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. The December 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Customers Bancorp’s audited 2018 consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for the periods presented. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 consolidated financial statements of Customers Bancorp and subsidiaries included in Customers' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019 (the "2018 Form 10-K"). The 2018 Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s significant accounting policies, which include its policies on Principles of Consolidation; Cash and Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows; Restrictions on Cash and Amounts due from Banks; Business Combinations; Investment Securities; Loan Accounting Framework; Loans Held for Sale and Loans at Fair Value; Loans Receivable - Mortgage Warehouse, at Fair Value; Loans Receivable; Purchased Loans; ALLL; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets; FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank, and Other Restricted Stock; OREO; BOLI; Bank Premises and Equipment; Lessor Operating Leases; Treasury Stock; Income Taxes; Share-Based Compensation; Transfer of Financial Assets; Segment Information; Derivative Instruments and Hedging; Comprehensive Income (Loss); EPS; Loss Contingencies; and Collaborative Arrangements. There have been no material changes to Customers Bancorp's significant accounting policies noted above for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, with the exception of the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases as described below in accounting standards adopted in 2019.2019 and the election of the fair value option, upon acquisition on June 28, 2019, for certain interest-only classes of Ginnie Mae guaranteed home equity conversion mortgage-backed securities ("interest-only GNMA securities") that served as the primary collateral for loans made to one commercial mortgage warehouse customer, as further described in NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES. As the interest-only GNMA securities are carried at their current fair value, changes in fair value are reported in non-interest income. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year.

Presented below are recently issued accounting standards that Customers has adopted as well as those that the FASB has issued but are not yet effective.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019
Standard Summary of guidance Effects on Financial Statements
     
ASU 2016-02,
Leases

Issued February 2016

 
Ÿ  Supersedes the lease accounting guidance for both lessees and lessors under ASC 840, Leases.
Ÿ  From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a ROU model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.
Ÿ  Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees.
Ÿ  This ASU requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to the existing guidance for sales-type, direct financing leases and operating leases.
Ÿ  Effective January 1, 2019.
Ÿ  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” which provides lessees the option to apply the new leasing standard to all open leases as of the adoption date. Prior to this ASU issuance, a modified retrospective transition approach was required.
Ÿ  In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 "Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors," which provides lessors a policy election to not evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor costs or lessee costs. Additionally, the update requires certain lessors to exclude from variable payments lessor costs paid by lessees directly to third parties.
Ÿ  In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 "Codification Improvements," which clarifies that lessors who are not manufacturers or dealers should use the original cost of the underlying asset in a lease as its fair value. Additionally, the update states that lessors who are depository or lending institutions within the scope of ASC 942 should present all principal payments received under leases under investing activities in their Statement of Cash Flows and that interim disclosures under ASC 250-10-50-3 are not required in the interim reports of issuers adopting ASC 842.
 
Ÿ  Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.
Ÿ  The adoption did not materially change Customers' recognition of operating lease expense in its consolidated statements of income.
Ÿ  Customers adopted certain practical expedients available under the new guidance, which did not require it to (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, (3) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases, (4) separate non-lease components from the associated lease components, (5) evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor costs, and (6) capitalize short-term leases. Additionally, Customers elected to apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date, rather than at the beginning of the earliest period presented and will continue to present comparative periods prior to January 1, 2019 under Topic 840. Customers did not adopt the hindsight practical expedient.
Ÿ  The adoption of the ASU for Customers' lessor equipment finance business did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations, and consolidated financial statements.
Ÿ See NOTE 7 - LEASES.
     
ASU 2017-08,
Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities

Issued March 2017
 
Ÿ  Requires that premiums for certain callable debt securities held be amortized to their earliest call date.
Ÿ  Effective on January 1, 2019.
Ÿ  Adoption of this new guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective approach.
 
Ÿ  Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.
Ÿ  The adoption did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.
     

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019 (continued)
Standard Summary of guidance Effects on Financial Statements
     
ASU 2017-11,
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 EPS.
Ÿ  Effective January 1, 2019.
 
Ÿ  Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.
Ÿ  The adoption did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.
     
ASU 2018-07,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

Issued June 2018

 
Ÿ  Expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services.
Ÿ  Applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services from non-employees to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.
Ÿ  With the amended guidance from ASU 2018-07, non-employees share-based payments are measured with an estimate of the fair value of the equity the business is obligated to issue at the grant date (the date that the business and the stock award recipient agree to the terms of the award).
Ÿ  Compensation would be recognized in the same period and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for goods or services instead of stock.
Ÿ  Effective January 1, 2019.
 
