the contractual remaining term of private company warrants based on our estimate of the actual remaining life, which we determine by utilizing historical data on terminations and exercises. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the weighted average contractual remaining term was ~~6.7~~6.6 years, compared to our estimated remaining life of ~~2.7~~2.6 years. On a quarterly basis, a sensitivity analysis is performed on our remaining life assumption.

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not have any transfers between Level 3 and Level 1. All transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 were due to the transfer of equity warrant assets from our private portfolio to our public portfolio (see our Level 3 reconciliation above).

Investments in Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share

FASB guidance over certain fund investments requires that we disclose the fair value of funds, significant investment strategies of the investees, redemption features of the investees, restrictions on the ability to sell investments, estimate of the period of time over which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by the investee, and unfunded commitments related to the investments.

Our investments in debt funds and venture capital and private equity fund investments generally cannot be redeemed. Alternatively, we expect distributions, if any, to be received primarily through IPO and M&A activity of the underlying assets of the fund. Subject to applicable requirements under the Volcker Rule, we do not have any plans to sell any of these fund investments. If we decide to sell these investments in the future, the investee fund’s management must approve of the buyer before the sale of the investments can be completed. The fair values of the fund investments have been estimated using the net asset value per share of the investments, adjusted for any differences between our measurement date and the date of the fund investment’s net asset value by using the most recently available financial information from the investee general partner, for example ~~March 31~~June 30stth for our ~~June~~September 30th consolidated financial statements, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

The following table is a summary of the estimated fair values of these investments and remaining unfunded commitments for each major category of these investments as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021:


(Dollars in millions)	(Dollars in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Unfunded Commitments		(Dollars in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Unfunded Commitments

(1)Venture capital and private equity fund investments within non-marketable securities (fair value accounting) include investments made by our managed funds of funds and one of our direct venture funds (consolidated VIEs) and investments in venture capital and private equity fund investments (unconsolidated VIEs). Collectively, these investments in venture capital and private equity funds are primarily in U.S. and global technology and life science/healthcare companies. Included in the fair value and unfunded commitments of fund investments under fair value accounting are ~~$79~~$102 million and $2 million, respectively, attributable to noncontrolling interests. It is estimated that we will receive distributions from the fund investments over the next 10 to 13 years, depending on the age of the funds and any potential extensions of terms of the funds.

(2)Venture capital and private equity fund investments, debt funds, and other fund investments within non-marketable securities (equity method accounting) include funds that invest in or lend money to primarily U.S. and global technology and life science/healthcare companies. It is estimated that we will receive distributions from the funds over the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the age of the funds and any potential extensions of the terms of the funds.

~~16.~~15. Legal Matters

Certain lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us and/or our affiliates, and we may from time to time be involved in other legal or regulatory proceedings. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish accruals for all such matters, including expected settlements, when we believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, we do not establish an accrual. Any such loss estimates are inherently uncertain, based on currently available information and are subject to management’s judgment and various assumptions. Due to the inherent subjectivity of these estimates and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate resolution of such matters.

To the extent we believe any potential loss relating to such matters may have a material impact on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, results of operations, and/or our business as a whole and is reasonably possible but not probable, we aim to disclose information relating to such potential loss. We also aim to disclose information relating to any material potential loss that is probable but not reasonably estimable. In such cases, where reasonably practicable, we aim to

Table of Contents

provide an estimate of loss or range of potential loss. No disclosures are generally made for any loss contingencies that are deemed to be remote.

Based upon information available to us, our review of lawsuits and claims filed or pending against us to date and consultation with our outside legal counsel, we have not recognized a material accrual liability for any such matters, nor do we currently expect that these matters will result in a material liability to the Company. However, the outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that one or more of such matters currently pending or threatened could have an unanticipated material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, results of operations, and/or our business as a whole, in the future.

~~17.~~16. Related Parties

We have no material related party transactions requiring disclosure. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank may extend credit to related parties, including executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their related interests. Additionally, we provide real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our EHOP. For additional details, see Note 19 — “Employee Compensation and Benefit Plans" under Part II, Item 8 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in particular “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under Part I, Item 2 of this report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, management has in the past and might in the future make forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Broadly speaking, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Financial projections, including with respect to our net interest income, net interest margin, noninterest income, EPS, noninterest expenses (including professional services, compliance, compensation and other costs), cash flows, balance sheet positions, capital expenditures, deposit growth, liquidity and capitalization, effective tax rate or other financial items;

•Descriptions of our strategic initiatives, plans or objectives for future operations, including pending sales or acquisitions, such as the continuing integration of Boston ~~Private;~~Private and the expansion of SVB Leerink into the technology investment banking sector;

•Forecasts of private equity and venture capital funding, investment level and exit activity;

•Forecasts of future interest rates, economic performance, and income from investments;

•Forecasts of expected levels of provisions for credit losses, net loan charge-offs, nonperforming loans, loan growth, loan mix, loan yields and client funds;

•The outlook on our clients' performance;

•The potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and

•Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing.

You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “becoming,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “assume,” “seek,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” and the negative of such words, or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we have based these expectations on our current beliefs as well as our assumptions, and such expectations may not prove to be correct. 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 our control. Our actual results of operations and financial performance could differ significantly from those expressed in or implied by our management’s forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ from the expectations stated in the forward-looking statements include, among others:

•~~Market~~market and economic conditions (including the general condition of the capital and equity markets, and IPO, secondary offering, SPAC fundraising, M&A and financing activity levels) and the associated impact on us (including effects on client demand for our commercial and investment banking and other financial services, as well as on the valuations of our investments);

•~~The~~the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, and its effects on our operations, including, as a result of, prolonged work-from-home arrangements;

•~~The~~the impact of changes from the Biden-Harris administration and the U.S. Congress on the economic environment, capital markets and regulatory landscape, including monetary, tax and other trade ~~policies;~~policies, or the economic impact from the US Congress failing to increase the statutory debt ceiling;

•~~Changes~~changes in the volume and credit quality of our loans as well as volatility of our levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs;

•~~The~~the impact of changes in interest rates or market levels or factors affecting or affected by them, especially on our loan and investment portfolios;

•~~The~~the adequacy of our ACL and the need to make provisions for credit losses for any period;

•~~The~~the sufficiency of our capital and liquidity provisions;

•~~Changes~~changes in the levels of our loans, deposits and client investment fund balances;

•~~Changes~~changes in the performance or equity valuations of funds or companies in which we have invested or hold derivative instruments or equity warrant assets;

•~~Variations~~variations from our expectations as to factors impacting our cost structure;

•~~Changes~~our ability to attract and retain the appropriate talent to support our operations growth;

Management’s Overview of ~~Second~~Third Quarter 2021 Performance

~~The second quarter was yet~~We delivered another quarter of ~~outstanding~~exceptional financial performance asin the third quarter. Robust global venture capital and private equity fundraising, investment and exit activity continued in the third quarter, generating ample liquidity for our clients and strong markets and effective execution continued to drive our extraordinary growth. We delivered excellent performance across our business as we hit a new milestone of $50 billion in period-end loan balances, warrant and investment gains of $314 million, net of noncontrolling interests, record foreign exchange fees, robust SVB Leerink revenues of $120 million and average client funds of $308 billion. Continuing the trend of recent quarters, our balance sheet growth more than offset pressure from the low rate environment, driving net interest income to a 42 percent increase from the year ago quarter. Additionally, credit quality remains stable as economic conditions continued to improve.

We continued to invest in our strategic priorities to drive and support our long-term growth. During the quarter, we expanded SVB Leerink, which has been actively hiring leaders and senior bankers to help enhance capabilities and capacity. On July 1, we closedfor us, amplified by our acquisition of Boston Private. Compared to a year ago, our average assets more than doubled, driven primarily by increases in our average fixed income securities and loan balances.

~~for~~income also grew compared to the third quarter of 2020 due to the addition of wealth management and trust fees from Boston Private in the third quarter of 2021 as well as increases in our foreign exchange fees and credit cards fees. SVB Leerink also continued to deliver strong revenues while robust private ~~company stock. Lastly,~~markets drove warrant and investment gains during the quarter.

We continue to execute on our strategic vision, extending and diversifying our business to support our innovative clients as they grow. As mentioned before, we completed our acquisition of Boston Private and turned our focus to integrating our Private Bank and Wealth Management capabilities and teams. We also significantly expanded our investment banking capabilities with key new hires in Technology, Healthcare Services and HealthTech investment banking at SVB Leerink. We are also accelerating our investment to create an enhanced client experience across all our businesses by creating an integrated, end-to-end digital banking and digital client onboarding solution. We are also making additional investments in platform upgrades, application programming interfaces and payment enablement solutions to ensure we can continue to add value throughout our clients' life cycles.

To support our continued balance sheet growth, we issued 2,227,000 shares resulting in an additional $1.2 billion, net, of common equity during the third quarter. Additionally, on ~~continuous infrastructure~~October 28, 2021, we issued $2.25 billion in debt and ~~regulatory investments supports~~equity comprised of: (1) $650 million of senior notes, (2) $1.0 billion of preferred stock Series D, and (3) $600 million of preferred stock Series E.

~~Our exceptional balance sheet growth continued to outpace our forecasts.

Continuing COVID-19 Pandemic Environment

The global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented challenges and volatility in economic, market and business conditions. It has caused significant economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected or otherwise impacted our business, financial condition and results of operations.

~~In recent months there has been some improvement in~~During the ~~economic environment~~third quarter of 2021, the economy continued to generally improve with increased vaccine rates and resilience in the markets in which we operate. With the seemingly wider availability and distribution of vaccinations and the easing of some restrictions in the U.S. and other parts of the world, we have seen steps towards broader containment.business activity. However, there still remains much uncertainty around containment of the pandemic and the trajectory of the broader economic recovery, particularly in light of the ~~recent~~ spread of ~~variants of~~ the ~~virus~~Delta variant that ~~have~~has caused the number of cases to increase in the United States and other international locations where we operate. We cannot predict at this time the scope and duration of the pandemic, which will depend on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the extent and spread of the Delta variant and other variants of the virus; the availability, adoption and efficacy of vaccines and vaccine booster shots, as well as government and other actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, such as stay at home orders, restrictions on business activities, health and safety guidelines, economic relief for individuals and businesses, and monetary policy measures. The economic, market and business conditions impacted by COVID-19 may be slow to recover or may worsen if the pandemic continues for a prolonged period of time. Even if the pandemic subsides, there may be additional variants of the virus or a resurgence of the pandemic, as we have seen domestically and internationally. We continue to be subject to heightened business, operational (including fraud), market, credit and other risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic environment, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. (See “Risk Factors” under Part II, Item 1A of this report).

Reference Rate Reform

Following the 2017 announcement by the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority that it would no longer compel participating banks to submit rates for LIBOR after 2021, regulators, trade associations and financial industry working groups have identified recommended replacement rates for LIBOR, as well as other Interbank Offered Rates, and have published recommended conventions to allow new and existing products to incorporate ~~fallbacks.~~fallbacks or that reference these Alternative Reference Rates. The continuation of all British Pound Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on the current basis are due to terminate at the end of December 2021, with the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings (i.e., overnight, one month, three month, six month and 12 month) expected to terminate at the end of June 2023. Therefore, existing contracts referencing all other U.S. dollar LIBOR settings must be remediated no later than June 30, 2023. We hold instruments that may be impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR, including loans, investments, and derivative products that use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. Our LIBOR exposure is primarily in settings other than 1-week or 2-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.

