Thank you, Johnny. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I'd like to welcome everyone to BofI Holding's conference call for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 ended December 31, 2014. I thank you for your interest in BofI Holding and BofI Federal Bank. BofI announced record net income of $19,372,000 for its second quarter ended -- 2015, up 47.3% when compared to the $13,154,000 earned in the second quarter ended December 31, 2013, and up 8.6% when compared to the $17,841,000 earned last quarter. Earnings attributable to BofI's common stockholders were $19,294,000 or $1.26 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $0.91 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, and $1.20 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Excluding the after-tax impact of net gains related to investment securities, core earnings for the second quarter ended December 31, 2014, increased $5.6 million or 40.6% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Other highlights for the second quarter include total assets reached $5,194,000,000 at December 31, 2014, up $792 million compared to June 30, 2014, and up $1.6 billion from the second quarter of 2014. Return on equity reached 19.08% for the second quarter. The efficiency ratio was 34.55% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, an improvement from 39.89% from the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and 34.81% in the first quarter of 2015. Credit quality remains very good, with 2 basis points of net charge-offs in the second quarter compared to 5 basis points in the corresponding period a year ago. Our loan units had another great quarter, with $1,079,000,000 in gross loans originated in the second quarter. As a result, the bank achieved good quarterly loan growth as loan balances grew…

Thanks, Greg. First, I wanted to note that, in addition to our press release, our 10-Q was filed with the SEC today, and is available online through EDGAR or through our website at bofiholding.com. Second, I will discuss our quarterly results on a year-over-year basis, meaning fiscal 2015 versus fiscal 2014, as well this quarter ended December 31, 2014 versus the first quarter ended September 30, 2014. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, net income totaled $19,372,000, up 47.3% from the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Diluted earnings per share were $1.26, up $0.35 or 38.5% compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Net income increased 8.6% compared to the first quarter ended September 30, 2014. For the 6 months ended December 31, 2014, net income totaled $37,213,000, up 46.9% compared to the 6 months ended December 31, 2013. Diluted earnings were $2.46 per share for the 6 months ended December 31, 2014, up $0.69 or 39% compared to the 6 months ended December 31, 2013. Excluding the after-tax impact of gains and losses associated with our securities portfolio, core earnings were $19,386,000 for the quarter ended in fiscal 2015, up 40.6% year-over-year from the $13,786,000 in core earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and up 4.9% from $18,485,000 in core earnings for the last quarter ended September 30, 2014. Net interest income increased $15,284,000 during the second quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and increased $3,236,000 compared to the first quarter ended September 30, 2014. This was a result of the increases in average interest-earning assets, combined with a decrease in cost of funds, resulting in net interest margin of 3.85% this quarter compared to 4.01% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and down 13 basis points…

Great. Operator, we are ready to take questions.

[Operator Instructions] We'll take our first question from Bob Ramsey from FBR. Bob Ramsey - FBR Capital Markets & Co., Research Division: First question, noticed that the portfolio loan yield dipped below 5% this quarter. I know you said, at least, on the jumbo side, origination yields have held up. Just kind of curious what drove the loan yield down this quarter and what, I guess, overall, sort of complete-blended yields are were on originations this quarter?

In general, the single-family jumbo yield was very consistent with what it's been over the last several years. Multi-family yields on new originations have definitely been lower, and they've been pulling down average loan yields. The other issue is that the net balances on the C&I side didn't increase as much as they normally have done in prior quarters, and those are always ending up pulling us up a little bit from a balance perspective. So I think that, that's -- those are the primary reasons there. But we -- I think, that on the good side, we don't see pressure on pricing on the single-family side. We still have a good business at reasonable yields on the multi-family side. The pipeline right now is basically where -- it's very close to -- from a WAC perspective, to where the current portfolio yield is, but I think that volume is a bit of an issue there. And then, I think -- and then C&I pipeline looks pretty good at pretty good rates, but those loans tend to be lumpy. We had a pretty big payoff early this quarter. That was one of our largest relationships. And so sometimes those things -- that's really, I think, the main way to look at that. If you had anything to add, Andy.

