Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by, and welcome to the First Citizens BancShares Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. After the speakers’ presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, today’s conference is being recorded.

I’d now like to introduce the host of today’s conference call, Ms. Deanna Hart, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Deanna Hart

Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us for First Citizens Bank’s third quarter 2022 earnings call. It is my pleasure to introduce our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Frank Holding, as well as our Chief Financial Officer, Craig Nix, who will provide an update on our third quarter 2022 performance and share our outlook for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2023.

We are pleased to have several other members of our leadership team in attendance with us today, who will be available to participate in the question-and-answer portion of the call if needed. During the call, we will be referencing our investor presentation, which you can find on our Investor Relations website. An agenda for today’s presentation is on Page 2 of these materials. Following the completion of the presentation, we’ll be happy to take questions.

As a reminder, our comments will include forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause our results to differ materially from expectations. We assume no obligation to update such statements. These risks are outlined for your review on Page 3 of the presentation. We will also reference non-GAAP financial measures in the presentation.

Reconciliations of these measures against the most directly comparable GAAP measures are available in the appendix. Finally, First Citizens is not responsible for and does not edit nor guarantee the accuracy of our earnings teleconference transcripts provided by third parties.

With that, I will turn it over to Frank.

Frank Holding

Thank you, Deanna, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate all of you joining us today. We hope this call will be informative and give you a sense of the success we enjoyed through the third quarter and the path we’re on moving forward. We announced another quarter of solid financial results this morning, and I’m confident about both our trajectory moving forward and our ability to continue delivering long-term shareholder value. While we face some economic headwinds and the potential for a recession, we’ve not seen meaningful signs of stress in our credit portfolio to date.