We have established a LIBOR Transition Program to identify and address all LIBOR transition issues, consisting of dedicated leadership and staff that engage with relevant business lines and support groups. As part of this program, we continue to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR. As such, we have implemented a process to assess the population of loans and contracts that will be impacted by this reference rate reform. As of March 31, 2021, we ceased issuing new loans ~~denominated~~ in British Pound Sterling, Euro, or Swiss Franc that reference LIBOR. We plan to no longer offer U.S. dollar LIBOR-based loans effective December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

We intend to ~~offer~~adopt SOFR as aour preferred replacement index for U.S. dollar LIBOR. SOFR is the ARRC preferred alternative to U.S. dollar LIBOR. It represents a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and is compliant with IOSCO standards. Furthermore, SOFR is suitable for use across a broad range of financial products, including derivatives and many cash products that historically referenced U.S. dollar LIBOR.

As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $16.1 billion of loans that reference LIBOR, $118 million fixed-income investment securities that reference LIBOR and $2.8 billion of notional balance exposure for our derivative contracts that reference LIBOR.

We are currently evaluating the use and when we might apply the allowable practical expedients under ASU 2020-04, Reference rate Reform (Topic 848), which became effective on March 12, 2020, as it relates to our loans, investment securities and derivative portfolios.

+ Consists of fee income for deposit services, letters of credit and standby letters of credit, credit cards, client investments, wealth management and trust, foreign exchange and lending-related activities. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. (See the non-GAAP reconciliation under “Results of Operations—Noninterest Income”)

++ Consists of investment banking revenue and commissions. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. (See the non-GAAP reconciliation under “Results of Operations—Noninterest Income”).

~~+++~~ This ratio excludes certain financial line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control and excludes SVB Leerink revenue and expenses. It is calculated by dividing noninterest expense after adjusting for noninterest expense attributable to SVB Leerink, merger-related charges resulting from the acquisition of Boston Private and other non-recurring expenses by total revenue after adjusting for noninterest income attributable to SVB Leerink, net gains or losses on investment securities and equity warrant assets, investment banking revenue and commissions. Additionally, noninterest expense and total revenue are adjusted for income or losses and expenses attributable to noncontrolling interests and adjustments to net interest income for a taxable equivalent basis. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. (See the non-GAAP reconciliation under "Results of Operations-Noninterest Expense").

++++ In March 2020, the federal banking agencies provided transitional relief to banking organizations with respect to the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. Under the 2020 CECL Transition Rule, banking organizations may delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year period to phase out the aggregate capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. We have elected to use this five-year transition option. For additional details, see "Capital Resources" within "Consolidated Financial Condition" under Part 1, Item 2 of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our financial condition and results of operations. We have identified one policy as being critical because it requires us to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and we base these estimates on historical experiences and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under Part II, Item 7 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Net interest income is defined as the difference between: (i) interest earned on loans, fixed income investments in our AFS and HTM securities portfolios and short-term investment securities and (ii) interest paid on funding sources. Net interest margin is defined as annualized net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis to consistently reflect income from taxable loans and securities and tax-exempt securities based on the applicable federal statutory tax rate.

Analysis of Net Interest Income Changes Due to Volume and Rate (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “volume change.” Net interest income is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “rate change.” The following table sets forth changes in interest income for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest expense for each major category of interest-bearing liabilities. The table also reflects the amount of simultaneous changes attributable to both volume and rate changes for the periods indicated. For this table, changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate.

Net Interest Income (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

Net interest income increased by ~~$218~~$327 million to ~~$735~~$859 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$517~~$532 million for the comparable 2020 period. Overall, our net interest income increased primarily from our fixed income investment securities and loans due to increases in average balances. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by lower yields on fixed income investment securities and loans. Upon completion of the Boston Private acquisition, a $104 million fair market value adjustment was made on the acquired loans. that will be amortized into loan interest income over the contractual terms of the underlying loans using the constant effective yield method. The adjustment will be approximately 90 percent amortized by the end of fiscal year 2023. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, $20 million of premium amortization partially offset the overall increase in net interest income.

The main factors affecting interest income and interest expense for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to the comparable 2020 period are discussed below:

•Interest income for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased by ~~$230~~$344 million due primarily to:

◦A ~~$122~~$191 million increase in interest income from our fixed income investment securities due primarily to an increase of ~~$46.4~~$61.2 billion in average fixed income investment ~~securities.~~securities driven by exceptional average deposit growth. The increase in interest income from growth of our average fixed income investment securities was partially offset by declines in yields earned on these investments reflective of the lower interest rate market environment, and

◦A ~~$107~~$150 million increase in interest income on loans to ~~$472~~$519 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$365~~$369 million for the comparable 2020 period. The increase was reflective of an increase in average loan balances of ~~$13.3~~$22.0 billion, partially offset by a decrease in overall loan yields of ~~22 basis points~~46 bps to ~~3.80~~3.47 percent from ~~4.02~~3.93 percent. Gross loan yields, excluding loan interest recoveries and loan fees, decreased ~~22 basis points~~23 bps to ~~3.26~~3.18 percent from ~~3.48~~3.41 percent, driven by growth in our ~~higher credit quality~~lower yielding Global Fund Banking ~~portfolio.~~portfolio as well as the addition of lower yielding Boston Private loans.

•Interest expense for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased by ~~$12~~$17 million due primarily to:

Table of Contents

◦~~A $6~~An $11 million increase in interest expense on deposits due primarily to an increase in average interest-bearing money market deposits balance partially driven by the addition of Boston Private deposits, and

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

◦A $6 million increase in interest expense on borrowings due primarily to interest expense on our ~~3.125% Senior Notes issued in June 2020, our~~ 1.800% Senior Notes issued in February 2021 and our 2.100% Senior Notes issued in May 2021.

~~Six~~Nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

•Interest income for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased by ~~$344~~$688 million due primarily to:

◦A ~~$202~~$394 million increase in interest income from our fixed income investment securities due primarily to an increase of ~~$36.5~~$44.8 billion in average fixed income investment ~~securities.~~securities driven by exceptional average deposit growth. The increase in interest income from growth of our average fixed income investment securities was partially offset by declines in yields earned on these investments reflective of the lower interest rate market environment, and

◦A ~~$155~~$305 million increase in interest income on loans to ~~$903 million~~$1.4 billion for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$748 million~~$1.1 billion for the comparable 2020 period. The increase was reflective of an increase in average loan balances of ~~$13.0~~$16.0 billion, partially offset by a decrease in overall loan yields of ~~50 basis points~~49 bps to ~~3.79~~3.67 percent from ~~4.29~~4.16 percent. Gross loan yields, excluding loan interest recoveries and loan fees, decreased ~~53 basis points~~43 bps to ~~3.26~~3.23 percent from ~~3.79~~3.66 percent, driven by growth in our ~~higher credit quality~~lower yielding Global Fund Banking portfolio, ~~as well as~~ decreases in Federal Funds rates in the first quarter of ~~2020.~~2020 and the addition of lower yielding Boston Private loans.

•Interest expense for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$12~~$5 million due primarily to:

◦A $21 million decrease in interest expense on deposits due primarily to a decrease in interest paid on our interest-bearing money market deposits due to the decreases in market rates, partially offset by

◦~~A $9~~$15 million increase in interest expense on borrowings due primarily to interest expense on our 3.125% Senior Notes issued in June 2020, our 1.800% Senior Notes issued in February 2021 and our 2.100% Senior Notes issued in May ~~2021.~~2021, partially offset by

◦A $10 million decrease in interest expense on deposits due primarily to a decrease in interest paid on our interest-bearing money market deposits due to the decreases in market rates, partially offset by an increase in average interest-bearing money market deposits balance.

Net Interest Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

•Our net interest margin decreased by ~~74 basis points~~58 bps to ~~2.06 percent~~1.95% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~2.80~~2.53 percent for the comparable 2020 period. The lower margin for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 was due primarily to higher growth in our lower-yielding cash and investment securities portfolio relative to the growth in our loan portfolio driven by significant growth in our average deposits, and a decrease in yields on loans ~~reflective of the shift in the loan mix~~ as discussed above. Average loans represented ~~34.8~~33.9 percent of average interest earnings assets for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~49.3~~44.6 percent for the comparable 2020 period.

~~Six~~Nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

•Our net interest margin decreased by ~~79 basis points~~71 bps to ~~2.16 percent~~2.08% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~2.95~~2.79 percent for the comparable 2020 period. The lower margin for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 was due primarily to higher growth in our lower-yielding cash and investment securities portfolio relative to the growth in our loan portfolio driven by significant growth in our average deposits, as well as a decrease in yields on loans ~~reflective of the shift in the loan mix~~ as ~~mentioned~~discussed above. Average loans represented ~~36.8~~35.6 percent of average interest earnings assets for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~49.3~~47.5 percent for the comparable 2020 period.

Average Balances, Yields and Rates Paid (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

The average yield earned on interest-earning assets is the amount of annualized fully taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate paid on funding sources is the amount of annualized interest expense expressed as a percentage of average funding sources. The following tables set forth average assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, preferred stock, and SVBFG stockholders’ equity, interest income, interest expense, annualized yields and rates, and the composition of our annualized net interest margin for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020:

(Reduction) Provision for Loans

We had a reduction in the provision for credit losses for loans of $16 million and $50 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to a provision of $52 million and $301 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The provision for loans of $16$9 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and a provision of $41 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a reduction of $54 million and provision of $247 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The reduction in provision for loans of $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by a ~~$15~~$69 million reduction in provision due to model enhancements and an $8 million reduction for recoveries. These reductions were largely

offset by a $44 million day one provision for Boston Private non-PCD loans, a $10 million provision for loan growth, ~~in our performing loans portfolio, as well as $4~~and an increase of $15 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for at ~~March 31, 2021,~~June 30, 2021.

The enhancements to our legacy SVB reserving model consisted primarily of (i) more granularprepayment modelling, (ii) the addition of two years of incremental data and ~~$7 million~~(iii) re-selection of certain macroeconomic variables. We refined our prepayment assumptions to be more granular and product-specific, with the largest impact being a lower weighted average life in our legacy Private Bank portfolio reflective of higher prepayment rates in that segment. The additional two years of portfolio data reflected generally strong credit performance, despite the recently stressed economic environment. The re-selection of variables applied across the entirety of the legacy SVB CECL model, though the resulting impact was most relevant to our legacy Private Bank portfolio. Our model for ~~new nonperforming loans. These provisions were partially offset by $3 million~~estimating the probability of ~~recoveries and a $7 million reduction in performing reserves~~default on legacy Private Bank loans previously referenced GDP as a ~~result~~key macroeconomic variable. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unprecedented volatility in GDP forecasts and modelling outcomes, some of which did not fully align with our expectation of credit losses in the ~~ongoing improvement~~Private Bank, given the majority of ~~economic scenarios~~this portfolio consists of mortgage loans and credit quality indicators remained strong. Based on our additional historical experience, we now believe the Housing Price Index is a more appropriate macroeconomic variable for this segment, particularly in terms of its performance during the COVID pandemic and our ~~forecast models.~~

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~expectation for Private Bank losses.

