Net interest income

• Net interest income totaled $210.4 million, which is flat as compared to the linked quarter. The benefit from growth in average earning assets was partially offset by $4.1 million in reduced income from PPP loans. Average earning assets increased $1.2 billion, or 3.2%, driven by loan growth and an increase in investment securities purchases, while noninterest-bearing deposits increased $900.7 million, or 6.9% and interest-bearing liabilities increased $406.1 million, or 1.9%.
• Net interest margin for the first quarter was 2.35%, a decrease of two basis points from the linked quarter, driven by a decline in loan yields primarily due to $4.1 million in reduced income from PPP loans. Earning asset yields declined two basis points from the linked quarter, driven by a twenty-basis-point decline in loan yields and mix changes. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased one basis point to 0.21%. Net interest spread decreased three basis points to 2.26% from the linked quarter and was 24 basis points lower than the first quarter of 2021.
• On a year-over-year basis, net interest income increased $16.2 million, or 8.4%, driven by a $2.8 billion, or 26.2% increase in average securities, coupled with a $1.1 billion, or 6.9%, increase in average loans. These increases were driven by organic loan growth and excess liquidity.
• Average deposits increased 3.0% on a linked-quarter basis and 21.5% compared to the first quarter of 2021. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances increased 6.9% on a linked-quarter basis and 43.8% compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Noninterest income

• First quarter 2022 noninterest income increased $4.9 million, or 4.1%, on a linked-quarter basis, largely due to:
  • An increase of $3.0 million in service charges on deposits primarily driven by increased healthcare income related to customer transfer and conversion fees.
  • A gain of $2.4 million on the sale of the company’s factoring loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2022, recorded in other income.
  • An increase of $1.9 million in derivative income and $0.8 million in company-owned life insurance income, both recorded in other income. The increase in company-owned life insurance is offset by a proportionate increase in deferred compensation expense as noted below.
  • Increases of $0.9 million in corporate trust income and $0.4 million in fund services income, both recorded in trust and securities processing.
  • These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.7 million in gains on sales of available-for-sale securities, recorded in investment securities gains, and a decrease of $1.5 million in trading and investment banking income driven by decreased trading volume.

• Compared to the prior year, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2022 increased $14.8 million, or 13.6%, primarily driven by:
  • An increase of $7.8 million in investment securities gains, primarily due to mark-to-market valuations on the company’s equity investment in TTCF.
  • Increases of $5.0 million in derivative income, recorded in other income, and $2.0 million in bankcard income, due to higher interchange revenue.
  • An increase of $4.7 million in trust and securities processing income, primarily driven by increases of $6.4 million and $1.7 million in fund services and corporate trust income, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million in trust income.
  • An increase of $2.7 million in service charges on deposits driven by increased healthcare income related to customer transfer and conversion fees and increased corporate service charge income.
  • These increases were partially offset by decreases of $3.9 million in trading and investment banking income driven by lower trading volume, $2.1 million in gains on sale of other assets, and $1.2 million in company-owned life insurance income, both recorded in other income. The decrease in company-owned life insurance is offset by a proportionate decrease in deferred compensation expense as noted below.

• The linked-quarter decrease in noninterest expense was driven by:

  • Decreases of $3.9 million in legal and consulting expense and $1.6 million in marketing and business development due to the timing of multiple projects.
  • Decreases of $1.7 million in equipment expense driven by reduced software expense and $1.4 million in supplies expense primarily due to decreased computer hardware purchases.

The increase in deferred compensation expense was offset by the increase in company-owned life insurance income noted above.

• The year-over-year increase in noninterest expense was driven by:
  • An increase of $3.0 million in processing fees due to the timing of multiple software projects.

  • Increases of $2.4 million in salaries and bonus expense and $1.3 million in payroll taxes, insurance, and 401(k) expense, both recorded in salaries and employee benefits, primarily driven by increased company performance in the first quarter of 2022.

  • Increases of $1.2 million in operational losses, and $0.9 million in derivative-related expense, both recorded in other expense.
  • These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in deferred compensation expense, recorded in salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in deferred compensation expense was offset by the decrease in company-owned life insurance income noted above.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we provide information about net operating income, operating earnings per share - diluted (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA), operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, pre-tax, pre-provision income, pre-tax, pre-provision earnings per share – diluted (PTPP EPS), pre-tax, pre-provision income on a fully tax equivalent basis (PTPP-FTE), pre-tax, pre-provision FTE earnings per share – diluted (PTPP-FTE EPS), tangible shareholders’ equity, and tangible book value per share, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. The differences between the non-GAAP financial measures – net operating income, operating EPS, operating ROE, operating ROA, operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, PTPP, PTPP EPS, PTPP-FTE, PTPP-FTE EPS, tangible shareholders’ equity, and tangible book value per share – and the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled later in this release. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations may be useful to investors because they adjust for acquisition-, severance-, and COVID-19 related items that management does not believe reflect the company’s fundamental operating performance. COVID-19 related expense includes hazard pay for branch associates, computer hardware expense to support associates working remotely, and additional equipment, cleaning, and janitorial supplies to protect the well-being of our associates and customers while on the company’s premises.

Net operating income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding expenses related to acquisitions, severance expense, COVID-19 related expense, and the cumulative tax impact of these adjustments.

Operating EPS (diluted) is calculated as earnings per share as reported, adjusted to reflect, on a per share basis, the impact of excluding the non-GAAP adjustments described above for the relevant period. Operating ROE is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average total shareholders’ equity for the relevant period. Operating ROA is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average assets for the relevant period. Operating noninterest expense for the relevant period is defined as GAAP noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the pre-tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments described above. Operating efficiency ratio is calculated as the company’s operating noninterest expense, net of amortization of other intangibles, divided by the company’s total non-GAAP revenue (calculated as net interest income plus noninterest income, less gains on sales of securities available for sale, net).

PTPP income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding income tax and provision expenses.

PTPP-FTE for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis plus noninterest income, less noninterest expense.

Tangible shareholders’ equity for the relevant period is defined as GAAP shareholders’ equity, net of intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is defined as tangible shareholders’ equity divided by the Company’s total shares outstanding.

The company has strategically aligned its operations into the following three reportable segments: Commercial Banking, Institutional Banking, and Personal Banking.

The company’s reportable segments include certain corporate overhead, technology and service costs that are allocated based on methodologies that are applied consistently between periods. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at March 31, 2022.
