Overview of Results
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 totaled
The decrease in net income compared to March 31, 2021 was primarily the result of decreased margins and volumes on Direct to Consumer (DTC) residential mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in other noninterest expense.
As a result of declining mortgage margins, we have exited the saleable-to-investors mortgage business in favor of portfolio lending with servicing retained.
