First Quarter 2023 Balance Sheet Highlights
Loans
•Total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, were $13.6 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $13.6 billion at December 31, 2022 and $12.0 billion at March 31, 2022. PPP loans totaled $3.5 million, $5.0 million and $67.0 million as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Loans held for investment excluding PPP loans and mortgage warehouse loans increased $8.5 million, or 0.2% on an annualized basis, during first quarter 2023.
•Average mortgage warehouse purchase loans were $298.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $297.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, and $549.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $878 thousand, or 0.3% from the linked quarter and a decrease of $251.6 million, or 45.8% year over year. The change from the prior year is reflective of decreased demand and lower volumes related to mortgage rate increases and shorter dwell times for the year over year period.
Asset Quality
•Total nonperforming assets decreased to $60.1 million, or 0.32% of total assets at March 31, 2023, compared to $64.1 million or 0.35% of total assets at December 31, 2022, and $71.1 million, or 0.40% of total assets at March 31, 2022.
•Total nonperforming loans decreased to $37.3 million, or 0.27% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2023, compared to $40.1 million, or 0.29% at December 31, 2022 and $71.0 million, or 0.59% at March 31, 2022.
•The decrease in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets from the linked quarter reflects normal paydowns and principal reductions of loans as well as a decrease of $1.5 million due the adoption of a new accounting standard related to the accounting for TDRs, while the linked quarter decrease in nonperforming assets also reflects a $1.2 million writedown of an other real estate owned property.
•The decrease in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets for the year over year period primarily reflect the partial paydown and sale of a $9.3 million commercial nonaccrual loan and the payoff and partial charge-off of an $11.2 million commercial nonaccrual loan, both occurring in fourth quarter 2022, as well as the foreclosure of two commercial real estate properties totaling $22.7 million net related charge-offs and a write-down totaling $4.7 million taken during the year over year period. These reductions were offset by the addition of an $11.9 million commercial real estate loan placed on nonaccrual in 2022.
•Charge-offs were 0.04% annualized in the first quarter 2023 compared to 0.02% annualized in the linked quarter and 0.01% annualized in the prior year quarter. The first quarter 2023 rate was due to a $1.2 million charge-off on a construction loan.
Deposits, Borrowings and Liquidity
•Total deposits were $14.1 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $15.1 billion at December 31, 2022 and compared to $14.9 billion at March 31, 2022. The decrease in deposit balances during the quarter was due to a strategic remixing of non-brokered specialty treasury deposits late in the quarter in response to the liquidity environment in March as well as to a gradual decline in noninterest-bearing deposits throughout the quarter.
•Estimated uninsured deposits, excluding public funds deposits totaled $5.3 billion, or 37.4% of total deposits as of March 31, 2023.
•Total borrowings (other than junior subordinated debentures) were $2.1 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.6 billion from December 31, 2022 and an increase of $1.7 billion from March 31, 2022. The year over year and linked quarter changes primarily reflects the use of short-term FHLB advances to strategically increase the bank’s cash position in response to uncertainty more broadly across the sector as well as $100.0 million in borrowings on the Company's unsecured line of credit offset by the redemption of $30.0 million of subordinated debentures.
Capital
•The Company continues to be well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At March 31, 2023, the estimated common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios were 9.67%, 9.01%, 10.03% and 11.85%, respectively, compared to 10.09%, 9.49%, 10.45%, and 12.35%, respectively, at December 31, 2022 and 11.09%, 9.38%, 11.48%, and 13.72%, respectively at March 31, 2022. The decline in first quarter 2023 ratios reflects the net loss position for the quarter related to the settlement of the Stanford litigation.

First Quarter 2023 Operating Results
Net Interest Income
•Net interest income was $127.9 million for first quarter 2023 compared to $131.1 million for first quarter 2022 and $141.8 million for fourth quarter 2022. The decrease from the linked quarter and prior year was primarily due to the increased funding costs on our deposit products and FHLB advances as a result of the continued Fed rate increases offset to a lesser extent by increased earnings on interest earning assets, primarily loans and interest-bearing cash accounts. The prior year decrease also reflects lower acquired loan accretion and PPP fees earned for the year over year period. The first quarter 2023 includes $1.0 million in acquired loan accretion compared to $1.1 million in fourth quarter 2022 and $3.6 million in first quarter 2022. In addition, net PPP fees of $15 thousand were recognized in first quarter 2023 compared to $1.2 million in first quarter 2022 and $58 thousand in fourth quarter 2022. Total fees left to be recognized were $86 thousand as of March 31, 2023.
