IRR Sensitivity – What We Believe Static interest rate risk (IRR) results do not accurately reflect Meta’s true interest rate sensitivity due to our unique, predictable deposit baseDue to historically predictable weekly, monthly, and yearly deposit volatility, static IRR results can be significantly skewedΔUtilizing quarterly average balances for deposits and borrowings, with cash as the offset, provides a more accurate view of the Company’s IRR positionUnderstanding the predictable, quarterly and yearly, cyclicality in deposits and investments is necessary to interpret interest rate risk resultsMPS related non-interest bearing deposit value will be unlocked if interest rates riseLarge deposit increase in the March quarter is not included in December quarter analysis *
