SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2014 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — July 24, 2014 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2014 was $50.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share, compared to $91.3 million, or $1.95 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2014, and $48.6 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2013. Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $142.1 million, or $2.96 per diluted common share, compared to $89.5 million, or $1.96 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2013 period.

"Exceptional client funds growth, high credit quality and solid loan growth drove our strong performance in the second quarter, despite the impact from the performance of our FireEye related investments" said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. "While interest rates and competition are challenging, the business environment for our clients remains positive and new company formation is strong.  Our unique model and expertise in supporting innovation companies have enabled us to deliver solid organic growth."

Highlights of our second quarter 2014 results (compared to first quarter 2014, unless otherwise noted) included:

• Average loan balances of $11.1 billion, an increase of $313 million (or 2.9 percent).

• Average investment securities, excluding non-marketable and other securities, of $15.2 billion, an increase of $2.9 billion (or 24.0 percent).

• Average total client funds (including both on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds) of $57.3 billion, an increase of $6.5 billion (or 12.8 percent) with average on-balance sheet deposits increasing by $3.5 billion (or 14.8 percent) and average off-balance sheet client investment funds increasing by $3.0 billion (or 11.1 percent).

• Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $205.4 million, an increase of $8.6 million (or 4.4 percent).

• Net interest margin of 2.79 percent, a decrease of 34 basis points.

• Provision for loan losses of $1.9 million, compared to $0.5 million.

• Losses on investment securities of $57.3 million, compared to gains of $223.9 million. Non-GAAP losses on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, were $22.1 million, compared to gains of $37.4 million, primarily resulting from our FireEye, Inc. ("FireEye") related investments (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.) Specifically, we had losses on investment securities related to FireEye of $98.9 million ($30.4 million net of noncontrolling interests). See Noninterest Income section for details on FireEye activity during the second quarter of 2014.

• Gains on equity warrant assets of $12.3 million, compared to $25.4 million.

• Foreign exchange fees of $17.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million (or 4.1 percent).

• Noninterest expense of $173.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million (or 0.6 percent).

• The issuance and sale through a public offering of 4,485,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $101.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds of $434.9 million.

(1) To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), we use certain non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP calculations to GAAP is provided at the end of this release under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(2) Interest income on non-taxable investments is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory income tax rate of 35.0 percent. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $0.4 million for each of the quarters ended June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $0.9 million for both the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

(3) Three and six months endedJune 30, 2014 average balances reflective of the re-designation effective June 1, 2014.

(4) Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly and year-to-date average assets.

(5) Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly and year-to-date average SVBFG stockholders’ equity.

(6) Ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income.

(7) Book value per common share is calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders’ equity by total outstanding common shares.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $205.4 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $196.8 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $170.5 million for the second quarter of 2013. The following table provides a summary of changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to both volume and rate from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014. Changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate (principally changes in the number of days from quarter to quarter) are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate:

	Q2'14 compared to Q1'14
	Increase (decrease) due to change in
(Dollars in thousands)	Volume		Rate			Total
Interest income:
Short-term investment securities	$	465	$	(158	)	$	307
AFS / HTM investment securities	14,858		(5,858		)	9,000
Loans	4,951		(5,443		)	(492		)
Increase (decrease) in interest income, net	20,274		(11,459		)	8,815
Interest expense:
Deposits	290		(126		)	164
Long-term debt	5		11			16
Increase (decrease) in interest expense, net	295		(115		)	180
Increase (decrease) in net interest income	$	19,979	$	(11,344	)	$	8,635

The increase in net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014, was primarily attributable to the following:

• An increase in interest income from our fixed income securities in our available-for-sale ("AFS") and held-to-maturity ("HTM") portfolios of $9.0 million to $64.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. Significant deposit growth in both the first and second quarters of 2014, resulted in a $2.9 billion increase in average investment securities and improved net interest income, offset by a decrease in investment yields. The overall yield on our investment securities portfolio decreased 13 basis points. Lower reinvestment yields, resulting from a lower overall market rate environment and an increase in purchases of U.S. Treasury securities during the second quarter of 2014, plus an additional day in the current quarter, contributed to a decline of 20 basis points. The decline was partially offset by a decrease in premium amortization expense to $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2014. The remaining unamortized premium balance as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, was $17.8 million (net of discounts of $85.3 million) and $38.8 million (net of discounts of $63.0 million), respectively.

