SVB FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCES 2021 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on Series A, B, C, D and E Preferred Stock

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — January 20, 2022 — SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ: SIVB) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $371 million, or $6.22 per diluted common share, compared to $365 million, or $6.24 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021 and $388 million, or $7.40 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. Consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $1.8 billion, or $31.25 per diluted common share, compared to $1.2 billion, or $22.87 per diluted common share, for the comparable 2020 period. Included in the consolidated net income available to common stockholders for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 are merger-related charges of $27 million and $129 million, or $0.34 and $1.68 per diluted common share, respectively. Net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 also included a day one provision on non-purchased credit deteriorated loans and unfunded credit commitments acquired from Boston Private of $46 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, incurred in the third quarter of 2021.

“Our fourth quarter was a strong finish to an exceptional year of growth driven by outstanding client liquidity, with continued robust balance sheet and core fee income growth, excellent credit quality, and healthy market-related gains," said Greg Becker, President and CEO of SVB Financial Group. "Against this backdrop, we are starting 2022 on strong footing: our client markets remain vibrant, despite ongoing pandemic-related challenges and concerns over rising inflation; we are firing on all cylinders in terms of client acquisition and execution of our strategy. If interest rate increases materialize as the markets predict, we would expect them to significantly add to our earnings on top of our already positive 2022 outlook, while opening up additional investment opportunities.”

Highlights of our fourth quarter 2021 results (compared to third quarter 2021, unless otherwise noted) included:

•Average loans of $62.6 billion, an increase of $3.3 billion (or 5.5 percent).

•Period-end loans of $66.3 billion, an increase of $4.8 billion (or 7.8 percent).

•Average fixed income investment securities of $111.7 billion, an increase of $17.9 billion (or 19.1 percent).

•Period-end fixed income investment securities of $125.4 billion, an increase of $20.1 billion (or 19.0 percent).

•Average total client funds (on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investment funds) increased $36.0 billion (or 10.1 percent) to $390.6 billion, which includes an increase in average on-balance sheet deposits of $19.7 billion (or 12.0 percent).

•Period-end total client funds increased $27.9 billion (or 7.5 percent) to $399.3 billion, which includes an increase in period-end on-balance sheet deposits of $18.0 billion (or 10.5 percent).

•Issuance of $1.0 billion in depositary shares representing ownership interests in shares of Series D Preferred Stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $988 million.

•Issuance of $600 million in depositary shares representing ownership interests in shares of Series E Preferred Stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $593 million.

•Issuance of $650 million of 1.800% Senior Notes due October 2026.

•Period-end Private Bank Assets Under Management (“AUM”) of $19.6 billion, flat from the prior quarter.

•Net interest income (fully taxable equivalent basis) of $947 million, an increase of $88 million (or 10.2 percent).

•Provision for credit losses was $48 million, compared to $21 million.

•Net loan charge-offs of $1 million, or 1 basis point of average total loans (annualized) compared to $11 million, or 7 basis points.

•Noninterest income of $561 million, a decrease of $111 million (or 16.5 percent). Non-GAAP core fee income increased $12 million (or 5.9 percent) to $216 million. Non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue increased $38 million (or 35.5 percent) to $145 million. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”)

•Net gains on investment securities of $100 million compared to $189 million. Non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, were $86 million, compared to $101 million. (See non-GAAP reconciliation under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”)

•Net gains on equity warrant assets of $69 million, compared to $147 million.

•Noninterest expense of $902 million, an increase of $23 million (or 2.6 percent).

•Operating efficiency ratio of 60.1 percent, compared to 57.7 percent. The decline in our operating efficiency is due to the increase in noninterest expense, driven primarily by higher compensation and benefits expense and the decrease in noninterest income, driven primarily by lower net gains on investment securities and net gains on equity warrant assets in the fourth quarter of 2021.

•Acquisition of MoffettNathanson LLC, a technology equity research firm, on December 10, 2021.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") Pandemic Update

During the fourth quarter of 2021, our overall credit trends remained stable, and our business and clients continued to demonstrate remarkable resilience and growth despite the continuing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the recent spread of the Omicron variant of COVID-19. We continue to carefully monitor the broader economic environment, which could be impacted by the continued spread of the Omicron variant, the emergence of new variants, vaccination mandates, delays in vaccination programs and the integration of vaccine booster shots into those programs, vaccination rates, potential government-imposed lockdowns, and related supply chain constraints and inflationary pressures. We continue to manage through these challenges with a focus on supporting our clients, employees and communities.

