NOTE 2 — 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. On November 13, 2018, Customers Bancorp filed with the SEC a report on Form 8-K advising that its 2017, 2016, and 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and its interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, should no longer be relied upon because of incorrect classifications of the cash flows used in and provided by its commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities between operating and investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances were incorrectly classified as held for sale instead of held for investment (i.e., loans receivable) on its consolidated balance sheets. These misclassifications have no impact on total cash balances, total loans, total assets, the allowance for loan losses, total capital, regulatory capital ratios, net interest income, net interest margin, net income to shareholders, basic or diluted earnings per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, the efficiency ratio, asset quality ratios or other key performance metrics, including non-GAAP performance metrics, that Customers routinely discusses with analysts and investors. The December 31, 20172018 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Customers'Customers Bancorp’s audited 20172018 consolidated financial statements, restated to correct the classification of the mortgage warehouse loans as held for investment instead of held for sale. Because of a fair value option election that Customers made on July 1, 2012 that continues today, these loans are, and will continue to be, reported at their fair value and accordingly do not have an allowance for loan losses.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 20172018 consolidated financial statements of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries included in itsCustomers' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018March 1, 2019 (the "2017"2018 Form 10-K") except to the extent they are affected by the restatement.

Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year or any other period. There have been no material changes to Customers' significant accounting policies as disclosed in Customers' 2017 Form 10-K, except for the accounting policies related to Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows and Loans Held for Sale and Loans at Fair Value as described below.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In November 2018, Customers determined that the cash flow activities associated with its commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities should have been reported as investing activities in its consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances should have been classified as held for investment (i.e., loans receivable). Effective with the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Customers changed its accounting policies such that commercial mortgage warehouse loans will be classified as held for investment and presented as "Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value" on its consolidated balance sheets. The cash flow activities associated with these commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities will be reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following tables set forth the effects of the correction on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features



Issued July 2017


 
Ÿ  Changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features.

Ÿ
  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 be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature.

Ÿ
  For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, 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 net income available to common shareholders in basic earnings per share ("EPS").

At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, there were twenty-eightfour available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses in the less-than-twelve-month category and notwenty-two available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses in the twelve-month-or-more category.  The unrealized losses on the mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by government-sponsored entities and primarily relate to changes in market interest rates. The unrealized losses on the corporate notes relate to securities with no company specific concentration. The unrealized losses were principally due to an upward shift in interest rates that resulted in a negative impact on the respective note's fair value. All amounts related to the mortgage-backed securities and the corporate notes are expected to be recovered when market prices recover or at maturity. Customers does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that Customers will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis.

During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, Customers recorded other-than-temporary impairment losses of $8.3 million and $12.9 million, respectively, related to its equity holdings in Religare Enterprises Ltd. ("Religare") for the full amount of the decline in fair value from the cost basis established at DecemberAt March 31, 2016 through September 30, 2017 because Customers no longer had the intent to hold these securities until a recovery in fair value. At December 31, 2017, the fair value of the Religare equity securities was $3.4 million, which resulted in an unrealized gain of $1.0 million being recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income with no adjustment for deferred taxes as Customers currently does not have a tax strategy in place capable of generating sufficient capital gains to utilize any capital losses resulting from the Religare investment.
As described in NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION, the adoption of ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,on January 1, 2018 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to Customers' consolidated balance sheet with a $1.0 million reduction in accumulated other comprehensive income and a corresponding increase in retained earnings related to the December 31, 2017 unrealized gain on the Religare equity securities. In accordance with the new accounting guidance, changes in the fair value of the Religare equity securities since adoption are recorded directly in earnings, which resulted in an unrealized loss of $1.2 million and $1.5 million being recognized in other non-interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Customers Bank had pledged investment securities aggregating $187.1$22.9 million and $16.9$23.0 million in fair value, respectively, as collateral against its borrowings primarily with the FHLB and an unused line of credit with another financial institution. These counterparties do not have the ability to sell or repledge these securities.

Customers Bank transferred these loans at their carrying value, which was lowerany one issuer, other than the estimated fair value at the timeU.S. Government and its agencies, amounted to greater than 10% of transfer.

Customers' total loans and leases receivable portfolio includes loans receivable which are reported at fair value based on an election made to account for these loans at fair value and loans and leases receivable which are predominately reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance, net of charge-offs and deferred costs and fees and unamortized premiums and discounts and are evaluated for impairment.

Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value:

Mortgage warehouse loans consist of commercial loans to mortgage companies. These mortgage warehouse lending transactions are subject to master repurchase agreements. As a result of the contractual provisions, for accounting purposes control of the underlying mortgage loan has not transferred and the rewards and risks of the mortgage loans are not assumed by Customers. The mortgage warehouse loans receivable are designated as loans held for investment and reported at fair value based on an election made to account for the loans at fair value. Pursuant to the agreements, Customers funds the pipelines for these mortgage lenders by sending payments directly to the closing agents for funded mortgage loans and receives proceeds directly from third party investors when the underlying mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market. The fair value of the mortgage warehouse loans is estimated as the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The interest rates on these loans are variable, and the lending transactions are short-term, with an average life of 2520 days from purchase to sale.

(1)Includes past due loans and leases that are accruing interest because collection is considered probable.
(2)Loans and leases 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. Due to 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.ALLL.
(5)Manufactured housing loans purchased in 2010 are supported by 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.

As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Bank had $0.4 million and $0.3$0.2 million, respectively, of residential real estate held in other real estate owned.OREO.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
At September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, there were $19.4$19.6 million and $20.4$19.2 million, respectively, in loans reported as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).TDRs. TDRs are reported as impaired loans in the calendar year of their restructuring and are evaluated to determine whether they should be placed on non-accrual status. In subsequent years, a TDR may be returned to accrual status if it satisfies a minimum 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. Modifications of purchased-credit-impairedPCI loans that are accounted for within loan pools in accordance with the accounting standards for purchased-credit-impairedPCI loans do not result in the removal of these loans from the pool even if the modifications would otherwise be considered a TDR. Accordingly, as each pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows, modifications of loans within such pools are not considered TDRs. Customers did not have any TDR lease receivables as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The following table presents total TDRs based on loan type and accrual status at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018. Nonaccrual TDRs are included in the reported amount of total non-accrual loans.

