SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2018 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — October 25, 2018 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2018 was $274.8 million, or $5.10 per diluted common share, compared to $237.8 million, or $4.42 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2018 and $148.6 million, or $2.79 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2017. Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $707.6 million, or $13.15 per diluted common share, compared to $373.3 million, or $7.01 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2017 period.

"Our outstanding third quarter reflected the positive core business trends and tailwinds that have enabled SVB to deliver strong performance in the first half of the year," said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. "We again saw robust loan and client funds growth, a healthy increase in net interest income, strong warrant- and investment-related gains, and solid core fee income increases, all against the backdrop of stable credit.  While preliminary, our positive 2019 outlook reflects our expectation of continued benefits from the unprecedented liquidity being deployed in and by our clients, the full-year impact of recent interest rate increases, and continued effective execution of our growth plans."

Highlights of our third quarter 2018 results (compared to second quarter 2018, unless otherwise noted) included:

• Average loan balances of $26.3 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion (or 5.9 percent).

• Period-end loan balances of $27.5 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion (or 5.8 percent).

• Average fixed income investment securities of $25.5 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion (or 1.4 percent).

• Period-end fixed income investment securities of $25.0 billion, a decrease of $0.5 billion (or 2.0 percent).

• Average total client funds (on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds) increased $9.4 billion (or 7.9 percent) to $128.7 billion.

• Period-end total client funds increased $6.0 billion (or 4.8 percent) to $130.7 billion.

• Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $496.1 million, an increase of $27.6 million (or 5.9 percent).

• Provision for credit losses of $17.2 million, compared to $29.1 million.

• Net loan charge-offs of $20.0 million, or 30 basis points of average total gross loans (annualized), compared to $13.5 million, or 22 basis points.

• Net gains on investment securities, of $32.2 million, compared to $36.1 million. Non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, were $25.6 million, compared to non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $26.4 million. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”)

• Net gains on equity warrant assets of $34.1 million, compared to $19.1 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 these non-GAAP measures to the most closely related GAAP measures 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 21.0 percent for 2018 and 35.0 percent for 2017. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $6.2 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

(3) Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly average assets.

(4) Ratio represents annualized consolidated net income available to common stockholders divided by quarterly average SVB Financial Group ("SVBFG") stockholders’ equity.

(5) Ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense by total net interest income plus noninterest income.

(6) 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 $496.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $468.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. The $27.6 million increase from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018, was attributable primarily to the following:

• An increase in interest income from loans of $22.1 million to $352.4 million for the third quarter of 2018. The increase was reflective primarily of the impact of $1.5 billion in average loan growth, higher interest rates compared to the second quarter of 2018 and one additional day in the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by lower loan fee income. Overall loan yields decreased 2 basis points, to 5.31 percent primarily due to lower loan fees. Gross loan yields, excluding loan interest recoveries and loan fees, increased 9 basis points to 4.81 percent, as compared to 4.72 percent for the second quarter of 2018, reflective primarily of the full-quarter effect of the Federal Funds target rate increase in June 2018 as well as continued increases in LIBOR rates; however, LIBOR rate increases have been minimal in the third quarter of 2018 relative to the increases in the first and second quarters ended 2018. Additionally, benefits from the rate increases on our gross loan yields in the third quarter of 2018 continue to be impacted by pricing competition. Loan fee yields decreased 11 basis points, or $4.7 million, primarily due to lower fee income from decreased levels of loan prepayments in the quarter.

• An increase in interest income from our fixed income investment securities in our available-for-sale ("AFS") and held-to-maturity ("HTM") portfolios of $8.8 million to $155.7 million for the third quarter of 2018. The increase was reflective of higher spreads from the continued reinvestment of maturing fixed income investment securities at higher-yielding rates as well as growth in average fixed income securities of $0.3 billion. Our overall yield from our fixed income securities portfolio increased 8 basis points to 2.42 percent, primarily attributable to the higher reinvestment rates.

• The above increases were offset by an increase in interest expense of $5.2 million, due to an increase in short-term borrowings primarily to fund loan growth as a result of the timing of loan funding and deposit activities at the end of the third quarter of 2018, as well as an increase in interest paid on our interest-bearing money market deposits due to market rate adjustments.

