Balance Sheet

The Company had total assets of $6.9 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 18.7%, from June 30, 2021, and an increase of $240.1 million, or 3.6% from March 31, 2022.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $1.3 billion at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $377.4 million, or 22.0%, from June 30, 2021 and a decrease of $72.1 million, or 5.1%, from March 31, 2022. The decrease from June 30, 2021, reflected the $1.4 billion deployment into loans and securities offset by the strong growth in deposits as well as the cash received from the issuance of common stock during the third quarter of 2021.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $4.4 billion, an increase of $925.7 million, or 26.8%, from June 30, 2021, and an increase of $253.7 million, or 6.2% from March 31, 2022. Loan production was $512.8 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $265.4 million for the prior year period and $488.9 million for the prior linked quarter. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2021, was due primarily to an increase of $735.8 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied) and $180.0 million in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans. The increase in total loans from March 31, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $140.1 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $57.1 million in C&I loans.

Total securities were $998.5 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of 82.1% from June 30, 2021, and 2.3% from March 31, 2022, due primarily to the deployment of excess liquidity.

Total deposits were $6.2 billion, an increase of $890.1 million, or 16.8% from June 30, 2021, and an increase of $239.0 million or 4.0% from March 31, 2022. The increase in deposits from June 30, 2021, was primarily due to increases in digital currency and retail deposit customers. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits were 56.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2022, compared to 52.8% at June 30, 2021 and 53.5% at March 31, 2022.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $34.8 million, an increase of $32.9 million, from June 30, 2021, and $11.0 million from March 31, 2022. The increases were due to the prevailing interest rate environment which increased the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by increases in unrealized gains on cash flow hedges.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $477.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank and an available line of credit of $97.8 million under the Federal Reserve Bank of New York discount window. The Company and the Bank each met all the requirements to be considered “Well-Capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. Total non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were 337.4% of total risk-based capital at June 30, 2022, compared to 442.6% and 350.9% at June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $55.3 million, an increase of $8.7 million from the prior linked quarter and $18.3 million from the prior year period. This was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans and securities, the increase in prevailing interest rates and the shift in asset mix to higher-yielding interest earning assets. The average balance of loans increased $330.0 million and $897.3 million compared to the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The average balance of securities increased $16.7 million and $539.7 million compared to the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The average yield on loans increased 9 basis points and 22 basis points compared to the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The average yield on overnight deposits increased 66 basis points and 74 basis points compared to the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.27% compared to 2.71% and 2.68% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 56 basis point increase in net interest margin from the prior linked quarter was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans, the increase in yields for loans and overnight deposits and the subordinated debt redemption in the first quarter of 2022. The 59 basis point increase from the prior year period was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans and securities, the increase in yields for loans and overnight deposits, and the subordinated debt redemption in the first quarter of 2022.

Total cost of funds for the second quarter of 2022 was 25 basis points compared to 28 basis points and 32 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 3 basis point decrease from the prior linked quarter was driven by the subordinated debt redemption in the first quarter of 2022. The 7 basis point decline from the prior year period was driven by the shift toward non-interest bearing deposits as well as a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior linked quarter. Global Payments Group non transactional revenues were elevated in the prior linked quarter. Non-interest income increased $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the prior year period primarily driven by the increase in Global Payments Group client transaction volumes, offset by the $0.6 million decrease in the gain on the sale of securities.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $26.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.7 million and $4.6 million from the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. Non-interest expense increased from the prior linked quarter primarily due to charitable contributions and qualified CRA grants. Non-interest expense increased from the prior year period primarily due to an increase in full-time employees, and general expense growth in line with revenue growth and volume expansion in the global payments business.

Income Tax Expense

The estimated effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 31.0% compared to 27.0% and 31.8% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The effective tax rate increased from the prior linked quarter primarily due to discrete tax items recognized during the first quarter of 2022.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains strong as there were no charge-offs during the second quarter of 2022 and non-performing loans to total loans was 0.00% at June 30, 2022 compared to 0.16% at June 30, 2021.

The Company recorded a provision of $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $3.4 million and $1.9 million for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The provision was in line with loan growth during the respective periods.