• A decrease in interest income from loans of $0.5 million to $147.7 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily reflective of an overall loan yield decrease of 23 basis points, from 5.58 percent to 5.35 percent, attributable to a decrease from both gross loan and loan fee yields. Loan fee yields decreased 15 basis points, primarily attributable to a $2.4 million (or 10 basis points) decrease in total prepayment fees, mainly associated with one client in the first quarter. Gross loan yields, excluding loan interest recoveries, decreased to 4.49 percent from 4.61 percent, reflective of the change in the mix of our overall loan portfolio.  In recent quarters, our loan growth has generally been driven from our venture capital/private equity loans which, on average have lower yields.  Additionally, our higher yielding sponsor led buy-out loan portfolio declined over the past quarter. The overall low market rate environment and increased price competition have impacted

interest income. The decrease in both loan fee yields and gross loan yields were partially offset by an increase in loan interest recoveries of $1.4 million (or 4 basis points).

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 2.79 percent for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 3.13 percent for the first quarter of 2014 and 3.40 percent for the second quarter of 2013. The decline in our net interest margin, from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014, was primarily attributable to growth in deposits, much of which was invested in lower yielding investment securities, and the decrease in loan yields as outlined above. 

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio consists of an available-for-sale securities portfolio and a held-to-maturity portfolio, both of which primarily represent interest-earning fixed income investment securities and are managed to earn an appropriate portfolio yield over the long-term while maintaining sufficient liquidity and credit diversification as well as addressing our asset/liability management objectives; and a non-marketable and other securities portfolio, which primarily represents investments managed as part of our funds management business. Our total period-end fixed income investment securities portfolios increased by $4.3 billion, to $17.1 billion at June 30, 2014. New investments of $4.5 billion included $4.2 billion of U.S. Treasuries and the remainder in agency-issued mortgage securities, as part of our continued focus on limiting our duration risk. The duration of our fixed income investment securities portfolio was 3.1 years in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 3.3 years in the first quarter of 2014. Both average and period-end growth in our fixed income investment securities portfolios was due to strong growth in deposits during the second quarter of 2014. Non-marketable and other securities remained relatively flat at $1.8 billion ($492 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2014.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Average available-for-sale securities increased by $1.1 billion to $13.4 billion for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $12.2 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and $10.4 billion for the second quarter of 2013. Period-end available-for-sale securities were $11.7 billion at June 30, 2014, $12.8 billion at March 31, 2014 and $10.0 billion at June 30, 2013. The decrease in period-end balances from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a $5.4 billion transfer of securities out of our available-for-sale securities portfolio into a held-to-maturity securities portfolio as discussed below. The decrease, as a result of the transfer, was offset by purchases of new available-for-sale securities of $4.5 billion. New investments in available-for-sale securities were primarily concentrated in fixed rate U.S. Treasury securities. Additionally, the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio increased by $98.4 million primarily as a result of the decrease in period-end market rates. The $98.4 million increase in unrealized gains from the valuation increases is reflected as a $58.7 million increase (net of tax) in accumulated other comprehensive income, which partially contributed to the overall increase in stockholders' equity.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

During the second quarter of 2014, we re-designated certain securities from the classification of “available-for-sale” to “held-to-maturity”. The securities re-designated primarily consisted of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") with a total carrying value of $5.4 billion at June 1, 2014. At the time of re-designation the securities had unrealized gains totaling $22.5 million, net of tax, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are being amortized over the life of the securities in a manner consistent with the amortization of a premium or discount. Our decision to re-designate the securities was based on our ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Factors used in assessing the ability to hold these securities to maturity were future liquidity needs and sources of funding.