No, I think, it's a good summary. Bob Ramsey - FBR Capital Markets & Co., Research Division: Okay, that's helpful. And I think, if I heard you right, earlier on the call too, Greg, you said, that the outlook is for your margin to stay north of 3.8% on a go-forward basis. Is that -- did I hear you correctly?

Yes, that's right. I mean, definitely, when we look at even from a -- with conservative assumptions for this quarter, we've kind of tried to forecast that out. And we think that, that is a pretty reasonable forecast. We've had -- we've been -- we've done -- I think we've done a pretty good job of migrating our deposit rates down pretty well, and really being able to try to provide some different value propositions to customers. We -- last -- with the delay in the Block deal and some of that on the acquisition side, we felt like we really needed to push and just make sure we raised deposit levels. And we also extended borrowings quite a bit from an interest-rate reduction perspective. And so some of those things -- although, we did have a reduction in our deposit, the overall cost of funds, it would have been significantly greater, if we had brought on the deposits that we were expecting from our acquisitions. And so -- and that also had some impact on some of the interest rate risk metrics, which we basically normalized for now, as if that wasn't occurring. So I think that, as I said on the last call, while I think that deal's going to get done, just the timing of that's going to impact our ability to continue to reduce our cost of funds. But all that being said, I still see, from a visibility perspective, based on very nice C&I loan pipelines, stability in the primary businesses that we have and stability in how we're bringing on deposits, I believe we'll be able to maintain that number. I think if -- and I believe that -- I still believe the Block transaction will happen. As that happens, I do think that we'll have some -- that will have some positive impact on margin and we might be able to move -- not enough [ph] to the higher end of that range that I've given guidance on, but at least more towards the mid part of that range. Bob Ramsey - FBR Capital Markets & Co., Research Division: Okay, great. And then, last question and I'll hop out. But as you guys mentioned deposit growth was really strong this quarter, loan-to-deposit ratio came down pretty meaningfully quarter-over-quarter, and yet the cost of deposits was really pretty stable. I'm curious what you all did to sort of really accelerate the deposit growth this quarter.

Well, we did a lot of things. We spent a lot more money on marketing. We've been doing a lot on the sales team side. Our -- we've taken a little bit different approach than maybe other branchless banks, we have a lot of outbound salespeople that are cross-selling to all our customers. They're coming in on the jumbo side. Frankly, whether or not they close a loan or not, so it's really been a lot of blocking and tackling relating to marketing and sales fundamentals, and we've been putting these in place for a long time. Getting our sales force systems to talk with everyone. And when it's -- when a lead gets registered in -- and exactly what's the right process for getting it on a marketing drip and where the propensity model's pushing you to have somebody reach out to that person and how to think about all of that stuff. We've been doing a lot of work on it, and we really kind of needed to turn it on. We were maybe a little bit complacent when we thought we're going to get our deal done. And I thought we had a few more quarters to be able kind of push some of those marketing dollars out, but we ended up having to do that. So there's -- I don't know if it really -- [indiscernible] probably if it showed up in this quarter, it would have been spent, and marketing increases were largely -- when I'd say largely, I'd say almost entirely focused on the deposit side. We've been adding capabilities and salespeople to our Business Banking group. We've segregated -- well, it was already segregated, but we've segregated a sales force that can focus on the treasury management relationships and work on more complex relationships there. So it's really been a -- it's a combination of a lot of stuff. There isn't really any one thing that was there. I mean, we -- look, we didn't time exactly where we -- the deposit side, we expected to be in a really good place there, and so we just needed to catch up a bit. I think we really did a good job with that, and I think it should alleviate any concerns about our ability to continue to raise deposits to support growth. Bob Ramsey - FBR Capital Markets & Co., Research Division: And without -- if you sort of put First Marblehead and H&R Block to the side for the second, would it be your expectation that organically, for the back half of fiscal '15, you continue to grow deposits faster than loans?

