~~Accounting and Reporting Considerations related to COVID-19~~

~~Accounting for PPP Loans~~

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

~~Loan Modifications~~

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

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there were ~~160~~140 AFS debt securities with unrealized losses in the less-than-twelve-months category and 157 AFS debt securities with unrealized loss in the twelve-months-or-more category. Except for the 4 asset-backed securities where there was a deterioration in future estimated cash flows as further discussed below, the unrealized losses were principally due to changes in market interest rates that resulted in a negative impact on the respective securities' fair value and are expected to be recovered when market prices recover or at maturity. Customers does not intend to sell any of the ~~175~~147 securities, and it is not more likely than not that Customers will be required to sell any of the ~~175~~147 securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis. At December 31, 2021, there were 117 AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position.

Table of Contents

Customers recorded an allowance for credit losses on 4 asset-backed securities where there was a deterioration in future estimated cash flows during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. A discounted cash flow approach is used to determine the amount of the allowance. The cash flows expected to be collected, after considering expected prepayments, are discounted at the original effective interest rate. The amount of the allowance is limited to the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its estimated fair value.

Investment securities held to maturity

In June 2022, Customers transferred $500.2 million in net carrying value of certain debt securities from available for sale to held to maturity as a part of Customers' ongoing asset liability management primarily to mitigate the impact of rising interest rates on the long duration component of the investment portfolio. At the time of transfer to held to maturity, these debt securities had unrealized losses of $50.0 million, which, along with the unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income, will be amortized over the remaining terms of the securities as an adjustment to yield (interest income) using the effective interest method resulting in no impact to current period earnings.

(1)Accrued interest on HTM debt securities totaled $0.7 million at June 30, 2022, and is included in accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

The following table presents HTM debt securities by stated maturity. Debt securities backed by mortgages and other assets 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:

Total held to maturity debt securities	$	495,039	$	485,635

Customers recorded no allowance for credit losses on investment securities classified as held to maturity at June 30, 2022. The U.S. government agency securities represent obligations issued by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or other federal government agency that are explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. federal government and therefore, assumed to have zero credit losses. The private label collateralized mortgage obligations are highly rated with sufficient overcollateralization and therefore have zero expected credit losses. The unrealized losses on HTM debt securities with no ACL were due to changes in market interest rates that resulted in a negative impact on the respective securities' fair value and are expected to be recovered when market prices recover or at maturity.

(1)Includes direct finance equipment leases of ~~$150.7~~$149.2 million and $146.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(2)Includes deferred (fees) costs and unamortized (discounts) premiums, net of ~~$(22.8)~~$(12.1) million and $(52.0) million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

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. The total amount of accrued interest recorded for total loans was ~~$80.7~~$86.1 million and $81.6 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is presented in accrued interest receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were ~~$31.8~~$17.2 million and $38.9 million of individually evaluated loans that were collateral-dependent, respectively. Substantially all individually evaluated loans are collateral-dependent and consisted primarily of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans. Collateral-dependent commercial and industrial loans were secured by accounts receivable, inventory and equipment; collateral-dependent commercial real estate loans were secured by commercial real estate assets; and residential real estate loans were secured by residential real estate assets.

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 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 under 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 ACL and are therefore excluded from ACL-related disclosures.

Loans receivable, PPP

Customers had ~~$2.2~~$1.6 billion and $3.3 billion of PPP loans outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA and earn a fixed interest rate of 1.00%.

As a result, the eligible PPP loans do not have an ACL and are therefore excluded from ACL-related disclosures.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the ACL on loans and leases was ~~$145.8~~$156.5 million, an increase of ~~$8.0~~$18.7 million from the December 31, 2021 balance of $137.8 million. The increase in ACL for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to ~~the~~ loan ~~growth in the loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family and commercial and industrial loans.~~growth.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were ~~$16.6~~$16.8 million and $16.5 million, respectively, in loans reported as TDRs. TDRs are reported as impaired loans in the quarter of their restructuring and are evaluated to determine whether they should be placed on ~~non-~~

~~Table of Content~~s

~~accrual~~non-accrual status. In subsequent quarters, 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. Customers had no lease receivables that had been restructured as a TDR as of ~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.~~

Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, gave entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs. In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offered practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were TDRs. For COVID-19 related loan modifications which met the loan modification criteria under either the CARES Act or the criteria specified by the regulatory agencies, Customers elected to suspend TDR accounting for such loan modifications. There were no commercial deferments related to COVID-19 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Consumer deferments related to COVID-19 were $3.3 million and $6.1 million at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

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

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 ACL.

