1.    Basis of Presentation

SVB Financial Group is a diversified financial services company, as well as a bank holding company and a financial holding company. SVB Financial was incorporated in the state of Delaware in March 1999. Through our various subsidiaries and divisions, we offer a diverse set of banking and financial products and services to support our clients of all sizes and stages throughout their life cycles. In these notes to our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, when we refer to “SVB,” “SVB Financial Group,” “SVBFG," the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or use similar words, we mean SVB Financial Group and all of its subsidiaries collectively, including Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”), unless the context requires otherwise. When we refer to “SVB Financial” or the “Parent” we are referring only to the parent company, SVB Financial Group (not including subsidiaries).

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with GAAP. Such unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future periods. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”).

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates may change as new information is obtained. Among the more significant estimates are those that relate to: 1) ACL for loans and for unfunded credit commitments, 2) valuation of non-marketable and other equity securities, 3) valuation of equity warrant assets, 4) goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments, and 5) income taxes.

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SVB Financial Group and consolidated entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. For a further description of our accounting policies regarding consolidation refer to Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under Part II, Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Changes include the presentation of our table summarizing the activity relating to our ACL for loans as a result of the acquisition of Boston Private, the consolidation of certain line items in our Consolidated Statement of Stockholders' Equity (unaudited), changes to our reportable segments and consolidation of certain line items in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows (unaudited) and accrued interest receivable and other assets and other liabilities tables within "Consolidated Financial Condition" under Part 1, Item 2 of this report.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a consistent basis with the accounting policies described in Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under Part II, Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

2.    Stockholders' Equity and EPS

AOCI

The following table summarizes the items reclassified out of AOCI into the Consolidated Statements of Income (unaudited) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The table below summarizes the activity relating to net gains and losses on our cash flow hedges included in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Over the next 12 months, we expect that approximately $49 million in AOCI at June 30, 2022, related to unrealized gains will be reclassified out of AOCI and recognized in net income.

EPS

Basic EPS is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issuable for stock options and restricted stock unit awards outstanding under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan and our ESPP. Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive EPS in periods in which the effect would be antidilutive. The following is a reconciliation of basic EPS to diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

3.    Variable Interest Entities

Our involvement with VIEs includes our investments in venture capital and private equity funds, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies, qualified affordable housing projects, and subordinated debt instruments.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and classification of variable interests in consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Long term debt (2)	—		90		$	—
Total liabilities	$	18	$	572	$	—

(1)    Included in our unconsolidated non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are investments in qualified affordable housing projects of $1.1 billion and $954 million, respectively, and related other liabilities consisting of unfunded commitments of $614 million and $482 million, respectively.

(2)    Included in our unconsolidated accrued interest receivable and other assets are investments in statutory trusts for junior subordinated debt and included in long term debt previously issued by Boston Private and assumed in the acquisition of $6 million and $90 million, respectively, at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Non-marketable and other equity securities

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies and qualified affordable housing projects. Many of these are investments held by SVB Financial in third-party funds in which we do not have controlling or significant variable interests. These investments represent our unconsolidated VIEs in the table above. Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio also includes investments from SVB Capital. SVB Capital is the funds management business of SVB Financial Group, which focuses primarily on venture capital investments. The SVB Capital family of funds is comprised of direct venture funds that invest in companies and funds of funds that invest in other venture capital funds. We have a controlling and significant variable interest in 4 of these SVB Capital funds and consolidate these funds for financial reporting purposes.

Most investments are generally nonredeemable, and distributions are expected to be received through the liquidation of the underlying investments throughout the life of the investment fund. Investments may only be sold or transferred subject to the notice and approval provisions of the underlying investment agreement. Subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including the Volcker Rule, we also make commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds. For additional details, see Note 11 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments.”

The Bank also has variable interests in low income housing tax credit funds, in connection with fulfilling its responsibilities under the CRA, that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. These investments are typically limited partnerships in which the general partner, other than the Bank, holds the power over significant activities of the VIE; therefore, these investments are not consolidated. For additional information on our investments in qualified affordable housing projects, see Note 5 — “Investment Securities.".

As of June 30, 2022, our exposure to loss with respect to the consolidated VIEs is limited to our net assets of $837 million and our exposure to loss for our unconsolidated VIEs is equal to our investment in these assets of $1.4 billion.

12

Junior subordinated debentures

SVB Financial Group assumed two statutory trusts during the merger with Boston Private. These trusts were for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in junior subordinated debentures. These statutory trusts created by legacy Boston Private are not consolidated within the financial statements as the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts; however, the total junior subordinated debentures payable to the preferred stockholders of statutory trusts are reported as long-term debt in the financial statements.

4.    Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table details our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Total cash and cash equivalents	$	15,398	$	14,619

(1)At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, securities purchased under agreements to resell were collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. agency securities with aggregate fair values of $554 million and $620 million, respectively. None of these securities were sold or repledged as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

5.    Investment Securities

Our investment securities portfolio consists of: (i) an AFS securities portfolio and a HTM securities portfolio, both of which represent interest-earning investment securities, and (ii) a non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio, which primarily represents investments managed as part of our funds management business, investments in qualified affordable housing projects, as well as public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised.

(1)As of June 30, 2022, we identified a total of 767 investments that were in unrealized loss positions with 143 investments in an unrealized loss position for a period of time greater than 12 months. Based on our analysis of the securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2022, the decline in value is unrelated to credit loss and is related to changes in market interest rates since purchase and therefore changes in value for securities are included in other comprehensive income. Market valuations and credit loss analyses on assets in the AFS securities portfolio are reviewed and monitored on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2022, we do not intend to sell any of our securities in an unrealized loss position prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell any of our securities prior to recovery of our amortized cost basis. None of the investments in our AFS securities portfolio were past due as of June 30, 2022.

None of the investments in our AFS securities portfolio were past due as of December 31, 2021.

The following table summarizes the fixed income securities, carried at fair value, classified as AFS as of June 30, 2022 by the remaining contractual principal maturities. For U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency debentures and foreign government debt securities, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as AFS typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments.

Allowance for Credit Losses for HTM Securities

For HTM securities, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 the ACL balance remained consistent at $6 million. For HTM securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 the beginning ACL balance was $7 million, the reduction of credit losses was $1 million and the ending ACL balance was $6 million.

For HTM securities, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, the beginning ACL balance was $1 million, the provision for credit losses was $4 million and the ending ACL balance was $5 million. For HTM securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 the beginning ACL balance was less than $1 million, the provision for credit losses was $5 million and the ending ACL balance was $5 million.

AIR from HTM securities totaled $220 million at June 30, 2022 and $225 million at December 31, 2021 and is reported in "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" in our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

Credit Quality Indicators

On a quarterly basis, management monitors the credit quality for HTM securities through the use of standard credit ratings. The following table summarizes our amortized cost of HTM securities aggregated by credit quality indicator at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The following table summarizes the remaining contractual principal maturities on fixed income investment securities classified as HTM as of June 30, 2022. For U.S. agency debentures, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected remaining maturities for certain U.S. agency debentures may occur earlier than their contractual maturities because the note issuers have the right to call outstanding amounts ahead of their contractual maturity. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as HTM typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary

based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments; however, we expect to collect substantially all of the recorded investment on these securities.

(2)The carrying value represents investments in 142 and 150 funds (primarily venture capital funds) at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, where our ownership interest is typically less than 5% of the voting interests of each such fund and in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the partnerships operating activities and financial policies. We carry our unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments at fair value based on the fund investments' net asset values per share as obtained from the general partners of the investments. For each fund investment, we adjust the net asset value per share for differences between our measurement date and the date of the fund investment’s net asset value by using the most recently available financial information from the investee general partner, for example March 31st for our June 30th consolidated financial statements, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

17

(3)These investments include direct equity investments in private companies. The carrying value is based on the price at which the investment was acquired plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. We consider a range of factors when adjusting the fair value of these investments, including, but not limited to, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, exit strategies, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and a discount for certain investments that have lock-up restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted.

The following table shows the changes to the carrying amount of other investments without a readily determinable fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

6.    Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses: Loans and Unfunded Credit Commitments

We serve a variety of commercial clients in the private equity/venture capital, technology, life science/healthcare, premium wine and commercial real estate industries. Loans made to private equity/venture capital firm clients typically enable them to fund investments prior to their receipt of funds from capital calls and are reported under the Global Fund Banking class of financing receivable below. Our technology clients generally tend to be in the industries of hardware (such as semiconductors, communications, data, storage and electronics), software/internet (such as infrastructure software, applications, software services, digital content and advertising technology) and ERI. Our life science/healthcare clients primarily tend to be in the industries of biotechnology, medical devices, healthcare information technology and healthcare services. Loans to our technology and life science/healthcare clients are reported under the Investor Dependent, Cash Flow Dependent - SLBO and Innovation C&I classes of financing receivable below. We also make commercial and industrial loans, such as working capital lines and term loans for equipment and fixed assets, to clients that are not in the technology and life science/healthcare industries mainly as a function of our wine and legacy Boston Private portfolios, which are reported in the Other C&I class of financing receivable below. Loans to the premium wine industry focus on vineyards and wineries that produce grapes and wines of high quality. Commercial real estate loans are generally acquisition financing for commercial properties such as office buildings, retail properties, apartment buildings, and industrial/warehouse space, which moving forward will predominantly support the innovation economy segments. In addition to commercial loans, we make consumer loans through SVB Private and provide real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our EHOP.

We also provide community development loans made as part of our responsibilities under the CRA. The majority of these loans are included within the Other loan class below and are primarily secured by real estate. Additionally, beginning in April 2020, we accepted applications under the PPP administered by the SBA under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and originated loans to qualified small businesses. PPP funds under the CARES Act were disbursed throughout 2020 and up to June 30, 2021.

Credit Quality Indicators

For each individual client, we establish an internal credit risk rating for that loan, which is used for assessing and monitoring credit risk as well as performance of the loan and the overall portfolio. Our internal credit risk ratings are also used to summarize the risk of loss due to failure by an individual borrower to repay the loan. For our internal credit risk ratings, each individual loan is given a risk rating of 1 through 10. Loans risk-rated 1 through 4 are performing loans and translate to an internal rating of “Pass,” with loans risk-rated 1 being cash secured. Loans risk-rated 5 through 7 are performing loans; however, we consider them as demonstrating higher risk, which requires more frequent review of the individual exposures; these translate to an internal rating of “Criticized.” All of our nonaccrual loans are risk-rated 8 or 9 and are classified with the internal rating of "Nonperforming." Loans rated 10 are charged-off and are not included as part of our loan portfolio balance. We review our credit quality indicators on a quarterly basis for performance and appropriateness of risk ratings as part of our evaluation process for our ACL for loans.

The following tables summarize the credit quality indicators, broken out by class of financing receivable and vintage year, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Allowance for Credit Losses: Loans

In the second quarter of 2022, the ACL for loans increased by $124 million, driven primarily by a deterioration in projected economic conditions, as well as loan growth, net charge-offs and an increase in nonaccrual reserves.

The Moody's Analytics June 2022 forecast was utilized in our quantitative model for the ACL as of June 30, 2022. The forecast assumptions included a higher starting gross domestic product growth rate, however the overall forecasted growth rate is slower than in previous projections. The June 2022 forecast also included a significantly lower housing price index growth rate, with a small offset from a slightly improved unemployment rate. The overall impact of these assumptions was a slightly worse forecast than that used at March 31, 2022.

Additionally, we determined that a higher weighting should be applied to the economic downturn scenario to align with our expectations as of June 30, 2022. After adjusting the weightings accordingly, we determined the forecast to be a reasonable view of the outlook for the economy given the available information at current quarter end. To the extent we identified credit risk considerations that were not captured by the Moody's Analytics June 2022 forecast or our adjustment to weightings thereof, we addressed the risk through management's qualitative adjustments to our ACL.

We do not estimate expected credit losses on AIR on loans, as AIR is reversed or written off when the full collection of the AIR related to a loan becomes doubtful. AIR on loans totaled $222 million at June 30, 2022 and $171 million at December 31, 2021 and is reported in "Accrued interest receivable and other assets" in our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets.

TDRs

As of June 30, 2022, we had 57 TDRs with a total carrying value of $80 million where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, in an attempt to maximize collection. We had $2 million of unfunded commitments available for funding to the clients associated with these TDRs as of June 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes our loans modified in TDRs, broken out by class of financing receivable at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Total loans modified in TDRs during the period (1)	$	19	$	2	$	21	$	17

(1)There were no partial charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and $5 million of partial charge-offs for the six months then ended. There were $6 million and $7 million of partial charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, new TDRs of $19 million were modified through payment deferrals granted to our clients. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, new TDRs of $1 million were modified through forgiveness of principal and $1 million through payment deferrals.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, new TDRs of $19 million were modified through payment deferrals granted to our clients, $1 million were modified through term extensions and $1 million were modified through settlement. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, $14 million were modified through payment deferrals granted to our clients and $3 million were modified through forgiveness of principal.

Of loans modified in TDRs within the previous 12 months, none had defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Charge-offs and defaults on previously restructured loans are evaluated to determine the impact to the ACL for loans, if any. The evaluation of these defaults may impact the assumptions used in calculating the reserve on other TDRs and nonaccrual loans as well as management’s overall outlook of macroeconomic factors that affect the reserve on the loan portfolio as a whole. After evaluating the charge-offs and defaults experienced on our TDRs we determined that no change to our reserving methodology for TDRs was necessary to determine the ACL for loans as of June 30, 2022.

ACL: Unfunded Credit Commitments

We maintain a separate ACL for unfunded credit commitments that is determined using a methodology that is inherently similar to the methodology used for calculating the ACL for loans. At June 30, 2022, our ACL estimates utilized the Moody's economic forecasts from June 30, 2022 as mentioned above. In the second quarter of 2022, the ACL for unfunded commitments increased by $49 million from the prior quarter, driven primarily by the same deterioration in projected economic conditions described above, including the increased weight we placed on the downturn economic scenario in our model, as well as continued growth in our outstanding commitments.

The following table summarizes the activity relating to our ACL for unfunded credit commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021

(1)The “ACL: unfunded credit commitments” is included as a component of “other liabilities” on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments” of this report for additional disclosures related to our commitments to extend credit.