Credit Quality Indicators
The allowance for loan lossesALLL represents management's estimate of probable losses in CustomersCustomers' loans and leases receivable portfolio, excluding commercial mortgage warehouse loans carried under thereported at fair value option.pursuant to a fair value option election. Multi-family, commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and 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. Residential real estate loans, manufactured housing and other consumer loans are evaluated based on the payment activity of the loan.
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 for purposes of analyzing historical loss rates used in the determination of the allowance for loan lossesALLL for the respective loan portfolios, 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 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 risk rating grades are defined as follows:
“1” – Pass/Excellent
Loans and leases 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 and leases 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 and leases 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 and leases rated 3 are those loans and leases 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 and leases 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 and leases 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.loans and leases.
“5” – Satisfactory
Loans and leases rated 5 are extended to borrowers who are considered 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 and leases 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 and leases rated 7 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 and leases 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 and leases where significant actual, not potential, weaknesses or problems are clearly evident are graded in the category below.
“8” – Substandard
Loans and leases are rated 8 when the loans and leases are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases 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 and leases 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 or lease, 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 and leases 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.
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.

The following tables present the credit ratings of loans and leases receivable as of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

NOTE 7 — LEASES
Lessee
Customers has operating leases for its branches, LPOs, and administrative offices, with remaining lease terms ranging between 2 months and 8 years. These operating leases comprise substantially all of Customers' obligations in which Customers acts as 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 right of use 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 based on the information available at either the adoption of ASC 842 or the commencement date of the lease, whichever was later, when determining the present value of lease payments. Accordingly, Customers does not present ROU assets and corresponding liabilities for operating leases for fiscal years prior to the adoption of this standard.

Equipment Lessor
CCF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Customers Bank and is referred to as the Equipment Finance group. CCF is primarily focused on originating equipment operating and direct finance equipment leases for a broad range of asset classes. It services vendors, dealers, independent finance companies, bank-owned leasing companies and strategic direct customers in the plastics, packaging, machine tool, construction, transportation and franchise markets. Lease terms typically range from 24 months to 120 months. CCF offers the following lease products: Capital Lease, Purchase Upon Termination, TRAC, Split-TRAC, and FMV. Direct finance equipment leases are included in commercial and industrial loans.
The estimated residual values for direct finance and operating leases are established by utilizing internally developed analysis, external studies, and/or third-party appraisals to establish a residual position. The residual values are reviewed on an annual basis, and in the event of any impairment, the resulting reduction in the net investment shall be recognized as a loss in the period in which the impairment is charged. For the direct finance leases, only for a Split-TRAC is there a residual risk and the unguaranteed portions are typically nominal.
Leased assets under operating leases are carried at amortized cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges 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 their 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 leased assets for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the leased asset exceeds its fair value and is not recoverable. The carrying amount of 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 8 — 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.
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, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Bank and the Bancorp satisfied all capital 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 as set forth in the following table:

The Basel III risk-based capital rules adopted effective January 1, 2015 require that banks and holding companies maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 250 basis points in excess of the "minimum capital ratio" or certain elective distributions would be limited. The minimum capital ratio is equal to the prompt corrective action adequately capitalized threshold ratio. The capital conservation buffer is beingwas phased in over four years beginning on January 1, 2016, with a maximum buffer of 0.625% of risk weighted assets for 2016, 1.25%1.250% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.5%2.500% for 2019 and thereafter.

Effective January 1, 2018,2019, the capital level required to avoid limitation on elective distributions applicable to the Bancorp and the Bank were as follows:

(i) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.375%7.000%;
(ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.875%8.500%; and
(iii) a Total risk-based capital ratio of 9.875%10.500%.

Failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will result in limitations on capital distributions and on discretionary bonuses to executive officers.

NOTE 9 — DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - As Restated
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, 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.
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, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017:

2018:
Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Investment securities:
The fair values of equity securities and available-for-sale debt securities are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized and foreign securities exchanges (Level 1), 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 externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3). 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 - Consumerconsumer residential mortgage loans (fair value option):
The BankCustomers 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.

Loans receivable - Commercialcommercial mortgage warehouse loans (fair value option):
The fair value of 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 mortgage loans and the finalization of the sale of the loans to an investor. Changes in fair value are not expected to be recognized because at inception of the transaction the underlying 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 2520 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.
Derivatives (Assets(assets and Liabilities)liabilities):
The fair values of interest rate swaps 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 BankCustomers 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 BankCustomers 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 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.
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’sCustomers' disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.
Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
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.

The estimated fair values of Customers' financial instruments at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 were as follows.

NOTE 10 — 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 of which are determined by interest rates. Customers' derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of Customers' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain borrowings. Customers also has interest-rate derivatives resulting from a service provided to certain qualifying customers, and therefore, they are not used to manage 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 Risk
Customers' objectives in using interest-rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest-rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Customers primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. 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 changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive incomeAOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. To date, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuances of debt.
Customers discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it is probable the forecasted hedged transactions will not occur in the initially identified time period. At such time, the associated gains and losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive incomeAOCI are reclassified immediately into earnings and any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognized directly in earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Customers recognized gains of $2.8 million in other non-interest income on discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for three interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $500 million.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive incomeAOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Customers' variable-rate debt. Customers expects to reclassify $1.0 million from accumulated other comprehensive income as a reductionAOCI to interest expense during the next 12 months.
Customers is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions (3-month FHLB advances) over a maximum period of 3363 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments).

At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Customers had eightfive outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $835.0$675.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. At December 31, 2017,2018, Customers had ninesix outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $550.0$750.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The outstanding cash flow hedges at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 expire between October 2018April 2019 and July 2021.2024.
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). The customer interest rate swaps are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps that Customers executes with a third party in order to minimize interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting third-party market swaps are recognized directly in earnings. At September 30,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Customers had 98 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $956.8 million related to this program. At December 31, 2017, Customers had 76 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $800.5 million$1.0 billion 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, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Customers had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan commitments of $6.1$5.8 million and $2.7$3.6 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 recorded directly in earnings. At September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Customers had outstanding notional balances of credit derivatives of $95.5$115.8 million and $80.5$94.9 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.
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, 2018, allMarch 31, 2019, the fair value of derivatives with major derivative dealer counterparties were in a net asset position.liability position (which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk) related to these agreements was $16.0 million. In addition, Customers has collateral posting thresholds with certain of these counterparties and at March 31, 2019, had posted $19.5 million of cash as collateral. Customers records cash posted as collateral as a reduction in the outstanding balance of cash and cash equivalents and an increase in the balance of other assets.

Lending and deposit gathering activities are focused primarily on privately held businesses, high-net-worth families, selected commercial real estate lending, and commercial mortgage companies.companies, and equipment finance. Revenues are generated primarily through net interest income (the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, investments, and other interest earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds) and other non-interest income, such as mortgage warehouse transactional fees and bank owned life insurance.

Debit and prepaid card interchange expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Debit and prepaid card interchange expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $3.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

The following is a discussion of revenues within the scope of ASC 606:

Card revenue

Card revenue primarily relates to debit and prepaid card fees earned from interchange and ATM fees. Interchange fees are earned whenever Customers' issued debit and prepaid cards are processed through card payment networks. Interchange fees are recognized concurrent with the processing of the debit or prepaid card transaction.