Well, I think we certainly have the ability to do that, if that's what we want to do. I'd like to -- look, I obviously -- I want to continue to work to reduce our cost of funds and increase our fee income on deposits. And so I think those are always things that you want to balance off, right? And so First Marblehead, we got an approval letter a couple of hours before this call, and so the timing of that is we have to wait. There's a DOJ waiting period, which I would be shocked if that was applicable to this transaction. I think they've got better things to do. And so that will happen, and then, the Block process is there, too. So I think that we'll be able to balance our deposit and loan growth, and do that in a way that supports our growth goals.

And we'll now take our next question from Andrew Liesch from Sandler O'Neill. Andrew Liesch - Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P., Research Division: Just want to talk about in the expenses, the salaries and benefits, they've gone up about $1 million each in the last 3 quarters, and I know that you're doing a lot of hiring in growth, but I would imagine that pace slowed. I was kind of curious like how you look at that number through the next few quarters.

Yes, the -- I do think that there's some level of plateau that gets reached at certain points in growth cycles. But look, we're going to continue to invest in the future of what we're doing, and that means continued growth in people. I think that where our continued investment in people and where our level of cost to income ratio is, I think that it's being done prudently and thoughtfully. And we want to make sure we're ahead of opportunities. And so a lot of times -- investments in data infrastructure, we put in a whole new information technology stack on the marketing side, which is, I think, really best-in-class. We talked about that on the Analyst Day. We're investing in a new BSA system, which we think is going to be a lot more -- better at detecting suspicious activity and those sorts of things. And so I think there may be some moderation there, and I -- there might be, but I would say that I think that the guidance around the efficiency ratio is probably the best place to focus. We -- if you think about the growth trajectory we have, we just have to continue to make sure that we're on top of making sure that the management teams and the middle managers and everybody that we have are really strong folks who are going to be able to support a very good business model that we have. Andrew Liesch - Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P., Research Division: Got you. And then, I guess, similarly, the provisions increased in the last few quarters, along with the loan growth. Is that kind of how we should be looking at that as well? Just slowly rising as the bank continues to grow?

Yes, that's fair.

And we'll now take our next question from Don Worthington from Raymond James. Donald Allen Worthington - Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Research Division: In terms of deposits, how much do you have -- the current balances related to your prepaid card partnerships?

I don't want to give the exact number. It was about $70 million or something.

It's $80 million.

$80 million. So it was about $80 million. Donald Allen Worthington - Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Research Division: Okay. All right.

Yes, so we -- if you're going to -- if you want to talk about the brokered, I'll let you ask your question first. I figured it would come up. Donald Allen Worthington - Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Research Division: Yes, I think I -- that was where it was headed, but obviously, the number's relatively small compared to the deposit base, so don't know that it's a big issue for you...

Yes, well -- I mean -- so we read that guidance. To be candid, we're not sure that the base on the structure, the relationships that we have, that it fits within the guidance. But just to be prudent, we're going to classify those deposits this quarter as brokered. We're having a lawyer, our attorney, look at this. We -- right now, it's just based on the timing of it and the timing of the call report, we wanted to do that. We will, obviously, look at the structure of these relationships and think about structures that matter. I mean, I think, unfortunately, the application of a broker deposit tag on these are really pretty -- I think, pretty inappropriate, given the fact that they are very, very stable, low-cost funds that really don't have any of the volatile characteristics that I think the purpose of the underlying statute was designed to address. So I think there's -- I honestly think that there's already going to be some movement on some of these things like there was an article that was published based on a discussion with the FDIC General Counsel, where he was already starting to make noises about particular things that they had said. Well, if a one-off referral occurs, and then what I said there wouldn't apply. I think that there'll be some movement around what these things look like over time. So well for -- I don't know if you know how they assess -- that whole broker deposit assessment stuff works. So basically, on our base assessment, we're below the minimum rate anyway. So this -- to the extent that the broker deposit side takes you up above it, there's some cushion, because we weren't hitting the 5 basis points as it is, but there is a little bit of incremental cost associated with it. Do you want to talk about what it was, Andy, as you computed it here?