Credit Quality Indicators

The ACL represents management's estimate of expected losses in Customers' loans and leases receivable portfolio, excluding commercial mortgage warehouse loans reported at fair value pursuant to a fair value option election and PPP loans receivable. Multi-family, commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, 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 installment loans are evaluated based on the payment activity of the loan.

~~Table of Content~~s

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 as an input in the ACL lifetime loss rate model for the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, 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 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 2021 Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s risk rating grades.

Risk ratings are not established for certain consumer loans, including residential real estate, home equity, manufactured housing, and installment loans, mainly because these portfolios consist of a larger number of homogeneous loans with smaller balances. Instead, these portfolios are evaluated for risk mainly based upon aggregate payment history through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends and are classified as performing and non-performing. The following tables present the credit ratings of loans and leases receivable as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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

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

NOTE 1213 — REGULATORY CAPITAL

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

In first quarter 2020, U.S federal banking regulatory agencies permitted banking organizations to phase-in, for regulatory capital purposes, the day-one impact of the new CECL accounting rule on retained earnings over a period of three years. As part of its response to the impact of COVID-19, on March 31, 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provided the option to temporarily delay certain effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period. The interim final rule allows banking organizations to delay for two years 100% of the day-one impact of adopting CECL and 25% of the cumulative change in the reported allowance for credit losses since adopting CECL. Customers has elected to adopt the interim final rule, which is reflected in the regulatory capital data presented below. The cumulative CECL capital transition impact as of December 31, 2021 which amounted to $61.6 million will be phased in at 25% per year beginning on January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, our regulatory capital ratios reflected 75%, or $46.2 million, benefit associated with the CECL transition provisions.

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

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

NOTE 1314 — 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 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 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 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), as explained below.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities:

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

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

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

Loans held for sale - 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.

3537

Table of Contents

Loans receivable - Commercial mortgage warehouse loans (fair value option):

The fair value of commercial mortgage warehouse loans is the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The loan is used by mortgage companies as short-term bridge financing between the funding of the mortgage loans and the finalization of the sale of the loans to an investor. Changes in fair value are not generally expected to be recognized because at inception of the transaction the underlying mortgage loans have already been sold to an approved investor. Additionally, the interest rate is variable, and the transaction is short-term, with an average life of under 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, interest rate caps and credit derivatives are determined using models that incorporate readily observable market data into a market standard methodology. This methodology nets the discounted future cash receipts and the discounted expected cash payments. The discounted variable cash receipts and payments are based on expectations of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, fair value is adjusted for the effect of nonperformance risk by incorporating credit valuation adjustments for 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 Customers' internal experience (i.e., pull-through rate). These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

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

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Collateral-dependent loans:

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

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

NOTE 1415 — 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 values 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 and deposits. Customers also has interest-rate derivatives resulting from an accommodation 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 are recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged item affects earnings. To date, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuances of 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. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, Customers terminated 4 interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $850 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest-rate risk associated with 3-month FHLB advances, and reclassified $25.9 million of the realized losses and accrued interest from AOCI to current earnings because the hedged forecasted transactions were determined to be no longer probable of occurring. Customers hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for a variable-rate deposit, which matured in June 2021.

~~Table of Content~~s

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Customers had no interest rate derivative designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

Fair Value Hedges of Benchmark Interest-Rate Risk

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

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Customers had 147 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling ~~$64.0~~$32.5 million that were designated as fair value hedges of certain AFS debt securities. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Customers terminated 27 and 9 interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling ~~$16.5~~$31.5 million and $48.0 million, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges together with the sale of hedged AFS debt securities. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, Customers terminated 71 and 8 interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling ~~$186.8~~$5.0 million and $191.8 million, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges together with the sale of hedged AFS debt securities. At December 31, 2021, Customers had 16 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $80.5 million designated as fair value hedges.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Customers executes interest rate swaps (typically the loan customers will swap a floating-rate loan for a fixed-rate loan) and interest rate caps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The customer interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that Customers executes with a third party in order to minimize interest-rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and caps and the offsetting third-party market swaps and caps are recognized directly in earnings. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Customers had ~~153~~151 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion and 1412 interest rate caps with an aggregated notional amount of ~~$263.2~~$243.8 million related to this program. At December 31, 2021, Customers had 153 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.4 billion and 14 interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $264.7 million related to this program.