During June 2014, new investments of $120 million increased the period-end held-to-maturity security balance to $5.5 billion at June 30, 2014. Average held-to-maturity securities were $1.8 billion for the second quarter of 2014.

Non-Marketable and Other Securities

Our non-marketable and other securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, debt funds and private and public portfolio companies.

Non-marketable and other securities decreased slightly by $13 million to $1.8 billion ($492 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2014, compared to $1.8 billion ($493 million net of noncontrolling interests) at March 31, 2014 and $1.3 billion ($477 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2013. The decrease of $13 million was primarily due to valuation declines in our managed direct venture funds mostly offset by additional capital calls for fund investments and valuation gains from other managed funds. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP non-marketable and other securities, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Loans

Average loans (net of unearned income) increased by $313 million to $11.1 billion for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $10.8 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and $9.0 billion for the second quarter of 2013. Period-end loans, (net of unearned income) increased by $515 million to $11.3 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $10.8 billion at March 31, 2014 and $9.6 billion at June 30, 2013. Period-end loan growth came primarily from our venture capital/private equity and private bank portfolios, which increased $515 million from the first quarter of 2014.

Loans (individually or in the aggregate) to any single client, equal to or greater than $20 million held flat and totaled $3.9 billion, $3.9 billion and $3.6 billion at June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, which represents 33.8 percent, 36.0 percent and 36.7 percent of total gross loans, respectively. Further details are provided under the section “Loan Concentrations.”

Credit Quality

The following table provides a summary of our allowance for loan losses:

	Three months ended									Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands, except ratios)	June 30, 2014			March 31, 2014			June 30, 2013			June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013
Allowance for loan losses, beginning balance	$	123,542		$	142,886		$	112,205		$	142,886		$	110,651

Net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average total gross loans (annualized)	0.17			0.74			0.49			0.45			0.35
Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of period-end total gross loans	1.06			1.13			1.23			1.06			1.23
Period-end total gross loans	$	11,437,300		$	10,920,482		$	9,705,464		$	11,437,300		$	9,705,464
Average total gross loans	11,166,021			10,852,905			9,100,420			11,010,328			8,929,012

Our provision for loan losses was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2014. The provision of $1.9 million was primarily driven by $5.3 million from period-end loan growth and $4.8 million in net charge-offs, offset by a reserve release of $6.0 million due to the improvement of the credit quality of our overall loan portfolio and a $2.1 million decrease in the reserve for impaired loans resulting from a decrease in impaired loan balances from repayments and charge-offs.

Gross loan charge-offs of $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2014 included $3.9 million of charge-offs from four software clients and $1.7 million from one client in our other commercial loans portfolio, of which a total of $1.4 million was previously reserved for in the first quarter of 2014. Loan recoveries amounted to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2014.

Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total gross loans decreased to 1.06 percent at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.13 percent at March 31, 2014. This decrease was driven by a decrease in reserves in the gross performing loan portfolio. Our allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans decreased to 1.02 percent at June 30, 2014 compared to 1.07 percent at March 31, 2014, which reflects the continued improvement in the overall credit quality of our performing loan portfolio.

5

Our impaired loans totaled $22.3 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $25.0 million at March 31, 2014. Our impaired loan balance decreased $2.7 million, primarily as a result of $2.0 million in net repayments and $3.4 million in charge-offs, offset by $3.0 million in new impaired loans. The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans was $4.7 million at June 30, 2014, compared to $6.8 million at March 31, 2014.

Client Funds

Our total client funds consist of both on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds. Average total client funds were $57.3 billion for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $50.8 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and $41.8 billion for the second quarter of 2013. Period-end total client funds were $58.7 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $53.7 billion at March 31, 2014 and $42.7 billion at June 30, 2013.

