Loans and Leases

As of September 30, 2022, the total loan and lease portfolio was $7.39 billion, 4.7% above its level at June 30, 2022, and 14.4% above its level a year ago. This growth was the product of strong origination volumes. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, loans and leases held for investment increased $993.2 million, or 16.9%, to $6.85 billion while loans held for sale decreased $662.1 million, or 55.2%, to $537.6 million. The decrease in loans held for sale was largely the result of a $754.7 million transfer of loans to held for investment classification, including $696.6 million in guaranteed loans, largely due to the impact of recent and anticipated future market conditions in a rising rate environment. Average loans and leases were $7.21 billion during the third quarter of 2022 compared to $6.93 billion during the second quarter of 2022. Excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, the total loan and lease portfolio increased by $368.6 million, or 5.3%, compared to June 30, 2022, and $1.40 billion, or 23.4%, compared to September 30, 2021.

The total loan and lease portfolio of $7.39 billion includes $23.9 million of PPP loans, net of deferred fees and costs, at September 30, 2022, which are carried at historical cost and classified as held for investment. The total loan and lease portfolio at September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022 was comprised of 56.6% and 55.5% of unguaranteed loans and leases, respectively.

Loan and lease originations totaled $1.01 billion during the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $45.6 million, or 4.8%, from the second quarter of 2022. Loan and lease originations decreased $58.0 million, or 5.5%, from the third quarter of 2021.

Deposits

Total deposits increased to $8.40 billion at September 30, 2022, an increase of $249.2 million compared to June 30, 2022, and an increase of $1.59 billion compared to September 30, 2021. The increase in total deposits from the prior periods provides support for the growth in the loan and lease portfolio.

Average total interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2022 increased $386.7 million, or 5.0%, to $8.09 billion, compared to $7.70 billion for the second quarter of 2022. The ratio of average total loans and leases to average interest-bearing deposits was 89.1% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 89.9% for the second quarter of 2022.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $35.6 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $86.2 million and $575.0 million at June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company decreased borrowings by $50.6 million and $539.4 million as compared to June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively, primarily by paying off the outstanding balance of the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility by the end of September 2022.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 increased to $83.9 million compared to $79.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $77.7 million for the third quarter of 2021.

The net interest margin for the third and second quarters of 2022 was 3.84% and 3.89%, respectively, a decrease of 5 basis points quarter over quarter. This decrease was due to recent interest rate increases where deposits are repricing more rapidly than the Company’s loan portfolio. During the third quarter of 2022, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by fifty-six basis points while the average yield on interest-earning assets increased by forty-eight basis points.

The increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 was driven by growth in the volume for the total loan and lease portfolio. Partially mitigating this increase was a decrease in the net interest margin arising from an increase in interest-bearing liabilities combined with average cost of funds outpacing the average yield on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $57.7 million, a decrease of $70.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 and an increase of $32.4 million, compared to the third quarter of 2021. The primary drivers in noninterest income changes are outlined below.

The largest driver of the decrease in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 arose from a decrease in equity method investment income of $89.9 million. This quarter over quarter decrease was due to the $120.5 million gain associated with Fiserv, Inc.’s acquisition of the Company’s ownership in Finxact, Inc. (“Finxact”) in the second quarter of 2022 being partially offset by the $28.4 million gain arising in the third quarter of 2022 associated with Jack Henry & Associates, Inc’s acquisition of the Company’s ownership in Payrailz. Correspondingly, the largest contributor to the increase in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021 was the Payrailz gain.

The loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a loss of $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to a $8.7 million loss for the second quarter of 2022 and a $5.9 million loss for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease in the loss on loan servicing asset revaluation for both periods was principally the result of positive movements in market pricing, particularly as it relates to variable products, during the third quarter of 2022.