Customers enters into residential mortgage loan commitments in connection with its consumer mortgage banking activities to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future. These commitments are short-term in nature and generally expire in 30 to 60 days. The residential mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative instruments under applicable accounting guidance and are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded directly in earnings. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Customers had an ~~outstanding~~aggregate notional ~~balance~~amount of residential mortgage loan commitments of ~~$6.4~~$5.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

Customers has also purchased and sold credit derivatives to either hedge or participate in the performance risk associated with some of its counterparties. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments and are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value ~~reported~~recorded directly in earnings. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Customers had ~~outstanding~~an aggregate notional ~~balances~~amount of credit derivatives of ~~$129.1~~$143.8 million and $129.9 million, respectively.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

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

Agreements with major derivative dealer counterparties contain provisions whereby default on any of Customers' indebtedness would be considered a default on its derivative obligations. Customers also has entered into agreements that contain provisions under which the counterparty could require Customers to settle its obligations if Customers fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net asset position (which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance-risk) related to these agreements was ~~$9.6~~$14.4 million. In addition, Customers, which has collateral posting thresholds with certain of these counterparties, had ~~posted $4.1~~received $15.9 million of cash as collateral at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Customers records cash posted or received as collateral with these counterparties, except with a central clearing entity, as a reduction or an increase in the outstanding balance of cash and cash equivalents and an increase in the balance of other ~~assets.~~assets or other liabilities.

NOTE 1516 — LOSS CONTINGENCIES

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements that are not currently accrued for. However, in light of the uncertainties inherent in these matters, it is possible that the ultimate resolution may have a material adverse effect on Customers’ results of operations for a particular period, and future changes in circumstances or additional information could result in accruals or resolution in excess of established accruals, which could adversely affect Customers’ results of operations, potentially materially.

Specialty’s Café Bakery, Inc. Matter

On May 27, 2020, the appointed Chapter 7 Trustee for Specialty’s Café Bakery, Inc. (“Debtor”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. On October 28, 2020, the Trustee, as plaintiff, filed her amended adversary complaint (“Adversary Complaint”) against the Bank and the SBA seeking to avoid and recover for the benefit of the Debtor’s estate and its creditors the payment made by the Debtor to the Bank in the amount of $8.1 million in satisfaction of a PPP loan made by the Bank to the Debtor (the “PPP Loan Payment”). The Trustee sought to avoid and recover the entire PPP Loan Payment from the Bank under the authority provided in 11 U.S.C. §547 and §550, which together permit a trustee of a bankruptcy debtor to avoid and recover, for a more equitable distribution among all creditors, certain transfers made within ninety (90) days before the filing of the bankruptcy petition. On December 2, 2021, the Bank filed a motion for summary judgement, arguing that the Trustee had failed to establish the elements under 11 U.S.C. §547 necessary to recover the PPP Loan Payment and other affirmative defenses to any such recovery. On February 2, 2022, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California granted the Bank’s motion for summary judgment, finding that the PPP Loan Payment was not recoverable by the Trustee. The Trustee has elected not to appeal this decision and, on February 23, 2022, the case against the Bank was closed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.

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

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

Overview

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

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

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

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

Impact of COVID-19, Geopolitical Conflict and Macroeconomic Uncertainties

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

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

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

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

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Table of Contents

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

~~Table of Content~~s

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

Allowance for Credit Losses

Customers' ACL at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 represents Customers' current estimate of the lifetime credit losses expected from its loan and lease portfolio and its unfunded lending-related commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. Management estimates the ACL by projecting a lifetime loss rate conditional on a forecast of economic parameters and other qualitative adjustments, for the loans and leases' expected remaining term.

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

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

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

The net increase in our estimated ACL as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 as compared to our December 31, 2021 estimate was primarily attributable to ~~the~~ loan ~~growth in the loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family and commercial and industrial loans.~~growth. There was a ~~$15.3 million~~ provision for credit losses on loans and leases of $24.2 million and $39.4 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, resulting in an ACL ending balance of ~~$147.8~~$159.1 million ($~~145.8~~156.5 million for loans and leases and ~~$2.0~~$2.6 million for unfunded lending-related commitments) as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

