Sandler O’Neill & Credit Unions‐

• Advised:

• CUs and NCUA regarding the issues emanating from the “Tale of Two Cities”, the bifurcation of credit unions (2005 CUES “On‐Line column)

• CUs and NCUA of a “credit bubble” in the US and CUs. (August, 2004, “How Consumer’s Debt Affect CUs”; November, 2005, “We’ve Built A House of Cards”)

• Losses in CCUs would likely exceed $10B

• CUs would likely face new capital requirements & subtraction of the NCUSIF deposit from CU capital. (January, 2011, “Running On Empty” client note)

• Large CUs would likely be included in Federal Reserve “stress test”

• CUs would likely see “S” added to CAMEL

Sandler O’Neill & Credit Unions‐

• Advised:

• One or more of the largest banks would aggressively market for and price core deposits as a way to satisfy regulation related to LCR/NSFR; thus further eroding margins for all. 

• Has not happened, yet.

• Recent American Banker article: “NSFR would require about 30 of the country’s biggest banks to adjust their balance sheets…”

• Regulation by three agencies: the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Considerations Influencing Growth and Earnings

Regulatory Trends‐ standardization of regulation, supervision, capitaltreatment and insurance fund for banks and CUs

Credit Union access to supplemental capital

Economy of Scale‐ implications for: the value proposition, asset andearnings growth, ability to comply with current/new regulations

Merger Trends/Considerations‐ the most un‐level “playing field”…thecompetitive implication resulting from a lack of meaningful CU mergers while banks raise capital and add scale thru acquisition

Balance Sheet Management‐Margin, Capital, Liquidity and IRR‐ balancesheet solutions for generating incremental earnings

From “Only the Paranoid Survive” by Andrew S. Grove; Intel Corporation

“…a strategic inflection point is a time in the life of a business when its fundamentals are about to change. That change can mean an opportunity to rise to new heights. But it may just as likely signal the beginning of the end…..”

• Is consolidation the new inflection point for “banking”?

• The difference in your CU between today and 5 years from now?

Regulatory Trends and Considerations

The “do‐nothing” Congress did plenty with Dodd‐Frank; and most of it isshaking up the business model of banks and credit unions…more so for credit unions.

Only when the dots are connected, is the trend clear…

…the US Treasury Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory Structure (“Blueprint”) is for real and Congress is enabling disruptors into the consumer finance business at the expense of banks and CUs.

The business is at an inflection point and the dots are not being connected!

The Blueprint And “Federal Charter Convergence”

Commercial banks, thrifts and CUs, above an asset size, have evolved andare difficult to distinguish from each other.Treasury recommended to:    1. Establish a “business conduct regulator” for consumer protection.2. Eliminate the federal commercial bank, federal thrift and federal CU charters and replace with the FIDI charter.

These recommendations have been implemented: CFPB establishedOTS merged into OCCAll of the major new & proposed regulations for CUs standardize  your supervision with banks

• “Congress established the FCU charter…to make credit available to people of small means through a national system of cooperative credit. Over time…the field of membership, has become less meaningful. Some credit unions have arguably moved away from their original mission of making credit available to people of small means, and in many cases they provide services which are difficult to distinguish from other depository institutions.”

– ~40 “single sponsor”– Most want a level field with banks on MBL, capital and FOM

• The remaining 5,609 (28% of industry assets) are not seeking regulations on par with banks

The Credit Union Paradox

“A Tale of Two Cities” and regulatory trends combine with market facts to create a paradox for CUs:

What is the regulatory regime, capital adequacy rule and the trade association structure ……capable of dealing effectively with:

“above an asset size” CUs are difficult to distinguish from banks but easyto distinguish from small CUs?

• US Treasury has said:

• “The Share Insurance Fund counts the 1 percent deposit as its reserves. (But) credit unions count the 1 percent deposit as an asset on their own books, which makes their reported net worth higher than it would be than if they had expensed the deposit. This treatment results in……double counting”

NCUA’s 2016‐2017 Annual Performance Plan‐ Legislative Priorities

The legislative priorities:

1. “Providing NCUA with vendor authority…achieves parity with other federal regulators

2.    “Restoring NCUA’s access to back‐up liquidity…re‐establishing NCUA’s borrowing authority ($30 billion)…revising  the FCUA…modernize the CLF.”

3.    “Improving NCUA’s ability to manage the NCUSIF…”

NCUA Proposes Insurance Premium Change; NCUSIF Cap Raise

NCUA has proposed to Congress “an FDIC‐like” approach to insurance premium calculation:

assets minus equity‐ borrowings are counted as part of the insurance basis

“CAMELS‐ based” premiums to encourage sound lending and operations

raise the NCUSIF cap to >2% from 1.35%‐ would require assessments that leave the balance sheet

U.S. Treasury Blueprint for Regulatory Reform

Will credit union’s face both a deduction of the NCUSIF deposit from net worth and assessments to increase the reserve level?

Will the FASB changes to CECL compound the capital impact?

We are discussing FDIC’s CAMELS based approach to insurance with our clients.

Regulatory Trends and Considerations

Credit Unions increasingly want to understand:

How will the Blueprint be completed?

How can we improve earnings and liquidity while building capital?

What merger opportunities exist for my CU (can/should we buy a bank)?

What does “raising” capital look like and what does it mean to my strategic plan?

What role does supplemental capital play in the successful execution of M&A?

• Of the 12,035 FIs in America, majority are barely profitable/unprofitable without fees

• The lack of profitability raises safety and soundness questions across a wide spectrum:– Lack of talent in key positions, across multiple institutions– Lack of adequate modeling & analytic capability – Strategic risk‐ “stretching” to overcome both intense competition & perceived

Large, growth minded CUs want to acquire but are frustrated by:• Lack of access to Tier 1 capital

• Systemic lack of accountability‐ “The (BASEL)survey indicated that certain weaknesses in the Boards…are more common in financial cooperatives …than in banks. Examples included a lack of both fit‐and‐proper requirements…” (does CMP change the dynamic?)

• Targets that won’t merge (a conflict of interest with member “owners”)

• Systemic lack of support for consolidation because only the acquirer benefits, all other system participants have “something to lose”

• Basel Committee on Banking Supervision; Consultative Document. Guidance on the application of the Core principles for effective banking supervision to the regulation and supervision of institutions relevant to financial inclusion. 31 March 2016

• Should we be a buyer or seller?

• Growth and earnings below average for 3+ years…what must we do differently to reverse this trend and what will it cost?

• “It’s either scale or niche, but its difficult to niche a commodity that demands scale.”

• The best time to strike a deal is before everyone else figures out its time to sell

• Large banks and CUs are considering the various “speed bump” implications:the incremental compliance costs associated with the $10B milestone is estimated to be $17M (17% of a 1% ROA).

• The February 1, 2016 American Banker featured 2 articles describing the role of activist investors encouraging lower performing banks to sell themselves.

• Consolidation will continue to accelerate as strong performers add scale and efficiencies through both organic growth and merger.

• The most efficient credit unions will soon consider the lack of willing and viable merger candidates a material competitive threat

• 1934‐1942‐ CUs were housed under the old Farm Credit Administration.

• 1942‐1947‐ FDIC was the designated federal regulator for CUs but member shares were not insured.

• 1948‐1970‐ the Bureau of Credit Unions was housed under; Federal Security Administration and then the Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

• 1970 NCUA was statutorily established as a separate, independent regulator and with its own insurance fund (NCUSIF). In 1979, NCUA became a member of the FFIEC.