Net gains on sales of loans for the third quarter of 2022 was $9.3 million, a $3.6 million increase compared to $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2022 and a $9.6 million decrease compared $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company significantly decreased loan sale volumes due to unusually weak market conditions. The increase in net gains on sales of loans over the second quarter of 2022 was largely the result of higher loan sale volumes combined with, to a lesser extent, signs of positive market trends for variable rate loans during the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in net gains on sales of loans compared to the third quarter of 2021 is the result of lower volume of loan sales combined with overall weaker market conditions compared to those experienced in the prior year. The average guaranteed gain on sale premium was 108%, 108% and 110% for the third quarter of 2022, second quarter of 2022 and third quarter of 2021, respectively. The volume of guaranteed loans sold was $148.1 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $68.8 million sold in the second quarter of 2022 and $201.9 million sold in the third quarter of 2021.

The net gain on loans accounted for under the fair value option totaled $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2022, a $8.9 million increase compared to the $4.5 million net loss for the second quarter of 2022 and a $5.5 million increase compared to the $1.0 million net loss for the third quarter of 2021. The increase in valuation of loans accounted for under the fair value option compared to both prior periods was largely the result of the above referenced signs of positive market pricing trends on variable rate loans combined with continued amortization of the portfolio of loans accounted for under the fair value option.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $83.0 million compared to $80.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $55.5 million for the third quarter of 2021. The primary drivers in noninterest expense changes are outlined below.

Salaries and employee benefits for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $2.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 and increased $15.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2021. Additional bonus accruals of $7.5 million and $3.0 million were included in both the second and third quarters of 2022 related to the earlier discussed Finxact and Payrailz gains, respectively. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits compared to the second quarter of 2022 was principally due to the decrease in additional bonus accruals while the increase over the third quarter of 2021 was largely the product of continued investment in human resources to support strategic and growth initiatives, including the $3.0 million additional bonus accrual discussed above.

Technology expenses increased $2.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2022 and $1.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2021. The increase for both periods was primarily related to enhanced investments in the Company’s technology resources.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company incurred $7.6 million in impairment charges related to a new renewable energy tax credit investment. Investments of this type generate a return primarily through the realization of income tax credits and other benefits; accordingly, impairment of the investment amount is recognized in conjunction with the realization of related tax benefits. This investment generated a federal investment tax credit of $6.1 million which is included in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Investments of this nature are part of the Company’s ongoing initiative to promote renewable energy sources.

Contributions and donations for the third quarter of 2022 decreased $5.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2022. This decrease was related to a special charitable donation during the second quarter of 2022 of $5.0 million made in connection with the Finxact gain discussed earlier.

Asset Quality

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recognized net charge-offs for loans carried at historical cost of $1.7 million compared to net charge-offs of $2.5 million in both the second quarter of 2022 and third quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases carried at historical cost, annualized, for the quarters ended September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, was 0.12%, 0.19% and 0.21%, respectively.

Unguaranteed nonperforming (nonaccrual) loans and leases, excluding $2.7 million and $3.6 million accounted for under the fair value option at September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022, respectively, increased to $14.3 million, or 0.23% of loans and leases held for investment which are carried at historical cost, at September 30, 2022, compared to $12.0 million, or 0.22%, at June 30, 2022.

Provision for Loan and Lease Credit Losses

The provision for loan and lease credit losses for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $14.2 million compared to $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. The level of provision expense in the third quarter of 2022 was the result of loan growth, charge-off experience impacts, the above discussed loan reclassification from held for sale to held for investment and changes in the macroeconomic outlook.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $78.3 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $65.9 million at June 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost was 1.23% and 1.24% at September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Income Tax

Income tax expense and related effective tax rate was $1.5 million and 3.4% for the third quarter of 2022, $25.3 million and 20.7% for the second quarter of 2022 and $9.4 million and 21.7% for the third quarter of 2021, respectively. The lower level of income tax expense for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022 and third quarter of 2021 was primarily the result of higher than anticipated investment tax credits related to renewable energy investments, arising from the impacts of the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 combined with higher than expected costs as a result of the ongoing inflationary environment.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $10.5 million, or 1.3%, during the third quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to $42.9 million in net income partially offset by $36.0 million of negative market impacts on the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

This press release presents the non-GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable GAAP financial measure are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