(2)This metric for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2021 includes the impact of an $80 million charge-off related to potentially fraudulent activity discussed in previous filings.

(3)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.”

(4)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. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, $7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, $7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, $6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and $4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $28 million and $16 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

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

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

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

(8)Ratio represents annualized total cost of deposits and is calculated by dividing interest expense from deposits by average total deposits.

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

(10)Tangible book value per common share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by total outstanding common shares. Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure defined under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio is comprised of: (i) our available-for-sale ("AFS") and held-to-maturity ("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 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 $17.9 billion, or 19.1 percent, to $111.7 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2021. Our total period-end fixed income investment securities portfolio increased $20.1 billion, or 19.0 percent, to $125.4 billion at December 31, 2021. Our period-end non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio was consistent with the prior quarter at $2.5 billion ($2.2 billion net of noncontrolling interests) at December 31, 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2021.

The weighted-average duration of our total fixed income securities portfolio was 4.0 years at December 31, 2021 and 4.5 years at September 30, 2021. The total notional value of our pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap fair value hedge contracts for AFS securities was $10.7 billion as of December 31, 2021. The weighted-average duration of our total fixed income securities portfolio, including the impact of our fair value swaps, was 3.7 years at December 31, 2021 and 4.0 years at September 30, 2021.

AFS Securities

Average AFS securities were $24.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $23.3 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Period-end AFS securities were $27.2 billion at December 31, 2021 compared to $23.0 billion at September 30, 2021. The increases in both average and period-end AFS securities were driven by purchases of $6.8 billion, partially offset by sales of AFS securities of $1.4 billion and paydowns and maturities of $877 million. The weighted-average duration of our AFS securities portfolio was 3.5 years at December 31, 2021 and 3.8 years at September 30, 2021. The weighted-average duration of AFS securities portfolio including the impact of our fair value swaps was 2.4 years at December 31, 2021 and 2.3 years at September 30, 2021.

HTM Securities

Average HTM securities were $87.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $70.5 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Period-end HTM securities were $98.2 billion at December 31, 2021 compared to $82.4 billion at September 30, 2021. The increases in both average and period-end HTM securities were driven by purchases of $20.4 billion, partially offset by $4.4 billion in paydowns and maturities during the quarter. The weighted-average duration of our HTM securities portfolio was 4.1 years at December 31, 2021 and 4.7 years at September 30, 2021.

Loans

Average loans increased by $3.3 billion to $62.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $59.3 billion for the third quarter of 2021. Period-end loans increased $4.8 billion to $66.3 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to $61.5 billion at September 30, 2021. Average and period-end loan growth came primarily from our Global Fund Banking, Technology Banking and Private Bank loan portfolios.

The following table provides a summary of our loans at amortized cost basis broken out by class of financing receivable. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was $947 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $859 million for the third quarter of 2021. The $88 million increase from the third quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2021 was attributable primarily to the following:

•An increase of $66 million in interest income from our fixed income investment securities reflective primarily of a $17.9 billion increase in average fixed income securities.

•An increase of $25 million in interest income from loans due primarily to $3.3 billion in average loan growth.

Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 1.91 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 1.95 percent for the third quarter of 2021. The 4 basis point decrease in our net interest margin was due primarily to the overall shift in balance sheet growth into lower yielding fixed income investment securities.

For the fourth quarter of 2021, approximately 91percent, or $56.9 billion, of our average loans were variable-rate loans that adjust at prescribed measurement dates. Of our variable-rate loans, approximately 68 percent are tied to prime-lending rates and 32 percent are tied to LIBOR.

With the December 31, 2021, cessation of most global LIBOR rates including the 1-week and 2-month USD LIBOR tenors, SVB is offering products tied to alternate reference rates for clients today across USD (SOFR), GBP (SONIA), and EUR (€STR). For USD, SVB supports Term SOFR (1-,3-, and 6-month tenors) and Daily Simple SOFR conventions. We are currently focused on legacy contracts and continued migration away from LIBOR to alternate reference rates. SVB does not expect any material changes in net interest income or net interest expense from product spread adjustments as a result of offering alternative reference rates.

