“Total loans reached a record $47.5 billion as of September 30, 2022, up 8% linked quarter annualized, with growth across all our major loan categories. Asset quality continued to be healthy, with very low charge-offs and criticized loans decreasing 11% from June 30, 2022.”

Year-over-year, total assets grew $1.6 billion, or 3%, from $61.0 billion as of September 30, 2021. Third quarter 2022 average interest-earning assets of $59.5 billion were up $810.0 million, or 1% (5% annualized), from $58.7 billion in the second quarter of 2022. Quarter-over-quarter, average loan growth of $2.2 billion was partially offset by declines in other, lower yielding interest-earning assets.
  • Record Loans – Total loans reached $47.5 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $926.2 million, or 2% (8% annualized), from $46.5 billion as of June 30, 2022. Year-over-year, total loans grew $7.0 billion, or 17%, from $40.5 billion as of September 30, 2021. Third quarter 2022 average loans of $46.9 billion grew $2.2 billion, or 5% (20% linked quarter annualized), with solid growth spread across all our major loan categories, led by residential mortgage and commercial real estate loans.
  • Total Deposits – Total deposits were $53.9 billion as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.5 billion, or 1% (4% annualized), from $54.3 billion as of June 30, 2022. Year-over-year, deposits grew $0.5 billion, or 1%, from $53.4 billion as of September 30, 2021. Third quarter 2022 average deposits of $54.1 billion decreased $78.3 million, essentially unchanged from the second quarter. Quarter-over-quarter, growth in average time deposits, interest-bearing checking and money market accounts was offset by a decrease in average noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits made up 41% of average total deposits in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 44% in the second quarter of 2022 and 43% in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Strong Capital Levels – As of September 30, 2022, stockholders’ equity was $5.7 billion, or $40.17 per common share, and tangible equity3 per common share was $36.80; each increasing 1% (4% annualized) quarter-over-quarter. As of September 30, 2022, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.35%, an increase of six basis points quarter-over-quarter.

OPERATING RESULTS

Third Quarter Earnings – Third quarter 2022 net income was $295.3 million, an increase of 14%, or 57% annualized, from $258.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of 31% from $225.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2022 diluted earnings per share were $2.08, an increase of 15%, or 58% annualized, from $1.81 per diluted share for the second quarter 2022, and an increase of 32% from $1.57 per diluted share for the year-ago quarter.

Third Quarter 2022 Compared to Second Quarter 2022

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Record net interest income (“NII”) totaled $551.8 million, an increase of 17%, or 66% annualized, from $473.0 million. Net interest margin (“NIM”) of 3.68% expanded 45 basis points from 3.23%.

  • NII growth and NIM expansion were driven by expanding earning asset yields and loan growth, partially offset by an increase in the cost of funds.
  • The average loan yield was 4.75%, up 80 basis points from the second quarter. The average interest-earning asset yield was 4.19%, up 77 basis points from the second quarter. Average loans made up 79% of average interest-earning assets in the third quarter of 2022, compared with 76% in the second quarter of 2022.
  • The average cost of funds was 0.55%, up 35 basis points from the second quarter. The average cost of deposits was 0.51%, up 34 basis points, and the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.86%, up 56 basis points from the second quarter.
  • The changes in yields and rates reflected rising benchmark interest rates.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income totaled $75.6 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $2.9 million, or 4%, from $78.4 million in the second quarter.

  • Fee income and net gains on sales of loans were $69.0 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 7% (26% annualized), from $64.8 million in the second quarter. Growth in wealth management fees, deposit account fees and gains on sale of SBA loans was partially offset by decreased foreign exchange income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $216.0 million in the third quarter, compared with $196.9 million in the second quarter. Third quarter noninterest expense consisted of $195.6 million of adjusted noninterest expense4, $19.9 million in amortization of tax credit and other investments, and $0.5 million in amortization of core deposit intangibles.

  • Adjusted noninterest expense of $195.6 million increased $14.2 million, or 8%, from $181.4 million in the second quarter, driven by higher compensation and employee benefits.
  • Amortization of tax credit and other investments totaled $19.9 million in the third quarter, compared with $15.0 million in the second quarter. Quarter-over-quarter variability in the amortization of tax credits and other investments partially reflects the impact of investments that close in a given period.
  • The adjusted efficiency ratio4 was 31.2% in the third quarter, compared with 32.9% in the second quarter.

TAX RELATED ITEMS

Third quarter 2022 income tax expense was $89.0 million compared with income tax expense of $82.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. The year-to-date effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2022 was 22.7%.

ASSET QUALITY

The asset quality of our loan portfolio continued to be solid and stable.

  • Criticized loans decreased $117.4 million, or 11%, quarter-over-quarter to $905.2 million as of September 30, 2022, down from $1,022.6 million as of June 30, 2022. Special mention loans decreased 20% quarter-over-quarter to $471.0 million, and classified loans were essentially unchanged at $434.2 million.
  • The criticized loans ratio decreased 29 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 1.91% of loans held-for-investment (“HFI”) as of September 30, 2022, down from 2.20% as of June 30, 2022. The special mention loans ratio decreased 28 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 0.99%, and the classified loans ratio decreased one basis point to 0.92%.
  • As of September 30, 2022, nonperforming assets were $97.0 million, or 0.16% of total assets, compared with $89.9 million, or 0.14% of total assets, as of June 30, 2022.
  • Third quarter 2022 net charge-offs were $6.6 million, or annualized 0.06% of average loans HFI, compared with net recoveries of $6.6 million, or annualized 0.06% of average loans HFI, for the second quarter of 2022.
  • The allowance for loan losses totaled $582.5 million, or 1.23% of loans HFI, as of September 30, 2022, compared with $563.3 million, or 1.21% of loans HFI, as of June 30, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter build in the allowance coverage largely reflects the current macroeconomic outlook and loan growth during the quarter.

Provision for credit losses was $27.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared with $13.5 million for the second quarter of 2022.

The Company has elected to use the 2020 CECL transition provision in the calculation of its September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 regulatory capital ratios. The Company’s September 30, 2022 regulatory capital ratios and RWA are preliminary.

(b)

Under regulatory guidelines, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories based on the nature of the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar value in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWA.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

($ in thousands)

(unaudited)

Table 12

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents total revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles. Management believes that the measures and ratios presented below provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods.

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Tangible equity and tangible equity to tangible assets ratio are non-GAAP financial measures.
