NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Customers Bancorp, Inc. ~~(the “Bancorp” or “Customers~~(“Customers Bancorp”) is a bank holding company engaged in banking activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, Customers Bank ~~(the “Bank”~~("the Bank”), collectively referred to as “Customers” herein. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Customers Bancorp ~~Inc.~~ and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ~~Customers~~the Bank, and non-bank subsidiaries, serve residents and businesses in Southeastern Pennsylvania (Bucks, Berks, Chester, Philadelphia and Delaware Counties); Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (Dauphin County); Rye Brook, New York (Westchester County); Hamilton, New Jersey (Mercer County); Boston, Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode Island; Portsmouth, New Hampshire (Rockingham County); Manhattan and Melville, New York; Washington, D.C.; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Orlando, Florida; Wilmington, North Carolina; and nationally for certain loan and deposit products. The Bank has 1412 full-service branches and provides commercial banking products, primarily loans and deposits. In addition, Customers Bank also administratively supports loan and other financial products, including equipment finance leases, to customers through its limited-purpose offices in Boston, ~~Massachusetts,~~Massachusetts; Providence, Rhode ~~Island,~~Island; Portsmouth, New ~~Hampshire,~~Hampshire; Manhattan and Melville, New ~~York,~~York; Philadelphia and ~~Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.~~Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; Orlando, Florida and Wilmington, North Carolina; and other locations. The Bank also ~~provides liquidity to residential mortgage originators~~serves specialty niche businesses nationwide, ~~through~~including its commercial loans to mortgage banking businesses, commercial equipment financing, SBA lending, specialty lending and consumer loans through relationships with fintech companies.

~~Through BankMobile, a division of Customers~~The Bank Customers offers state of the art high tech digital banking services to consumers, students, and the "under banked" nationwide. The combination of the BankMobile technology software platform with the Vibe Student Checking and Refund Management Disbursement Services business (the "Disbursement business") acquired from Higher One Holdings, Inc. and Higher One, Inc. (together, "Higher One") in June 2016 propelled BankMobile to one of the largest mobile banking services in the United States by number of customers. Customers has announced its intent to spin-off BankMobile to Customers’ shareholders through a tax-free spin-off/merger transaction. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of BankMobile will not be reported separately as held for sale, and its operating results and associated cash flows will not be reported as discontinued operations, until execution of the spin-off/merger transaction and will be considered held and used for all periods presented. Previously reported held-for-sale balances in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and corresponding operating results and cash flows for the periods presented, have been reclassified to conform with the current period consolidated financial statement presentation. See NOTE 3 TAX-FREE SPIN-OFF AND MERGER.

~~Customers~~ is subject to regulation of the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities and the Federal Reserve Bank and is periodically examined by those regulatory authorities. ~~Customers Bancorp has made certain equity investments through its wholly owned subsidiaries CB Green Ventures Pte Ltd. and CUBI India Ventures Pte Ltd.~~

NOTE 2 ~~- ACQUISITION ACTIVITY~~

On June 15, 2016, Customers completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and the assumption of certain liabilities of the Disbursement business from Higher One. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of December 15, 2015 between Customers and Higher One. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Customers also acquired all existing relationships with vendors and educational institutions, and all intellectual property and assumed normal business related liabilities. In conjunction with the acquisition, Customers hired approximately 225 Higher One employees primarily located in New Haven, Connecticut that manage the Disbursement business and serve the Disbursement business customers.

The transaction contemplates aggregate guaranteed payments to Higher One of $42 million. The aggregate purchase price payable by Customers is $37 million in cash, with the payments to be made as follows: (i) $17 million in cash paid upon the closing of the acquisition, (ii) $10 million in cash upon the first anniversary of the closing and (iii) $10 million in cash paid upon the second anniversary of the closing. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, $10 million was paid to Higher One in June 2017. In addition, concurrently with the closing, the parties entered into a Transition Services Agreement pursuant to which Higher One provided certain transition services to Customers through June 30, 2017. As consideration for these services, Customers paid Higher One an additional $5 million in cash. Customers also will be required to make additional payments to Higher One if, during the three years following the closing, revenues from the acquired Disbursement business exceed $75 million in a year. The potential payment is equal to 35% of the amount the Disbursement business related revenue exceeds $75 million in each year. As of September 30, 2017, Customers has not recorded a liability for any additional contingent consideration payable under the Purchase Agreement.

As specified in the Purchase Agreement, the payments of $10 million payable to Higher One upon each of the first and second anniversary of the transaction closing were placed into an escrow account with a third party. The escrow account with $10 million and $20 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in aggregate restricted cash and the corresponding obligation to pay Higher One pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement have been assigned to BankMobile and are included with "Cash and cash equivalents" and "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheets. For more information regarding Customers' plans for BankMobile and the presentation of BankMobile within the consolidated financial statements, see NOTE 3 ~~- TAX-FREE SPIN-OFF AND MERGER.~~

~~The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially presented at their estimated fair values based on a preliminary~~

~~allocation of the purchase price. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management to make estimates~~

~~about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that were highly subjective and~~

~~subject to change. The fair value estimates were considered preliminary and subject to change for up to one year after the~~

closing date of the acquisition as additional information became available. Based on a preliminary purchase price allocation, Customers recorded $4.3 million in goodwill as a result of the acquisition. At December 31, 2016, Customers recorded adjustments to the estimated fair values of prepaid expenses and other liabilities, which resulted in a $1.0 million increase in goodwill. The adjusted amount of goodwill of $5.3 million reflects the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of

the net assets acquired. The goodwill recorded is deductible for tax purposes. The purchase price allocation was considered final as of June 30, 2017. The following table summarizes the final adjusted amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

(amounts in thousands)
Fair value of assets acquired:
Developed software $ 27,400
Other intangible assets 9,300
Accounts receivable 2,784
Prepaid expenses 418
Fixed assets, net 229
Total assets acquired 40,131

Fair value of liabilities assumed:
Other liabilities 5,735
Deferred revenue 2,655
Total liabilities assumed 8,390

Net assets acquired $ 31,741

Transaction cash consideration (1) $ 37,000

Goodwill recognized $ 5,259

(1) Includes $10 million payable to Higher One upon each of the first and second anniversary of the transaction closing, which has been placed into an escrow account with a third party (aggregate amount of $20 million at December 31, 2016). Customers paid the first $10 million due to Higher One in June 2017.

The fair value for the developed software was estimated based on expected revenue attributable to the software utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology giving consideration to potential obsolescence. The developed software is being amortized over ten years based on the estimated economic benefits received. The fair values for the other intangible assets represent the value of existing student and university relationships and a non-compete agreement with Higher One based on estimated retention rates and discounted cash flows. Other intangible assets are being amortized over an estimated life ranging from four to twenty years. Because BankMobile met the criteria to be classified as held for sale at December 31, 2016, the acquired assets were not depreciated or amortized during first quarter 2017 and second quarter 2017. The reclassification of the acquired assets as held and used as of September 30, 2017 resulted in depreciation and amortization expense for the developed software, other intangible assets, and fixed assets totaling $3.5 million in third quarter 2017. The acquired assets were reclassified to held and used at their carrying amounts, adjusted for depreciation and amortization for the periods they were classified as held for sale, which was lower than their estimated fair values as of September 30, 2017.

~~NOTE 3 – TAX-FREE SPIN-OFF AND MERGER~~

In third quarter 2017, Customers decided that the best strategy for its shareholders for divesting BankMobile was to spin-off BankMobile to Customers’ shareholders through a spin-off/merger transaction. The tax-free spin-off is expected to be followed by a merger of Customers' BankMobile Technologies, Inc. subsidiary ("BMT") into Clearwater Florida based Flagship Community Bank ("Flagship"), with Customers' shareholders receiving shares of Flagship common stock in exchange for shares of BMT they receive in the spin-off. Flagship is expected to separately purchase BankMobile deposits directly from Customers for cash. Following completion of the spin-off and merger and other transactions contemplated in a purchase and sale agreement between Customers and Flagship, Customers' shareholders would receive collectively more than 50% of Flagship common stock, valued at approximately $110 million. The common stock of the merged entities, to be called BankMobile, is expected to be listed on a national securities exchange after completion of the transactions. Customers believes the transactions will be treated as a tax-free exchange for both Customers' shareholders and Customers. Customers expects to execute an Amended and Restated Purchase and Assumption Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Amended Agreement”) with Flagship to effect the spin-off and merger and Flagship’s purchase of BankMobile deposits from Customers. Customers expects that the Amended Agreement will provide that completion of the transactions will be subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, certain Flagship shareholder approvals, successful raising of capital by Flagship, and other customary closing conditions. Customers expects the transaction to close in mid-2018.

At December 31, 2016, BankMobile met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, and accordingly the assets and liabilities of BankMobile were presented as “Assets held for sale,” “Non-interest bearing deposits held for sale,” and “Other liabilities held for sale” and BankMobile’s operating results and associated cash flows were presented as “Discontinued operations”. However, with the third quarter 2017 spin-off/merger decision, generally accepted accounting principles require that assets, liabilities, operating results, and cash flows associated with a business to be disposed of through a spin-off/merger transaction not be reported as held for sale or discontinued operations until execution of the spin-off/merger transaction. Accordingly, BankMobile's assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows will not be reported separately as held for sale or discontinued operations at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and instead will be reported as held and used. As a result, Customers measured the business at the lower of its (i) carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the business been continuously classified as held and used, or (ii) fair value at the date the decision not to sell was made. Customers recorded a charge of $4.2 million in third quarter 2017 relating to the amount of depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recorded had the assets been continuously classified as held and used.

Prior reported December 31, 2016 assets held for sale, non-interest bearing deposits held for sale and other liabilities held for sale have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation as summarized below. Amounts previously reported as discontinued operations have also been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation within the accompanying consolidated financial statements as summarized below. Customers will continue reporting the Community Business Banking and BankMobile segment results. See NOTE 14 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS.

The following summarizes the effect of the reclassification from held for sale classification to held and used classification on the previously reported consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 and the previously reported consolidated statements of income for the the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016:

~~NOTE 4~~ — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements ~~of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries~~ have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. The December 31, ~~2016~~2021 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Customers Bancorp’s audited ~~2016~~2021 consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for the periods presented. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~2016~~2021 consolidated financial statements of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries included in Customers' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2021 filed with the SEC on ~~March 8, 2017. That~~February 28, 2022 (the "2021 Form 10-K"). The 2021 Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s significant accounting policies, which include its policies on Principles of Consolidation; Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows; Restrictions on Cash and Amounts due from Banks; Business Combinations; Investment Securities; Loan Accounting Framework; ~~Allowance~~Loans Held for ~~Loan Losses;~~Sale and Loans at Fair Value; Loans Receivable - Mortgage Warehouse, at Fair Value; Loans Receivable, PPP; Loans and Leases Receivable; PCD Loans and Leases; ACL; Goodwill and ~~other~~Other Intangible Assets; ~~Investments in~~ FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank, and ~~other restricted stock;~~ Other ~~Real Estate Owned; FDIC Loss Sharing Receivable and Clawback Liability; Bank-Owned Life Insurance;~~Restricted Stock; OREO; BOLI; Bank Premises and Equipment; Lessor and Lessee Operating Leases; Treasury Stock; Income Taxes; Share-Based Compensation; ~~Segments;~~Transfer of Financial Assets; Derivative Instruments and Hedging; Comprehensive ~~Income;~~Income (Loss); EPS; and ~~Earnings per Share. Certain~~Loss Contingencies. There have been no material changes to Customers Bancorp's significant accounting policies noted above for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Customers Bancorp completed the divestiture of BankMobile Technologies, Inc., the technology arm of its BankMobile segment, to MFAC Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MFAC on January 4, 2021. Following the completion of the divestiture of BMT, BankMobile's serviced deposits and loans and the related net interest income have been combined with Customers’ financial condition and the results of operations as a single reportable segment. BMT's operating results and associated cash flows have been presented as "Discontinued operations" within the accompanying consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts ~~have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year.~~

~~Reclassifications~~

As described in NOTE 3 - TAX-FREE SPIN-OFF AND MERGER, as of September 30, 2017, Customers reclassified BankMobile, a segment previously classified as held for sale to held and used, as it no longer met the held-for-sale criteria. Certain prior period amounts and note disclosures (including NOTE 9 and NOTE 12) have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. ~~Except~~See – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS for ~~these reclassifications, there have been no material changes~~additional information.

Accounting and Reporting Considerations related to ~~Customers' significant accounting policies as disclosed~~COVID-19

Accounting for PPP Loans

In April 2020, Customers began originating loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA. The PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in ~~Customers' Annual Report on Form 10-K~~accordance with the requirements of the PPP. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and terms of two or five years, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. Payments are deferred for the ~~year ended~~first six months of the loan. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA pays the originating bank a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5% based on the size of the loan. On December ~~31, 2016.~~27, 2020, the CAA was signed into law, including Division N, Title III, the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act, which provided $284 billion in additional funding for the SBA's PPP for small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 was enacted expanding eligibility for first and second round of PPP loans and revising the exclusions from payroll costs for purposes of loan forgiveness. The second round of PPP loans have the same general loan terms as the first round, and a processing fee of up to $2,500 per loan of less than $50,000, and 1% to 3% for loans greater than $50,000. Customers classified the PPP loans as held for investment and these loans are carried at amortized cost and interest income is recognized using the interest method. The origination fees, net of direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the related loans over their contractual life using the interest method. Customers has elected to not estimate prepayments as a policy election. No ACL has been recognized for PPP loans as these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. See NOTE 8 – LOANS AND LEASES RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES for additional information.

Loan Modifications

Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, gave entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs. In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offered practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were TDRs. Customers applied Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the interagency statement in connection with applicable modifications. For modifications that qualified under either the CARES Act or the interagency statement, TDR accounting and reporting was suspended. These modifications generally involved principal and/or interest payment deferrals for a period of 90 days at a time and could be extended to six months or longer for modifications that qualified under the Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended, if requested by the borrower as long as the reason was still related to COVID-19. These modified loans were not reported as past due or nonaccrual during the deferral period. See NOTE 8 – LOANS AND LEASES RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Presented below are recently issued accounting standards that Customers has adopted as well as those that the ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)~~FASB has issued but are not yet ~~effective or that Customers has not yet adopted.~~

~~Recently Issued Accounting Standards~~effective.

Accounting Standards Adopted in ~~2017~~2022

~~Since January 1, 2017, Customers has adopted the following FASB Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”), none of which had a material impact to Customers’ consolidated financial statements:~~

~~Customers adopted ASU 2016-05,~~ ~~Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships,~~ on a prospective basis. This ASU clarifies that a change in the counterparties to a derivative contract (i.e., a novation), in and of itself, does not require the de-designation of a hedging relationship provided that all the other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met.

~~Customers also adopted ASU 2016-06,~~ ~~Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments~~. This ASU clarifies that a contingency of put or call exercise does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis of hybrid financial instruments. In other words, a contingent put or call option embedded in a debt instrument would be evaluated for possible separate accounting as a derivative instrument without regard to the nature of the exercise contingency. However, as required under the existing guidance, companies will still need to evaluate the other relevant embedded derivative guidance, such as whether the payoff from the contingent put or call option is adjusted based on changes in an index other than interest rates or credit risk, and whether the debt involves a substantial premium or discount. As the adoption did not result in any significant impact to Customers’ consolidated financial statements, it did not result in a modified retrospective application.

~~Customers also adopted ASU 2016-07,~~ ~~Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting,~~ on a prospective basis. This ASU eliminates the requirement for the retrospective use of the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence of an investor. The amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of

~~the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting.~~

~~Customers also adopted ASU 2016-17,~~ ~~Consolidation - Interests Held Through Related Parties that are Under Common Control. This ASU amends the guidance included in ASU 2015-02,~~ ~~Consolidation: Amendments to Consolidation Analysis~~ which Customers adopted in first quarter 2016. This ASU makes a narrow amendment that requires that a single decision maker considers indirect economic interests in an entity held through related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. Prior to this amendment, indirect interests held through related parties that are under common control were to be considered equivalent of the single decision maker’s direct interests in their entirety which could result in a single decision maker consolidating the VIE. As the adoption did not result in any significant impact to Customers’ consolidated financial statements, it did not result in a full or modified retrospective application.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

Issued March 2022

• Eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by

creditors, and applies the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan.