(1)The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2021 includes $46 million recognized as a result of the Boston Private acquisition, which consists of a $44 million provision for loan losses related to non-PCD loans and a $2 million provision for unfunded commitments.

(2)Metrics for the year ended December 31, 2021 include the impact of an $80 million charge-off related to potentially fraudulent activity discussed in previous filings.

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

(4)The "allowance for credit losses for HTM securities" is included as a component of HTM securities and presented net in our consolidated financial statements.

Our allowance for credit losses for loans increased $24 million to $422 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $398 million at September 30, 2021.The $24 million increase was driven primarily byan increase of $20 million in our performing reserves for loan growth and a $2 million increase in reserves for nonaccrual loans. As a percentage of total loans, our allowance for credit losses for loans decreased 1 basis point to 0.64 percent at December 31, 2021, compared to 0.65 percent at September 30, 2021.

The provision for credit losses was $48 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, consisting of the following:

•A provision for credit loss for loans of $25 million, driven primarily by a $20 million provision for loan growth, and an increase of $8 million for charge-offs not previously reserved for. These increases were partially offset by an $8 million reduction for recoveries.

•A provision for credit loss for unfunded credit commitments of $22 million, driven primarily by commitment growth.

•A provision for credit losses for HTM securities of $1 million, driven primarily by the continued growth of our corporate bond portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Gross loan charge-offs were $9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, of which $8 million was not specifically reserved for at September 30, 2021. Gross loan charge-offs were partly driven by a $3 million charge-off from one Investor Dependent - Growth Stage client. The remaining $5 million gross loan charge-offs were driven primarily by our Investor Dependent and Innovation C&I loan portfolios.

Nonaccrual loans were $84 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $114 million at September 30, 2021. Our nonaccrual loan balance decreased $30 million driven primarily by $59 million in repayments, which were partially offset by $31 million of new nonaccrual loans. Of the $59 million in repayments, $22 million was from one Investor Dependent - Later Stage client and $14 million from one CRE client. In addition, we received partial payment for a $17 million Premium Wine loan that in turn enabled the remaining balance to be upgraded and restored to accrual. The $31 million of new nonaccrual loans was driven primarily by clients in our Private Bank and Investor Dependent - Early Stage portfolios. Nonperforming loans, which includes nonaccrual loans of $84 million as well as $7 million of loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest, as a percentage of total loans decreased 5 basis points to 0.14 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 0.19 percent for the third quarter of 2021.

The allowance for credit losses for nonaccrual loans increased $2 million to $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was due primarily to $10 million in additional reserves for nonaccrual loans, partially offset by $8 million in repayments. The additional reserves were driven primarily by our Investor Dependent clients, including $3 million from one Investor Dependent - Early Stage client. Repayments were driven primarily by clients in our Investor Dependent and Investor C&I portfolios, including $4 million from one Investor Dependent - Early Stage client.

The increases in our average and period-end Total Client Funds from the third quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2021 reflect growth in both on-balance sheet deposits and off-balance sheet client investments. We saw Total Client Funds growth across all portfolios, with the primary contributor coming from our Technology Banking portfolio, driven by continued strong private fundraising activity.

Private Bank Assets Under Management ("AUM")

AUM consists of the Private Bank's client investment account balances and generates fee income included in our new financial statement line item "Wealth management and trust fees" included in our consolidated statements of income. The following table summarizes the activity relating to AUM for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021:

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $561 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $672 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was driven by lower net gains on investment securities and net gains on equity warrant assets, partially offset by increases in investment banking revenue and total core fees.

Items impacting noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 were as follows:

Net gains on investment securities

The following tables provide a summary of non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively:

	Three months ended December 31, 2021

(1)Three months ended September 30, 2021 includes gains and losses from debt funds and AFS security sales of less than $1 million.

Non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $86 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by gains in our strategic and other investments portfolio and gains from sales of AFS fixed income securities, partially offset by valuation decreases in our public equity securities portfolio. The strategic and other investments portfolio gains were driven primarily by unrealized gains from one strategic investment.

