2 No Singular Profit Mandate Maximize Return 3 Credit Union Dual Mandate Provide benefit to Stay adequately capitalized Minimize ROA Maximize ROA 4 2

3 Four Steps to Solve the Riddle 1. Guiding Philosophy: We will be a Member focused entity. 2. Quantify It: How do we measure success? 3. Prepare for It: Roadmap to long-term sustainability. 4. Prove It: External validation. Minimize ROA Maximize ROA 5 MONEYBALL It s unbelievable how much you don't know about the game you ve been playing all your life. -Mickey Mantle 6 3

4 MONEYBALL Your goal should not be to buy players. Your goal should be to buy wins. In order to win, you need to score runs. In order to score runs, you need to get on base. On Base Percentage: Walk = Hit 8 4

5 CUBALL 9 HELLO My Name Is Bank in CU Clothing 10 5

6 HELLO My Name Is Return on Assets Profit extracted from in current year 11 HELLO My Name Is Net Worth Cumulative profit extracted from 12 6

7 HELLO My Name Is Asset Size pay asset growth tax (more assets = more net worth) 13 HELLO My Name Is Executive Compensation Incentivized to Take From (Maximize ROA, Net Worth and Asset Size) 14 7

8 CUBALL Your goal should not be to extract profit from and hoard it away as capital. You goal should be to create value for and be good stewards of profit taken for regulatory compliance. = Take Only What is Necessary 15 Guiding Philosophy 16 8

9 Hierarchy of Member Do Focused Priorities Good (Performance Dividend) Create Member Value (Efficient Use of Member Resources) How much can we create? (Maintain Net Worth) 17 Maintain net worth. Efficient use of Member resources. Retain and attract talent. Concern for community. Take only enough to maintain net worth. 18 9

10 Maintain net worth. are the owners. They contribute to and democratically control the capital of the cooperative. 1. Set minimum for safety and soundness. 2. Set maximum to avoid hoarding. 19 Make efficient use of Member net worth. Balance Sheet Product Mix 1.20% Cost 1.20% Yield 10% Asset Growth Tax Relationship Shares Rate Sensitive Funds Capital Loans Surplus Funds Non Earning 20 10

Improve Product Mix First; Grow Assets Second Not an Asset; No Tax Relationship Shares Rate Sensitive Funds Capital Non-Interest Income Loans Surplus Funds Non Earning 22 11

12 Make efficient use of Member net worth. Priorities to Avoid Asset Growth Tax: 1. Recurring, Value-Based Non-Interest Income 2. Improve Asset Mix (Loans) 3. Improve Funding Mix (Relationship Shares) Pay Asset Growth Tax: 4. When Liquidity Needed (Lowest Priority) 23 Make efficient use of Member net worth. Implications of Strong Product Mix: 1. Improves ROA without taking from. 2. Demonstrates institutional competency. 3. Improves overall safety and soundness

13 Balance Sheet Balance Sheet Income Statement Balance Sheet Balance Sheet Income Statement 6/6/2016 Operate in a productive manner. Traditional Productivity Components Loans Investments Non-Earning Relationship (Low Int Rate Risk) Rate Sensitive (High Int Rate Risk) Capital Net Interest Income Non-Interest Income Non-Interest Expense 25 Operate in a productive manner. Strategically Most Valuable Loans Investments Non-Earning Relationship (Low Int Rate Risk) Rate Sensitive (High Int Rate Risk) Capital Net Interest Income Non-Interest Income Non-Interest Expense 26 13

Expense to Asset Ratio Loans Investments Non-Earning Ignores Strategic Balance Relationship (Low Int Rate Risk) Rate Sensitive (High Int Rate Risk) Assumes All Assets Equally Important Capital Counts Expense; Ignores Income Net Interest Income Non-Interest Income Non-Interest Expense 27 Operate in a productive manner.

15 Operate in a productive manner. A Better Way: Higgins Ratio (SM) Non-Interest Expense Minus Non-Interest Income = Net Cost Loans Plus Relationship (Low Int Rate Risk) Strategic Balance Lowest Net Cost per Strategic Balance Dollar is Most Productive 29 Operate in a productive manner. Grow Expense 5 Percent A Better Way: Higgins Ratio (SM) Non-Interest Expense Non-Interest Income = Net Cost Loans Relationship (Low Int Rate Risk) Strategic Balance Manage Right Growth to Restore Ratio 30 15

16 Manage credit losses within tolerance. 1. Establish Net Charge-Off (NCO) Tolerance 2. Set Loan Loss Reserve Multiple (Wall Height) 3. Loan Loss Reserve is NCO X Multiple 2.00 X NCO Net Charge-Offs LLR Multiple Loan Loss Reserve Member Net Worth 31 Provide Member favorable pricing. 1. Below market loan yield. 2. Above market dividend rate. 3. Superior surplus funds yield. 4. Lower prices on fees and charges

17 Retain and attract talent. 1. Performance dividend based upon value created for (not taken from). 2. Competitive compensation and benefits. 3. Career and personal development plans. 33 Concern for community. 1. Member give-back. 2. Community outreach. 3. Foundational funding. Intrinsic Reward 4. Do something good! 34 17

18 Take only what is necessary. Not Enough ROA Just Right Too Much ROA Minimum Optimal 10% X 5% = 0.50% % Safety Mgn = 0.70% Minimum ROA = Target Net Worth Ratio X Appetite for Asset Growth = Minimum ROA + Safety Margin 35 Hierarchy of Member Do Focused Priorities Good (Performance Dividend) How much can we create? Create Member Value (Efficient Use of Member Resources) (Maintain Net Worth) 36 18

19 Measure It 37 Algebra that Builds Hierarchy of Member Values Formula to Provide Member Benefit = (Ln Asset Pct x Ln Yld + Surplus Funds Pct x Surplus Funds Yld + NII Pct Assets - (Higgins Ratio (SM) * (Ln Asset Pct + Rel Share Pct) + NII Pct) - NCO Pct * Ln Asset Pct - Ln Growth x Ln Asset Pct x NCO Pct x LLR Mult) x (1-( Pct + Pct) Formula to Stay Adequately Capitalized Asset Growth Supported = / Target Net Worth Pct 38 19

Eliminate outliers and non-recurring items. Populate current performance values. Combination of values is what the credit union will make and how much asset growth it will support if nothing changes (algebra ties it all together). Analysis helps with vetting budget

Then something has to change; performance must improve or strategy revised. Performance Options: - Reduce/eliminate performance dividend. - Reduce/eliminate community giving. - Improve productivity. - Improve asset quality. - Take more from via pricing. 45 Hierarchy of Member Values Now Mitigation Sustain Create Member Value Total Assets $ $ Net Worth % % Loans % % Relationship Shares % % Non-Interest Income % % Higgins Ratio (SM) % % Net Charge-Offs % % Loan Loss Reserve X X Loan Yield % % Surplus Funds Yield % % Cost of Funds % % Performance Dividend % % Community Giving % % Net Income (ROA) % % Growth Supported % % Mitigation Values Mitigation values are minimum levels of acceptable performance. Review current performance, recent trends and peer to establish targets. If performance falls outside of mitigation boundary, plan of corrective action is required.