The ~~provision~~reduction for credit losses for loans of ~~$52~~$54 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 was driven primarily by ~~$26~~an $82 million reduction in ~~additional~~ reserves for our performing loans ~~based on~~reflective of improved economic scenarios in our forecast models, as well as a qualitative adjustment reflective of the period's economic environment under the CECL methodology adopted January 1, 2020, including qualitative adjustments to account for unprecedented economic forecast volatility, $24 million for net new nonaccrual loans and $11 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for at March 31, 2020, partially offset bystrong credit performance from our Private Bank portfolio segment, a $5 million decrease related to changes in loan composition within our portfolio segments and $4 million of recoveries. These decreases were partially offset by $23 million for net new nonaccrual loans and $15 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for at June 30, 2020. The reduction related to improved economic scenarios in our forecast models was driven primarily by our Investor Dependent Early-Stage portfolio segment which is more sensitive to the underlying macro-economic forecasts utilized in our CECL model as compared to the remaining portfolio segments as well as a decrease in balances in that portfolio segment.

The provision for credit losses for loans of ~~$50~~$41 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, was driven primarily by a ~~$33~~$43 million increase for growth in our ~~performing~~legacy loan portfolio, the $44 million provision for Boston Private loans, and ~~$90~~$104 million of charge-offs not specifically reserved for at December 31, 2020, of which $80 million was related to a single instance of potentially fraudulent activity as disclosed in previous filings. These increases in the provision were partially offset by $8$16 million of recoveries, ~~and~~ a $68 million reduction in performing reserves as a result of the ongoing improvement of economic scenarios in our forecast ~~models.~~models, and the $69 million reduction in provision due to model enhancements described above.

The provision for credit losses for loans of ~~$301~~$247 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 was driven primarily by ~~$217~~$135 million in additional reserves for our performing loans based on our forecast models of the current economic environment under the CECL methodology adopted January 1, 2020, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as changes in loan composition within our portfolio segments, ~~$36~~$58 million in ~~additional reserves for period-end loan growth, $24~~net new nonaccrual loans, $39 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for at December 31, 2019 and ~~$35~~$32 million in ~~net new nonaccrual loans,~~additional reserves for period-end loan growth, partially offset by ~~$12~~$16 million of recoveries.

Provision for Unfunded Credit Commitments

We recorded a provision for unfunded credit commitments of ~~$15~~$29 million and ~~a reduction in provision of $1~~$28 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to a provision of ~~$14~~$2 million and $9$11 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020. The provision of ~~$15~~$29 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by a $17 million increase attributable to commitment growth and changes in portfolio composition and a $10 million increase primarily from an increase in the expected future commitments for milestone tranches of Investor Dependent loans, which are tied to company performance or additional funding rounds, resulting in a longer weighted average life of these higher risk segments. Additionally, we recorded a provision of $2 million related to Boston Private unfunded commitments.

The provision for credit losses for unfunded credit commitments of $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was driven primarily by the forecast models of the current economic environment as well as changes in the unfunded credit commitments composition within our portfolio segments.

The provision for unfunded credit commitments of $28 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was driven primarily by growth in our outstanding commitments ~~as well~~and changes in the unfunded credit commitments composition within our ~~unfunded~~ portfolio ~~composition that resulted~~segments, including the changes described above. These increases were partially offset by improved economic scenarios in ~~a longer portfolio lifetime and a corresponding provision.~~our forecast models.

The provision for credit losses for unfunded credit commitments of ~~$14~~$11 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 was driven primarily by the forecast models of the current economic environment under the CECL methodology adopted January 1, 2020, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as changes in the unfunded credit commitments composition within our portfolio segments.

~~The reduction in provision for unfunded credit commitments~~Table of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was driven primarily by improved economic scenarios in our forecast models, partially offset by growth in our outstanding commitments and changes in the unfunded credit commitments composition within our portfolio segments.Contents

The provision for unfunded credit commitments of $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was driven primarily by a decrease in the expected future commitments for milestone tranches, which are tied to company performance or additional funding rounds, based on our forecast models of the economic environment, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross Loan Charge-Offs

Noninterest Income

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, noninterest income was ~~$761~~$672 million and ~~$1.5~~$2.2 billion, respectively, compared to ~~$369~~$547 million and ~~$670 million~~$1.2 billion for the comparable 2020 periods. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests was ~~$648~~$584 million and ~~$1.4~~$2.0 billion, respectively, compared to ~~$355~~$519 million and ~~$658 million~~$1.2 billion for the comparable 2020 periods. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue was ~~$292~~$311 million and ~~$617~~$928 million, respectively, compared to ~~$291~~$254 million and ~~$522~~$777 million for the comparable 2020 periods.

(See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance (including, but not limited to, non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue, non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue, non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities ~~non-GAAP noninterest expense~~ and non-GAAP financial ratios). These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most

Table of Contents

directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by (i) excluding items that represent income attributable to investors other than us and our subsidiaries and (ii) providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Included in net income is income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests. We recognize, as part of our investment funds management business through SVB Capital and SVB Leerink, the entire income or loss from funds consolidated in accordance with ASC Topic 810 as discussed in Note 1 — “Basis of Presentation” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100% of the results of these entities, even though we may own less than 100% of such entities. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” on our statements of income. Where applicable, the tables below for noninterest income and net gains on investment securities exclude noncontrolling interests.

Core fee income is a non-GAAP financial measure, which represents GAAP noninterest income, but excludes (i) SVB Leerink revenue, (ii) certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, primarily our net gains (losses) on investment securities and equity warrant assets, and (iii) other noninterest income. Core fee income represents client investment fees, wealth management and trust fees, foreign exchange fees, credit card fees, deposit service charges, lending related fees and letters of credit and standby letters of credit fees.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

SVB Leerink revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure, which represents noninterest income but excludes (i) Core fee income, and (ii) certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, primarily our net gains (losses) on investment securities and equity warrant assets, and other noninterest income. SVB Leerink revenue represents investment banking revenue and commissions.

Core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue is a non-GAAP measure, which represents GAAP noninterest income, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, primarily our net gains (losses) on investment securities and equity warrant assets, and other noninterest income. Core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue represents core fee income plus investment banking revenue and commissions.

Gains on Investment Securities, Net

Net gains on investment securities include gains and losses from our non-marketable and other equity securities, which include public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, as well as gains and losses from sales of our AFS debt securities portfolio, when applicable.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

results in net gains or losses on investment securities (both realized and unrealized). This variability is due to a number of factors, including unrealized changes in the values of our investments, changes in the amount of realized gains and losses from distributions, changes in liquidity events and general economic and market conditions. Unrealized gains or losses from non-marketable and other equity securities for any single period are typically driven by valuation changes, and are therefore subject to potential increases or decreases in future periods. Such variability may lead to volatility in the gains or losses from investment securities. As such, our results for a particular period are not necessarily indicative of our expected performance in a future period.

The extent to which any unrealized gains or losses will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including, among other things, the expiration of certain sales restrictions to which these equity securities may be subject to (e.g. lock-up agreements), changes in prevailing market prices, market conditions, the actual sales or distributions of securities, and the timing of such actual sales or distributions, which, to the extent such securities are managed by our managed funds, are subject to our funds' separate discretionary sales/distributions and governance processes.

Three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had net gains on investment securities of ~~$305~~$189 million, compared to ~~$35~~$190 million for the comparable 2020 period. Non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, were ~~$192~~$101 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to non-GAAP net gains, net of controlling interest of ~~$21~~$162 million for the comparable 2020 period.

Non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of ~~$192~~$101 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 were driven by the following:

•Gains of ~~$110~~$129 million from our managed fund of funds, strategic and other investments, and SVB Leerink portfolio driven by unrealized valuations increases of private and public positions, ~~as well as fund distributions driven primarily~~partially offset by ~~realized gains from one public company position, and~~

•~~Gains~~Losses of ~~$16~~$39 million from our public equity securities investments driven ~~primarily~~ by ~~realized gains of $38 million from the sale of Coinbase Global, Inc. ("Coinbase") common stock, offset by~~unrealized valuation decreases of positions held.

~~Six~~Nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we had net gains on investment securities of ~~$472~~$661 million, compared to ~~$81~~$271 million for the comparable 2020 period. Non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, were ~~$334~~$435 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$68~~$230 million for the comparable 2020 period. Non-GAAP net gains, net of noncontrolling interests, of ~~$334~~$435 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 were driven primarily by the following:

•Gains of ~~$128~~$184 million from our managed fund of funds portfolio driven by unrealized valuations increases of private and public positions as well as fund distributions driven primarily by realized gains from one public company position,

•Gains of ~~$88~~$107 million from our strategic and other investments driven primarily by net unrealized valuation increases, and

Client Investment Fees

Client investment fees were ~~$15~~$20 million and ~~$35~~$55 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to $32 million and ~~$75~~$107 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 periods. The decreases were reflective of a reduction in fee margin resulting from lower short-term market rates, offset by large increases in average off-balance sheet client investment funds. Given our expectations of a continued low rate environment, we generally expect client investment fees in 2021 to be lower than 2020.

~~Non-GAAP Noninterest Expense~~

We use and report non-GAAP noninterest expense, non-GAAP taxable equivalent revenue and non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio, which excludes noncontrolling interests, SVB Leerink, merger-related charges and other non-recurring expenses. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by: (i) excluding certain items that represent expenses attributable to investors other than us and our subsidiaries, or certain items that do not occur every reporting period; or (ii) providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or preferable to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(1) The non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense after adjusting for noninterest expense attributable to SVB Leerink, merger-related charges and other non-recurring expenses by total revenue after adjusting for net interest income attributable to SVB Leerink, net gains or losses on investment securities and equity warrant assets investment banking revenue and commissions. Additionally, noninterest expense and total revenue are adjusted for income or losses and expenses attributable to noncontrolling interests and adjustments to net interest income for a taxable equivalent basis.

Our GAAP operating efficiency ratio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 improved from the comparable 2020 periods, primarily as a result of (i) an increase in net interest income due to our fixed income investment securities and loans as a result of higher average balances and (ii) an increase in noninterest income due to higher net gains on investment securities and equity warrant assets, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense due to higher compensation and benefits expense and professional services expense.

Compensation and benefits expense was ~~$425~~$548 million and ~~$870 million~~$1.4 billion for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$320~~$327 million and ~~$575~~$903 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 periods. The key factors affecting changes in compensation and benefits expense were as follows:

•An increase of ~~$22~~$60 million and ~~$69~~$128 million in salaries and wages reflective primarily of the increase in the number of average FTE driven by both strong hiring for in-sourcing, product development, ~~and~~ revenue growth and the Boston

Private acquisition as well as ~~annual pay raises,~~new strategic hires to support the expansion of SVB Leerink's healthcare services and technology investment banking platform,

•An increase of ~~$41~~$125 million and ~~$125~~$250 million in incentive compensation plans expense related primarily to higher incentive compensation plan accruals as a result of ~~an improved~~stronger than expected performance during the year and our expected full-year 2021 financial ~~outlook~~results and an increase in the number of average FTEs related to the Boston Private acquisition as well as SVB Leerink's new technology investment banking platform, and

•An increase of ~~$42~~$36 million and ~~$101~~$137 million in other employee incentives and benefits driven primarily by an increase in ~~the warrant incentive plan due to strong warrant gains during the first half of 2021, an increase in~~group insurance and payroll taxes and ~~other employee benefits reflective of our increased headcount and an increase in~~ share-based compensation expense due to ~~an increase in equity~~the increased restricted stock awards granted ~~since June 30, 2020.~~during 2021.

Our variable compensation plans consist primarily of our Incentive Compensation Plan, Direct Drive Incentive Compensation Plan, Retention Program, Warrant Incentive Plan, Deferred Compensation Plan, 401(k) and ESOP Plan, SVB Leerink Incentive Compensation Plan and SVB Leerink Retention Award (see descriptions in our 2020 Form 10-K).

