$WAL Western Alliance Bancorporation Earnings Call Key Highlights: (2/2)

📉 Allowance for Credit Losses and Reserve Adequacy

Despite OREO increase, reserve adequacy affirmed as assets were marked conservatively and are generating positive net operating income.

🏦 Capital and Tangible Book Value Growth

CET1 ratio increased to 11.2%, supported by earnings retention and selective RWA management; tangible book value rose XX% YoY to $XXXXX.

Tangible common equity to total assets held steady at 7.2%, with adjusted capital (CET1 + AOCI + ACL) at 11%, slightly above peer median.

Confidence expressed in the stability and value realization potential of current CRE and OREO portfolios.

📌 Outlook and 2025 Guidance
