Average Balances, Interest Rate, and Net Interest Income
The following tables present the daily average amount outstanding for each major category of interest earning assets, nonearning assets, interest bearing liabilities, and noninterest bearing liabilities. These tables also present an analysis of interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. All interest income is reported on a FTE basis using a federal income tax rate of 21%. Loans in nonaccrual status, for the purpose of the following computations, are included in the average loan balances.
Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expenses on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income, which includes loan fees, is influenced by changes in the balance and mix of assets and liabilities and market interest rates. We exert some control over these factors; however, FRB monetary policy and competition have a significant impact. For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to a FTE basis by adding the income tax savings from interest on tax exempt loans, and nontaxable investment securities, thus making period-to-period comparisons more meaningful.

Volume and Rate Variance Analysis
The following table sets forth the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For the purpose of this table, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows:
Volume - change in volume multiplied by the previous period’s rate.
Rate - change in the FTE rate multiplied by the previous period’s volume.
The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Residential Mortgage Operations
Residential mortgage operations includes net gains on sales of loans, net mortgage servicing rights income, and mortgage servicing fees.
Net gain on sales of loans represents the income earned on the sale of residential mortgage loans into the secondary market. Increases in interest rates and limited inventories have significantly driven down the volume of new originations and refinancing activity. Throughout 2022, the majority of residential mortgage loans originated were portfolio loans. As a result of selling fewer residential mortgage loans into the secondary market, we experienced reduced gains throughout the second half of 2022 and into 2023.
Changes in the fair value of MSR are highly correlated to changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds. As a significant portion of the serviced loan portfolio was originated at historically low interest rates, income recognized from the changes in the fair value of MSR have trended downward in recent quarters. While we experienced an increase in the first quarter of 2023, the overall direction of the fair value of MSR will likely continue to decline due to a reduction in the size of our servicing portfolio as a result of reduced levels of secondary market originations and prepayments. During the first quarter of 2023, the serviced loan portfolio declined by $11,000. We expect this trend to continue in future periods.
Mortgage servicing fees includes the fees earned for servicing loans that have been sold into the secondary market. The annual decrease in mortgage servicing fees is directly related to the size of the serviced portfolio. Due to reduced levels of secondary market originations and prepayments, the serviced loan portfolio declined by $52,624 since the first quarter of 2022. We expect mortgage servicing fees to trend modestly downward throughout 2023 due to decreased secondary market originations.
All Other Noninterest Income
Trust and investment services includes income earned from contracts with customers to manage assets for investment and/or to transact on their accounts through the wealth management and trust department. The increase in income during the first quarter of 2023 is a direct result of higher customer demand for annuity products. Trust services and wealth management fees are subject to market fluctuations and interest rate changes. We expect these fees to continue to increase throughout 2023.
ATM and debit card income represents fees earned on ATM and debit card transactions. We expect these fees to approximate current levels throughout 2023.
Service charges on deposit accounts includes fees earned from deposit customers for transaction-based charges, account maintenance and overdraft services. Service charges on deposit accounts are expected to approximate current levels throughout 2023.
Change in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance is expected to modestly increase throughout 2023.
Other includes miscellaneous other income items, none of which are individually significant.

