FOURTH QUARTER 2023 COMPARED TO THIRD QUARTER 2023

For the fourth quarter of 2023, net income available to common stockholders was $15.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to $57.4 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023.

Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $19.0 million, compared to $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2023. The $19.0 million provision for credit losses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 resulted primarily from increases in criticized and non-accrual loans, as well as $13.8 million in net charge-offs.

Net interest income was $214.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $232.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in loans held for investment (“LHI”), mortgage finance yields, as well as increases in funding costs and average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 2.93%, a decrease of 20 basis points from the third quarter of 2023. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields increased 7 basis points from the third quarter of 2023 and LHI, mortgage finance yields decreased 152 basis points from the third quarter of 2023. Total cost of deposits was 2.82% for the fourth quarter of 2023, a 20 basis point increase from the third quarter of 2023.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $15.7 million, or 34%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a decrease in investment banking and trading income.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased $21.5 million, or 12%, compared to the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in FDIC insurance assessment expense, which included $19.9 million in special assessment expense recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.

FOURTH QUARTER 2023 COMPARED TO FOURTH QUARTER 2022

Net income available to common stockholders was $15.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $212.9 million, or $4.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The fourth quarter of 2023 included a $19.0 million provision for credit losses, reflecting increases in criticized and non-accrual loans and net charge-offs of $13.8 million, compared to a $34.0 million provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net interest income decreased to $214.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $247.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in funding costs and a decrease in average earning assets, partially offset by an increase in yields on average earning assets. Net interest margin decreased 33 basis points to 2.93% for the fourth quarter of 2023, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. LHI, excluding mortgage finance, yields increased 139 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and LHI, mortgage finance yields decreased 293 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2022. Total cost of deposits increased 129 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $246.5 million, or 89%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a non-recurring $248.5 million gain related to the sale of our premium finance subsidiary recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $11.7 million, or 5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreases in occupancy, marketing, legal and professional and other expenses, partially offset by an increase in FDIC insurance assessment expense, resulting from the FDIC special assessment described above. The fourth quarter of 2022 included $13.0 million in legal and professional expense related to the sale of our premium finance subsidiary, $9.8 million in restructuring reserves, primarily related to occupancy expense, and $8.0 million in charitable contributions recorded in other non-interest expense.