Net gains on equity warrant assets

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

	Three months ended						Year ended
(Dollars in millions)	December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Equity warrant assets:
Gains on exercises, net	$	44	$	91	$	95	$	446	$	179
Terminations	—		(1)		—		(2)		(2)
Changes in fair value, net	25		57		49		116		60
Total net gains on equity warrant assets	$	69	$	147	$	144	$	560	$	237

Net gains on equity warrant assets for the fourth quarter of 2021 included $44 million of gains on exercises driven primarily by IPO activity during the quarter. The $25 million in net valuation increases were driven by our private company portfolio reflective primarily of pricing updates and pending exit activity.

At December 31, 2021, we held warrants in 2,831 companies with a total fair value of $277 million. Warrants in 47 companies each had fair values greater than $1 million and collectively represented $140 million, or 50.5 percent, of the fair value of the total warrant portfolio at December 31, 2021.

Overall, net gains on investment securities and net gains on equity warrant assets had an exceptional year for 2021. Combined, they totaled $1.3 billion ($1.1 billion net of noncontrolling interest) for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The gains (or losses) from investment securities from our non-marketable 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 and SPACs, 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 plus non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue

The following table provides a summary of our non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue and non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue:

	Three months ended						Year ended
(Dollars in millions)	December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020

Lending related fees	21		21		20		76		57
Letters of credit and standby letters of credit fees	12		13		12		51		47
Total non-GAAP core fee income	$	216	$	204	$	156	$	751	$	603
Investment banking revenue	124		90		133		459		414

Total non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue	$	145	$	107	$	151	$	538	$	481
Total non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue	$	361	$	311	$	307	$	1,289	$	1,084

Non-GAAP core fee income increased from the third quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily reflective of increases in foreign exchange fees and credit card fees which both had record quarters. Foreign exchange fees increased $8 million driven primarily by increased private equity activity. Credit card fees increased $4 million due primarily to increased spending activity, new client growth and relationship expansion.

10

Non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue increased $38 million from the third quarter of 2021 to the fourth quarter of 2021 reflective of an increase in deals led by SVB Leerink.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue and non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue are provided under the section “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $902 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $879 million for the third quarter of 2021. The increase of $23 million from the prior quarter was attributable primarily to increases in our compensation and benefits expense and other noninterest expense, partially offset by a decrease in merger-related charges in the fourth quarter of 2021.

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

	Three months ended						Year ended
(Dollars in millions, except employees)	December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		December 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Compensation and benefits:
Salaries and wages	$	217	$	195	$	140	$	721	$	516
Incentive compensation plans	243		229		173		784		464
Other employee incentives and benefits (1)	137		124		103		510		338
Total compensation and benefits	$	597	$	548	$	416	$	2,015	$	1,318
Period-end full-time equivalent employees	6,567		6,208		4,461		6,567		4,461
Average full-time equivalent employees	6,431		6,024		4,419		5,466		4,040

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

The $49 million increase in total compensation and benefits expense consists primarily of the following:

•An increase of $22 million in salaries and wages expense primarily due to an increase in FTEs across the organization as we continue to invest in our revenue-generating lines of business and support functions,

•An increase of $14 million in incentive compensation plans expense attributable to SVB Leerink, which had increased compensation accruals related to an increase in FTEs and higher revenues for the year, and

•An increase of $13 million in other employee incentives and benefits due primarily to higher share-based payment accruals reflective of reaching certain target performance metrics, increased employer payroll taxes and an increase in employee fringe benefits.

Other noninterest expense increased primarily due to higher investment banking expense driven by deal costs from increased SVB Leerink activity as well as higher miscellaneous expenses reflective primarily of an increase in charitable donations expense driven by year-end giving campaigns.

These increases were partially offset by a decrease in merger-related charges, which were higher in the third quarter of 2021 reflective of several Boston Private merger-related activities.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 26.4 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 27.6 percent for the third quarter of 2021. 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 decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily driven by a provision to return adjustment made during the fourth quarter related to our filed 2020 income tax returns.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

Total SVBFG stockholders’ equity increased by $1.9 billion to $16.2 billionat December 31, 2021, compared to $14.3 billion at September 30, 2021, primarily due to $1.6 billion of capital raised related to our Series D and Series E Preferred Stock issuances and net income of $371 million during the fourth quarter of 2021.