3

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.62 percent for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 3.59 percent for the second quarter of 2018. Our net interest margin increased primarily as a result of the impact of rising interest rates on gross loans and fixed income investment securities yields, offset by lower loan fee income and increased short-term borrowings to primarily fund loan growth.

For the third quarter of 2018, approximately 92.8 percent, or $24.6 billion, of our average gross loans were variable-rate loans that adjust at prescribed measurement dates. Of our variable-rate loans, approximately 67.1 percent are tied to prime-lending rates and 32.9 percent are tied to LIBOR.

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio is comprised of: (i) our AFS and HTM securities portfolios, each consisting of fixed income investments which are managed to earn an appropriate portfolio yield over the long-term while maintaining sufficient liquidity and addressing our asset/liability management objectives; and (ii) our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio, which represents primarily investments managed as part of our funds management business as well as public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised. Our total average fixed income investment securities portfolio increased $0.3 billion, or 1.4 percent, to $25.5 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Our total period-end fixed income investment securities portfolio decreased $0.5 billion, or 2.0 percent, to $25.0 billion at September 30, 2018. The weighted-average duration of our fixed income investment securities portfolio was 3.9 years at September 30, 2018, and 3.7 years at June 30, 2018. Our period-end non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio increased $43.7 million to $896.2 million ($765.3 million net of noncontrolling interests) at September 30, 2018.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Average AFS securities were $9.6 billion for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $10.1 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Period-end AFS securities were $9.1 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $9.6 billion at June 30, 2018. The decreases in average and period-end AFS security balances from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018 were due to $0.8 billion in portfolio paydowns and maturities during the third quarter of 2018 partially offset by purchases of $0.3 billion in U.S. Treasury securities. The weighted-average duration of our AFS securities portfolio was 2.1 years at both September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

Held-to-Maturity Securities

Average HTM securities were $15.9 billion for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $15.1 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Period-end HTM securities were $15.9 billion at both September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018. The increase in average HTM security balances from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the full-quarter impact of $1.8 billion in new purchases towards the end of the second quarter of 2018 as well as new purchases of $0.6 billion in mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds purchased early in the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by $0.5 billion in portfolio paydowns and maturities during the third quarter of 2018. The weighted-average duration of our HTM securities portfolio was 4.9 years at September 30, 2018 and 4.7 years at June 30, 2018.

Non-Marketable and Other Equity Securities

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, our China joint venture bank, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies and investments in qualified affordable housing projects.

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio increased $43.7 million to $896.2 million ($765.3 million net of noncontrolling interests) at September 30, 2018, compared to $852.5 million ($722.3 million net of noncontrolling interests) at June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to exercised equity warrant assets, new direct equity investments and an increase in new investments within our qualified housing projects portfolio.Reconciliations of our non-GAAP non-marketable and other equity 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 $1.5 billion to $26.3 billion for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $24.9 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Period-end loans (net of unearned income) increased by $1.5 billion to $27.5 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $26.0 billion at June 30, 2018. Average and period-end loan growth came primarily from our private equity/venture capital portfolio as well as from our life science/healthcare and private bank portfolios.

Loans (individually or in the aggregate) to any single client, equal to or greater than $20 million increased by $1.3 billion and totaled $13.9 billion or 50.3 percent of total gross loans at September 30, 2018 and $12.6 billion or 48.3 percent of total gross loans at June 30, 2018. Further details are provided under the section “Loan Concentrations."

(1) The “allowance for unfunded credit commitments” is included as a component of “other liabilities.”

Our allowance for loan losses decreased $1.0 million to $285.7 million due primarily to a decrease in reserves for nonaccrual loans of $3.7 million, offset by a net increase in our performing reserves of $2.7 million. The net increase in our performing reserves consisted primarily of an increase in reserves reflective of $1.5 billion in period-end loan growth, offset by a decrease in the qualitative component of our performing loan reserves reflective of the continued growth of large private equity/venture capital loans that have a higher credit quality. As a percentage of total gross loans, our allowance for loan losses decreased seven basis points to 1.03 percent at September 30, 2018, compared to 1.10 percent at June 30, 2018. The seven basis point decrease was reflective of the decrease in reserves for our performing loans of four basis points driven primarily by the decrease in our qualitative large loans reserves as well as a decrease in reserves for our nonperforming loans of three basis points reflective of the decrease in nonaccrual loans as a percentage of our overall loan portfolio.