To determine the ACL as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Customers utilized Moody's ~~March~~June 2022 Baseline forecast to generate its modelled expected losses by loan portfolio in order to reflect management's reasonable expectations of current and future economic conditions. The Baseline forecast at ~~March~~June 2022 assumed ~~decelerating~~lower growth rate in macroeconomic forecasts compared to the ~~fourth~~first quarter ~~2021~~2022 forecasts of macroeconomic conditions used by Customers; the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the U.S. economy would be ~~marginal~~limited and the disruptions to oil, natural gas and other commodity markets will be ~~limited~~temporary; COVID-19 will be endemic and ~~temporary; the COVID-19 pandemic slowly receding~~seasonal and becoming less disruptive to global supply chains, tourism and business travel, immigration and labor markets; the Federal Reserve Board raising the ~~target range for the~~effective fed funds rate ~~four times by 25 basis points each time~~to average 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022; and the U.S. economy achieving full-employment with a 3.5% unemployment rate in ~~late~~ 2022 ~~or early 2023.~~and gradually rising over the next couple of years as the effect of tighter monetary policy starts to be felt. Customers continues to monitor the impact of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and related policy measures on the U.S. economy and, if pace of the expected recovery is worse than expected, further meaningful provisions for credit losses could be required.

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

~~Table of Content~~s

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

One of the most significant judgments influencing the ACL is the macroeconomic forecasts from Moody's. Changes in the economic forecasts could significantly affect the estimated credit losses which could potentially lead to materially different allowance levels from one reporting period to the next. Given the dynamic relationship between macroeconomic variables within Customers' modelling framework, it is difficult to estimate the impact of a change in any one individual variable on the ACL. However, to illustrate a hypothetical sensitivity analysis, management calculated a quantitative allowance using a 100% weighting applied to an adverse scenario. This scenario includes assumptions around the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine worsening significantly and persisting longer, causing oil prices to rise more sharply than the Baseline projections, new infections, hospitalizations and COVID-19 deaths rising significantly again as compared to the Baseline projections, slowing growth in consumer spending on air travel, retail and hotels, worsening supply chain issues boosting inflation, rising unemployment and the U.S. economy falling into recession. Under this scenario, as an example, the unemployment rate is estimated at ~~5.8%~~4.9% and ~~7.6%~~7.7% at the end of 2022 and 2023, respectively. These numbers represent a ~~2.2%~~1.4% and 4.2% higher unemployment estimate than the Baseline scenario ~~projections~~projection of ~~3.6% and 3.4%, respectively~~3.5% for the same time ~~periods.~~periods, respectively. To demonstrate the sensitivity to key economic parameters, management calculated the difference between a 100% Baseline weighting and a 100% adverse scenario weighting for modelled results. This would result in an incremental quantitative impact to the ACL of approximately ~~$37.2~~$47.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. This resulting difference is not intended to represent an expected increase in ACL levels since (i) Customers may use a weighted approach applied to multiple economic scenarios for its ACL process, (ii) the highly uncertain economic environment, (iii) the difficulty in predicting inter-relationships between macroeconomic variables used in various economic scenarios, and (iv) the sensitivity analysis does not account for any qualitative adjustments incorporated by Customers as part of its overall ACL framework.

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

Customers reported net income available to common shareholders of ~~$74.9~~$56.5 million and $131.4 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to net income available to common shareholders of ~~$33.2~~$58.0 million and $91.2 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2021, respectively. Factors contributing to the change in net income available to common shareholders for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 were as follows.

Net interest income

Net interest income increased ~~$32.0~~$26.1 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 as average interest-earning assets increased by ~~$628.4~~$826.9 million, and NIM increased by 6041 basis points to ~~3.60%~~3.39% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from ~~3.00%~~2.98% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The increase in interest-earning assets was driven by increases in investment securities, commercial and industrial loans and leases, installment, multi-family and ~~installment~~residential mortgage loans, offset in part by decreases in PPP loans due to PPP loan forgiveness and commercial loans to mortgage companies. The shift in the mix of interest-earning assets in a rising interest rate environment and PPP loan forgiveness, which accelerated the recognition of net deferred loan origination fees, drove a 3654 basis points increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and contributed to the NIM increase. The shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities in a rising interest rate environment drove a 26 basis points increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The largest shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impacting the NIM was $1.6 billion ($1.9 billion average balance) of PPP loans yielding 4.43% and $6.6 billion ($6.4 billion average balance) of interest-bearing demand deposits costing 0.85%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits was $4.7 billion ($4.5 billion average balance). PPPLF borrowings costing 0.35% were fully repaid during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Customers' total cost of funds, including non-interest bearing deposits was 0.69% and 0.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net interest income increased $58.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 as average interest-earning assets increased by $728.2 million, and NIM increased by 50 basis points to 3.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 2.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in interest-earning assets was driven by increases in investment securities, commercial and industrial loans and leases, installment, residential mortgage and multi-family loans, offset in part by decreases in PPP loans due to PPP loan forgiveness and commercial loans to mortgage companies. The PPP loan forgiveness drove a 46 basis points increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and contributed to the NIM increase. The NIM also increased from equity investment distributions, which are included in other interest income. The shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities ~~in a lower interest rate environment~~ drove a 204 basis ~~points decline~~