Ÿ  Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.
Ÿ  The adoption did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments
Issued April 2019
 
Ÿ  Clarifies the scope of the credit losses standard and addresses issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates, and prepayments.
Ÿ  Addresses partial-term fair value hedges, fair value hedge basis adjustments and certain transition requirements.
Ÿ  Addresses recognizing and measuring financial instruments, specifically the requirement for remeasurement under ASC 820 when using the measurement alternative, certain disclosure requirements and which equity securities have to be remeasured at historical exchange rates.
Ÿ  Topic 326 Amendments - Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted. Topic 815 Amendments - Effective for first annual period beginning after the issuance date of this ASU (i.e., fiscal year 2020). Entities that have already adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12 may elect either to retrospectively apply all the amendments or to prospectively apply all amendments as of the date of adoption. Topic 825 Amendments - Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
 
Ÿ  Customers is currently evaluating the expected impact of this ASU on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.
     
ASU 2018-18,
Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606

Issued November 2018

 
Ÿ  Clarifies that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements.
Ÿ  Adds unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within scope of Topic 606.
Ÿ  Requires that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.
Ÿ  Effective for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption permitted.

 
Ÿ  Customers is currently evaluating the expected impact of this ASU on its financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

Issued August 2018

ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Issued June 2016

 
Ÿ  Requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the CECL model to estimate lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset (including held to maturityheld-to-maturity debt securities), presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.
Ÿ  Replaces today's "incurred loss" approach and is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses.
Ÿ  For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances for credit losses rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the OTTI model, and will be allowed to reverse previously established allowances in the event the credit of the issuer improves.
Ÿ  Simplifies the accounting model for PCI debt securities and loans.

On June 28, 2019, Customers obtained ownership of certain interest-only classes of Ginnie Mae guaranteed home equity conversion mortgage-backed securities ("interest-only GNMA securities") that served as the primary collateral for loans made to one commercial mortgage warehouse customer through a Uniform Commercial Code private sale transaction. In connection with the acquisition of the interest-only GNMA securities, Customers recognized a pre-tax loss of $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 for the shortfall in the fair value of the interest-only GNMA securities compared to its credit exposure to this commercial mortgage warehouse customer. On June 28, 2019, Customers elected the fair value option for these interest-only GNMA securities acquired on such date. The fair value of these securities at June 30, 2019 was $17.2 million.

There were no sales of available-for-sale debt securities or equity securities for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018.
    


The following table shows available-for-sale debt securities by stated maturity.  Debt securities backed by mortgages and interest-only GNMA securities have expected maturities that differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay and, therefore, these debt securities are classified separately with no specific maturity date:

At March 31,June 30, 2019, there were fourno available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses in the less-than-twelve-month category and twenty-twoseven 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 since the time of purchase that resulted in a negative impact on the respective note'ssecurity'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.
At March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Customers Bank had pledged investment securities aggregating $22.9$22.6 million and $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.
At March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no securities holding of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, amounted to greater than 10% of shareholders' equity.

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 20under 30 days from purchase to sale. The primary goal of these lending transactions is to provide liquidity to mortgage companies.
At March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, all of Customers' commercial mortgage warehouse loans were current in terms of payment. As these loans are reported at their fair value, they do not have an allowance for loan and lease loss and are therefore excluded from ALLL relatedALLL-related disclosures.

(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 ALLL.
(5)ManufacturedCertain manufactured housing loans purchased in 2010 are supported by cash reserves held at the Bank thatof $0.4 million and $0.5 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are used to fund past-due payments when the loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent. Each quarter, these funds are evaluated to determine if they would be sufficient to absorb the probable incurred losses within the manufactured housing portfolio.
As of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank had $0.4$0.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of residential real estate held in OREO. As of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank had initiated foreclosure proceedings on $1.4$0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, in loans secured by residential real estate.