7.     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $375 million which was a result of goodwill recognized for the acquisitions of SVB Securities, WestRiver Group's debt fund business, Boston Private and MoffettNathanson LLC.

Other Intangible Assets

The components of net other intangible assets were as follows:

	June 30, 2022						December 31, 2021
(Dollars in millions)	Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount		Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Carrying Amount
Other intangible assets:

8.    Derivative Financial Instruments

We primarily use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk and currency exchange rate risk and to assist customers with their risk management objectives, which may include currency exchange rate risks and interest rate risks. Also, in connection with negotiating credit facilities and certain other services, we often obtain equity warrant assets giving us the right to acquire stock in private, venture-backed companies in the technology and life science/healthcare industries.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and can result from timing and volume differences in the repricing of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities and changes in market interest rates. To manage interest rate risk on our interest rate sensitive assets, we have entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against future changes in interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as fair value and cash flow hedges.

Fair Value Hedges

To manage interest rate risk on our AFS securities portfolio, we enter into pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in the fair value of the securities resulting from changes in interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815") and have elected to account for a portion of them using the last-of-layer method as outlined in ASC 815. We record the fair value hedges in other assets and other liabilities. For qualifying fair value hedges, both the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the portion of the fair value adjustments associated with the last-of-layer attributable to the hedged risk will be recognized into earnings as they occur. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item in the line item "investment securities" as part of interest income, a component of consolidated net income.

We assess hedge effectiveness under ASC 815 on a quarterly basis to ensure all hedges remain highly effective and hedge accounting under ASC 815 can be applied. In conjunction with the assessment of effectiveness, we assess the hedged item to ensure it is expected to be outstanding at the hedged item’s assumed maturity date and the last-of-layer method of accounting under ASC 815 can be applied. If the hedging relationship no longer exists or no longer qualifies as a hedge per ASC 815, any remaining fair value basis adjustments are allocated to the individual assets in the portfolio and amortized into earnings over a period consistent with the amortization of other discounts and premiums associated with the respective assets. As allowed under GAAP, we applied the "shortcut" method of accounting to a portion of our fair value hedges which assumes there is perfect effectiveness.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of hedged assets that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying value that have been recorded on our unaudited interim consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022:

	June 30, 2022
(Dollars in millions)	Amortized Cost Basis of the Hedged Assets		Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Included in the Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets (2)
AFS securities (1)	$	9,321	$	(308)

(1)These amounts include the amortized cost basis of closed portfolios used to designate hedging relationships in which the hedged item is the last layer expected to be remaining at the end of the hedging relationship. At June 30, 2022, the amortized cost basis of the closed portfolios used in these hedging relationships was $9.3 billion, the amounts of the designated hedged items was $5.9 billion and the cumulative basis adjustments associated with these hedging relationships was $313 million.

(2)The balance includes $5 million of hedging adjustments on discontinued hedging relationships at June 30, 2022.

Cash Flow Hedges

To manage interest rate risk on our variable-interest rate loan portfolio, we enter into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against future changes in interest rates by using hedging instruments to lock in future cash inflows that would otherwise be impacted by movements in the market interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and record them in other assets and other liabilities. For qualifying cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in AOCI and recognized in earnings as the hedged item affects earnings. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized consistent with the classification of the hedged item in the line item "loans" as part of interest income, a component of consolidated net income.

We assess hedge effectiveness under ASC 815 on a quarterly basis to ensure all hedges remain highly effective and hedge accounting under ASC 815 can be applied. If the hedging relationship no longer exists or no longer qualifies as a hedge per ASC 815, any amounts remaining as gain or loss in AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the line item "loans" as part of

28

interest income, a component of consolidated net income. As of March 31, 2020, all derivatives previously classified as hedges with notional balances totaling $5.0 billion and a net asset fair value of $228 million were terminated. As of June 30, 2022, the total unrealized gains on terminated cash flow hedges remaining in AOCI was $87 million, $62 million net of tax. The unrealized gains will be reclassified into interest income as the underlying forecasted transactions impact earnings through the original maturity of the hedged forecasted transactions. The total remaining term over which the unrealized gains will be reclassified into earnings is approximately three years.

Currency Exchange Risk

We enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure risk associated with the net difference between foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. We do not designate any foreign exchange forward contracts as derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting. Gains or losses from changes in currency rates on foreign currency denominated instruments are recorded in the line item “other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income. We may experience ineffectiveness in the economic hedging relationship, because the instruments are revalued based upon changes in the currency’s spot rate on the principal value, while the forwards are revalued on a discounted cash flow basis. We record forward agreements in gain positions in other assets and loss positions in other liabilities, while net changes in fair value are recorded in the line item “other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

Other Derivative Instruments

We issue loans to clients with conversion features allowing SVBFG to convert the contingent conversion rights to stock in private or public companies. All of our contingent conversion rights qualify as derivatives and are reported at fair value as a component of other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Any changes in fair value after the grant date are recognized as net gains or losses in the line item "other" in noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

We enter into total return swaps related to certain of our equity funds, which manages the risk of exposure from the volatility of equity investments and in the funds. We do not designate any total return swaps as derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting. Gains or losses from changes in fair value are recognized as net gains or losses in the line item "other" in noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

Also included in our derivative instruments are equity warrant assets and client forward, option and swap contracts, and client interest rate contracts. For further description of these other derivative instruments, refer to Note 2 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" under Part II, Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk if counterparties to our derivative contracts do not perform as expected. We mitigate counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and by obtaining collateral, as appropriate. With respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for derivative instruments, we measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net risk basis by counterparty portfolio.

Gains on investment securities, net

Net gains on investment securities include both gains and losses from our non-marketable and other equity securities, which include public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, gains and losses from sales of our AFS debt securities portfolio, when applicable, and carried interest.

33

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt and credit funds, private and public portfolio companies, which include public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, and qualified affordable housing projects. We experience variability in the performance of our non-marketable and other equity securities from period to period, which results in net gains or losses on investment securities (both realized and unrealized). This variability is due to a number of factors, including unrealized changes in the values of our investments, changes in the amount of realized gains from distributions, changes in liquidity events and general economic and market conditions. Unrealized gains from non-marketable and other equity securities for any single period are typically driven by valuation changes.

The extent to which any unrealized gains or losses will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including, among other things, the expiration of certain sales restrictions to which these equity securities may be subject to (e.g., lock-up agreements), changes in prevailing market prices, market conditions, the actual sales or distributions of securities, and the timing of such actual sales or distributions, which, to the extent such securities are managed by our managed funds, are subject to our funds' separate discretionary sales/distributions and governance processes.

Carried interest is comprised of preferential allocations of profits recognizable when the return on assets of our individual managed fund of funds and direct venture funds exceeds certain performance targets and is payable to us, as the general partners of the managed funds. The carried interest we earn is often shared with employees, who are also members of the general partner entities. We record carried interest on a quarterly basis by measuring fund performance to date versus the performance target. For our unconsolidated managed funds, carried interest is recorded as gains on investment securities, net. For our consolidated managed funds, it is recorded as a component of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Carried interest allocated to others is recorded as a component of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Any carried interest paid to us (or our employees) may be subject to reversal to the extent fund performance declines to a level where inception to date carried interest is lower than actual payments made by the funds. The limited partnership agreements for our funds provide that carried interest is generally not paid to the general partners until the funds have provided a full return of contributed capital to the limited partners. Accrued, but unpaid carried interest may be subject to reversal to the extent that the fund performance declines to a level where inception-to-date carried interest is less than prior amounts recognized. Carried interest income is accounted for under an ownership model based on ASC 323 — Equity Method of Accounting and ASC 810 — Consolidation.

Our AFS securities portfolio is a fixed income investment portfolio that is managed with the objective of earning an appropriate portfolio yield over the long-term while maintaining sufficient liquidity and credit diversification as well as addressing our asset/liability management objectives. Though infrequent, sales of debt securities in our AFS securities portfolio may result in net gains or losses and are conducted pursuant to the guidelines of our investment policy related to the management of our liquidity position and interest rate risk.

Gains on investment securities are recognized outside of the scope of ASC 606 as it explicitly excludes noninterest income earned from our investment-related activities. A summary of gains and losses on investment securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,

Gains on equity warrant assets, net

In connection with negotiating credit facilities and certain other services, we often obtain rights to acquire stock in the form of equity warrant assets in primarily private, venture-backed companies in the technology and life science/healthcare industries. Any changes in fair value from the grant date fair value of equity warrant assets will be recognized as increases or decreases to other assets on our balance sheet and as net gains or losses on equity warrant assets, in noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

Gains on equity warrant assets are recognized outside of the scope of ASC 606 as it explicitly excludes noninterest income earned from our derivative-related activities. A summary of net gains on equity warrant assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

Revenue is recognized on a monthly basis upon completion of our performance obligation and consideration is typically received in the subsequent month. Included in our sweep money market fees are Rule 12(b)-1 fees, revenue sharing and customer transactional-based fees. Rule 12(b)-1 fees and revenue sharing are recognized as earned based on client funds that are invested in the period, typically monthly.

Investment banking revenue

Underwriting fees are attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities and are recognized at the point in time when the offering has been deemed to be completed by the lead manager of the underwriting group. Once the offering is completed, the performance obligation has been satisfied; we recognize the applicable management fee as well as the underwriting fee, net of consideration payable to customers. Private placement fees are recognized at the point in time when the private placement is completed, which is generally when the client accepts capital from the fund raise. Advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions engagements are generally recognized at the point in time when the related transaction is completed. Expenses are deferred only to the extent they are explicitly reimbursable by the client and the related revenue is recognized at a point in time. All other deal-related expenses are expensed as incurred. We have determined that we act as principal in the majority of these transactions and therefore present expenses gross within other operating expenses.

Commissions

Commissions include commissions received from customers for the execution of agency-based brokerage transactions in listed and over-the-counter equities.

Trade execution is satisfied at the point in time that the customer has control of the asset and as such, fees are recorded on a trade date basis. The Company also earns subscription fees for market intelligence services that are recognized over the period in which they are delivered. Fees received before the subscription period ends are initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Commissions are presented in the "Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers" table below.

37

Other

Other noninterest income primarily includes income from fund management fees, gains from conversion of convertible debt options and service revenue. Fund management fees are comprised of fees charged directly to our managed funds of funds and direct venture funds. Fund management fees are based upon the contractual terms of the limited partnership agreements and are generally recognized as earned over the specified contract period, which is generally equal to the life of the individual fund. Fund management fees are calculated as a percentage of committed capital and collected in advance and are received quarterly. Fund management fees for certain of our limited partnership agreements are calculated as a percentage of distributions made by the funds and revenue is recorded only at the time of a distribution event. As distribution events are not predetermined for these certain funds, management fees are considered variable and constrained under ASC 606.

Gains from conversion of convertible debt options represent unrealized valuation gains on loan conversion derivative assets, and realized gains from the conversion of debt instruments, convertible into a third party’s common stock upon a triggering event such as an IPO. Gains from conversion of convertible debt options are recognized outside of the scope of ASC 606 as it explicitly excludes noninterest income earned from our derivative-related activities.

Other service revenue primarily consists of gains or losses from changes in fair value of total return swaps, dividend income on FHLB/FRB stock, correspondent bank rebate income, incentive fees, or performance fees related to carried interest and other fee income. We recognize revenue when our performance obligations are met and record revenues on a daily/monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. For event driven revenue sources, we recognize revenue when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) we have performed the service, provided we have no other remaining obligations to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is probable.

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of cash settlements or invoicing to customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, and unearned revenue when revenue is recognized subsequent to receipt of consideration. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, changes in our contract assets, contract liabilities and receivables were not material. Additionally, revenues recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2020 that were included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods were not material.

10.    Segment Reporting

We have 4 reportable segments for management reporting purposes: Silicon Valley Bank, SVB Private, SVB Capital and SVB Securities. The results of our reportable and operating segments are based on our internal management reporting process.

We report segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of our reporting segments. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we reevaluated our segments. Based on this reevaluation, the Premium Wine reporting division was moved from Silicon Valley Bank to the SVB Private segment. These changes were made to reflect the manner in which the Company is organized for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, prior period balances for our Premium Wine reporting division previously reported in "Silicon Valley Bank" have been recasted to the reportable segment “SVB Private” to properly reflect organizational changes effective January 1, 2022. The reclassification of historical segment information has no effect on the Company's previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, or cash flows and the change did not have any impact on the determination of the reporting units used to assess impairment under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.

Our Silicon Valley Bank and SVB Private segments primary source of revenue is from net interest income, which is primarily the difference between interest earned on loans, net of FTP, and interest paid on deposits, net of FTP. Accordingly, these segments are reported using net interest income, net of FTP. FTP is an internal measurement framework designed to assess the financial impact of a financial institution’s sources and uses of funds. It is the mechanism by which a funding credit is given for deposits raised, and a funding charge is made for funded loans. FTP is calculated at an instrument level based on account characteristics.

We also evaluate performance based on provision for credit losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense, which are presented as components of segment operating profit or loss. In calculating each operating segment’s noninterest expense, we consider the direct costs incurred by the operating segment as well as certain allocated direct costs. As part of this review, we allocate certain corporate overhead costs to a corporate account. We do not allocate income tax expense or the provisions for unfunded credit commitments or HTM securities (included in provision for credit losses) to our segments. Additionally, our management reporting model is predicated on average asset balances; therefore, period-end asset balances

40

are not presented for segment reporting purposes. Changes in an individual client’s primary relationship designation have resulted, and in the future may result, in the inclusion of certain clients in different segments in different periods.

Unlike financial reporting, which benefits from the comprehensive structure provided by GAAP, our internal management reporting process is highly subjective, as there is no comprehensive, authoritative guidance for management reporting. Our management reporting process measures the performance of our operating segments based on our internal operating structure, which is subject to change from time to time, and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial services companies.

