DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Balance Sheet

Loans

Loans held for investment increased by $44.5 million, or 8% annualized, from March 31, 2024 to June 30, 2024. Commercial loans increased by $41.9 million, or 9% annualized, from $1.8 billion at March 31, 2024 to $1.9 billion at June 30, 2024. The residential mortgage portfolio increased by $2.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Investment Securities

Investment securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale, increased by $14.2 million to $529.1 million at June 30, 2024 from $514.9 million at March 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2024, purchases of $28.5 million were partially offset by paydowns of $11.3 million and a call of $2.4 million. The overall duration of the Company’s investment securities portfolio was 4.2 years at June 30, 2024. See Appendix B for a summary of the Bank’s investment securities at June 30, 2024, highlighting their concentrations, credit ratings and credit enhancement levels.

Deposits

During the second quarter of 2024, deposits increased by $6.9 million totaling approximately $2.7 billion at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, time deposits increased by $32.5 million, money market deposits increased by $18.7 million and non-interest bearing deposits increased by $6.7 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing demand deposits of $48.2 million and savings deposits of $2.8 million. The increase in time deposits was attributable to promotional offerings of up to 18-month terms. The decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits primarily reflects activity from one client who deposited funds in the prior quarter on a short-term basis. The declines in savings deposits were primarily due to clients shifting to higher-yielding products within the Bank. At June 30, 2024, deposits that are uninsured and not collateralized totaled $422.3 million, or 16%, of total deposits compared to $413.5 million, or 15%, of total deposits at March 31, 2024. The Bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio increased slightly to 87% at June 30, 2024 from 85% at March 31, 2024 due to the increase in loans during the second quarter of 2024.

Borrowings

The Bank actively manages its liquidity position through its various sources of funding to meet the needs of its clients. FHLB advances and other borrowings were $115.0 million at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The Bank seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure client needs can be addressed on a timely basis. The Bank had available alternative funding sources, such as FHLB advances and other wholesale options, of approximately $1.0 billion at June 30, 2024.

Income Statement

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income was $26.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased to 3.54% in the second quarter of 2024 from 3.77% in the first quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Bank recognized interest income previously applied to principal of $1.6 million from the payoff of a commercial real estate loan on nonaccrual status, which contributed 21 basis points to net interest margin. Excluding the impact of the payoff, net interest margin was relatively stable quarter-to-quarter. The net interest margin was negatively impacted by the increase in funding costs of 11 basis points due primarily to higher average interest-bearing deposit balances. Offsetting these factors, interest income benefited from the deployment of cash into higher yielding loans and investments.

Interest income on loans, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased by $0.7 million to $35.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $36.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily due to the aforementioned interest recovery during the first quarter of 2024.

Interest income on investment securities, on a tax equivalent basis, was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in interest income on investment securities was primarily caused by the increased average balance of investment securities for the quarter.

Interest expense, on a tax equivalent basis, increased by $1.4 million to $17.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due primarily to higher average deposit balances and an increase in rates on deposits. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by $127.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans increased to $29.9 million at June 30, 2024 from $29.2 million at March 31, 2024. The increase in the ACL was driven primarily by loan growth. The ACL to total loans was 1.27% at both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Net charge-offs were $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net recoveries which totaled less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Special mention loans decreased by $6.1 million from $16.0 million at March 31, 2024 to $9.9 million at June 30, 2024 due to repayments of $2.1 million and upgrades of $1.7 million. The remaining decrease to special mention loans was due to downgrades to classified loans. Classified loans decreased by $0.3 million to $48.7 million at June 30, 2024 from $49.0 million at March 31, 2024. The decrease in classified loans was primarily due to repayments of $8.0 million partially offset by downgrades. Non-accrual loans decreased by $4.5 million to $8.4 million at June 30, 2024 from $12.9 million at March 31, 2024 primarily due to repayments of $6.5 million in acquisition and development and commercial real estate loans. The repayments on non-accrual loans were partially offset by additions of $2.1 million, including one commercial real estate loan totaling $1.2 million. Management believes the ACL to be adequate based on current asset quality metrics and economic conditions.

Management regularly analyzes the commercial real estate portfolio, which includes the review of occupancy, cash flows, expenses and expiring leases, as well as the location of the real estate. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $220.4 million in loans related to office space compared to $225.9 million at March 31, 2024. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio was 56% and the weighted average debt coverage ratio was 1.85x at June 30, 2024. Management believes that the office space portfolio is well-diversified and includes only limited exposure to properties located in major metro markets (approximately 2% of the total commercial real estate loan balance as of June 30, 2024).

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased by $0.6 million to $7.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Wealth management income increased by $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to both new client generation and strong stock market performance.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded swap fee income of $0.4 million compared to $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. Swap fee income fluctuates based on market conditions and client demand.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, mortgage banking income decreased by $0.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2024, residential mortgage sales totaled $8.4 million compared to $14.7 million during the first quarter of 2024, inclusive of a portfolio of loans sold to another institution during the first quarter of 2024. Mortgage production levels remain low in the current environment.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses increased by $0.1 million to $22.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $22.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, merger-related expenses totaled $1.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase is due primarily to higher legal fees incurred during the second quarter of 2024. The Company will incur additional merger-related expenses from the operational and technology processes to combine systems and services of both companies, which is expected to be completed in November 2024.

Advertising and bank promotions expense increased by $0.4 million to $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to $0.5 million in contributions to tax credit programs during the second quarter of 2024. Taxes other than income decreased by $0.4 million to less than $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease reflects the tax credits recognized on the contributions during the second quarter of 2024.

Salaries and benefits expense decreased by $0.6 million to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Employee benefit costs were lower during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 as social security and unemployment taxes are typically higher at the beginning of the year. In addition, incentive compensation was higher during the first quarter of 2024 associated with the prior year’s performance.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 21.2% compared to 20.6% for the first quarter of 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is greater than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the disallowed portion of interest expense against earnings in association with the Bank’s tax-exempt investments under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (“TEFRA”) and the impact of nondeductible merger-related costs, partially offset by tax-exempt income, including interest earned on tax-exempt loans and securities and income from life insurance policies and tax credits. The nondeductible merger-related costs increased the effective tax rate by 0.9% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to an increase in the effective tax rate of 1.2% for the first quarter of 2024. The Company regularly analyzes its projected taxable income and makes adjustments to the provision for income taxes accordingly.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity totaled $278.4 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $6.7 million from $271.7 million at March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to net income of $7.7 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $2.1 million. Other comprehensive income totaled $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, which primarily consisted of net unrealized gains on cash flow hedges. The remaining activity is related to share-based compensation.

Tangible book value per share⁽¹⁾ increased to $24.08 per share at June 30, 2024 from $23.47 per share at March 31, 2024 due to the increase in shareholders’ equity.

The Company’s tangible common equity ratio increased to 8.1% at June 30, 2024 from 7.9% at March 31, 2024 due to the increase in shareholders’ equity during the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 13.3% at June 30, 2024 compared to 13.4% at March 31, 2024. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.9% at June 30, 2024 compared to 9.0% at March 31, 2024. At June 30, 2024, all four capital ratios applicable to the Company were above regulatory minimum levels to be deemed “well capitalized” under current bank regulatory guidelines. The Company continues to believe that capital is adequate to support the risks inherent in the balance sheet, as well as growth requirements.
