FISHERS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Internet Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INBK), the parent company of First Internet Bank (the “Bank”), announced today financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $11.2 million, or $1.14 diluted earnings per share. This compares to net income of $12.5 million, or $1.25 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2021, and net income of $10.5 million, or $1.05 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2021.

“We produced solid earnings and positive momentum to start 2022, driven by production in our franchise finance business, further success in driving lower cost deposits and continued excellent credit quality,” said David Becker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Pipelines in SBA and other key lines of business grew during the quarter, leaving us well-positioned to capitalize on loan growth opportunities for the year ahead.

“We also made significant progress with our Fintech initiatives, establishing our first Banking-as-a-Service deposit relationship during the quarter. We are engaged in a number of discussions with Fintechs to provide deposit and payments services as well as supplement our small business lending and consumer lending platforms, all of which we believe will drive stronger earnings and profitability while advancing our position as a premier technology-forward digital financial services provider.

“We are still waiting on certain regulatory approvals required to complete our acquisition of First Century and, as a result, are in discussions with First Century to extend our outside date to close the transaction. We hope that closing can occur next month,” Mr. Becker added.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $25.8 million, compared to $23.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $20.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. On a fully-taxable equivalent basis, net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $27.1 million, compared to $24.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $21.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of tax refund advance loan fees, adjusted net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the first quarter of 2022 was $24.2 million.

Total interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $36.0 million, an increase of 5.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of 8.3% compared to the first quarter of 2021. On a fully-taxable equivalent basis, total interest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $37.3 million, an increase of 5.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of 7.8% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increase in total interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by the recognition of $2.9 million of income from tax refund advance loans, partially offset by lower loan fees. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2022 increased to 3.58% from 3.34% in the linked quarter due primarily to the increase in loan yields and, to a lesser extent, a 25 bp increase in the average yield on securities. Compared to the linked quarter, average loan balances increased $29.0 million, or 1.0%, and the average balance of other earning assets increased $24.3 million, or 5.6%, while the average balance of securities decreased $28.9 million, or 4.3%.

Total interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $10.3 million, a decrease of 3.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of 19.4% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in total interest expense compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to a 3 bp decline in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

During the first quarter of 2022, the average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $108.0 million, or 51.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and the cost of these deposits increased 22 bps. The increase in the average balance and the cost of these deposits was due primarily to approximately $100 million in deposits with a contractual term of five years and a fixed rate of 1.15% pursuant to a new customer relationship. Additionally, the Company generated $50.0 million of new Banking-as-a-Service (“BaaS”) deposits during the quarter at a cost of 0.20%. Aside from these two new deposit relationships, the balance and cost of non-maturity deposits remained relatively stable compared to the linked quarter while the average balance and cost of certificates and brokered deposits decreased by $79.2 million and 6 bps, respectively.

Net interest margin (“NIM”) improved to 2.56% for the first quarter of 2022, up from 2.30% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2.04% for the first quarter of 2021. Fully-taxable equivalent NIM (“FTE NIM”) increased by 26 bps to 2.69% for the first quarter of 2022, up from 2.43% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and 2.18% for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of income from tax refund advance loans, adjusted FTE NIM was 2.41%, down 2 bps from the prior quarter. The slight decrease in adjusted FTE NIM compared to the linked quarter was driven primarily by a decrease in loan fees, partially offset by the effect of higher yields on securities and lower interest-bearing deposit costs.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $6.8 million, compared to $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $8.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was driven primarily by lower revenues from mortgage banking activities and a decrease in gain on sale of loans. Mortgage banking revenue totaled $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, down $0.9 million from the linked quarter due to a decrease in interest rate locks, sold loan volume and margins. Gain on sale of loans totaled $3.8 million for the quarter and included $3.5 million of gains on the sale of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) guaranteed loans, which increased compared to the linked quarter, and a $0.4 million gain on the sale of $14.4 million of single tenant lease financing loans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $18.8 million, compared to $17.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase of $1.8 million, or 10.8%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was due primarily to higher loan expenses, consulting and professional fees, premises and equipment and other expense, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in loan expenses was driven primarily by servicing fees related to tax refund advance loans. The increase in consulting and professional fees was due primarily to $0.9 million of nonrecurring consulting fees and $0.2 million of acquisition-related expenses, partially offset by lower third party loan review fees than what were incurred in the linked quarter. The increase in premises and equipment was primarily related to costs associated with the Company’s new corporate headquarters, partially offset by a $0.5 million IT termination fee incurred in the fourth quarter of 2021. The lower salaries and employee benefits expense was due mainly to lower incentive compensation in the Company’s small business lending and mortgage banking divisions and lower medical claims expense, partially offset by higher employee benefits costs due to annual resets.

