For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reported net income of $313.1 million, or $3.13 per diluted share, compared to $324.9 million, or $2.99 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Quarterly Highlights
• | The net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.41% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, unchanged from the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2019. Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $185.3 million, compared to $185.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The net interest margin and net interest income were 4.01% and $295.1 million, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The most significant reason for the decline in net interest income and the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2018, was the decrease in accretion on formerly covered residential loans. |
• | The cost of total deposits declined by 0.19% compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2019, to 1.48% from 1.67%. |
• | Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $674 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, to 17.6% of total deposits at December 31, 2019 compared to 15.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2018. Non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $168 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

• | Nine months into the implementation phase, we are beginning to see the impact of BankUnited 2.0 on our operating results and remain on track to achieve our previously disclosed target of incremental annual pre-tax impact of $60 million by mid-2021. |
• | Book value per common share grew to $31.33 at December 31, 2019 from $29.49 at December 31, 2018 while tangible book value per common share increased to $30.52 from $28.71 over the same period. |

For the year ended December 31, 2019, loans and leases grew by 5.2%. 2019 results reflected growth across all major lending categories with the exception of multi-family and Pinnacle. The increase of $712 million for the year in residential and other consumer loans included $434 million of growth in the GNMA early buyout portfolio. The decline in multi-family balances included net runoff of the New York portfolio of $348 million, continuing to reflect changes in strategy around this portfolio segment. The decline in the Pinnacle portfolio was impacted by the sale of $168 million of loans during the year. For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, mortgage warehouse outstandings declined by $137 million due to seasonally lower utilization rates.
Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
For the quarters ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a net recovery of the provision for loan losses of $0.5 million and a provision for loan losses of $12.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $8.9 million and $25.9 million, respectively. The provisions for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 included $14.0 million and $26.2 million, respectively, related to taxi medallion loans.
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was impacted by an increase in specific reserves, particularly for one $41 million commercial loan, decreases in loss factors used to estimate reserves on loans not individually evaluated for impairment and recoveries of $4.2 million.
Factors contributing to the decrease in the provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 included (i) the reduction in the provision related to taxi medallion loans; (ii) a decrease in the non-taxi provision related to specific reserves; and (iii) changes in the composition of portfolio growth; offset by (iv) net increases related to the relative impact on the provision of changes in certain quantitative and qualitative loss factors.
Non-performing loans totaled $204.8 million or 0.88% of total loans at December 31, 2019, compared to $137.6 million or 0.60% of total loans at September 30, 2019 and $129.9 million or 0.59% of total loans at December 31, 2018. The most significant components of the $67.2 million increase in non-performing loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 were the transfer to non-accrual of the $41 million commercial loan discussed above and a $12.6 million increase in the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status. The guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status totaled $45.7 million, $33.1 million and $17.8 million, representing 0.20%, 0.14% and 0.08% of total loans at December 31, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Loans risk rated special mention, substandard or doubtful represented 1.90% of total loans at December 31, 2019 compared to 1.92% of total loans at September 30, 2019.

The ratios of the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and to non-performing loans were 0.47% and 53.07%, respectively, at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.50% and 84.63%, at December 31, 2018. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.05% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 0.28% for the year ended December 31, 2018, of which 0.18% related to taxi medallion loans.