• Provides enhanced disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings and disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326.

• TDR and vintage disclosures are to be adopted prospectively. An entity may adopt TDR recognition and measurement guidance prospectively or elect to use a modified retrospective transition method, with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption.

• Customers expects this guidance will result in additional disclosures related to gross write-offs by vintage year and expansive disclosures for certain loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
• Customers intends to adopt this guidance during adoption period and is currently evaluating the expected impact of this guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The guidance also changes certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Customers plans to adopt this ASU by January 1, 2018. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective approach. While Customers continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, Customers does not currently expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 4, 2021, Customers Bancorp completed the divestiture of BMT, the technology arm of its BankMobile segment, to MFAC Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MFAC, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 6, 2020, by and among MFAC, MFAC Merger Sub Inc., BMT, Customers Bank, the sole stockholder of BMT, and Customers Bancorp, the parent bank holding company for Customers Bank (as amended on November 2, 2020 and December 8, 2020). Following the completion of the divestiture of BMT, BankMobile's serviced deposits and loans and the related net interest income have been combined with Customers' financial condition and the results of operations as a single reportable segment.

Customers received cash consideration of $23.1 million upon closing of the divestiture and ~~consolidated financial statements.~~$3.7 million of additional cash consideration in May 2021. Upon closing of the divestiture, the holders of Customers Bancorp's common stock who held their shares as of the close of business on December 18, 2020 became entitled to receive an aggregate of 4,876,387 shares of BM Technologies' common stock. Customers distributed 0.15389 shares of BM Technologies common stock for each share of Customers Bancorp's common stock held as of the close of business on December 18, 2020 as special dividends. Certain team members of BMT also received 1,348,748 restricted shares of BM Technologies' common stock in the form of severance payments. The total stock consideration from the divestiture that were distributed to holders of Customers Bancorp's common stock and certain BMT team members represented 52% of the outstanding common stock of BM Technologies at the closing date of the divestiture.

~~In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11,~~ ~~Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, which will change the classification analysis~~The sale of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) would no longer beBMT was accounted for as a ~~derivative liability at fair value~~sale of non-controlling interest and the merger between BMT and MFAC was accounted for as a ~~result~~reverse recapitalization as BMT was considered to be the accounting acquirer.

BMT's historical financial ~~instruments,~~results for periods prior to the ~~amendments require entities to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common shareholders~~divestiture are reflected in basic earnings per share ("EPS"). For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Customers currently does not have any equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features, accordingly Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations andBancorp’s consolidated financial statements ~~however, Customers will continue to evaluate~~as discontinued operations. BMT's operating results and associated cash flows have been presented as "Discontinued operations" within the ~~potential impact through the adoption date.~~

~~In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,~~ ~~Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting~~, which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718. Under this ASU, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award as equity or a liability changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications under ASC 718. The ASU will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Customers generally does not modify the terms of conditions of its share-based payment awards, accordingly Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations andaccompanying consolidated financial statements ~~however, Customers will continue~~and prior period amounts have been reclassified to ~~evaluate~~conform with the ~~potential impact through the adoption date.~~current period presentation.

~~In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08,~~ ~~Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs:~~ ~~Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,~~ ~~which requires that premiums for certain callable debt securities held be amortized~~The following summarized financial information related to their earliest call date. This ASU does not affect the accounting for securities purchased at a discount. This ASU will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018, with earlier adoption permitted. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective approach. Customers currentlyBMT has ~~an immaterial amount of callable debt securities purchased with premiums, accordingly Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant~~

~~impact on its financial condition, results of~~been segregated from continuing operations and ~~consolidated financial statements, however, Customers will continue to evaluate the potential impact through the adoption date.~~

~~In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05,~~ ~~Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets,~~ which clarifies the scope and application of the accounting guidance on the sale of nonfinancial assets to non-customers, including partial sales. This ASU defines an in-substance nonfinancial asset, in part,reported as a financial asset promised to a counterparty in a contract if substantially all of the fair value of the assets (recognized and unrecognized) that are promised to the counterparty in the contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets. If substantially all of the fair value of the assets that are promised to the counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 610-20. This ASU also unifies the guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing the sales of real estate, removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model, and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. This ASU will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results ofdiscontinued operations ~~and consolidated financial statements.~~

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,~~ ~~Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment~~, which will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test that requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of its goodwill through a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Instead, under this ASU, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. Entities will also be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. Customers expects to early adopt this ASU upon its next annual goodwill impairment test in 2017 and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01,~~ ~~Clarifying the Definition of a Business~~, which narrows the definition of a business and clarifies that to be considered a business, the fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) should not be concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. In addition, to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together will significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. Also, the amendments narrow the definition of the term “output” so that it is consistent with how outputs are defined in ASC Topic 606, ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a prospective basis. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

~~In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash~~, which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Customers does not expect the adoption to this ASU to have a significant impact on the presentation of its statement of cash flows.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16-Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory~~, which requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This eliminates the current exception for all intra-entity transfers of an asset other than inventory that requires deferral of the tax effects until the asset is sold to a third party or otherwise recovered through use.

This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which aims to reduce the existing diversity in practice with regards to the following specific items in the Statement of Cash Flows:~~

1.			~~Cash payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs will be classified in financing activities.~~


2.			Upon settlement of zero-coupon bonds and bonds with insignificant cash coupons, the portion of the payment attributable to imputed interest will be classified as an operating activity, while the portion of the payment attributable to principal will be classified as a financing activity.


3.			Cash paid by an acquirer soon after a business combination (i.e. approximately three months or less) for the settlement of a contingent consideration liability will be classified in investing activities. Payments made thereafter should be separated between financing activities and operating activities. Cash payments up to the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized at the acquisition date will be classified in financing activities; any excess will be classified in operating activities.


4.			Cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims will be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage (i.e., the nature of the loss). Cash proceeds from lump-sum settlements will be classified based on the nature of each loss component included in the settlement.


5.			Cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies will be classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Cash payments for premiums on BOLI may be classified as cash outflows for investing, operating, or a combination of both.


6.			A transferor’s beneficial interest obtained in a securitization of financial assets will be disclosed as a non-cash activity, and cash received from beneficial interests will be classified in investing activities.


7.			~~Distributions received from equity method investees will be classified using either a cumulative earnings approach or a look-through approach as an accounting policy election.~~

~~The ASU contains additional guidance clarifying when an entity should separate cash receipts~~In connection with the divestiture, Customers entered into various agreements with BM Technologies, including a transition services agreement, software license agreement, deposit servicing agreement, non-competition agreement and ~~cash payments~~loan agreement for periods ranging from one to ten years. Customers incurred expenses of $17.8 million and ~~classify them into more than one class of cash flows (including when reasonable judgment is required~~$13.7 million, respectively, to ~~estimate and allocate cash flows) versus when an entity should classify the aggregate amount into one class of cash flows on the basis of predominance.~~This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Customers is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on the presentation of its statement of cash flows.

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.~~ This ASU requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model to estimate lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset (including HTM securities), presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. This ASU will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach. The CECL model is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances for credit losses rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do todayBM Technologies under the ~~OTTI model,~~deposit servicing agreement, included within the technology, communication and will be allowed to reverse previously established allowances in the event the credit of the issuer improves. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2019. Earlier adoption is also permitted. Adoption of the new guidance can be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. Customers is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU, initiating implementation efforts across the company, and planning for loss modeling requirements consistent with lifetime expected loss estimates. It is expected that the new model will include different assumptions used in calculating credit losses, such as estimating losses over the estimated life of a financial asset and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions. The adoption of this ASU may result in an increase to Customers' allowance for loan losses which will depend upon the nature and characteristics of Customers' loan portfolio at the adoption date, as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date. Customers currently does not intend to early adopt this new guidance.

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04,~~ ~~Liabilities - Extinguishments of Liabilities: Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products~~, that would require issuers of prepaid stored-value product (such as gift cards, telecommunication cards, and traveler’s checks), to derecognize the financial liability related to those products for breakage. Breakage is the value of prepaid stored-value products that is not redeemed by consumers for goods, services or cash. There is currently a diversity in the methodology used to recognize breakage. Subtopic 405-20, ~~Extinguishment of Liabilities, includes derecognition guidance for both financial liabilities and nonfinancial liabilities, and Topic 606,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~, includes authoritative breakage guidance but excludes financial liabilities. The amendments in this ASU provide a narrow scope exception to the guidance in Subtopic 405-20 to require that breakage be accounted for consistent with the breakage guidance in Topic 606. This ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. Customers does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its financial condition, results ofbank operations ~~and consolidated financial statements.~~

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases, which supersedes the current lease accounting guidance for both lessees and lessors under ASC 840,~~ ~~Leases~~. From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense ~~recognition~~ in the income ~~statement for lessees. The new guidance will require lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to~~from continuing operations during the ~~existing guidance for sales-type, direct financing leases~~three months ended March 31, 2022 and ~~operating leases. The new standard is effective for~~2021. Customers ~~for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital~~held $2.2 billion and ~~operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning~~$1.8 billion of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Customers is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial condition and results of operations and expects to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for substantially all of its operating lease commitments based on the present value of unpaid lease paymentsdeposits serviced by BM Technologies as of ~~the date~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The loan agreement with BM Technologies was terminated early in November 2021. The transition services agreement with BM Technologies, as amended, expired on March 31, 2022.

Table of ~~adoption. Customers does not intend to early adopt this ASU.~~Contents

~~In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,~~ ~~Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.~~ The guidance in this ASU among other things, (1) requires equity investments with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (2) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (3) eliminates the requirement for public entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (4) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (5) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (6) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (7) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities. The guidance in this ASU is effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Customers is in the process of evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this ASU, however, it does not expect the impact to be significant to its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements given the immaterial amount of its investment in equity securities.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, superseding the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605. This ASU requires an entity to recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendment includes a five-step process to assist an entity in achieving the main principle(s) of revenue recognition under ASC 605. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, which formalized the deferral of the effective date of the amendment for a period of one-year from the original effective date. Following the issuance of ASU 2015-14, the amendment will be effective for Customers for its first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-08, an amendment to the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which reframed the structure of the indicators of when an entity is acting as an agent and focused on evidence that an entity is acting as the principal or agent in a revenue transaction. ASU 2016-08 also eliminated two of the indicators (the entity’s consideration is in the form of a commission and the entity is not exposed to credit risk) in making that determination. This amendment also clarifies that each indicator may be more or less relevant to the assessment depending on the terms and conditions of the contract. In April 2016, the FASB also issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies the implementation guidance on identifying promised goods or services and on determining whether an entity's promise to grant a license with either a right to use the entity's intellectual property

(which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity's intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, an amendment to ASU 2014-09, which provided practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on transition, collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The amendments, collectively, should be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.

Because the ASU does not apply to revenue associated with leases and financial instruments (including loans and securities), Customers current assessment is that the new guidance will not have a material impact on the elements of its consolidated statements of operations most closely associated with leases and financial instruments (such as interest income, interest expense and securities gain). Customers will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach. Customers has completed its identification of all revenue streams that are included in its financial statements and has identified its deposit related fees, service charges, debit card and prepaid card interchange income, and university fees to be within the scope of the standard. Customers is also substantially complete with its review of the related contracts and has also completed its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether such costs should be presented as expenses or contra-revenue (i.e., gross vs. net). Customers' overall assessment suggests that adoption of this ASU will not materially change its current method and timing of recognizing revenue for these revenue streams. Customers, however, is still evaluating the ASU’s expanded disclosure requirements. As provided above, Customers current assessment is that the adoption of this ASU will not have a significant impact to its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

In June 2021, Customers sold all of the outstanding shares in CB Green Ventures Pte Ltd. and CUBI India Ventures Pte Ltd., which held the equity securities issued by a foreign entity, for $3.8 million, and recognized $2.8 million in loss on sale of foreign subsidiaries within non-interest income on the consolidated statement of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Customers recognized unrealized gains of $1.0 million on its equity securities. These unrealized gains and losses are reported as unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities within non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income.

Customers' transactions with unconsolidated VIEs include sales of consumer installment loans and investments in the ~~tables below:~~securities issued by the VIEs. Customers is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because Customers has no right to make decisions that will most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIEs. Customers' continuing involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs is not significant. Customers' continuing involvement is not considered to be significant where Customers only invests in securities issued by the VIE and was not involved in the design of the VIE or where Customers has transferred financial assets to the VIE for only cash consideration. Customers' investments in the securities issued by the VIEs are classified as AFS debt securities on the consolidated balance sheets, and represent Customers' maximum exposure to loss.

~~(2)~~	~~Loans where next payment due is less than 30 days from the report date.~~

~~(3)~~

Purchased-credit-impaired loans aggregated into a pool are accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows, and the past due status of the pools, or that of the individual loans within the pools, is not meaningful. Because of the credit impaired nature of the loans, the loans are recorded at a discount reflecting estimated future cash flows and the Bank recognizes interest income on each pool of loans reflecting the estimated yield and passage of time. Such loans are considered to be performing. Purchased-credit-impaired loans that are not in pools accrete interest when the timing and amount of their expected cash flows are reasonably estimable, and are reported as performing loans.


~~(4)~~	~~Amounts exclude deferred costs and fees, unamortized premiums and discounts, and the allowance for loan losses.~~


~~(5)~~	Manufactured housing loans purchased in 2010 are subject to cash reserves held at the Bank that are used to fund past-due payments when the loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent. Subsequent purchases are subject to varying provisions in the event of borrowers’ delinquencies.

Certain manufactured housing loans were purchased in August 2010. A portion of the purchase price may be used to reimburse the Bank under the specified terms in the purchase agreement for defaults of the underlying borrower and other specified items. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, funds available for reimbursement, if necessary, were $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Each quarter, these funds are evaluated to determine if they would be sufficient to absorb the probable incurred losses within the manufactured housing portfolio.

At March 31, 2022, the ACL on loans and leases was $145.8 million, an increase of $8.0 million from the December 31, 2021 balance of $137.8 million. The increase in ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to the loan growth in the loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family and commercial and industrial loans.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, there were ~~$20.8~~$16.6 million and ~~$16.4~~$16.5 million, respectively, in loans reported as ~~troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).~~TDRs. TDRs are reported as impaired loans in the ~~calendar year~~quarter of their restructuring and are evaluated to determine whether they should be placed on ~~non-accrual~~non-

accrual status. In subsequent ~~years,~~quarters, a TDR may be returned to accrual status if it satisfies a minimum ~~six-month~~ performance requirement of six months, however, it will remain classified as impaired. Generally, the Bank requires sustained performance for nine months before returning a TDR to accrual status. Customers had no lease receivables that had been restructured as a TDR as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

~~Modification~~Section 4013 of ~~purchased-credit-impaired loans that are accounted for within loan pools in accordance with~~the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, gave entities temporary relief from the accounting ~~standards~~and disclosure requirements for ~~purchased-credit-impaired loans do not result~~TDRs. In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offered practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications in response to the ~~removal of these loans from~~COVID-19 pandemic were TDRs. For COVID-19 related loan modifications which met the ~~pool even if~~loan modification criteria under either the ~~modifications would otherwise be considered a TDR. Accordingly, as each pool is accounted~~CARES Act or the criteria specified by the regulatory agencies, Customers elected to suspend TDR accounting for ~~as a single asset with a single composite interest rate~~such loan modifications. There were no commercial deferments related to COVID-19 at March 31, 2022 and ~~an aggregate expectation of cash flows, modifications of loans within such pools are not considered TDRs.~~December 31, 2021. Consumer deferments related to COVID-19 were $3.3 million and $6.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The following table presents loans modified in a ~~troubled debt restructuring~~TDR by type of concession for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2016.~~2021. There were no modifications that involved forgiveness of ~~debt.~~

Loans modified in ~~troubled debt restructurings~~TDRs are evaluated for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of TDRs, including those which have experienced a subsequent default, is considered in the determination of an appropriate level of allowance for loan losses. There was no allowance recorded as a result of TDR modifications during the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there was one allowance recorded resulting from TDR modifications, totaling $1 thousand for one manufactured housing loan. There was one specific allowance totaling $29 thousand for one commercial real estate non-owner occupied loan resulting from TDR modifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

~~Allowance for Loan Losses and the FDIC Loss Sharing Receivable and Clawback Liability~~

Losses incurred on covered loans were eligible for partial reimbursement by the FDIC. Subsequent to the purchase date, the expected cash flows on the covered loans were subject to evaluation. Decreases in the present value of expected cash flows on the covered loans were recognized by increasing the allowance for loan losses with a related charge to the provision for loan losses. At the same time, the FDIC indemnification asset was increased reflecting an estimated future collection from the FDIC, which was recorded as a reduction to the provision for loan losses. If the expected cash flows on the covered loans increased such that a previously recorded impairment could be reversed, the Bank recorded a reduction in the allowance for loan losses (with a related credit to the provision for loan losses) accompanied by a reduction in the FDIC receivable balance (with a related charge to the provision for loan losses). Increases in expected cash flows on covered loans and decreases in expected cash flows from the FDIC loss sharing receivable, when there were no previously recorded impairments, were considered together and recognized over the remaining life of the loans as interest income. Decreases in the valuations of other real estate owned covered by the loss sharing agreements were recorded net of the estimated FDIC receivable as an increase to other real estate owned expense (a component of non-interest expense).

