___________________________

(1)		ACL to total loans, excluding government insured residential loans, PPP loans and MWL, which carry nominal or no reserves, was 0.60%, 0.61%, and 0.62% at September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
(2)		Annualized for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The ACL at September 30, 2022 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. For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.7 million, including $2.8 million related to funded loans. Offsetting factors impacting the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 included an increase related to the updated economic forecast, increases in specific reserves, loan growth and a $5 million provision related to the potential impact of Hurricane Ian, partially offset by decreases in certain qualitative factors and the impact of improving borrower financial results.

The following table summarizes the activity in the ACL for the periods indicated (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $235.8 million compared to $225.4 million for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2022 and $195.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Interest income increased by $59.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the immediately preceding quarter while interest expense increased by $48.6 million.

The Company’s net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, increased by 0.13% to 2.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 2.63% for the immediately preceding quarter ended June 30, 2022. Factors impacting the net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 included:

• The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased to 3.12% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 2.12% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This increase resulted from the reset of coupon rates on variable rate securities and purchases of higher-yielding securities.
• The tax-equivalent yield on loans increased to 4.11% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 3.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The resetting of variable rate loans to higher coupon rates and origination of new loans at higher rates contributed to the increase.
• The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits increased to 1.14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 0.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, primarily in response to the rising interest rate environment. Growth in time deposits as a percentage of interest bearing deposits also contributed to this increase, as we implemented a strategy to extend the term of interest bearing deposits.
• The average rate paid on FHLB advances increased to 2.25% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, from 1.07% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, primarily in response to the rising interest rate environment.

Non-interest income and Non-interest expense

Non-interest income totaled $23.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $13.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and $25.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

• Gain (loss) on investment securities was a net gain of $0.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to a net loss of $(8.4) million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and a net loss of $(0.7) million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to a $9.3 million decrease in the fair value of certain preferred stock investments.

Non-interest expense increased by $10.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022. As expected, an increasing trend was reflected in the compensation and technology categories as we continue to invest in people and technology to support future growth.