Deposit fees

Deposit fees relate to service charges on deposit accounts for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop-payment charges, wire transfer fees, cashier and money order fees are recognized at the time the transaction is executed. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance and account analysis fees, are earned on a monthly basis representing the period over which Customers satisfies its performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposit accounts are withdrawn from the depositor's account balance.

The revenues recognized at a point in time primarily consist of contracts with no specified terms, but which may be terminated at any time by the customer without penalty. Due to the transactional nature and indefinite term of these agreements, there were no related contract balances that were recorded for these revenue streams on Customers' consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.


University fees

University fees represent revenues from higher education institutions and are generated from fees charged for the services provided. For higher education institution clients, Customers, through BankMobile, facilitates the distribution of financial aid and other refunds to students, while simultaneously enhancing the ability of the higher education institutions to comply with the federal regulations applicable to financial aid transactions. For these services, higher education institution clients are charged an annual subscription fee and/or per-transaction fee (e.g., new card or card replacement fees) for certain transactions. The annual subscription fee is recognized ratably over the period of service and the transaction fees are recognized when the transaction is completed. BankMobile also enters into long-term (generally three- or five-year initial term) contracts with higher education institutions to provide these refund management disbursement services. Deferred revenue consists of amounts billed to or received from clients prior to the performance of services. The deferred revenues are earned over the service period on a straight-line basis. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Customers recorded deferred revenue of $2.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to these university subscription contracts. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Customers had accounts receivable of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to the university fee arrangements.

United States Department of Education Matter
In third quarter 2018, Customers received a FPRD letter dated September 5, 2018 from the DOE regarding a focused program review of Higher One's/Customers Bank's administration, as a third party servicer, of the programs authorized pursuant to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The DOE program review covered the award years beginning in 2013 through the FPRD issuance date, including the time period when Higher One was acting as the third party servicer prior to Customers' acquisition of the Disbursement business on June 15, 2016. The FPRD determined that, with respect to students enrolled at specified partner institutions, Higher One/Customers did not provide convenient fee-free access to ATMs or bank branch offices in such locations as required by the DOE’s cash management regulations. Those regulations, which were in effect during the period covered by the program review and were revised during that period, seek, among other purposes, to ensure that students can make fee-free cash withdrawals.  The FPRD determined that students incurred prohibited costs in accessing Title IV credit balance funds, and the FPRD classifies those costs as financial liabilities of Customers. The FPRD also requires Customers to take prospective action to increase ATM access for students at certain of its partner institutions. Customers disagrees with the FPRD and has elected to appeal the FPRD, including the asserted financial liabilities of $6.5 million, and a request for review has been submitted to trigger an administrative process before the DOE’s Office of Hearing and Appeals. Customers intends to vigorously defend itself against the financial liabilities established in the FPRD through that administrative appeals process and it further intends to pursue resolution of the FPRD’s prospective action requirements during the appeals resolution process. The matter is in its early stages. Customers is currently unable to predict the outcome of the appeal and resolution efforts, and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss. Customers does not believe that this matter will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In November 2018, Customers determined that commercial mortgage warehouse loans should have been classified as loans receivable, rather than loans held for sale. Additional discussion regarding the correction in classification error of mortgage warehouse loans is included in NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION.

Critical Accounting Policies

Customers has adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that are consistent with general practices within the banking industry in the preparation of its financial statements. Customers' significant accounting policies are described in “NOTE 42 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION” in Customers' audited financial statements included in its 20172018 Form 10-K and updated in this Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 in “NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION."

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by Customers that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Customers considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment 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 and liabilities and its results of operations.

Overview
As previously disclosed, Customers intends to retainCustomers' strategic priorities include creating shareholder value through improved profitability, targeting a return on average assets of approximately 1.25% and operate BankMobile fora double-digit return on tangible common equity within the next 2 - 3 yearsyears. Customers is also targeting NIM expansion to 2.75% or greater by fourth quarter 2019, with a full year 2019 NIM above 2.70%, through an expected shift in asset and funding mix. Total assets at year-end 2019 are expected to be under $10 billion, while its spin-off plansthe average balance of interest-earnings assets for 2019 are put on hold as a result of regulatory complications. Management recently announced its first White-Label partnership with T-Mobile, whichexpected to be comparable to 2018 average interest-earning assets, and the BankMobile segment is expected to be launchedbecome profitable in the fourth quarter 2018 and provide significant benefits to the overall profitability of BankMobile, beginning as early as the end of 2019.
Customers' strategic priorities include maintaining a balance sheet below $10 billion in total assets to improve capital ratios, enhance liquidity, expand net interest margin, and maximize the return of average assets. Longer-term goals include a net interest margin target of 2.75% within the next 12 - 18 months, which is expected to be achieved through a shift in the mix of assets and liabilities maintained on the balance sheet. Customers intends to deemphasize its lower-yielding multi-family loan portfolio, with multi-family balances expected to be around $3.3 billion by the end of 2018 and continue to trend lower over time if spreads remain at the current level, and fund future growthinvest in higher-yielding commercial and industrial and consumer loan portfolios with the multi-family loan portfolio run-off. Similarly, Customers plans to replace higher-rate non-core deposits and borrowings with less expensive core deposits.
In late November 2018, BankMobile's first White Label banking partnership went live in beta test phase, offering BankMobile's best in class banking products to the partner's broad customer base. At March 31, 2019, the partnership had generated over $11.0 million in total deposits during the beta test phase with no advertising. On April 18, 2019, T-Mobile "launched" the first phase of its national marketing plan and, in the first weeks, new account openings have exceeded expectations. Customers plans to remain predominately a small business bank, with higher-quality consumer loans making up about 15% - 20%expects significant account openings and deposit growth through the remainder of total assets, multi-family loans comprising about 10% of total assets, and core commercial lending activities, including specialty lending and loans to mortgage banking businesses totaling approximately 70% - 75% of total assets.2019.