On July 11, 2016, Customers entered into an agreement to terminate all existing rights and obligations pursuant to the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. In connection with the termination agreement, Customers paid the FDIC $1.4 million as final payment under these agreements. The negotiated settlement amount was based on net losses incurred on the covered assets through September 30, 2015, adjusted for cash payments to and receipts from the FDIC as part of the December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016 certifications. Consequently, loans and other real estate owned previously reported as covered assets pursuant to the loss sharing agreements were no longer presented as covered assets as of June 30, 2016.

The following table presents changes in the allowance for loan losses and the FDIC loss sharing receivable, including the effects of the estimated clawback liability and the termination agreement, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Credit Quality Indicators

The ACL represents management's estimate of expected losses in Customers' loans and leases receivable portfolio, excluding commercial mortgage warehouse loans reported at fair value pursuant to a fair value option election and PPP loans receivable. Multi-family, commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, ~~construction,~~ and ~~residential real estate~~construction loans are rated based on an internally assigned risk rating system which is assigned at the time of loan origination and reviewed on a periodic, or on an “as needed” basis. ~~Manufactured~~Residential real estate loans, manufactured housing and ~~other consumer~~installment loans are evaluated based on the payment activity of the loan.

Table of Contents

To facilitate the monitoring of credit quality within the multi-family, commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction loan portfolios, and ~~residential real estate classes, and for purposes of analyzing historical loss rates used~~as an input in the ~~determination of the allowance for loan losses~~ACL lifetime loss rate model for the ~~respective~~commercial and industrial loan portfolio, ~~class,~~ the Bank utilizes the following categories of risk ratings: pass/satisfactory (includes risk rating 1 through 6), special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. The risk rating categories, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions, are assigned upon initial approval of credit to borrowers and updated periodically thereafter. ~~Pass/satisfactory~~Pass ratings, which are

assigned to those borrowers who do not have identified potential or well-defined weaknesses and for whom there is a high likelihood of orderly repayment, are updated periodically based on the size and credit characteristics of the borrower. All other categories are updated on a quarterly basis during the month preceding the end of the calendar quarter. While assigning risk ratings involves judgment, the risk-rating process allows management to identify riskier credits in a timely manner and allocate the appropriate resources to manage those ~~loans.~~

loans and leases. The 2021 Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s risk rating ~~grades are defined as follows:~~

~~“1” –~~ ~~Pass~~/~~Excellent~~

Loans rated 1 represent a credit extension of the highest quality. The borrower’s historic (at least five years) cash flows manifest extremely large and stable margins of coverage. Balance sheets are conservative, well capitalized, and liquid. After considering debt service for proposed and existing debt, projected cash flows continue to be strong and provide ample coverage. The borrower typically reflects broad geographic and product diversification and has access to alternative financial markets.

~~“2” –~~ ~~Pass~~/~~Superior~~

Loans rated 2 are those for which the borrower has a strong financial condition, balance sheet, operations, cash flow, debt capacity and coverage with ratios better than industry norms. The borrowers of these loans exhibit a limited leverage position, are virtually immune to local economies, and are in stable growing industries. The management team is well respected and the company has ready access to public markets.

~~“3” –~~ ~~Pass~~/~~Strong~~

Loans rated 3 are those loans for which the borrowers have above average financial condition and flexibility; more than satisfactory debt service coverage; balance sheet and operating ratios are consistent with or better than industry peers; operate in industries with little risk; move in diversified markets; and are experienced and competent in their industry. These borrowers’ access to capital markets is limited mostly to private sources, often secured, but the borrower typically has access to a wide range of refinancing alternatives.

~~“4” –~~ ~~Pass~~/~~Good~~

Loans rated 4 have a sound primary and secondary source of repayment. The borrower may have access to alternative sources of financing, but sources are not as widely available as they are to a higher grade borrower. These loans carry a normal level of risk, with very low loss exposure. The borrower has the ability to perform according to the terms of the credit facility. The margins of cash flow coverage are satisfactory but vulnerable to more rapid deterioration than the higher quality loans.

~~“5” –~~ ~~Satisfactory~~

Loans rated 5 are extended to borrowers who are determined to be a reasonable credit risk and demonstrate the ability to repay the debt from normal business operations. Risk factors may include reliability of margins and cash flows, liquidity, dependence on a single product or industry, cyclical trends, depth of management, or limited access to alternative financing sources. The borrower’s historical financial information may indicate erratic performance, but current trends are positive and the quality of financial information is adequate, but is not as detailed and sophisticated as information found on higher grade loans. If adverse circumstances arise, the impact on the borrower may be significant.

~~“6” –~~ ~~Satisfactory~~/~~Bankable with Care~~

Loans rated 6 are those for which the borrower has higher than normal credit risk; however, cash flow and asset values are generally intact. These borrowers may exhibit declining financial characteristics, with increasing leverage and decreasing liquidity and may have limited resources and access to financial alternatives. Signs of weakness in these borrowers may include delinquent taxes, trade slowness and eroding profit margins.

~~“7” –~~ ~~Special Mention~~

Loans rated Special Mention are credit facilities that may have potential developing weaknesses and deserve extra attention from the account manager and other management personnel. In the event potential weaknesses are not corrected or mitigated, deterioration in the ability of the borrower to repay the debt in the future may occur. This grade is not assigned to loans that

bear certain peculiar risks normally associated with the type of financing involved, unless circumstances have caused the risk to increase to a level higher than would have been acceptable when the credit was originally approved. Loans where significant actual, not potential, weaknesses or problems are clearly evident are graded in the category below.

~~“8” –~~ ~~Substandard~~

Loans are classified Substandard when the loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the company will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.

~~“9” –~~ ~~Doubtful~~

The Bank assigns a doubtful rating to loans that have all the attributes of a substandard rating with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit quality of the loan, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceeding, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral or refinancing plans.

~~“10” –~~ ~~Loss~~

The Bank assigns a loss rating to loans considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an active asset is not warranted. Amounts classified as loss are immediately charged off.grades.

Risk ratings are not established for certain consumer loans, including residential real estate, home equity, manufactured housing, and installment loans, mainly because these portfolios consist of a larger number of homogeneous loans with smaller balances. Instead, these portfolios are evaluated for risk mainly based upon aggregate payment history through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends and are classified as performing and non-performing.

Lessee

Customers has operating leases for its branches, certain LPOs, and administrative offices, with remaining lease terms ranging between 3 months and 8 years. These operating leases comprise substantially all of Customers' obligations in which Customers is the lessee. Most lease agreements consist of initial lease terms ranging between 1 and 5 years, with options to renew the leases or extend the term up to 15 years at Customers' sole discretion. Some operating leases include variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate, such as the CPI. Variable lease payments are not included in the liability or ROU asset and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. Customers' operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Pursuant to these agreements, Customers does not have any commitments that would meet the definition of a finance lease.

As most of Customers' operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, Customers utilized its incremental borrowing rate when determining the present value of lease payments.

CCF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Customers Bank and is referred to as the Equipment Finance Group. CCF goes to market through the following origination platforms: vendors, intermediaries, direct and capital markets. CCF is primarily focused on serving the following segments: transportation, construction (includes crane and utility), marine, franchise, general manufacturing (includes machine tool), helicopter/fixed wing, solar, packaging, plastics and food processing. Terms typically range from 24 months to 120 months. CCF offers the following products: Loans, Capital Lease, PUT, TRAC, Split-TRAC, and FMV. Direct finance leases are included in commercial and industrial loans and leases receivable.

The residual values are established by utilizing internally developed analyses, external studies, and/or third-party appraisals to establish a residual position. Expected credit losses on direct financing leases and the related estimated residual values are included in the ACL on loans and leases.

Leased assets under operating leases are carried at amortized cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges and are presented in other assets. The depreciation expense of the leased assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the leases up to the expected residual value. The expected residual value and, accordingly, the monthly depreciation expense, may change throughout the term of the lease. Operating lease rental income for leased assets is recognized in commercial lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Customers periodically reviews its operating leased assets for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the operating leased asset exceeds its fair value and is not recoverable. The carrying amount of operating leased assets is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the lease payments and the estimated residual value upon the eventual disposition of the equipment.

NOTE 1112 — REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank and the Bancorp are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Customers' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank and the Bancorp must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under the regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

In first quarter 2020, U.S federal banking regulatory agencies permitted banking organizations to phase-in, for regulatory capital purposes, the day-one impact of the new CECL accounting rule on retained earnings over a period of three years. As part of its response to the impact of COVID-19, on March 31, 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provided the option to temporarily delay certain effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period. The interim final rule allows banking organizations to delay for two years 100% of the day-one impact of adopting CECL and 25% of the cumulative change in the reported allowance for credit losses since adopting CECL. Customers has elected to adopt the interim final rule, which is reflected in the regulatory capital data presented below. The cumulative CECL capital transition impact as of December 31, 2021 which amounted to $61.6 million will be phased in at 25% per year beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2022, our regulatory capital ratios reflected 75%, or $46.2 million, benefit associated with the CECL transition provisions.

In April 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that permits banks to exclude the impact of participating in the SBA PPP program in their regulatory capital ratios. Specifically, PPP loans are zero percent risk weighted and a bank can exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPPLF from its average total consolidated assets for purposes of calculating the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio (i.e. a leverage ratio). Customers applied this regulatory guidance in the calculation of its regulatory capital ratios presented below.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Bancorp to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). At ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, the Bank and the Bancorp satisfied all capital requirements to which they were subject.

The Dodd-Frank Act required the Federal Reserve Bank to establish minimum consolidated capital requirements for bank holding companies that are as stringent as those required for insured depositary subsidiaries. In 2013, the federal banking agencies approved rules that implemented the Dodd-Frank requirements and certain other regulatory capital reforms effective January 1, 2015, that (i) introduced a new capital ratio pursuant to the prompt corrective action provisions, the common equity tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ratio, (ii) increased the adequately capitalized and well capitalized thresholds for the Tier 1

risk based capital ratios to 6% and 8%, respectively, (iii) changed the treatment of certain capital components for determining Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital, and (iv) changed the risk weighting of certain assets and off-balance sheet items in determining risk weighted assets.

Generally, to ~~be considered~~comply with the regulatory definition of adequately capitalized, or well capitalized, respectively, or to comply with the Basel III capital requirements, an institution must at least maintain the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total ~~risk based~~risk-based capital ratios and the Tier 1 leverage ratio in excess of the related minimum ratios as set forth in the following table:

NOTE 1213 — DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Customers uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC ~~Topic~~ 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For Customers, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. Many of these ~~financial~~ instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and a willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. For fair value disclosure purposes, Customers utilized certain fair value measurement criteria under ASC ~~Topic~~ 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures("ASC 820"), as explained below.

In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for Customers' various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Table of Contents

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, focusing on an exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

The fair value guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy and describes the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements.

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require adjustments to inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of Customers' financial instruments as of ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2016:~~2021:

~~Cash and cash equivalents:~~

~~The carrying amounts reported~~Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate those assets’ fair values. These assets are classified as Level 1 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.a Recurring Basis

Investment securities:

The fair values of ~~investment~~equity securities ~~available for sale~~with a readily determinable fair value, AFS debt securities and debt securities reported at fair value based on a fair value option election are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized and foreign securities exchanges (Level 1), quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2), matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices, or internally and externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3).

When quoted market prices are not available, Customers employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has an established process to challenge their valuations, or methodologies, that appear unusual or unexpected.

Customers also utilizes internally and externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument. These models use unobservable inputs that are inherently judgmental and reflect our best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. Certain unobservable inputs in isolation may have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the instrument for a given change in that input. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input. These assets are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The carrying amount of investments in FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank, and other restricted stock approximates fair value, and considers the limited marketability of such securities. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Loans held for sale - ~~Consumer residential~~Residential mortgage ~~loans:~~loans (fair value option):

~~The Bank~~Customers generally estimates the fair values of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Table of Contents

Loans ~~held for sale~~receivable - Commercial mortgage warehouse ~~loans:~~loans (fair value option):

The fair value of commercial mortgage warehouse loans is the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The loan is used by mortgage companies as short-term bridge financing between the funding of the mortgage loans and the finalization of the sale of the loans to an investor. Changes in fair value are not generally expected to be recognized because at inception of the transaction the underlying mortgage loans have already been sold to an approved investor. Additionally, the interest rate is variable, and the transaction is short-term, with an average life of 21under 30 days from purchase to sale. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

~~Loans held for sale - Multifamily loans:~~

The fair values of multi-family loans held for sale are estimated using pricing indications from letters of intent with third party investors, recent sale transactions within the secondary markets for loans with similar characteristics, non-binding indicative bids from brokers, or estimates made by management considering current market ratesDerivatives (assets and ~~terms. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.~~

~~Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses:~~

The fair values of loans held for investment are estimated using discounted cash flows and market rates at the balance sheet date that reflect the credit and interest rate-risk inherent in the loans. Projected future cash flows are calculated based upon contractual maturity or call dates, projected repayments and prepayments of principal. Generally, for variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. These assets are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

~~Impaired loans:~~

~~Impaired loans are those loans that are accounted for under ASC 310,~~ ~~Receivables~~, in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or discounted cash flow analysis. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties that collateralize the loans or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are generally classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

~~Other real estate owned:~~

The fair value of other real estate owned ("OREO") is determined by using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions or sales agreements with third parties. All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Appraisals are certified to the Bank and performed by appraisers on the Bank’s approved list of appraisers. Evaluations are completed by a person independent of management. The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property. Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”. These assets are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

~~Deposit liabilities:~~

The fair values disclosed for interest and non-interest bearing checking, passbook savings and money market deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). These liabilities are classified as Level 1 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered in the market on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. These liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

~~Federal funds purchased:~~

For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. These liabilities are classified as Level 1 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

~~Borrowings:~~

Borrowings consist of long-term and short-term FHLB advances, 5-year senior unsecured notes, and subordinated debt. For overnight borrowings, the carrying amounts are considered reasonable estimates of fair value and are classified as Level 1 fair value measurements. Fair values of all other FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on quoted prices for new FHLB advances with similar credit risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. The prices obtained from this active market represent a market value that is deemed to represent the transfer price if the liability were assumed by a third party. Fair values of privately placed subordinated and senior unsecured debt are estimated by a third-party financial adviser using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market rates currently offered on such debt with similar credit-risk characteristics, terms and remaining maturity. These liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The $63 million senior unsecured notes issued during third quarter 2013 are traded on The New York Stock Exchange, and their price can be obtained daily. This fair value measurement is classified as Level 1.

