Net-Interest Margin

The net-interest margin improved to 2.18% this quarter from 2.07% for the preceding quarter, and was up from 1.66% for the same quarter last year. BankUnited's margin continued to expand due to the success of the commercial banking strategies, the further development of the mortgage product offerings and the execution of programs implemented in prior quarters, including those relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

The improvement in margin has continued even as the Federal Reserve has increased rates. Should the Fed slow down or pause in its increases, it is anticipated that BankUnited's net-interest margin could significantly benefit from further upward re-pricing of adjustable rate mortgages This article is about the US mortgage type.

    Note: BankUnited believes earnings, not including losses related
          to the FHLB prepayments (the "Non-GAAP Measure"), provides
          useful information to investors for the performance of
          financial analysis. BankUnited uses the Non-GAAP Measures
          internally to execute its in-period financial operating
          performance and to plan for future periods.  However,
          Non-GAAP Measures are neither stated in accordance with, nor
          are they a substitute for, GAAP measures.

    (1)   The conversion of 2,155,577 common  equivalent shares and
          related adjustments to income were not considered when
          computing diluted earnings per share during the quarter
          ended June 30, 2005 which had a net operating loss.