Deposits

Average deposits were $27.2 billion for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $23.7 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and $18.6 billion for the second quarter of 2013. Period-end deposits were $28.4 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $25.5 billion at March 31, 2014 and $18.7 billion at June 30, 2013. The increases in average and period-end deposits during the second quarter of 2014 were in both noninterest-bearing demand deposits and interest-bearing deposits, primarily as a result of growth from our existing early-stage clients, reflective of increased venture capital funding activity during the second quarter of 2014, with approximately 20 percent of the period-end growth attributable to new client additions.

Off-Balance Sheet Client Investment Funds

Average off-balance sheet client investment funds were $30.2 billion for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $27.1 billion for the first quarter of 2014 and $23.2 billion for the second quarter of 2013. Period-end client investment funds were $30.4 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $28.2 billion at March 31, 2014 and $24.0 billion at June 30, 2013. The increases in average and period-end total client investment funds from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014 were primarily due to a large number of financing and IPO transactions for our early-stage and mid-to-late-stage clients. The increases were also attributable to our existing clients’ increased utilization of our off-balance sheet products managed by SVB Asset Management, which averaged $16.1 billion for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $13.5 billion for the first quarter of 2014.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $310.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $98.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. Non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests, was $49.5 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $123.5 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $67.5 million for the second quarter of 2013. (See reconciliations of all non-GAAP measures used under the section " Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".)

The decrease of $296.0 million ($74.0 million net of noncontrolling interests) in noninterest income from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014 was primarily driven by net losses on investment securities of $57.3 million ($22.1 million net of noncontrolling interests) and lower net gains on derivative instruments, primarily from equity warrant assets.

Items impacting the change in noninterest income from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014 were as follows:

• Losses on investment securities of $57.3 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to gains of $223.9 million for the first quarter of 2014. Net of noncontrolling interests, net losses on investment securities were $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to gains of $37.4 million for the first quarter of 2014. The losses, net of noncontrolling interests, of $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2014 were primarily driven by the following:

◦ Losses of $16.8 million from our managed direct venture funds, mainly due to the decrease in the public company stock price of FireEye.

6

◦ Losses of $16.5 million from our equity securities holdings, primarily attributable to the decrease in the public company stock price of FireEye, subsequent to March 31, 2014, upon the sale of our FireEye warrant shares.

◦ Gains of $8.6 million from our strategic and other investments, primarily driven by strong distributions from strategic venture capital fund investments as well as the acquisition of one of our direct equity investments, for which we recorded a gain of $4.7 million.

◦ Gains of $3.0 million from our managed funds of funds, primarily related to unrealized valuation adjustments of two of our funds of funds.

As of June 30, 2014, we held investments, either directly or indirectly through 13 of our managed investment funds, in 464 funds (primarily venture capital funds), 102 companies and 5 debt funds.

The following tables provide a summary of non-GAAP net (losses) gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively:

As shown above, our second quarter 2014 net losses on investment securities were $57.3 million ($22.1 million, net of noncontrolling interests). Included in these net losses are realized losses from the sales of available-for-sale equity securities, realized gains from distributions in our non-marketable and other securities portfolio, and net unrealized valuation losses from holdings in existing public companies in our nonmarketable and other securities portfolio. The primary contributor being from our holdings in FireEye, which amounted to total net losses of $98.9 million ($30.4 million, net of noncontrolling interests).

• Net gains on derivative instruments were $12.8 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $24.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. The following table provides a summary of our net gains on derivative instruments:

(1) Represents the change in fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts used to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure related to certain foreign currency denominated instruments.

(2) Primarily represents the change in fair value of loan conversion options and our interest rate swap.