•The average balance of total interest-earning assets decreased $163.7 million and totaled $16.4 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $16.5 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and increased $262.5 million from $16.1 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The slight decrease from the prior year is primarily due to lower average interest bearing cash balances and average taxable securities balances, which decreased approximately $1.6 billion and $224.2 million, respectively, offset by an increase of $1.6 billion in average loan balances for the year over year period. The slight increase from the linked quarter is primarily due increased average loan and interest bearing cash balances.
•The yield on interest-earning assets was 4.98% for first quarter 2023 compared to 3.46% for first quarter 2022 and 4.67% for fourth quarter 2022. The increase in asset yield compared to the linked quarter and prior year is primarily a result of increases in the Fed Funds rate, while the prior year increase is also a result of the shift in earning assets from lower yielding interest-bearing deposit balances to higher yielding loans due to the strong loan growth for the year over year period. The average loan yield, net of acquired loan accretion and PPP income was 5.33% for the current quarter, compared to 4.09% for prior year quarter and 5.01% for the linked quarter.
•The cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including borrowings, was 2.63% for first quarter 2023 compared to 0.36% for first quarter 2022 and 1.81% for fourth quarter 2022. The increase from the linked quarter and prior year is reflective of higher funding costs, primarily on deposit products and FHLB advances as a result of Fed Funds rate increases.
•The net interest margin was 3.17% for first quarter 2023 compared to 3.22% for first quarter 2022 and 3.49% for fourth quarter 2022. The net interest margin excluding acquired loan accretion was 3.14% for first quarter 2023 compared to 3.13% first quarter 2022 and 3.46% for fourth quarter 2022. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year and linked quarter was primarily due to the increased funding costs on deposits and short-term advances resulting from continued Fed rate increases over the year, offset to a lesser extent by higher earnings on loans due to organic growth and rate increases and higher earnings on interest bearing cash balances due to rate increases for the respective periods.
Noninterest Income
•Total noninterest income decreased $131 thousand compared to first quarter 2022 and increased $1.5 million compared to fourth quarter 2022.
•The change from the prior year primarily reflects decreases of $1.4 million in mortgage banking revenue and $634 thousand in mortgage warehouse purchase fees offset by $597 thousand in service charge income. In addition, prior year quarter reflects a $1.5 million loss on the sale of a loan. The linked quarter change reflects increases of $381 thousand in mortgage banking revenue and $352 thousand in other noninterest income, as well as a $343 thousand loss on sale of loan which occurred in the linked quarter.
•Mortgage banking revenue and mortgage warehouse purchase fees were lower in first quarter 2023 compared to prior year due to decreased demand and lower volumes, as well as narrower margins resulting from rate increases over the year while the linked quarter change reflects an increase in mortgage banking activity. Mortgage banking revenue also reflected fair value gains on derivative hedging instruments of $75 thousand in first quarter 2023 compared to $320 thousand in first quarter 2022 and $291 thousand in fourth quarter 2022. The increase in service charge income compared to the prior year was primarily due to increases in account analysis charges on commercial treasury accounts.
•The increase in other noninterest income compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to a $318 thousand BOLI benefit claim.
3
Noninterest Expense
•Total noninterest expense increased $106.9 million compared to first quarter 2022 and $90.6 million compared to fourth quarter 2022. Total adjusted noninterest expense increased $2.5 million compared to first quarter 2022 and decreased $3.5 million compared to fourth quarter 2022. As previously explained, a non-recurring transaction of $100.0 million in litigation settlement expense was recognized during first quarter 2023. In addition, a $2.5 million contingency for legal and other fees related to the settlement was recorded to litigation settlement expense. Other non-recurring expenses recognized in first quarter 2023 include $1.2 million impairment on other real estate and asset impairment charges of $802 thousand related to the writedown of a branch that will be closed during second quarter 2023.
•The increase in adjusted noninterest expense in first quarter 2023 compared to the prior year is due primarily to increases of $1.6 million in occupancy expenses, $1.2 million in communications and technology expense, $1.2 million in FDIC assessment and $2.0 million in other noninterest expense, offset by a $3.2 million decrease in salaries and benefits expenses.