5

Our provision for credit losses was $17.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, consisting of the following:

• A provision for loan losses of $19.4 million, which reflects primarily an increase of $12.9 million in additional reserves for period-end loan growth, $9.2 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for and $9.3 million in net new specific reserves for nonaccrual loans, offset by a decrease in reserves of $8.2 million reflective of the decrease in qualitative reserves mentioned above, and

• A reduction of the allowance for unfunded credit commitments of $2.2 million, driven primarily by a decrease in reserves reflective primarily of the continued shift in the mix of our unfunded credit facilities consisting of large, high credit quality private equity/venture capital loans.

Gross loan charge-offs were $22.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, of which $9.2 million was not specifically reserved for at June 30, 2018. Gross loan charge-offs included $12.7 million from our hardware loan portfolio and consisted primarily of $11.1 million for one early-stage client and $6.3 million from our software/internet loan portfolio primarily attributable to one mid-stage client.

Nonaccrual loans were $115.2 million at September 30, 2018, compared to $124.8 million at June 30, 2018. Our nonaccrual loan balance decreased $9.6 million primarily as a result of $13.1 million in charge-offs and $14.8 million in repayments, offset by $18.3 million in new nonaccrual loans. Charge-offs of $11.1 million were attributable to one client in our hardware loan portfolio. New nonaccrual loans were primarily from loans in our software/internet loan portfolio. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total gross loans decreased to 0.42 percent for the third quarter of 2018 compared to 0.48 percent for the second quarter of 2018.

The allowance for loan losses for nonaccrual loansdecreased $3.7 million to $50.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease was due to $11.1 million of charge-offs for one client which was fully reserved for and $6.6 million in repayments, offset by new nonaccrual loan reserves of $15.9 million.

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 $128.7 billion for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $119.3 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Period-end total client funds were $130.7 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $124.7 billion at June 30, 2018.

Average off-balance sheet client investment funds were $79.6 billion for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $71.3 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Average on-balance sheet deposits were $49.1 billion for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $48.0 billion for the second quarter of 2018. Period-end off-balance sheet client investment funds were $82.1 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $75.8 billion at June 30, 2018. Period-end on-balance sheet deposits were $48.6 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $48.9 billion at June 30, 2018.

The increases in our average and period-end total client funds from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018 were a result of client fund growth across all portfolio segments driven primarily by an equity funding environment that has remained strong, robust activities in the initial public offering ("IPO") and secondary public offering markets and healthy new client acquisition.

Short-term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings increased $2.2 billion, to $2.6 billion for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $0.4 billion for the second quarter of 2018, primarily to fund loan growth as a result of the timing of loan funding and deposit activities at the end of the third quarter of 2018 as well as to support the short-term liquidity needs of Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank").

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $210.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $192.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP noninterest income, net of noncontrolling interests was $203.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $183.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. (See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used under the section "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.")

6

The increase of $17.4 million ($20.1 million net of noncontrolling interests) in noninterest income from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018 was attributable primarily to higher net gains on equity warrant assets and higher client investment fees. Items impacting noninterest income for the third quarter of 2018 were as follows:

Gains on investment securities of $32.2 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $36.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net of noncontrolling interests, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities were $25.6 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to net gains of $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. The non-GAAP net gains, net of noncontrolling interests, of $25.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 were driven by the following:

◦ Gains of $11.5 million from our strategic and other investments, comprised primarily of net unrealized valuation increases in private company investments held in our strategic venture capital funds,

◦ Gains of $7.0 million from our managed funds of funds portfolio, related primarily to net unrealized valuation increases in private company investments held by the funds in the portfolio, and

◦ Gains of $4.4 million from our public equity securities portfolio primarily attributable to $5.2 million in unrealized gains related to our holdings of one company that had an IPO during the third quarter of 2018.