December 31, 2021Preliminary Results

As of December 31, 2021, our Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios for SVB Financial and our CET 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios for Silicon Valley Bank increased compared to September 30, 2021. The increases were due to growth in our capital outpacing growth in our risk-weighted and average assets. Capital for SVB Financial increased primarily due to the issuance of a total of $1.6 billion of preferred stock during the quarter as well as net income. The increase in capital for Silicon Valley Bank was primarily driven by a $1.0 billion downstream capital infusion from our bank holding company during the fourth quarter of 2021 and net income. The increase in our risk-weighted and average assets were driven by increases in our investment securities and loan portfolios. The decrease in our CET 1 risk-based capital ratio for SVB Financial was driven by the growth in our risk weighted assets which outpaced the growth in capital which

excludes our preferred stock. The decrease in our Tier 1 leverage ratio for Silicon Valley Bank was driven by an increase in our average assets which outpaced the increase in our Tier 1 capital.

All of our reported capital ratios remain above the levels considered to be “well capitalized” under applicable banking regulations.

Financial Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2022

Our outlook for the year ending December 31, 2022 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 based on management's assumptions and current expectations. 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 particularly uncertain and/or subject to market or other conditions beyond our control (such as the level of IPO, SPAC, M&A or general financing activity), or for potential unusual or non-recurring items. The outlook and the underlying assumptions presented are, by their nature, forward-looking statements and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions, which are discussed below under the section “Forward-Looking Statements.” Actual results may differ. (For additional information about our financial outlook, please refer to Q4 2021 Earnings Slides. See "Additional Information" below.)

For the full year ending December 31, 2022, compared to our full year 2021 results, we currently expect the following outlook (please note that the outlook below does not include and/or take into account: (i) changes in interest rates, including, but not limited to, changes in the Federal Funds or alternative reference rates, (ii) material deterioration in the overall economy, or (iii) regulatory/policy changes under the current U.S. government administration, and includes management's updates to the preliminary 2022 outlook for selected items previously disclosed on October 21, 2021):

	Preliminary full year 2022 outlook compared to 2021 results (as of October 21, 2021)	Current full year 2022 outlook compared to 2021 results (as of January 20, 2022)
Average loan balances	Mid-twenties growth	Low thirties growth
Average deposit balances	Low forties growth	Low forties growth
Net interest income (1)	Mid-thirties growth	High thirties growth
Net interest margin (1)	1.90% — 2.00%	1.90% — 2.00%
Net loan charge-offs	0.20% — 0.40% of average loans	0.15% — 0.35% of average loans
Core fee income (client investment fees, wealth management and trust fees, foreign exchange fees, credit card fees, deposit service charges, lending related fees and letters of credit fees) (2)	Mid-twenties growth	Mid-twenties growth
SVB Leerink revenue (2)	$625 million — $675 million	$625 million — $675 million
Noninterest expense excluding merger-related charges (3) (4)	Low twenties growth	Low twenties growth
Effective tax rate (5)	25% — 27%	25% — 27%

(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, the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, actual prepayment rates and other factors described under the section "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

(2)Core fee income and SVB Leerink revenue are each non-GAAP measures, which collectively represent noninterest income, but exclude 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 and non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue to GAAP noninterest income for fiscal year ending 2021 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. Core fee income does not include SVB Leerink revenue. SVB Leerink revenue represents investment banking revenue and commissions.

(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.

(4)We expect a total of approximately $40 million of pre-tax merger-related charges ($30 million in the first half of 2022 with the remainder in the second half of 2022).

(5)Our outlook for our effective tax rate is based on management's current assumptions with respect to, among other things, SVB Financial Group's earnings, state income tax levels, tax deductions and estimated performance-based compensation activity and does not include assumptions for potential future tax rate changes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. 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 addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of such words as “becoming,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “assume,” “seek,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” the negative of such words or comparable terminology. In this release, including our CEO's statement and in the section “Financial Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2022,” we make forward-looking statements discussing management’s expectations for 2022 about, among other things, economic conditions; the continuing and potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; opportunities in the market; the outlook on our clients' performance; our financial, credit, and business performance, including loan growth, loan mix and loan yields; deposit growth; expense levels; our expected effective tax rate; accounting impacts; and financial results (and the components of such results).