~~Derivatives (Assets and Liabilities)~~liabilities):

The fair values of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and credit derivatives are determined using models that incorporate readily observable market data into a market standard methodology. This methodology nets the discounted future cash receipts and the discounted expected cash payments. The discounted variable cash receipts and payments are based on expectations of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, fair value is adjusted for the effect of nonperformance risk by incorporating credit valuation adjustments for ~~the Bank~~Customers and its counterparties. These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The fair values of the residential mortgage loan commitments are derived from the estimated fair values that can be generated when the underlying mortgage loan is sold in the secondary market. ~~The Bank~~Customers generally uses commitments on hand from ~~third-~~third party investors to estimate an exit price and adjusts for the probability of the commitment being exercised based on ~~the Bank’s~~Customers' internal experience (i.e., pull-through rate). These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in "Other assets" and "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

~~Off-balance-sheet financial instruments:~~Collateral-dependent loans:

~~The~~Collateral-dependent loans are those loans that are accounted for under ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326"), in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or DCF analysis. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties that collateralize the loans, DCF based upon the expected proceeds, sales agreements or letters of intent with third parties. These assets are generally classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of ~~unused commitments~~input that is significant to ~~lend and standby letters of credit are considered to be~~ the ~~same as their contractual amounts.~~fair value measurements.

The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of Customers' fair value in its entirety because fair value calculations are only provided for a limited portion of Customers' assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making these estimates, comparisons between ~~Customer’s~~Customers' disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

NOTE 1314 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives

Customers is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Customers manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and durations of its assets and liabilities. Specifically, Customers enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the ~~value~~values of which are determined by interest rates. ~~Customers'~~Customers’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of ~~Customers'~~Customers’ known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain ~~borrowings.~~borrowings and deposits. Customers also has interest-rate derivatives resulting from ~~a service~~an accommodation provided to certain qualifying customers, and therefore, they are not used to manage ~~Customers'~~Customers’ interest-rate risk in assets or liabilities. Customers manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments used in this customer service in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of ~~Interest Rate~~Interest-Rate Risk

~~Customers'~~Customers’ objectives in using interest-rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to ~~interest-rate~~interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Customers primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its ~~interest-rate-risk~~interest rate risk management strategy. ~~Interest-rate~~Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Customers making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The ~~effective portion of~~ changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges isare recorded in ~~accumulated other comprehensive income~~AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged ~~forecasted transaction~~item affects earnings. To date, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuances of ~~debt. The ineffective portion of~~debt and a certain variable-rate deposit relationship.

Customers discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it is probable the ~~change~~forecasted hedged transactions will not occur in the initially identified time period. At such time, the associated gains and losses deferred in AOCI are reclassified immediately into earnings and any subsequent changes in the fair value of ~~the~~such derivatives ~~is to be~~are recognized directly in earnings. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2021, Customers terminated 4 interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $850 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest-rate risk associated with 3-month FHLB advances, and ~~2016,~~reclassified $25.9 million of the realized losses and accrued interest from AOCI to current earnings because the hedged forecasted transactions were determined to be no longer probable of occurring. Customers ~~did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.~~

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Customers' variable-rate debt. Customers expects to reclassify $1.2 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense during the next 12 months.

~~Customers is hedging~~hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for ~~forecasted transactions over~~ a ~~maximum period~~variable-rate deposit, which matured in June 2021.

Table of ~~24 months (excluding forecasted transactions related~~Contents

At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Customers had no interest rate derivative designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

Fair Value Hedges of Benchmark Interest-Rate Risk

Customers is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed rate AFS debt securities due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Customers uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate such as the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of ~~variable~~fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for Customers receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest ~~on existing financial instruments).~~income.

At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2022, Customers had ~~nine~~14 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling ~~$550.0~~$64.0 million that were designated as ~~cash flow~~fair value hedges of certain AFS debt securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Customers terminated 2 interest rate ~~risk.~~derivatives with notional amounts totaling $16.5 million that were designated as fair value hedges together with the sale of hedged AFS debt securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, Customers terminated 7 interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $186.8 million that were designated as fair value hedges together with the sale of hedged AFS debt securities. At December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, Customers had ~~four~~16 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling ~~$325.0~~$80.5 million ~~that were~~ designated as ~~cash flow hedges~~fair value hedges.

As of ~~interest rate risk. The hedges expire between January 2018 and April 2019.~~March 31, 2022, the following amounts were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Customers executes interest rate swaps ~~with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies~~ (typically the loan customers will swap a floating-rate loan for a fixed-rate loan). and interest rate caps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The customer interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that Customers executes with a third party in order to minimize ~~interest rate~~interest-rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. ~~Because~~As the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and caps and the offsetting third-party market swaps and caps are recognized directly in earnings. At ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2022, Customers had 76153 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of ~~$793.6~~$1.4 billion and 14 interest rate caps with an aggregated notional amount of $263.2 million related to this program. At December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, Customers had 76153 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of ~~$716.6~~$1.4 billion and 14 interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $264.7 million related to this program.

Customers enters into residential mortgage loan commitments in connection with its consumer mortgage banking activities to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future. These commitments are short-term in nature and generally expire in 30 to 60 days. The residential mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative instruments under ~~the~~ applicable accounting guidance and are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded directly in earnings. At ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, Customers had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan commitments of ~~$5.4~~$6.4 million and ~~$3.6~~$8.2 million, respectively.

Customers has also purchased and sold credit derivatives to either hedge or participate in the performance risk associated with some of its counterparties. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments and are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value reported directly in earnings. At ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2021, Customers had outstanding notional balances of credit derivatives of ~~$53.3~~$129.1 million and ~~$44.9~~$129.9 million, respectively.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

By entering into derivative contracts, Customers is exposed to credit risk. The credit risk associated with derivatives executed with customers is the same as that involved in extending the related loans and is subject to the same standard credit policies. To mitigate the credit-risk exposure to major derivative dealer counterparties, Customers only enters into agreements with those counterparties that maintain credit ratings of high ~~quality.~~quality or with central clearing parties.

Agreements with major derivative dealer counterparties contain provisions whereby default on any of Customers' indebtedness would be considered a default on its derivative obligations. Customers also has entered into agreements that contain provisions under which the counterparty could require Customers to settle its obligations if Customers fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution. As of ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net ~~liability~~asset position (which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance-risk) related to these agreements was ~~$7.3~~$9.6 million. In addition, Customers, which has ~~minimum~~ collateral posting thresholds with certain of these counterparties, ~~and at September 30, 2017~~ had posted ~~$8.3~~$4.1 million of cash as ~~collateral.~~collateral at March 31, 2022. Customers records cash posted as collateral with these counterparties, except with a central clearing entity, as a reduction in the outstanding balance of cash and cash equivalents and an increase in the balance of other assets.

(the "Bancorp" or "Customers Bancorp"), a financial holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Customers Bank (the "Bank"), collectively referred to as "Customers" herein. This information is intended to facilitate your understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to Customers' financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2022.

You should read this section in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Customers' ~~2016~~2021 Form 10-K.

Overview

Like most financial institutions, Customers derives the majority of its income from interest it receives on its interest-earning assets, such as loans, leases and investments. Customers' primary source of funds for making these loans, leases and investments are its deposits and borrowings, on which it pays interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of Customers' success is the amount of its net interest income, or the difference between the interest income on its interest-earning assets and the interest expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the difference between the interest income generated by interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, relative to the amount of average interest earning assets, which is referred to as net interest margin.

Customers Bancorp completed the divestiture of BankMobile Technologies, Inc., the technology arm of its BankMobile segment, to MFAC Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MFAC on January 4, 2021. Following the completion of the divestiture of BMT, BankMobile's serviced deposits and loans and the related net interest income have been combined with Customers’ financial condition and the results of operations as a single reportable segment. BMT's operating results and associated cash flows have been presented as "Discontinued operations" within the accompanying consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. For additional information refer to "NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, Customers Bank launched the Customers Bank Instant Token or CBITTM on the TassatPayTM blockchain-based instant B2B payments platform, which serves a growing array of B2B clients who want the benefit of instant payments: including key over-the-counter desks, exchanges, liquidity providers, market makers, funds, and B2B verticals such as trading operations, real estate,

CBIT may only be created by, transferred to and redeemed by commercial customers of Customers Bank on the instant B2B payments platform by maintaining U.S. dollars in non-interest bearing deposits at Customers Bank. CBIT is not listed or traded on any digital currency exchange. As of March 31, 2022, Customers Bank held $1.8 billion of deposits from customers participating in CBIT.

To further build its franchise and support the growth of its commercial lending initiatives, Customers added three new commercial verticals during 2021 within its Specialty Banking business. These three new verticals included fund finance, technology and venture capital banking and financial institutions group that provide financing to the private equity industry and cash management services to the alternative investment industry. Customers also launched a pilot digital small balance 7(a) lending within its existing SBA Lending business in third quarter 2021.

There is credit risk inherent in loans and leases requiring Customers to maintain an ACL to absorb credit losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible. Customers maintains this allowance by charging a provision for credit losses on loan and leases against its operating earnings. Customers has included a detailed discussion of this process, as well as several tables describing its ACL, in "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" and "NOTE 8 – LOANS AND LEASES RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Impact of COVID-19, Geopolitical Conflict and Macroeconomic Uncertainties

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 and its variants has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that Customers serves. Governmental responses during the pandemic have included orders closing businesses not deemed essential and directing individuals to restrict their movements, observe social distancing and shelter in place. These actions, together with responses to the pandemic by businesses and individuals, resulted in rapid decreases in commercial and consumer activity, temporary closures of many businesses that led to a loss of revenues and a rapid increase in unemployment, material decreases in oil and gas prices and in business valuations, disrupted global supply chains, market downturns and volatility, changes in consumer behavior related to pandemic fears, related emergency response legislation including the CARES Act and subsequent amendments and the Federal Reserve Board maintaining a low interest rate environment. The CARES Act included the SBA's PPP, a nearly $350 billion program designed to aid small- and medium-sized businesses through federally guaranteed loans distributed through banks. The PPP ended on May 31, 2021. Customers has helped thousands of small businesses by funding over $10 billion in PPP loans directly or through partnerships.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Customers has taken deliberate actions to ensure that it has the necessary balance sheet strength to serve its clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and reserves supported by a strong capital position. Customers' business and consumer customers continue to experience varying degrees of financial distress. In order to protect the health of its customers and team members, and to comply with applicable government directives, Customers had modified its business practices, including directing team members to work remotely insofar as is possible and implementing its business continuity plans and protocols to the extent necessary. Since that time, Customers has launched the “Return to Workplace” initiative, and communicated a goal of having more team members return to the workplace. In that communication, Customers announced the following steps along with a continuing commitment to remain empathetic and cognizant of balancing company principles, customer support, team member support and remaining vigilant in tracking and preventing COVID-19 exposures to protect our team members and customers. Customers implemented a “ hybrid model” encouraging and tracking the movement of more team members returning to the office, released a communication requiring all team members to read, sign and acknowledge a Code of Commitment to reveal exposures to COVID-19, thereby allowing Customers to manage the possible impact with 100 percent participation of our team members. Customers has started tracking vaccination rates and less than 10 percent of our team members are not vaccinated or not planning to be vaccinated.

Customers also implemented a short-term loan modification program to provide temporary payment relief to certain of its borrowers who met the program's qualifications. This program allowed for a deferral of payments for a maximum of 90 days at a time. The deferred payments along with interest accrued during the deferral period are due and payable on the maturity date of the existing loan. On December 27, 2020, the CAA was signed into law, which extended and expanded various relief provisions of the CARES Act including the temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs until January 1, 2022. All commercial loans previously on deferments became current by December 31, 2021 from a peak of $1.2 billion. Customers had no pending commercial loan deferment requests as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, total consumer deferments declined to $3.3 million, from a peak of $108.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, total consumer deferments were $6.1 million, or 0.1% of total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans. Excluding loans receivable, PPP from total loans and leases receivable is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers' financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities. Please refer to the following reconciliation schedule.

The Federal Reserve Board had taken a range of actions to support the flow of credit to households and businesses at the outbreak of COVID-19. The Federal Reserve Board established a range of facilities and programs to support the U.S. economy and U.S. marketplace participants in response to economic disruptions associated with COVID-19, including among others, the PPPLF, which was created to bolster the effectiveness of the PPP by taking loans as collateral at face value. Customers participated in some of these facilities and programs, primarily the PPPLF. Customers fully repaid the borrowing from the PPPLF during the three months ended September 30, 2021. No new advances are available from the PPPLF after July 30, 2021. The U.S. economy has since strengthened despite the spread of COVID-19 variants, with higher inflation and housing values. In response, the Federal Reserve Board has begun normalizing monetary policy with its decision in late 2021 to taper its quantitative easing and raising the federal funds rate in March 2022.

Significant uncertainties as to future economic conditions continue to exist, including inflation, global supply chain issues, and higher oil and commodity prices exacerbated by the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Customers has taken deliberate actions in response, including maintaining higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity, reserves for credit losses on loans and leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures and strong capital ratios. Customers has also shifted the mix of its loan portfolio towards commercial loans with floating or adjustable interest rates and increased its non-interest bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits to position the Bank for future interest rate hikes. Customers continues to monitor closely the impact of COVID-19 and its variants, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and macroeconomic uncertainties, as well as any effects that may result from the federal government's responses including future rate hikes; however, the extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the geopolitical conflict and macroeconomic factors will impact Customers' operations and financial results during the remainder of 2022 is highly uncertain.

New Accounting Pronouncements

For information about the impact that recently adopted or issued accounting guidance will have on us, please refer to "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Customers has adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America~~U.S. GAAP and that are consistent with general practices within the banking industry in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Customers' significant accounting policies are described in ~~“NOTE 4 -~~"NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF ~~PRESENTATION”~~PRESENTATION" in Customers' audited consolidated financial statements included in its ~~2016~~2021 Form 10-K and updated in this ~~report on~~ Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended ~~September 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2022 in "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" in Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Certain accounting policies may involve significant judgments and assumptions by Customers that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain ~~assets and liabilities.~~assets. Customers considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The ~~judgment~~judgments and assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions management makes, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of Customers' ~~assets~~assets.

Table of Contents

The critical accounting policy that is both important to the portrayal of Customers' financial condition and ~~liabilities~~results of operations and requires complex, subjective judgments is the ACL. This critical accounting policy and material estimate, along with the related disclosures, are reviewed by Customers' Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Customers' ACL at March 31, 2022 represents Customers' current estimate of the lifetime credit losses expected from its loan and lease portfolio and its unfunded lending-related commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. Management estimates the ACL by projecting a lifetime loss rate conditional on a forecast of economic parameters and other qualitative adjustments, for the loans and leases' expected remaining term.

Customers uses external sources in the creation of its forecasts, including current economic conditions and forecasts for macroeconomic variables over its reasonable and supportable forecast period (e.g., GDP growth rate, unemployment rate, BBB spread, commercial real estate and home price index). After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, which ranges from two to five years, the models revert the forecasted macroeconomic variables to their historical long-term trends, without specific predictions for the economy, over the expected life of the pool, while also incorporating prepayment assumptions into its lifetime loss rates. Internal factors that impact the quarterly allowance estimate include the level of outstanding balances, portfolio performance and assigned risk ratings. Significant loan/borrower attributes utilized in the models include property type, initial loan to value, assigned risk ratings, delinquency status, origination date, maturity date, initial FICO scores, and borrower industry and state.

The ACL may be affected materially by a variety of qualitative factors that Customers considers to reflect its current judgement of various events and risks that are not measured in our statistical procedures, including uncertainty related to the economic forecasts used in the modelled credit loss estimates, nature and volume of loan and lease portfolio, credit underwriting policy exceptions, peer comparison, industry data, and model and data limitations. The qualitative allowance for economic forecast risk is further informed by multiple alternative scenarios, as deemed applicable, to arrive at a scenario or a composite of scenarios supporting the period-end ACL balance. The evaluation process is inherently imprecise and subjective as it requires significant management judgment based on underlying factors that are susceptible to changes, sometimes materially and rapidly. Customers recognizes that this approach may not be suitable in certain economic environments such that additional analysis may be performed at management's discretion. Due in part to its subjectivity, the qualitative evaluation may be materially impacted during periods of economic uncertainty and late breaking events that could lead to revision of reserves to reflect management's best estimate of expected credit losses.