The following tables provide a summary of non-GAAP net gains (losses) on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively:

	Three months ended September 30, 2018

Net gains on equity warrant assets were $34.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $19.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net gains on equity warrant assets for the third quarter of 2018 were attributable primarily to net gains from exercises of $18.3 million of equity warrant assets driven by IPO and M&A activity and $17.3 million of valuation increases in our private company warrant portfolio driven by healthy funding rounds.

At September 30, 2018, we held warrants in 2,031 companies with a total fair value of $147.0 million. Warrants in 18 companies each had fair values greater than $1.0 million and collectively represented $42.8 million, or 29.1 percent, of the fair value of the total warrant portfolio at September 30, 2018.

The following table provides a summary of our net gains on equity warrant assets:

	Three months ended									Nine months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2018			June 30, 2018			September 30, 2017			September 30, 2018			September 30, 2017
Equity warrant assets:
Gains on exercises, net	$	18,287		$	8,875		$	7,449		$	42,808		$	22,482
Cancellations and expirations	(1,432		)	(826		)	(757		)	(3,158		)	(3,614		)

Total net gains on equity warrant assets	$	34,141		$	19,061		$	24,922		$	72,393		$	42,432

The gains (or losses) from investment securities from our nonmarketable and other equity securities portfolio as well as our equity warrant assets resulting from changes in valuations (fair values) are currently unrealized, and the extent to which such gains (or losses) will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including among other things, performance of the underlying portfolio companies, investor demand for IPOs, fluctuations in the underlying valuation of these companies, levels of M&A activity, and legal and contractual restrictions on our ability to sell the underlying securities.

Non-GAAP core fee income (foreign exchange fees, credit card fees, deposit service charges, lending related fees, client investment fees and letters of credit and standby letters of credit fees) increased $8.6 million to $131.7 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $123.1 million for the second quarter of 2018.

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

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2018		June 30, 2018		September 30, 2017		September 30, 2018		September 30, 2017
Non-GAAP core fee income:
Foreign exchange fees	$	32,656	$	34,077	$	29,671	$	100,560	$	82,026
Credit card fees	24,121		22,926		20,270		68,739		56,099
Deposit service charges	19,588		18,794		14,508		56,081		43,046
Client investment fees	36,265		29,452		15,563		88,592		37,571
Lending related fees	10,675		9,528		15,404		30,938		32,874
Letters of credit and standby letters of credit fees	8,409		8,347		7,306		24,938		20,951
Total Non-GAAP core fee income	$	131,714	$	123,124	$	102,722	$	369,848	$	272,567

The increase in non-GAAP core fee income from the second quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2018 was primarily the result of strong performance in client investment fees as well as increased credit card fees and lending related fees. Client investment fees increased $6.8 million driven by higher fees from our off-balance sheet client investment fund products due to increases in client investment fund balances as well as higher market rates. Credit card fees increased $1.2 million due to higher interchange fee income reflective of increased transaction volumes. Lending related fees increased $1.1 million driven by fees earned from unused lines of credit.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $309.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $305.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increase of $3.7 million in noninterest expense consisted primarily of an increase in our total compensation and benefits expense offset by decreased professional services expenses in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2018.

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

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
(Dollars in thousands, except employees)	September 30, 2018		June 30, 2018		September 30, 2017		September 30, 2018		September 30, 2017
Compensation and benefits:
Salaries and wages	$	84,962	$	76,831	$	72,799	$	234,832	$	207,687
Incentive compensation plans	55,531		52,473		36,271		150,393		104,578
Employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP")	1,844		1,909		1,397		4,997		3,732
Other employee incentives and benefits (1)	53,100		50,742		42,796		152,976		133,415
Total compensation and benefits	$	195,437	$	181,955	$	153,263	$	543,198	$	449,412
Period-end full-time equivalent employees	2,836		2,626		2,433		2,836		2,433
Average full-time equivalent employees	2,778		2,591		2,434		2,623		2,384

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

The $13.5 million increase in total compensation and benefits expense consists primarily of the following:

• An increase of $8.1 million in salaries and wages reflective primarily of an increase in the number of average full-time equivalent employees ("FTE") by 187 to 2,778 FTEs for the third quarter of 2018 as well as retention incentives paid for key employees,

• An increase of $3.1 million in incentive compensation expense reflective primarily of our strong full-year expected performance as well as an increase in average FTEs mentioned above, and

• An increase of $2.4 million in other employee incentives and benefits due primarily from an increase in warrant incentive plan expense reflective primarily of our strong net gains on equity warrant assets.