ThirdFirst Quarter Events of Note
Customers reported net income available to common shareholders of $2.4$11.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for third quarter 2018 and $43.0 million, or $1.33$0.38 per diluted share for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018. The financial results for third quarter 2018 included $18.7 million of losses realized from the sale of $495 million of lower-yielding investment securities, $2.9 million of merger and acquisition related expenses resulting primarily from the termination of the spin-off and merger agreement between Customers and Flagship Community Bank ("Flagship") on October 18, 2018, and a negative mark-to-market adjustment of $1.2 million on an equity investment. These notable charges negatively affected GAAP earnings by $0.55 per diluted share in third quarter 2018 and $0.57 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
March 31, 2019. Total assets were $10.6$10.1 billion at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.8$0.3 billion from December 31, 2017.2018. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by a $0.2 billion increase in total loans and leases. Commercial and industrial loans (including owner occupied commercial real estate) increased cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of $0.5 billion$87.0 million, or 4.5%, residential real estate loans increased $58.5 million, or 10.3%, and other consumer loans increased investment securities, even after the securities sale of $495$79.1 million, executed in the third quarter of 2018 generated the $18.7 million loss, of $0.2 billion. Customers expects to have total assets of under $10 billion by the end of 2018, with an emphasis on higher-yielding assets replacing lower-yielding assets and lower-cost core deposit growth replacing higher-cost funding.or 107%. As planned, multi-family loans decreased $73.0 million.
Asset quality remained exceptional with non-performing loansNPLs of $23.6$22.8 million, or 0.27%0.26% of total loans and leases, and total non-performing assets (non-performing loans(NPLs and other real estate owned)OREO) only 0.24%0.23% of total assets at September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, reflecting Customers' conservative lending practices and continued focus on credit risk management. Customers' level of non-performing loansNPLs to total loans and leases at September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 remained well below industry average non-performing loansNPLs to total loans and leases of 1.21%1.11% and Customers' peer group non-performing loansNPLs to total loans and leases of 0.78%0.74% (peer data is the most recent period available from S&P Global Market Intelligence). 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, 2018.March 31, 2019. Customers Bancorp's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.91%10.01%, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 12.69%12.92%, at September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

Customers reported net income available to common shareholders of $4.1$11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decreasedMarch 31, 2019, compared to $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Factors contributing to the change in net income available to common shareholders primarily resulted from afor the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 were as follows:
Net interest income
The $5.7 million decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily resulted from a reduction of $4.0$0.6 billion in average interest-earning assets, and the narrowing of NIM by eight basis points to 2.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 2.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The NIM compression was primarily driven by higher funding costs as the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 69 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2019, partially offset by a 44 basis point increase in the yield of interest-earnings assets compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Given the four Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2018 and the associated increases in market interest rates, the cost of total deposits increased 62 basis points to 1.75 % and borrowing costs increased 73 basis points to 2.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Provision for loan and lease losses
The $2.7 million or 5.9%, an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, reflects Customers' initiative to increase consumer and commercial and industrial loans. The provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 included $4.2 million for loan growth in the consumer and commercial and industrial loan and lease portfolios, net of the multi-family and commercial real estate loan run-off (including $4.0 million relating to increases in residential mortgages and consumer loans) and $0.6 million for impaired loan provisions. The provision for loan and a decreaselease losses in non-interest incomethe three months ended March 31, 2018 included provisions of $15.9$0.9 million or 88.4%,for loan and lease portfolio growth and $1.3 million for impaired loan provisions, offset in part by a decrease in non-interest expense of $3.9$0.2 million or 6.4%, and a decrease in income tax expense of $14.9 million, or 99.8%.

Net interest income of $64.0 million decreased $4.0 million, or 5.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to net interest income of $68.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets of $33.5 million and a 15 basis point decrease in net interest margin (tax equivalent) to 2.47% for third quarter 2018 from 2.62% for third quarter 2017. The total cost of deposits and borrowings increased 66 basis points, which was mitigated in part by a 47 basis point increase in yield on interest earning assets over the prior period, primarily due to an increase in yield on loans of 44 basis points and a 43 basis point increase in yield on investment securities.
The provision for loan losses of $2.9 million increased $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the provision for loan losses of $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting Customers' initiative to increase consumer loans. The third quarter 2018 provision for loan losses included $2.3 million for growth in the consumer loan portfolio and a $0.9 million increase for impaired loans, offset in part by a release of reserves of $0.2 million resulting from improved asset quality and lower incurred losses than previously estimated.
Non-interest income of $2.1 million decreased $15.9 million, or 88.4%, Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2018 whenMarch 31, 2019 were $1.1 million, or 5 basis points of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared to non-interest incomenet charge-offs of $18.0$0.6 million, or 3 basis points on an annualized basis for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Included withinMarch 31, 2018.
Non-interest income
The $1.2 million decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was an $18.7 million loss realized from the sale of $495 million of lower-yielding investment securities and a $1.2 million negative mark-to-market adjustment on an equity investment. Also included within non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.2 million of debit and prepaid card interchange expense, which was recorded as a reduction to the gross amount of interchange and card revenue of $8.3 million as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance as described in NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION on a modified retrospective basis. Prior to the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, these expenses were included within non-interest expense and reported as technology, communication and bank operations expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, debit and prepaid card interchange expense was $1.2 million. If the three months ended September 30, 2017 was presented on a consistent basis with the three months ended September 30, 2018, the reported amount of the gross interchange and card revenue of $9.6 million would have been presented net of the debit and prepaid card interchange expense of $1.2 million, or $8.4 million. When presented on a consistent basis, interchange and card revenue decreased $1.3 million over the year-ago period resulting from lower activity volumes in the BankMobile business segment. Other decreases in total non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 includedMarch 31, 2018 primarily resulted from decreases of $1.4 million in gains on sales of SBA loans, $0.9 million in interchange and card revenue, and a reduction in mortgage warehouse transactional fees and deposittransaction fees of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, primarily resulting from reduced transaction volumes.million. These decreases in non-interest income were offset in part by a $2.8 million gain recognized from the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting for three interest rate swaps, which Customers now believes are not needed due to strong core deposit growth, and an increase in commercial lease income on commercial operating leases of $1.3 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, Customers realized $5.3 million of gains from the sale of investment securities and an $8.3 million impairment loss on an equity investment.
Non-interest expense of $57.1 million decreased $3.9 million, or 6.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to non-interest expense of $61.0$1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. TotalMarch 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Non-interest expense
The $1.7 million increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 excludes $1.2 million of debit and prepaid card interchange expense as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance on January 1, 2018. IfMarch 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 was presented on a consistent basis with the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2018 the reported amountprimarily resulted from increases of non-interest expense of $61.0$2.0 million would have been $59.8 million andin technology, communication, and bank operations, expense of $14.4 million would have been $13.2 million. When presented on a consistent basis, technology, communication and bank operations expense decreased $1.5 million to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Professional services decreased $2.7 million to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily attributable to reductions in consulting, legal, and other outside professional services as management continues its efforts to monitor and control expenses. Included in non-interest expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $2.8$1.1 million in catch-upcommercial lease depreciation, and amortization for BankMobile assets that were previously classified as held for sale. These decreases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $2.9$0.9 million increase in merger and acquisition related expenses due primarily to the termination of the spin-off and merger agreement with Flagship, a $0.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, and a$0.4 million in advertising and promotion. These increases were offset in part by decreases of $1.4 million in professional services, and $1.0 million increase in depreciation on commercial operating leases for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared the three months ended September 30, 2017.

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.

