Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $92.8 million and net interest margin was 3.24% compared to $95.5 million and 3.31%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The $2.7 million decrease, or 2.9%, in net interest income before provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $3.5 million decrease in interest income on loans driven by a decrease in loan yields, a $817 thousand decrease in interest income on equity securities and other investments and a $559 thousand increase in interest expense on transaction and savings deposits driven by an increase in funding costs on deposits. The decrease in net interest income was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in interest income on debt securities and a $1.2 million decrease on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Net interest margin decreased 7 bps compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the increase in funding costs on deposits during three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by an increase in debt securities.
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $10.6 million, or 10.2%. The decrease was primarily due to a $19.5 million increase in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits, a $16.9 million increase in interest expense on transaction and savings deposits and a $508 thousand decrease in interest income on equity securities and other investments. The decrease was partially offset by a $11.0 million decrease in advances from FHLB, a $10.2 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in loan yields and average balances, a $2.7 million increase in interest income on debt securities and a $2.5 million increase in interest income on deposits in financial institutions and fed funds sold. Net interest margin decreased 45 bps from 3.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in funding costs on deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2024, partially offset by an increase in loan yields and debt securities.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $6.7 million, an increase of $24.5 million, or 137.4%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $29.4 million loss in equity method investment income recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2023 related to a write down of our equity method investment in Thrive Mortgage, LLC ("Thrive") related to Thrive’s entry into a definitive agreement in December 2023 to be acquired by Lower Holding Company, which acquisition closed in March of 2024, with no corresponding or additional write down taken in the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition, the increase was due to a $1.5 million increase in other income driven by a $1.3 million increase in BOLI income and a $1.3 million increase in loan fees. The increase was partially offset by a $6.3 million loss on sales of investment securities as a result of a strategic restructuring in which we sold $120.1 million of lower-yielding AFS securities, at amortized cost, with a 3.11% average yield, and reinvested the proceeds in higher yielding AFS securities with a 6.24% average yield.
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $6.9 million, or 50.8%. The decrease was primarily due to a $7.1 million decrease in government guaranteed loan income, primarily driven by a decrease in the Company’s USDA sales, a $983 thousand decrease in loss on sales of investment securities and a $849 thousand decrease in other noninterest income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $62.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $60.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.9 million, or 3.1%. The increase was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $892 thousand increase in other noninterest expense. The increase is partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC insurance assessment expense, which includes a $768 thousand FDIC special assessment expense recorded in the fourth quarter 2023.
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by $5.5 million, or 9.7%. The increase was primarily due to a $3.0 million increase other noninterest expense, a $1.7 million increase in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC assessment fees that increased when the Company crossed $10 billion in total assets and a $1.5 million increase in salaries and employee benefits.

Financial Condition
Total loans held for investment (“LHI”) was $9.25 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $43.0 million, or 1.9% annualized, compared to December 31, 2023.
Total deposits were $10.65 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $315.6 million, or 12.2% annualized, compared to December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $295.1 million in certificates and other time deposits, an increase of $131.2 million in noninterest-bearing deposits and an increase of $17.7 million in correspondent money market account balances. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $128.3 million in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits.

Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $103.8 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at March 31, 2024, compared to $95.8 million, or 0.77% of total assets, at December 31, 2023. The Company had net charge-offs of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding were 22 bps for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 40 bps and 4 bps for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
ACL as a percentage of LHI was 1.15%, 1.14% and 1.02% at March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.5 million, $9.5 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively . The recorded provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of changes in economic factors. The Company recorded a benefit for unfunded commitments of $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a $1.5 million benefit for unfunded commitments for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and a $1.5 million provision for unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The recorded benefit for unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023, was attributable to a decrease in unfunded commitment balances partially offset by changes in economic factors.

Income Tax
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 totaled $7.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 20.5%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 23.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a net discrete tax expense of $384 thousand associated with the recognition of an excess tax expense realized on share-based payment awards.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by number of common shares outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and presents our tangible common equity to tangible assets:

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles (which we refer to as “return”) as net income, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, less tax benefit at the statutory rate; (b) average tangible common equity as total average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total stockholders’ equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Operating Earnings, Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings and performance metrics calculated using Operating Earnings and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings, including Diluted Operating Earnings per Share, Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Loans, Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity and Operating Efficiency Ratio. Operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings and the performance metrics calculated using these metrics, listed below, are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate (a) operating earnings as net income plus severance payments, plus loss on sale of debt securities AFS, net, plus M&A expenses less tax impact of adjustments, plus nonrecurring tax adjustments. We calculate (b) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (c) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating earnings as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus provision (benefit) for credit losses and unfunded commitments. We calculate (d) pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets as pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (e) operating return on average assets as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (f) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a), adjusted for the amortization of intangibles and tax benefit at the statutory rate, divided by total average tangible common equity (average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization). We calculate (g) operating efficiency ratio as noninterest expense plus adjustments to operating noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus adjustments to operating noninterest income, plus net interest income.

We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.
