first quarter results. Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was
$26.4 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share, compared to $41.0
million, or $1.10 per diluted common share, for the first quarter

and discussed further below.

“A very solid start for 2022 with excellent new business
activity resulting in double digit core loan growth on an
annualized basis,” said Gary Small, President and CEO of Premier.
“Core commercial growth totaled 11% for the quarter and was the
second consecutive quarter of core commercial growth in excess of
10%. Consumer lending was also on the move growing over 18%
annualized for the quarter. We were pleased to see meaningful
growth contributions from each of our nine markets.”
Quarterly results
Strong loan growth
Gross loans receivable were $5.39 billion at March 31, 2022,
compared to $5.30 billion at December 31, 2021. Loans related to
the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) were $18.7 million at March
31, 2022, compared to $58.9 million at December 31, 2021. Gross
loans receivable increased $92.2 million on a linked quarter basis
despite a $40.2 million decrease in PPP loans. Excluding PPP, loans
grew $132.4 million organically, or 10.1% annualized. Commercial
loans excluding PPP increased $97.4 million from December 31, 2021,
or 11.0% annualized.
Net interest income up compared to first quarter of 2021
Net interest income of $57.9 million in the first quarter of
2022 was up from $56.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. The
increase over the prior year’s first quarter was attributable to
higher securities, non-PPP loan growth and a 13 basis point
decrease in average cost of funds. Net interest margin was 3.44%
for the first quarter of 2022, up from 3.41% in the fourth quarter
of 2021, and up from 3.43% in the first quarter of 2021. Yield on
interest-earning assets was 3.62% in the first quarter of 2022, up
from 3.61% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Loan yields of 4.11% in
the first quarter of 2022 were consistent with 4.11% in the fourth
quarter of 2021. Total cost of funds decreased three basis points
in the first quarter of 2022 to 0.18% from the fourth quarter of
2021, while the total cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased three basis points to 0.25%. The 2022 first quarter
results include the impact of acquisition marks and related
accretion for the UCFC acquisition. Interest income includes
$491,000 of accretion and interest expense includes $246,000 of
accretion. Interest income for the first quarter also includes $3.6
million on average balances of $32.9 million for PPP and only $0.2
million of fees remain unrecognized as of March 31, 2022. Excluding
the impact of acquisition marks accretion and PPP loans, net
interest income would be $53.7 million, up 7.5% from $50.0 million
in the first quarter of 2021 and up 1.1% from $53.2 million in the
fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, net interest margin would be
3.20% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 3.25% for the first
quarter of 2021 and 3.21% for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Non-interest income down from first quarter of 2021
Premier’s non-interest income in the first quarter of 2022 was
$16.9 million, compared with $26.3 million in the first quarter of
2021. Total mortgage banking income was $4.3 million in the first
quarter of 2022, compared with $10.5 million in the first quarter
of 2021. Mortgage gains were $2.5 million in the first quarter of
2022, compared with $5.6 million in the first quarter of 2021 with
the change due to lower production, compressed margins, lower
saleable mix and less favorable marks on the in-process portfolio.
Mortgage loan servicing revenue of $1.9 million in the first
quarter of 2022 was consistent with $1.9 million in the first
quarter of 2021. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights was $1.4
million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with $2.3 million in
the first quarter of 2021. Premier also had a positive change in
the valuation adjustment for mortgage servicing assets of $1.2
million in the first quarter of 2022 compared with a positive
adjustment of $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.
For the first quarter of 2022, service fees and other charges
were $6.0 million, up 9.7% from $5.5 million in the first quarter
of 2021 primarily due to higher consumer account and interchange
related fees. This was mostly offset by a combined $0.5 million
decrease in wealth management and insurance commissions. Insurance
revenues included $1.1 million of contingent commissions in the
first quarter of 2022, consistent with $1.1 million in the first
quarter of 2021. BOLI income decreased $0.2 million from the first
quarter of 2021, primarily due to $0.3 million of claim gains in
the first quarter of 2021. Securities losses were $0.6 million in
the first quarter of 2022 from decreased valuations in our trading
securities portfolio compared to $2.1 million of gains in the first
quarter of 2021, comprised of $0.5 million from securities sales
and $1.6 million due to increased valuations in our trading
securities portfolio.
“Residential mortgage results for the quarter were stronger than
anticipated given the volatile rate environment,” said Small.
“Application activity remained robust in Q1 and gain on sale was
under pressure as anticipated, but offset by additional
contributions coming from the expansion of our residential lending
team. We added 14 new lenders during the quarter including an
expansion into the Ann Arbor market. We are well positioned to make
the most of the opportunities for 2022 and beyond.”