◦ Net gains of $12.8 million on derivative instruments for the second quarter of 2014 was primarily attributable to the following:

•Net gains on equity warrant assets of $12.3 million attributable to the following:

◦ Net gains of $9.2 million from changes in warrant valuations compared to net gains of $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2014. The warrant valuation gains were primarily attributable to our private warrant portfolio.

◦ Net gains of $3.6 million from the exercise of equity warrant assets, compared to net gains of $18.4 million, primarily reflective of the exercise of FireEye equity warrants, for the first quarter of 2014.

• Net gains of $0.5 million on internal foreign exchange forward contracts used to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure to foreign currency denominated instruments for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net losses of $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. The net gains of $0.5 million were offset by net losses of $0.7 million from the revaluation of foreign currency denominated instruments that are included in the line item "Other" within noninterest income.

Non-GAAP core fee income (foreign exchange fees, deposit service charges, credit card fees, lending related fees, letters of credit fees and client investment fees) decreased $0.9 million to $50.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $50.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $42.0 million for the second quarter of 2013. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP core fee income and non-GAAP net gains on investment securities discussed in this section are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The following table provides a summary of our non-GAAP core fee income:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2014		March 31, 2014		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2013
Non-GAAP core fee income:
Foreign exchange fees	$	17,928	$	17,196	$	13,667	$	35,124	$	27,863
Credit card fees	10,249		10,282		7,609		20,531		15,057

Total Non-GAAP core fee income	$	49,993	$	50,946	$	41,957	$	100,939	$	83,278

(1) Lending related fees consists of fee income associated with credit commitments such as unused commitment fees, syndication fees and other loan processing fees and, historically, has been included in Other noninterest income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Items impacting the change in non-GAAP core fee income from the first quarter of 2014 to the second quarter of 2014 were primarily attributable to the following:

◦ A decrease of $1.3 million in letters of credit and standby letters of credit fees related to a one-time fee adjustment made during the second quarter of 2014.

◦ A decrease of $0.4 million in lending related fees as a result of lower syndication fee income during the second quarter of 2014.

◦ An increase of $0.7 million in foreign exchange fees as a result of continued strong growth in transaction volumes.

8

◦ A slight decrease in credit card fees reflective of an increase in credit card interchange fee income as a result of increased volume, offset by higher expenses related to our card rewards program.

Overall Summary of Investments in FireEye

During the second quarter of 2014, our FireEye warrant shares were sold and a portion of our FireEye related investments acquired by our managed direct venture funds were distributed. Our remaining FireEye related investments currently held at June 30, 2014, include common stock acquired through prior investments by our managed direct venture funds.

During the second quarter of 2014 net realized and unrealized losses, related to FireEye, were $98.9 million ($30.4 million net of noncontrolling interests) and consisted of the following:

• $20.4 million ($3.9 million net of noncontrolling interests) of realized gains from the distribution of shares held by our managed direct venture funds,

• $14.0 million of realized losses from the sales of all FireEye warrant shares, of which $8.2 million was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the first quarter of 2014, and

• $105.3 million ($20.3 million net of noncontrolling interests) of unrealized losses primarily from the decreased valuation of the remaining shares held by our managed direct venture funds

From June 30, 2014 to July 21, 2014, the market share price of FireEye’s common stock has decreased by approximately 13% from $40.55 to $35.45. Based on that decrease, we would expect a total decrease in the valuation of our remaining FireEye related investments, subsequent to June 30, 2014, of approximately $25 million ($5 million, net of noncontrolling interests) (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”).

Gains (or losses) relating to our FireEye related investments are based on valuation changes or the sale of any securities, and are subject to FireEye’s stock price, which is subject to market conditions and various other factors. Additionally, the expected gains and losses reported above with respect to the remaining shares held at June 30, 2014 are currently unrealized, and the extent such gains (or losses) will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including among other things, changes in prevailing market prices and the timing of any sales or distribution of securities, which are subject to our securities sales and governance processes and may also be constrained by lock-up agreements. None of the FireEye related investments currently are subject to a lock-up agreement.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $173.4 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $172.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $143.3 million for the second quarter of 2013. The increase of $1.0 million in noninterest expense is primarily driven by an increase in the provision for unfunded credit commitments and other noninterest expense, partially offset by a decrease in compensation and benefits expense.

