  Second quarter 2022 average interest-earning assets of $58.7 billion were essentially unchanged from $58.7 billion in the first quarter of 2022.

• Total Deposits – Total deposits were $54.3 billion as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.6 billion, or 4% annualized, from $54.9 billion as of March 31, 2022. Year-over-year, deposits grew $1.8 billion, or 3%, from $52.6 billion as of June 30, 2021.
  
  Second quarter 2022 average deposits of $54.1 billion grew $104.5 million, or 1% linked quarter annualized. Quarter-over-quarter, average noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $23.9 billion grew $454.7 million, or 8% linked quarter annualized. Average noninterest-bearing deposits made up 44% of average total deposits in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 43% in the first quarter of 2022 and 39% in the second quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of 2022, average time deposits grew $138.7 million, or 7% linked quarter annualized, and average money market accounts decreased $593.4 million, or 18% linked quarter annualized.
  

• Strong Capital Levels – As of June 30, 2022, stockholders’ equity was $5.6 billion, or $39.81 per common share, and tangible equity² per common share was $36.44. As of June 30, 2022, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio² was 8.29%, the common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio was 12.0%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 13.2%. Quarter-over-quarter, stockholders’ equity declined by 2%, or $94.0 million, primarily reflecting a negative change in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $205.7 million, share repurchases of $100.0 million, and $57.4 million in common dividends declared, partially offset by $258.3 million in net income. The negative change in AOCI was primarily due to increased unrealized losses in available-for-sale debt securities. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock.

OPERATING RESULTS

Second Quarter Earnings – Second quarter 2022 net income was $258.3 million, an increase of 9%, or 35% annualized, from $237.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of 15% from $224.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. Second quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share were $1.81, an increase of 9%, or 38% annualized, from $1.66 per diluted share for the first quarter 2022, and an increase of 15% from $1.57 per diluted share for the year-ago quarter.

Second Quarter 2022 Compared to First Quarter 2022

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Record net interest income (“NII”) totaled $473.0 million, an increase of 14%, or 55% annualized, from $415.6 million. Net interest margin (“NIM”) of 3.23% expanded by 36 basis points from 2.87%.

• NII growth and NIM expansion were driven by strong loan growth and expanding earning asset yields. Average loan growth during the second quarter drove a favorable shift in the asset mix into higher interest earning assets. Average loans made up 76% of average interest-earning assets in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 72% in the first quarter of 2022.
• The average loan yield was 3.95%, up 32 basis points from the first quarter. The average interest-earning asset yield was 3.42%, up 43 basis points from the first quarter.
• The average cost of funds was 0.20%, up eight basis points from the first quarter. The average cost of deposits was 0.17%, up seven basis points, and the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.30%, up 13 basis points from the first quarter.
• The changes in yields and rates reflected rising benchmark interest rates during the year.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $78.4 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 2%, from $79.7 million in the first quarter. Fee income and net gains on sales of loans were $64.8 million, essentially unchanged from $65.0 million in the first quarter.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $196.9 million in the second quarter, compared with $189.5 million in the first quarter. Second quarter noninterest expense consisted of $181.4 million of adjusted noninterest expense³, $15.0 million in amortization of tax credit and other investments, and $0.5 million in amortization of core deposit intangibles.

• Adjusted noninterest expense of $181.4 million increased 4%, or 15% annualized, from $175.0 million in the first quarter.
• Amortization of tax credit and other investments totaled $15.0 million in the second quarter, compared with $13.9 million in the first quarter. Quarter-over-quarter variability in the amortization of tax credits and other investments partially reflects the impact of investments that close in a given period.
• The adjusted efficiency ratio³ was 32.9% in the second quarter, compared with 35.3% in the first quarter.

TAX RELATED ITEMS

Second quarter 2022 income tax expense was $82.7 million compared with income tax expense of $60.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The year-to-date effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 was 22.4%. The Company expects the full-year 2022 effective tax rate to be approximately 21%, including the impact of tax credit investments expected in the second half of the year.

ASSET QUALITY

The asset quality of the loan portfolio continues to be strong.

• The nonperforming asset (“NPA”) ratio improved by one basis point quarter-over-quarter and NPAs decreased by 5%. As of June 30, 2022, NPAs were $89.9 million, or 0.14% of total assets, compared with $94.4 million, or 0.15% of total assets, as of March 31, 2022.
• The classified loan ratio improved by six basis points quarter-over-quarter and classified loans were essentially unchanged. As of June 30, 2022, classified loans were $432.4 million, or 0.93% of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”), compared with $430.6 million, or 0.99% of loans HFI as of March 31, 2022. Special mention loans were $590.2 million, or 1.27% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2022, compared with $402.7 million, or 0.93% of loans HFI, as of March 31, 2022.
• Second quarter 2022 net recoveries were $6.6 million, or annualized 0.06% of average loans HFI, compared with net charge-offs of $8.3 million, or annualized 0.08% of average loans HFI, for the first quarter of 2022. The second quarter gross recoveries of $7.7 million were largely driven by C&I loan recoveries.
• The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) totaled $563.3 million, or 1.21% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2022, compared with $545.7 million, or 1.25% of loans HFI, as of March 31, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter change in the ALLL and the ALLL coverage ratio largely reflects the mix of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2022, as well as loan growth during the second quarter.
• The provision for credit losses was $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2022.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

Table 12
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles. Management believes that the measures and ratios presented below provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods.