The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is presented within accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and the related provision is presented as part of other non-interest expense on the consolidated statement of income. The ACL on loans and leases held for investment represented ~~1.44%~~1.28% of total loans and leases receivable, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP measure, please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation within Loans and Leases - Credit Risk), at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to ~~1.71%~~1.61% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Net charge-offs for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 were ~~$7.2~~$13.5 million, or 2136 basis points of average loans and leases on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of ~~$12.5~~$6.6 million, or 3316 basis points on an annualized basis, for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The ~~decrease~~increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, was primarily due to ~~lower~~higher charge-offs for consumer installment ~~loans.~~loans and overdrawn deposit accounts.

The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 also ~~includes~~included a benefit to provision for credit losses of $0.3 million and a provision for credit losses of ~~$0.7~~$0.4 million on certain asset-backed securities included in our investment ~~securities.~~securities available for sale, respectively.

Non-interest income

The ~~$2.7~~$4.1 million ~~increase~~decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from a decrease of $24.5 million in loss on cash flow hedge derivative terminations, and increases of $6.6 million in bank-owned life insurance income, $1.1 million in loan fees and $0.7 million in commercial lease income. These increases were offset in part by decreases of ~~$24.6~~$4.8 million in gain (loss) on sale of investment securities, ~~$2.2 million in mortgage warehouse transactional fees, $1.6 million in unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives, $1.3~~$1.9 million in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities, ~~$0.5~~$1.4 million in mortgage warehouse transactional fees, $0.9 million in other non-interest income, $0.8 million in bank-owned life insurance income and ~~$0.1~~$0.4 million in gain (loss) on sale of SBA and other loans. These decreases were offset in part by $2.8 million of loss on sale of foreign subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and increases of $1.3 million in commercial lease income, $1.3 million in unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives and $0.9 million in loan fees for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.

The $1.3 million decrease in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from decreases of $29.5 million in gain (loss) on sale of investment securities, $3.6 million in mortgage warehouse transactional fees, $3.2 million in unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities, $1.4 million in other non-interest income, $0.4 million in gain (loss) on sale of SBA and other loans and $0.3 million in unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives. These decreases were offset in part by $24.5 million of loss on cash flow hedge derivative terminations and $2.8 million of loss on sale of foreign subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and increases of $5.8 million in bank-owned life insurance income, $2.1 million in loan fees and $2.0 million in commercial lease income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Non-interest expense

The ~~$11.9~~$5.4 million increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from increases of ~~$4.1~~$3.1 million in technology, communication and bank operations, $2.6 million in ~~salaries and employee benefits, $1.9 million in~~ loan servicing, $1.8 million in ~~other non-interest expense,~~occupancy, $1.1 ~~million in professional services and $0.7~~ million in commercial lease ~~depreciation.~~depreciation and $0.5 million in professional services. These increases were offset in part by ~~a decrease~~decreases of ~~$0.4~~$2.7 million in ~~merger~~salaries and ~~acquisition related expenses~~employee benefits, $1.0 million in FDIC assessments, non-income taxes, and regulatory fees and $0.3 million in other non-interest expense for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Table of Contents

The $17.3 million increase in non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from increases of $7.2 million in technology, communication and bank operations, $4.6 million in loan servicing, $2.2 million in occupancy, $1.8 million in commercial lease depreciation, $1.6 million in professional services and $1.6 million in other non-interest expense. These increases were offset in part by decreases of $1.3 million in FDIC assessments, non-income taxes, and regulatory fees, $0.2 million in advertising and promotion and $0.1 million in salaries and employee benefits for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The merger and acquisition related expenses decreased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 as the divestiture of BMT was completed on January 4, 2021.

Income tax expense

Customers' effective tax rate from continuing operations was ~~20.1%~~24.4% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~19.0%~~24.7% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from a decrease in compensation expense associated with an executive's retirement that exceeded the limit for tax deduction purposes for 2021, offset in part by reduced investment tax credits for 2022.