For reporting purposes, SVB Financial Group has 4 operating segments for which we report our financial information:

•Silicon Valley Bank is our commercial bank which offers products and services provided by the Bank and its subsidiaries to commercial clients in key innovation markets. The Bank provides solutions to the financial needs of commercial clients through credit, treasury management, foreign exchange, trade finance, and other services. In addition, the Bank and its subsidiaries offer a variety of investment services and solutions to its clients that enable them to effectively manage their assets. Our commercial bank consists of services provided to clients in the Tech and Healthcare industries, as well as private equity and venture capital firms, and includes clients from international operations in EMEA, Asia and Canada.

•SVB Private is our private bank and wealth management segment of the Bank. SVB Private provides a range of personal financial solutions for consumers. Our clients are primarily private equity/venture capital professionals and executive leaders of the innovation companies they support as well as high net worth clients acquired from Boston Private and our premium wine clients. We offer a customized suite of private banking services, including mortgages, home equity lines of credit, restricted and private stock loans, capital call lines of credit, other secured and unsecured lending products and vineyard development loans, as well as planning-based financial strategies, wealth management, family office, financial planning, tax planning and trust services. In addition, we provide real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our EHOP.

•SVB Capital is the funds management business of SVB Financial Group, which focuses primarily on venture capital investments. SVB Capital manages funds (primarily venture capital funds) on behalf of third-party limited partners and, on a more limited basis, SVB Financial Group. The SVB Capital family of funds is comprised of direct venture funds that invest in companies and funds of funds that invest in other venture capital funds, as well as debt funds that provide lending and other financing solutions. SVB Capital generates income for the Company primarily from investment returns (including carried interest allocations) and management fees.

•SVB Securities is an investment bank focused on the innovation economy and operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SVB Financial Group. SVB Securities provides investment banking services across all major sub-sectors of Healthcare and Technology. Healthcare sub-sectors include Biopharma, Digital Health and HealthTech, Healthcare Services, Medical Devices and Tools and Diagnostics.

(1)Silicon Valley Bank’s, SVB Capital’s and SVB Securities' components of net interest income, noninterest income, noninterest expense and total average assets are shown net of noncontrolling interests for all periods presented. Noncontrolling interest is included within “Other Items."

(2)The “Other Items” column reflects the adjustments necessary to reconcile the results of the reportable segments to the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. Net interest income consists primarily of interest earned from our fixed income investment portfolio, net of FTP. Noninterest income consists primarily of gains or losses on equity warrant assets, gains or losses on the sale of AFS securities and gains or losses on equity securities from exercised warrant assets. Noninterest expense consists primarily of expenses associated with corporate support functions such as finance, human resources, marketing, legal and other expenses.

(3)The Silicon Valley Bank segment includes direct depreciation and amortization of $12 million and $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $21 million and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(4)The internal reporting model used by management to assess segment performance does not calculate income tax expense by segment. Our effective tax rate is a reasonable approximation of the segment rates.

(5)Total average assets equal the greater of total average assets or the sum of total average liabilities and total average stockholders' equity for each segment to reconcile the results to the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP.

(6)Included in the total average assets for SVB Securities is goodwill of $174 million and for Private Bank is goodwill of $201 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and included in the total average assets for SVB Securities is goodwill of $138 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

(7)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, prior period balances for our Premium Wine reporting division previously reported in "Silicon Valley Bank" have been allocated to the reportable segment “SVB Private” to properly reflect organizational changes effective January 1, 2022. The reallocation had no impact on the "Total" amount.

11.    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments

In the normal course of business, we use financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and standby letters of credit and commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity fund investments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because other parties to the financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Commitments to Extend Credit

The following table summarizes information related to our commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Loan commitments (1)	$	46,627	$	40,327
Standby letters of credit (2)	3,845		3,612
Commercial letters of credit (3)	105		77
Total unfunded credit commitments	$	50,577	$	44,016
Allowance for unfunded credit commitments (4)	224		171

(1)Represents commitments which are available for funding, due to clients meeting all collateral, compliance and financial covenants required under loan commitment agreements.

(2)See below for additional information on our commercial and standby letters of credit.

(3)Commercial letters of credit are issued primarily for inventory purchases by a client and are typically short-term in nature.

(4)Our allowance for credit losses for unfunded credit commitments includes an allowance for both our unfunded loan commitments and our letters of credit.

Standby Letters of Credit

The table below summarizes our standby letters of credit at June 30, 2022. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the amount that could be remitted under letters of credit if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or from the collateral held or pledged.

(Dollars in millions)	Expires in One Year or Less		Expires After One Year		Total Amount Outstanding		Maximum Amount of Future Payments
Financial standby letters of credit	$	3,671	$	92	$	3,763	$	3,763
Performance standby letters of credit	76		6		82		82
Total	$	3,747	$	98	$	3,845	$	3,845

Deferred fees related to financial and performance standby letters of credit were $20 million at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Commitments to Invest in Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds

We make commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, which generally make investments in privately-held companies. Commitments to invest in these funds are generally made for a 10-year period from the inception of the fund. Although the limited partnership agreements governing these investments typically do not restrict the general partners from calling 100% of committed capital in one year, it is customary for these funds to call most of the capital commitments over 5 to 7 years, and in certain cases, the funds may not call 100% of committed capital. The actual timing of future cash requirements to fund these commitments is generally dependent upon the investment cycle, overall market conditions, and the nature and type of industry in which the privately held companies operate. The following table details our total capital commitments, unfunded capital commitments, and our ownership percentage in each fund at June 30, 2022:

(Dollars in millions)	SVBFG Capital Commitments		SVBFG Unfunded Commitments		SVBFG Ownership of each Fund
Redwood Evergreen Fund, LP	$	250	$	150	100.0	%
CP II, LP (1)	1		—		5.1
Capital Preferred Return Fund, LP	13		—		20.0
Growth Partners, LP	25		1		33.0
Strategic Investors Fund, LP	15		1		12.6
Strategic Investors Fund II, LP	15		1		8.6
Strategic Investors Fund III, LP	15		1		5.9
Strategic Investors Fund IV, LP	12		2		5.0
Strategic Investors Fund V funds	1		—		Various
Other venture capital and private equity fund investments (equity method accounting)	17		5		Various
Debt funds (equity method accounting)	59		—		Various
Other fund investments (2)	248		11		Various
Total	$	671	$	172

(1)Our ownership includes direct ownership of 1.3 percent and indirect ownership interest of 3.8 percent through our investment in Strategic Investors Fund II, LP.

(2)Represents commitments to 148 funds (primarily venture capital funds) where our ownership interest is generally less than 5.0 percent of the voting interests of each such fund.

At June 30, 2022 we had $3 million of remaining unfunded commitments to venture capital and private equity funds by our consolidated managed funds of funds (including our interest and the noncontrolling interests).

12.    Income Taxes

We are subject to income tax and non-income based taxes by the U.S. federal tax authorities as well as various state and foreign tax authorities. We have identified the U.S. federal and California state jurisdictions as major tax filings. The state of California is currently examining the years 2013-2016. Our U.S. federal tax returns remain open to full examination for 2018 and subsequent tax years. Our California tax returns remain open to full examination for 2017 and subsequent tax years.

At June 30, 2022, our unrecognized tax benefit was $38 million, the recognition of which would reduce our income tax expense by $30 million. We are unable to estimate the unrecognized tax benefit that will materially change in the next 12 months.

We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of income before income taxes. Interest and penalties were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

13.    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

Our AFS securities, derivative instruments and certain non-marketable and other equity securities are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. We make estimates regarding valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value in preparing our interim consolidated financial statements.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable and on the significance of those inputs in the fair value measurement. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data and views of market participants. The three levels for measuring fair value are based on the reliability of inputs and are as follows:

44

Level 1

Fair value measurements based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Assets utilizing Level 1 inputs include U.S. Treasury securities, foreign government debt securities, exchange-traded equity securities, certain marketable securities accounted for under fair value accounting and assets and liabilities related to the deferred compensation plan assumed during the merger with Boston Private.    

Level 2

Fair value measurements based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly. Valuations for the AFS securities are provided by independent pricing service providers who have experience in valuing these securities and are compared to the average of quoted market prices obtained from independent brokers. We perform a monthly analysis on the values received from third parties to ensure that the prices represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value. The procedures include, but are not limited to, initial and ongoing review of third-party pricing methodologies, review of pricing trends and monitoring of trading volumes. Additional corroboration, such as obtaining a non-binding price from a broker, may be obtained depending on the frequency of trades of the security and the level of liquidity or depth of the market. Prices received from independent brokers represent a reasonable estimate of the fair value and are validated through the use of observable market inputs including comparable trades, yield curve, spreads and, when available, market indices. If we determine that there is a more appropriate fair value based upon the available market data, the price received from the third party is adjusted accordingly. Below is a summary of the significant inputs used for each class of Level 2 assets and liabilities:

U.S. agency debentures: Fair value measurements of U.S. agency debentures are based on the characteristics specific to bonds held, such as issuer name, issuance date, coupon rate, maturity date and any applicable issuer call option features. Valuations are based on market spreads relative to similar term benchmark market interest rates, generally U.S. Treasury securities.

Agency-issued MBS: Agency-issued MBS are pools of individual conventional mortgage loans underwritten to U.S. agency standards with similar coupon rates, tenor, and other attributes such as geographic location, loan size and origination vintage. Fair value measurements of these securities are based on observable price adjustments relative to benchmark market interest rates taking into consideration estimated loan prepayment speeds.

Agency-issued CMO: Agency-issued CMO are structured into classes or tranches with defined cash flow characteristics and are collateralized by U.S. agency-issued mortgage pass-through securities. Fair value measurements of these securities incorporate similar characteristics of mortgage pass-through securities such as coupon rate, tenor, geographic location, loan size and origination vintage, in addition to incorporating the effect of estimated prepayment speeds on the cash flow structure of the class or tranche. These measurements incorporate observable market spreads over an estimated average life after considering the inputs listed above.

Agency-issued CMBS: Fair value measurements of these securities are based on spreads to benchmark market interest rates (usually U.S. Treasury rates or rates observable in the swaps market), prepayment speeds, loan default rate assumptions and loan loss severity assumptions on underlying loans.

Foreign exchange forward and option contract assets and liabilities: Fair value measurements of these assets and liabilities are priced based on spot and forward foreign currency rates and option volatility assumptions.

Interest rate derivative and interest rate swap assets and liabilities: Fair value measurements of interest rate derivatives and interest rate swaps are priced considering the coupon rate of the fixed leg of the contract and the variable coupon rate on the floating leg of the contract. Valuation is based on both spot and forward rates on the swap yield curve and the credit worthiness of the contract counterparty.

Total return swaps: Fair value measurements of total return swaps are based upon the performance of the reference asset, the variable coupon rate and spread of the floating leg of the contract.

Other equity securities: Fair value measurements of equity securities of public companies are priced based on quoted market prices less a discount if the securities are subject to certain sales restrictions. Certain sales restriction discounts generally range from 10 percent to 20 percent depending on the duration of the sale restrictions which typically range from three to six months.

Equity warrant assets (public portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of publicly-traded portfolio companies are valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model uses the price of publicly-traded

45

companies (underlying stock price), stated strike prices, warrant expiration dates, the risk-free interest rate and market-observable option volatility assumptions.

Level 3

The fair value measurement is derived from valuation techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset. The valuation techniques are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or the cost approach used to measure fair value. Below is a summary of the valuation techniques used for each class of Level 3 assets:

Venture capital and private equity fund investments not measured at net asset value: Fair value measurements are based on consideration of a range of factors including, but not limited to, the price at which the investment was acquired, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, and as it relates to the private company, the current and projected operating performance, exit strategies and financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement include the information about each portfolio company, including actual and forecasted results, cash position, recent or planned transactions and market comparable companies. Significant changes to any one of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the fair value measurement; however, we generally consider all factors available through ongoing communication with the portfolio companies and venture capital fund managers to determine whether there are changes to the portfolio company or the environment that indicate a change in the fair value measurement.

Equity warrant assets (public portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of publicly-traded portfolio companies are valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model uses the price of publicly-traded companies (underlying stock price), stated strike prices, warrant expiration dates, the risk-free interest rate and market-observable option volatility assumptions. Modeled asset values are further adjusted by applying a discount of up to 20 percent for certain warrants that have certain sales restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted. As sale restrictions are lifted, discounts are adjusted downward to zero once all restrictions expire or are removed.

Equity warrant assets (private portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of private portfolio companies are priced based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the asset value by using stated strike prices, option expiration dates, risk-free interest rates and option volatility assumptions. Option volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are based on public market indices whose members operate in similar industries as companies in our private company portfolio. Option expiration dates are modified to account for estimates to actual life relative to stated expiration. Overall model asset values are further adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company. There is a direct correlation between changes in the volatility and remaining life assumptions in isolation and the fair value measurement while there is an inverse correlation between changes in the liquidity discount assumption and the fair value measurement.

Contingent conversion rights (public portfolio): Fair value measurements of contingent conversion rights of publicly-traded portfolio companies are valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model uses the price of publicly-traded companies (underlying stock price), stated strike prices, warrant expiration dates, the risk-free interest rate and market-observable option volatility assumptions. Modeled asset values are further adjusted by applying a discount of up to 20 percent for certain conversion rights that have certain sales restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted. As sale restrictions are lifted, discounts are adjusted downward to zero once all restrictions expire or are removed.

Contingent conversion rights (private portfolio): Fair value measurements are based on consideration of a range of factors including, but not limited to, actual and forecasted enterprise values, probability of conversion event occurring and limitations and conversion pricing outlined in the convertible debt agreement. Additionally, we have ongoing communication with the portfolio companies and relationship teams, to determine whether there is a material change in fair value. We use company provided valuation reports, if available, to support our valuation assumptions. These factors are specific to each portfolio company and a weighted average or range of values of the unobservable inputs is not meaningful.

(2)Unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the line item "Other noninterest income," a component of noninterest income.

The extent to which any unrealized gains or losses will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including, among other things, the expiration of current sales restrictions to which these securities are subject, the actual sales of securities and the timing of such actual sales.

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for certain of our Level 3 fair value measurements at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. We have not included in this table our venture capital and private equity fund investments (fair value accounting) as we use net asset value per share (as obtained from the general partners of the investments) as a practical expedient to determine fair value.