Income Taxes

The Company reported an income tax expense of $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 and an effective tax rate of 13.8%, compared to an income tax expense of $2.0 million and an effective tax rate of 13.8% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and an income tax expense of $1.9 million and an effective tax rate of 15.1% for the first quarter of 2021.

Loans and Credit Quality

Total loans as of March 31, 2022 were $2.9 billion, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 0.2%, compared to December 31, 2021, and a decrease of $177.9 million, or 5.8%, compared to March 31, 2021. Total commercial loan balances were $2.3 billion as of March 31, 2022, a decrease of $23.8 million, or 1.0%, compared to December 31, 2021 and a decrease of $179.7 million, or 7.1%, compared to March 31, 2021. Compared to the linked quarter, the decline in commercial loan balances was driven primarily by net payoffs in healthcare finance, small business lending, owner-occupied commercial real estate and public finance loans, as well as the sale of single tenant lease financing loans discussed above. These items were partially offset by growth in franchise finance, construction, investor commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan balances.

Total consumer loan balances were $488.8 million as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $18.8 million, or 4.0%, compared to December 31, 2021 and an increase of $10.5 million, or 2.2%, compared to March 31, 2021. The increase compared to the linked quarter was due to higher balances in the residential mortgage, recreational vehicles and trailers loan portfolios as well as the remaining outstanding balance of tax refund advance loans originated during the first quarter of 2022.

Total delinquencies 30 days or more past due decreased to 0.03% of total loans as of March 31, 2022, down from 0.04% as of December 31, 2021 and down from 0.24% as of March 31, 2021. Overall credit quality remained strong as nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.25% as of March 31, 2022, compared to 0.26% at December 31, 2021 and 0.48% as of March 31, 2021.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.98% as of March 31, 2022, both in total and when excluding PPP loans, compared to 0.96% and 0.97%, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 and 1.00% and 1.02%, respectively, as of March 31, 2021.

Net charge-offs of $0.4 million were recognized during the first quarter of 2022, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 0.05%, compared to net recoveries to average loans of 0.01% for the fourth quarter of 2021 and net charge-offs to average loans of 0.02% for the first quarter of 2021. Excluding $1.5 million of net charge-offs related to tax refund advance loans, net recoveries of $1.1 million were recognized during the first quarter of 2022, resulting in net recoveries to average loans of 0.16%.

The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2022 was $0.8 million, compared to a benefit of $0.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and a provision of $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2021. The provision for the first quarter of 2022 was driven by the provision related to tax refund advance loans, which totaled $1.8 million, and, to a lesser extent, adjustments to qualitative factors that increased the overall allowance as a percentage of loans. This was partially offset by a $1.2 million recovery on a single tenant lease financing relationship that previously had been partially charged-off with the remaining balance transferred to other real estate owned. Excluding the provision related to tax refund advance loans, the Company recognized a benefit of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Capital

As of March 31, 2022, total shareholders’ equity was $374.7 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 1.5%, compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from a decline in the value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio resulting from the rapid rise in interest rates, as well as stock repurchase activity, during the quarter. This was partially offset by the net income earned during the quarter as well as an increase in the value of interest rate swaps classified as cash flow hedges. Book value per common share decreased to $38.69 as of March 31, 2022, down from $38.99 as of December 31, 2021 and up from $35.07 as of March 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share decreased to $38.21, down from $38.51 and up from $34.60, each as of the same reference dates.

In connection with its previously announced stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 103,703 shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2022 at an average price of $49.35 per share. Including shares repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company has repurchased a total of 203,703 shares at an average price of $46.90 per share under the program through March 31, 2022.