Charge-offs related to taxi medallion loans totaled $25.0 million and $38.4 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.
Deposits
At December 31, 2019, deposits totaled $24.4 billion compared to $23.5 billion at December 31, 2018. The average cost of total deposits declined to 1.48% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, from 1.67% for the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2019, and 1.52% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.
Net interest income
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased to $185.3 million from $295.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Net interest income was $752.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interest income decreased by $105.4 million and $167.3 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in accretion on formerly covered residential loans. Interest income on formerly covered residential loans declined by $106.9 million to $14.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from $121.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Interest income on formerly covered residential loans declined by $305.2 million to $63.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $368.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Interest expense increased by $4.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 due primarily to an increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Interest expense increased by $130.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 due to increases in both average interest bearing liabilities and the cost of funds.
The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, remained flat at 2.41% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, compared to the immediately preceding quarter ended September 30, 2019. The net interest margin was
3
4.01% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The Company's net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 2.47% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 3.67% for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The most significant factor impacting the decreases in net interest margin for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 was the decrease in accretion on formerly covered residential loans. Both the average balance of and yield on these loans declined. The decline in the average balance resulted in large part from the sale of a substantial portion of the loans during 2018. The yield on the remaining loans declined to 34.91% and 34.33%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 from 147.37% and 86.13%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, due primarily to changes in assumptions about the remaining period over which accretable yield would be realized, attributable to management's decision to retain certain loans beyond expiration of the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.
Other factors contributing to the decline in the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 included:
• | The tax-equivalent yield on loans other than formerly covered residential loans decreased to 4.04% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, from 4.18% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The most significant factor contributing to this decrease was the impact of decreases in benchmark interest rates during 2019. |
• | The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 3.18% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from 3.59% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The most significant factors contributing to this decrease were the impact of decreases in benchmark interest rates during 2019 and increased prepayment speeds on securities owned at a premium. |
Additional offsetting factors contributing to the decline in the net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 included:
• | The tax-equivalent yield on loans other than formerly covered residential loans increased to 4.18% for the year ended December 31, 2019, from 4.00% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The most significant factor contributing to this increase was the impact of increases in benchmark interest rates during 2018. |
• | The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 3.46% for the year ended December 31, 2019 from 3.35% for the year ended December 31, 2018, primarily due to increases in coupon interest rates, partially offset by increased prepayment speeds. |
• | The average rate on interest bearing liabilities increased to 2.09% for the year ended December 31, 2019 from 1.66% for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase reflected higher average rates on interest bearing deposits, short term borrowings and FHLB advances. |
For both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 the increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of total deposits positively impacted the net interest margin.
Non-interest income
Non-interest income totaled $37.8 million and $147.2 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $33.3 million and $132.0 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018. Excluding the impact of transactions in the formerly covered assets, including Income from resolution of covered assets, Net loss on FDIC indemnification and Gain on sale of covered loans, non-interest income totaled $33.7 million and $118.9 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.
The most significant factors contributing to the increases in non-interest income, excluding the impact of transactions in the formerly covered assets for 2018, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year were increases of $7.2 million and $18.0 million, respectively, in gain on investment securities. Gains on investment securities related primarily to the sale of securities in the course of managing the Company's liquidity position, portfolio duration and mix, and to increases in the fair values of certain marketable equity securities. Securities gains for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 included $5.7 million in gains related to the sale of formerly covered securities acquired in the FSB Acquisition and a $0.6 million increase in the fair value of marketable equity securities.
4
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense totaled $119.0 million and $487.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $246.7 million and $740.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018. The most significant component of these decreases in non-interest expense was the decrease in amortization of the FDIC indemnification asset. The FDIC indemnification asset was amortized to zero during the fourth quarter of 2018 in light of the expected termination of the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.
Employee compensation and benefits declined by $1.1 million and $19.7 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 relative to the comparable periods of the prior year, primarily due to a reduction in headcount. Professional fees decreased by $3.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to fees incurred related to the implementation of our BankUnited 2.0 initiative, CECL implementation and certain technology projects during the fourth quarter of 2018. Professional fees increased by $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily attributable to consulting services related to our BankUnited 2.0 initiative. Increased technology and telecommunications expense related primarily to investments we are making in cloud technology, our digital platforms, data initiatives and enhancement of some of our risk management capabilities.
Non-interest expense for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019 included an impairment charge of $1.9 million related to operating lease equipment.
Costs incurred directly related to the implementation of BankUnited 2.0 during the year ended December 31, 2019 included professional fees of $10.8 million, branch closure expenses of $2.4 million, and severance costs of $1.6 million. For the quarter ended December 31, 2019 these costs totaled approximately $0.3 million.
Provision for income taxes
The effective income tax rate was 14.4% and 22.5% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was positively impacted by changes in state apportionment factors in connection with the filing of state income returns and by a reduction in the Florida corporate income tax rate.

Supplemental Calculations
Calculation of Loss Share Contribution and Non-Loss Share Earnings Per Share
Non-Loss Share Earnings are calculated by removing the total Loss Share Contribution from Net Income. The Loss Share Contribution is a hypothetical presentation of the impact of the covered loans and FDIC indemnification asset on earnings for each respective quarter, reflecting the excess of Loss Share Earnings over hypothetical interest income that could have been earned on alternative assets (in millions except share and per share data):

Calculation of Hypothetical Interest Income on Alternate Assets
The hypothetical interest income calculated below reflects the estimated income that may have been earned if the average balance of covered loans and the FDIC indemnification asset were liquidated and the proceeds assumed to be invested in securities at the weighted average yield on the Company’s investment securities portfolio as reported. Historically, cash received from the repayment, sale, or other resolution of covered loans and cash payments received from the FDIC under the terms of the Shared Loss Agreement have generally been reinvested in non-covered loans or investment securities. There is no assurance that the hypothetical results illustrated below would have been achieved if the covered loans and FDIC indemnification asset had been liquidated and proceeds reinvested (dollars in millions):