(Dollars in millions)	Fair value	Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Inputs	Input Range	Weighted  Average
June 30, 2022:
Equity warrant assets (private portfolio)	318	Black-Scholes option pricing model	Volatility	24.0 - 52.3	42.7
			Risk-Free interest rate	1.7 - 3.0	2.8
			Marketability discount (2)	18.2	18.2
			Remaining life assumption (3)	40.0	40.0
Contingent conversion rights (private portfolio)	6	Private company equity pricing	(4)	(4)	(4)
December 31, 2021:
Equity warrant assets (public portfolio)	2	Black-Scholes option pricing model	Volatility	27.8% - 55.0%	43.7	%
			Risk-Free interest rate	0.6- 1.5	1.1
			Sales restrictions discount (1)	10.0 - 20.0	10.7
Equity warrant assets (private portfolio)	267	Black-Scholes option pricing model	Volatility	24.7 - 55.0	43.0
			Risk-Free interest rate	0.06 - 1.40	0.8
			Marketability discount (2)	20.1	20.1
			Remaining life assumption (3)	40.0	40.0

    

(1)We adjust quoted market prices of public companies, which are subject to certain sales restrictions. Sales restriction discounts generally range from 10 percent to 20 percent depending on the duration of the sales restrictions, which typically range from three to six months.

(2)Our marketability discount is applied to all private company warrants to account for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company. The quantitative measure used is based upon various option-pricing models. On a quarterly basis, a sensitivity analysis is performed on our marketability discount.

(3)We adjust the contractual remaining term of private company warrants based on our estimate of the actual remaining life, which we determine by utilizing historical data on terminations and exercises. At June 30, 2022, the weighted average contractual remaining term was 6.3 years, compared to our estimated remaining life of 2.5 years. On a quarterly basis, a sensitivity analysis is performed on our remaining life assumption.

(4)In determining the fair value of our private contingent conversion rights portfolio (not valued using the Black-Scholes model), we evaluate a variety of factors related to each underlying private portfolio company including, but not limited to, actual and forecasted enterprise values, the probability of a conversion event occurring and limitations and conversion pricing outlined in the convertible debt agreement. Additionally, we have ongoing communication with the portfolio companies and relationship teams, to determine whether there is a material change in fair value. We use company provided valuation reports, if available, to support our valuation assumptions. These factors are specific to each portfolio company and a weighted average or range of values of the unobservable inputs is not meaningful.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we did not have any transfers between Level 3 and Level 1. All transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were due to the transfer of equity warrant assets from our private portfolio to our public portfolio (see our Level 3 reconciliation above).

Investments in Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value Per Share

FASB guidance over certain fund investments requires that we disclose the fair value of funds, significant investment strategies of the investees, redemption features of the investees, restrictions on the ability to sell investments, estimate of the period of time over which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by the investee and unfunded commitments related to the investments.

Our investments in debt funds and venture capital and private equity fund investments generally cannot be redeemed. Alternatively, we expect distributions, if any, to be received primarily through IPO and M&A activity of the underlying assets of the fund. Subject to applicable requirements under the Volcker Rule, we do not have any plans to sell any of these fund investments. If we decide to sell these investments in the future, the investee fund’s management must approve of the buyer before the sale of the investments can be completed. The fair values of the fund investments have been estimated using the net asset value per share of the investments, adjusted for any differences between our measurement date and the date of the fund investment’s net asset value by using the most recently available financial information from the investee general partner, for example March 31st for our June 30th consolidated financial statements, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

The following table is a summary of the estimated fair values of these investments and remaining unfunded commitments for each major category of these investments as of June 30, 2022:

(Dollars in millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Unfunded Commitments
Non-marketable securities (fair value accounting):
Venture capital and private equity fund investments (1)	$	346	$	346	$	13
Non-marketable securities (equity method accounting):
Venture capital and private equity fund investments (2)	663		663		10
Debt funds (2)	5		5		—
Other investments (2)	22		22		1
Total	$	1,036	$	1,036	$	24

(1)Venture capital and private equity fund investments within non-marketable securities (fair value accounting) include investments made by our managed funds of funds and one of our direct venture funds (consolidated VIEs) and investments in venture capital and private equity fund investments (unconsolidated VIEs). Collectively, these investments in venture capital and private equity funds are primarily in U.S. and global technology and life science/healthcare companies. Included in the fair value and unfunded commitments of fund investments under fair value accounting are $82 million and $2 million, respectively, attributable to noncontrolling interests. It is estimated that we will receive distributions from the fund investments over the next 10 to 13 years, depending on the age of the funds and any potential extensions of terms of the funds.

(2)Venture capital and private equity fund investments, debt funds, and other fund investments within non-marketable securities (equity method accounting) include funds that invest in or lend money to primarily U.S. and global technology and life science/healthcare companies. It is estimated that we will receive distributions from the funds over the next 5 to 8 years, depending on the age of the funds and any potential extensions of the terms of the funds.

14.    Legal Matters

Certain lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us and/or our affiliates, and we may from time to time be involved in other legal or regulatory proceedings. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we establish accruals for all such matters, including expected settlements, when we believe it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, we do not establish an accrual. Any such loss estimates are inherently uncertain, based on currently available information and are subject to management’s judgment and various assumptions. Due to the inherent subjectivity of these estimates and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued may not represent the ultimate resolution of such matters.

To the extent we believe any potential loss relating to such matters may have a material impact on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, results of operations, and/or our business as a whole and is reasonably possible but not probable, we aim to disclose information relating to such potential loss. We also aim to disclose information relating to any material potential loss that is probable but not reasonably estimable. In such cases, where reasonably practicable, we aim to provide an estimate of loss or range of potential loss. No disclosures are generally made for any loss contingencies that are deemed to be remote.

Based upon information available to us, our review of lawsuits and claims filed or pending against us to date and consultation with our outside legal counsel, we have not recognized a material accrual liability for any such matters, nor do we currently expect that these matters will result in a material liability to the Company. However, the outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that one or more of such matters currently

51

pending or threatened could have an unanticipated material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, results of operations, and/or our business as a whole, in the future.

15.    Related Parties

We have no material related party transactions requiring disclosure. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank may extend credit to related parties, including executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their related interests. Additionally, we provide real estate secured loans to eligible employees through our EHOP. For additional details, see Note 19 — “Employee Compensation and Benefit Plans" under Part II, Item 8 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

16.    Subsequent Events

During July 2022, we terminated all of our last of layer AFS fair value hedges to reduce asset sensitivity. This termination resulted in a $313 million gain which will be amortized into interest income over the life of the underlying hedged securities, which is approximately 7 years.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in particular “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under Part I, Item 2 of this report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, management has in the past and might in the future make forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, the media and others. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. Broadly speaking, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Financial projections, including with respect to our net interest income, net interest margin, noninterest income, EPS, noninterest expenses (including professional services, compliance, compensation and other costs), cash flows, balance sheet positions, capital expenditures, deposit growth, liquidity and capitalization, effective tax rate or other financial items;

•Descriptions of our strategic initiatives, plans or objectives for future operations, including pending sales or acquisitions, such as the continuing integration of Boston Private and the expansion of SVB Securities into the technology investment banking sector;

•Forecasts of private equity and venture capital funding, investment level and exit activity;

•Forecasts of future interest rates, economic performance, and income from investments;

•Forecasts of expected levels of provisions for credit losses, net loan charge-offs, nonperforming loans, loan growth, loan mix, loan yields and client funds;

•The outlook on our clients' performance;

•Forecasts of general or overall market and macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and any U.S. or global recession;

•The potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; and

•Descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing.

You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “becoming,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “assume,” “seek,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” and the negative of such words, or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. 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 elevated inflation levels, sustained interest rate increases, the general condition of the capital and equity markets, private equity and venture capital investment, IPO, secondary offering, SPAC fundraising, M&A and other 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);

•disruptions to the financial markets as a result of the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, including the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, terrorism and other geopolitical events;

•the COVID-19 pandemic, including COVID-19 variants and their 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 ACL 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;

54

•our ability to attract and retain the appropriate talent to support our growth;

•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 geopolitical events and international market and economic events on us;

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

•the impact of governmental policy, legal requirements and regulations including regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and other regulatory requirements;

•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 Boston Private, the expansion of SVB Private and the growth and expansion of SVB Securities;

•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;

•regulatory or legal changes and their impact on us; and

•other factors as discussed in “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A in our 2021 Form 10-K and under Part II, Item 1A of this report.

We urge investors to consider all of these factors, among others, carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements included in this filing are made only as of the date of this filing. We assume no obligation and do not intend to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by law.

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as presented in Part I, Item 1 of this report and in conjunction with our 2021 Form 10-K.

Management’s Overview of Second Quarter 2022 Performance

In the second quarter, continued public market volatility slowed public and private fundraising activity, pressuring balance sheet growth and valuations of our warrant and non-marketable and other equity securities positions. Although net charge-offs and nonperforming loans overall remained low, we proactively raised reserves in anticipation of shifting macroeconomic conditions.Despite these headwinds, many parts of our core business performed well. Loan growth and pipelines were healthy; net interest income and client investment funds benefited from higher interest rates; SVB Securities revenue was robust; and client acquisition remained near historic highs. While we have adjusted some of our near-term expectations due to current market conditions, we remain confident in our strategy and the growth opportunity of the innovation economy over the long-term.

Reference Rate Reform

The publication of the British Pound Sterling, Euro, Swiss Franc and Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings terminated at the end of December 2021, leaving the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings (i.e., overnight, one month, three month, six month and 12 month) in place, which are expected to terminate at the end of June 2023. Therefore, existing contracts referencing all other U.S. dollar LIBOR settings must be remediated no later than June 30, 2023. We hold instruments that may be impacted by the discontinuance of LIBOR, including loans, investments, and derivative products that use LIBOR as a benchmark rate.

55

Our LIBOR Transition Program consists of dedicated leadership and staff, and continues to engage with relevant business lines and support groups. As part of this program, we continue to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR, including monitoring the population of loans and contracts that are impacted and how LIBOR reference rates are reflected in our measurement of sensitivity to changes in interest rates until publication of LIBOR rates are fully phased out. We completed a review across all business lines and confirmed that language to facilitate a transition to an alternative reference rate is included in our existing deals that carry LIBOR exposure. Migration of legacy LIBOR contracts has commenced based on regulatory timelines, with proactive remediation conducted for existing LIBOR facilities that contained currencies tied to LIBOR rates that ceased publication as of December 31, 2021. A communications and training plan supports the delivery of new Alternative Reference Rate (“ARR”) products and assists with the transition away from LIBOR.

We have adopted SOFR as our preferred replacement index for U.S. dollar LIBOR and received Term SOFR licensing from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the fourth quarter of 2021. We currently offer products based on Alternative Reference Rates across multiple currencies including the U.S. Dollar, British Pound Sterling, and Euro.

A summary of our performance for the three months ended June 30, 2022 (compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, where applicable) is as follows:

SVB Financial and Bank capital ratios, respectively, were: -CET1 risk-based capital ratio of 11.98% and 15.39%. -Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 15.57% and 15.39%. -Total risk-based capital ratio of 16.22% and 16.05%. -Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.73% and 7.55%.	Credit Quality. Reserve build due to uncertain market environment; net loan charge-offs and nonperforming loans remained low. -ACL for loans of 0.77% as a percentage of period-end total loans. -Provision for loans was 0.83% as a percentage of period-end total loans (annualized). -Net loan charge-offs of 0.12% as a percentage of average total loans (annualized).

+ Consists of fee income for deposit services, letters of credit and standby letters of credit, credit cards, client investments, wealth management and trust, foreign exchange and lending-related activities. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. (See the non-GAAP reconciliation under “Results of Operations—Noninterest Income”)

++ Consists of investment banking revenue and commissions. This is a non-GAAP financial measure. (See the non-GAAP reconciliation under “Results of Operations—Noninterest Income”).

+++ In March 2020, the federal banking agencies provided transitional relief to banking organizations with respect to the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. Under the 2020 CECL Transition Rule, banking organizations may delay the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year period to phase out the aggregate capital benefit provided during the initial two-year delay. We have elected to use this five-year transition option. For additional details, see "Capital Resources" within "Consolidated Financial Condition" under Part 1, Item 2 of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our financial condition and results of operations. We have identified one policy as being critical because it requires us to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and we base these estimates on historical experiences and various other factors and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes during the six months ended June 30, 2022 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under Part II, Item 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which allows multiple hedged layers to be designated in a single closed portfolio of financial assets. As a result, an entity can achieve hedge accounting for hedges of a greater proportion of the interest rate risk inherent in the assets included in the closed portfolio, further aligning hedge accounting with our risk management strategies. The update allows for a one-time transfer of certain debt securities from HTM to AFS upon adoption. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326), which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The update also requires disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SVB currently applies a discount on securities covered by contractual restrictions, and these discounts will be removed upon adoption. We do not expect the adoption of the update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income and Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Net interest income is defined as the difference between: (i) interest earned on loans, fixed income investments in our AFS and HTM securities portfolios and short-term investment securities and (ii) interest paid on funding sources. Net interest margin is defined as annualized net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis to consistently reflect income from taxable loans and securities and tax-exempt securities based on the applicable federal statutory tax rate.

Analysis of Net Interest Income Changes Due to Volume and Rate (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “volume change.” Net interest income is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as “rate change.” The following table sets forth changes in interest income for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest expense for each major category of interest-bearing liabilities. The table also reflects the amount of simultaneous changes attributable to both volume and rate changes for the periods indicated. For this table, changes that are not solely due to either volume or rate are allocated in proportion to the percentage changes in average volume and average rate.

Net Interest Income (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

NII increased by $442 million to $1.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $735 million for the comparable 2021 period. Overall, our NII increased primarily from increases in average balances of our fixed income investment securities and loans as well as higher yields. The increase in NII was partially offset by increases in average balances of interest-bearing deposits as well as higher yields on deposits. Upon the completion of the Boston Private acquisition in July 2021, a $104 million fair market value adjustment was made on the acquired loans that will be amortized into loan interest income over the contractual terms of the underlying loans using the constant effective yield method. The adjustment will be approximately 90 percent amortized by the end of fiscal year 2023. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, $11 million and $25 million of this premium amortization partially offset the overall increase in NII.

