Forward Guidance
The firm anticipates reducing its level of liquidity over the next three to four quarters and expects that eventually we will find our way to historical balance sheet liquidity levels.
Positive Outlook
- Loan growth will achieve an annualized growth rate of low-single digits this year, exclusive of PPP lending.
- Monthly new loan bookings increased throughout the last two months of the third quarter after hitting a low point for 2020 in July.
- Deposit flows will remain strong for the remainder of the year.
- Continue to target a less than 0.25 percent overall deposit rate for the firm.
- Wealth management rebounded in the third quarter with a nice increase in revenues.
Challenges Ahead
- National politics and the pandemic will impact the velocity of any economic recovery for the remainder of this year and into next year.
- PPP loans and liquidity build will continue to impact margin results over the next few quarters.
- Loan growth will be soft for the next few quarters due to the pandemic.
- Expenses increased in the third quarter of 2020 due primarily to the restructuring of our annual cash incentive plan with the addition of a PPNR growth component.
- 2020 expense growth will result in a mid-single digit percentage increase in comparison to the annualize run rate from the fourth quarter of 2019.
