Adjusted net income1 for the first quarter of 2022 was $29.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share, compared to $34.3 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $38.1 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2021. For the first quarter of 2022, annualized return on average assets and annualized return on average tangible common equity1 were 0.91% and 12.72%, respectively. Based on adjusted net income1, annualized return on average assets was 0.93% and annualized return on average tangible common equity1 was 13.02% for the first quarter of 2022.
Pre-provision net revenue1 for the first quarter of 2022 was $36.1 million, compared to $34.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $40.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue1 for the first quarter of 2022 was $39.4 million, compared to $41.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $42.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. Pre-provision net revenue to average assets1 for the first quarter of 2022 was 1.16%, compared to 1.04% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 1.54% for the first quarter of 2021.

The Company experienced its fourth consecutive quarter of strong core loan1 growth, principally in commercial lending segments. Core loan1 growth of $127.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 follows $141.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, $177.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, and $142.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. Over the last four quarters, the Company has generated $587.8 million in core loan1 growth, equating to an annualized growth rate of 9.4%. The Companys first quarter has historically been a seasonally light quarter for growth.
The Companys first quarter 2022 results include a provision release of $0.3 million for credit losses and a $1.1 million provision expense for unfunded commitments. The first quarter provision expense for unfunded commitments primarily related to increases in unused commitment balances. The total allowance for credit losses was $88.2 million at March 31, 2022, representing 1.21% of total portfolio loans outstanding and 1.22% of core loans1. The Company recorded net recoveries of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Our fee-based businesses continue to add revenue diversification. In the first quarter of 2022, wealth management fees were $15.8 million, compared to $13.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $12.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, representing 25.4% year-over-year growth. Consolidated revenue from payment technology solutions from the Companys subsidiary FirsTech was $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $4.6 million in both the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021, representing 9.9% growth. Fees for customer services were $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, representing 10.8% year-over-year growth.
The Company views certain non-operating items, including acquisition-related and other restructuring charges, as adjustments to net income reported under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-operating pretax adjustments for the first quarter of 2022 included $0.8 million of expenses related to the acquisition of Cummins-American Corp. (CAC), the holding company for Glenview State Bank (GSB). The Company believes that non-GAAP measuresincluding pre-provision net revenue, adjusted pre-provision net revenue, pre-provision net revenue to average assets, adjusted pre-provision net revenue to average assets, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted net interest income, adjusted net interest margin, efficiency ratio, adjusted efficiency ratio, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets, core loans, core loans to portfolio loans, core deposits, core deposits to total deposits, and core loans to core depositsfacilitate the assessment of its financial results and peer comparability. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is included in tabular form at the end of this release.

Balance Sheet Growth
Our balance sheet remains a source of strength. Total assets were $12.57 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $12.86 billion at December 31, 2021, and $10.76 billion at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, portfolio loans were $7.27 billion, compared to $7.19 billion as of December 31, 2021, and $6.78 billion as of March 31, 2021. Amortized costs of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans of $31.8 million, $75.0 million, and $522.1 million are included in the March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, portfolio loan balances, respectively. During the first quarter of 2022, Busey Bank experienced another strong quarter of core loan1 growth of $127.1 million, consisting of growth in commercial balances3 of $80.3 million and growth in retail real estate and retail other balances of $46.8 million. Growth was principally driven by our Northern Illinois, Central Illinois, and Florida regions. Historically, the Company has experienced slower loan growth during the first quarter as compared to other quarters of the year.
Average portfolio loans were $7.16 billion for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $7.11 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $6.74 billion for the first quarter of 2021. The average balance of PPP loans for the first quarter of 2022 was $51.5 million, compared to $123.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $482.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. Average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2022 were $11.70 billion, compared to $11.95 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $9.75 billion for the first quarter of 2021.
Total deposits were $10.59 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $10.77 billion at December 31, 2021, and $8.87 billion at March 31, 2021. Fluctuations in deposit balances can be attributed to the retention of PPP loan funding in customer deposit accounts, the impacts of economic stimulus, other core deposit1 growth, and the seasonality of public funds. The Company remains funded substantially through core deposits1 with significant market share in its primary markets. Core deposits1 accounted for 98.7% of total deposits as of March 31, 2022. Cost of deposits declined to 0.08% in the first quarter of 2022, a one basis point reduction compared to December 31, 2021. Excluding time deposits, the Companys cost of deposits was 0.04% in the first quarter of 2022.
During the first quarter of 2022 a portion of the investment portfolio comprised of commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities were transferred from available for sale (AFS) to held to maturity (HTM). At March 31, 2022, the amortized cost of the securities in HTM were $976.1 million. As a result of the transfer the overall duration of the AFS portfolio at March 31, 2022, was reduced by 0.4 years.
Net Interest Margin1 and Net Interest Income
Net interest margin1 for the first quarter of 2022 was 2.45%, compared to 2.36% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2.72% for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding purchase accretion, adjusted net interest margin1 was 2.41% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2.31% in the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2.63% in the first quarter of 2021. Net interest income was $70.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $70.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $64.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. Tax equivalent net interest income1 excluding PPP net fee contribution was $69.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $67.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, and $60.7 in the first quarter of 2021.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised rates during the first quarter of 2022, for the first time in three years, which is expected to have a positive impact on net interest margin1, as assets, in particular commercial loans, reprice more quickly and to a greater extent than liabilities. Given the timing of the FOMC meeting in March, the benefit of the associated movement in rates to our net interest margin will be largely realized in subsequent quarters. In general, net interest margins1 have been impacted over the last two years by PPP loans, significant growth in the Companys liquidity position, and the issuance of debt. Factors contributing to the nine basis point increase in net interest margin during the first quarter of 2022 include:
Asset Quality
Credit quality continues to be exceptionally strong. Loans 30-89 days past due declined to $3.9 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to $6.3 million as of December 31, 2021, and $9.9 million as of March 31, 2021.

