Western Alliance Bancorporation Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q1 2026
Western Alliance reported Q1 2026 results adjusted EPS of $2.22 (ex-fraud items), with core performance described as strong despite two previously disclosed fraud-related charge-offs. Management fully charged off the remaining $126.4M Lucadia loan and charged off $26M of the Cantor Group 5 loan while pursuing recoveries; $50.5M of securities gains and identified expense savings partially offset the LAM impact. Deposits surged by $5.6B in the quarter (ahead of a $8B 2026 target), enabling deposit optimization actions and supporting a lower cost of funds (interest-bearing deposit costs down 21 bps Q/Q). Total loans grew $903M Q/Q with balanced increases in HFI and HFS; HFI growth target remains $6B for 2026. NII was stable at $766M, NIM expanded 3 bps to 3.54%, and management now expects NII growth to trend toward the upper end of its 11–14% guidance given an updated assumption of no rate cuts. Noninterest income improved (but mortgage experienced a March dip; April activity improving) and adjusted PPNR/efficiency metrics strengthened (adjusted efficiency ratio ~48%). ACL remained at $461M (78 bps of funded HFI loans; total ACL 87 bps), with management expecting the allowance to trend to the low-80s bps as mix shifts toward C&I continue; core NCO guidance reiterated at 25–35 bps (ex-fraud items). CET1 held at targeted 11% after $50M of opportunistic buybacks; tangible common equity ratio down modestly to 6.8% due to growth and buybacks. Management reiterated capital targets, reiterated loan and deposit targets, emphasized deposit optimization to reduce funding costs (may keep Q2 deposits flat), and will host an investor day on May 12 to provide further detail.