Compensation and benefits includes salaries, commissions and incentives, employee benefits, and payroll taxes. Compensation and benefits increased in the first quarter of 2023 due to an increase in the size of the organization, merit increases, and market based adjustments. While there continues to be meaningful wage pressure, we expect a modest increase in overall compensation and benefits due to merit increases and market based adjustments. These increases will be partially offset by decreases in commissions as loan originations in the first quarter of 2023 declined from elevated levels experienced in 2022. This trend is expected to continue throughout 2023.
Professional services include expenses relating to third-party professional services. These services include, but are not limited to, regulatory, auditing, consulting, and legal. The decline in these expenses during the fourth quarter of 2022 is primarily due to a decrease in audit fees. Professional services expenses are expected to increase slightly in 2023.
Furniture and equipment and occupancy expenses primarily consist of depreciation, repairs and maintenance, certain service contracts, and other related items. These expenses are expected to approximate current levels in 2023.
Data processing primarily includes the expenses relating to our core data processor. These expenses trended downward during the third and fourth quarters of 2022 due to receipt of renewal incentives from our core data processor. Data processing expenses are expected to normalize in 2023 as these renewal incentives wind down.
Advertising and promotional includes media costs and any donations or sponsorships. The annual increase in such expenses is a result of enhanced marketing efforts to attract new and expand existing customer loan and deposit account relationships. Total advertising and promotional expenses are expected to moderately increase during 2023.
Loan and collection includes expenses related to the origination and collection of loans. These expenses are expected to decline in future periods as loan growth is expected to moderate throughout 2023.
FDIC insurance premiums typically fluctuate each period based on the size of the balance sheet, capital position and overall risk profile. FDIC insurance premiums are expected to increase in 2023 primarily due to the FDIC increasing its assessment rate for all insured institutions effective January 1, 2023.
ATM and debit card expenses fluctuate based on customer and non-customer utilization of ATMs and customer debit card volumes. The increase in ATM and debit card expenses during the fourth quarter of 2022 is due to an increase in customer disputes resulting from fraudulent debit card activity. We expect these fees to approximate current levels in 2023.
Telephone and communication includes expenses relating to our communication systems. These expenses are expected to approximate current levels during 2023.
Amortization of core deposit intangibles relates to the core deposits acquired from Community Bancorp, Inc. on December 31, 2016 and FSB on December 1, 2021. These core deposit intangibles are being amortized using an accelerated sum-of-years-digits method over their estimated useful lives of seven years.
Other acquisition related expenses includes expenses incurred during the first half of 2022 related to the acquisition of FSB. We do not anticipate recording additional acquisition expenses in future periods.
Other general and administrative includes miscellaneous other expense items, none of which are individually significant. Other general and administrative expenses are expected to increase slightly in future periods.

The increase in cash and cash equivalents during the first quarter of 2023 was due to our utilization of wholesale funding (see “Wholesale funding sources” below). The increase in FHLB borrowing availability during the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to approval from the FHLB to allow us to pledge eligible commercial real estate loans. During the first quarter of 2023, our FHLB borrowing availability declined due to our utilization of additional FHLB advances. Due to market conditions in the Banking Industry during the first quarter of 2023, Zions Correspondent Banking has limited Fed Funds line advances to secured arrangements only and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As such, our unsecured lines of credit declined by $6,500 during the first quarter of 2023.
In addition to the above liquidity sources, we also have the option of utilizing wholesale funding sources, such as brokered NOW accounts, brokered time deposits and internet time deposits. Although wholesale funding sources are typically more expensive than core deposits and other liquidity sources, they are an integral part of our funding.

Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, at fair value
Loans HFS represent the fair value of loans that have been committed to be sold to the secondary market, but have not yet been delivered. The level of loans HFS fluctuates based on loan demand as well as the timing of loan deliveries to the secondary market. Overall, our level of loans HFS has declined year-over-year as a result of increases in market interest rates and lack of residential inventory.
Loans and allowance for credit losses
As outlined in the following tables, our loan portfolio has grown substantially throughout the past 12 months, primarily in the commercial real estate and residential mortgage segments. However, due to current market conditions, we expect loan demand to decline during 2023. Specifically, our commercial pipeline has declined significantly since December 31, 2022, and the requests that are being presented are lower dollar balances and often carry an SBA guarantee. Our allowance for credit losses increased $2,000 during the first quarter of 2023 as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” on January 1, 2023. This was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment, net of tax, from retained earnings.