The noninterest expense increases consist of the following:

• A provision for unfunded credit commitments of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to a provision of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2014. The provision of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 is reflective of an increase in unfunded credit commitments balances of $1.1 billion to $13.6 billion.

• An increase of $1.9 million in other noninterest expenses, primarily due to certain non-recurring expenses and an increase in licensing and fees.

• An increase of $0.8 million in FDIC assessments, primarily reflective of the increase in average assets.

The following table provides a summary of our compensation and benefits expense:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2014		March 31, 2014		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2014		June 30, 2013
Compensation and benefits:
Salaries and wages	$	45,157	$	44,353	$	39,209	$	89,510	$	78,532
Incentive compensation plan	25,561		24,775		20,420		50,336		39,597
ESOP	2,185		1,673		1,240		3,858		4,256
Other employee benefits (1)	26,917		31,706		23,873		58,623		51,061
Total compensation and benefits	$	99,820	$	102,507	$	84,742	$	202,327	$	173,446
Period-end full-time equivalent employees	1,786		1,737		1,657		1,786		1,657
Average full-time equivalent employees	1,768		1,735		1,657		1,751		1,656

(1) Other employee benefits expense includes employer payroll taxes, group health and life insurance, share-based compensation, 401(k), warrant and retention plans, agency fees and other employee-related expenses.

The $2.7 million decrease in total compensation and benefits expense primarily consists of the following:

• A decrease of $4.4 million in 401(k) employer matching contributions and the associated payroll taxes, primarily due to employer contributions made in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of annual incentive compensation payouts for 2013 to employees.

• An increase of $0.8 million in salaries and wages expense, primarily due to an increase in the number of average full-time equivalent employees ("FTE"), which increased by 33 to 1,768 FTEs for the second quarter of 2014 and the impact of annual merit increases, which took effect during the first quarter.

• An increase of $1.3 million in expense relating to incentive compensation plans and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), which reflects our current expectation that we will exceed our internal performance targets for 2014.

Non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests was $168.2 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $169.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $140.4 million for the second quarter of 2013. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP noninterest expense, net of noncontrolling interests, are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 39.8 percent for the second quarter of 2014, compared to 39.2 percent for the first quarter of 2014 and 38.2 percent for the second quarter of 2013. Our effective tax rate was 39.4 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 38.7 percent for the comparable 2013 period. The increases in the tax rates were primarily attributable to lower tax credits from our tax advantaged investments.

Our effective tax rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense by the sum of income before income tax expense and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

10

Noncontrolling Interests

Included in net income is income and expense related to noncontrolling interests. The relevant amounts allocated to investors, in our consolidated subsidiaries, other than us are reflected under “Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” in our statements of income. The following table provides a summary of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests:

	Three months ended									Six months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2014			March 31, 2014			June 30, 2013			June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013
Net interest loss (income) (1)	$	5		$	(8	)	$	(20	)	$	(3	)	$	(44	)
Noninterest loss (income) (1)	43,961			(202,138		)	(31,498		)	(158,177		)	(54,786		)
Noninterest expense (1)	5,267			3,321			2,867			8,588			5,727
Carried interest (loss) income (2)	(8,636		)	15,420			747			6,784			1,545
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests	$	40,597		$	(183,405	)	$	(27,904	)	$	(142,808	)	$	(47,558	)

(1) Represents noncontrolling interests’ share in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense.