Certain manufactured housing loans were purchased in August 2010. A portion of the purchase price may be used to reimburse the Bank under the specified terms in the purchase agreement for defaults of the underlying borrower and other specified items. At both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, funds available for reimbursement, if necessary, were $0.5 million. Each quarter, these funds are evaluated to determine if they would be sufficient to absorb the probable incurred losses within the manufactured housing portfolio.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
At March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $19.6$19.0 million and $19.2 million, respectively, in loans reported as 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 PCI loans that are accounted for within loan pools in accordance with the accounting standards for PCI 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 TDRhad no lease receivables that had been restructured as a TDR as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The following table presents total TDRs based on loan type and accrual status at March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Nonaccrual TDRs are included in the reported amount of total non-accrual loans.

Loans modified in TDRs are evaluated for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of TDRs, including those which have experienced a subsequent default, is considered in the determination of an appropriate level of ALLL. There were no allowances recorded as a result of TDR modifications during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Credit Quality Indicators
The ALLL represents management's estimate of probable losses in Customers' loans and leases receivable portfolio, excluding commercial mortgage warehouse loans reported at fair value 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 ALLL 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 and leases.
The 2018 Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s 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,grades.

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 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, other consumer loans, 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 and 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 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 asis 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.loans and leases receivable.
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 and are presented in other assets. The depreciation expense of the leased assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the leases up to theirthe 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 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 was phased in over four years beginning on January 1, 2016, with a maximum buffer of 0.625% of risk weighted assets for 2016, 1.250% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.500% for 2019 and thereafter.
Effective January 1, 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 7.000%;
(ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.500%; and
(iii) a Total risk-based capital ratio of 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
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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 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 and debt securities reported at fair value based on a fair value option election are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized and foreign securities exchanges (Level 1), quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2), and matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices, or internally and externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3). 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.
Loans held for sale - consumer residential mortgage loans (fair value option):
Customers generally estimates the fair values of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

Loans receivable - commercial 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 primarily 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 generally 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 20under 30 days from purchase to sale. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Derivatives (assets and 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 Customers and its counterparties. These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
The fair values of the residential mortgage loan commitments are derived from the estimated fair values that can be generated when the underlying mortgage loan is sold in the secondary market. Customers generally uses commitments on hand from 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 Customers' 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.
Other real estate owned:
The fair value of other real estate owned ("OREO") is determined by using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions or sales agreements with third parties. All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Appraisals are certified to the Bank and performed by appraisers on the Bank’s approved list of appraisers. Evaluations are completed by a person independent of management. The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property. Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”. These assets are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.


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

There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 on a recurring and nonrecurring basis for which Customers utilized Level 3 inputs to measure fair value. The unobservable Level 3 inputs noted below contain a level of uncertainty that may differ from what is realized in an immediate settlement of the assets. Therefore, Customers may realize a value higher or lower than the current estimated fair value of the assets. On June 28, 2019, Customers obtained ownership of interest-only GNMA securities that served as the primary collateral for loans made to one commercial mortgage warehouse customer through a Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") private sale transaction. On June 28, 2019, Customers elected the fair value option for these interest-only GNMA securities acquired on such date. The fair value of these securities at June 30, 2019 was $17.2 million which reflects the valuation obtained from the third party binding bids obtained through the UCC private sale transaction. Customers corroborated the third party binding bids through internally developed discounted cash flow modeling.  The significant unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow modeling include prepayment speeds and discount rates.  Customers will mark these securities to fair value on a quarterly basis, with changes in fair value reported in non-interest income.

Customers will mark these securities to fair value on a quarterly basis, with changes in fair value reported in non-interest income.

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 AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transactionitem affects earnings. To date, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuances of debt.debt and a certain variable-rate deposit relationship.
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 AOCI are reclassified immediately into earnings and any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.
Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Customers' variable-rate debt.debt and a variable-rate deposit relationship. Customers expects to reclassify $1.0$4.5 million from AOCI 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) and a variable-rate deposit relationship over a maximum period of 6360 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments).
At March 31,June 30, 2019, Customers had fivefour outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $675.0$725.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. At December 31, 2018, Customers had six outstanding interest rate derivatives with

notional amounts totaling $750.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The outstanding cash flow hedges at March 31,June 30, 2019 expire between April 2019June, 2021 and July, 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 March 31,June 30, 2019, andCustomers had 116 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion related to this program. At December 31, 2018, Customers had 98 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Customers had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan commitments of $5.8$8.1 million and $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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Customers had outstanding notional balances of credit derivatives of $115.8$115.1 million and $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.

