In announcing these results, Chief Executive Officer Tim Laney shared, “During the second quarter, we delivered quarterly earnings of $0.68 per diluted share and continued to strengthen our balance sheet. We maintained a strong net interest margin of 3.76% and are prepared to take action should the Federal Reserve Bank lower interest rates this year. We are leveraging diverse revenue streams across our franchise, resulting in an increase in year-to-date fee income of 11.4% over the prior period. Our teams generated strong balance sheet growth by delivering 8.1% annualized net loan growth and 7.9% annualized average deposit growth during the second quarter.”

Mr. Laney added, “We made meaningful progress resolving our non-performing loans. We continue to adhere to sound banking practices by maintaining a prudent approach to extending credit along with a granular and diversified loan portfolio. We believe our strong Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.41%, ample liquidity position, and diversified funding sources provide strength in any economic environment and provide optionality that we will leverage for future growth.”

Second Quarter 2024 Results
(All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2024, except as noted)

Net income totaled $26.1 million or $0.68 per diluted share, compared to $31.4 million or $0.82 per diluted share, a decrease from the prior quarter largely due to impairment of venture capital investments and increased provision expense driven by loan growth. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $36.2 million, compared to $40.6 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 1.17%, compared to 1.39%, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled 12.44%, compared to 15.14%.

Net Interest Income
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $85.3 million, compared to $85.7 million in the prior quarter. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin was 3.76%, narrowing two basis points as a four basis point increase in earning asset yields was more than offset by a seven basis point increase in the cost of funds.

Loans
Total loans increased $153.1 million, or 8.1% annualized, to $7.7 billion at June 30, 2024. We generated quarterly loan fundings totaling $505.2 million, led by commercial loan fundings of $384.4 million. The average interest rate on the second quarter’s loan originations was 8.4%.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded $2.8 million of provision expense for credit losses, compared to no provision expense in the prior quarter. The current quarter’s provision expense was driven by loan growth and higher reserve requirements from changes in the CECL model’s underlying economic forecast. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.22% of average total loans, compared to 0.00% in the prior quarter, driven by one previously reserved credit that was resolved during the quarter. Non-performing loans decreased 13 basis points to 0.34% of total loans at June 30, 2024, and non-performing assets decreased 17 basis points to 0.36% of total loans and OREO at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans totaled 1.25% at June 30, 2024, compared to 1.29% in the prior quarter.

Deposits
Average total deposits increased $160.9 million, or 7.9% annualized, to $8.4 billion during the second quarter 2024. The loan to deposit ratio totaled 92.2% at June 30, 2024. Average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) increased $135.6 million to $7.4 billion. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.8% and 88.3% at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $14.0 million, compared to $17.7 million during the first quarter. Included in the second quarter was $3.9 million of impairment related to venture capital investments classified as non-marketable securities. Included in the prior quarter was a $0.6 million gain from the sale of a banking center building. Excluding these items, non-interest income increased $0.9 million driven by our diversified sources of fee revenue including increases in SBA loan income, trust income, Cambr income and mortgage banking income.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $0.2 million to $63.1 million during the second quarter. Salaries and benefits increased $0.4 million and occupancy and equipment increased $0.2 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in other non-interest expense of $0.4 million. The efficiency ratio totaled 64.6% for the second quarter, compared to 61.8% for the first quarter. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio, excluding other intangible assets amortization, totaled 61.5% for the second quarter, compared to 58.8%.

Income tax expense totaled $5.6 million, compared to $7.5 million in the prior quarter, due to lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 17.7%, compared to 19.3% for the first quarter.

Capital
Capital ratios continue to be strong and in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 10.20%, and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio totaled 12.41% at June 30, 2024. Shareholders’ equity totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2024, increasing $15.8 million, largely due to $15.4 million of growth in retained earnings.

Common book value per share increased $0.34 to $32.92 at June 30, 2024. Tangible common book value per share increased $0.42 to $23.74 as this quarter’s earnings outpaced the quarterly dividend.

Year-Over-Year Review
(All comparisons refer to the first six months of 2023, except as noted)

Net income totaled $57.5 million, or $1.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $72.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2023. The decrease over the same period prior year was largely driven by lower net interest income, due to an increase in cost of funds outpacing the increase in interest income. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in our non-interest income discussed below. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $76.8 million, compared to $96.7 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 1.28%, compared to 1.63%, and the return on average tangible common equity was 13.77%, compared to 19.05%.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $171.0 million, compared to $187.5 million. Average earning assets increased $171.4 million, including average loan growth of $313.0 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in average investment securities of $87.9 million. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin narrowed 45 basis points to 3.77%, as the increase in earning asset yields was more than offset by an increase in the cost of funds. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $654.4 million due to higher deposit balances, and the cost of funds totaled 2.29%, compared to 1.20% in the same period prior year.

Loans outstanding totaled $7.7 billion, increasing $307.8 million or 4.2%. New loan fundings over the trailing twelve months totaled $1.5 billion, led by commercial loan fundings of $1.0 billion.  

The Company recorded $2.8 million of provision expense for credit losses for the first six months of 2024, compared to provision expense of $2.6 million in the same period prior year. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.11% of average total loans during the first six months of 2024, compared to 0.02% of average total loans during the first six months of 2023. Non-performing loans decreased 11 basis points to 0.34% of total loans at June 30, 2024, and non-performing assets decreased 14 basis points to 0.36% of total loans and OREO at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans totaled 1.25% at June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Average total deposits increased $469.1 million or 6.0% to $8.3 billion, and average transaction deposits increased $418.4 million or 6.1%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.8%, compared to 87.9% at June 30, 2023.

Non-interest income totaled $31.7 million, an increase of $3.2 million or 11.4%, driven by our diversified sources of fee revenue. Other non-interest income increased $4.3 million and included increases in SBA loan income, trust income, Cambr income and swap fee income. Mortgage banking income decreased $1.0 million as the sustained high-interest rate environment has lowered mortgage volume.

Non-interest expense totaled $125.9 million, an increase of $6.6 million or 5.6%, largely due to ongoing investments in technology. Salaries and benefits increased $5.2 million, occupancy and equipment increased $1.9 million and data processing increased $1.5 million. Other intangible assets amortization increased $0.6 million due to our Cambr acquisition in April of 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in professional fees.

Income tax expense totaled $13.1 million, a decrease of $5.3 million from the same period prior year, driven by lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 18.6% for the first six months of 2024, compared to 20.2%.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common book value per share,” “tangible common book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax,” “tangible common book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “non-interest expense excluding other intangible assets amortization,” “efficiency ratio excluding other intangible assets amortization,” “net income excluding the impact of other intangible assets amortization expense, after tax,” “pre-provision net revenue,” and “fully taxable equivalent” metrics, are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and 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 or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. 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.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. 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 non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