The main factors affecting interest income and interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the comparable 2021 period are discussed below:

•Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $526 million due primarily to:

◦A $325 million increase in interest income from our fixed income investment securities due primarily to an increase of $54.4 billion in average fixed income investment securities and an increase in yields earned on these investments reflective of the higher rate environment in 2022 and lower premium amortization as a result of higher rates reducing estimated prepayment speeds, and

◦A $182 million increase in interest income on loans due primarily to an increase in average loan balances of $19.5 billion as well as higher loan interest yields driven by the increase in market rates, partially decreased by lower loan fee yields due to purchase accounting adjustments from the acquisition of Boston Private as mentioned above as well as a reduction of PPP loan fees in 2022 as compared to 2021.

•Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $84 million due primarily to:

◦A $65 million increase in interest expense on deposits due primarily to an increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances as well as by an increase in interest expense paid on our interest-bearing deposits driven by higher market rates, and

◦A $19 million increase in interest expense on borrowings due primarily to interest expense on our 1.800% Senior Notes due 2026, issued in October 2021 and our 4.345% and 4.570% Senior Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes issued in April 2022 as well as an increase in average short-term borrowings driven by the slow down in deposit growth.

59

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

•Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $973 million due primarily to:

◦A $630 million increase in interest income from our fixed income investment securities due primarily to an increase of $63.2 billion in average fixed income investment securities and an increase in yields earned on these investments reflective of the higher rate environment in 2022 and lower premium amortization as a result of higher rates reducing estimated prepayment speeds, and

◦A $321 million increase in interest income on loans due primarily to an increase in average loan balances of $20.1 billion as well as higher loan interest yields driven by the increase in market rates, partially decreased by lower loan fee yields due to purchase accounting adjustments from the acquisition of Boston Private as mentioned above as well as a reduction of PPP loan fees in 2022 as compared to 2021.

•Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $105 million due primarily to:

◦A $77 million increase in interest expense on deposits due primarily to an increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances as well as by an increase in interest expense paid on our interest-bearing deposits driven by higher market rates, and

◦A $28 million increase in interest expense on borrowings due primarily to interest expense on our 2.1% Senior Notes issued in May 2021, our 1.800% Senior Notes due 2026, issued in October 2021 and our 4.345% and 4.570% Senior Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes issued in April 2022 as well as an increase in average short-term borrowings driven by the slow down in deposit growth.

Net Interest Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

•Our net interest margin increased by 18 bps to 2.24 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.06 percent for the comparable 2021 period. The higher margin for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to improved yields reflective of a higher rate environment and the decrease in premium amortization mentioned above, partially offset by lower loan fee yields and the increase in interest-bearing deposit expense and borrowing costs mentioned above.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

•Our net interest margin increased by 3 bps to 2.19 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.16 percent for the comparable 2021 period. The higher margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was due primarily to improved yields reflective of a higher rate environment and the decrease in premium amortization mentioned above, partially offset by lower loan fee yields and the increase in interest-bearing deposit expense and borrowing costs mentioned above.

Average Balances, Yields and Rates Paid (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)

The average yield earned on interest-earning assets is the amount of annualized fully taxable equivalent interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The average rate paid on funding sources is the amount of annualized interest expense expressed as a percentage of average funding sources. The following tables set forth average assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, preferred stock, and SVBFG stockholders’ equity, interest income, interest expense, annualized yields and rates, and the composition of our annualized net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is the combination of (i) the provision for loans, (ii) the provision for unfunded credit commitments and (iii) the provision for HTM securities. Our allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of probable credit losses that are inherent in the portfolios at the balance sheet date.

The following table summarizes our ACL for loans, unfunded credit commitments and HTM securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Provision for Loans

We had a provision for credit losses for loans of $146 million and $154 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to a provision of $16 million and $50 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The provision for loans of $146 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by a deterioration in projected economic conditions. We assigned a higher weighting to our downturn outlook scenario to reflect our best estimate of those forecasts. The increased weighting applied to the downturn scenario accounted for $60 million of the provision, with an additional $29 million due primarily to higher risk ratings and increased weighted average loan lives. The provision also includes $18 million for loan growth, an additional $16 million in reserves for nonaccrual loans, and $20 million for charge-offs not previously reserved for.

The provision for loans of $16 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was driven primarily by a $15 million provision for growth in our performing loans portfolio, as well as $4 million for charge-offs not specifically reserved for at March 31, 2021, and $7 million for new nonperforming loans. These provisions were partially offset by $3 million of recoveries and a $7 million reduction in performing reserves as a result of the improvement of economic scenarios in our forecast models.

The provision for credit losses for loans of $154 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was also driven primarily by the deterioration in forecasted conditions at period end, as it includes the $60 million from increasing the weighting of our downturn scenario and the $29 million from higher risk ratings and increased weighted average loan lives mentioned above. The provision also includes $36 million for charge-offs not previously reserved for and $33 million for loan growth. Recoveries partially offset these amounts by $13 million.

63

The provision for credit losses for loans of $50 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was driven primarily by a $33 million increase for growth in our performing loan portfolio and $90 million of charge-offs not specifically reserved for at December 31, 2020, of which $80 million was related to a single instance of potentially fraudulent activity as disclosed in previous filings. These increases in the provision were partially offset by $8 million of recoveries and a $68 million reduction in performing reserves as a result of the improvement of economic scenarios in our forecast models.

Provision for Unfunded Credit Commitments

We recorded a provision for unfunded credit commitments of $50 million and $54 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to a provision of $15 million and a reduction in provision of $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The provision of $50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the same economic forecasts described above. The provision includes $24 million from the adjustment in our scenario weightings, $17 million primarily from higher risk ratings and increased weighted average loan lives mentioned previously and an additional $8 million for growth in our unfunded commitments.

The provision of $15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was driven primarily by growth in our outstanding commitments, as well changes in our unfunded portfolio composition that resulted in a longer portfolio lifetime and a corresponding provision.

The provision of $54 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the same economic forecasts described above, as well as growth in our unfunded commitments.

The reduction in provision for unfunded credit commitments of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was driven primarily by improved economic scenarios in our forecast models, partially offset by growth in our outstanding commitments and changes in the unfunded credit commitments composition within our portfolio segments.

Gross Loan Charge-Offs

Gross loan charge-offs were $22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, of which $20 million was not specifically reserved for at March 31, 2022. Gross loan charge-offs were primarily driven by clients in our Technology and Life Sciences/Healthcare portfolios, including $13 million of charge-offs from Investor Dependent - Early Stage clients. Of the Early-Stage charge-offs, $6 million related to a single client.

Gross loan charge-offs were $15 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, of which $4 million was not specifically reserved for at March 31, 2021. Gross loan charge-offs were partly driven by a $6 million charge-off from one Cash Flow Dependent client. The remaining $9 million gross loan charge-offs were driven primarily by our Investor Dependent and Cash Flow Dependent loan portfolios.

Gross loan charge-offs were $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of which $36 million was not specifically reserved for at December 31, 2021. Gross loan charge-offs were primarily driven by our Investor Dependent portfolios. Early Stage clients accounted for $20 million of charge-offs, of which two clients made up about half, and Growth Stage clients accounted for $14 million in charge-offs.

Gross loan charge-offs were $110 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, of which $90 million was not specifically reserved for in prior quarters. Gross loan charge-offs not previously reserved for were primarily driven by $80 million related to a single instance of potentially fraudulent activity disclosed in previous filings. The remaining $30 million of gross loan charge-offs came primarily from our Investor Dependent and Cash Flow Dependent loan portfolios.

See “Consolidated Financial Condition—Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and for Unfunded Credit Commitments” below and Note 6 — “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses: Loans and Unfunded Credit Commitments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report for further details on our ACL for loans and unfunded credit commitments.

Provision for HTM Securities

We recorded a provision for HTM securities of less than $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and a reduction of our credit loss estimate of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The nominal provision for HTM securities for the second quarter of June 30, 2022 was based on ongoing stability within the HTM bond portfolio. Our HTM portfolio as of June 30, 2022 was entirely made up of A3 or better rated bonds, all considered investment grade.

We recorded a provision for credit losses for HTM securities of $4 million and $5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Our provision for HTM securities for the second quarter of June 30, 2021 was driven primarily by the continued expansion of our corporate bond portfolio. Our HTM portfolio as of June 30, 2021 was entirely made up of A2 or better rated bonds, all considered investment grade.

See Note 5 — “Investment Securities" of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report for further details on our ACL for HTM securities.

Noninterest Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, noninterest income was $362 million and $879 million, respectively, compared to $761 and $1.5 billion for the comparable 2021 periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Securities revenue was $435 million and $783 million, respectively, compared to $292 million and $617 million for the comparable 2021 periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, non-GAAP core fee income was $286 million and $516 million, respectively compared to $172 million and $331 million for the comparable 2021 periods. (See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance (including, but not limited to, non-GAAP core fee income, non-GAAP SVB Securities revenue, non-GAAP core fee income plus non-GAAP SVB Securities revenue, non-GAAP net gains on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests and non-GAAP financial ratios). 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 these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by (i) excluding items that represent income attributable to investors other than us and our subsidiaries and (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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Included in net income is income and expense attributable to noncontrolling interests. We recognize, as part of our investment funds management business through SVB Capital and SVB Securities, the entire income or loss from funds consolidated in accordance with ASC Topic 810 as discussed in Note 1 — “Basis of Presentation” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100% of the results of these entities, even though we may own less than 100% of such entities. The relevant amounts attributable to investors other than us are reflected under “Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests” on our statements of income. Where applicable, the tables below for noninterest income and net gains on investment securities exclude noncontrolling interests.

Core fee income is a non-GAAP financial measure, which represents GAAP noninterest income, but excludes (i) SVB Securities revenue, (ii) certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, primarily our net gains (losses) on investment securities and equity warrant assets, and (iii) other noninterest income. Core fee income 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.

SVB Securities revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure, which represents noninterest income but excludes (i) Core fee income, and (ii) certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, primarily our net gains (losses) on investment securities and equity warrant assets, and other noninterest income. SVB Securities revenue represents investment banking revenue and commissions.

Core fee income plus SVB Securities revenue is a non-GAAP measure, which represents GAAP noninterest income, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, primarily our net gains (losses) on investment securities and equity warrant assets, and other noninterest income. Core fee income plus SVB Securities revenue represents core fee income plus investment banking revenue and commissions.

(1)Non-GAAP core fee income plus SVB Securities revenue represents noninterest income, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control and other noninterest income. Core fee income plus SVB Securities revenue is non-GAAP core fee income (as defined in footnote (3) below) with the addition of investment banking revenue and commissions.

(2)Non-GAAP SVB Securities revenue represents investment banking revenue and commissions, but excludes certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control and other noninterest income.

(3)Non-GAAP core fee income represents noninterest income, but excludes (i) certain line items where performance is typically subject to market or other conditions beyond our control, (ii) our investment banking revenue and commissions and (iii) other noninterest income. Non-GAAP core fee income includes 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.

Gains on Investment Securities, Net

Net gains on investment securities include gains and losses from our non-marketable and other equity securities, which include public equity securities held as a result of exercised equity warrant assets, as well as gains and losses from sales of our AFS debt securities portfolio, when applicable.

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies and qualified affordable housing projects. We experience variability in the performance of our non-marketable and other equity securities from period to period, which results in net gains or losses on investment securities (both realized and unrealized). This variability is due to a number of factors, including unrealized changes in the values of our investments, changes in the amount of realized gains and losses from distributions, changes in liquidity events and general economic and market conditions. Unrealized gains or losses from non-marketable and other equity securities for any single period are typically driven by valuation changes, and are therefore subject to potential increases or decreases in future periods. Such variability may lead to volatility in the gains or losses from investment securities. As such, our results for a particular period are not necessarily indicative of our expected performance in a future period.

The extent to which any unrealized gains or losses will become realized is subject to a variety of factors, including, among other things, the expiration of certain sales restrictions to which these equity securities may be subject to (e.g. lock-up agreements), changes in prevailing market prices, market conditions, the actual sales or distributions of securities, and the timing of such actual sales or distributions, which, to the extent such securities are managed by our managed funds, are subject to our funds' separate discretionary sales/distributions and governance processes.

Our AFS securities portfolio is a fixed income investment portfolio that is managed with the objective of earning an appropriate portfolio yield over the long-term while maintaining sufficient liquidity and credit diversification as well as addressing our asset/liability management objectives. Though infrequent, sales of debt securities in our AFS securities portfolio may result in net gains or losses and are conducted pursuant to the guidelines of our investment policy related to the management of our liquidity position and interest rate risk.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of GAAP total gains (losses) on investment securities, net, to non-GAAP net gains (losses) on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Non-GAAP net losses on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $137 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, were driven by valuation losses in our funds of funds, strategic and other investments and SVB Securities portfolios.

•Total net losses of $129 million ($110 million, net of noncontrolling interests) in our managed funds of funds, strategic and other investment portfolios include a total downward valuation adjustment of $48 million ($32 million, net of noncontrolling interests) for illiquid investments held in the funds of funds, strategic and other investment portfolios to reflect the current market environment.

•Net losses in our managed funds of funds portfolio are also partially offset by gains of $35 million, included in other noninterest income, for the change in fair value of hedge instruments for certain funds.

Non-GAAP net losses on investment securities, net of noncontrolling interests, of $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were driven by the following:

•Net gains of $48 million on the sale of $8.7 billion of AFS debt securities, which include the first quarter net gains of $49 million related to the $5.1 billion sale of U.S. treasury securities and agency-issued MBS and the termination of related swaps, and

•Total net losses of $81 million ($77 million, net of noncontrolling interests) in our managed funds of funds, strategic and other investment portfolios include a total downward valuation adjustment of $48 million ($32 million, net of

noncontrolling interests) for illiquid investments held in the funds of funds, strategic and other investments portfolios to reflect the current market environment.

•Net losses in our managed funds of funds portfolio are also partially offset by gains of $35 million, included in other noninterest income, for the change in fair value of hedge instruments for certain funds.