NOTE 11 — BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Customers' segment financial reporting reflects the manner in which its chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance. Management has determined that Customers' operations consist of two reportable segments - Customers Bank Business Banking and BankMobile. Each segment generates revenues, manages risk, and offers distinct products and services to targeted customers through different delivery channels. The strategy, marketing, and analysis of these segments vary considerably.
The Customers Bank Business Banking segment is delivered predominately to commercial customers in Southeastern Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Washington D.C., and Illinois through a single-point-of-contact business model and provides liquidity to residential mortgage originators nationwide through commercial loans to mortgage companies. Lending and deposit gathering activities are focused primarily on privately held businesses, high-net-worth families, selected commercial real estate lending, commercial mortgage 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 BOLI.
The BankMobile segment provides state-of-the-art high-tech digital banking and disbursement services to consumers, students, and the "under banked" nationwide, along with "Banking as a Service" offerings with white label partners. BankMobile is a full-service fintech banking platform that is accessible to customers anywhere and anytime through the customer's smartphone or other web-enabled device. Revenues are currently being generated primarily through interchange and card revenue, deposit and wire transfer fees and university fees. The majority of revenue and expenses for BankMobile are related to the segment's operation of the ongoing business acquired through the Disbursement business acquisition and costs associated with the development of white label products for its partners.
The following tables present the operating results for Customers' reportable business segments for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018. The segment financial results include directly attributable revenues and expenses. Consistent with the presentation of segment results to Customers' chief operating decision makers, overhead costs and preferred stock dividends are assigned to the Customers Bank Business Banking segment. The tax benefit assigned to BankMobile was based on an estimated effective tax rate of 23.15% for 2019 and 24.56%24.57% for 2018, respectively.

Customers Bank, Robert B.White, Richard A. Ehst, Thomas Jastrem, Timothy D. Romig, Andrew Bowman, Michael Fuoco, Saldutti Law Group f/k/a Saldutti, LLC a/k/a Saldutti Law, LLC, Robert L. Saldutti, LLC, Robert L. Saldutti, Esquire, Brian J. Schaffer, Esquire, Robert Lieber, Jr., Esquire, Jay Sidhu, James Zardecki, Zardecki Associates LLC, No. 01419 in the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania, Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, Trial Division. In this Second Amended Complaint, the Plaintiffs generally allege that Customers Bank, and the other named defendants, conspired to misuse the legal

system for improper purposes and it also alleges defamation, false light, tortious interference with contractual relations, infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress and loss of consortium. On January 6, 2017, Customers Bank filed Preliminary Objections to the Complaint seeking dismissal of the Plaintiff’s claims against Customers Bank and the employees of Customers Bank named as co-defendants. On April 6, 2017, the Court dismissed certain counts and determined to allow certain other counts to proceed. Customers Bank intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations but is currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.

Lifestyle Healthcare Group, Inc. Matter
On January 9, 2017, Lifestyle Healthcare Group, Inc., et al (“Plaintiffs”) filed a Complaint captioned Lifestyle Healthcare Group, Inc.; Fred Rappaport; Victoria Rappaport; Lifestyle Management Group, LLC Trading as Lifestyle Real Estate I, LP; Lifestyle Real Estate I GP, LLC; Daniel Muck; Lifestyle Management Group, LLC; Lifestyle Management Group, LLC Trading as Lifestyle I, LP D/B/A Lifestyle Medspa, Plaintiffs v. Customers Bank, Robert White; Saldutti Law, LLC a/k/a Saldutti Law Group; Robert L. Saldutti, Esquire; and Michael Fuoco, Civil Action No. 01206, in the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania, Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia. In this Complaint, which is related to the Halbreiner Matter described above, the Plaintiffs generally allege wrongful use of civil proceedings and abuse of process in connection with a case filed and later dismissed in federal court, titled, Customers Bank v. Fred Rappaport, et al., U.S.D.C.E.D. Pa., No. 15-6145. On January 30, 2017, Customers Bank filed Preliminary Objections to the Complaint seeking dismissal of Plaintiff’s claims against Customers Bank and Robert White, named as co-defendants. In response to the Preliminary Objections, Lifestyle filed an Amended Complaint against Customers Bank and Robert White. Customers Bank has filed Preliminary Objections to the Second Amended Complaint seeking dismissal of Plaintiff's claim against Customers Bank and Robert White, named as co-defendants. The Court has dismissed certain counts and determined to allow certain other counts to proceed. Customers Bank intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations but is currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.
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.