Customers' effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 21.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate primarily resulted from higher projected pre-tax income for 2022, reduced investment tax credits for 2022 ~~and a benefit for the recording of net discrete tax benefits associated with the divestiture of BMT~~ and the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the outside basis difference of foreign subsidiaries ~~included~~ in 2021, partially offset by an increase in ~~part by~~ excess tax benefits on vesting of restricted stock units and death benefits from bank-owned life insurance policies for 2022.

Net loss from discontinued operations

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

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

Customers had no loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 ~~compared to $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31,~~and 2021 as the divestiture of BMT was completed on January 4, 2021.

Customers had no loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $38.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $38.0 million decrease ~~was~~ primarily ~~related to~~resulted from restricted stock awards of BM Technologies' common stock granted to certain team members of BMT and the effect of the divestiture being treated as a taxable asset sale for tax purposes, offset in part by a tax benefit related to the restricted stock awards during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. See "NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS" to ~~Customers'~~the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Preferred stock dividends

Preferred stock dividends were ~~$1.9~~$2.1 million and ~~$3.4~~$3.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Preferred stock dividends were $4.0 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

On September 15, 2021, Customers redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock for an aggregate payment of $82.5 million, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share. The redemption price paid in excess of the carrying value of Series C and Series D Preferred Stock of $2.8 million was included as a loss on redemption of preferred stock in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended September 30, 2021. After giving effect to the redemption, no shares of the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock remained outstanding. There were no changes to the amount of preferred stock outstanding during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income (the difference between the interest earned on loans and leases, investments and interest-earning deposits with banks, and interest paid on deposits, borrowed funds and subordinated debt) is the primary source of Customers' earnings. The following table summarizes Customers' net interest income, related interest spread, net interest margin and the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021. 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.

(6)Non-GAAP tax-equivalent basis, as described in note (5) for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, excluding net interest income from PPP loans and related borrowings, along with the related PPP loan balances and PPP fees receivable from interest-earning assets.

Net interest income increased $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 as average interest-earning assets increased by $826.9 million, primarily related to increases in investment securities, commercial and industrial loans and leases, installment, multi-family and residential mortgage loans, partially offset by decreases in PPP loans due to PPP loan forgiveness and commercial loans to mortgage companies. The commercial loans to mortgage companies trend has been a function of greater refinance activity due to sharply lower interest rates, an increase in home purchase volumes and market share gains from other banks since early 2020. The refinancing activity has slowed since reaching its high level in early 2021 with rising interest rates.

The NIM increased by 41 basis points to 3.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from 2.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 resulting primarily from the PPP loan forgiveness, as well as a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in a rising interest rate environment. The shift in the mix of interest-earning assets in a rising interest rate environment and PPP loan forgiveness, which accelerated the recognition of net deferred loan origination fees, drove a 54 basis points increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and contributed to the NIM increase. The shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities in a rising interest rate environment drove a 26 basis points increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The largest shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impacting the NIM was $1.6 billion ($1.9 billion average balance) of PPP loans yielding 4.43% and $6.6 billion ($6.4 billion average balance) of interest-bearing demand deposits costing 0.85%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits was $4.7 billion ($4.5 billion average balance). PPPLF borrowings costing 0.35% were fully repaid during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Customers' total cost of funds, including non-interest bearing deposits was 0.69% and 0.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(7)Not Meaningful. Average yield on other interest-earning assets for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was ~~44.18%~~22.51% primarily due to $5.2 million of equity investment distributions.

Net interest income increased ~~$32.0~~$58.1 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 as average interest-earning assets increased by ~~$628.4~~$728.2 million, primarily related to increases in investment securities, commercial and industrial loans and leases, installment, residential mortgage and multi-family loans, partially offset by decreases in PPP loans due to PPP loan forgiveness and commercial loans to mortgage companies. The commercial loans to mortgage companies trend has largely been a function of greater refinance activity due to sharply lower interest rates, an increase in home purchase volumes and market share gains from other banks since early 2020. The refinancing activity has slowed since reaching its high level in early 2021 with rising interest rates.

