公司商业业务有四个细分领域,第一季度增长主要在商业房地产领域,各领域有正常的还款情况,公司对各领域发展有信心,预计整体实现中高个位数增长,且业务以客户为导向,增长与过去表现一致 [34][35] 问题2: 对后期贷款增长乐观的情况下,贷款额度利用率和第一季度还款情况是否会放缓 - 贷款额度利用率未增加,还款活动受多种因素影响,难以预测,公司对业务管道和市场活动水平感到兴奋,认为有能力利用市场机会 [36] 问题3: 除大麻存款转移外,2022年其余存款的增长轨迹 - 世纪银行收购后,存款重新定位基本完成,此前行业和公司存款增长迅猛,未来存款增长将更困难,但公司对市场地位和能力有信心,存款结构是长期优势 [37][38] 问题4: 修订后的2022年净利息收入(NII)指导中假设的存款数据水平 - 公司未披露该数据,不同公司计算方式不同,假设众多,难以与其他银行进行苹果对苹果的比较,公司已将相关因素纳入指导 [40] 问题5: 上一轮加息周期的相关数据 - 公司未披露,因不同计算时间段结果不同,可查看当时资金成本变化情况 [41] 问题6: 第二季度掉期收入是否会减少 - 第一季度利率上升使掉期账面公允价值增加,掉期新业务此前因LIBOR转换存在不确定性而较低,第一季度有所回升,预计会继续,但除非利率继续上升,否则公允价值变动因素不会持续 [43] 问题7: 存款成本上升是来自消费者端还是商业端压力 - 是因为加入了世纪银行存款,其成本略高于东方银行,东方银行自身成本未变 [44] 问题8: 保险代理业务的并购环境,是否有交易管道和有吸引力的定价 - 交易管道活跃,小交易定价指标仍有利,公司专注于收入几百万美元及以下的小机构,预计今年收购两到三家保险机构 [46] 问题9: 新增的六位关系银行家是团队还是个人,有何特点 - 是个人招聘,分布在主要商业银行业务线,来自不同规模和情况的竞争对手,这有助于吸引更多人才,公司对后续商业贷款增长乐观 [48] 问题10: 商业贷款增长展望是否包含世纪银行的部分还款 - 包含世纪银行的还款 [49] 问题11: 新透支政策何时生效 - 2022年下半年 [50] 问题12: 本季度透支和NSF费用总额 - 年度化减少金额为500万 - 600万美元,本季度约占一半 [52] 问题13: 保险收入从第一季度到第二季度的变化 - 可参考去年情况,今年第一季度比2021年高2%,查看2021年的季节性变化来判断 [53] 问题14: 非利息费用中福利计划费用情况及全额运行率 - 福利计划在3月发布,不是全季度费用,首年赠款目标是重现作为互助公司时约1000万美元/年的长期激励费用,未来会有额外赠款 [55][56] 问题15: 截至3月31日的资产敏感性数据 - 与之前相近,每25个基点的利率上升预计带来约700万美元的增量净利息收入 [57] 问题16: 完成世纪银行收购后对银行并购的看法 - 公司愿意在有合适机会时进行新的合作,目前专注于有机增长,积极招聘以建立商业贷款业务和提升公司整体增长,提高估值倍数以更好地把握未来收购机会 [58] 问题17: 考虑新合作时的地理范围 - 仍专注于当前所在地区及相邻地区 [59]