Sure, yes. It'll bring up our insurance cost up about, in a basis point terms, 0.1 basis point per quarter, roughly. So -- for that $80 million. So it's not very consequential.

That's on the whole liability [ph].

It's on the [ph] -- it's not all liability, it's just the calculation.

That's not on the $80 million, so yes. Also, obviously, the real wallop is if you fall into a different risk category, right, and so I know there's been some announcements in the industry, some, it was inconsequential, other, it was very consequential. And that's related to that risk categorization that the FDIC uses to determine what kind of penalty box you get put in for that. Donald Allen Worthington - Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Research Division: Yes. Okay, great. That's good color. And then, in terms of capital, looks like you've used most of the current ATM. Is that the route you'd think about going in the future should you need to raise more capital?

Yes, we've used -- I know that the Q had -- that we had extra, I don't know, 10 or whatever left. We've -- in the timeframe from that, the date, we've deployed all the remaining -- we've raised all the remaining capital under the ATM. And so yes, I would expect that we would -- we have -- our shelf's expiring. We're in the -- before that expires, we'll put another shelf in place, and we'll put another ATM in place. We think that's a highly effective and good way of raising capital. And it works really well for us -- so we'll keep on doing it.

We'll now take our next question from Matthew Kelley from Sterne Agee. Matthew Brandon Kelley - Sterne Agee & Leach Inc., Research Division: Getting back to the FDIC guidance outside of the prepaid business. Anything in that document that might impact some of your deposit lines of business and have the potential to be classified as brokered that is not today?

No, I don't think so. And then, I think with regard to the prepaid side, we don't really think our relationships are structured the way that they're described there. And there maybe some things that -- for example, whether a program manager ever had the ability to move accounts, things like that. There may be some things that just have to change from a perspective of how those structures are created over time. Matthew Brandon Kelley - Sterne Agee & Leach Inc., Research Division: Okay. And with that classification, as brokered on the prepaid deposits, has any changed in your longer-term view of the prepaid business overall?

Not really. I mean, I think that -- look, I'm a general skeptic of putting all my eggs in one basket, because I think that this is an example of why it's difficult to do that, right? So you see that we're always trying to think about newer things and diversity of our business opportunities. And so other players have taken a different approach to that. And candidly, I think the deposit base that those guys have developed, if you can keep yourself out of regulatory hot water, is actually a valuable asset that is quite stable and is of good cost -- of low cost at least, if you charged appropriately from a fee structure perspective, which I don't really think happens as often as it should. I think the industry is mispriced. But look, we've always had this view that we wanted to have strategic partnerships with people that we could do other things with and not just act as a BIN sponsor, right? That's really not our focus. We want to do things with partners that have other benefits to the organization, whether it's customer acquisition, cross-sell, if we can provide lending products to them and they have unique expertise, they may have particular processing abilities. They may have load networks. They may have things that we need and what those look like. So we're never going to be a bank that has 20 or 30 of these relationships. That's just not what it's going to look like for us. Matthew Brandon Kelley - Sterne Agee & Leach Inc., Research Division: Okay, got you. Then, on the H&R Block transaction, can you remind us of the key dates in the merger agreement that are coming up over the next couple of weeks and months that we should be monitoring?

Yes, I think there's an exclusivity period end around February 15, and then, I think that really is the key date. Now -- I mean, obviously, what we need to do is -- I think that -- we've been -- had there -- there's been some exchange of information and some dialogue this week with the OCC on status there. I think that we'll expect to continue to receive information on this. And I don't think that -- although, certainly, we want -- we're not going to continue with fool's errands. We also are going to be thoughtful about around what the whole structure of everything means, right? So obviously, I've said before, the agreement is really quite simple one for an acquisition to deposits, and that we're very willing and ready and able to enter into the agreement and to do the program management services at any time. And we've always been -- thought that, that was the appropriate path for this. Block has a desire to do all these things together, and they have some -- they have other agencies that they're need to -- the Feds involved with their deal and some other things like that. But we're -- frankly the -- other than some short sellers who are trying to stem the pain that they're going to feel by choosing poorly what shares to short. I think that the hurry is more one of just alleviating the market uncertainty because the reality of the product implementation is that it's not going to be until the 2016 tax season, right? Because I do think there's a desire just to get it on -- moved on, just because it does create uncertainty in the market. Matthew Brandon Kelley - Sterne Agee & Leach Inc., Research Division: Right. And the detail, the exclusivity agreement, once that is past that date, that gives Block the ability to shop it more broadly. Is that how it works or -- explain that?