The NIM increased by 6050 basis points to ~~3.60%~~3.49% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from ~~3.00%~~2.99% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 resulting primarily from the PPP loan ~~forgiveness, as well as a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in a lower interest rate environment.~~forgiveness. The ~~shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and~~ PPP loan forgiveness, which accelerated the recognition of net deferred loan origination fees, drove a 3646 basis points increase in the yield on interest-earning assets and contributed to the NIM increase. The NIM also increased from equity investment distributions, which are included in other interest income. The shift in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities ~~in a lower interest rate environment~~ drove a 204 basis points ~~decline~~increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The largest shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impacting the NIM was ~~$2.2~~$1.6 billion ($~~2.6~~2.3 billion average balance) of PPP loans yielding ~~5.66%~~5.15% and ~~$5.6~~$6.6 billion ($~~5.8~~6.1 billion average balance) of interest-bearing demand deposits costing ~~0.54%~~0.71%. Non-interest bearing demand deposits was ~~$4.6~~$4.7 billion ($~~4.9~~4.7 billion average balance). PPPLF borrowings costing 0.35% were fully repaid during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Customers' total cost of funds, including non-interest bearing deposits was ~~0.43%~~0.56% and ~~0.67%~~0.61% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Customers' net interest margin tables contain non-GAAP financial measures calculated using non-GAAP amounts. These measures include net interest margin tax equivalent and net interest margin tax equivalent, excluding PPP loans.

Investment securities held to maturity

In June 2022, Customers transferred $500.2 million in net carrying value of certain debt securities from available for sale to held to maturity as a part of Customers' ongoing asset liability management primarily to mitigate the impact of rising interest rates on the long duration component of the investment portfolio. At the time of transfer to held to maturity, these debt securities had unrealized losses of $50.0 million which, along with the unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income, will be amortized over the remaining terms of the securities as an adjustment to yield (interest income) using the effective interest method, resulting in no impact to earnings.

At June 30, 2022, investment securities held to maturity totaled $495.0 million from the transfer of $500.2 million in AFS debt securities, primarily agency-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations and private label collateralized mortgage obligations, partially offset by maturities, calls and principal repayments totaling $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table sets forth information about the maturities and weighted-average yield of the investment securities held to maturity. The weighted-average yield is computed based on a constant effective interest rate over the contractual life of each security adjusted for prepayment estimates, and considers the contractual coupon, amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and amortization of unrealized losses upon transfer from investment securities available for sale to held to maturity, along with the unrealized loss in accumulated other comprehensive income. Yields are not reported on a tax-equivalent basis.

Customers recognized interest income, including origination fees, of ~~$36.9~~$20.6 million and ~~$38.8~~$57.5 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively. Customers recognized interest income, including origination fees, of $41.1 million and $79.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

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 ACL and are therefore excluded from ACL-related disclosures. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, 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 ~~$1.8~~$1.9 billion and $2.3 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

~~Table~~On June 30, 2022, one of ~~Content~~sCustomers’ commercial mortgage warehouse borrowers filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As of June 30, 2022, the borrower had an outstanding loan balance of $90.2 million subject to a master repurchase agreement secured by first lien residential mortgages and a $31.0 million unsecured working capital loan that was fully guaranteed by an affiliate of the primary shareholder of the borrower. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, $38.2 million of the underlying residential mortgages were sold and the remaining balance is sufficiently secured by the first lien residential mortgages. Customers also received $25.0 million from the guarantor, resulting in a remaining balance of $6.0 million on the working capital loan which is fully secured by a cash collateral reserve and also remains covered under the guaranty of the affiliate of the primary shareholder.

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 ACL. Credit losses are charged-off when they are identified, and provisions are added for current expected credit losses, to the ACL at least quarterly. The ACL is estimated at least quarterly.

The provision for credit losses on loans and leases was ~~$15.3~~$24.2 million and ~~a benefit of $2.9~~$3.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision for credit losses on loans and leases was $39.4 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ACL maintained for loans and leases receivable (excluding loans held for sale and loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value and PPP loans) was ~~$145.8~~$156.5 million, or ~~1.44%~~1.28% of loans and leases receivable, excluding PPP loans, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $137.8 million, or 1.53% of loans and leases receivable, excluding PPP loans, at December 31, 2021. Excluding loans receivable, PPP from total loans and leases receivable is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing Customers' financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities. Please refer to the reconciliation schedule below.

The increase in the ACL resulted primarily from higher ACL for the loan ~~growth in the loan portfolio for consumer installment, residential, multi-family loans and commercial and industrial loans.~~growth. Net charge-offs were ~~$7.2~~$13.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$5.3~~$6.9 million compared to the same period in 2021. Net charge-offs were $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a increase of $1.6 million compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily due to higher charge-offs for consumer installment loans and overdrawn deposit accounts. Installment charge-offs were attributable to unsecured consumer installment loans originated or purchased through arrangements with fintech companies and other market place lenders. Please refer to the table of changes in Customers' ACL for annualized net-charge offs to average loans by loan type for the periods indicated.