The ACL is established in accordance with our ACL policy. The ACL Committee, which includes the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Lending Officer, and Chief Credit Officer, among others, reviews the adequacy of the ACL each quarter, together with Customers' risk management team. The ACL policy, significant judgements and the related disclosures are reviewed by Customers' Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The net increase in our estimated ACL as of March 31, 2022 as compared to our December 31, 2021 estimate was primarily attributable to the loan growth in the loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family and commercial and industrial loans. There was a $15.3 million provision for credit losses on loans and leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022, resulting in an ACL ending balance of $147.8 million ($145.8 million for loans and leases and $2.0 million for unfunded lending-related commitments) as of March 31, 2022.

To determine the ACL as of March 31, 2022, Customers utilized Moody's March 2022 Baseline forecast to generate its modelled expected losses by loan portfolio in order to reflect management's reasonable expectations of current and future economic conditions. The Baseline forecast at March 2022 assumed decelerating growth in macroeconomic forecasts compared to the fourth quarter 2021 forecasts of macroeconomic conditions used by Customers; the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the U.S. economy would be marginal and the disruptions to oil, natural gas and other commodity markets will be limited and temporary; the COVID-19 pandemic slowly receding and becoming less disruptive to global supply chains, tourism and business travel, immigration and labor markets; the Federal Reserve Board raising the target range for the fed funds rate four times by 25 basis points each time in 2022; and the U.S. economy achieving full-employment with a 3.5% unemployment rate in late 2022 or early 2023. Customers continues to monitor the impact of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and related policy measures on the U.S. economy and, if pace of the expected recovery is worse than expected, further meaningful provisions for credit losses could be required.

As of December 31, 2021, the ACL ending balance was $139.9 million ($137.8 million for loans and leases and $2.1 million for unfunded lending-related commitments). To determine the ACL as of December 31, 2021, Customers utilized the Moody's December 2021 Baseline forecast to generate its modelled expected losses by loan portfolio in order to reflect management's reasonable expectations of current and future economic conditions. The Baseline forecast at December 31, 2021 assumed continued improvement in forecasts of macroeconomic conditions compared to the forecasts of macroeconomic conditions used by Customers in 2020; the Federal Reserve Board has accelerated its tapering process in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first rate hike is assumed to occur in 2022; a

continuing U.S. economic recovery from federal spending and abatement of the COVID-19 pandemic, notwithstanding the impact of the Omicron variant; and the acceleration in consumer prices is expected to peak and moderate in the near-term as the supply chain issues subside.

One of the most significant judgments influencing the ACL is the macroeconomic forecasts from Moody's. Changes in the economic forecasts could significantly affect the estimated credit losses which could potentially lead to materially different allowance levels from one reporting period to the next. Given the dynamic relationship between macroeconomic variables within Customers' modelling framework, it is difficult to estimate the impact of a change in any one individual variable on the ACL. However, to illustrate a hypothetical sensitivity analysis, management calculated a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to an adverse scenario. This scenario includes assumptions around the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine worsening significantly and persisting longer, causing oil prices to rise more sharply than the Baseline projections, new infections, hospitalizations and COVID-19 deaths rising significantly again as compared to the Baseline projections, slowing growth in consumer spending on air travel, retail and hotels, worsening supply chain issues boosting inflation, rising unemployment and the U.S. economy falling into recession. Under this scenario, as an example, the unemployment rate is estimated at 5.8% and 7.6% at the end of 2022 and 2023, respectively. These numbers represent a 2.2% and 4.2% higher unemployment estimate than Baseline scenario projections of 3.6% and 3.4%, respectively for the same time periods. To demonstrate the sensitivity to key economic parameters, management calculated the difference between a 100% Baseline weighting and a 100% adverse scenario weighting for modelled results. This would result in an incremental quantitative impact to the ACL of approximately $37.2 million at March 31, 2022. This resulting difference is not intended to represent an expected increase in ACL levels since (i) Customers may use a weighted approach applied to multiple economic scenarios for its ACL process, (ii) the highly uncertain economic environment, (iii) the difficulty in predicting inter-relationships between macroeconomic variables used in various economic scenarios, and (iv) the sensitivity analysis does not account for any qualitative adjustments incorporated by Customers as part of its overall ACL framework.

There is no certainty that Customers' ACL will be appropriate over time to cover losses in our portfolio as economic and market conditions may ultimately differ from our reasonable and supportable forecast. Additionally, events adversely affecting specific customers, industries, or Customers' markets, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, could severely impact our current expectations. If the credit quality of Customers' customer base materially deteriorates or the risk profile of a market, industry, or group of customers changes materially, Customers' net income and capital could be materially adversely affected which, in turn could have a material adverse effect on Customers' financial condition and results of operations. The extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue to negatively impact Customers' businesses, financial condition, liquidity and results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be forecasted with precision at this time.

Net income available to common shareholders	$	74,896	$	33,204	$	41,692	125.6	%

Customers reported net income available to common shareholders of $4.1 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted common share for third quarter 2017. The reported results were impacted by several notable charges in third quarter 2017. First, Customers' previously-announced strategic decision to spin-off its BankMobile business directly to Customers’ shareholders, to be followed by a merger of BankMobile into Flagship Community Bank rather than sell the business directly to a third party resulted in including BankMobile segment results as part of the continuing Customers’ business rather than as discontinued operations. The reclassification as part of the continuing business resulted in the capture of depreciation and amortization expense not recognized during the period the related assets were classified as held for sale ($4.2 million pre-tax, or $0.08 per diluted share). In addition, Customers' decision to spin-off and then merge the BankMobile business eliminated Customers’ tax strategy to offset capital losses on disposition of the Religare common stock with capital gains from the sale of BankMobile. Customers’ decision to pursue the spin-off and merger reduced earnings by $7.7 million after tax ($0.24 per diluted share) in the third quarter due to the reversal of $4.6 million of previously recognized deferred tax assets, and inability to recognize deferred tax benefits of $3.1 million for the third quarter 2017 impairment charge of $8.3 million ($0.16 per diluted share), equal to the third quarter 2017 decrease in market value of Customers’ investment in Religare.

Asset quality remained exceptional with non-performing loans of $29.8 million, or 0.33% of total loans, and total non-performing assets (non-performing loans and other real estate owned) only 0.30% of total assets at September 30, 2017, reflecting Customers' conservative lending practices and continued focus on credit risk management. Customers' level of non-performing loans at September 30, 2017 remained well below industry average non-performing loans of 1.42% and Customers' peer group non-performing loans of 0.88%. Customers' capital ratios at the holding company and its bank subsidiary continue to exceed the “well-capitalized” threshold established by regulation at the Bank and exceed the applicable Basel III regulatory threshold ratios for the Bancorp and the Bank at September 30, 2017. Customers Bancorp's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.36%, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 12.40% at September 30, 2017.

Customers ended the quarter with $10.5 billion in total assets, stable asset quality trends, and stronger capital. Customers expects to strategically reduce assets below $10 billion as of December 31, 2017 to eliminate the risk of not receiving full interchange fees by qualifying for the small issuer exemption under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd Frank legislation.

~~Results of Operations~~

~~Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

~~Net income available to common shareholders decreased $14.5 million, or 77.8%, to $4.1~~$74.9 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 when~~March 31, 2022 compared to net income available to common shareholders of ~~$18.7~~$33.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Factors contributing to the change in net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 were as follows.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased $32.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 as average interest-earning assets increased by $628.4 million, and NIM increased by 60 basis points to 3.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 3.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in interest-earning assets was driven by increases in investment securities, commercial and industrial loans and leases and installment loans, offset in part by decreases in PPP loans due to PPP loan forgiveness and commercial loans to mortgage companies. The shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and PPP loan forgiveness, which accelerated the recognition of net deferred loan origination fees, drove a 36 basis points increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and contributed to the NIM increase. The NIM also increased from equity investment distributions, which are included in other interest income. The shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities in a lower interest rate environment drove a 20 basis points decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The largest shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was $2.2 billion ($2.6 billion average balance) of PPP loans yielding 5.66% and $5.6 billion ($5.8 billion average balance) of interest-bearing demand deposits costing 0.54%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits was $4.6 billion ($4.9 billion average balance). PPPLF borrowings costing 0.35% were fully repaid during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Customers' total cost of funds, including non-interest bearing deposits was 0.43% and 0.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Provision (benefit) for credit losses

The $18.9 million increase in the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily reflects the loan growth in the loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family and commercial and industrial loans. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is presented within accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and the related provision is presented as part of other non-interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The ACL on loans and leases held for investment represented 1.44% of total loans and leases receivable, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP measure, please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation within Loans and Leases - Credit Risk), at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.71% at March 31, 2021. Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $7.2 million, or 21 basis points of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $12.5 million, or 33 basis points on an annualized basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily due to lower charge-offs for consumer installment loans.

Table of Contents

The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 also includes a provision for credit losses of $0.7 million on certain asset-backed securities included in our investment securities. See "NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Non-interest income

The $2.7 million increase in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from a decrease of $24.5 million in loss on cash flow hedge derivative terminations, and increases of $6.6 million in bank-owned life insurance income, $1.1 million in loan fees and $0.7 million in commercial lease income. These increases were offset in part by decreases of $24.6 million in gain (loss) on sale of investment securities, $2.2 million in mortgage warehouse transactional fees, $1.6 million in unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives, $1.3 million in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities, $0.5 million in other non-interest income and $0.1 million in gain (loss) on sale of SBA and other loans.

Non-interest expense

The $11.9 million increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from increases of $4.1 million in technology, communication and bank operations, $2.6 million in salaries and employee benefits, $1.9 million in loan servicing, $1.8 million in other non-interest expense, $1.1 million in professional services and $0.7 million in commercial lease depreciation. These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $0.4 million in merger and acquisition related expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Income tax expense

Customers' effective tax rate from continuing operations was 20.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 19.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from reduced investment tax credits for 2022 and a benefit for the recording of net discrete tax benefits associated with the divestiture of BMT and the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the outside basis difference of foreign subsidiaries included in 2021, offset in part by excess tax benefits on vesting of restricted stock units and death benefits from bank-owned life insurance policies for 2022.

Net loss from discontinued operations

On January 4, 2021, Customers Bancorp completed the divestiture of BMT, the technology arm of its BankMobile segment, to MFAC Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MFAC. Following the completion of the divestiture of BMT, BankMobile's serviced deposits and loans and the related net interest income have been combined with Customers' financial condition and the results of operations as a single reportable segment.

BMT's operating results and associated cash flows have been presented as "Discontinued operations" within the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Customers had no loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as the divestiture of BMT was completed on January 4, 2021. The $38.0 million decrease was primarily related to restricted stock awards of BM Technologies' common stock granted to certain team members of BMT and the effect of the divestiture being treated as a taxable asset sale for tax purposes, offset in part by a tax benefit related to the restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2021. See "NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Preferred stock dividends

Preferred stock dividends were $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On September 15, 2021, Customers redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock for an aggregate payment of $82.5 million, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share. The redemption price paid in excess of the carrying value of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock of $2.8 million was included as a loss on redemption of preferred stock in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, ~~2016. The decreased net income available~~2021. After giving effect to ~~common shareholders primarily resulted from certain notable third quarter 2017 charges totaling $15.6 million including:~~

~~Change in BankMobile disposition strategy ($10.4 million after tax). As further described under~~ the ~~"Third Quarter Events of Note" above, Customers' reclassification of BankMobile as part~~redemption, no shares of the ~~continuing business resulted in~~Series C and Series D Preferred Stock remained outstanding. There were no changes to the capture of depreciation and amortization expense not recognized during the period the related assets were classified as held for sale ($4.2 million pre-tax and $2.6 million after tax). In addition, Customers' decision to spin-off and then merge the BankMobile business eliminated Customers’ tax strategy to offset capital losses on disposition of the Religare common stock with capital gains from the sale of BankMobile, reducing earnings by $7.7 million after tax in third quarter 2017.

Religare investment impairment charge of $8.3 million ($5.2 million after tax). Customers recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $8.3 million for three months ended September 30, 2017 for the full amount of ~~the decline in fair value of the Religare investment below the cost basis established at June 30, 2017.~~

Other contributors to the decrease in net income available to common shareholders included an increase in the provision for loan losses of $2.3 million, primarily as a result of growth in the loan portfolio and provisions on impaired loans, and increases in non-interest expenses of $4.8 million, primarily driven by increases in salaries and employee benefits and technology-related expenses, including core process system and conversion costs and noncapitalizable software development costs. These increases were offset in part by increased gains on sale of investment securities of $5.4 million and an increase in net interest income of $3.4 million.

~~Net interest income of $68.0 million increased $3.4 million, or 5.3%, for~~preferred stock outstanding during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 when~~March 31, 2022 and 2021.

On March 15, 2021, the Series D Preferred Stock became floating at three-month LIBOR plus 5.09%, compared to ~~net interest income~~a fixed rate of ~~$64.6 million for~~6.50%. On June 15, 2021, the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $1.2 billion for third quarter 2017, offset in part by a 21 basis point decline in net interest margin (tax-equivalent) to 2.62% for third quarter 2017 from 2.83% for third quarter 2016.

~~The provision for loan losses of $2.4 million increased $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when~~Series E Preferred Stock became floating at three-month LIBOR plus 5.14%, compared to a fixed rate of 6.45%. On December 15, 2021, the provision for loan losses of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The third quarter 2017 provision expense included provisions of $1.4 million for loan portfolio growth and reserves of $0.8 million for impaired loans.

~~Non-interest income of $18.0 million decreased $9.5 million, or 34.4%~~Series F Preferred Stock became floating at three-month LIBOR plus 4.762%, ~~for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when~~ compared to ~~non-interest income~~a fixed rate of $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily the result of an $8.3 million other-than-temporary impairment loss related to the Religare investment, decreases in other non-interest income of $2.4 million, due to a $2.2 million recovery of a previously recorded loss in third quarter 2016, decreases in interchange and card revenue and deposit fees of $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, driven by lower business volumes in BankMobile Disbursements. These decreases were offset in part by increased gains on sales of investment securities of $5.4 million.6.00%.

Non-interest expense of $61.0 million increased $4.8 million, or 8.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to non-interest expense of $56.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from increases in salaries and employee benefits of $2.1 million, driven primarily by salary increases as the average number of full-time equivalent employees remained relatively consistent over the past year, and increases in technology, communications and bank operations and other expenses of $1.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively, driven by technology enhancements and the capture of depreciation and amortization expenses related to BankMobile due to the reclassification of BankMobile as held and used as of September 30, 2017.

Income tax expense of $14.9 million increased $0.3 million, or 2.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to income tax expense of $14.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in income tax expense was driven primarily by the elimination of deferred tax benefits from other-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities totaling $7.7 million, offset in part by a decrease in pre-tax income of $13.1 million in third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016.

~~Preferred stock dividends of $3.6 million~~ increased $1.1 million, or 41.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to preferred stock dividends of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was the result of preferred stock issuances aggregating $85.0 million in September 2016 with dividends at 6.00%.

~~Net Interest Income~~NET INTEREST INCOME

(6)Non-GAAP tax-equivalent basis, as described in note (5) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, excluding net interest income from PPP loans and related borrowings, along with the related PPP loan balances and PPP fees receivable from interest-earning assets. Management uses non-GAAP measures to present historical periods comparable to the current period presentation. In addition, management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers’ financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities.

(7)Not Meaningful. Average yield on other interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 44.18% primarily due to $5.2 million of equity investment distributions.

Net interest income increased $32.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 as average interest-earning assets increased by $628.4 million, primarily related to increases in investment securities, commercial and industrial loans and installment loans, partially offset by decreases in PPP loans due to PPP loan forgiveness and commercial loans to mortgage companies. The commercial loans to mortgage companies trend has been a function of greater refinance activity due to sharply lower interest rates, an increase in home purchase volumes and market share gains from other banks since early 2020. The refinancing activity has slowed since reaching its high level in early 2021 with rising interest rates.