These amounts are included in total compensation and benefits expense discussed above.

Professional Services

Professional services expense was ~~$97~~$104 million and ~~$178~~$282 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$64~~$67 million and ~~$103~~$170 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 periods.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment expense was ~~$37~~$54 million and ~~$70~~$124 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$28~~$31 million and ~~$55~~$85 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 period. The increases were primarily related to ~~increased depreciation and~~the acquisition of Boston Private, as well as an increase in computer maintenance ~~expenses.~~expenses related to new vendor and project depreciation that began in the third quarter of 2021.

Net Occupancy

Net occupancy expense was ~~$17~~$25 million and ~~$35~~$60 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $19 million and ~~$37~~$56 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 periods. The ~~decreases~~increases were primarily driven by ~~our decision to vacate certain leased office spaces in~~ the ~~fourth quarter~~acquisition of ~~2020.~~

Business Development and Travel

Business development and travel expense was $3$6 million and $7$13 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $3$2 million and ~~$17~~$19 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 periods. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to easing COVID-19 restrictions on travel and social gatherings. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to the ~~continued~~year-to-date impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on domestic and international ~~travel.~~travel during 2021.

FDIC and State Assessments

FDIC and state assessments expense was ~~$10~~$13 million and ~~$20~~$33 million for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $7 million and ~~$12~~$19 million for the comparable ~~June~~September 30, 2020 periods. The increases were due primarily to the increase in our organic average ~~assets~~.deposits as well as the acquisition of Boston Private deposits.

Merger-Related Charges

Merger-related charges ~~were $19 million~~was a new noninterest expense line item for the second quarter of 2021 as a result of the Boston Private acquisition. A summary of merger-related charges, which includes direct acquisition costs for the three and ~~consisted primarily~~nine months ended September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Operating Efficiency Ratio

Our operating efficiency ratio increased to 57.68 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 45.66 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was driven by higher compensation and benefits expense, professional services expense, premises and ~~systems integration expenses related~~equipment expense and merger-related charges which was a new line item in 2021, partially offset by higher interest income on our loan and investment security portfolios and net gains on equity warrant assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our operating efficiency ratio was relatively flat compared to the ~~acquisition of Boston Private~~.same period one year ago.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Included in net income is income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests. The relevant amounts allocated to investors in our consolidated subsidiaries, other than us, are reflected under “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” on our statements of income.

In the table below, noninterest income consists primarily of net investment gains and losses from our consolidated funds. ~~Noninterest expense is primarily related to management fees paid by our managed funds to SVB Financial’s subsidiaries as the managed funds’ general partners.~~ A summary of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was ~~25.1~~27.6 percent and ~~25.5~~26.1 percent for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~27.3~~26.7 percent and ~~27.1~~26.9 percent for the comparable 2020 periods. The ~~decreases~~increase in our effective tax rate ~~were~~for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a one-time tax provision for changes in estimates in connection with the filing of our 2020 U.S. Federal corporate tax return and an increased tax reserve compared to the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by

an increase in the recognition of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation which is reflective of ~~the annual vesting of our restricted stock units as well as~~ an increase in our stock price. Our effective tax rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense by the sum of income before income tax expense and the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Operating Segment Results

We have four segments for which we report our financial information: Global Commercial Bank, SVB Private Bank, SVB Capital and SVB Leerink.

Three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

Income before income tax expense from our GCB increased to ~~$571~~$646 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$333~~$441 million for the comparable 2020 period. The key components of GCB's performance for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to the comparable 2020 period are discussed below.

Net interest income from GCB increased by ~~$230~~$261 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in loan interest income resulting primarily from higher average loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in loan yields. Gross loan yields, ~~as a result of the shift~~excluding loan interest recoveries and loan fees, decreased driven by growth in ~~the loan mix.~~our lower yielding Global Fund Banking portfolio. In addition, continued strong deposit growth provided a higher earnings credit and a ~~low rate~~low-rate environment produced a lower earnings charge for funded loans creating a benefit of a higher net FTP earnings credit.

~~The provision for~~A reduction of credit losses ~~decreased to $11~~of $29 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to ~~$44~~a reduction of credit losses of $38 million for the comparable 2020 period. The ~~provision~~reduction of ~~$11~~$29 millionfor the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 was driven primarily by a ~~$13 million increase related~~reduction in credit losses due to ~~loan growth, $9 million~~the previously discussed model enhancements (see “Results of Operations—Provision for Credit Losses—(Reduction) Provision for Loans.”), a decrease in net new nonaccrual loans and ~~$4 million for~~recoveries, partially offset by an increase in charge-offs not specifically reserved for at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 ~~partially offset by a $9 million reduction~~and an increase in ~~reserves~~provision for ~~our performing loans based on our forecast models of the economic environment and $3 million of recoveries.~~loan growth.

The ~~provision for credit losses~~reduction of ~~$44~~$38 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 was driven primarily by ~~$26 million~~a reduction in ~~additional~~ reserves for our performing loans based on our forecast models of the current economic environment under the CECL methodology adopted January 1, 2020, ~~$22 million for net new nonaccrual loans and $11 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for at March 31, 2020, partially offset by~~ a ~~$10 million~~ decrease related to changes in loan composition within our portfolio segments and ~~$4 million of recoveries.~~recoveries, partially offset by increases in net new nonaccrual loans and charge-offs not specifically reserved for at June 30, 2020.

Noninterest income increased by ~~$41~~$34 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 related primarily to an overall increase in our non-GAAP core fee income (higher foreign exchange fees, credit card fees, lending related fees and deposit service charges, partially offset by lower client investment fees). The overall increase was due primarily to higher foreign exchange, credit card and deposit transaction volumes which had a significant slowdown impact due to the COVID-19

Table of Contents

~~exchange, credit card and deposit transaction volumes,~~pandemic in 2020, an increase in unused commitment fees and an increase in average client fund balances attributable to the strong liquidity environment, partially offset by the impact of the federal funds rate decreases on client investment fee yields.

Noninterest expense increased by ~~$66~~$81 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, due primarily to compensation and benefits expense, ~~other noninterest~~professional services expense, premises and equipment expense and ~~premises and equipment~~other noninterest expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased ~~$56 million~~ as a result of higher incentive compensation expense and higher salaries and wages expenses. Incentive compensation expense increased ~~due~~reflective primarily toof an increase in our 2021 full-year projected financial performance. The increase in GCB salaries and wages was due primarily to ~~an increase in the~~a higher average number of FTEs at GCB, which increased to ~~3,328~~3,580 FTEs for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, from ~~2,822~~3,102 FTEs for the comparable 2020 period. Professional services expense increased due to higher consulting fees as we continue to focus on investing in our strategic priorities around developing agile ways of working, implementing an end-to-end digital banking platform and other product enhancement initiatives. Premises and equipment expense increased due to increased depreciation and computer maintenance expenses. Other noninterest expense increased due to an increase in FDIC and state assessments expense driven by higher average assets. ~~Premises and equipment expense increased due to increased depreciation and computer maintenance expenses.~~

~~Six~~Nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020

Net interest income from our GCB increased by ~~$385~~$646 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in loan interest income resulting mainly from higher average loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in loan yields as a result of growth in our higher credit quality Global Fund Banking portfolio as well as rate decreases. In addition, strong deposit growth provided a higher earnings credit and a ~~low rate~~low-rate environment produced a lower earnings charge for funded loans, creating a benefit of a higher net FTP earnings credit.

GCB had a provision for credit losses of ~~$56~~$27 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to a provision of ~~$238~~$200 million for the comparable 2020 period. The provision of ~~$56~~$27 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended~~June~~ September 30, 2021was driven primarily by ~~$90 million for~~ charge-offs not specifically reserved for at December 31, 2020, of which $80 million was related to the single instance of potentially fraudulent activity discussed in prior filings ~~a $30 million~~and an increase in provision related to loan growth, ~~and $3 million~~partially offset by a reduction in provision due to model enhancements, a decrease in net new nonaccrual loans ~~partially offset by a $56 million reduction in reserves for our performing loans based on our forecast models of the economic environment~~ and ~~$8 million of~~ recoveries.

The provision of ~~$238~~$200 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 was reflective primarily of ~~$167 million in~~ additional reserves for our performing loans based on our forecast models of the current economic environment under the CECL methodology adopted January 1, 2020, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as changes in loan composition within our portfolio segments, ~~$27 million in~~ additional reserves for ~~period-end~~ loan growth, ~~$24 million for~~an increase in charge-offs not specifically reserved for at December 31, 2019 and ~~$33 million~~an increase in net new nonaccrual loans, partially offset by ~~$12 million of~~ recoveries.

Noninterest income increased by ~~$33~~$67 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, related primarily to an overall increase in our non-GAAP core fee income, due primarily to higher foreign exchange fees, lending related fees, credit card fees and deposit service charges, partially offset by lower client investment fees. The overall increase was due primarily to higher foreign exchange, credit card and deposit transaction volumes which had a significant slowdown impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, an increase in unused commitment fees and an increase in average client fund balances, partially offset by the impact of the federal funds rate decreases on client investment fee yields.

Noninterest expense increased by ~~$119~~$194 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, due primarily to compensation and benefits expense, ~~other noninterest~~professional services expense, premises and equipment expense and ~~premises and equipment~~other noninterest expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased ~~$102 million~~ as a result of higher incentive compensation expense and higher salaries and wages expenses. Incentive compensation expense increased due primarily to an increase in our 2021 full-year projected financial performance. The increase in GCB salaries and wages was due primarily to an increase in the average number of FTEs at GCB, which increased to ~~3,275~~3,381 FTEs for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, from ~~2,757~~2,872 FTEs for the comparable 2020 period. Professional services expense increased due to consulting fees. Premises and equipment expense increased due to increased depreciation and computer maintenance expenses. Other noninterest expense increased due to an increase in FDIC and state assessments expense driven by higher average assets. ~~Premises and equipment expense increased due to increased depreciation and computer maintenance expenses.~~

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled ~~$85.8~~$107.8 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, an increase of ~~$36.5~~$58.5 billion, or ~~74.0~~118.7 percent, compared to $49.3 billion at December 31, 2020. Our investment securities portfolio is comprised of: (i) an AFS securities portfolio and a HTM securities portfolio, both of which represent interest earning fixed income investment securities; and (ii) a non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio, which represents primarily investments managed as part of our funds management business, investments in qualified affordable housing projects, as well as public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised.

AFS Securities

Period-end AFS securities were ~~$23.9~~$23.0 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $30.9 billion at December 31, 2020, a decrease of ~~$7.0~~$7.9 billion, or ~~22.8~~25.6 percent. The ~~$7.0~~$7.9 billion decrease in period-end AFS securities balances from December 31, 2020 to ~~June~~September 30, 2021, was driven primarily by a ~~$5.8~~$8.8 billion re-designation of AFS securities to HTM securities, paydowns and maturities of ~~$2.9~~$3.8 billion and a decrease in fair value of ~~$567~~$584 million due to the increase in interest rates, partially offset by purchases of ~~$2.3~~$5.4 billion. Securities classified as AFS are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized gains or losses in a separate component of stockholders' equity.