The ACL is based on a quarterly evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb expected losses as of the balance sheet date. All commercial loans, with the exception of PPP loans and commercial mortgage warehouse loans, which are reported at fair value, are assigned 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 ACL. Refer to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates herein and "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements, also, refer to "NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION" to Customers' audited consolidated financial statements in its 2021 Form 10-K for further discussion on management's methodology for estimating the ACL.

Approximately ~~51%~~44% 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”), primarily in the form of 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

~~Table of Content~~s

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 326, individually assessed loans, consisting primarily of non-accrual and restructured loans, are considered in the methodology for determining the ACL. Individually assessed 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 operation or sale of such collateral. Shortfalls in the underlying collateral value for loans or leases determined to be collateral dependent are charged off immediately. Subsequent to an appraisal or other fair value estimate, management will assess whether there was a further decline in the value of the collateral based on changes in market conditions or property use that would require additional impairment to be recorded to reflect the particular situation, thereby increasing the ACL on loans and leases.

Customers segments the loan and lease receivables by product or other characteristic generally defining a shared characteristic with other loans or leases in the same group. Charge-offs from originated and acquired loans and leases are absorbed by the ACL. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, gave entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs. In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offered practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic were TDRs. For COVID-19 related loan modifications which met the loan modification criteria under either the CARES Act, as amended, or the criteria specified by the regulatory agencies, Customers elected to suspend TDR accounting for such loan modifications. There were no commercial deferments related to COVID-19 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Consumer deferments related to COVID-19 were $3.3 million and $6.1 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The schedule that follows includes both loans held for sale and loans held for investment.

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 that is sufficient to meet Customers' short-term and long-term needs, commitments and contractual obligations.

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

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

Customers recognized a ~~credit to~~ provision for credit losses ~~(a benefit)~~ on unfunded lending-related commitments of ~~$0.1~~$0.6 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, resulting in an ACL of ~~$2.0~~$2.6 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Customers had an ACL on unfunded lending-related commitments of $2.1 million as of December 31, 2021.

Customers' contractual obligations and other commitments representing required and potential cash outflows include operating leases, demand deposits, time deposits, federal funds purchased, short-term and long-term advances from FHLB, unsecured senior notes, subordinated debt, loan and other commitments as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Customers repaid $100.0 million of the 3.950% senior notes that matured in June 2022. See "NOTE 9 – LEASES", "NOTE 10 – DEPOSITS" and "NOTE 1011 – BORROWINGS" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Customers' investment portfolio, including debt securities available for sale and held to maturity provides periodic cash flows through regular maturities and amortization and can be used as collateral to secure additional 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 and FRB. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Customers' borrowing capacity with the FHLB was ~~$3.3~~$3.7 billion, of which ~~$123.4~~$635.0 million was utilized in borrowings and $96.1 million of available capacity was utilized to collateralize state and municipal deposits.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

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

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

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

The Basel III Capital Rules require that we maintain a 2.500% capital conservation buffer with respect to each of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. A financial institution with a capital conservation buffer of less than the required amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Bank and the Bancorp were in compliance with the Basel III requirements. See "NOTE 1213 – REGULATORY CAPITAL" to Customers' unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding regulatory capital requirements.

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 optimize net interest income while minimizing interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals and differences in lending and funding rates. 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 rate sensitivity as part of the overall management of interest rate risk; they are income scenario 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 scenario modeling is used to measure interest rate sensitivity and manage interest rate risk. Income scenario considers not only the impact of changing market interest rates upon forecasted net interest income but also other factors such as yield curve relationships, the volume and mix of assets and liabilities, customer preferences and general market conditions.

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

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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

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

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

Dividends on Common Stock

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

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

In addition, as a bank holding company, Customers Bancorp is subject to general regulatory restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. Federal bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business, which, depending on the financial condition and liquidity of the holding company at the time, could include the payment of dividends. Further, various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that bank subsidiaries can pay to their parent holding company without regulatory approval. Generally, subsidiaries are prohibited from paying

dividends when doing so would cause them to fall below the regulatory minimum capital levels, and limits exist on paying dividends in excess of net income for specified periods.

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