Bureau of the Fiscal Service Notice of Direct Debit (U.S. Treasury Check Reclamation)
On June 21, 2019, Customers received a Notice of Direct Debit (U.S. Treasury Check Reclamation) from the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (“Reclamation Notice”).  The Reclamation Notice represents a demand to Customers for the return of funds on a U.S. Treasury check for approximately $5.4 million.  Customers filed a written protest pursuant to Code of Federal Regulations, Title 31, Chapter II, Part 240, which resulted in a suspension of the direct debit by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.  Customers is currently unable to predict the outcome of the written protest, and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of loss. Customers intends to vigorously defend itself against the Reclamation Notice.   Customers does not believe that this matter will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

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 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION” in Customers' audited financial statements included in its 2018 Form 10-K and updated in this Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31,June 30, 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
Customers' strategic priorities include creating shareholder value through improved profitability, targeting a return on average assets of approximately 1.25% and a double-digit return on tangible common equity within the next 2 - 3 years. Customers is also targeting NIM expansion to 2.75% or greater2.80% by fourth quarter 2019, with a full yearfull-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 the average balance of interest-earningsinterest-earning assets for 2019 are expected to be comparable to 2018 average interest-earning assets, and the BankMobile segment is expected to become profitable inby the fourth quarter 2019. Customers intends to deemphasizecontinue to de-emphasize its lower-yielding multi-family loan portfolio, and invest in higher-yielding commercial and industrial and other 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. On April 18, 2019, the partner made a public announcement regarding the

partnership and began the first phase of national digital marketing efforts. At March 31,June 30, 2019, the partnership had generated over $11.0$46.5 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 expects significant account openings and deposit growth through the remainder of 2019.deposits.
FirstSecond Quarter Events of Note
Customers reported net income available to common shareholders of $11.8$5.7 million, or $0.38$0.18 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019. The second quarter 2019 financial results included certain notable charges, including a $7.5 million loss realized upon the acquisition of certain interest-only GNMA securities that served as the primary collateral for a mortgage warehouse customer that unexpectedly ceased operations in second quarter 2019 ($0.18 per diluted share), accrued severance expense of $0.5 million resulting from Customers continued analysis of staffing and de-emphasis of less profitable lines of business ($0.01 per diluted share), and other securities losses of $0.3 million ($0.01 per diluted share). NIM expanded 5 basis points from first quarter 2019 to 2.64% in second quarter 2019, which marks Customers' third consecutive quarter of NIM expansion from the trough of 2.47% reported in third quarter 2018.
Total assets were $10.1$11.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.3$1.3 billion from December 31, 2018. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by a $0.2$1.2 billion increase in total loans and leases. CommercialMortgage warehouse loans, at fair value, increased $596.1 million, or 42.4%, commercial and industrial loans (including owner occupied commercial real estate) increased $87.0$233.3 million, or 4.5%12.0%, commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans increased $51.5 million, or 4.6%, residential real estate loans increased $58.5$82.3 million, or 10.3%14.5%, and other consumer loans increased $79.1$478.8 million, or 107%647%. As planned, multi-family loans decreased $73.0 million.$267.8 million, or 8.2%. Total asset growth reflected a stronger than expected seasonal increase in mortgage warehouse loans in second quarter 2019 primarily resulting from increased refinancing activity. Customers plans to reduce total assets to below $10 billion at year-end 2019 by reducing its multi-family loan portfolio by $1 billion or more in the second half of 2019 and through normal seasonality of the mortgage warehouse business, which tends to decline in the winter months.
Asset quality remained exceptionalremains strong with NPLs of $22.8$14.8 million, or 0.26%0.15% of total loans and leases, and total non-performing assets (NPLs and OREO) only 0.23%0.14% of total assets at March 31,June 30, 2019, reflecting Customers' conservative lending practices and continued focus on credit risk management. Customers' level of NPLs to total loans and leases at March 31,June 30, 2019 remained well below industry average NPLs to total loans and leases of 1.11%1.13% and Customers' peer group NPLs to total loans and leases of 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 March 31, 2019. Customers Bancorp's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.01%, and its total risk-based capital ratio was 12.92%, at March 31,June 30, 2019.