The following table summarizes the remaining contractual principal maturities and fully taxable equivalent yields on fixed income securities, carried at fair value, classified as AFS as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The weighted average yield is computed using the amortized cost of fixed income investment securities, which are reported at fair value. For U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency debentures and foreign government debt securities, the expected maturity is the actual contractual

maturity of the notes. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as AFS typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments. The weighted average yield on mortgage-backed securities is based on prepayment assumptions at the purchase date. Actual yields earned may differ significantly based upon actual prepayments.

HTM Securities

Period-end HTM securities were ~~$60.0~~$82.4 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $16.6 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of ~~$43.4~~$65.8 billion, or ~~261.6~~396.4 percent. The ~~$43.4~~$65.8 billion increase in period-end HTM security balances from December 31, 2020 to ~~June~~September 30, 2021 was driven by purchases of ~~$42.9~~$65.2 billion, with an additional $982 million of securities assumed with the Boston Private acquisition, and the re-designation of ~~$5.7~~$8.8 billion of AFS securities to HTM securities, partially offset by ~~$5.2~~$9.2 billion in paydowns and maturities.The securities were re-designated for capital management purposes and consisted primarily of agency-issued CMO, CMBS, MBS and ~~CMO securities~~US agency debentures with unrealized losses totaling ~~$78~~$132 million, which are recorded in AOCI.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

Securities classified as HTM are accounted for at cost with no adjustments for changes in fair value. For securities re-designated as HTM from AFS, the net unrealized gains or losses at the date of transfer will continue to be reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity and amortized over the life of the securities in a manner consistent with the amortization of a premium or discount.

The following table summarizes the remaining contractual principal maturities and fully taxable equivalent yields on fixed income investment securities classified as HTM as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Interest income on certain municipal bonds and notes (non-taxable investments) are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0 percent. The weighted average yield is computed using the amortized cost of fixed income investment securities. For U.S. agency debentures, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected remaining maturities for certain U.S. agency debentures may occur earlier than their contractual maturities because the note issuers have the right to call outstanding amounts ahead of their contractual maturity. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as HTM typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments. The weighted average yield on mortgage-backed securities is based on prepayment assumptions at the purchase date. Actual yields earned may differ significantly based upon actual prepayments.

Portfolio duration is a standard measure used to approximate changes in the market value of fixed income instruments due to a change in market interest rates. The measure is an estimate based on the level of current market interest rates, expectations for changes in the path of forward rates and the effect of forward rates on mortgage prepayment speed assumptions. As such, portfolio duration will fluctuate with changes in market interest rates. Changes in portfolio duration are also impacted by changes in the mix of longer versus shorter term-to-maturity securities. The estimated weighted-average duration of our fixed income investment securities portfolio was 4.5 and 3.7 years at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The weighted-average duration of our total fixed income securities portfolio including the impact of our fair value swaps was ~~3.9~~4.0 years at ~~June~~September 30, 2021. We are focused on shortening AFS portfolio duration to approximately two years to mitigate OCI risk while buying three- to five-year duration HTM securities to support portfolio yields. The weighted-average duration of our AFS securities portfolio was ~~4.2~~3.8 years at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 3.7 years at December 31, 2020. The weighted-average duration of our AFS securities portfolio including the impact of our fair value swaps was ~~2.4~~2.3 years at ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The weighted-average duration of our HTM securities portfolio was ~~4.6~~4.7 years at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 3.7 years at December 31, 2020.We continue to invest excess on-balance sheet liquidity in high-quality securities (agency MBS/CMBS, municipal and corporate securities), primarily classified as HTM.

Non-Marketable and Other Equity Securities

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies, including public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised, and qualified affordable housing projects. Included in our non-marketable and other equity securities carried under fair value accounting are amounts that are attributable to noncontrolling interests. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100% of these investments that we are deemed to control, even though we may own less than 100% of such entities. See below for a summary of the carrying value (as reported) of non-marketable and other equity securities compared to the amounts attributable to SVBFG.

Period-end non-marketable and other equity securities were ~~$1.9~~$2.5 billion ($~~1.6~~2.1 billion net of noncontrolling interest) at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 compared to $1.8 billion ($1.6 billion net of noncontrolling interest) at December 31, 2020, an increase of ~~$141~~$683 million, or ~~7.8~~37.9 percent. The following table summarizes the carrying value (as reported) of non-marketable and other equity securities compared to the amounts attributable to SVBFG (which generally represents the carrying value times our ownership percentage) at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

(2)The carrying value represents investments in ~~157~~153 and 162 funds (primarily venture capital funds) at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, where our ownership interest is typically less than 5% of the voting interests of each such fund and in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the partnerships' operating activities and financial policies. Our unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments are carried at fair value based on the fund investments' net asset values per share as obtained from the general partners of the funds. For each fund investment, we adjust the net asset value per share for differences between our measurement date and the date of the fund ~~investment��s~~investment’s net asset value by using the most recently available financial information from the investee general partner, for example ~~March 31~~June 30stth for our ~~June~~September 30th consolidated financial statements, adjusted for any

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

(3)Investments classified as "Other investments without a readily determinable fair value" include direct equity investments in private companies. The carrying value is based on the price at which the investment was acquired plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. We consider a range of factors when adjusting the fair value of these investments, including, but not limited to, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, exit strategies, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and a discount for certain investments that have lock-up restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted. For further details on the carrying value of these investments refer to Note 56 — “Investment Securities" of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Volcker Rule

The Volcker Rule prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a banking entity, such as the Company, from sponsoring, investing in, or having certain relationships with covered funds. Under the currently effective regulations implementing the Volcker Rule, covered funds are defined to include many venture capital and private equity funds.

In June 2017, we received notice that the Federal Reserve approved the Company’s application for an extension of the permitted conformance period for the Company’s investments in “illiquid” covered funds (“Restricted Volcker Investments”). The approval extends the deadline by which the Company must sell, divest, restructure or otherwise conform such investments to the provisions of the Volcker Rule by the earlier of (i) July 21, 2022, or (ii) the date by which each fund matures by its terms or is otherwise conformed to the Volcker Rule.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

There have been various amendments to the Volcker Rule in recent years. In particular, certain amendments that became effective October 1, 2020, provide for, among other things, the adoption of new exclusions from the definition of “covered fund” for venture capital funds and credit funds that meet certain criteria. As a result of these amendments, we believe that none of the Restricted Volcker Investments will be required to be disposed of or will otherwise conform to the Volcker Rule requirements. We expect that all of our Restricted Volcker Investments will (i) qualify for these new exclusions; (ii) otherwise be excluded from the definition of "covered fund"; or (iii) be subject to a liquidation or dissolution process (For more information about the Volcker Rule, see “Business—Supervision and Regulation” under Part 1, Item 1 of our 2020 Form 10-K.)

Loans

Upon the completion of the acquisition of Boston Private on July 1, 2021, we have modified our portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables to accommodate Boston Private loans. Refer to Note 1 — “Basis of Presentation” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information on our current portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables.

Loans at amortized cost basis increased by ~~$5.6~~$16.3 billion to ~~$50.8~~$61.5 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $45.2 billion at December 31, 2020. Unearned income was ~~$248~~$240 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and $226 million at December 31, 2020. The increase in period-end loans was driven primarily byfrom the addition of Boston Private's loan portfolio, as well as continued growth in our Global Fund Banking ~~and Private Bank as well as in the Technology and Life Science/Healthcare portfolios.~~segment. This growth was partially offset by a decrease in our ~~SBA~~PPP loans driven by ~~an acceleration of~~ forgiveness of these loans during ~~the second quarter.~~2021.

(i) Global Fund Banking

Our Global Fund Banking loan portfolio includes ~~financial services~~loans to clients in the private equity/venture capital community. Our lending to private equity/venture capital firms and funds represented ~~60.3~~55 percent of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~56.5~~57 percent at December 31, 2020. The vast majority of this portfolio consists of capital call lines of credit, the repayment of which is dependent on the payment of capital calls by the underlying limited partner investors in the funds managed by these firms. These facilities are generally governed by meaningful financial covenants oriented towards ensuring that the funds' remaining callable capital is sufficient to repay the loan, and larger commitments (typically provided to larger private equity funds) are typically secured by an assignment of the general partner's right to call capital from the fund's limited partner investors.

(ii) Technology and Life Science/Healthcare

Our technology and life science/healthcare loan portfolios include loans to clients at the various stages of their life cycles. The ~~risk-based segments~~classes of financing receivables for our technology and life science/healthcare market segments are classified as ~~investor dependent, cash flow dependent~~Investor Dependent, Cash Flow Dependent - SLBO or ~~balance sheet dependent~~Innovation C&I for reporting purposes.

Investor dependent loans represented ~~10.5~~9 percent of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~11.0~~11 percent at December 31, 2020. These loans are made to companies in both our ~~Accelerator (early-stage)~~Early Stage and Growth ~~practices (mid-stage and later-stage).~~Stage practices.

Cash flow dependent loans ~~which include sponsor led~~for sponsor-led buyout lending represented ~~9.6~~3 percent of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~10.9 percent at December 31, 2020. Sponsor led buyout loans represented 3.8 percent of total loans at June 30, 2021 and 4.4~~4 percent at December 31, 2020.

~~Balance sheet dependent~~Innovation C&I loans, which include asset-based loans, represented ~~5.5~~10 percent of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~4.8~~11 percent at December 31, 2020. Working capital lines and accounts receivable financing, both part of our asset-based lending, each represented one percent and half a percent of total loans, respectively, at both ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Our SVB Private Bank clients are primarily executive leaders and senior investment professionals in the innovation ~~economy.~~economy, as well as high net worth clients acquired from Boston Private. Our lending to ~~SVB~~ Private Bank clients represented ~~10.4~~14 percent of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and ~~10.9~~11 percent at December 31, 2020. Many of our Private Bank products are secured by real estate, which represented ~~83.3~~88 percent of this portfolio at ~~June~~September 30, 2021; these products include mortgage loans, owner occupied commercial mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and other secured lending products such as real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our EHOP. The remaining balance of our Private Bank portfolio consists of restricted and private stock loans, personal capital call lines of credit, lines of credit against liquid assets and other secured and unsecured lending products.

(iv) Commercial Real Estate

The commercial real estate loan portfolio acquired from Boston Private is made up of acquisition financing for commercial properties, such as office buildings, retail properties, apartment buildings, and industrial/warehouse space. As such, all of these products are secured by real estate. Our lending to commercial real estate clients represented 5 percent of total loans at September 30, 2021.

Paycheck Protection Program

We accepted applications under the PPP administered by the SBA under the CARES Act, as amended by the Economic Aid Act, and originated loans to qualified small businesses until the loan origination phase of the PPP ended on June 30, 2021. Under the terms of the program, loans funded through the PPP are eligible to be forgiven if certain requirements are met, including using the funds for certain costs relating to payroll, healthcare and qualifying mortgage interest, rent and utility payments. Eligible expenses also include covered operations expenditures, covered property damage costs, covered supplier costs and covered worker protection expenditures. To the extent not forgiven, loans are subject to certain terms including, among others, the following: maximum two-year term for loans issued before June 5, 2020 (unless borrower and lender agree otherwise); a maximum five-year term for loans issued on or after June 5, 2020; an interest rate of 1.0%; deferral of loan payments until a loan forgiveness decision is rendered or until 10 months after the end of a borrower’s forgiveness covered period; and no requirement for any collateral or personal guarantees. PPP borrowers are not required to pay any fees to the government or the lender, and the loans may be repaid by the borrower at any time. The SBA, however, will pay lenders a processing fee based on the size of the PPP loan, ranging from 1% to 5% of the loan for loans made before the enactment of the Economic Aid Act, and thereafter, a processing fee of (1) the lesser of 50% of the loan or $2,500 for loans of not more than $50,000, (2) 5% of the loan for loans above $50,000 but not more than $350,000, and (3) 3% of the loan for loans above $350,000 (and, in case of the first draw PPP loans only, a fee of 1% for the loans at or above $2,000,000). Additional loans were issuable up until June 30, 2021, pursuant to the PPP Extension Act of 2021, and qualifying PPP borrowers were able to

apply for second draw loans in an amount of up to $2 million. We continued to participate in the forgiveness stage of the PPP inthrough the ~~second~~third quarter of ~~2021, including the second draw loan and the forgiveness stages of the program.~~2021.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we have outstanding PPP loans in the amount of ~~$843~~$565 million, as approved by the ~~SBA.~~SBA, compared to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020. This funded amount reflects repayments received as of such date.