The NIM increased by 60 basis points to 3.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 3.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulting primarily from the PPP loan forgiveness, as well as a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in a lower interest rate environment. The shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and PPP loan forgiveness, which accelerated the recognition of net deferred loan origination fees, drove a 36 basis points increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and contributed to the NIM increase. The NIM also increased from equity investment distributions, which are included in other interest income. The shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities in a lower interest rate environment drove a 20 basis points decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The largest shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was $2.2 billion ($2.6 billion average balance) of PPP loans yielding 5.66% and $5.6 billion ($5.8 billion average balance) of interest-bearing demand deposits costing 0.54%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits was $4.6 billion ($4.9 billion average balance). PPPLF borrowings costing 0.35% were fully repaid during the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021. Customers' total cost of funds, including non-interest bearing deposits was ~~$68.0 million,~~0.43% and 0.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Customers' net interest margin tables contain non-GAAP financial measures calculated using non-GAAP amounts. These measures include net interest margin tax equivalent and net interest margin tax equivalent, excluding PPP loans. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the current period presentation to historical periods in prior filings. In addition, management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers' financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities.

PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision (benefit) for credit losses is a charge (credit) to earnings to maintain the ACL at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected lifetime losses in the loan and lease portfolio at the balance sheet date. Customers recorded a provision for credit losses on loans and leases during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which resulted primarily from an increase in provision for the growth in loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family and commercial and industrial loans. Customers recorded a provision for credit losses on loans and leases of ~~$3.4~~$15.3 million ~~or 5.3%, from net interest income~~and a credit to provision for credit losses (a benefit) on lending-related commitments of ~~$64.6~~$0.1 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016, as average loan~~March 31, 2022. Customers recorded a credit to provision for credit losses (a benefit) of $2.9 million and ~~security balances increased $1.2 billion. Net interest margin (tax equivalent) narrowed by 21 basis points to 2.62%~~$1.3 million for third quarter 2017 compared to 2.83% for third quarter 2016. The net interest margin (tax equivalent) compression largely resulted from a $1.4 million reduction in prepayment penalties in the multi-family portfolio. Net interest margin (tax equivalent) was also impacted by Customers Bancorp's issuance of $100 million principal amount of 3.95% senior notes on June 30, 2017loans and ~~a one-time interest expense adjustment of approximately $0.3 million.~~

Interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits increased $5.4 million in third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016. The increase was mainly driven by the average rate on interest-bearing deposits, which increased 34 basis points for third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016, reflecting higher interest rates offered by Customers on its money market deposit accountsleases and certificates of deposits in order to remain competitive and attract new and retain existing deposit customers. Deposit volumes remained relatively stable, as average interest-bearing deposits increased $30.2 millionlending-related commitments, respectively, for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017 compared to average interest-bearing deposits~~March 31, 2021. Net charge-offs for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~

~~Interest expense~~March 31, 2022 were $7.2 million, or 21 basis points of average loans and leases on ~~borrowings increased $5.3 million in third quarter 2017~~an annualized basis, compared to ~~third quarter 2016. This increase was primarily driven by a higher average rate on borrowings, which increased 30~~net charge-offs of $12.5 million, or 33 basis points of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, for ~~third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016, primarily as a result of an increase~~three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in ~~the borrowing rate for short term advances, including FHLB advances and federal funds purchased, and an increase in the outstanding balance of senior note borrowings.~~

~~Provision for Loan Losses~~

~~The provision for loan losses of $2.4 million increased by $2.3 million~~net charge-offs for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2022, compared to ~~$0.1 million~~the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily due to lower charge-offs for ~~the same period in 2016. The provision for loan losses of $2.4 million in third quarter 2017 included provisions of $1.4 million for loan portfolio growth and reserves of $0.8 million for impaired~~consumer installment loans. ~~In third quarter 2016, the provision for loan losses of $0.1 million was the result of minimal loan growth during the quarter, as planned, as well as exceptional asset quality.~~

For more information about the provision and ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL and our loss experience on loans and leases, see “Credit Risk” and “Asset Quality” herein.

~~Non-Interest Income~~The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 also included a provision for credit losses of $0.7 million on certain asset-backed securities included in our investment securities.

Bank-owned life insurance

Bank-owned life insurance income represents income earned on life insurance policies owned by Customers including an increase in cash surrender value of the policies and any benefits paid by insurance carriers under the policies. The $6.6 million increase in bank-owned life insurance income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to ~~an $8.3 million other-than-temporary-impairment loss on equity securities, a decrease~~the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted from the increase in ~~other non-interest income~~cash surrender value of ~~$2.4 million due to a~~the policies and death benefits paid by insurance carriers under the policies.

Table of Contents

Mortgage warehouse transactional fees

The $2.2 million recovery of a previously recorded loss in third quarter 2016, decreases in interchange and card revenue and deposit fees of $2.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, driven by lower business volumes in BankMobile Disbursements, and a decrease in mortgage warehouse transactional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from a lower refinancing activity due to higher interest rates. There can be no assurance that Customers will earn mortgage warehouse transactional fees in 2022 comparable to 2021, given the lower refinancing activity in a higher interest rate environment.

Gain (loss) on sale of ~~$0.7~~SBA and other loans

The $0.1 million ~~driven by~~decrease in gain on sale of SBA and other loans for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects a ~~reduction~~decrease in sales of SBA loans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. There can be no assurance that Customers will realize gains on the sale of loans in 2022 comparable to 2021, given the significant uncertainty in the ~~volume~~capital markets.

Loan fees

The $1.1 million increase in loan fees for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from an increase in fees earned on unused lines of ~~warehouse transactions. These decreases were offset~~credit and other fees from commercial borrowers.

Gain (loss) on sale of investment securities

The $24.6 million decrease in ~~part by increases~~gain on sale of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects the net losses realized from the sale of $156.0 million in AFS debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the net gains realized from the sale of $353.9 million in AFS debt securities during the three months ended March 31, 2021. There can be no assurance that Customers will realize gains on the sale of investment securities in 2022 comparable to 2021, given the significant uncertainty in the capital markets and fluctuations in our funding needs, which may impact Customers’ investment strategy.

Unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities

The $1.3 million decrease in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily reflects a decrease in the unrealized gain of ~~$5.4~~equity securities issued by a foreign entity that were held by CB Green Ventures Pte Ltd. and CUBI India Ventures Pte Ltd. Customers sold all outstanding shares in CB Green Ventures Pte Ltd. and CUBI India Ventures Pte Ltd. in June 2021.

Unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives

The $1.6 million decrease in unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from decreases of $0.7 million in credit valuation adjustment and credit derivatives due to changes in market interest rates and $0.8 million in interest rate swap fees.

Loss on cash flow hedge derivative terminations

The $24.5 million decrease in loss on cash flow hedge derivative terminations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to three months ended March 31, 2021 reflects the early terminations of derivatives designated in cash flow hedging relationships and reclassification of the realized losses from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2021 because the hedged forecasted transactions were no longer probable of occurring.

Other non-interest income

The $0.5 million decrease in other non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from ~~bank-owned life insurance policies~~a decrease in SERP income due to changes in capital markets.

Salaries and employee benefits

The $2.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from an increase in average full-time equivalent team members needed for future growth, annual merit increases and an increase in incentive accruals tied to Customers' overall performance.

Technology, communication, and bank operations

The $4.1 million increase in technology, communication, and bank operations expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from increases in deposit servicing fees from higher deposits, that were paid to BM Technologies, the successor entity to BMT that was divested on January 4, 2021.

Customers incurred expenses of $17.8 million and $13.7 million to BM Technologies under the deposit servicing agreement, included within the technology, communication and bank operations expense in the income from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The deposit service agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022 and will not be renewed. As of March 31, 2022, Customers held $2.2 billion of deposits serviced by BM Technologies, which are expected to leave Customers Bank by December 31, 2022. See "NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Professional services

The $1.1 million increase in professional services for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to outside professional services used to support the PPP forgiveness process.

Commercial lease depreciation

The $0.7 million increase in commercial lease depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from the continued growth of the operating lease arrangements originated by Customers' Equipment Finance Group in which Customers is the lessor.

Loan servicing

The $1.9 million increase in loan servicing for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from servicing fees paid to third party servicers associated with the participation in the latest round of PPP, the PPP forgiveness process, and the growth in consumer installment loans.

Other non-interest expense

The $1.8 million increase in other non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily resulted from a decrease in credit or release of the reserve for unfunded commitment. A credit or release of the reserve for unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was ~~$61.0~~$0.1 million, compared to a credit or release of the reserve for unfunded commitments of $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

INCOME TAXES

The table below presents income tax expense from continuing operations and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2022			2021			Change		% Change

Income tax expense	19,332			17,560			1,772		10.1	%
Effective tax rate	20.12		%	19.05		%

The $1.8 million increase in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulted from an increase in projected pre-tax income for 2022. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, when compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulted from reduced investment tax credits for 2022 and a benefit for the recording of net discrete tax benefits associated with the divestiture of BMT and the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the outside basis difference of foreign subsidiaries included in 2021, offset in part by excess tax benefits on vesting of restricted stock units and death benefits from bank-owned life insurance policies for 2022.

NET LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 4, 2021, Customers Bancorp completed the divestiture of BMT, the technology arm of its BankMobile segment, to MFAC Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MFAC. Following the completion of the divestiture of BMT, BankMobile's serviced deposits and loans and the related net interest income have been combined with Customers' financial condition and the results of operations as a single reportable segment.

The table below presents the loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Table of Contents

In connection with the divestiture, Customers entered into various agreements with BM Technologies, including a transition services agreement, software license agreement, deposit servicing agreement, non-competition agreement and loan agreement for periods ranging from one to ten years. Customers incurred expenses of $17.8 million and $13.7 million to BM Technologies under the deposit servicing agreement included in technology, communication and bank operations within the income from continuing operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The deposit service agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022 and will not be renewed. As of March 31, 2022, Customers held $2.2 billion of deposits serviced by BM Technologies, which are expected to leave Customers Bank by December 31, 2022. The loan agreement with BM Technologies was terminated early in November 2021. The transition services agreement with BM Technologies, as amended, expired on March 31, 2022. Refer to "NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

Preferred stock dividends were $1.9 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On September 15, 2021, Customers redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock for an aggregate payment of $82.5 million, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share. The redemption price paid in excess of the carrying value of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock of $2.8 million was included as a loss on redemption of preferred stock in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017, an increase~~2021. After giving effect to the redemption, no shares of ~~$4.8 million from non-interest expense~~the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock remained outstanding. There were no changes to the amount of ~~$56.2 million for~~preferred stock outstanding during the three months ended ~~September 30, 2016.~~March 31, 2022 and 2021. Refer to "NOTE 11 – SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

~~Salaries and employee benefits, which represent~~On March 15, 2021, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased $2.1 million, or 9.4%, to $24.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in salaries as the average number of full-time equivalent employees remained relatively consistent over the past year.

Technology, communication and bank operations expenses increased by $1.9 million, or 15.0%, to $14.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to increased core processing system expenses and non-capitalizable software development costs of $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as well as the recapture of $3.2 million of depreciation expense in third quarter 2017 related to BankMobile for the period it was classified as held for sale. These increases were offset in part by a $3.9 million one-time expense in third quarter 2016 for technology-related services.

~~Income Taxes~~

Income tax expense increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $14.9 million, compared to $14.6 million in the same period of 2016. This increase was driven primarily by the elimination of deferred tax benefits from other-than-temporary impairment losses on investment securities totaling $7.7 million, offset in part by a decrease in pre-tax income of $13.1 million in third quarter 2017 compared to third quarter 2016.

Series D Preferred Stock ~~Dividends~~

Preferred stock dividends of $3.6 million increased $1.1 million, or 41.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to preferred stock dividends of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was the result of preferred stock issuances totaling $85.0 million issued in September 2016 with dividendsbecame floating at ~~6.00%.~~

~~Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016~~

~~Net income available to common shareholders decreased $6.6 million, or 12.5%~~three-month LIBOR plus 5.09%, to $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to net income available to common shareholders of $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decreased net income available to common shareholders primarily resulted from an increase in non-interest expense of $32.5 million, an increase in preferred stock dividends of $4.9 million, and an increase in provision for loan losses of $3.1 million. These increases were offset in part by an increase in net interest income of $13.7 million, largely reflecting the growth in interest earning assets over the past twelve months, an increase in non-interest income of $17.9 million largely as a result of a full nine months of BankMobile Disbursements operations, and a decrease in income tax expense of $2.3 million.

Net interest income increased $13.7 million, or 7.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $199.0 million when compared to net interest income of $185.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase resulted principally from an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $1.1 billion offset in part by a 13 basis point decrease in the net interest margin (tax equivalent) to 2.71% for the first nine months of 2017 when compared to the first nine months of 2016.

The provision for loan losses increased $3.1 million to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared to the provision for loan losses of $2.9 million for the same period in 2016. The provision for loan losses of $5.9 million included $2.3 million for loan portfolio growth and $3.9 million for impaired loans, offset in part by a $0.8 million release resulting from improved asset quality and lower incurred losses than previously estimated.

Non-interest income increased $17.9 million, or 43.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $59.2 million when compared to $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in interchange and card revenue of $17.9 million reflecting a full nine months of BankMobile Disbursements operations, an increase in gains on sales of investment securities of $8.5 million, an increase in deposit fees of $2.7 million, and increased bank-owned life insurance income of $1.7 million, offset in part by other-than-temporary impairment losses of $12.9 million related to the decline in market value of the Religare investment and a decrease in mortgage warehouse transactional fees of $1.6 million.

Non-interest expense increased $32.5 million, or 25.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $160.8 million when compared to non-interest expense of $128.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase primarily resulted from increased BankMobile expenses of $38.9 million due to the acquisition of the Disbursements business in June 2016 compared to a ~~full nine months~~fixed rate of BankMobile Disbursements operations in 2017, offset in part by decreased FDIC assessments, taxes, and regulatory fees of $4.6 million and a one-time expense of $3.9 million in third quarter 2016 for technology-related services. The increased BankMobile expenses, largely6.50%. On June 15, 2021, the result of a full nine months of BankMobile Disbursements operations in 2017 and only three months in 2016, included $10.5 million of increased salaries and employee benefits, $17.0 million of increased technology, communications, and bank operations, $6.4 million of increased professional services, and $5.5 million of increased other operating expenses. Excluding the effect of BankMobile, non-interest expense decreased $6.3 million period over period as management continued its efforts to control expenses.

~~Income tax expense decreased $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $34.2 million when~~Series E Preferred Stock became floating at three-month LIBOR plus 5.14%, compared to ~~income tax expense~~a fixed rate of ~~$36.6 million for~~6.45%. On December 15, 2021, the same period of 2016. The decrease in income tax expense was driven primarily by a decrease in pre-tax income of $4.0 million in the first nine months of 2017 as well as the $4.6 million of tax benefits recognized for the increase in fair value of restricted stock units vesting and the exercise of stock options since the award dateSeries F Preferred Stock became floating at three-month LIBOR plus 4.762%, compared to ~~$0.6 million for the the same period in 2016. Customers' effective tax~~a fixed rate ~~decreased to 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 38.3% for the same period~~ of ~~2016.~~

Preferred stock dividends increased $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $10.8 million when compared to preferred stock dividends of $5.9 million in the same period of 2016. This increase was the result of preferred stock issuances totaling $142.5 million issued in April 2016 with dividends at 6.45% and in September 2016 with dividends at 6.00%.

~~Net Interest Income~~

Net interest income (the difference between the interest earned on loans, investments and interest-earning deposits with banks, and interest paid on deposits, borrowed funds and subordinated debt) is the primary source of Customers' earnings.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $199.0 million, an increase of $13.7 million, or 7.4%, when compared to net interest income of $185.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by increased average loan and security balances of $1.0 billion.

Net interest margin (tax equivalent) narrowed by 13 basis points to 2.71% from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The net interest margin compression largely resulted from a $1.6 million reduction in prepayment penalties in the multi-family portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net interest margin (tax equivalent) was also impacted by Customers Bancorp's issuance of $100 million principal amount of 3.95% senior notes on June 30, 2017.

Interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits increased $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase primarily resulted from increased deposit volume as average interest-bearing deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $417.1 million when compared to average interest-bearing deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased 26 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30,

2016, reflecting higher interest rates offered by Customers on its money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposits in order to remain competitive and attract new and retain existing deposit customers.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was driven by a 47 basis point increase in average rates for the period due primarily to higher rates on short term borrowings used to fund commercial loans to mortgage companies. This increase was also driven by increased volume as average borrowings increased by $143.2 million when compared to average borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

~~Provision for Loan Losses~~

The provision for loan losses increased by $3.1 million to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2016. The provision for loan losses of $5.9 million included $2.3 million for loan portfolio growth and $3.9 million for impaired loans, offset in part by a $0.8 million release resulting from improved asset quality and lower incurred losses than previously estimated. The provision for loan losses of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included provisions for loan portfolio growth and reserves on impaired loans of approximately $5.0 million, offset in part by increased estimated cash flows expected to be collected on purchased credit-impaired loans, a reduction in the estimated amounts owed to the FDIC for previous FDIC assisted transactions, and other recoveries of approximately $2.1 million.

Non-interest income increased $17.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $59.2 million, compared to $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to a $17.9 million increase in interchange and card revenues reflecting a full nine months of BankMobile Disbursements business activity in 2017 compared to three full months in 2016, an $8.5 million increase in gains on sale of investment securities, an increase in deposit fees of $2.7 million, and increased income from bank-owned life insurance policies of $1.7 million, offset in part by a $12.9 million other-than-temporary-impairment loss on equity securities and a decrease in mortgage warehouse transactional fees of $1.6 million driven by a reduction in the volume of warehouse transactions.

Non-interest expense was $160.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $32.5 million from non-interest expense of $128.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Salaries and employee benefits, which represent the largest component of non-interest expense, increased $11.5 million, or 19.8%, to $69.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting salary increases as well as a higher average number of full-time equivalent employees, primarily resulting from a full year of BankMobile Disbursements operations.

Technology, communication and bank operations increased by $14.2 million, or 74.7%, to $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $19.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in core processing system and conversion expenses of $9.0 million, interchange expenses of $4.7 million, non-capitalizable software development costs of $3.4 million, and depreciation expense primarily driven by the $3.2 catch-up adjustment recorded in third quarter 2017 for the period BankMobile was classified as held for sale. These increases were partially offset by a $3.9 million one-time expense in third quarter 2016 for technology-related services. The increased technology, communication, and bank operations expenses reflected a full nine months of BankMobile Disbursements activity in 2017 compared to three full months of activity for 2016.

Professional services expense increased by $7.9 million, or 60.0%, to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by the transitional services agreement which was in effect for the twelve months following the acquisition of the Disbursement business from Higher One and ended in second quarter 2017 and increases in consulting and other professional services to support a $10.5 billion bank.

FDIC assessments, taxes, and regulatory fees decreased by $4.6 million, or 40.9%, to $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily related to a lower insurance assessment charged by the FDIC as the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund reached a targeted ratio.

Provision for operating losses increased by $3.0 million, or 152.2%, to $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The provision for operating losses represents Customers' estimated liability for losses resulting from fraud or theft-based transactions that have generally been disputed by deposit account holders mainly from its BankMobile Disbursements business but where such disputes have not been resolved as of the end of the reporting period. The reserve is based on historical rates of loss on such transactions. The increase is mainly attributable to the accrual for the estimated liability for a full nine months of operations of the BankMobile Disbursements business in 2017.

~~Income Taxes~~

Income tax expense decreased $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $34.2 million when compared to income tax expense of $36.6 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in income tax expense was driven primarily by a decrease in pre-tax income of $4.0 million in the first nine months of 2017. Customers' effective tax rate decreased to 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 38.3% for the same period of 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by the lower taxable income as well as the $4.6 million of tax benefits recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 for the increase in fair value of restricted stock units vesting and the exercise of stock options since the award date compared to $0.6 million for the the same period in 2016.

~~Preferred Stock Dividends~~

Preferred stock dividends increased $4.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $10.8 million, compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was the result of preferred stock issuances totaling $142.5 million issued in April 2016 with dividends at 6.45% and in September 2016 with dividends at 6.00%.

Financial Condition

General

~~Customers crossed the $10 billion asset threshold during the second quarter of 2017 and continued to exceed $10 billion of~~Customers' total assets were $19.2 billion at ~~September 30, 2017 with total assets of $10.5 billion.~~March 31, 2022. This represented a ~~$1.1 billion, or 11.6%, increase~~$411.3 million decrease from total assets of ~~$9.4~~$19.6 billion at December 31, ~~2016.~~2021. The ~~change in Customers' financial position occurred primarily as the result of an increase~~decrease in total ~~loans outstanding of $0.9 billion since December 31, 2016, or 10.9%,~~assets was primarily driven by ~~growth~~decreases of $1.1 billion in ~~multifamily, commercial~~loans receivable, PPP, $528.6 million in loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value and ~~industrial~~$243.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by increases of $1.1 billion in loans and ~~consumer residential loans. Commercial loans held for~~leases receivable and $352.7 million in investment ~~increased $0.7 billion, or 11.5%, to $6.5~~securities.

Total liabilities were $17.8 billion at ~~September 30, 2017 compared to $5.9~~March 31, 2022. This represented a $422.5 million decrease from $18.2 billion at December 31, ~~2016, and consumer loans held for investment increased $233.2 million to $531.9 million at September 30, 2017 from $298.7 million at December 31, 2016.~~

Given the change in disposition strategy related to BankMobile as of September 30, 2017, Customers has decided to strategically reduce its total assets to below $10 billion as of December 31, 2017 in order to continue to qualify for the small issuer exemption rules of the Durbin Amendment to optimize interchange revenue through June 30, 2019. Customers plans to reduce total assets by approximately $500 million by year-end 2017 through normal seasonality of the mortgage warehouse business, which tends to decline in the winter months, selling multi-family and residential mortgage loans, and selling investment securities as needed. In addition, Customers expects to moderately grow its commercial and industrial loan portfolio while limiting growth in its multi-family loan portfolio by disciplined pricing.

~~Total liabilities were $9.6 billion at September 30, 2017. This represented a $1.0 billion, or 12.1%, increase from $8.5 billion at December 31, 2016.~~2021. The ~~increase~~decrease in total liabilities primarily resulted ~~primarily~~ from decreases of $362.4 million in total deposits and $700.0 million in FHLB ~~borrowings, which increased~~advances, partially offset by ~~$0.6 billion, or 68.3%, to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2017 from $0.9 billion at December 31, 2016, other borrowings, which increased $99.1~~increases of $625.0 million ~~or 113.8%, to $186.3 million at September 30, 2017 from $87.1 million at December 31, 2016 resulting from the issuance of the $100 million senior notes on June 30, 2017, and~~in federal funds purchased ~~which increased $64.0~~and $14.6 million or 77.1%, to $147.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $83.0 million at December 31, 2016. Overall deposits increased $293.3 million, or 4.0%, to $7.6 billion at September 30, 2017 from $7.3 billion at December 31, 2016.

Customers also launched a pilot digital small balance 7(a) lending within its existing SBA Lending business in third quarter 2021.

Management also considers the effect of credit risk on financial performance by reviewing quarterly and maintaining an adequate ~~allowance for loan losses.~~ACL. Credit losses are ~~charged to the allowance for loan losses~~charged-off when they are identified, and provisions are added for current expected credit losses, to the ~~allowance for loan losses when and as appropriate.~~ACL at least quarterly. The ~~adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, maintained at a level to absorb~~ACL is estimated ~~incurred losses in the held-for-investment loan portfolio as of the last day of the reporting period, is evaluated~~ at least quarterly.

The provision for ~~loan~~credit losses on loans and leases was ~~$2.4~~$15.3 million and ~~$0.1~~a benefit of $2.9 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2016, respectively, and $5.9 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,~~2021, respectively.

Excluding loans receivable, PPP from total loans and leases receivable is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers' financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities. Please refer to the reconciliation schedule below.

Net charge-offs were ~~$2.5~~$7.2 million for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2017, an increase~~March 31, 2022, a decrease of ~~$2.2~~$5.3 million compared to the same period in ~~2016.

Installment charge-offs were ~~$4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $4.0 million compared~~attributable to unsecured consumer installment loans originated or purchased through arrangements with fintech companies and other market place lenders. Please refer to the ~~same period in 2016. The increase in net charge-offs period over period was largely driven by the charge-off~~table of ~~$1.6 million and $1.8 million during the third quarter 2017 and second quarter 2017, respectively, related to two relationships in the commercial and industrial post-2009 originated loan portfolio.~~

The ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL is based on a quarterly evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb ~~probable~~expected losses ~~incurred~~ as of the balance sheet date. All commercial loans, with the exception of PPP loans and commercial mortgage warehouse loans, which are reported at fair value, are assigned ~~credit risk~~internal credit-risk ratings, based upon an assessment of the borrower, the structure of the transaction and the available collateral and/or guarantees. All loans and leases are monitored regularly by the responsible officer, and the risk ratings are adjusted when considered appropriate. The risk assessment allows management to identify problem loans and leases timely. Management considers a variety of factors and recognizes the inherent risk of loss that always exists in the lending process. Management uses a disciplined methodology to estimate an appropriate level of ~~allowance for loan losses. See “Asset Quality”~~ACL. Refer to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates herein and "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements, also, refer to "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" to Customers' audited consolidated financial statements in its 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion ofon management's methodology for estimating the ~~allowance for loan losses.~~ACL.

Approximately ~~85%~~51% of ~~the Bank’s~~Customers' commercial real estate, commercial and residential construction, consumer residential and commercial and industrial loan types have real estate as collateral (collectively, “the real estate portfolio”)~~. The Bank’s lien position on the real estate collateral will vary on a loan-by-loan basis and will change as a result of changes~~, primarily in the ~~value~~form of ~~the collateral.~~a first lien position. Current appraisals providing current value estimates of the property are received when ~~the Bank’s~~Customers' credit group determines that the facts and circumstances have significantly changed since the date of the last appraisal, including that real estate values have deteriorated. The credit committee and loan officers review loans that are ~~fifteen~~15 or more days delinquent and all non-accrual loans on a periodic basis. In addition, loans where the loan officers have identified a “borrower of interest” are discussed to determine if additional analysis is necessary to apply the ~~risk rating~~risk-rating criteria properly. The risk ratings for the real estate loan portfolio are determined based upon the current information available, including but not limited to discussions with the borrower, updated financial information, economic conditions within the geographic area and other factors that may affect the cash flow of the loan. If a loan is ~~impaired and~~ individually evaluated for impairment, the collateral value or discounted cash flow ~~or loan market value~~ analysis is generally used to ~~estimate~~determine the ~~amount~~estimated fair value of ~~proceeds expected to be collected, and that estimated amount,~~the underlying collateral, net of estimated selling costs, ~~as applicable, is~~and compared to the outstanding loan balance to ~~estimate~~determine the amount of ~~impairment,~~reserve necessary, if any. Appraisals used in this evaluation process are typically less than two years aged. For loans where real estate is not the primary source of collateral, updated financial information is obtained, including accounts

These impairment measurements are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, including, among others, estimates of property values in appraisals, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on individual loans, and general considerations for historical loss experience, economic conditions, uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in the various credit portfolios, all of which require judgment and may be susceptible to significant change over time and as a result of changing economic conditions or other factors. Pursuant to ASC ~~310-10-35 -~~ ~~Loan Impairment~~ ~~and ASC 310-40 -~~ ~~Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,~~ ~~impaired~~326, individually assessed loans, consisting primarily of ~~loans placed on~~ non-accrual and restructured ~~under troubled debt restructurings~~ loans, ~~or charged-off to their net realizable value,~~ are considered in the methodology for determining the ~~allowance for loan losses. Impaired~~ACL. Individually assessed loans are generally evaluated based on the expected future cash flows ~~if principal is expected to come from the operation of such collateral~~ or the fair value of the underlying collateral (less estimated costs to sell) if principal repayment is expected to come from the operation or sale of such collateral. Shortfalls in the underlying collateral value for loans or leases determined to be collateral dependent are charged off immediately. Subsequent to an appraisal or other fair value estimate, management will assess whether there was a further decline in the value of the collateral based on changes in market conditions or property use that would require additional impairment to be recorded to reflect the particular situation, thereby increasing the ACL on loans and leases.

Asset Quality

Customers ~~divides its loan portfolio into two categories to analyze and understand loan activity and performance: loans that were originated and loans that were acquired. Customers further~~ segments the ~~originated~~loan and ~~acquired loan categories~~lease receivables by ~~loan~~ product or other characteristic generally defining a shared characteristic with other loans or leases in the same group. Customers' originated loans were subject to the current underwriting standards that were put in place in 2009. Management believes this segmentation better reflects the risk in the portfolio and the various types of reserves that are available to absorb loan losses that may emerge in future periods. Credit lossesCharge-offs from originated and acquired loans and leases are absorbed by the ~~allowance for loan losses. Credit losses from acquired loans are absorbed~~ACL. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the ~~allowance~~CAA, gave entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs. In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offered practical expedients for evaluating whether loan ~~losses, nonaccretable difference fair value marks,~~modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were TDRs. For COVID-19 related loan modifications which met the loan modification criteria under either the CARES Act, as amended, or the criteria specified by the regulatory agencies, Customers elected to suspend TDR accounting for such loan modifications. There were no commercial deferments related to COVID-19 at March 31, 2022 and ~~cash reserves. As described below, the allowance for loan losses is intended~~December 31, 2021. Consumer deferments related to ~~absorb only those losses estimated to have been incurred after acquisition, whereas the fair value mark~~COVID-19 were $3.3 million and ~~cash reserves absorb losses estimated to have been embedded in the acquired loans~~$6.1 million at ~~acquisition.~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The total loan and lease portfolio was $14.1 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to ~~$5.8~~$14.6 billion at December 31, 2021, and $43.8 million, or ~~94.8%~~0.31% of loans and leases, were non-performing at March 31, 2022 compared to $49.6 million, or 0.34% of loans and leases, at December 31, 2021. The loan and lease portfolio was supported by an ACL of $145.8 million (333.15% of NPLs and 1.04% of total loans ~~receivable~~and leases) and $137.8 million (277.72% of NPLs and 0.95% of total loans and leases), at ~~December~~March 31, 2016. The management team adopted new underwriting standards that management believes better limits risks of loss in 2009 and have worked to monitor these standards. Only $23.6 million, or 0.36% of post 2009 originated loans were non-performing at September 30, 2017, compared to $10.5 million, or 0.18% of post 2009 loans, at December 31, 2016. The post 2009 loans were supported by an allowance for loan losses of $33.5 million (0.51% of post 2009 originated loans) and $31.8 million (0.55% of post 2009 originated loans), respectively, at September 30, 20172022 and December 31, ~~2016.~~2021, respectively.

~~Loans Acquired~~

~~At September 30, 2017, total acquired loans were $0.5 billion, or 7.7%~~

Table of total loans receivable, compared to $0.3 billion, or 5.2% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2016. Non-performing acquired loans totaled $6.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. When loans are acquired, they are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Acquired loans include purchased portfolios, FDIC assisted failed-bank acquisitions, and unassisted acquisitions. Of the manufactured housing loans purchased from Tammac prior to 2012, $53.1 million were supported by a $0.7 million cash reserve at September 30, 2017, compared to $57.6 million supported by a cash reserve of $1.0 million at December 31, 2016. The cash reserve was created as part of the purchase transaction to absorb losses and is maintained in a demand deposit account at the Bank. All current losses and delinquent interest are absorbed by this reserve. For the manufactured housing loans purchased in 2012, Tammac has an obligation to pay the Bank the full payoff amount of the defaulted loan, including any principal, unpaid interest, or advances on the loans, once the borrower vacates the property. At September 30, 2017, $32.8 million of these loans were outstanding, compared to $36.6 million at December 31, 2016.Contents

DEPOSITS

Many of the acquired loans were purchased at a discount. The price paid considered management’s judgment as to the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the portfolio at the time of purchase. Every quarter, management reassesses the risk and adjusts the cash flow forecast to incorporate changes in the credit outlook. Generally, a decrease in forecasted cash flows for a purchased loan will result in a provision for loan losses, and absent charge-offs, an increase in the allowance for loan losses. Acquired loans have a significantly higher percentage of non-performing loans than loans originated after September 2009. Management acquired these loans with the expectation that non-performing loan levels would be elevated, and therefore incorporated that expectation into the price paid. Customers has assigned these loans to its Special Assets Group, a team that focuses on workouts for these acquired non-performing assets. Total acquired loans were supported by reserves (allowance for loan losses and cash reserves) of $5.6 million (1.03% of total acquired loans) and $6.5 million (2.03% of total acquired loans), respectively, at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

~~The Bank~~Customers is involved with financial instruments and other commitments with off-balance sheet risks. Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks are incurred in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of the Bank's customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, including unused portions of lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated balance ~~sheets.~~sheet.