NIM expanded by two basis points to 2.64% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 primarily resulted from a reduction of $0.6 billion in average interest-earning assets, and the narrowing of NIM by eight basis points to 2.59%2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 from 2.67%June 30, 2018 as the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets drove a 38 basis point increase in the yield on interest-earnings assets for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The NIM compression was primarily drivenJune 30, 2019, offset in part by higher funding costs as the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 6951 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 comparedJune 30, 2019. Compared to the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, total loan yields increased 27 basis points to 4.62%, and total investment securities yields increased 55 basis points to 3.77% mostly due to the sale of $495 million of lower-yielding securities during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Given the four Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2018 and the associated increases in market interest rates, the cost of totalinterest-bearing deposits increased 6258 basis points to 1.75 %2.23% and borrowing costs increased 73 basis points to 2.98%3.09% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019.

The 456 basis point increase in the yield on other consumer loans principally reflects the purchase of other consumer loans totaling $447.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The yield on commercial and industrial loans and leases increased 61 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2019 given higher market interest rates. Given the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2018 and the associated increases in market interest rates, the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 67 basis points to 2.19% and borrowing costs increased 73 basis points to 3.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Customers' total costs of deposits (including interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing) were 1.80% and 1.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of 54 basis points.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $64.7 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 3.9%, from net interest income of $67.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease primarily resulted from a $0.5 billion reduction in average interest-earning assets, offset in part by two basis points of NIM expansion. Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, total loan yields increased 27 basis points to 4.62%. Total investment securities yields increased 55 basis points to 3.77% mostly due to the sale of $495 million of lower-yielding securities in third quarter 2018. Given the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2018

and the associated increases in market interest rates, the cost of total deposits and borrowings increased 37 basis points to 2.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, up from 1.67% for the same period in the prior year.

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 primarily 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, they do not have an allowance for loan and lease losses and are therefore excluded from allowance for loan and lease losses related disclosures. At March 31,June 30, 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 obtaining financial and other relevant information to reduce these risks during the lending period. Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value totaled $1.5$2.0 billion and $1.4 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
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 ALLL. Credit losses are charged-off when they are identified, and provisions are added when it is estimated that a loss has occurred, to the ALLL at least quarterly. The ALLL is estimated at least quarterly.
The provision for loan and lease losses was $4.8$5.3 million and $2.1a benefit of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.respectively, and $10.1 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The ALLL maintained for loans and leases receivable (excluding loans held for sale and loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value) was $43.7$48.4 million, or 0.60%0.63% of loans and leases receivable, at March 31,June 30, 2019 and $40.0 million, or 0.56% of loans and leases receivable, at December 31, 2018. Net charge-offs were $1.1$0.6 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.4$0.2 million compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in net charge-offs period over period was mainly driven by

higher net charge-offs in the multi-familyother consumer loan portfolio, partially offset by lower net charge-offs in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate owner occupied loan portfolios. Net charge-offs were $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.6 million compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in net charge-offs period over period was mainly driven by higher net charge-offs in the other consumer and multi-family loan portfolios, partially offset by lower net charge-offs in the residentialcommercial and industrial and commercial real estate owner occupied loan portfolio.portfolios.

(1)Charge-offs and recoveries on PCI loans that are accounted for in pools are recognized on a net basis when the pool matures.
The ALLL 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 ALLL. Refer to Critical Accounting Policies herein and NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION to Customers' audited financial statements in its 2018 Form 10-K for further discussion on management's methodology for estimating the ALLL.
Approximately 80%79% 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, primarily in the valueform of the collateral.a first lien position. 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 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 segments the loan and lease receivables by loan product or other characteristic generally defining a shared characteristic with other loans in the same group. Credit losses from originated loans and leases are absorbed by the ALLL. Credit losses from acquired loans are absorbed by the ALLL, nonaccretable difference fair value marks and cash reserves. The schedule that follows includes both loans held for sale and loans held for investment.