Loan Deferral Programs

In April 2020, we implemented three loan payment deferral programs targeted to assist borrowers who were the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These programs included relief for venture-backed, private bank and wine borrowers who met certain criteria. The three-month private bank and wine deferral programs ended, and payments resumed, in the third quarter of 2020. The six-month venture debt and private bank deferral programs ended, and payments resumed, in the fourth quarter of 2020 for a majority of participants. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, loans modified under these programs had outstanding balances of ~~$227~~$82 million ~~all of which is~~ for venture-backed ~~borrowers.~~borrowers, which consists entirely of borrowers who lengthened their existing interest-only payment periods under the deferral programs and are currently making interest-only payments. These amounts reflect repayments received as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, loans modified under these programs had outstanding balances of $769 million, $13 million and $2 million for venture-backed, private bank and wine borrowers, respectively. These amounts reflect repayments received as of December 31, 2020.

For loans modified under these programs, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4013 of the CARES Act, we elected to not apply TDR classification to borrowers who were current as of December 31, 2019. In addition, for loans modified under these programs that did not meet the CARES Act criteria, we applied the guidance in an interagency statement issued by bank regulatory agencies. Using this guidance, we may find that borrowers are not experiencing financial difficulty that may otherwise result in a TDR classification, in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-40, if loan modifications are performed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, provide short-term loan payment deferrals (e.g. six months in duration) and are granted to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of the loan modification program. We

Table of Contents

evaluated all loans modified under these programs against the CARES Act and interagency guidance, as applicable, and determined the loan modifications would not be considered TDRs. We did not defer interest income recognition during periods of payment deferral, nor did any qualifying modification trigger nonaccrual status.

State Concentrations

Approximately 2729 percent of our outstanding total loan balances as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 were to borrowers based in California compared to 26 percent as of December 31, 2020. Additionally, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, borrowers in New York ~~increased~~decreased to 119 percent of loans, compared to 10 percent as of December 31, 2020.

Other than California and ~~New York,~~Massachusetts, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 there are no states with loan balances greater than or equal to 10 ~~percent.~~percent of total loans.

See generally “Risk Factors–Credit Risks” set forth under Part I, Item 1A in our 2020 Form 10-K and "Risk Factors" under Part II, Item 1A of this report.

Credit Quality Indicators

Our total criticized loans and nonaccrual loans represented 23 percent of our total loans as of ~~June~~both September 30, 2021 and ~~3 percent at~~ December 31, 2020. Criticized and nonaccrual loans to early-stage clients represented 1811 and 15 percent of our total criticized and nonaccrual loan balances at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Loans to early-stage investor dependent clients represent a relatively small percentage of our overall portfolio at 3 percent of total loans at both ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020. It is common for an early-stage client’s remaining liquidity to fall temporarily below the threshold for a pass-rated credit during its capital-raising period for a new round of funding. Based on our experience, for most early-stage clients, this situation typically lasts one to two quarters and generally resolves itself with a subsequent round of venture funding, though there are exceptions, from time to time. As a result, we expect that each of our early-stage clients will reside in our criticized portfolio during a portion of their life cycle.

As of September 30, 2021 we have identified the following factors that could have a positive impact on credit quality: (i) vaccine distributions and re-openings, (ii) continued investor support and (iii) improved risk profile of loan portfolio.

(i) Vaccine distributions and re-openings - We continue to monitor our loan portfolio for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccine distributions and re-openings support the business activity of our clients and have contributed to an improved economic ~~environment, although we~~environment. We continue to ~~watch~~monitor our loan portfolio for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, especially the emergence of COVID-19 variants and continued spread. ~~Our~~

(ii) Continued investor support - We continue to see robust venture capital investment activity and dry powder available in the market.

(iii) Improved risk profile of loan portfolio - As described above, our Investor Dependent - Early Stage class, which historically has been the most vulnerable loan class with the most losses, is now only 3 percent of total loans. Furthermore, 69 percent of total loans are now in our Global Fund Banking and Private Bank ~~portfolios~~classes, which have low credit loss experience.

Additionally, we have identified the following risks to credit quality: (i) increased COVID-19 exposure from acquired Boston Private loans and (ii) larger Growth Stage and Innovation C&I loan sizes.

(i) Increased COVID-19 exposure from acquired Boston Private loans - We acquired $2.8 billion of commercial real estate loans from Boston Private. Commercial real estate is generally more impacted by restrictions to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and transitions to hybrid work environments. This risk is mitigated by the reserves held for this loan class and our limited overall exposure, with commercial real estate representing only 5 percent of total loans at September 30, 2021.

(ii) Larger Growth Stage and Innovation C&I loan sizes -The size of individual loans to our Investor Dependent - Growth Stage and Innovation C&I clients has increased, which may introduce greater volatility to those portfolios' credit quality.

We continue to ~~have strong credit performance, which is consistent with~~monitor the ~~historically low credit losses we have typically experienced. Wine clients' sales have improved with re-openings, but we are cautious~~current environment to evaluate the impact of the potential for fires and crop loss as a result of the current drought and historic high temperatures in the western United States. We have seen robust venture capital investment activity in the technology and life science/healthcare sectors, supporting ongoing improvement of theabove on our portfolio's credit quality and to identify the emergence of ~~our clients in those spaces.~~additional factors.

Credit Quality, Allowance for Credit Losses and Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest and OREO and other foreclosed assets. We measure all loans placed on nonaccrual status for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the net present value of the expected cash flows. The table below sets forth certain data and ratios between nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets and the ACL for loans and unfunded credit commitments:

(1)The "ACL for loans" at September 30, 2021 includes an allowance of $66 million related to Boston Private loans, of which $2 million is related to nonaccrual loans. See “Provision for Credit Losses” for a detailed discussion of the changes to the allowance.

(2)The “ACL for unfunded credit commitments” is included as a component of other liabilities and any provision is included in the “provision for credit losses” in the statement of income. At September 30, 2021, this includes an allowance of $2 million related to Boston Private commitments. See “Provision for Credit Losses” for a detailed discussion of the changes to the allowance.

~~(2)~~(3)Includes unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.

To determine the ACL for performing loans as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we utilized three scenarios, on a weighted basis, from Moody's Analytics ~~June~~September 2021 and December 2020 forecasts, respectively, in our expected lifetime loss estimate. The baseline scenario, which carries the highest weighting of 40 percent in both periods, reflected an unemployment rate of ~~5.8~~5.2 percent as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, as a result of ~~business re-openings and~~ the ~~effect of government aid programs during the first half of~~ongoing economic stabilization seen in 2021, compared to 6.7 percent as of December 31, 2020. The baseline scenario also included a GDP growth rate of ~~10.9~~4.95 percent and 4.0 percentas of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, reflecting ongoing expected economic recovery as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~generally appears~~continues to ~~be subsiding.~~subside. In addition to the baseline, we also utilized a more favorable (Moody's S1, Upside) and less favorable (Moody's S3, Downside) economic forecast scenario, each weighted at 30 percent at both ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. To the extent we identified credit risk considerations that were not captured by the Moody's Analytics scenarios, we addressed the risk through management's qualitative adjustments to our ACL for performing loans.

Our ACL for loans as a percentage of total loans decreased 2134 basis points to ~~0.78~~0.65 percent at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to 0.99 percent at December 31, 2020. The 2134 basis points decrease was due primarily to a 1628 basis point decrease for our performing loans reserve as a percentage of total loans and a 56 basis point decrease for our nonaccrual individually assessed loans. The decreases were primarily driven by enhancements in our reserving model, which were partially offset by

Table of Contents

an increase from the acquisition of Boston Private. Our performing loans reserve as a percentage of total loans includes 10 basis points from the inclusion of Boston Private; nonaccrual reserves as a percentage of total loans includes less than one basis point from Boston Private. For a detailed discussion of changes in the current period's provision, including the impacts of the model enhancements and the Boston Private acquisition, see "Provision for Credit Losses."

Our ACL for performing loans was ~~$358~~$365 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $394 million at December 31, 2020. The ~~$36~~$29 million decrease was driven primarily by the improved economic scenarios in our forecast models, reflective of the ongoing improvement of the economic outlooks as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~generally appears~~begins to ~~be subsiding.~~subside, enhancements to our reserving model and the addition of commitments from Boston Private. For a detailed discussion of changes in the current period's provision, including the impacts of the model enhancements and the Boston Private acquisition see "Provision for Credit Losses."

Foreign Exchange Spot Contract Assets

Foreign exchange spot contract assets represent unsettled client trades at the end of the period. The decrease of ~~$784 million~~$1.8 billion was due primarily to ~~trade enhancements made during~~a decrease in the ~~second quarter~~number of unsettled spot trades with large notional balances at September 30, 2021 ~~which consisted of executing rollover trades for our clients using foreign exchange swap products versus our historical foreign exchange spot products.~~as compared to December 31, 2020.

Accrued Interest Receivable

The increase of ~~$97~~$156 million in accrued interest receivable is primarily due to increases in the period-end balances of our HTM investment securities portfolio and loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020.

Equity Warrant Assets

In connection with negotiating credit facilities and certain other services, we often obtain rights to acquire stock in the form of equity warrant assets in primarily private, venture-backed companies in the technology and life science/healthcare industries. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we held warrants in ~~2,718~~2,749 companies, compared to 2,602 companies at December 31, 2020. Warrants in 5350 companies each had fair values greater than $1 million and collectively represented ~~$137~~$139 million, or ~~51.7~~50.8 percent, of the fair value of the total warrant portfolio at ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The change in fair value of equity warrant assets is recorded in "Gains on equity warrant assets, net" in noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

Foreign Exchange Forward, Swaps and Foreign Currency Option Contracts

We enter into foreign exchange forward and swap contracts and foreign currency option contracts with clients involved in foreign activities, either as the purchaser or seller, depending upon the clients’ needs. For each forward, swap or option contract entered into with our clients, we enter into an opposite way forward, swap or option contract with a correspondent bank, which mitigates the risk of fluctuations in currency rates. We also enter into forward contracts with correspondent banks to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure related to certain foreign currency denominated instruments. Net gains and losses on the revaluation of foreign currency denominated instruments are recorded in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income. We have not experienced nonperformance by any of our counterparties and therefore have not incurred any related losses. Further, we anticipate performance by all counterparties. Our net

exposure for foreign exchange forward and swaps and foreign currency option contracts, net of cash collateral, was ~~$32~~$9 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and $31 million at December 31, 2020.