The $10.3 million decrease in professional services expense is primarily reflective of the $6.0 million write-off for capitalized costs related to Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review ("CCAR") recorded in the second quarter of 2018 as well as lower overall project spend in the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 25.8 percent for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 24.5 percent for the second quarter of 2018. 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.

The increase in our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2018 is due primarily to an $8.8 million decrease in the recognition of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation in the third quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2018 which is reflective of the timing of vesting for our annual awards and the exercise activities of employees. The decrease was offset by an increase in tax benefits of $4.6 million related primarily to Federal return-to-provision adjustments on timing differences which have a permanent impact on the Company's effective tax rate due to the corporate income tax rate change effective January 1, 2018.

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 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									Nine months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2018			June 30, 2018			September 30, 2017			September 30, 2018			September 30, 2017
Net interest income (1)	$	(10	)	$	(10	)	$	(9	)	$	(29	)	$	(26	)
Noninterest income (1)	(2,749		)	(7,856		)	(4,341		)	(20,127		)	(19,059		)
Noninterest expense (1)	154			227			125			349			517
Carried interest allocation (2)	(3,943		)	(1,589		)	(1,273		)	(9,034		)	(2,650		)
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	$	(6,548	)	$	(9,228	)	$	(5,498	)	$	(28,841	)	$	(21,218	)

(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 income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2018 was primarily a result of net gains on investment securities (including carried interest allocation) from our managed funds of funds portfolio, related primarily to net unrealized valuation increases for private company investments held by the funds in the portfolio.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

Total SVBFG stockholders’ equity increased by $0.2 billion to $4.9 billion at September 30, 2018, compared to $4.7 billion at June 30, 2018, due to net income of $274.8 million and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $13.4 million attributable primarily to amortization of share-based compensation partially offset by an increase of $21.5 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss reflective primarily of a decrease in the fair value of our AFS securities portfolio of $17.9 million, net of tax, driven by increases in period-end market interest rates.

Capital Ratios

Our regulatory risk-based capital ratios increased as of September 30, 2018, compared to the same ratios as of June 30, 2018, primarily as a result of a proportionally higher increase in capital from net income compared to the increase in risk-weighted assets for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in risk-weighted assets was primarily due to our robust loan growth for the third quarter of 2018.

Both SVB Financial Group and the Bank's tier 1 leverage ratios increased as of September 30, 2018, compared to June 30, 2018, due to proportionally higher capital from net income to average assets growth during the third quarter of 2018.

Overall, increases to the Bank's risk-based capital and tier 1 leverage ratios were partially offset by a $40.0 million cash dividend paid by the Bank to our bank holding company, SVB Financial Group, during the third quarter of 2018.

All of our reported capital ratios remain above the levels considered to be “well capitalized” under applicable banking regulations. See the "SVB Financial and Bank Capital Ratios" section, at the end of this release, for details.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2018, and Preliminary 2019 Outlook for Selected Items

Our outlook for the year ending December 31, 2018, and our preliminary outlook for selected items for the year ending December 31, 2019, 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. Except for the items noted below, we do not provide an outlook for certain items (such as gains or losses from warrants and investment securities) where the timing or financial impact are 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. Also, as a result of the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJ Act"), we have included guidance on our expected effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2018. The outlook and the underlying 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 full year ending December 31, 2018, compared to our full year 2017 results, we currently expect the following outlook: (Note that the outlook below includes: (i) the expected impact of the March 22, 2018, June 13, 2018 and September 26, 2018 increases of the target Federal Funds rate by the Federal Reserve of 25 basis points each as well as the increases in the 1- and 3- month LIBOR rates through September 30, 2018, and no assumptions about any further Federal Funds or LIBOR rate changes during 2018, and (ii) management updates to certain 2018 outlook metrics we previously disclosed on July 26, 2018.)

