  • Investment securities grew by $987 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, while loans and operating leases, excluding PPP loans, declined by $69 million. Excess liquidity was deployed into the investment portfolio during the quarter as loan growth continued to lag growth in deposits.

Excludes government insured residential loans.

In the table above, "currently under short-term deferral" refers to loans subject to a 90-day payment deferral at June 30, 2021 and "CARES Act modification" refers to loans subject to longer-term modifications that, were it not for the provisions of the CARES Act, would likely have been reported as TDRs. Non-performing loans may include some loans that have been modified under the CARES Act.

Non-performing loans increased to $292.7 million or 1.28% of total loans at June 30, 2021, from $233.6 million or 1.00% of total loans at March 31, 2021 and $244.5 million or 1.02% of total loans at December 31, 2020. The increase in non-performing loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to one $69 million commercial and industrial relationship. Non-performing loans in the majority of portfolio sub-segments declined during the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Non-performing loans included $47.7 million, $48.2 million and $51.3 million of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans on non-accrual status, representing 0.21%, 0.21% and 0.22% of total loans at June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

______________

(1)

ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL, which carry nominal or no reserves, was 0.90%, 1.13% and 1.26% at June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

(2)

Annualized for the periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2021.

The ACL at June 30, 2021 represents management's estimate of lifetime expected credit losses given our assessment of historical data, current conditions and a reasonable and supportable economic forecast as of the balance sheet date. The estimate was informed by Moody's economic scenarios published in June 2021, economic information provided by additional sources, data reflecting the impact of recent events on individual borrowers and other relevant information. The decline in the ACL and in ACL coverage ratios from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 related primarily to the recovery of credit losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and to a lesser extent, charge-offs.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $(27.5) million, which included a recovery of $(27.7) million related to funded loans, partially offset by an immaterial provision related to unfunded loan commitments. The recovery of provision for credit losses was largely driven by improvements in forecasted economic conditions, the reduction in criticized and classified loans and a reduction in certain qualitative loss factors. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in the ACL on non-performing loans, primarily an increase of $27.2 million in the reserve related to the commercial relationship discussed above.

Net interest income

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased to $198.3 million from $196.2 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2021 and $190.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Interest income decreased by $3.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to the immediately preceding quarter, and by $26.0 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Interest expense decreased by $5.7 million compared to the immediately preceding quarter and by $34.0 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Decreases in interest income resulted from the impact on portfolio yields of declines in market interest rates in early 2020 including the impact of repayment of assets originated in a higher rate environment and origination of assets at lower prevailing rates, as well as a decline in average loans. Declines in interest expense also reflected the impact of decreases in market interest rates, our strategy focused on lowering the cost of deposits and improving the deposit mix and declines in average interest bearing liabilities.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, decreased by 0.02% to 2.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from 2.39% for both the immediately preceding quarter ended March 31, 2021 and the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was negatively impacted by excess liquidity, reflected in higher levels of cash as well as deployment of liquidity into the investment portfolio as loan production lagged deposit growth. Offsetting factors impacting the net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 included:

  • The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from 0.45% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This decline reflected continued initiatives taken to lower rates paid on deposits including the re-pricing of term deposits.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities decreased to 1.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 from 1.73% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This decrease resulted from the impact of purchases of lower-yielding securities coupled with amortization, maturities and prepayment of securities purchased in a higher rate environment. Accounting adjustments related to faster prepayment speeds of securities purchased at a premium negatively impacted the yield on investment securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 by approximately 0.10%.
  • The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased to 3.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from 3.58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Accelerated amortization of origination fees on PPP loans that were partially or fully forgiven during the quarter impacted the yield on loans by approximately 0.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to 0.06% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Factoring out the impact of accelerated amortization of PPP origination fees, the yield on loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 decreased by 0.04% compared to the immediately preceding quarter.
  • The increase in average non-interest bearing demand deposits as a percentage of average total deposits also positively impacted the cost of total deposits and the net interest margin.

Capital Actions

On July 21, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $150 million in shares of its outstanding common stock. This authorization is in addition to $37.7 million in remaining authorization under a previously announced share repurchase program. Any repurchases under the program will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws from time to time in open market or private transactions. The extent to which the Company repurchases shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, the Company’s capital position and amount of retained earnings, regulatory requirements and other considerations. No time limit was set for the completion of the share repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued without prior notice at any time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

PPNR is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes this measure is relevant to understanding the performance of the Company attributable to elements other than the provision for credit losses and the ability of the Company to generate earnings sufficient to cover estimated credit losses, particularly in view of the volatility of the provision for credit losses resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This measure also provides a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions since it is commonly employed and is a measure frequently cited by investors and analysts. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measurement of PPNR to the comparable GAAP financial measurement of income before income taxes for the periods indicated (in thousands):