Client Interest Rate Derivatives

We sell interest rate contracts to clients who wish to mitigate their interest rate exposure. We economically reduce the interest rate risk from this business by entering into opposite way contracts with correspondent banks. Our net exposure for client interest rate derivative contracts, net of cash collateral, was ~~$24~~$63 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and $67 million at December 31, 2020.

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

~~Foreign Exchange Spot Contract Liabilities~~

Foreign exchange spot contract liabilities represent unsettled client trades at the end of the period. The decrease of $539 million was due primarily to operational improvements implemented during the second quarter of 2021 to execute rollover trades for our clients, using foreign exchange swap products versus our historical foreign exchange spot products.

~~Accrued Compensation~~

Accrued compensation includes amounts for our Incentive Compensation Plan, Direct Drive Incentive Compensation Plan, Retention Program, Warrant Incentive Plan, ESOP, SVB Leerink Incentive Compensation Plan, SVB Leerink Retention Award and other compensation arrangements. The decrease of $137 million was primarily result of the payout of our 2020 incentive compensation plans during the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by the accrual for the six months ending June 30, 2021.

~~Allowance for Unfunded Credit Commitments~~

Allowance for unfunded credit commitments includes an allowance for both our unfunded loan commitments and our letters of credit. The decrease of $1 million was due primarily to a reduction of our credit loss estimate for unfunded credit commitments driven primarily by improved economic scenarios in our forecast models.

~~Net Deferred Tax Liabilities~~

Net deferred tax liabilities decreased $151 million due primarily to a decrease in pre-tax unrealized gains recorded to other comprehensive income from the decrease in the fair value of our AFS securities portfolio and the recognition of tax gains on convertible debt, offset partially by timing differences related to fund investments.

Other Liabilities

A summary of other liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		% Change

(1)See “Derivatives” section above.

Foreign Exchange Spot Contract Liabilities

Foreign exchange spot contract liabilities represent unsettled client trades at the end of the period. The decrease of $1.6 billion was due primarily to a decrease in the number of unsettled spot trades with large notional balances at September 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020.

Accrued Compensation

Accrued compensation includes amounts for our Incentive Compensation Plan, Direct Drive Incentive Compensation Plan, Retention Program, Warrant Incentive Plan, ESOP, SVB Leerink Incentive Compensation Plan, SVB Leerink Retention Award and other compensation arrangements. The increase of $106 million was primarily driven by an increase in accrued incentive pay.

Allowance for Unfunded Credit Commitments

Allowance for unfunded credit commitments includes an allowance for both our unfunded loan commitments and our letters of credit. The increase of $28 million was attributable to commitment growth and changes in portfolio composition and an increase in the expected future commitments for milestone tranches of Investor Dependent loans, which are tied to company performance or additional funding rounds, resulting in a longer weighted average life of these higher risk segments. Additionally, we recorded a provision of $2 million related to Boston Private unfunded commitments.

Net Deferred Tax Liabilities

Net deferred tax liabilities decreased $85 million due primarily to a decrease in pre-tax unrealized gains recorded to other comprehensive income from the decrease in the fair value of our AFS securities portfolio, partially offset by an opening deferred tax liability balance of $57 million related to the Boston Private acquisition and an increase in warrants and fund investments due to unrealized book gains recorded during 2021.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities includes various accrued liability amounts for other operational transactions. The increase of ~~$324~~$321 million was driven primarily by ~~$271~~$140 million of unsettled fixed income investment securities purchases and ~~an $45~~a $101 million ~~increase~~ in ~~investments~~dividends payable ~~related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects.~~for our preferred stock.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests totaled ~~$300~~$369 million and $213 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The ~~$87~~$156 million increase was due primarily to net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of ~~$138~~$226 million, partially offset by ~~$51~~$70 million in distributions for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

Capital Resources

We maintain an adequate capital base to support anticipated asset growth, operating needs, and credit and other business risks, and to provide for SVB Financial and the Bank to be in compliance with applicable regulatory capital guidelines, including the joint agency rules implementing the "Basel III" capital rules (the "Capital Rules"). Our primary sources of new capital include retained earnings and proceeds from the sale and issuance of our capital stock or other securities. Under the oversight of the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors, management engages in regular capital planning processes in an effort to optimize the use of the capital available to us and to appropriately plan for our future capital needs. The capital plan considers capital needs for the foreseeable future and allocates capital to both existing and future business activities. Expected future use or activities for which capital may be set aside include balance sheet growth and associated relative increases in market or credit exposure, investment activity, potential product and business expansions, acquisitions and strategic or infrastructure investments. In addition, we conduct capital stress tests as part of our annual capital planning process. The capital stress tests allow us to assess the impact of adverse changes in the economy and interest rates on our capital adequacy position.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

SVBFG stockholders’ equity totaled ~~$11.7~~$14.7 billionat ~~June~~September 30, 2021, an increaseof ~~$3.4~~$6.1 billion, or ~~41.9~~74.0 percent,compared to $8.2 billion at December 31, 2020. The increasewas driven primarily by a ~~$1.1~~$3.4 billion issuance of common stock, aof which $1.1 billion was issued to complete the acquisition of Boston Private, $1.7 billion issuance of preferred stock and ~~$1.1~~$1.4 billion of net income, partially offset by the decrease in AOCI of ~~$481~~$558 million. The decrease in AOCI was driven primarily by a ~~$554~~$584 million (or ~~$400~~$421 million net of tax) decrease in the fair value of our AFS securities portfolio reflective of increases in market interest rates.

Funds generated through retained earnings are a significant source of capital and liquidity and are expected to continue to be so in the future.

Common Stock

On March 22, 2021, to support the continued growth of our balance sheet, we issued and sold 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $500.00 per share.

On April 14, 2021, we issued and sold an additional 300,000 shares of common stock under the full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option resulting in additional net proceeds of approximately $146 million after deducting discounts and commissions. On July 1, 2021, the Company issued 1,887,981 shares of common stock for the acquisition of Boston Private at an exchange ratio of 0.0228 SIVB shares per Boston Private share totaling $1.1 billion. On August 12, 2021, we issued and sold an additional 2,227,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $564.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of $1.2 billion.

Capital Ratios

Both SVB Financial and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies.

Regulatory capital ratios for SVB Financial and the Bank exceeded minimum federal regulatory guidelines under the Capital Rules as well as for a "well capitalized" bank holding company and insured depository institution, respectively, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Capital ratios for SVB Financial and the Bank, compared to the minimum capital ratios, are set forth below:

(5)The Federal Reserve has not issued any minimum guidelines for the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio or the tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio, however, we believe these ratios provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our capital levels and are therefore provided above.

Our risk-based capital ratios, tier 1 capital ratios and leverage ratios increased for both SVB Financial and Silicon Valley Bank as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020. The increase in capital ratios was driven primarily by increases in our capital, partially offset by increases in our risk-weighted and average assets. The increase in capital for SVB Financial was driven by the issuance of common and preferred stock and net income. The increase in capital for Silicon Valley Bank was driven by a ~~$3.3~~$4.8 billion downstream capital infusion from our bank holding company during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021. The increase in average assets was driven by increases in our fixed income investments and loan portfolios. All of our reported capital ratios remain above the levels considered to be “well capitalized” under applicable banking regulations.

The tangible common equity, or tangible book value, to tangible assets ratio and the tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratios are not required by GAAP or applicable bank regulatory requirements. However, we believe these ratios provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our capital levels. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these ratios in evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s capital levels; however, these financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or preferable to, comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These ratios are calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders' equity, by total period-end assets and risk-weighted assets, after reducing both amounts by acquired intangibles, if any. The manner in which this ratio is calculated varies among companies. Accordingly, our ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar measures of other companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we use financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and standby letters of credit and commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity fund investments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because other parties to the financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. For details of our commitments to extend credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit, please refer to Note 1312 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Commitments to Invest in Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds

Subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including the Volcker Rule, we make commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, which in turn make investments generally in, or in some cases make loans to, privately-held companies. Commitments to invest in these funds are generally made for a 10-year period from the inception of the fund. Although the limited partnership agreements governing these investments typically do not restrict the general partners from

~~104~~

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

calling 100% of committed capital in one year, it is customary for these funds to generally call most of the capital commitments over 5 to 7 years; however, in certain cases, the funds may not call 100% of committed capital over the life of the fund. The actual timing of future cash requirements to fund these commitments is generally dependent upon the investment cycle, overall market conditions, and the nature and type of industry in which the privately held companies operate.

For further details on our commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, refer to Note 1312 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available in a timely manner to meet our financial obligations, including, as necessary, paying creditors, meeting depositors’ needs, accommodating loan demand and growth, funding investments, repurchasing securities and other operating or capital needs, without incurring undue cost or risk, or causing a disruption to normal operating conditions.

We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual client funding needs and existing and planned business activities. Our ALCO, which is a management committee, provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends policy guidelines for the approval of the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity needs. Additionally, we routinely conduct liquidity stress testing as part of our liquidity management practices.

106

Table of Contents

Historically, client deposits have been our primary source of liquidity. Our deposit levels and cost of deposits may fluctuate from time to time due to a variety of factors, including market conditions, prevailing interest rates, changes in client deposit behaviors, availability of insurance protection, and our offering of deposit products. We may also offer more investment alternatives for our off-balance sheet products which may impact deposit levels. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, our period-end total deposit balances were ~~$145.8~~$171.2 billion, compared to $102.0 billion at December 31, 2020.

Our liquidity requirements can also be met through the use of our portfolio of liquid assets. Our definition of liquid assets includes cash and cash equivalents in excess of the minimum levels necessary to carry out normal business operations, short-term investment securities maturing within one year, AFS securities eligible and available for financing or pledging purposes with a maturity in excess of one year and anticipated near-term cash flows from investments.

We have certain facilities in place to enable us to access short-term borrowings on a secured and unsecured basis. Our secured facilities include collateral pledged to the FHLB of San Francisco and the discount window at the FRB (using both fixed income securities and loans as collateral). Our unsecured facility consists of our uncommitted federal funds lines. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, collateral pledged to the FHLB of San Francisco was comprised primarily of fixed income investment securities and loans and had a carrying value of ~~$7.1~~$7.4 billion, of which ~~$5.9~~$6.0 billion was available to support additional borrowings. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, collateral pledged to the discount window at the FRB was comprised of fixed income investment securities and had a carrying value of ~~$0.9 billion,~~$838 million, all of which was unused and available to support additional borrowings. Our total unused and available borrowing capacity for our uncommitted federal funds lines totaled ~~$1.9~~$2.2 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Our total unused and available borrowing capacity under our master repurchase agreements with various financial institutions totaled ~~$4.0~~$5.5 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

In connection with our participation in the PPP under the CARES Act as discussed, we considered participating in the Federal Reserve’s PPPLF. The PPPLF was established to allow participating institutions to facilitate lending under the PPP and extends credit to eligible PPP loan originators on a non-recourse basis, taking PPP loans as collateral at face value. Ultimately, we were able to extend credit to PPP borrowers without relying on the PPPLF. Additionally, interim final capital rules issued by federal bank regulatory agencies have neutralized the regulatory capital effects of participating in the PPP, in that loans outstanding are assessed a zero percent risk weight for regulatory capital purposes.

As a banking organization, our liquidity is subject to supervision by our banking regulators. Because we are a Category IV firm with less than $50 billion in average weighted short-term wholesale funding, we currently are not subject to the Federal Reserve’s LCR or net stable funding ratio NSFR requirements, either on a full or reduced basis. It is possible that we may become subject to LCR and NSFR requirements or other heightened liquidity requirements in the future as a result of further growth, which would require us to maintain high-quality liquid assets in accordance with specific quantitative requirements and increase the use of long-term debt as a funding source.

