    Risks & headwinds

    4
    Macroeconomic impacts on credit quality and earnings capacityOngoing

    Credit posture increasingly reliant on a downside scenario weighting in reserve calculation.

    Mitigation: Regularly evaluate potential impacts (private credit, AI disruption, data center supply chains); maintain intentionally positioned balance sheet; carry capital and reserves for flexibility; breadth of products and services.

    Rising commodities pricing due to Middle East conflictOngoing

    Impacts on specific clients are tangential at this point.

    Mitigation: Assessment across client segments (commercial clients relying on commodity inputs, clients whose customers are impacted by rising prices).

    Commercial real estate multifamily credits downgradeQ1 FY26

    Previously discussed credits further downgraded; net charge-offs of $17.4 million or 30 bps of LHI.

    Mitigation: Material project-specific equity and sponsor support give confidence in fundamental portfolio quality.

    Economic uncertaintyFull year 2026

    Reiterate full year provision outlook of 35 to 40 basis points of average LHI, excluding mortgage finance.

    Mitigation: Commitment to operating from a position of financial resilience.

    Why it matters

    Indicates the seasonal ramp-up and profitability of the restructured mortgage finance business.

    That gets you to about a $6 billion full year average warehouse balance. So we think that's actually the number for Q2 as well, Woody, that you'll have about $6 billion of average mortgage finance volumes.

    Q&A highlights

    5

    Will Middle East uncertainty cause a similar timing push-out in investment banking as tariff noise did last year?

    Management is pleased with their track record of finding solutions for clients, noting they were the #1 arranger of middle market syndicated credit and raised over $11 billion in non-bank debt. They emphasize that investment banking serves existing middle market and corporate clients, leveraging strong relationships. Record fee quarters are underpinned by granular deal volumes, not a few large transactions. They remain confident in their full-year investment banking revenue guidance.

    “these record fee quarters continue to be underpinned by much more granular deal volumes. So these are not a couple of large transactions. The really durable, consistent approach to delivering service in the market.”
