Opportunistic investments and higher incentives from outstanding performance
caused Q4'21 expenses to exceed guidance; Expect FY'22 noninterest expense %
growth excluding merger-related charges in the low 20s
Q4'21 activity
QoQ increase in noninterest expenses driven primarily by higher salaries and
wages from increased headcount across the organization and higher incentive
compensation related to SVB Leerink hiring and outstanding firmwide
performance
Q4 noninterest expenses excluding merger-related charges exceeded
guidance due to 1) continued success in recruiting top talent, particularly for
SVB Leerink, and 2) higher incentive compensation from stronger-than-
forecast firmwide performance