On a stand-alone basis, SVB Financial’s primary liquidity channels include dividends from the Bank, its portfolio of liquid assets, and its ability to raise debt and capital. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to certain regulations described in “Business—Supervision and Regulation—Restriction on Dividends” under Part I, Item 1 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk Management

Market risk is defined as the risk of adverse fluctuations in the market value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and can result from timing and volume differences in the repricing of our rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, widening or tightening of credit spreads, changes in the general level of market interest rates and changes in the shape and level of the benchmark interest rates. Additionally, changes in interest rates can influence the rate of principal prepayments on mortgage securities, which affects the rate of amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. Other market risks include foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk (including the effect of competition on product pricing). These risks and related impacts are important market considerations but are inherently difficult to assess through simulation results. Consequently, simulations used to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates will differ from actual results due to differences in the timing and frequency of rate resets, the magnitude of changes in market rates, the impact of competition, fluctuating business conditions and the impact of strategies taken by management to mitigate these risks.

Interest rate risk is managed by our ALCO. ALCO reviews the sensitivity of the market valuation on earning assets and funding liabilities and modeled 12-month projections of net interest income from changes in interest rates, structural changes in investment and funding portfolios, loan and deposit activity and market conditions. Relevant metrics and guidelines, which are approved by the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors and are included in our Interest Rate Risk Policy, are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Interest rate risk is managed primarily through strategies involving our fixed income securities portfolio, available funding channels and capital market activities. In addition, our policies permit the use of off-balance sheet derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, to assist with managing interest rate risk.

We utilize a simulation model to perform sensitivity analysis on the economic value of equity and net interest income under a variety of interest rate scenarios, balance sheet forecasts and business strategies. The simulation model provides a

~~106~~

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

dynamic assessment of interest rate sensitivity which is embedded within our balance sheet. Rate sensitivity measures the potential variability in economic value and net interest income relating solely to changes in market interest rates over time. We review our interest rate risk position and sensitivity to market interest rates regularly.

Model Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis

A specific application of our simulation model involves measurement of the impact of changes in market interest rates on the EVE. EVE is defined as the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities. Another application of the simulation model measures the impact of changes in market interest rates on NII assuming a static balance sheet, in both size and composition, as of the period-end reporting date. In the NII simulation, the level of market interest rates and the size and composition of the balance sheet are held constant over the simulation horizon. Simulated cash flows during the scenario horizon are assumed to be replaced as they occur, which maintains the balance sheet at its current size and composition. Yield and spread assumptions on cash and investment balances reflect current market rates and the shape of the yield curve. Yield and spread assumptions on loans reflect recent market impacts on product pricing. Similarly, we make certain deposit balance decay rate assumptions on demand deposits and interest-bearing deposits, which are replenished to hold the level and mix of funding liabilities constant. Changes in market interest rates that affect net interest income are principally short-term interest rates and include the following benchmark indexes: (i) the National Prime Rate, (ii) 1-month and 3-month LIBOR and (iii) the Federal Funds target rate. Changes in these short-term rates impact interest earned on our variable rate loans and balances held as cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, simulated changes in deposit pricing relative to changes in market rates, commonly referred to as deposit beta, generally follow overall changes in short-term interest rates, although actual changes may lag in terms of timing and magnitude.

Both EVE and NII measures rely upon the use of models to simulate cash flow behavior for loans and deposits. These models were developed internally and are based on historical balance and rate observations. Investment portfolio cash flow is based on a combination of third-party prepayment models and internally managed prepayment vectors depending on security type. As part of our ongoing governance structure, each of these models and assumptions are periodically reviewed and recalibrated as needed to ensure that they are representative of our understanding of existing behaviors.

Simulation results presented include ~~an "asymmetric"~~a beta assumption that is applied in the NII and EVE simulation models for interest-bearing deposits. This reflects management expectations ~~that~~about deposit repricing ~~behavior in a falling rate environment would be different than repricing behavior in a rising rate environment.~~behavior. This model assumes the overall beta for interest-bearing deposits ~~in a falling rate environment would be~~is approximately 60 percent. That is, overall changes in interest-bearing deposit rates would be approximately 60 percent of the change in short-term market rates. ~~The deposit beta assumption for an increasing rate environment is 50 percent.~~ These repricing assumptions are reflected as changes in interest expense on interest-bearing deposit balances.

~~Table~~The acquisition of ~~Contents~~

Boston Private was completed on July 1, 2021. The acquisition added approximately $8.9 billion of total assets and deposits to the balance sheet. Most of the assets added were fixed and variable rate residential mortgages and commercial loans. Both the EVE and NII sensitivity measures described here are inclusive of the impact of the Boston Private acquisition.

The following table presents our EVE and NII sensitivity exposure related to an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 bps at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Economic Value of Equity

The estimated EVE in the preceding table is based on a combination of valuation methodologies including a discounted cash flow analysis and a multi-path lattice-based valuation. Both methodologies use publicly available market interest rates to determine discounting factors on projected cash flows. The model simulations and calculations are highly ~~assumption-dependent~~assumption-

dependent and will change regularly as the composition of earning assets and funding liabilities change (including the impact of changes in the value of interest rate derivatives, if any), as interest rate environments evolve, and as we change our assumptions in response to relevant market conditions, competition or business circumstances. These calculations do not reflect forecast changes in our balance sheet or changes we may make to reduce our EVE exposure as a part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain limitations are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the preceding table. We are exposed to yield curve risk, prepayment risk, basis risk and yield spread compression, which cannot be fully modeled and expressed using the above methodology. Accordingly, the results in the preceding table should not be relied upon as a precise indicator of actual results in the event of changing market interest rates. Additionally, the resulting EVE and NII estimates are not intended to represent and should not be construed to represent our estimate of the underlying EVE or forecast of NII.

Our base EVE as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased ~~$4.2~~$7.1 billion from December 31, 2020, driven by overall balance sheet growth as well as ~~a steepening of the~~ yield curve steepening during the first half of 2021. For the period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020, cash balances increased by ~~$6.3~~$1.3 billion, fixed income investments in our AFS portfolio decreased by ~~$7.0~~$7.9 billion, ~~and increased by $43.4 billion in our~~while HTM portfolio ~~while loan~~ balances increased by ~~$5.6~~$65.8 billion. Loan balances increased by $16.3 billion, year-to-date. Funding for these assets came primarily from growth of ~~$43.9~~$69.2 billion in total deposits, which consisted of a ~~$34.8~~$48.9 billion and ~~$9.1~~$20.3 billion increase in ~~noninterest-bearing~~non-interest bearing and ~~interest-bearing~~interest bearing accounts, respectively. The mix of ~~noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits~~non-interest bearing to total deposits increased slightly by 4two bps to 67 percent at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020.

Rapid deposit growth has exceeded the pace of our loan growth, and as a result, a significant amount of excess deposits not used to fund loan growth ~~have~~has contributed to the growth of our ~~cash and investments~~investment balances. Much of the investment portfolio is held in fixed rate MBS and CMO's which generally have a higher market value sensitivity than variable rate loans or cash. Thus, under an upward rate shock scenario, the market value of investments changes more than the market value of deposits resulting in a negative EVE sensitivity in those scenarios.

In March 2021 we purchased interest rate swaps to offset some of the additional EVE sensitivity that has resulted from rapid balance sheet growth. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the estimated change in EVE in an up 100 bps rate shock would be ~~-13.7~~-17.1 percent without any hedging applied. The addition of pay fixed swaps reduces this exposure to ~~-10.9~~-15.2 percent in the same scenario. The EVE exposures shown in the table above include the impact of our hedging activity.

Due to low rates at the short end of the yield curve, EVE sensitivity measures in the -100 and -200 bps rate shock scenarios do not represent the full magnitude of rate shocks at certain points on the curve because we assume that U.S. rates are floored at zero. As a result, the June 30, 2021 EVE sensitivity of the -100 and -200 bps rate shock scenarios are similar.

~~108~~

~~Table of~~ ~~Contents~~

Ongoing balance sheet growth and a steepening yield curve were the primary contributing factors to the overall change in EVE sensitivity.

12-Month Net Interest Income Simulation

NII sensitivity is measured as the percentage change in projected 12-month net interest income earned in +/-100 and +/-200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios compared to a base scenario where balances and interest rates are held constant over the forecast horizon. At ~~June 30, 2021,~~September 30,2021, NII sensitivity was ~~16.3~~13.4 percent in the +100 bps interest rate scenario, compared to 15.1 percent at December 31, 2020. Our NII sensitivity in the +200 bps interest rate shock scenario was ~~33.7~~27.7 percent compared to ~~29.1~~29.2 percent at December 31, 2020. NII sensitivity in the -100 bps scenario of negative ~~3.5~~5.2 percent was higher at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to a negative 2.6 percent at December 31, 2020. The -200 bps scenario currently indicates a higher percentage change in NII of negative ~~4.1~~6.1 percent at ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to negative 2.8 percent at December 31, 2020. However, as noted above, the -100 and -200 bps scenarios are not complete rate shocks in this rate environment, since rates are assumed to be floored at zero. The ~~June~~September 30, 2021 NII sensitivity percentages are inclusive of the realized income or expense associated with interest rate swaps that were unwound reflective of the macro hedging process initiated in 2019 to reduce the impact of decreasing rates on NII as well as unrealized income associated with more recent hedging activity that has been undertaken to reduce EVE exposure. The changes in NII sensitivity are primarily the result of the changes in balance sheet composition described previously, combined with the impact of hedges in the respective parallel rate shock scenarios.

Our base case static 12-month NII forecast at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 increased compared to December 31, 2020 by ~~$735 million,~~$1.3 billion, driven primarily by the growth in the balance sheet that has taken place year-to-date. Specifically, a large portion of asset growth has been deployed in the fixed income investment securities portfolio as noted above. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, we also held a relatively high cash position which ~~we expect~~is expected to ~~be invested in the near future.~~decrease as excess funds are invested.

A majority of our loans are indexed to Prime and LIBOR. In the upward parallel simulated rate shock scenarios, interest income on assets that are tied to variable rate indexes, primarily our variable rate loans, are expected to benefit our base 12-month NII projections. The opposite is true for downward rate shock scenarios.

Table of Contents

The 12-month NII simulations include repricing assumptions on our interest-bearing deposit products which we set at our discretion based on client needs and our overall funding mix. Repricing of interest-bearing deposits impacts estimated interest expense.

For the interest rate scenarios, the simulation model incorporates embedded rate floors on loans, where present, which prevents model benchmark rates from moving below zero percent in the down rate scenarios. The embedded rate floors are also a factor in the up-rate scenarios to the extent a simulated increase in rates is needed before floored rates are cleared. In addition, we assume deposit balance decay rates based on a historical deposit study of our clients. These assumptions may change in future periods based on changes in client behavior and at management's discretion. Actual changes in our deposit pricing strategies may differ from our current model assumptions and may have an impact on our actual sensitivity overall.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, processes, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of our most recently completed fiscal quarter, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

We completed our acquisition of Boston Private on July 1, 2021. The scope of management's assessment of the effectiveness the Company's disclosure controls and procedures did not include the internal controls over financial reporting of Boston Private. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC Staff's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of management’s assessment for one year following the acquisition. Boston Private represents approximately 4 percent of our total consolidated revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and approximately 5 percent of total consolidated assets as of September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