Loan concentration analysis
As a result of the current economic conditions, there continues to be a heightened focus in the financial industry for non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, most specifically retail and office space industries. We continue to monitor various industries that have been impacted by the pandemic but we will now shift attention to new concerns associated with inflation, supply chain disruption, rising interest rates, and office space usage associated with an increased remote workforce. The overall non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio has remained solid, and performance has not been lacking. Performance is based on debt service coverage ratio, loan to value ratio and payment trends. As of March 31, 2023, delinquencies in the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio continue to remain minimal, as only one loan was included in our 30-89 days past due category in the office pool for $180. We expect loan demand in the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio to experience insignificant growth, if any, in future periods.
The net lease pool is one of the largest growth pools in the non-owner occupied commercial real estate portfolio and continues to remain strong. Risk associated within this pool is minimal as these are national or regional tenants that are well vetted during origination and annually thereafter. Risk is further minimized in this pool as locations are spread out nationally.
Due to the ongoing pressures on the office sector due to remote work capabilities and less required office space, we continue to monitor the office pool more closely for potential deterioration. It is not expected that there will be much, if any, impact on portfolio performance in this pool in the near future due to existing lease terms, tenant mix, office size, and strong underwriting at origination.
Below is a description of each industry pool within the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio:
Net lease: Loans in this pool represent national credit tenants (or franchisees of the same) or large regional tenants with excellent credit. These loans are typically single tenant net lease credits with strong debt service coverage ratios and lease terms that extend beyond the maturity of the loan.
Retail strip centers: Loans in this pool represent loans collateralized by retail strip centers. The tenant base within this pool consists primarily of retail space whose average lease periods run between one and ten years. Larger strip centers are usually anchored by a national or regional tenant. Guarantors in this category typically have large liquid reserves.
Office: Loans in this pool represent loans collateralized by non-owner occupied office buildings. The tenant base includes legal and other professional services whose average lease periods run from three to fifteen years.
Special use: Loans in this pool represent loans collateralized by special use buildings, which include hotels, motels, assisted living and nursing homes that are not classified as construction or SBA loans.
Medical office: Loans in this pool represent loans collateralized by non-owner occupied medical office buildings. The tenant base includes medical services whose average lease periods run from three to fifteen years.
Industrial: Loans in pool represent investment properties used for manufacturing and production.
Self storage: Loans in this pool represent self storage buildings. Loan terms are generally five years or less and the lease terms of the units are typically on a month-to-month basis.
Mixed use: Loans in this pool represent loans collateralized by mixed use real estate. The tenant base within this pool consists primarily of office-retail, office-residential or retail-residential space. The properties are most often purchased by individuals for investment purposes.
Retail: Loans in this pool represent loans collateralized by single tenant retail buildings whose average lease periods run over five years.

Beginning in March 2022, the FOMC began raising its target federal funds rate in order to combat rising inflation. Since then, the FOMC has raised its target federal funds rate nine times, from a target range of 0.00-0.25% to 4.75-5.00%, or 475 basis points. This rapid increase in interest rates has led to significant competition amongst financial institutions. Due to the expectation that interest rates may continue to rise, customers have been unwilling to lock in long-term funds, leading to a shift in demand to higher-yielding non-maturity deposit accounts. While overall market liquidity continues to tighten and be extremely competitive, we have strategic initiatives in place to grow core market deposits in 2023.

We utilize a mix of borrowed funds and organic deposit growth to fund loan demand. The increase in Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings throughout 2022 and into 2023 was the result of the highly competitive deposit landscape and the growth of our loan portfolio, which grew $318,405, or 27.96%, net of PPP loans, since the first quarter of 2022 (see “Wholesale funding sources” below).
Wholesale funding sources
Although we have been successful at growing market deposits, we utilize wholesale funding sources when necessary to fill gaps when asset growth outpaces deposit growth. Our wholesale funding sources include Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, correspondent Fed Funds lines and brokered deposits. Although wholesale funding sources are typically more expensive than core deposits, they are an integral part of our funding.
The following tables outline the composition and changes in wholesale funding sources as of:

As noted above, the increased competition for deposits, coupled with strong loan growth has led to an increased utilization of wholesale funding sources. During the first quarter of 2023, we had a $50,000 brokered time deposit mature. We replaced this with additional FHLB borrowings as well as non-maturity brokered deposits.
Accrued interest payable and other liabilities
Accrued interest payable and other liabilities includes accrued interest payable, federal income taxes payable, deferred federal income taxes payable, and all other liabilities (none of which are individually significant).
Total shareholders’ equity
We are considered a “well-capitalized” institution, as our capital ratios exceed the minimum designated standards necessary in accordance with Basel III guidelines. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank’s total capital ratio was 11.27%, tier 1 capital ratio was 10.20%, and tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.62%. The minimum requirements to be considered well-capitalized are a total capital ratio of 10.00%, tier 1 capital ratio of 8.00%, and tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%. While we continue to be considered well-capitalized, we are focused on enhancing our capital ratios through asset growth moderation strategies.