Total deposits were $7.4$8.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.3$1.0 billion, or 4.0%14.6%, from $7.1 billion at December 31, 2018. Transaction deposits increased by $0.5 billion,$339.6 million, or 8.5%6.3%, to $5.9$5.7 billion at March 31,June 30, 2019, from $5.4 billion at December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily driven byresulted from Customers' initiative to improve its net interest margin by expanding its sources of lower-cost funding. These efforts led to increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $0.3 billion,$258.5 million, and interest bearing demand deposits of $7.5 million, and savings, including MMDA, by $0.2 billion.$121.2 million. These increases were offset in part by a decrease in time depositssavings, including MMDA of $0.2 billion,$40.1 million, or 10.1%1.2%, to $1.6$3.4 billion at MarchJune 30, 2019, from $3.5 billion at December 31, 2018. Time deposits increased $703.9 million, or 40.6%, to $2.4 billion at June 30, 2019, from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2018.
At March 31,June 30, 2019, the Bank had $1.3$1.9 billion in state and municipal deposits to which it had pledged $1.3$1.9 billion of available borrowing capacity through the FHLB to the depositor through a letter of credit arrangement.


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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total outstanding borrowings were $1.6$1.9 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, which represented a decreasean increase of $21.1$208.3 million, or 1.3%12.5%. In June 2019, $25.0 million of senior notes bearing an annual interest rate of 4.625%, which were originally issued in June 2014 by the Bancorp, matured and were repaid in full.

primarily resulted from net income of $15.4$24.7 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2019;
OCIJune 30, 2019, a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of $7.7$12.7 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, arising primarily from unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities;
share-based compensation expenseand increases of $2.1$4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019;in additional paid in capital and
issuance of $0.2 million in common stock, under share-based compensation arrangements of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The increases werepartially offset in part by:
by preferred stock dividends of $3.6$7.2 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2019;June 30, 2019 and
repurchases of shares of Customers' common stock totaling $0.6 million. The reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net primarily resulted from an increase in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities, partially offset by a decline in the fair value of cash flow hedges, both due to the decline in market interest rates during the year. The increases in additional paid in capital and common stock resulted primarily from the issuance of common stock under share-based compensation arrangements for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
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. 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 FHLB and the FRB to meet short-term liquidity needs.  Longer-term borrowing arrangements are also maintained with the FHLB. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, Customers' borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $4.2 billion, of which $1.0$1.3 billion was utilized in borrowings and $1.4$2.0 billion of available capacity was utilized to collateralize state and municipal deposits. As of December 31, 2018, Customers' borrowing capacity with the FHLB was $4.1 billion, of which $1.2 billion was utilized in borrowings and $1.7 billion of available capacity was utilized to collateralize state and municipal deposits. As of March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Customers' borrowing capacity with the FRB was $148.3$129.7 million and $102.5 million, respectively.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 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 March 31,June 30, 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.sheet.
With commitments to extend credit, exposuresexposure 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 March 31,June 30, 2019 and December 31, 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 rate sensitive assets and liabilities with various term structures and maturities.  One of the primary objectives of management is to maximizeoptimize net interest income while minimizing interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals and differences in lending and funding rates.  Customers' asset/liability committee actively seeks to monitor and control the mix of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities.
Customers uses two complementary methods to analyze and measure interest-rateinterest rate sensitivity as part of the overall management of interest rate risk; they are income simulation modeling and estimates of EVE.  The combination of these two methods provides a reasonably comprehensive summary of the levels of interest rate risk of Customers' exposure to time factors and changes in interest rate environments.

Income simulation modeling is used to measure interest rate sensitivity and manage interest 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 periodperiods ending MarchJune 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020,2019, based upon the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments in existence at MarchJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019.2018. 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 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 periodperiods ending MarchJune 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020,2019, resulting from changes in interest rates.

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 decreased immediately by 100 and 200 basis points due to the limitations of the current low interest rate environment that renders the 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 MarchJune 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019,2018, resulting from shocks to interest rates.

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.

Dividends ofon Common Stock
Customers Bancorp historically has not paid any cash dividends on its shares of common stock and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.
Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of Customers Bancorp’s board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to our common stock, including obligations to pay dividends to the holders of Customers Bancorp's issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
In addition, as a bank holding company, Customers Bancorp is subject to general regulatory restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. Federal bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business, which, depending on the financial condition and liquidity of the holding company at the time, could include the payment of dividends. Further, various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that bank subsidiaries can pay to their parent holding company without regulatory approval. Generally, subsidiaries are prohibited from paying dividends when doing so would cause them to fall below the regulatory minimum capital levels, and limits exist on paying dividends in excess of net income for specified periods.
Beginning January 1, 2015, the ability to pay dividends and the amounts that can be paid will be limited to the extent the Bank's capital ratios do not exceed the minimum required levels plus 250 basis points, as these requirements arewere phased in through January 1, 2019.