Gains on Equity Warrant Assets, Net

The total fair value of our warrant portfolio was $322 million at June 30, 2022 and $266 million at June 30, 2021. Warrants in 51 companies each had fair values greater than $1 million and collectively represented $166 million, or 51.7 percent, of the fair value of the total warrant portfolio at June 30, 2022. Warrants in 53 companies each had fair values greater than $1 million and collectively represented $137 million, or 51.7 percent, of the fair value of the total warrant portfolio at June 30, 2021.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net gains on equity warrant assets were $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net gains of $122 million for the comparable June 30, 2021 period. Net gains on equity warrant assets were driven by $9 million in net valuation updates. Net gains on equity warrant assets for the second quarter of 2022 include a downward valuation adjustment of $8 million, reflective of current market volatility.

Six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net gains on equity warrant assets were $80 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net gains of $344 million for the comparable June 30, 2021 period. Net gains on equity warrant assets were driven by $54 million in net valuation increases reflective of private company valuation updates, partially offset by the downward valuation adjustment of $8 million, reflective of current market volatility.

FDIC and state assessments expense was $16 million and $32 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $10 million and $20 million for the comparable 2021 periods.

Operating Efficiency Ratio

Our operating efficiency ratio increased to 55.46 and 55.02 percent, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 43.85 and 44.56 percent for the comparable 2021 period. This increase was driven by lower noninterest income from market-driven revenue reflective of the current public market volatility and higher noninterest expense as we continue to invest and support long-term growth, partially offset by higher net interest income.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 26.1 percent for both three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 25.1 percent and 25.5 percent for the comparable 2021 periods. The increase in our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to lower excess tax benefits from stock compensation in 2022 and tax expense recorded on the surrender of a legacy bank owned life insurance policy. Our effective tax rate is calculated by dividing income tax expense by the sum of income before income tax expense and the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Included in net income is income and expense attributable 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” on our statements of income.

In the table below, noninterest income consists primarily of net investment gains and losses from our consolidated funds. A summary of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

Noninterest income increased by $141 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to an overall increase in our non-GAAP core fee income. The overall increase was due primarily to higher client investment fees driven by improved fee margins resulting from higher short-term interest rates driven by the 2022 Federal Funds rate hikes, higher foreign exchange fees primarily due to increases in spot contract commissions primarily driven by increased trading in technology and life science/healthcare industries, and credit card fees driven by higher transaction volumes reflective of increased spending and client growth, as well as higher travel spending compared to the first half of 2021.

Noninterest expense increased by $187 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to compensation and benefits expense, professional services expense and premises and equipment expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased as a result of higher salaries and wages expenses. Salaries and wages expense increased primarily due to an increase in FTE employees as we continue to invest in our business, as well as from the impact of annual merit increases. Professional services expense increased due to higher consulting fees related to new project initiatives that align with our continued growth during the quarter. Premises and equipment expense increased due to higher software support and maintenance fees as well as an increase in software depreciation.

We experience variability in the performance of SVB Capital from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, including changes in the values of our funds’ underlying investments, changes in the amount of distributions and general economic and market conditions. Such variability may lead to volatility in the gains and losses from investment securities and cause our results to differ from period to period. The performance of these securities may be impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

SVB Capital had noninterest losses of $89 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to noninterest income of $175 million for the comparable 2021 period.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Our total assets, and total liabilities and stockholders' equity, were $214.4 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to $211.5 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $2.9 billion, or 1.4 percent. Refer below to a summary of the individual components driving the changes in total assets, total liabilities and stockholders' equity.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.4 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $779 million, or 5.3 percent, compared to $14.6 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by growth in deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank, partially offset by a decrease in interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions. As of June 30, 2022, $7.8 billion of our cash and due from banks was deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank and was earning interest at the Federal Funds target rate and interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions were $5.1 billion. As of December 31, 2021, $5.7 billion of our cash and due from banks was deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank and was earning interest at the Federal Funds target rate and interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions were $5.8 billion.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $124.7 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $3.3 billion, or 2.6 percent, compared to $128.0 billion at December 31, 2021. Our investment securities portfolio is comprised of: (i) an AFS securities portfolio and a HTM securities portfolio, both of which represent interest earning fixed income investment securities; and (ii) a non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio, which represents primarily investments managed as part of our funds management business, investments in qualified affordable housing projects, as well as public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised.

77

AFS Securities

Period-end AFS securities were $26.2 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $27.2 billion at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.0 billion, or 3.7 percent. The decrease in period-end AFS securities balances from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022, was driven by a the sale of $8.5 billion of AFS securities and the $1.8 billion decrease in the fair value of our AFS securities portfolio, reflective of higher interest rates, as well as paydowns and maturities of AFS securities of $853 million, partially offset by $10.4 billion of purchases.

The following table summarizes the remaining contractual principal maturities and fully taxable equivalent yields on fixed income securities, carried at fair value, classified as AFS as of June 30, 2022. The weighted average yield is computed using the amortized cost of fixed income investment securities, which are reported at fair value. For U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. agency debentures and foreign government debt securities, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as AFS typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments. The weighted average yield on mortgage-backed securities is based on prepayment assumptions at the purchase date. Actual yields earned may differ significantly based upon actual prepayments.

HTM Securities

Period-end HTM securities were $95.8 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $98.2 billion at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $2.4 billion, or 2.4 percent. The $2.4 billion decrease in period-end HTM securities balances from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 was driven by $7.1 billion in paydowns and maturities, partially offset by purchases of $5.0 billion.

Securities classified as HTM are accounted for at cost with no adjustments for changes in fair value. For securities re-designated as HTM from AFS, the net unrealized gains or losses at the date of transfer will continue to be reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity and amortized over the life of the securities in a manner consistent with the amortization of a premium or discount.

The following table summarizes the remaining contractual principal maturities net of ACL and fully taxable equivalent yields on fixed income investment securities classified as HTM as of June 30, 2022. Interest income on certain municipal bonds and notes (non-taxable investments) are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0 percent. The weighted average yield is computed using the amortized cost of fixed income investment securities. For U.S. agency debentures, the expected maturity is the actual contractual maturity of the notes. Expected remaining maturities for certain U.S. agency debentures may occur earlier than their contractual maturities because the note issuers have the right to call outstanding amounts ahead of their contractual maturity. Expected maturities for MBS may differ significantly from their contractual maturities because mortgage borrowers have the right to prepay outstanding loan obligations with or without penalties. MBS classified as HTM typically have original contractual maturities from 10 to 30 years whereas expected average lives of these securities tend to be significantly shorter and vary based upon structure and prepayments in lower interest rate environments. The expected yield on mortgage-backed securities is based on prepayment assumptions at the purchase date. Actual yields earned may differ significantly based upon actual prepayments.

Portfolio duration is a standard measure used to approximate changes in the market value of fixed income instruments due to a change in market interest rates. The measure is an estimate based on the level of current market interest rates, expectations for changes in the path of forward rates and the effect of forward rates on mortgage prepayment speed assumptions. As such, portfolio duration will fluctuate with changes in market interest rates. Changes in portfolio duration are also impacted by changes in the mix of longer versus shorter term-to-maturity securities. The estimated weighted-average duration of our fixed income investment securities portfolio was 5.4 years and 4.0 years at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The weighted-average duration of our total fixed income securities portfolio including the impact of our fair value swaps was 5.3 years at June 30, 2022 and 3.7 years at December 31, 2021. The weighted-average duration of our AFS securities portfolio was 3.8 years at June 30, 2022 and 3.5 years at December 31, 2021. The weighted-average duration of our AFS securities portfolio including the impact of our fair value swaps was 3.3 years at June 30, 2022 and 2.4 years at December 31, 2021. The weighted-average duration of our HTM securities portfolio was 5.9 years at June 30, 2022 and 4.1 years at December 31, 2021.

Non-Marketable and Other Equity Securities

Our non-marketable and other equity securities portfolio primarily represents investments in venture capital and private equity funds, SPD-SVB, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies, including public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised, and qualified affordable housing projects. Included in our non-marketable and other equity securities carried under fair value accounting are amounts that are attributable to noncontrolling interests. We are required under GAAP to consolidate 100% of these investments that we are deemed to control, even though we may own less than 100% of such entities. See below for a summary of the carrying value (as reported) of non-marketable and other equity securities compared to the amounts attributable to SVBFG.

Period-end non-marketable and other equity securities were $2.6 billion ($2.3 billion net of noncontrolling interest) at June 30, 2022 compared to $2.5 billion ($2.2 billion net of noncontrolling interest) at December 31, 2021, an increase of $102 million, or 4.0 percent. The following table summarizes the carrying value (as reported) of non-marketable and other equity securities compared to the amounts attributable to SVBFG (which generally represents the carrying value times our ownership percentage) at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(2)The carrying value represents investments in 142 and 150 funds (primarily venture capital funds) at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, where our ownership interest is typically less than 5% of the voting interests of each such fund and in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the partnerships' operating activities and financial policies. Our unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments are carried at fair value based on the fund investments' net asset values per share as obtained from the general partners of the funds. For each fund investment, we adjust the net asset value per share for differences between our measurement date and the date of the fund investment’s net asset value by using the most recently available financial information from the investee general partner, for example March 31st for our June 30th consolidated financial statements, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.

(3)Investments classified as "Other investments without a readily determinable fair value" include direct equity investments in private companies. The carrying value is based on the price at which the investment was acquired plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. We consider a range of factors when adjusting the fair value of these investments, including, but not limited to, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, exit strategies, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and a discount for certain investments that have lock-up restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted. For further details on the carrying value of these investments refer to Note 5 — “Investment Securities" of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

(4)Investments classified as other equity securities (fair value accounting) represent shares held in public companies as a result of exercising public equity warrant assets and direct equity investments in public companies held by our consolidated funds. Changes in the fair value recognized through net income.

Volcker Rule

The Volcker Rule prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, a banking entity, such as the Company, from sponsoring, investing in, or having certain relationships with covered funds. Under the currently effective regulations implementing the Volcker Rule, covered funds are defined to include many venture capital and private equity funds.

80

In June 2017, we received notice that the Federal Reserve approved the Company’s application for an extension of the permitted conformance period for the Company’s investments in “illiquid” covered funds (“Restricted Volcker Investments”). The approval extends the deadline by which the Company must sell, divest, restructure or otherwise conform such investments to the provisions of the Volcker Rule by the earlier of (i) July 21, 2022, or (ii) the date by which each fund matures by its terms or is otherwise conformed to the Volcker Rule.

There have been various amendments to the Volcker Rule in recent years. In particular, certain amendments that became effective October 1, 2020, provide for, among other things, the adoption of new exclusions from the definition of “covered fund” for venture capital funds and credit funds that meet certain criteria. As a result of these amendments, we believe that none of the Restricted Volcker Investments will be required to be disposed of or will otherwise conform to the Volcker Rule requirements. We expect that all of our Restricted Volcker Investments will (i) qualify for these new exclusions; (ii) otherwise be excluded from the definition of "covered fund"; or (iii) be subject to a liquidation or dissolution process (For more information about the Volcker Rule, see “Business—Supervision and Regulation” under Part 1, Item 1 of our 2021 Form 10-K.)

Loans

Loans at amortized cost basis increased by $4.7 billion to $71.0 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $66.3 billion at December 31, 2021. Unearned income was $222 million at June 30, 2022 and $250 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in period-end loans was driven primarily by our Global Fund Banking portfolio, with continued growth in our Technology and Life Science/Healthcare and Private Bank loan portfolios.

The breakdown of total loans and loans as a percentage of total loans by class of financing receivable is as follows:

(1)Included in total loans at amortized cost is approximately $331 million in PPP loans. The PPP loans consist of loans from all classes of financing receivables.

At December 31, 2021, loans equal to or greater than $20 million to any single client (individually or in the aggregate) totaled $41.3 billion, or 62 percent of our total loan portfolio. These loans represented 768 clients, and of these loans, $21 million were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2021.

State Concentrations

Approximately 27 percent of our outstanding total loan balances as of June 30, 2022 were to borrowers based in California, compared to 30 percent as of December 31, 2021. Borrowers in New York increased to 12 percent at June 30, 2022, compared to 10 percent as of December 31, 2021, and borrowers in Massachusetts represented approximately 13 percent of total loan balances at June 30, 2022 compared to 12 percent as of December 31, 2021. Other than California, New York, and Massachusetts, there are no additional states with loan balances greater than or equal to 10 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2022.

See generally “Risk Factors–Credit Risks” set forth under Part I, Item 1A in our 2021 Form 10-K and "Risk Factors" under Part II, Item 1A of this report.

Paycheck Protection Program

We accepted applications under the PPP administered by the SBA under the CARES Act and originated loans to qualified small businesses until the loan origination phase of the PPP ended on June 30, 2021, set forth under the PPP Extension Act of 2021. Under the terms of the program, loans funded through the PPP are eligible to be forgiven if certain requirements are met, including using the funds for certain costs relating to payroll, healthcare and qualifying mortgage interest, rent and utility payments. We continued to participate in the forgiveness stage of the PPP through the second quarter of 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, we have outstanding PPP loans in the amount of $59 million, as approved by the SBA, compared to $331 million at December 31, 2021. This funded amount reflects repayments received as of such date.

Loan Deferral Programs

In April 2020, we implemented three loan payment deferral programs targeted to assist borrowers who were the most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2022, no loan modifications remained active under these programs. As of December 31, 2021, loans modified under these programs had outstanding balances of $10 million, which consisted entirely of venture-backed borrowers who lengthened their existing interest-only payment period under the deferral program.

For additional details on our PPP and loan deferral programs, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Loans” under Part II, Item 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Credit Quality Indicators

Our total criticized loans and nonaccrual loans represented 3 percent of our total loans at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Criticized and nonaccrual loans to early-stage clients represented 14 percent of our total criticized and nonaccrual loan balances at June 30, 2022 compared to 13 percent as of December 31, 2021. Loans to early-stage investor

83

dependent clients represent a relatively small percentage of our overall portfolio at 2 percent of total loans at June 30, 2022 and 2 percent at December 31, 2021. It is common for an early-stage client’s remaining liquidity to fall temporarily below the threshold for a pass-rated credit during its capital-raising period for a new round of funding. Based on our experience, for most early-stage clients, this situation typically lasts one to two quarters and generally resolves itself with a subsequent round of venture funding, though there are exceptions, from time to time. As a result, we expect that each of our early-stage clients will reside in our criticized portfolio during a portion of their life cycle.