(2) Represents the preferred allocation of income (or change in income) earned by us as the general partner of certain consolidated funds.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $40.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to net income of $183.4 million for the first quarter of 2014 and $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2013. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of $40.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 was primarily a result of the following:

• Net losses on investment securities (including carried interest) attributable to noncontrolling interests of $35.2 million primarily from losses of $70.7 million from our managed direct venture funds, offset by gains of $35.5 million from our managed funds of funds. The carried interest loss of $8.6 million, primarily reflects the impact of the decline in FireEye valuations in our managed direct funds.

• Noninterest expense of $5.3 million, primarily related to management fees paid by the noncontrolling interests to our subsidiaries that serve as the general partner.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

To support the continued growth of our balance sheet, during the second quarter of 2014, we issued and sold in a public offering 4,485,000 shares of common stock at a price of $101 per share. We received net proceeds of $434.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions.

Total SVBFG stockholders’ equity increased by $0.6 billion to $2.7 billion at June 30, 2014, compared to $2.1 billion at March 31, 2014, primarily due to the $434.9 million in proceeds received in conjunction with the common stock equity offering as mentioned above and net income of $50.8 million in the second quarter of 2014. Additionally, the increase in the net balance of our accumulated other comprehensive income to $50.3 million from a net loss balance of $30.4 million at March 31, 2014, was primarily driven by a $135.1 million increase in the fair value of our fixed income securities portfolio ($80.6 million net of tax), which resulted from a decrease in period-end market interest rates compared to the prior quarter end.

Capital Ratios

Our regulatory capital ratios (total risk-based capital, tier 1 risk based capital and tier 1 leverage ratios) for both SVB Financial and the Bank increased compared to March 31, 2014, as a result of growth in quarterly earnings and SVB Financial's common stock offering during May 2014, which resulted in the issuance of 4,485,000 shares and net proceeds of $434.9 million, of which $400 million was downstreamed to the Bank and had a positive impact on Bank level regulatory capital ratios.  Our total risk-based capital ratio and tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, reflect the increase in regulatory capital and the partial offset of an increase in risk-weighted assets during the quarter primarily from loan growth. The increase in our tier 1 leverage ratio reflects the increase in regulatory capital with a partial offset from an increase in total average assets during the quarter resulting from an increase in client deposits. All of our capital ratios are above the levels considered “well capitalized” under banking regulations.

11

Volcker Rule

As discussed in the fourth quarter of 2013, federal regulatory agencies adopted final rules implementing the “Volcker Rule” under the Dodd-Frank Act, which, among other things, restricts or limits banks from sponsoring or having ownership interests in “covered” funds including venture capital and private equity funds.

We currently estimate that our total venture capital and private equity fund investments deemed to be prohibited covered fund interests and therefore subject to the Volcker Rule restrictions, have, as of June 30, 2014, an aggregate carrying value of approximately $256.5 million (and an aggregate fair value of approximately $343.6 million). These covered fund interests are comprised of our interests (excluding any noncontrolling interests) in our consolidated managed funds and certain of our non-marketable securities.

We continue to assess the financial impact of these rules on our fund investments, as well as the impact of other Volcker restrictions on other areas of our business. The actual and expected financial impact from these restrictions on our investments, if any, will be dependent on a variety of factors, including: our ability to obtain regulatory extensions; our ability to sell the investments; our carrying value at the time of any sale; the actual sales price realized; the timing of such sales; and any subsequently-issued regulatory guidance or interpretations of the rules.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2014

Our outlook for the year ending December 31, 2014 is provided below on a GAAP basis, unless otherwise noted. We have provided our current outlook for the expected full year results of our significant forecasted activities. In general, we do not provide our outlook for certain items (such as gains (losses) from warrants and investment securities) where the timing or financial impact are particularly uncertain and/or subject to market or other conditions beyond our control (such as the level of IPO, M&A or general financing activity), or for potential unusual or non-recurring items. The outlook assumptions presented below are, by their nature, forward-looking statements and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, which are discussed below under the section “Forward-Looking Statements.”

