IBOS member Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) Financial Group has announced its financial results for Q1 2018, ended 31 March, 2018, with a net income of $195 million compared to $117.2 million for Q4 2017.
Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 3.38% for the Q1 2018, compared to 3.20% for the Q4 2017. SVB’s net interest margin increased primarily as a result of the impact of rising interest rates as well as a shift in the mix of our interest-earning assets to loans from our fixed income securities.
For the Q1 2018, approximately 91.5%, or $21.9 billion, of SVB’s average gross loans were variablerate loans that adjust at prescribed measurement dates. Of SVB’s variable-rate loans, approximately 65.0% are tied to prime-lending rates and 35.0% are tied to LIBOR.
Below are SVB’s financial highlights in Q1 2018 (compared to Q4 2017):
- Average loan balances of $23.8 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion (or 6.1%)
- Period-end loan balances of $24.6 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion (or 6.4%)
- Average fixed income investment securities of $24.0 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion (or 0.8%)