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Interchange and card revenue
Included withinThe $0.9 million decrease in interchange and card revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.2 million of debit and prepaid card interchange expense, which was recorded as a reduction to the gross amount of interchange and card revenue of $8.3 million as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance as described in NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION on a modified retrospective basis. Prior to the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, these expenses were included within non-interest expense and reported as technology, communication, and bank operations expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, debit and prepaid card interchange expense was $1.2 million. If the three months ended September 30, 2017 was presented on a consistent basis with the three months ended September 30, 2018, the reported amount of the gross interchange and card revenue of $9.6 million would have been presented net of the debit and prepaid card interchange expense of $1.2 million, or $8.4 million. When presented on a consistent basis, the $1.3 million decline in interchange and card revenue was largely the result of lower activity volumes in the BankMobile business segment.

The $3.3 million increase in other non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily dueMarch 31, 2018, as increasing interest rates reduced the volume of mortgage loan originations and refinancings.
Gain (loss) on sale of SBA and other loans
The $1.4 million decrease in gains on sales of SBA and other loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflects a $2.8 million gain recognized from discontinuing cash flow hedge accounting for three interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2018 and a $1.3 million increase in income from commercial operating leases. These increases were offset in part by a $1.2 million negative mark-to-market adjustmentstrategic shift to retain SBA loans on an equity investment.

The $14.9 million decreasefollowing table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income taxand interest expense for the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was primarily attributable to the elimination$59.3 million, a decrease of deferred tax benefits$5.7 million, or 8.8%, from the other-than-temporary impairment loss on investment securities totaling $7.7net interest income of $65.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, as NIM narrowed by eight basis points to 2.59% for first quarter 2019 compared to 2.67% for first quarter 2018. The NIM compression largely resulted from a 69 basis point increase in the loweringcost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 44 basis point increase in the corporate federal income taxyield of interest-earning assets. Given the four Federal Reserve interest rate from 35%hikes in 2018 and the associated increase in market interest rates, the cost of total deposits increased 62 basis points to 21% due1.75% and borrowings costs increased 73 basis points to 2.98%. The yield on commercial and industrial loans and leases increased 80 basis points given higher market interest rates. The 77 basis point increase in the yield on "all other loans" principally reflects the purchase of residential mortgages and consumer loans totaling $132.5 million in first quarter 2019.
Total loans and leases decreased $73.2 million, or 0.8%, to $8.7 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to the adoptionyear-ago period, reflecting Customers' efforts to favorably mix the composition of its loan and lease portfolio. Commercial and industrial loans and leases, excluding commercial loans to mortgage companies, increased $334.8 million, or 20.3%, to $2.0 billion; residential mortgages and other consumer loans increased $549.8 million, or 238.9%, to $779.8 million; multi-family loans decreased $433.1 million, or 11.9%, to $3.2 billion; commercial real estate non-owner-occupied loans decreased $88.6 million, or 7.4%, to $1.1 billion; and commercial loans to mortgage companies decreased $396.0 million, or 20.5%, to $1.5 billion.
Total deposits increased $382.9 million, or 5.4%, to $7.4 billion at March 31, 2019 compared to the Tax Cutyear-ago period. Total demand deposits increased $412.6 million, or 23.3%, to $2.2 billion; savings and Jobs Actmoney market deposits increased $301.0 million, or 8.9%, to $3.7 billion; and certificates of 2017,deposit accounts decreased $330.7 million, or 17.5%, to $1.6 billion. In July 2018, Customers launched a decreasenew digital, on-line banking product with a goal of gathering retail deposits. As of March 31, 2019, this new business generated $360.8 million in pre-tax incomeretail deposits, an increase of $16.6$27.5 million since December 31, 2018.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
The provision for loan and lease losses increased $2.7 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, and a $1.7 million favorable return to provision adjustment, which included the benefit of a research and development tax credit, recorded in third quarter 2018 upon completion of the 2017 income tax returns.

PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
Preferred stock dividends were $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. There were no changes to the amount of preferred stock outstanding or the dividend rates from third quarter 2017 to third quarter 2018.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Net income available to common shareholders decreased $3.4 million, or 7.3%, to $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to net income available to common shareholders of $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decreased net income available to common shareholders resulted primarily from a decrease in net interest income of $2.7 million, or 1.4%, a decrease in non-interest income of $20.1 million, or 33.9%, and an increase in non-interest expense of $2.3 million, or 1.4%, offset in part by a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1.7 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $20.0 million, or 58.4%.
Net interest income of $196.4 million decreased $2.7 million, or 1.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to net interest income of $199.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This decrease resulted primarily from a 13 basis point decrease in net interest margin (tax equivalent) to 2.58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 2.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The total cost of deposits and borrowings increased 55 basis points, which was mitigated in part by a 39 basis point increase in yield on interest-earning assets, primarily due to an increase in yield on loans of 34 basis points and a 36 basis point increase in yield on investment securities.
The provision for loan losses decreased $1.7 million to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the provision for loan losses of $5.9$2.1 million for the same period in 2017.2018, reflecting Customers' initiatives to increase consumer and commercial and industrial loans and leases. The provision for loan and lease losses in first quarter 2019 included $4.2 million for growth in the nine months ended September 30,consumer and commercial and industrial loan and lease portfolios, net of the multi-family and commercial real estate loan run-off (including $4.0 million relating to increases in residential mortgages and consumer loans) and $0.6 million for impaired loan provisions. The provision for loan and lease losses in first quarter 2018 included $3.5provisions of $0.9 million for loan and lease portfolio growth and $1.9$1.3 million for impaired loans,loan provisions, offset in part by a $1.2$0.2 million release that resultedresulting from improved asset quality and lower incurred losses than previously estimated.

Mortgage warehouse transactional fees
The $0.6 million decrease in mortgage warehouse transactional fees for the new revenue recognition guidance, these expenses were included withinthree months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily resulted from a 30% decrease in the number of loans funded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, as increasing interest rates reduced the volume of mortgage loan originations and refinancings.
Gain (loss) on sale of SBA and other loans

Technology, communication, and bank operations expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, debit and prepaid card interchange expense was $4.4 million. If the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was presented on a consistent basis with the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the reported amount of non-interest income of $59.2 million would have been $54.8 million and the gross interchange and card revenue of $31.7 million would have been presented net of the debit and prepaid card interchange expense of $4.4 million, or $27.4 million.

Other decreases in total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included decreases in deposit fees and mortgage warehouse transactional fees of $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively, primarily resulting from reduced transaction volumes. These decreases in non-interest income were offset in part by an increase in other non-interest income of $5.8 million, primarily due to a $3.3

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.