For the year ending December 31, 2014, compared to our 2013 results, we currently expect the following outlook:

	Current full year 2014 outlook compared to 2013 results (as of July 24, 2014)	Change in outlook compared to outlook reported as of April 24, 2014
Average loan balances	Increase at a percentage rate in the high teens to low twenties	Outlook increased from high teens
Average deposit balances	Increase at a percentage rate in the low forties	Outlook increased from high twenties
Net interest income (1)	Increase at a percentage rate in the low twenties	Outlook increased from high teens
Net interest margin (1)	Between 2.75% and 2.85%	Outlook decreased from 3.10% to 3.20%
Allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans	Comparable to 2013 levels	No change from previous outlook
Net loan charge-offs	Between 0.30% and 0.50% of average total gross loans	No change from previous outlook
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total gross loans	Comparable to 2013 levels	No change from previous outlook
Core fee income (foreign exchange fees, deposit service charges, credit card fees, lending related fees, client investment fees and letters of credit fees) (2)	Increase at a percentage rate in the high teens	Outlook increased from low teens
Noninterest expense (excluding expenses related to noncontrolling interests) (2) (3)	Increase at a percentage rate in the low double digits	No change from previous outlook

(1) Our outlook for net interest income and net interest margin is primarily based on management's current forecast of average deposit and loan balances and deployment of surplus cash into investment securities. Such forecasts are subject to change, and actual results may differ, based on market conditions and actual prepayment rates. See also other factors that may cause our outlook to differ from our actual results under the section "Forward Looking Statements" below.

(2) Non-GAAP

(3) Our outlook for noninterest expense is partly based on management's current forecast of performance-based incentive compensation expenses. Such forecasts are subject to change, and actual results may differ, based on our performance relative to our internal performance targets.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, such as forecasts of our future financial results and condition, expectations for our operations and business, and our underlying assumptions of such forecasts and expectations. In this release, including the sections “Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2014 ” above, we make forward-looking statements discussing management’s expectations about economic conditions; opportunities in the market; the outlook on our client performance; our financial, credit, and business performance, including potential investment gains; loan growth and loan yields; expense levels; and financial results (and the components of such results) for the year 2014.

13

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures (non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP net (losses) gains on investment securities, non-GAAP non-marketable and other securities, non-GAAP noninterest expense and non-GAAP financial ratios) of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures (as applicable), provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by: (i) excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests for which we effectively do not receive the economic benefit or cost of, where indicated, or (ii) providing additional information used by management that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our operating results and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate a comparison of our performance to prior periods. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the financial tables below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure.

In particular, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP measures that exclude the following from net income and certain other financial line items in certain periods:

• Income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests — As part of our funds management business, we recognize the entire income or loss from certain funds where we own less than 100 percent. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100 percent of the results of the funds that we are deemed to control or in which we have a majority ownership. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Losses (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests.” Our net income available to common stockholders/certain financial line items include only the portion of income or loss related to our ownership interest.

In addition, in this press release, we use certain non-GAAP financial ratios and measures that are not required by GAAP or exclude certain financial items from their calculations that are otherwise required under GAAP, including:

• Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio — These ratios are not required by GAAP or applicable bank regulatory requirements, and are used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. Our ratios are calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders’ equity, by total assets or total risk-weighted assets, as applicable, after reducing amounts by acquired intangibles. The manner in which this ratio is calculated varies among companies. Accordingly, our ratios are not necessarily comparable to similar measures of other companies.

• Non-GAAP operating efficiency ratio — This ratio excludes certain financial items that are otherwise required under GAAP. It is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total taxable equivalent income, after reducing both amounts by taxable equivalent income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests and the gains noted above for applicable periods.

• Non-GAAP core fee income — This measure represents noninterest income, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control. We do not provide our outlook for the expected full year results for these excluded items, which include gains on investment securities, net, gains on derivative instruments, net, and other noninterest income items.