•The decrease in adjusted noninterest expense in first quarter 2023 compared to the linked quarter is due primarily to decreases of $3.8 million in salaries and benefits expenses, as adjusted, and $1.5 million in professional fees, offset by a $660 thousand increase in FDIC assessment.
•The decrease in salaries and benefits from the prior year is due primarily to $2.0 million in lower combined salaries, bonus, payroll taxes and 401(k) expenses due to the fourth quarter 2022 reduction-in-force and overall strategic efforts to reduce costs, as well as lower contract labor costs of $954 thousand, $1.0 million of mortgage commissions and incentives and $953 thousand in employee medical insurance. In addition, deferred salaries expense, which reduces overall expense, was $1.4 million lower compared to prior year quarter due to lower loan origination activity.
•The decrease in salaries and benefits expense from the linked quarter was primarily due to the reduction-in-force and targeted cost-reduction efforts discussed above, resulting in lower combined salaries, bonus and 401(k) expenses of $3.9 million offset by higher payroll taxes of $828 thousand, which are seasonally higher in the first quarter.
•The increase in occupancy expenses from the prior year was primarily due to higher depreciation and property tax expense due to the opening of the second phase of the Company's headquarters campus in second quarter 2022. The increase in communications and technology expense from prior year was due to higher data processing costs and software expense for the year over year period. The increase in FDIC assessment was due to an increase in the assessment rate charged by the FDIC. The increase in other noninterest expense compared to the prior year is primarily due to increases of $538 thousand in loan-related costs, $682 thousand in deposit-related costs, and increases in various other miscellaneous expense accounts.
•The decrease in professional fees compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to lower consulting fees and legal fees compared to the linked quarter. The FDIC assessment increased as explained above.
Provision for Credit Losses
•The Company recorded $90 thousand provision for credit losses for first quarter 2023, compared to $1.4 million credit provision for first quarter 2022 and $2.8 million provision for the linked quarter. Provision expense during a given period is generally dependent on changes in various factors, including economic conditions, credit quality and past due trends, as well as loan growth and charge-offs or specific credit loss allocations taken during the respective period.
•The allowance for credit losses on loans was $146.9 million, or 1.08% of total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, at March 31, 2023, compared to $146.3 million, or 1.22% at March 31, 2022 and compared to $148.8 million, or 1.09% at December 31, 2022. The dollar decrease from the linked quarter is primarily due to net charge-offs taken during the period. The percentage decrease from the prior year reflects changes in the economic outlook, specifically related to the COVID pandemic.
•The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures was $4.8 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $5.5 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2022. Changes in the allowance for unfunded commitments are generally driven by the remaining unfunded amount and the expected utilization rate of a given loan segment.
Income Taxes
•Federal income tax benefit of $11.3 million was recorded for the first quarter 2023, an effective rate of 23.1% compared to tax expense of $12.3 million and an effective rate of 19.5% for the prior year quarter and tax expense of $10.7 million and an effective rate of 20.7% for the linked quarter. The higher effective rate for first quarter 2023 is due to the Company being in a loss position as a result of the settlement of the Stanford litigation, while the lower effective rate in first quarter 2022 is due to a favorable permanent tax item relating to a donation of real property.

Any forward-looking statement made in

this filing or made by the Company in any report, filing, document or information incorporated by reference in this filing, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. The Company believes that these assumptions or bases have been chosen in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, the Company cautions you that assumptions as to future occurrences or results almost always vary from actual future occurrences or results, and the differences between assumptions and actual occurrences and results can be material. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this filing or incorporated by reference herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures and ratios include “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings,” “tangible book value,” “tangible book value per common share,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “adjusted net interest margin,” “return on tangible equity,” “adjusted return on average assets” and “adjusted return on average equity” and are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.
We believe that these measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however we acknowledge that our financial measures have a number of limitations relative to GAAP financial measures. Certain non-GAAP financial measures exclude items of income, expenditures, expenses, assets, or liabilities, including provisions for credit losses and the effect of goodwill, other intangible assets and income from accretion on acquired loans arising from purchase accounting adjustments, that we believe cause certain aspects of our results of operations or financial condition to be not indicative of our primary operating results. All of these items significantly impact our financial statements. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our adjustments are not necessarily consistent with the items that our peers may exclude from their results of operations and key financial measures and therefore may limit the comparability of similarly named financial measures and ratios. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.
A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statements tables.