Non-performing assets were 0.13% of total assets at the end of the first quarter of 2022, compared to 0.17% at December 31, 2021 and 0.25% at March 31, 2021. Non-performing assets at March 31, 2022 included a $2.0 million OREO property, the sale of which closed subsequent to quarter-end, although the associated impairment was recognized in the first quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased to $35.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $35.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. Revenues from wealth management fees and payment technology solutions activities represented 58.3% of the Companys noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, providing a balance to spread-based revenue from traditional banking activities. On a combined basis, revenue from these two critical operating areas increased by 21.2% compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Wealth management fees were $15.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, a 25.4% increase from the comparable period in 2021. Net income from the Wealth Management segment was $5.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $4.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, a 24.7% increase from the comparable period in 2021. First Buseys Wealth Management division ended the first quarter of 2022 with $12.33 billion in assets under care, a decrease from $12.73 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021 principally due to a reduction in market valuations, and a 15.3% increase from $10.69 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2021, comprised of organic and market related growth, as well as increases resulting from the acquisition of CAC.
Payment technology solutions revenue from FirsTech was $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $4.6 million for both the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021. Excluding intracompany eliminations and consolidations, FirsTech generated revenue of $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2022, compared to $4.9 million during both the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021. The FirsTech operating segment generated net income of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase from $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. The Company is currently making strategic investments in FirsTech to further enhance future growth including further upgrades to the product and engineering teams to build an application programming interface (API) first cloud-based platform to provide for fully integrated payment capabilities as well as the continued development of our Banking as a Service (BaaS) platform.
Fees for customer services were $8.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2021, a 10.8% increase from the comparable period in 2021.
Mortgage revenue was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, a decrease from $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Sold-loan mortgage volume declined in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same quarter in 2021 due to a higher share of portfolio loan production in 2022.
Other noninterest income was $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, an increase from $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. Other noninterest income benefited from higher income recognized on venture capital investments and gains on disposal of fixed assets, partially offset by lower swap fees and SBA loan sale gains recorded during the first quarter of 2022.
Operating Efficiency
Noninterest expense was $70.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $71.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $54.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. Noninterest expense excluding non-operating adjustments1 was $69.5 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $65.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $54.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. As a result, the efficiency ratio was1 62.97% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 64.42% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and 54.67% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 62.18%, 59.09%, and 54.33% for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The Company remains focused on expense discipline, while making necessary investments to support the organic growth of our key business lines and related support and risk management functions.
Noteworthy components of noninterest expense are as follows:
Capital Strength
The Company’s strong capital levels, coupled with its earnings, have allowed First Busey to provide a steady return to its stockholders through dividends. The Company will pay a cash dividend on April 29, 2022, of $0.23 per common share to stockholders of record as of April 22, 2022. The Company has consistently paid dividends to its common stockholders since the bank holding company was organized in 1980.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company continued to exceed the capital adequacy requirements necessary to be considered well-capitalized under applicable regulatory guidelines. The Companys Common Equity Tier 1 ratio is estimated to be 11.89% at March 31, 20224, compared to 11.85% at December 31, 2021, and 12.83% at March 31, 2021. The Companys tangible common equity1 was $855.6 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $959.4 million at December 31, 2021, and $918.6 million at March 31, 2021. Tangible common equity1 represented 7.01% of tangible assets at March 31, 2022, compared to 7.68% at December 31, 2021, and 8.82% at March 31, 2021. The reduction in tangible common equity for the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by movement in interest rates and the resulting impact on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased 188,614 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $27.68 per share for a total of $5.2 million under the Companys stock repurchase plan. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 347,210 shares remaining on its stock repurchase plan available for repurchase.

Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this document, other than those concerning historical financial information, may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations, and assumptions of the Companys management, and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as believe, expect, anticipate, plan, intend, estimate, may, will, would, could, should, or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this document, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events. A number of factors, many of which are beyond the Companys ability to control or predict, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the Companys forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following: (i) the strength of the local, state, national, and international economy (including effects of inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints); (ii) the economic impact of any future terrorist threats or attacks, widespread disease or pandemics (including the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic), or other adverse external events that could cause economic deterioration or instability in credit markets (including Russias invasion of Ukraine); (iii) changes in state and federal laws, regulations, and governmental policies concerning the Companys general business; (iv) changes in accounting policies and practices; (v) changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Companys assets (including the impact of The London Inter-bank Offered Rate phase-out); (vi) increased competition in the financial services sector and the inability to attract new customers; (vii) changes in technology and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; (viii) the loss of key executives or associates; (ix) changes in consumer spending; (x) unexpected results of current and/or future acquisitions, which may include failure to realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisition and the possibility that transaction costs may be greater than anticipated; (xi) unexpected outcomes of existing or new litigation involving the Company; and (xii) the economic impact of exceptional weather occurrences such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and blizzards. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Additional information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect its financial results, is included in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