As of June 30, 2022, we have identified the following risks to credit quality: (i) pressured public and private markets, (ii) larger Growth Stage and Innovation C&I loan sizes and (iii) increased exposure from CRE loans.

(i) Pressured public and private markets - Prolonged market volatility may impact the performance of the Technology and Life Science/Healthcare portfolio. This risk particularly applies to Investor Dependent loans, where repayment is dependent on the borrower's ability to fundraise or exit.

(ii) Larger Growth Stage and Innovation C&I loan sizes - The growth of our balance sheet and our clients continues to increase the number of large loans, which may introduce greater volatility in credit metrics.

(iii) Increased exposure from CRE loans - We acquired these loans via the Boston Private acquisition in in 2021. The increased exposure is mitigated by the well-margined collateral on these loans and our limited overall exposure, with commercial real estate representing only 4 percent of total loans at June 30, 2022.

Additionally, we have identified the following factors that could have a positive impact on credit quality: (i) strong positioning of Technology and Life Science/Healthcare clients and (ii) an improved risk profile of our loan portfolio.

(i) Strong positioning of Technology and Life Science/Healthcare clients - Record venture capital investment over the past two years has generally extended clients' runways.

(ii) Improved risk profile of loan portfolio - As described above, our Investor Dependent - Early Stage class, which historically has been the most vulnerable loan class with the most losses, is now only 2 percent of total loans. Furthermore, 71 percent of total loans are now in our Global Fund Banking and Private Bank classes, which have low credit loss experience.

We continue to monitor the current environment to evaluate the impact of the above on our portfolio's credit quality and to identify the emergence of additional factors.

Credit Quality, Allowance for Credit Losses and Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of loans on nonaccrual status, loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest and OREO and other foreclosed assets. We measure all loans placed on nonaccrual status for impairment based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the net present value of the expected cash flows. The table below sets forth certain data and ratios between nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets and the ACL for loans and unfunded credit commitments:

Total unfunded credit commitments (3)	$	50,577		$	44,016

(1)The "ACL for loans" at December 31, 2021 includes an initial allowance of $66 million related to acquired Boston Private loans, of which $2 million was related to nonaccrual loans. See “Provision for Credit Losses” for a detailed discussion of the changes to the allowance.

(2)The “ACL for unfunded credit commitments” is included as a component of other liabilities and any provision is included in the “provision for credit losses” in the statement of income. At December 31, 2021, this includes an initial allowance of $2 million related to acquired Boston Private commitments. See “Provision for Credit Losses” for a detailed discussion of the changes to the allowance.

(3)Includes unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.

To determine the ACL for performing loans as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we utilized three scenarios, on a weighted basis, from Moody's Analytics June 2022 and December 2021 forecasts, respectively, in our expected lifetime loss estimate. The table below summarizes the key assumptions within each period's baseline forecasts, as well as the weightings we applied to the three economic forecast scenarios in our model.

	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Key economic factors from Moody's baseline forecasts
Gross domestic product projected growth rate (1)	2.6	%	6.8	%
Projected unemployment rate (1)	3.6	%	4.3	%
Housing price index projected growth rate (1)	1.0	%	5.9	%
Weightings applied to different Moody's economic scenarios
Upward outlook (Moody's S1)	15.0	%	30.0	%
Baseline (Moody's B)	20.0	%	40.0	%
Downward outlook (Moody's S3)	65.0	%	30.0	%
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%

(1)The June 2022 downturn forecast (Moody's S3), which was weighted 65% in our Q2 model, included a one-year gross domestic product shrinkage rate of 2.2 percent, peak unemployment rate of 7.9 percent, and a worst case housing price index shrinkage rate of 18.1 percent (forecast in Q4 2022).

While utilizing the Moody's June 2022 forecast, we determined that a higher weighting should be applied to the economic downturn scenario to align with our expectations as of June 30, 2022, as shown above. After adjusting the weightings accordingly, we determined the forecast to be a reasonable view of the outlook for the economy given the available information at current quarter end.

85

Our ACL for loans as a percentage of total loans increased 13 basis points to 0.77 percent at June 30, 2022, compared to 0.64 percent at December 31, 2021. The 13 basis points increase was due primarily to a 14 basis point increase in our performing loans reserve rate, which was a result of the projected economic forecasts and changes in weightings described above, as well as higher risk ratings and increased weighted average loan lives. For a detailed discussion of changes in the current period's reserve, see "Provision for Credit Losses."

The following table presents a summary of changes in nonaccrual loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Balance, beginning of period	$	70	$	90	$	84	$	104
Additions	77		9		82		14
Paydowns and other reductions	(40)		(9)		(56)		(18)
Charge-offs	(14)		(11)		(17)		(21)
Balance, end of period	$	93	$	79	$	93	$	79
Average nonaccrual loans	$	93	$	84	$	84	$	107

Our nonaccrual loan balance increased by $9 million to $93 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $84 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was due primarily to new nonaccrual loans, driven by clients in our Technology and Life Science/Healthcare portfolios. In the second quarter of 2022, our Investor Dependent clients accounted for $54 million of the additions, $29 million specifically coming from Early Stage clients. Offsetting charge-offs and reductions were largely driven by the same Technology and Life Science/Healthcare portfolios. Charge-offs of $9 million relate to Investor Dependent - Early Stage clients, and a reduction of $21 million was from a single Cash Flow Dependent - SLBO client. As of June 30, 2022, we have specifically reserved $36 million for our nonaccrual loans.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Other Assets

A summary of accrued interest receivable and other assets at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		% Change
Derivative assets (1)	$	705	$	565	24.8	%

Total accrued interest receivable and other assets	$	2,777	$	1,928	44.0

(1)See “Derivatives” section above.

FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock

The increase of $266 million in FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock is primarily due to purchases of additional shares as required by the Federal Reserve.

Net Deferred Tax Assets

Net deferred tax assets increased $522 million primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on AFS securities attributable to an increase in market rates.

Derivatives

Derivative instruments are recorded as a component of other assets and other liabilities on the balance sheet. The following table provides a summary of derivative assets and liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Equity Warrant Assets

In connection with negotiating credit facilities and certain other services, we often obtain rights to acquire stock in the form of equity warrant assets in primarily private, venture-backed companies in the technology and life science/healthcare industries. At June 30, 2022, we held warrants in 2,905 companies, compared to 2,831 companies at December 31, 2021. Warrants in 51 companies each had fair values greater than $1 million and collectively represented $166 million, or 51.7 percent, of the fair value of the total warrant portfolio at June 30, 2022. The change in fair value of equity warrant assets is recorded in "Gains on equity warrant assets, net" in noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income.

The following table provides a summary of transactions and valuation changes for equity warrant assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: 

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2022		2021		2022		2021
Balance, beginning of period	$	323	$	244	$	277	$	203

Terminated equity warrant assets	(1)		(1)		(2)		(1)
Balance, end of period	$	322	$	266	$	322	$	266

Foreign Exchange Contracts

We enter into foreign exchange contracts with clients involved in foreign activities, either as the purchaser or seller, depending upon the clients’ needs. For each contract entered into with our clients, we enter into an opposite way contract with a correspondent bank, which mitigates the risk of fluctuations in currency rates. We also enter into forward contracts with correspondent banks to economically reduce our foreign exchange exposure related to certain foreign currency denominated instruments. Net gains and losses on the revaluation of foreign currency denominated instruments are recorded in the line item “Other” as part of noninterest income, a component of consolidated net income. We have not experienced nonperformance by any of our counterparties and therefore have not incurred any related losses. Further, we anticipate performance by all counterparties. Our net exposure for foreign exchange contracts, net of cash collateral, was zero at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For additional information on our foreign exchange contracts, see Note 8 — “Derivative Financial Instruments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Client Interest Rate Derivatives

We sell interest rate contracts to clients who wish to mitigate their interest rate exposure. We economically reduce the interest rate risk from this business by entering into opposite way contracts with correspondent banks. Our net exposure for client interest rate derivative contracts, net of cash collateral, was zero at June 30, 2022 and $47 million at December 31, 2021. For additional information on our client interest rate derivatives, see Note 8 — “Derivative Financial Instruments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

87

Interest Rate Swaps

To manage interest rate risk on our AFS securities portfolio, we enter into pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contracts to hedge against exposure to changes in the fair value of the securities resulting from changes in interest rates. We designate these interest rate swap contracts as fair value hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and record them in other assets and other liabilities. We had zero net exposure for interest rate swaps at June 30, 2022. Our net exposure for interest rate swaps was $5 million at December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 8 — “Derivative Financial Instruments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Deposits

Deposits were $187.9 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.3 billion, or 0.7 percent, compared to $189.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in deposits was primarily driven by slowdown in public and private fundraising and exits as well as increased client cash burn rates, partially offset by flexible liquidity solutions that shifted off-balance sheet client funds on-balance sheet. Approximately 8 percent and 9 percent of our total deposits at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were from our clients in Asia.

Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt was $3.4 billion at June 30, 2022 and $2.6 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in our long-term debt was due to issuances of 4.345% Senior Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes due 2028 and 4.570% Senior Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes due 2033 in the second quarter of 2022.

As of June 30, 2022, long-term debt was comprised of our 3.50% Senior Notes due 2025, 3.125% Senior Notes due 2030, 1.800% Senior Notes due 2031, 2.100% Senior Notes due 2028, 1.800% Senior Notes due 2026, 4.345% Senior Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes due 2028, 4.570% Senior Fixed Rate/Floating Rate Notes due 2033 and junior subordinated debentures.

Other Liabilities

A summary of other liabilities at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		% Change
Accrued compensation	$	444	$	896	(50.4)	%
Allowance for unfunded credit commitments	224		171		31.0
Derivative liabilities (1)	424		238		78.2
Other liabilities	1,629		1,282		27.1
Total other liabilities	$	2,721	$	2,587	5.2

(1)See “Derivatives” section above.

Accrued Compensation

Accrued compensation includes amounts for our Incentive Compensation Plan, Direct Drive Incentive Compensation Plan, Retention Program, Warrant Incentive Plan, ESOP, SVB Securities Incentive Compensation Plan, SVB Securities Retention Award and other compensation arrangements. The decrease of $452 million was primarily a result of the payout of our 2021 incentive compensation plans during the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by the accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2022 related primarily to the increase in the number of average FTE employees for the first half of 2022.

Allowance for Unfunded Credit Commitments

Allowance for unfunded credit commitments includes an allowance for both our unfunded loan commitments and our letters of credit. The increase of $53 million was primarily attributable to projected economic conditions, a higher weighting assigned to our downturn outlook scenario and higher unfunded credit commitment balances.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests totaled $358 million and $373 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease of $15 million was primarily due to $13 million in distributions and $2 million in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for six months ended June 30, 2022.

88

Capital Resources

We maintain an adequate capital base to support anticipated asset growth, operating needs, and credit and other business risks, and to provide for SVB Financial and the Bank to be in compliance with applicable regulatory capital guidelines, including the joint agency rules implementing the "Basel III" capital rules (the "Capital Rules"). Our primary sources of new capital include retained earnings and proceeds from the sale and issuance of our capital stock or other securities. Under the oversight of the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors, management engages in regular capital planning processes in an effort to optimize the use of the capital available to us and to appropriately plan for our future capital needs. The capital plan considers capital needs for the foreseeable future and allocates capital to both existing and future business activities. Expected future use or activities for which capital may be set aside include balance sheet growth and associated relative increases in market or credit exposure, investment activity, potential product and business expansions, acquisitions and strategic or infrastructure investments. In addition, we conduct capital stress tests as part of our annual capital planning process. The capital stress tests allow us to assess the impact of adverse changes in the economy and interest rates on our capital adequacy position.

SVBFG Stockholders’ Equity

SVBFG stockholders’ equity totaled $15.9 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $318 million, or 2.0 percent, compared to $16.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by other comprehensive income from unrealized losses recorded on AFS securities, net of tax, reflective of an increase in market rates. The decrease was further offset by an increase in the fair value of hedging instruments and retained earnings.

Funds generated through retained earnings are a significant source of capital and liquidity and are expected to continue to be so in the future.

Capital Ratios

Both SVB Financial and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. The following table represents the capital components for SVB Financial and the Bank used in calculating CET1, Tier 1 capital and total capital as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(1)Percentages represent the minimum capital ratios plus, as applicable, the fully phased-in 2.5% CET1 capital conservation buffer under the Capital Rules.

(2)"Well Capitalized Minimum" CET1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios are not formally defined under applicable banking regulations for bank holding companies.

(3)Capital ratios include regulatory capital phase-in of the ACL under the 2021 CECL Transition Rule.

(4)See below for a reconciliation of non-GAAP tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets.

(5)The Federal Reserve has not issued any minimum guidelines for the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio or the tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio, however, we believe these ratios provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our capital levels and are therefore provided above.

As of June 30, 2022, Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios for SVB Financial decreased reflective of increases in risk-weighted assets outpacing increases in regulatory capital. The increase in risk-weighted assets was driven primarily by the shift in our balance sheet growth from cash into our investment securities and loans portfolios. The increase in regulatory capital was driven primarily by net income and an increase in the allowance for credit losses, partially offset by Tier 1 capital deductions, including deductions from covered funds under the Volcker rule and preferred stock dividends.

The decrease in our Tier 1 leverage ratio for SVB Financial is reflective of the growth in our average assets outpacing our growth in regulatory capital. The increase in average assets for SVB Financial was driven primarily by growth in our investment securities and loans portfolios.

The tangible common equity, or tangible book value, to tangible assets ratio and the tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets ratios are not required by GAAP or applicable bank regulatory requirements. However, we believe these ratios provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our capital levels. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these ratios in evaluating the adequacy of the Company’s capital levels; however, these financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or preferable to, comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These ratios are calculated by dividing total SVBFG stockholders' equity, by total period-end assets and risk-weighted assets, after reducing both amounts by acquired intangibles, if any. The manner in which this ratio is calculated varies among companies. Accordingly, our ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar measures of other companies.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we use financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commercial and standby letters of credit and commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity fund investments. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. Credit risk is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because other parties to the financial instrument fail to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. For details of our commitments to extend credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit, please refer to Note 11 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Commitments to Invest in Venture Capital and Private Equity Funds

Subject to applicable regulatory requirements, including the Volcker Rule, we make commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, which in turn make investments generally in, or in some cases make loans to, privately-held companies. Commitments to invest in these funds are generally made for a 10-year period from the inception of the fund. Although the limited partnership agreements governing these investments typically do not restrict the general partners from calling 100% of committed capital in one year, it is customary for these funds to generally call most of the capital commitments over 5 to 7 years; however, in certain cases, the funds may not call 100% of committed capital over the life of the fund. The actual timing of future cash requirements to fund these commitments is generally dependent upon the investment cycle, overall market conditions, and the nature and type of industry in which the privately held companies operate.

