Results of Operations

Net Income

Net income was $16.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 17.1%, from $19.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was due to an decrease in noninterest income of $3.0 million, a decrease in net interest income of $433,000 and an increase in noninterest expense of $940,000, offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $943,000. Net income increased $1.7 million, or 11.9%, in the second quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $14.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. This increase was due to an increase in net interest income of $5.4 million and a decrease in provision for loan losses of $2.2 million, offset by a decrease in noninterest income of $3.9 million, an increase in noninterest expense of $1.0 million and an increase in provision for income taxes of $926,000.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Interest income totaled $33.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.1 million, or 3.4%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a $63.8 million increase in average loan balances. We recognized Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan fee income of $341,000 during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $503,000 recognized during the first quarter of 2022. As compared to the second quarter of 2021, interest income for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $7.1 million, or 27.6%, primarily due to an increase in average loan balances of $636.4 million.

Interest expense totaled $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.5 million, or 115.8%, from the previous quarter, primarily due to a 28 basis points increase in deposit costs and a 54 basis points increase in borrowing costs. As compared to the second quarter of 2021, interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $1.7 million, or 163.9%, primarily due to a $465.7 million increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances coupled with a 26 basis points increase in deposit costs.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 4.26% compared to 4.16% for the previous quarter, an increase of ten basis points. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the second quarter of 2022 increased by 31 basis points to 4.65% from 4.34% for the previous quarter, while the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2022 increased by 32 basis points to 0.56% from 0.24% for the previous quarter. Average earning assets decreased by $143.0 million from the previous quarter, primarily due to a decrease of $205.7 million in average interest-earning cash accounts offset by an increase in average loans of $63.8 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $182.6 million from the previous quarter as average borrowings decreased by $221.5 million and interest-bearing deposits increased by $38.9 million. The inclusion of PPP loan average balances, interest and fees had a three basis points impact on both the yield on average loans and the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022.

As compared to the same period in 2021, the net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by 34 basis points to 4.26% from 4.60%, primarily due to a 14 basis point decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets of $2.85 billion and a 25 basis point increase in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities of $2.00 billion. Average earning assets for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $679.5 million from the second quarter of 2021, due to a $636.4 million increase in average loans and a $43.1 million increase in total investments. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $618.0 million from the second quarter of 2021, driven by an increase in average interest-bearing deposits of $465.7 million and an increase in average borrowings of $152.3 million.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $4.7 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 39.2%, from the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to a significant decrease in Small Business Administration ("SBA") servicing income and gains on sale of SBA loans, partially offset by higher mortgage loan fees as mortgage loan originations totaled  $327.0 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $162.9 million for the previous quarter. We elected not to sell any SBA loans during the second quarter of 2022 as premiums drastically declined during the quarter. During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a $2.3 million fair value loss on our SBA servicing asset and an $88,000 fair value impairment recovery on our mortgage servicing asset. These servicing asset adjustments had a $0.07 per share impact on our diluted earnings per share for the quarter.

Compared to the same period in 2021, noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by $3.9 million, or 45.9%, primarily due to much lower SBA servicing income and gains on sale of SBA loans, offset by higher gains on sale of mortgage loans and mortgage serving income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $13.1 million, an increase of $940,000, or 7.7%, from $12.2 million for the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits partially due to an increase in commissions earned as loan volume increased during the quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest expense during the second quarter of 2022 increased by $1.0 million, or 8.5%, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits and IT-related expenses.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 37.6% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to 31.8% and 36.2% for the first quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the efficiency ratio was 34.6% compared with 36.1% for the same period in 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 26.0%, compared to 25.3% for the first quarter of 2022 and 24.7% for the second quarter of 2021.

The $25.5 million increase in total assets at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022 was primarily due to increases in loans held for investment of $257.7 million and other assets of $13.1 million, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $201.6 million and loans held for sale of $37.9 million. The $650.0 million increase in total assets at June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to increases in loans of $678.3 million, equity securities of $10.8 million, bank owned life insurance of $32.0 million and other assets of $20.2 million, offset by a $90.8 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and an increase in the allowance for loan losses of $2.8 million.

Included in commercial and industrial loans are PPP loans totaling $8.9 million as of June 30, 2022. PPP Loans totaled $19.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and $93.1 million as of June 30, 2021.

The increase in total deposits at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022 was due to an $11.3 million increase in money market accounts, a $4.5 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, a $2.7 million increase in time deposits and a $0.7 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits, offset by a $4.3 million decrease in savings accounts.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded no provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $104,000 during the first quarter of 2022 and $2.2 million during the second quarter of 2021. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the second quarter of 2022 was 0.00%, compared to 0.06% for the first quarter of 2022 and 0.02% for the second quarter of 2021. The Company is not required to implement the provisions of the current expected credit losses accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 until January 1, 2023, and is continuing to account for the allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss model.

Nonperforming assets totaled $34.0 million, or 1.07% of total assets, at June 30, 2022, an increase of $18.0 million from $16.0 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at March 31, 2022, and an increase of $20.0 million from $14.0 million, or 0.56% of total assets, at June 30, 2021. The increase in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022 was due to a $10.4 million increase in nonaccrual loans and a $7.6 million increase in accruing troubled debt restructurings.

Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.60% at June 30, 2022, compared to 0.66% at both March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021. Excluding outstanding PPP loans of $8.9 million as of June 30, 2022, $19.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and $93.1 million as of June 30, 2021, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.60% at June 30, 2022, 0.67% at March 31, 2022 and 0.69% at June 30, 2021.
