EveryBank, N.A.
The average of every bank in America · Insured by nobody. Averaged by everybody.

Q1 2018 results · quarter ended March 31, 2018

EveryBank had a perfectly average quarter.

EveryBank, N.A. is the equal-weighted composite of every institution that filed an FFIEC Call Report for the period. There is no single truth to report, so we report two: the balance sheet you get when you average every bank's dollars, and the one that describes the bank in the exact middle of the industry.

Letter to shareholders

From the Office of the Chief Executive

Fellow constituents,

I am pleased to report that in the Q1 quarter EveryBank did approximately what everyone did. Deposits grew. Why did deposits grow? Deposits grew because deposits grew. Loans continued to lean on commercial real estate and single-family residential, the two lines that carry every balance sheet in this country whether the balance sheet wants them to or not. Net income reached $10.0M per institution, up 124.6% from a year ago — a figure I would love to take credit for, except that taking credit for the industry average is a category error.

We continue to run two businesses that share a charter: a globally trivial institution that a handful of trillion-dollar constituents drag into relevance in the mean, and the actual median bank, which takes deposits and makes loans in one county and has never wanted to do anything else. Net interest income of $23.4M did most of the work, as it does at nearly every constituent.

We reaffirm full-year guidance of exactly whatever happens. EveryBank has never beaten consensus and never missed it, for reasons I trust are self-evident.

A. Verne RidgeChair & Chief Executive Officer, EveryBank, N.A.

Forward guidance

Management expects to remain average. Any deviation from consensus would constitute a data error rather than a surprise, and should be reported to the modeler.