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Customers' total loans and leases receivable portfolio includes loans receivable which are reported at fair value based on an election made to account for these loans at their fair value and loans and leases receivable which are primarily reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance, net of charge-offs, deferred costs and fees, and unamortized premiums and discounts and are evaluated for impairment.
Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value
The mortgage warehouse product line provides financing to mortgage companies nationwide from the time of origination of the underlying mortgage loans until the mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market. As a mortgage warehouse lender, Customers provides a form of financing to mortgage bankers by purchasing for resale the underlying residential mortgages on a short-term basis under a master repurchase agreement. These loans are reported as loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Because these loans are reported at their fair value), net of thevalue, they do not have an allowance for loan and lease losses increasedand are therefore excluded from allowance for loan and lease losses related disclosures. At March 31, 2019, all of Customers' commercial mortgage warehouse loans were current in terms of payment.
Customers is subject to the risks associated with such lending, including, but not limited to, the risks of fraud, bankruptcy and default of the mortgage banker or of the underlying residential borrower, any of which could result in credit losses. Customers' mortgage warehouse lending team members monitor these mortgage originators by $469.0 millionobtaining financial and other relevant information to $7.2reduce these risks during the lending period. Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value totaled $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at September 30, 2018 from $6.7 billion at DecemberMarch 31, 2017.

Credit Risk
Customers manages credit risk by maintaining diversification in its loan and lease portfolio, establishing and enforcing prudent underwriting standards and collection efforts, and continuous and periodic loan and lease classification reviews. Management also considers the effect of credit risk on financial performance by reviewing quarterly and maintaining an adequate allowance for loan losses.ALLL. Credit losses are chargedcharged-off when they are identified, and provisions are added when it is estimated that a loss has occurred, to the allowance for loan lossesALLL at least quarterly. The allowance for loan lossesALLL is estimated at least quarterly.

The provision for loan and lease losses was $2.9$4.8 million and $2.4$2.1 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and $4.3 million and $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The allowance for loan lossesALLL maintained for loans and leases receivable (excluding loans held for sale and loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, loans, at fair value) was $40.7$43.7 million, or 0.60% of loans and leases receivable, at March 31, 2019 and $40.0 million, or 0.56% of loans receivable, at September 30, 2018 and $38.0 million, or 0.56% of loansleases receivable, at December 31, 2017.2018. Net charge-offs were $0.5$1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a decreaseMarch 31, 2019, an increase of $2.0$0.4 million compared to the same period in 2017.2018. The decreaseincrease in net charge-offs period over period was mainly driven by a decrease in

higher net charge-off activitiescharge-offs in the commercialmulti-family and industrialother consumer loan portfolio. Net charge-offs were $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in net charge-offs period over period was mainly driven by a decrease in net charge-off activities related to the commercial and industrial loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan lossesALLL 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 losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. All commercial loans, with the exception of commercial mortgage warehouse loans, which are reported at fair value, are assigned 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.ALLL. Refer to Critical Accounting Policies herein and NOTE 42 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION to Customers' audited financial statements in its 20172018 Form 10-K for further discussion on management's methodology for estimating the allowance for loan losses.

ALLL.
Approximately 83%80% of 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”). Customers' lien position on the real estate collateral will vary on a loan-by-loan basis and will change as a result of changes in the value of the collateral. Current appraisals providing current value estimates of the property are received when 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 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 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 individually evaluated for impairment, the collateral value or discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to determine the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated selling costs, and compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the amount of 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 receivable and inventory aging reports and relevant supplemental financial data to estimate the fair value of the loan, net of estimated selling costs, and compared to the outstanding loan balance to estimate the required reserve.

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 loans, consisting primarily of non-accrual and restructured loans, are considered in the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses.ALLL. Impaired loans are generally evaluated based on the expected future cash flows or the fair value of the underlying collateral (less estimated costs to sell) if principal repayment is expected to come from the sale or operation of such collateral.
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 originatedloan and acquired loan categorieslease receivables by loan product or other characteristic generally defining a shared characteristic with other loans 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 losses from originated loans and leases are absorbed by the allowance for loan losses.ALLL. Credit losses from acquired loans are absorbed by the allowance for loan losses,ALLL, nonaccretable difference fair value marks and cash reserves. As described below, the allowance for loan losses is intended to absorb only those losses estimated to have been incurred after acquisition, whereas the fair value mark and cash reserves absorb losses estimated to have been embedded in the acquired loans at acquisition. The schedule that follows includes both loans held for sale and loans held for investment.

Total 2009 and prior loans ("legacy loans") were $23.4 million and $25.6 million at September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Loans Acquired
At September 30, 2018, total acquired loans were$633.4 million, or 8.7% of loans receivable, compared to $328.8 million, or 4.9% of loans receivable, at December 31, 2017. Non-performing acquired loans totaled$5.9 million and $6.4 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. When loans are acquired, they are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Acquired loans include purchased portfolios, FDIC failed-bank acquisitions, and unassisted acquisitions. Of the manufactured housing loans purchased prior to 2012, $48.0 million were supported by a $0.5 million cash reserve at September 30, 2018, compared to $51.9 million supported by a cash reserve of $0.6 million at December 31, 2017. 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 and any recoveries of those losses, as well as the proceeds from the sale of the repossessed properties securing the loans, are placed back into the reserve. For the manufactured housing loans purchased in 2012, the seller 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, 2018, $27.8 million of these loans were outstanding, compared to $31.4 million at December 31, 2017.
The price paid for acquired loans 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 $6.7 million (1.06% of total acquired loans) and $5.4 million (1.64% of total acquired loans) at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

These efforts along with the seasonalityled to increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits of the Disbursement business, resulted$0.3 billion, interest bearing demand deposits of $7.5 million, and savings, including MMDA, by $0.2 billion. These increases were offset in increases to nearly all deposit categories.

At September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Bank had $1.9$1.3 billion in state and municipal deposits to which it had pledged $1.3 billion of available borrowing capacity through the FHLB to the depositor through a letter of credit arrangement. At September 30, 2018, the balance of state and municipal deposits was $1.9 billion.


BORROWINGS

Borrowed funds from various sources are generally used to supplement deposit growth and meet other operating needs. Customers' borrowings generally include short-term and long-term advances from the FHLB, federal funds purchased, senior unsecured notes and subordinated debt. Subordinated debt is also considered as Tier 2 capital for certain regulatory calculations. As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, total outstanding borrowings were $1.1$1.6 billion and $2.1$1.7 billion, respectively, which represented a decrease of $1.0 billion,$21.1 million, or 48.2%1.3%. These repayments of borrowings are in line with Customers' strategy to reduce its cost of funding and focus on deposit growth in order to improve net interest margins. On July 31, 2018, the 6.375% senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $63.3 million issued by Customers Bancorp in July 2013 matured and were paid in full.