With commitments to extend credit, ~~exposures~~exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The same credit policies are used in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance sheet instruments. Because they involve credit risk similar to extending a loan ~~commitments to extend credit~~and lease, these financial instruments are subject to the Bank’s credit policy and other underwriting standards.

AsCustomers recognized a credit to provision for credit losses (a benefit) on unfunded lending-related commitments of ~~September 30, 2017 and~~$0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 resulting in an ACL of $2.0 million as of March 31, 2022.

Commitments to fund loans and unfunded commitments under lines of credit may be obligations of the Bank as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if the Bank deems it necessary upon extension of credit, is based upon management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.

Mortgage warehouse loan commitments are agreements to fund the pipelines of mortgage banking businesses from closing of individual mortgage loans until their sale into the secondary market. Most of the individual mortgage loans are insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government through one of its programs such as FHA, VA, or are conventional loans eligible for sale to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These commitments generally fluctuate monthly based on changes in interest rates, refinance activity, new home sales and laws and regulation.

Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit may obligate the Bank to fund draws under those letters of credit whether or not a customer continues to meet the conditions of the extension of credit. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

In connection with the divestiture, Customers entered into various agreements with BM Technologies, including a transition services agreement, software license agreement, deposit servicing agreement, non-competition agreement and loan agreement for periods ranging from one to ten years. The deposit service agreement is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022 and will not be renewed. As of March 31, 2022, Customers held $2.2 billion of deposits serviced by BM Technologies, which are expected to leave Customers Bank by December 31, 2022. The loan agreement with BM Technologies was terminated early in November 2021. For additional information refer to "NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The table below summarizes Customers' cash flows from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in thousands)	2022		2021		Change		% Change
Net cash provided by (used in) discontinued operating activities	$	—	$	(22,791)	$	22,791	(100.0)	%


Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents from discontinued operations	$	—	$	(22,791)	$	22,791	(100.0)	%

Cash flows provided ~~$162.0~~by (used in) discontinued operating activities

Cash used in discontinued operating activities of $22.8 million ~~payment~~for the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted from a net loss of ~~preferred stock dividends used $5.5~~$38.0 million and ~~net proceeds~~a decrease in accrued interest payable and other liabilities of $40.7 million, offset in part by non-cash operating activities of $20.3 million and a decrease in other assets of $35.6 million.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

The Bank and the Bancorp are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Customers' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank and the Bancorp must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under the regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

In April 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that permits banks to exclude the impact of participating in the SBA PPP program in their regulatory capital ratios. Specifically, PPP loans are zero percent risk weighted and a bank can exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPPLF from its average total consolidated assets for purposes of calculating the ~~issuance~~Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio (i.e. leverage ratio). Customers applied this regulatory guidance in the calculation of its regulatory capital ratios presented below.

capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank and the Bancorp met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Generally, to comply with the regulatory definition of adequately capitalized, or well capitalized, respectively, or to comply with the Basel III capital requirements, an institution must at least maintain the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total risk-based capital ratios and the Tier 1 leverage ratio in excess of the related minimum ratios set forth in the following table:

The Basel III Capital Rules require that we maintain a 2.500% capital conservation buffer with respect to each of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. A financial institution with a capital conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock ~~provided $7.3 million. These financing activities provided sufficient cash flows~~repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to ~~support~~executive officers. As of March 31, 2022, the Bank and the Bancorp were in compliance with the Basel III requirements. See "NOTE 12 – REGULATORY CAPITAL" to Customers' ~~investing and operating activities.~~unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding regulatory capital requirements.

Overall, based on our core deposit base and available sources of borrowed funds, management believes that Customers has adequate resources to meet its short-term and long-term cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Effect of Government Monetary Policies

Our earnings are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the money supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement those objectives are open market operations in United States government securities and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall

growth and distribution of bank loans and leases, investments, and deposits, and their use may also affect rates charged on loans and leases or paid for deposits.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The largest component of ~~our~~Customers' net income is net interest income, and the majority of ~~our~~its financial instruments are interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities with various term structures and maturities. One of the primary objectives of management is to ~~maximize~~optimize net interest income while minimizing interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals and differences in lending and funding rates. ~~Our Asset/Liability Committee~~Customers' asset/liability committee actively seeks to monitor and control the mix of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities.

~~We use~~Customers uses two complementary methods to analyze and measure interest rate sensitivity as part of the overall management of interest rate ~~risk. They~~risk; they are income ~~simulation~~scenario modeling and estimates of ~~economic value of equity.~~EVE. The combination of these two methods provides a reasonably comprehensive summary of the levels of interest rate risk of ~~our~~Customers' exposure to time factors and changes in interest rate environments.

Income ~~simulation~~scenario modeling is used to measure ~~our~~ interest rate sensitivity and manage ~~our~~ interest rate risk. Income ~~simulation~~scenario considers not only the impact of changing market interest rates upon forecasted net interest income but also other factors such as yield curve relationships, the volume and mix of assets and liabilities, customer preferences and general market conditions.

Through the use of income ~~simulation~~scenario modeling, ~~we have~~Customers has estimated the net interest income for the ~~period~~twelve months ending ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based upon the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments in existence at ~~September 30, 2017. We have~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Customers has also estimated changes to that estimated net interest income based upon interest rates rising or falling immediately (“rate shocks”). For upward rate shocks modeling a rising rate environment at March 31, 2022, current market interest rates were increased immediately by 100, 200, and 300 basis points. ~~For downward rate shocks modeling a falling~~In the current interest rate environment, ~~current market~~particularly for short term rates, ~~were only decreased immediately by~~the Down 100 to Down 300 basis ~~points~~point scenarios are not shown due to the ~~limitations~~unrealistic and/or negative yield nature of the ~~current low interest rate environment that renders the Down 200 and Down 300 rate shocks impractical.~~results. The following table reflects the estimated percentage change in estimated net interest income for the ~~period~~twelve months ending ~~September 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, resulting from changes in interest rates.

Net change in net interest income


	% Change

~~Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”)~~EVE estimates the discounted present value of asset and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for comparable assets and liabilities. Upward and downward rate shocks are used to measure volatility of EVE in relation to a constant rate environment. For upward rate shocks modeling a rising rate environment at March 31, 2022, current market interest rates were increased immediately by 100, 200, and 300 basis points. ~~For downward rate shocks modeling a falling rate environment, current market rates were only decreased immediately by 100 basis points due~~Due to the limitations of the current low interest rate environment, ~~that renders~~ the Down 100, 200 and ~~Down~~ 300 basis point rate shocks ~~impractical.~~are deemed impractical and not presented below. The downward rate shocks modeled will be revisited in the future if necessary and will be contingent upon additional Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This method of measurement primarily evaluates the longer term repricing risks and options in Customers Bank’s balance sheet. The following table reflects the estimated EVE at risk and the ratio of EVE to EVE adjusted assets at ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, resulting from shocks to interest rates.

Up 1%	9.4%	51.5%

Management believes that the assumptions and combination of methods utilized in evaluating estimated net interest income are reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on estimated net interest income, could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the assumptions used in the model.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, Customers Bancorp carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Customers Bancorp’s management, including Customers Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Customers Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Customers Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective ~~at September 30, 2017.~~as of March 31, 2022.

(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2022, there have been no changes in Customers ~~Bancorp’s~~Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Customers ~~Bancorp’s~~Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic during first quarter 2020 necessitated the execution of several Customers Bancorp contingency plans. Beginning in March 2020, Customers Bancorp had a substantial number of its team members working remotely under such contingency plans. Since that time, Customers has launched the “Return to Workplace” initiative, and communicated a goal of having more team members return to the workplace. In that communication, Customers announced the following action steps along with a continuing commitment to remain empathetic and cognizant of balancing company principles, customer support, team members support and remaining vigilant on tracking and preventing COVID-19 exposures to protect our team members and customers. Customers implemented a “ hybrid model” encouraging and tracking the movement of more team members returning to the office, released a communication requiring all team members to read, sign and acknowledge a Code of Commitment to reveal exposures to COVID-19, thereby allowing Customers to manage the possible impact with 100 percent participation of our team members. Customers has started tracking vaccination rates and less than 10 percent of our team members are not vaccinated or not planning to be vaccinated. The execution of the contingency plans did not materially affect Customers' internal control over financial reporting.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” included within the ~~2016~~2021 Form ~~10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 ("the March 31, 2017 Quarterly Report") and for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 ("the June 30, 2017 Quarterly Report").~~10-K.

The risks described within the ~~2016~~2021 Form 10-K ~~the March 31, 2017 Quarterly Report, the June 30, 2017 Quarterly Report and below~~ are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. See “Item 2 -– Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -– Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

~~We face a number of risks relating to our announced plans to dispose of BankMobile through a spin-off and merger.~~

We have announced our plans to dispose of our BankMobile business through a spin-off of BankMobile to our shareholders, to be followed by a merger of our BankMobile Technologies, Inc. subsidiary, which we refer to as BMT, into Flagship Community Bank, which we refer to as Flagship. While we currently expect to execute a definitive agreement with Flagship for this transaction, as of the date of filing of this Form 10-Q, a definitive agreement has not been executed. We expect that completion of the spin-off and merger will be subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, receipt by Flagship of shareholder approvals of certain matters relating to its acquisition of BMT, Flagship’s ability to raise approximately $100 million through the issuance of shares of its common stock, and other conditions. Certain of the conditions will not be within our control and we cannot guarantee you that we will enter into a definitive agreement or that we will be able to complete the spin-off and merger on the terms we have agreed to with Flagship, or at all.

Our announcement of the spin-off and merger and the steps we take to complete those transactions may adversely affect our business and the value of Customers and/or BankMobile. Uncertainty as to our ability to execute a definitive agreement or to complete the transactions and uncertainty as to the timing of the execution of a definitive agreement or the completion of the transactions may adversely affect analyst and shareholder views of our business and prospects, which could adversely affect our share price. These uncertainties also may adversely impact our relationships with our current and potential higher education institution customers and our BankMobile employees, and could result in the loss of customers and key employees. Because we cannot be certain of completing the spin-off and merger by July 1, 2018, we are also taking steps to reduce our assets below $10 billion at December 31, 2017 in order to eliminate the risk of not receiving full interchange fees, which would occur if we no longer qualified for the smaller issuer exemption from the Durbin Amendment for 2018.

Executing the spin-off and merger also may result in the diversion of management’s attention from Customers’ day-to-day operations generally, and the expenses we incur in executing the transactions may exceed our expectations, which may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, even if we are successful in completing the spin-off and merger, it is possible that Customers and our shareholders may not receive the benefits we presently anticipate from these transactions.

~~If we are unable to reduce our total assets to below $10 billion as of December 31, 2017, our business and potential for future success could be materially adversely affected.~~

Under federal law and regulation, if our total assets exceed $10 billion as of December 31, 2017, we will no longer qualify as a small issuer of debit cards and we will not receive the optimal debit card processing fee. Failure to qualify for the small issuer exception would result in a significant reduction in interchange fee income beginning July 1, 2018 and could result in the BankMobile segment operating unprofitably or charging additional fees to students to replace the lost revenue. Customers plans to reduce total assets by approximately $500 million by year-end 2017 through normal seasonality of the mortgage warehouse business, which tends to decline in the winter months, selling multi-family and residential mortgage loans, and selling investment securities as needed. In addition, Customers expects to moderately grow its commercial and industrial loan portfolio while limiting growth in its multi-family loan portfolio by disciplined pricing. If Customers is unable to reduce total

~~assets to below $10 billion as of December 31, 2017, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.~~

~~The fair value of our investment securities can fluctuate due to market conditions. Adverse economic performance can lead to adverse security performance and other-than-temporary impairment.~~

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our investment securities portfolio was $584.8 million. We have historically followed a conservative investment strategy, with concentrations in securities that are backed by government sponsored enterprises. In the future, we may seek to increase yields through more aggressive strategies, which may include a greater percentage of corporate securities, structured credit products or non-agency mortgage backed securities. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the fair value of securities in our portfolio and can cause potential adverse changes to the fair value of these securities. These factors include, but are not limited to, rating agency actions in respect of the securities, defaults by the issuer or with respect to the underlying securities, and changes in market interest rates and continued instability in the capital markets. Any of these factors, among others, such as a change in management's intent to hold the securities until recovery in fair value, could cause other-than-temporary impairments and realized and/or unrealized losses in future periods and declines in other comprehensive income, which could have a material adverse effect on us. The process for determining whether impairment of a security is other-than-temporary usually requires complex, subjective judgments about the future financial performance and liquidity of the issuer and any collateral underlying the security in order to assess the probability of receiving all contractual principal and interest payments on the security.

As of September 30, 2017, management evaluated its equity holdings issued by Religare for other-than-temporary impairment. Because management no longer has the intent to hold these securities until a recovery in fair value, Customers recorded other-than-temporary impairment losses of $8.3 million in third quarter 2017, $2.9 million in second quarter 2017, $1.7 million in first quarter 2017, and $7.3 million in fourth quarter 2016 for the full amount of the decline in fair value below the cost basis. The fair value of the equity securities at September 30, 2017 of $2.3 million became the new cost basis of the securities.

~~We may suffer losses due to minority investments in other financial institutions or related companies.~~

From time to time, we may make or consider making minority investments in other financial institutions or technology companies in the financial services business. If we do so, we may not be able to influence the activities of companies in which we invest, and may suffer losses due to these activities. Investments in foreign companies could pose additional risks as a result of distance, language barriers and potential lack of information (for example, foreign institutions, including foreign financial institutions, may not be obligated to provide as much information regarding their operations as those in the United States). Our investment in Religare, which is a diversified financial services company in India, represents such an investment. In fourth quarter 2016, we announced our decision to exit our investment in Religare. As a result of that decision, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $7.3 million in earnings in fourth quarter 2016 and adjusted our cost basis of the Religare securities to their estimated fair value of $15.2 million at December 31, 2016. In first quarter 2017, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $1.7 million and adjusted our cost basis of the Religare securities to their estimated fair value of $13.5 million at March 31, 2017. In second quarter 2017, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $2.9 million and adjusted our cost basis of the Religare securities to their estimated fair value of $10.7 million at June 30, 2017. In third quarter 2017, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $8.3 million and adjusted our cost of the Religare equity securities to their estimated fair value of $2.3 million at September 30, 2017. To the extent we are unable to exit the Religare investment as planned, and pursuant to the terms contemplated, further declines in the market price per share of the Religare common stock and adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Dividends on Common Stock

Customers Bancorp historically has not paid any cash dividends on its shares of common stock and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.

Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of Customers Bancorp’s Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to our common stock, including obligations to pay dividends to the holders of Customers Bancorp's issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

In addition, as a bank holding company, Customers Bancorp is ~~750,551 shares.~~subject to general regulatory restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. Federal bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business, which, depending on the financial condition and liquidity of the holding company at the time, could include the payment of dividends. Further, various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that bank subsidiaries can pay to their parent holding company without regulatory approval. Generally, subsidiaries are prohibited from paying dividends when doing so would cause them to fall below the regulatory minimum capital levels, and limits exist on paying dividends in excess of net income for specified periods.

Beginning January 1, 2015, the ability to pay dividends and the amounts that can be paid will be limited to the extent the Bank's capital ratios do not exceed the minimum required levels plus 250 basis points, as these requirements were phased in through January 1, 2019.