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we have based these expectations on our current beliefs as well as our assumptions, and such expectations may not prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside our control. Our actual results of operations and financial performance could differ significantly from those expressed in or implied by our management’s forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ from the expectations stated in the forward-looking statements include, among others:

•market and economic conditions (including inflation trends, interest rate volatility, the general condition of the capital and equity markets, and IPO, secondary offering, SPAC fundraising, M&A and financing activity levels) and the associated impact on us (including effects on client demand for our commercial and investment banking and other financial services, as well as on the valuations of our investments);

•the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of the Omicron variant and its effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, and its effects on our operations, including, as a result of, prolonged work-from-home arrangements;

•the impact of changes from the Biden-Harris administration and the U.S. Congress on the economic environment, capital markets and regulatory landscape, including monetary, tax and other trade policies, as well as changes in personnel at the bank regulatory agencies;

•changes in the volume and credit quality of our loans as well as volatility of our levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs;

•the impact of changes in interest rates or market levels or factors affecting or affected by them, especially on our loan and investment portfolios;

•the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses and the need to make provisions for credit losses for any period;

•the sufficiency of our capital and liquidity positions;

•changes in the levels of our loans, deposits and client investment fund balances;

•changes in the performance or equity valuations of funds or companies in which we have invested or hold derivative instruments or equity warrant assets;

•variations from our expectations as to factors impacting our cost structure;

•changes in our assessment of the creditworthiness or liquidity of our clients or unanticipated effects of credit concentration risks which create or exacerbate deterioration of such creditworthiness or liquidity;

•variations from our expectations as to factors impacting the timing and level of employee share-based transactions;

•the occurrence of fraudulent activity, including breaches of our information security or cyber security-related incidents;

•business disruptions and interruptions due to natural disasters and other external events;

•the impact on our reputation and business from our interactions with business partners, counterparties, service providers and other third parties;

•the expansion of our business internationally, and the impact of international market and economic events on us;

•the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models;

•our ability to maintain or increase our market share, including through successfully implementing our business strategy and undertaking new business initiatives, including through the continuing integration of

15

Boston Private and the expansion of our private banking business and the growth and expansion of SVB Leerink, including entry into the technology investment banking sector;

•greater than expected costs or other difficulties related to the continuing integration of our business and that of Boston Private;

•variations from our expectations as to the amount and timing of business opportunities, growth prospects and cost savings associated with the acquisition of Boston Private;

•the inability to retain existing Boston Private clients and employees following the Boston Private acquisition;

•unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or claims, as well as legal or regulatory proceedings or governmental actions;

•variations from our expectations as to factors impacting our estimate of our full-year effective tax rate;

•changes in applicable accounting standards and tax laws; and

•regulatory or legal changes and their impact on us.

The operating and economic environment during the fourth quarter continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of the Omicron variant. Statements about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impacts may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, potential variations of the virus, vaccination rates, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and us.

For additional information about these and other factors, please refer to our public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the caption "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this release are made only as of the date of this release. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update these forward-looking statements.

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 SVB Leerink revenue, non-GAAP core fee income plus non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, non-GAAP non-marketable and other equity securities 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.

Additionally, from time to time, we may make reference to the non-GAAP financial metric of Core EPS in our earnings call and other investor presentations. Non-GAAP Core EPS consists of our net income available to common stockholders less gains or losses on investment securities, equity warrant assets and income and expenses related to SVB Leerink, net of tax, divided by our diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Our management believes this measure to be a useful assessment of our performance as it relates to our core business because it excludes certain financial items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control. A reconciliation of Core EPS to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available with respect to future goals due to our inability to provide a quantitative reconciliation to such 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:

•Non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Leerink revenue — 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 net gains or losses on investment securities, net gains or losses on equity warrant assets and other noninterest income items.

•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, as well as our non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue, and represents client investment fees, wealth management and trust fees, foreign exchange fees, credit card fees, deposit service charges, lending related fees and letters of credit and standby letters of credit fees. We do not provide our outlook for the expected full year results for these excluded items, which include net gains or losses on investment securities, net gains or losses on equity warrant assets and other noninterest income items.

•Non-GAAP SVB Leerink revenue — This measure represents noninterest income but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, as well as our non-GAAP core fee income, and represents investment banking revenue and commissions. We do not provide our outlook for the expected full year results for these excluded items, which include net gains or losses on investment securities, net gains or losses on equity warrant assets and other noninterest income items.

•Tangible common equity, or tangible book value, 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.