	Current full year 2018 outlook compared to 2017 results (as of October 25, 2018)	Change in outlook compared to outlook reported as of July 26, 2018
Average loan balances	Increase at a percentage rate in the low twenties	Outlook increased to low twenties from previous outlook of high teens
Average deposit balances	Increase at a percentage rate in the low teens	No change from previous outlook
Net interest income (1)	Increase at a percentage rate in the mid-thirties	No change from previous outlook
Net interest margin (1)	Between 3.55% and 3.65%	No change from previous outlook
Allowance for loan losses for total gross performing loans as a percentage of total gross performing loans	Comparable to 2017 levels	No change from previous outlook
Net loan charge-offs	Between 0.20% and 0.40% of average total gross loans	No change from previous outlook
Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total gross loans	Between 0.40% and 0.60% of total gross loans	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  mid-thirties	Outlook increased to mid-thirties from previous outlook of low thirties
Noninterest expense (excluding expenses related to noncontrolling interests) (3) (4)	Increase at a percentage rate in the mid-teens	Outlook increased to mid-teens from previous outlook of low teens
Effective tax rate (5)	Between 26.0% and 28.0%	No change from previous outlook

Preliminary 2019 Outlook for Selected Items

Our preliminary full year 2019 outlook for selected items provided below is based on various management assumptions, including: (a) no increase in market interest rates, and (b) no material deterioration in the overall economy. For the full year ending December 31, 2019, compared to our full year ending December 31, 2018, expected results, we currently expect the following percentage rate increases:

◦average loan balance growth in the mid-teens,

◦average deposit balance growth in the high single digits,

◦net interest income growth in the high teens (assuming no Federal Reserve rate increases),

◦net loan charge-offs between 0.20% and 0.40% of average total gross loans,

◦non-GAAP core fee income² growth in the mid-teens, and

◦ non-GAAP noninterest expense³ growth (excluding expenses related to noncontrolling interests) in the mid-teens.

11

Our 2019 outlook is preliminary and subject to change.

(1) Our outlook for net interest income and net interest margin is based primarily 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, actual prepayment rates and other factors described under the section "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

(2) Core fee income is a non-GAAP measure, which represents noninterest income, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control. As we are unable to quantify such line items that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure for the future period presented without unreasonable efforts, no reconciliation for the outlook of non-GAAP core fee income to GAAP noninterest income for fiscal 2018 is included in this release, as we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this release for further information regarding the calculation and limitations of this measure.

(3) Noninterest expense (excluding expenses related to noncontrolling interests) is a non-GAAP measure, which represents noninterest expense, but excludes expenses attributable to noncontrolling interests. As we are unable to quantify such line items that would be required to be included in the comparable GAAP financial measure for the future period presented without unreasonable efforts, no reconciliation for the outlook of non-GAAP noninterest expense (excluding expenses related to noncontrolling interests) to GAAP noninterest expense for fiscal 2018 is included in this release, as we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this release for further information regarding the calculation and limitations of this measure.

(4) 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.

(5) Our outlook for our effective tax rate is based on management's current assumptions with respect to, among other things, the Company's earnings, state income tax levels, tax deductions and estimated performance-based compensation activity. Such forecasts are subject to change, and actual results may differ, based on variations of the expected impact of the TCJ Act and other factors described under the section "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

(1) Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standard update ("ASU") 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, resulting in the reclassification of public equity securities out of our AFS securities portfolio into our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio. In addition, upon adoption of this guidance, equity investments carried at cost in our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio were remeasured, and are carried, at fair value. This guidance was adopted using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings. As such, prior period amounts have not been restated.

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 (including, but not limited to, non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP noninterest income, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, non-GAAP non-marketable and other equity securities, non-GAAP noninterest expense and non-GAAP financial ratios) of financial performance. These supplemental performance measures may vary from, and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by other companies in our industry. 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. We believe these measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. 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 certain SVB Capital funds. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than us are reflected under “Net 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 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. Risk-based capital guidelines require a minimum level of capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets are calculated by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. 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, if any.

• 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 revenue, after adjusting both amounts by income (losses) and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests and adjustments to net interest income for a taxable equivalent basis.

• 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 or losses on investment securities, equity warrant assets and other noninterest income items.