Well, it's bilateral. I mean, theoretically, we could look it's -- the reality of -- it basically doesn't allow them to shop it around and it also -- it's bilateral in the sense that we can theoretically say that we no longer wish to comply with the terms of the agreement but -- I think that those dates were picked based on feedback that we received about times and things like that, so we're hopeful we know something. But I wouldn't -- look, the reality of these things are is that we have a good relationship with Block, and the best sort of agreements are ones that you don't have to look at very often. And I would categorize our relationship as one that we're not really sitting around looking at the agreement and worried about those sort of things.

And we'll now take our next question from Julianna Balicka from KBW. Julianna Balicka - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division: I have a couple of more questions. One, if we can go back to the discussion about -- around the deposit growth. In your remarks, you had referenced that you've identified new types of businesses that were receptive [ph] to both fees, value proposition and penetrating larger relationships and cash management. Could you elaborate a little bit more about these new types of businesses? And where I'm going with this question is I'm looking at the $660 million core deposit growth that you had, linked quarter in dollars, and wondering how much of that is kind of like low-hanging fruit, out of the gate, real easy kind of catch-up growth versus how much of that can be repeated if you were to continue penetrating these businesses in the next several quarters?

Yes, I think that's a really good question. And some of that growth is frankly, doing some things that, I'd look at and I would look cross-eyed at somebody in deposits and say, "So why weren't we doing this again?" Like, for example, having introduction calls with large jumbo loan customers and talking to them about our deposit value proposition and things like that. But I still think that there's lots of opportunities. I don't think -- I think that this -- this was obviously a quarter that we -- we don't expect or need to have that much deposit growth. So I think that we'll be able to continue to sustain deposit growth that well supports our loan growth objectives. And our loan growth objectives are not to grow loans at 40% or something either. So I think that asset growth objectives need to be -- they shouldn't be in the 40s or even in the high-30s or something. So I think that when you look at those 2 together, I feel pretty good about it. I mean, what I think is really happening is that, obviously, the business banking side is maturing. There's good managers in place there, the data initiatives are working. And so I think you have to continue to -- you do exploration in some new business areas and you see where levers are that they care about and then you exploit them, and I think that there's -- I feel good about everything we're doing in deposits, better than we ever have, so... Julianna Balicka - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division: Okay. And then, kind of switching to the asset side. I mean, you obviously said not to think about 30% growth despite you guys just having that kind of growth rate. But looking at your average [ph] loan to deposit ratio pro forma for H&R Block and First Marblehead, you'll very quickly go to 99% loans to deposits, right? So should that extend your -- want to run that at a higher -- above 100% level. Where shall we think about the next leg of loan growth to be coming from? Meaning, continued growth from resi, jumbo resi and multi-family? Or are you going to be pursuing new loan growth areas that are not yet contributing materially, that kind of are the next natural direction for you to go? Like, I don't know, like commercial real estate?

