Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $112.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. This represented a $10.4 million, or 10.20%, increase from the fourth quarter of 2021, and a $9.4 million, or 9.06%, increase from the first quarter of 2021. Total interest income was $114.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, which was $10.6 million, or 10.21%, higher than the fourth quarter of 2021 and $8.6 million, or 8.13%, higher than the same period last year. Total interest income and fees on loans for the first quarter of 2022 of $89.5 million increased $4.8 million, or 5.64%, from the fourth quarter of 2021, and decreased $2.3 million, or 2.54%, from the first quarter of 2021.   The decline in interest income and fees on loans year-over-year was primarily due to lower loan yields of 23 basis points, resulting from the low interest rate environment in 2021.   Total investment income of $23.5 million increased $5.7 million, or 31.94%, from the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased $10.4 million, or 79.36%, from the first quarter of 2021. Investment income growth resulted from higher levels of investment securities and higher yields. Interest expense increased $124,000 or 10.92%, from the prior quarter, due to growth in average interest bearing deposits of approximately $740 million. Although average interest-bearing deposits grew by approximately $1 billion, interest expense decreased $796,000, or 38.72%, compared to the first quarter of 2021.   The year-over-year decrease in interest expense resulted from lower cost of funds, which declined to 3 basis points for the first quarter of 2022 from 7 basis point for the first quarter of 2021.

Net Interest Margin
Our tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.90% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2.79% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 3.18% for the first quarter of 2021. The 11 basis point increase in our net interest margin was due to an 11 basis point increase in our earning asset yield, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in the earning asset yield was primarily due to an 18 basis point increase in security yields for the recent quarter and a quarter-over-quarter change in the composition of average earning assets, with investments growing from 32.87% to 36.19% of earnings assets, while funds held at the Federal Reserve declined from 13.7% to 10.4%. We deployed some of our excess liquidity at the end of 2021 into additional investment securities by purchasing approximately $1.17 billion in securities during the first quarter of 2022, with expected yields of approximately 2.37%.   Interest and fee income from Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans was approximately $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. After excluding discount accretion, nonaccrual interest income and the impact from PPP loans (“core loan yield”), our core loan yields increased from 4.08% in the fourth quarter of 2021 to 4.11% in the most recent quarter. The 28 basis point decline in net interest margin, compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily the result of a 32 basis point decline in earning asset yield. The decrease in earning asset yield was impacted by a change in asset mix with loan balances declining to 53.25% of earning assets on average for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 62.25% for the first quarter of 2021, as well as lower loan yields. The decline in interest rates since the start of the pandemic has had a negative impact on loan yields, which, after excluding discount accretion, nonaccrual interest income and the impact from PPP loans, our core loan yield declined by 12 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2021. Additionally, interest and fee income from PPP loans declined by $7.5 million from $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2021. Total cost of funds of 0.03% for the first quarter of 2022 was unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2021 and decreased from 0.07% for the year ago quarter. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, the 4 basis points decrease in cost of funds was the result of a 9 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing deposits, as well as noninterest-bearing deposits growing on average by $1.48 billion. On average, noninterest-bearing deposits were 61.48% of total deposits during the current quarter.

Earning Asset and Deposit Growth
On average, earning assets grew by $1.22 billion and by $2.68 billion, compared to the fourth and first quarters of 2021, respectively. Of the $1.22 billion quarter-over-quarter increase in earning assets, $930.9 million represented an increase in average investment securities, and average loans increased by $666.7 million which included approximately $775 million in loans acquired from Suncrest on January 7, 2022. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, average investments increased by $2.44 billion. Average loans increased by $230.2 million from the first quarter of 2021, which included a $721.7 million decrease in PPP loans on average. Noninterest-bearing deposits grew on average by $394.7 million, or 4.74%, from the fourth quarter of 2021, while interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements grew on average by $760 million during the first quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, total deposits and customer repurchase agreements grew on average by $2.63 billion, or 21.51%.

Provision for Credit Losses
The first quarter of 2022 included $2.5 million in provision for credit losses. There was no provision or recapture of provision for credit losses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2021. A $19.5 million recapture of provision for credit losses was recorded in the first quarter of 2021, resulting from improvements in our economic forecast of certain macroeconomic variables after reflecting $23.5 million in provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the severe economic forecast at that time as a result of the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the acquisition of Suncrest, we recorded a provision for credit loss of $4.9 million on January 7, 2022 for the acquired loans that were not considered purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”). At March 31, 2022, we recorded a recapture of provision of $2.4 million due to improvements in underlying loan characteristics and the net impact of changes in the economic forecast of certain macroeconomic variables from the end of 2021.

Noninterest income was $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $12.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $13.7 million for the first quarter of 2021.

Acquisition expense related to the merger of Suncrest was $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $153,000 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Safe Harbor  
Certain statements set forth herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “will likely result”, “aims”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “hopes”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “projects”, “seeks”, “should”, “will,” “strategy”, “possibility”, and variations of these words and similar expressions help to identify these forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company including, without limitation, plans, strategies and goals, and statements about the Company’s outlook regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, stockholder value creation, tax rates, and the impact of acquisitions we have made or may make. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company, and there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors in addition to those set forth below could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, workforce, operating platform and prospects remain uncertain. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways, including the potential adverse impact of loan modifications and payment deferrals implemented consistent with recent regulatory guidance.

General risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct business; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation/deflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations; the effect of acquisitions we have made or may make, including, without limitation, the failure to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions, and/or the failure to effectively integrate an acquisition target into our operations; the timely development of competitive new products and services and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws, and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking, securities, and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; the transition away from USD LIBOR and uncertainties regarding potential alternative reference rates, including SOFR; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters, including ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” commonly referenced as the CECL model, which has changed how we estimate credit losses and may further increase the required level of our allowance for credit losses in future periods; possible credit related impairments or declines in the fair value of securities held by us; possible impairment charges to goodwill; changes in consumer spending, borrowing, and savings habits; the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; periodic fluctuations in commercial or residential real estate prices or values; our ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; the possibility that we may reduce or discontinue the payments of dividends on our common stock; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; technological changes in banking and financial services; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism, and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; catastrophic events or natural disasters, including earthquakes, drought, climate change or extreme weather events that may affect our assets, communications or computer services, customers, employees or third party vendors; public health crises and pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and their effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, including on our credit quality and business operations, as well as the impact on general economic and financial market conditions; cybersecurity threats and the cost of defending against them, including the costs of compliance with potential legislation to combat cybersecurity at a state, national, or global level; our ability to recruit and retain key executives, board members and other employees, and changes in employment laws and regulations; unanticipated regulatory or legal proceedings; and our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required by law. Any statements about future operating results, such as those concerning accretion and dilution to the Company’s earnings or shareholders, are for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts, and actual results may differ.