For further details on our commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, refer to Note 11 — “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Guarantees and Other Commitments” of the “Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available in a timely manner to meet our financial obligations, including, the availability of funds for both anticipated and unanticipated funding uses as necessary, paying creditors, meeting depositors’ needs, accommodating loan demand and growth, funding investments, repurchasing securities and other operating or capital needs, without incurring undue cost or risk, or causing a disruption to normal operating conditions.

We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a range of business-as-usual and potential stress scenarios based on a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual client funding needs and existing and planned business activities. Our ALCO, which is a management committee, provides oversight to the liquidity management process and recommends policy guidelines for the approval of the Finance Committee and Risk Committee of our Board of Directors, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity needs. Additionally, we routinely conduct liquidity stress testing as part of our liquidity management practices.

91

Our client deposits base is, and historically has been our primary source of liquidity funding. Our deposit levels and cost of deposits may fluctuate from time to time due to a variety of factors, including market conditions, prevailing interest rates, changes in client deposit behaviors, availability of insurance protection, and our offering of deposit products. We may also offer more investment alternatives for our off-balance sheet products which may impact deposit levels. At June 30, 2022, our period-end total deposit balances were $187.9 billion, compared to $189.2 billion at December 31, 2021.

We maintain a liquidity risk management and monitoring process designed to ensure appropriate liquidity to meet expected and contingent funding needs under both normal and stress environments, subject to the regular supervisory review process. Our liquidity requirements can also be met through the use of our portfolio of liquid assets. Our definition of liquid assets includes cash and cash equivalents in excess of the minimum levels necessary to carry out normal business operations, short-term investment securities maturing within one year, AFS and HTM securities eligible and available for financing or pledging purposes with a maturity in excess of one year and anticipated near-term cash flows from investments.

We have certain facilities in place to enable us to access short-term borrowings on a secured and unsecured basis. Our secured facilities include collateral pledged to the FHLB of San Francisco and the discount window at the FRB (using both fixed income securities and loans as collateral). Our unsecured facility consists of our uncommitted federal funds lines. As of June 30, 2022, collateral pledged to the FHLB of San Francisco was comprised primarily of fixed income investment securities and loans and had a carrying value of $8.5 billion, of which $3.5 billion was available to support borrowings. As of June 30, 2022, collateral pledged to the discount window at the FRB was comprised of fixed income investment securities and had a carrying value of $5.6 billion, all of which was unused and available to support additional borrowings. Our total unused and available borrowing capacity for our uncommitted federal funds lines totaled $3.0 billion at June 30, 2022. Our total unused and available secured borrowing capacity under our master repurchase agreements with various financial institutions totaled $29.0 billion at June 30, 2022.

Additionally, interim final capital rules issued by federal bank regulatory agencies have neutralized the regulatory capital effects of participating in the PPP, in that loans outstanding are assessed a zero percent risk weight for regulatory capital purposes.

As a banking organization, our liquidity is subject to supervision by our banking regulators. Because we are a Category IV firm with less than $250 billion in average total consolidated assets, less than $50 billion in average weighted short-term wholesale funding and less than $75 billion in cross-jurisdictional activity, we currently are not subject to the Federal Reserve’s LCR or NSFR requirements, either on a full or reduced basis. It is possible that, as a result of further growth, we may exceed one or more of those thresholds and therefore become subject to LCR and NSFR requirements or other heightened liquidity requirements in the future, which would require us to maintain high-quality liquid assets in accordance with specific quantitative requirements and increase the use of long-term debt as a funding source. In addition, if we were to exceed $75 billion in cross-jurisdictional activity, as a Category II firm, we could no longer opt out of excluding AOCI in calculating regulatory capital ratios and would become subject to the advance approaches framework as well as more stringent liquidity reporting requirements.

On a stand-alone basis, SVB Financial’s primary liquidity channels include dividends from the Bank, its portfolio of liquid assets, and its ability to raise debt and capital. The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is subject to certain regulations described in “Business—Supervision and Regulation—Restriction on Dividends” under Part I, Item 1 of our 2021 Form 10-K.

Consolidated Summary of Cash Flows

Below is a summary of our average cash position and statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. For further details, see our “Interim Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

	Six months ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2022			2021
Average cash and cash equivalents	$	17,785		$	21,458
Percentage of total average assets	8.2		%	15.6		%
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,411		$	695
Net cash used for investing activities	(3,628)			(42,041)
Net cash provided by financing activities	2,996			47,630
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	779		$	6,284

Average cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.7 billion, or 17.1 percent, to $17.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $21.5 billion for the comparable 2021 period.

92

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflective primarily of net income before noncontrolling interests of $886 million and adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash of $588 million, partially offset by $63 million changes in other assets and liabilities.

Cash used for investing activities of $3.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by $15.3 billion in purchases of fixed income investment securities and a $4.6 billion increase in loan balances, partially offset by the sale of $8.5 billion of our AFS portfolio and $8.0 billion in proceeds from maturities and principal pay downs from our fixed income investment securities portfolio.

Cash provided by financing activities was $3.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflective primarily of a $4.4 billion increase in short and long-term borrowings, partially offset by the $1.3 billion decrease in deposits .

Cash and cash equivalents were $15.4 billion and $24.0 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2022 and 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk Management

Market risk is defined as the risk of adverse fluctuations in the market value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk is our primary market risk and can result from timing and volume differences in the repricing of our rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, widening or tightening of credit spreads, changes in the general level of market interest rates and changes in the shape and level of the benchmark interest rates. Additionally, changes in interest rates can influence the rate of principal prepayments on mortgage securities, which affects the rate of amortization of purchase premiums and discounts. Other market risks include foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk (including the effect of competition on product pricing). These risks and related impacts are important market considerations but are inherently difficult to assess through simulation results. Consequently, simulations used to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates will differ from actual results due to differences in the timing and frequency of rate resets, the magnitude of changes in market rates, the impact of competition, fluctuating business conditions and the impact of strategies taken by management to mitigate these risks.

Interest rate risk is managed by our ALCO. ALCO reviews the sensitivity of the market valuation on earning assets and funding liabilities and modeled 12-month projections of net interest income from changes in interest rates, structural changes in investment and funding portfolios, loan and deposit activity and market conditions. Relevant metrics and guidelines, which are approved by the Finance Committee of our Board of Directors and are included in our Interest Rate Risk Policy, are monitored on an ongoing basis.

Interest rate risk is managed primarily through strategies involving our fixed income securities portfolio, available funding channels and capital market activities. In addition, our policies permit the use of off-balance sheet derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, to assist with managing interest rate risk.

We utilize a simulation model to perform sensitivity analysis on the economic value of equity and net interest income under a variety of interest rate scenarios, balance sheet forecasts and business strategies. The simulation model provides a dynamic assessment of interest rate sensitivity which is embedded within our balance sheet. Rate sensitivity measures the potential variability in economic value and net interest income relating solely to changes in market interest rates over time. We review our interest rate risk position and sensitivity to market interest rates regularly.

Model Simulation and Sensitivity Analysis

A specific application of our simulation model involves measurement of the impact of changes in market interest rates on the EVE. EVE is defined as the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities. Another application of the simulation model measures the impact of changes in market interest rates on NII assuming a static balance sheet, in both size and composition, as of the period-end reporting date. In the NII simulation, the level of market interest rates and the size and composition of the balance sheet are held constant over the simulation horizon. Simulated cash flows during the scenario horizon are assumed to be replaced as they occur, which maintains the balance sheet at its current size and composition. Yield and spread assumptions on cash and investment balances reflect current market rates and the shape of the yield curve. Yield and spread assumptions on loans reflect recent market impacts on product pricing. Similarly, we make certain deposit balance decay rate assumptions on demand deposits and interest-bearing deposits, which are replenished to hold the level and mix of funding liabilities constant. Changes in market interest rates that affect net interest income are principally short-term interest rates and include the following benchmark indexes: (i) the National Prime Rate, (ii) 1-month and 3-month LIBOR and (iii) the Federal Funds target rate. Changes in these short-term rates impact interest earned on our variable rate loans and balances held as cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, simulated changes in deposit pricing relative to changes in market rates, commonly referred to as deposit beta, generally follow overall changes in short-term interest rates, although actual changes may lag in terms of timing and magnitude.

93

Both EVE and NII measures rely upon the use of models to simulate cash flow behavior for loans and deposits. These models were developed internally and are based on historical balance and rate observations. Investment portfolio cash flow is based on a combination of third-party prepayment models and internally managed prepayment vectors depending on security type. As part of our ongoing governance structure, each of these models and assumptions are periodically reviewed and recalibrated as needed to ensure that they are representative of our understanding of existing behaviors.

Simulation results presented include a beta assumption that is applied in the NII and EVE simulation models for interest-bearing deposits. This reflects management expectations about deposit repricing behavior. This model assumes the overall through a rate-cycle beta for interest-bearing deposits is approximately 60 percent. That is, overall changes in interest-bearing deposit rates would be approximately 60 percent of the change in short-term market rates. These repricing assumptions are reflected as changes in interest expense on interest-bearing deposit balances.

The following table presents our EVE and NII sensitivity exposure related to an instantaneous and sustained parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 bps at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(Dollars in millions)	Estimated		Estimated Increase/(Decrease) in EVE				Estimated		Estimated Increase/(Decrease) in NII

Economic Value of Equity

The estimated EVE in the preceding table is based on a combination of valuation methodologies including a discounted cash flow analysis and a multi-path lattice-based valuation. Both methodologies use publicly available market interest rates to determine discounting factors on projected cash flows. The model simulations and calculations are highly assumption-dependent and will change regularly as the composition of earning assets and funding liabilities change (including the impact of changes in the value of interest rate derivatives, if any), as interest rate environments evolve, and as we change our assumptions in response to relevant market conditions, competition, or business circumstances. These calculations do not reflect forecast changes in our balance sheet or changes we may make to reduce our EVE exposure as a part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy. As noted in the first quarter of 2022, the EVE results in the table above for both December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 reflect updates to our deposit model that were deployed during the second quarter of 2022 which impacted our underlying assumptions for deposit decay, curtailment, and pricing behavior. Consistent with our expectations, the EVE profile of our balance sheet at December 31, 2021 showed a reduction in risk for +100 and +200bps instantaneous parallel shift scenarios and increasing risk in the -100 and -200 bps instantaneous parallel shift scenarios as deposit duration increased as a result of the model changes.

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain limitations are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the preceding table. We are exposed to yield curve risk, prepayment risk, basis risk and yield spread compression, which cannot be fully modeled and expressed using the above methodology. Accordingly, the results in the preceding table should not be relied upon as a precise indicator of actual results in the event of changing market interest rates. Additionally, the resulting EVE and NII estimates are not intended to represent and should not be construed to represent our estimate of the underlying EVE or forecast of NII.

Our base EVE as of June 30, 2022 decreased $5.7 billion from December 31, 2021, driven primarily by a mix shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits as well as higher rates during the second quarter of 2022 which extended the duration of our fixed income investment securities portfolio. The EVE profile of our balance sheet at June 30, 2022 now shows an increasing risk in the +100 and +200 bps instantaneous parallel shift scenarios as the extended duration of our fixed income portfolio has increased the market value sensitivity of these securities to rising rates, while the mix shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits has reduced our deposit duration.

12-Month Net Interest Income Simulation

NII sensitivity is measured as the percentage change in projected 12-month net interest income earned in +/-100 and +/-200 basis point interest rate shock scenarios compared to a base scenario where balances and interest rates are held constant over the forecast horizon. At June 30, 2022, NII sensitivity was 6.7 percent in the +100 bps interest rate scenario, compared to 10.9 percent at December 31, 2021. Our NII sensitivity in the +200bps interest rate shock scenario was 13.5 percent compared to 22.9 percent at December 31, 2021. NII sensitivity in the -100bps scenario of negative 10.2 percent was higher at June 30, 2022, compared to a negative 6.4 percent at December 31, 2021. The -200bps scenario currently indicates a higher percentage change in NII of negative 20.3 percent at June 30, 2022, compared to negative 8.6 percent at December 31, 2021. However, as noted above, the -200 bps scenario is not complete rate shocks in this rate environment, since rates are assumed to be floored at zero. The changes in NII sensitivity are primarily the result of the changes in balance sheet composition described previously, combined with the impact of hedges in the respective parallel rate shock scenarios.

Our base case static 12-month NII forecast at June 30, 2022 increased compared to December 31, 2021 by $1.3 billion, driven primarily by the growth in the balance sheet and the 25bps Fed hike.

A majority of our loans are indexed to Prime and LIBOR. In the upward parallel simulated rate shock scenarios, interest income on assets that are tied to variable rate indexes, primarily our variable rate loans, are expected to benefit our base 12-month NII projections. The opposite is true for downward rate shock scenarios.

The 12-month NII simulations include repricing assumptions on our interest-bearing deposit products of approximately 60%. This assumption is model based and can change based on changing client needs, behavior and our overall funding mix. Repricing of interest-bearing deposits impacts estimated interest expense for a relative change in underlying interest rates.

For the interest rate scenarios, the simulation model incorporates embedded rate floors on loans, where present, which prevents model benchmark rates from moving below zero percent in the down rate scenarios. The embedded rate floors are also a factor in the up-rate scenarios to the extent a simulated increase in rates is needed before floored rates are cleared. In addition, we assume deposit balance decay rates based on a historical deposit study of our clients. These assumptions may change in future periods based on changes in client behavior and at management's discretion. Actual changes in our deposit pricing strategies may differ from our current model assumptions and may have an impact on our actual sensitivity overall.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, processes, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of our most recently completed fiscal quarter, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