Well, we have a small -- we have a pretty small balance, a pretty small, small balance commercial real estate product out there. We've been letting it run now probably for about a year, actually, and just -- and looking at what type of loans we're getting, working on systems and that sort of thing. And I've liked what I've seen there, so I think that, that certainly is an option. We think that there are opportunities in different areas in C&I and there's some new things that we're working on, on the consumer side too, from a cross-sell perspective, related to our customers to be able to monetize and spread the cost of acquisition across those things. But a lot of it depends on factors that are kind of exogenous to what we're doing. We want to be ready for those things. So for example, on the multi-family side, as soon as the 5-year goes down, all these banks that don't have -- that none of their funding cost depends on the 5-year to rob [ph] their rates, right? So that means that multi-family production, I would expect, to be tougher to come by as long as we're having issues with Greece, right? And I think -- and so that is -- but then on the other hand, if the Fed is pushing rates up higher, and depending on what, let's say, if Shared National Credits stop being -- stop having their covenants written like my sixth grader's creative writing assignment, right, then that would mean that there would be opportunities there. So I think it's a little bit difficult for me to forecast that. The way I think about this is that we work for a long time on system and infrastructure on stuff, and so I'm not…

That's -- I have to say, actually, I'm going to give you like the award for that. I think my dad had a good sense of humor, and he used to say, "If that's a question" -- when you get a question, like, "Have you stopped beating your wife?" You always have to stop back and say, "Wait a minute. What was that -- just question?" So anyway, look, we -- the reasons that the OCC has for thinking about H&R Block in a longer and more drawn-out fashion versus a more simple deal, like the deal that they just approved very quickly, I think are related to what they perceive as a very unique and a complex transaction. And so this is something that they want to have a very thorough review of, and that also means that there's a lot of people involved. There's been, at different times, mention of different guidance that they're creating and all those sort of things. So look, we just got a transaction approved. They're not holding up transactions generally for the bank. And as I've said before, we also have the ability to just simply go out and enter into the program management agreement. And I wouldn't say that if I was told you can't informally -- or otherwise, you can't enter into the program management agreement or you can't enter into prepaid relationships or whatever. That's never happened. And so that's really all I can say about that. I think we remain optimistic that this will get approved. Julianna Balicka - Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods, Inc., Research Division: Excellent.

But it's not certain.

We'll now take our last question from Michael Millman from Millman Research Associates.

Actually, it's a follow-up to that last question from -- for a non-bank analyst, it does seem that this is simple -- the Block is a simple transaction. It's deposits -- are kind of a very simple. So it's, as you say, First Marblehead went right through. It's hard to imagine what the problem is. And secondly, what is the OCC learning in the last 3 months that they didn't learn in the first 1 month or first 6 months?

Well, I mean, look, I think I've really probably said all I can here. And I think that there's -- look, H&R Block serves lots of constituents. They touch lots of people. There's interesting issues that arise whenever you enter into third-party relationships that involve control of risk, and those things are complex. Now I think that the issue of tying the part that's complex to the part that's non-complex is something that I would say -- I would categorize that as something that probably shouldn't have been done. In other words, in the sense that the program -- the part that has some complexity to it doesn't require approval. The part that is not complex does. And so those -- the tying of those things together, I think, is something that may have made this a broader-scope review than it otherwise would have been. That's -- I think that's sort of something that's out of the barn now, and it is what it is. And ultimately, I think it -- I think hopefully what it'll do is it'll lead to a more positive outcome because it'll result in a very thorough review, where everybody has exactly the same set of expectations. And so I think on one hand, you can always look at the negative side of this, which is obviously, we missed out on a nice chunk of revenue and we've had lots of people who have been able to write things that are untrue about us. And really, I don't know how much effect they've had. I think mostly they've been disregarded for the drivel that they are. But on the other hand, what you're getting is you're getting a really thorough, good review and a great understanding of the transaction and relationships, and that is something that will matter on a going-forward basis as we execute our arrangements and actually go through the relationship. And I think that there's a positive in that.

So bottom line, have you learned a lot through this procedure? Or is it basically repeating things that you thought from Day 1?

Oh, no, I definitely have learned a lot. And there are few things that I said from Day 1 that I expected to happen did happen, but I'm constantly learning, and that's why I love my job so much and I love working for all of you guys. So for all -- not you analysts, but you shareholders. So...

I'll now turn it over for closing remarks.

All right. Well, thanks, everybody, and look forward to talking with you next quarter. Have a good Super Bowl weekend. Bye.

This does conclude our conference. Thank you for your participation.