Shareholders’ equity increased $21.6 million, or 2.3%, to $978.4 million at March 31, 2019 when compared to shareholders' equity of $956.8 million at December 31, 2018. The primary components of the net increase were as follows:
net income of $15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019;
OCI of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, arising primarily from unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities;

issuance of common stock under share-based compensation arrangements of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The increases were offset in part by:
preferred stock dividends of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019; and
repurchases of shares of Customers' common stock totaling $0.6 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity for a financial institution is a measure of that institution’s ability to meet depositors’ needs for funds, to satisfy or fund loan and lease commitments, and for other operating purposes.  Ensuring adequate liquidity is an objective of the asset/liability management process. Customers coordinates its management of liquidity with its interest rate sensitivity and capital position, and strives to maintain a strong liquidity position.
Customers' investment portfolio provides periodic cash flows through regular maturities and amortization and can be used as collateral to secure additional liquidity funding. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, Customers had unpledged marketable investments of $481.8 million and $454.4 million, respectively. Customers' principal sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans and leases, other funds from operations, and proceeds from common and preferred stock issuances.  Borrowing arrangements are maintained with the Federal Home Loan BankFHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of PhiladelphiaFRB to meet short-term liquidity needs.  Longer-term borrowing arrangements are also maintained with the Federal Home Loan Bank.FHLB. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Customers' borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan BankFHLB was $4.5$4.2 billion, of which $0.8$1.0 billion was utilized in borrowings and $1.9$1.4 billion of available capacity was utilized to collateralize state and municipal deposits. As of December 31, 2017,2018, Customers' borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan BankFHLB was $4.3$4.1 billion, of which $1.6$1.2 billion was utilized in borrowings and $1.8$1.7 billion of available capacity was utilized to collateralize state and municipal deposits.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity increased $33.8 million, or 3.7%, to $954.8 million at September 30, 2018 when compared to shareholders' equity of $921.0 million at December 31, 2017. The primary components of the net increase were as follows:

The Bank and Customers 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 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.

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, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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 capital ratios above reflect the capital requirements under "Basel III" adopted effective first quarter 2015 and the capital conservation buffer phased in beginning January 1, 2016. Failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will result in limitations on capital distributions and on discretionary bonuses to executive officers. As of September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Bank and Customers Bancorp were in compliance with the Basel III requirements. See "NOTE 8 - REGULATORY CAPITAL" to Customers' unaudited financial statements for additional discussion regarding regulatory capital requirements.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
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 balance sheets.
With commitments to extend credit, exposures 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 or lease, commitments to extend credit are subject to the Bank’s credit policy and other underwriting standards.
As of September 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the following off-balance sheet commitments, financial instruments and other arrangements were outstanding:

Commitments to fund loans and leases, unfunded commitments to fund mortgage warehouse loans, unfunded commitments under lines of credit, letters of credit, and credit cards are agreements to extend credit to or for the benefit of a customer in the ordinary course of the Bank's business.
Commitments to fund loans and leases 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 and lease facilities to customers.

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 Customers' net income is net interest income, and the majority of its financial instruments are interest-rateinterest rate sensitive assets and liabilities with various term structures and maturities.  One of the primary objectives of management is to maximize net interest income while minimizing interest-rateinterest rate risk.  Interest-rateInterest 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.  Customers' asset/liability committee actively seeks to monitor and control the mix of interest-rateinterest rate sensitive assets and interest-rateinterest rate sensitive liabilities.
Customers uses two complementary methods to analyze and measure interest-rate sensitivity as part of the overall management of interest-rateinterest rate risk; they are income simulation 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-rateinterest rate risk of Customers' exposure to time factors and changes in interest-rateinterest rate environments.

Income simulation modeling is used to measure interest-rateinterest rate sensitivity and manage interest-rateinterest rate risk.  Income simulation 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 modeling, Customers has estimated the net interest income for the period ending September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, based upon the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments in existence at September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. 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, 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 and 200 basis points due to the limitations of the current low interest rate environment that renders the Down 200 and Down 300 rate shocks impractical. The downward rate shocks modeled will be revisited in the future if necessary and will be contingent upon additional Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The following table reflects the estimated percentage change in estimated net interest income for the period ending September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, resulting from changes in interest rates.
Net change in net interest income
Rate Shocks% Change
Up 3%(3.010.6)%
Up 2%(1.46.5)%
Up 1%(0.42.9)%
Down 1%(4.42.5) %
Down 2%4.3%
The net changes in net interest income in all scenarios are within Customers Bank's interest rate risk policy guidelines.
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, 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 and 200 basis points due to the limitations of the current low interest rate environment that renders the Down 200 and Down 300 rate shocks impractical. 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, 2018,March 31, 2019, resulting from shocks to interest rates.
Rate ShocksFrom base
Up 3%(21.218.7)%
Up 2%(12.810.6)%
Up 1%(5.74.3)%
Down 1%1.22.5 %
Down 2%4.5 %
The net changes in economic value of equityEVE in all scenarios are within Customers Bank's interest rate risk policy guidelines.

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 not effective at September 30, 2018 because of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting that resulted in the incorrect classification of cash flows used in and provided by Customers' commercial mortgage warehouse lending activities between operating and investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances were incorrectly classified as held for sale instead of held for investing on the consolidated balance sheets.
Revised Management's Report from the 2017 Form 10-K. Under the supervision and with the participation ofCustomers Bancorp’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Customers Bancorp's management assessed the effectiveness of Customers Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making that assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). Based on its initial evaluation under the COSO criteria, management concluded that Customers Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2017. Subsequently, in November 2018, management concluded that Customers Bancorp did not maintain effective controls over the appropriate classifications of cash flows used in and provided by its mortgage warehouse lending activities between operating and investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances were incorrectly classified as held for sale instead of held for investment on its consolidated balance sheets. On November 12, 2018, Customers Bancorp's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors authorized management to restate its previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for 2017, 2016, and 2015 and the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Accordingly, management has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted in the incorrect classifications of the cash flows used in and provided by its mortgage warehouse lending activities between operating and investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows because the related loan balances were incorrectly classified as held for sale instead of held for investment on its consolidated balance sheets constituted a material weakness as of December 31, 2017. Solely as a result of this material weakness, management has revised its earlier assessment and has now concluded that Customers Bancorp's internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017.2019.
Remediation Plan. Customers Bancorp conducted a comprehensive analysis of the classifications of cash flows within its consolidated statements of cash flows and established new accounting policies and disclosure control procedures for the classification and reporting of its mortgage warehouse lending transactions on the consolidated balance sheet and statements of cash flows. Management expects these efforts to remediate the identified material weakness and strengthen internal control over financial reporting. As management continues to evaluate and work to enhance internal control over financial reporting, it may determine that additional measures are required to address control deficiencies, strengthen internal control over financial reporting, or it may determine to modify the remediation plan described above.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, there have been no changes in Customers Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Customers Bancorp’s internal control over financial reporting. However, as described above, management did implement changes in internal control over financial reporting during fourth quarter 2018 designed to remediate a material weakness related to the classification and reporting of its mortgage warehouse lending transactions on its consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows.


Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The followingFor information supplements and amends our discussion set forth under Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Edelman Matter

On Aprilon Customers' legal proceedings, refer to “NOTE 13 2017, a class action complaint captioned Shaya Edelman, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Higher One Holdings, Inc., WEX Bank, Inc., and Customers Bancorp, Inc., Case 2:17-cv-01700-RBS, was filed in– LEGAL CONTINGENCIES” to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiff generally alleged, among other things, violations of state consumer protection statutes and federal public policy promulgated in the Higher Education Act, Department of Education Regulations, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, Regulation E and various common law violations through the offering and use of the Higher One checking account and debit card. Customers Bank, Higher One Holdings, Inc. and Wex Bank, Inc. filed a motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings.  On August 28, 2018, as a result of the Parties’ voluntary resolution of the matter, the Court entered an order dismissing the case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(A).

United States Department of Education Matter

In third quarter 2018, Customers received a Final Program Review Determination ("FPRD") letter dated September 5, 2018 from the United States Department of Education (the "DOE") regarding a focused program review of Higher One's/Customers Bank's administration, as a third party servicer, of the programs authorized pursuant to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The DOE program review covered the award years beginning in 2013 through the FPRD issuance date, including the time period when Higher One was acting as the third party servicer prior to Customers' acquisition of the Disbursement business on June 15, 2016. The FPRD determined that, with respect to students enrolled at specified partner institutions, Higher One/Customers did not provide convenient fee-free access to ATMs or bank branch offices in such locations as required by the DOE’s cash management regulations. Those regulations, which were in effect during the period covered by the program review and were revised during that period, seek, among other purposes, to ensure that students can make fee-free cash withdrawals.  The FPRD determined that students incurred prohibited costs in accessing Title IV credit balance funds, and the FPRD classifies those costs asconsolidated financial liabilities of Customers. The FPRD also requires Customers to take prospective action to increase ATM access for students at certain of its partner institutions. Customers disagrees with the FPRD and has elected to appeal the FPRD, including the asserted financial liabilities, and a request for review has been submitted to trigger an administrative process before the DOE’s Office of Hearing and Appeals. Customers intends to vigorously defend itself against the financial liabilities established in the FPRD through that administrative appeals process and it further intends to pursue resolution of the FPRD’s prospective action requirements during the appeals resolution process. Customers is currently unable to predict the outcome of the appeal and resolution efforts, and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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 20172018 Form 10-K. Set forth belowThere are no material changes from the risk factors that supplement or amend certain factors discussed in “Risk Factors” included within the 20172018 Form 10-K and additional factors that you should carefully consider. As previously disclosed, the agreement between Customers and Flagship relating to the planned spin-off and merger of BankMobile was terminated on October 18, 2018.  As a result, the risks discussed in the Form 10-K relating to the planned spin-off and merger of BankMobile should be considered in the context of such termination and Customers’ current intention to retain and operate BankMobile, as discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

10-K. The risks described within the 20172018 Form 10-K 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.”



Our business and future success may suffer if we are unable to continue to successfully implement our strategy for BankMobile.
The effective use of technology can increase efficiency and enable financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. However, some new technologies, including BankMobile, are not fully tested, and we may incur substantial expenses and devote significant management time and resources in order for BankMobile to compete effectively. Revenue generated from BankMobile’s no-fee or very-low-fee banking strategy may not perform as well as we expect or enhance the value of our business as a whole, and it could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the anticipated benefits of our White Label program may not be realized to the extent forecasted, or Customers may incur substantial expenses in the operation of the White Label program that outweigh the benefits realized, if any, which could have a material and adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. Also, if the benefits of BankMobile do not meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of our common stock may decline.
While we retain and operate BankMobile, we will continue to face the risks and challenges associated with the BankMobile business.
As long as we retain and operate BankMobile, we will continue to face the risks and challenges associated with the BankMobile business, including those relating to the integration of the Disbursement business and the successful launch and operation of the White Label program. We cannot assure you that we will be able to address and manage these risks so as to preserve or increase the value of BankMobile, and any failure to preserve or increase the value of BankMobile could adversely affect the business of Customers as a whole and our ability to otherwise dispose of BankMobile on favorable terms, or at all.
If our total assets exceed $10 billion while we retain and operate BankMobile, 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 of each year, 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 could result in the BankMobile segment operating unprofitably or charging additional fees to students to replace the lost revenue. Customers expects total assets to be under $10 billion by December 31, 2018 through the normal seasonality of the mortgage warehouse business, which tends to decline in the winter months. If our total assets exceed $10 billion as of December 31, 2018, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Planned changes in the composition of our loan portfolio may expose us to increased lending risks.
As we continue to maintain our assets at $10 billion or less, we intend to continue emphasizing the origination of commercial loans, including specialty loans and loans to mortgage banking businesses while deemphasizing our multi-family loan portfolio. Our focus will be on funding commercial and industrial and consumer loan growth with the run-off of our multi-family loan portfolio. Changes in the composition of our loan portfolio could have a significant adverse effect on our overall credit profile, which could result in a higher percentage of non-accrual loans, increased provision for loan losses, and an increased level of net charge-offs, all of which could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Consumer loans are particularly affected by economic conditions, including interest rates, the rate of unemployment, housing prices, the level of consumer confidence, changes in consumer spending, and the number of personal bankruptcies. A weakening in business or economic conditions, including higher unemployment levels or declines in home prices could adversely affect borrowers' ability to repay their loans, which could negatively impact our credit performance.


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On November 26, 2013, Customers announced that the BoardBancorp's board of Directors haddirectors authorized a stock repurchase plan in which the Bancorp could acquire up to 5% of its then current outstanding shares at prices not to exceed a 20% premium over the then current book value. On December 11, 2018, the Bancorp's board of directors amended the terms of the 2013 stock repurchase plan to adjust the repurchase terms and book value measurement date such that Customers is authorized to purchase shares of common stock at prices not to exceed the book value per share of Customers' common stock measured as of September 30, 2018. The repurchase program has no expiration date but may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Bancorp has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the program. As of March 31, 2019, there are no remaining authorized shares for stock repurchases under this program.
DuringCommon stock repurchase activity during the threefirst quarter 2019 was as follow:

Dividends of Common Stock
Customers Bancorp historically has not paid any cash dividends on its shares of common stock and nine months ended September 30, 2018,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 did not repurchase anyBancorp’s board of its shares. The maximumdirectors 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 availableof preferred stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
In addition, as a bank holding company, Customers Bancorp is 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 purchased underpaid will be limited to the plan is 750,551 shares.extent the Bank's capital ratios do not exceed the minimum required levels plus 250 basis points, as these requirements are phased in through January 1, 2019.