Non-interest expenses up from first quarter of 2021
Total non-interest expense was $41.3 million in the first
quarter of 2022 compared with $38.8 million in the first quarter of
2021. Compensation and benefits were $25.5 million in the first
quarter of 2022, compared to $22.0 million in the first quarter of
2021. The year-over-year increase was due to the combination of
higher costs related to higher staffing levels for our growth
initiatives, continued higher healthcare benefit costs and lower
deferred costs related to lower residential mortgage production.
All other expenses including occupancy, deposit insurance premiums,
financial institution taxes, data processing, intangibles
amortization and other costs decreased by $1.0 million compared to
the first quarter of 2021.
“Quarterly expense growth was anticipated versus first quarter
2021,” said Small. “We invested in revenue producing initiatives
and certainly feel the positive effect in our production. Our
efficiency ratio was on track with internal expectations for the
quarter, running higher than the full year expectation as is
generally the case in Q1.”
Credit quality
Non-performing assets totaled $47.6 million, or 0.63% of assets,
at March 31, 2022, a decrease from $48.2 million at December 31,
2021, and from $49.4 million at March 31, 2021. Loan delinquencies
decreased to $7.6 million, or 0.1% of loans, at March 31, 2022,
from $12.3 million at December 31, 2021, and from $9.5 million at
March 31, 2021. Classified loans totaled $60.3 million, or 1.0% of
loans, as of March 31, 2022, a decrease from $69.5 million at
December 31, 2021, and from $114.6 million at March 31, 2021.
The 2022 first quarter results include net loan recoveries of
$0.1 million and a total provision expense of $0.9 million,
compared with net loan recoveries of $0.2 million and a total
provision credit of $7.0 million for the same period in 2021. The
current year provision is primarily due to loan growth whereas the
prior year provision was primarily due to the improving economic
environment following the COVID-19 pandemic-induced economic
recession and reserve increase in 2020. The allowance for credit
losses as a percentage of total loans excluding PPP and including
unaccreted acquisition marks was 1.34% at March 31, 2022, compared
with 1.37% at December 31, 2021, and 1.69% at March 31, 2021. The
continued economic improvement after the 2020 pandemic-related
downturn has led to the year-over-year decrease in the allowance
percentages.
“We again experienced improving asset quality with decreases in
delinquencies, non-performing assets and classified loans again
this quarter,” said Paul Nungester, CFO of Premier. “Our enhanced
asset quality helped support a lower coverage level with the
overall expense level being driven by our strong core loan
production.”
Total assets at $7.59 billion
Total assets at March 31,
2022, were $7.59 billion, compared to $7.48 billion at December 31,
2021, and $7.53 billion at March 31, 2021. Gross loans receivable
were $5.39 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $5.30 billion at
December 31, 2021, and $5.46 billion at March 31, 2021. At March
31, 2022, gross loans receivable decreased $71.4 million from a
year ago due to a $425.1 million decrease in PPP loans. Excluding
PPP, loans grew $353.8 million organically, or 7.1% from a year
ago. Commercial loans excluding PPP increased $259.1 million from
March 31, 2021, to 2022, or 7.6%. Securities at March 31, 2022,
were $1.23 billion, compared to $1.22 billion at December 31, 2021,
and $0.93 billion at March 31, 2021. Also, at March 31, 2022,
goodwill and other intangible assets totaled $340.6 million
compared to $342.1 million at December 31, 2021, and $346.7 million
at March 31, 2021, with the decrease attributable to intangibles
amortization.
Total deposits at March 31,
2021, were $6.32 billion, compared with $6.28 billion at December
31, 2021, and $6.35 billion at March 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022,
total deposits grew $35.2 million organically, or 2.2% annualized
from the prior quarter.
Total stockholders’ equity was
$0.94 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.02 billion at
December 31, 2021, and $1.00 billion at March 31, 2021. The
quarterly decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily due to a
decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and
buybacks. The decrease in AOCI is primarily related to a $58.9
million negative valuation adjustment on the available-for-sale
securities portfolio. The Company also completed the repurchase of
793,166 common shares for $24.2 million during the quarter. At
March 31, 2022, 1,291,000 common shares remained available for
repurchase under the Company’s existing repurchase
program.
Dividend to be paid May 13
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.30 per common share payable May 13, 2022, to shareholders of
record at the close of business on May 6, 2022. The dividend
represents an annual dividend of 4.2 percent based on the Premier
common stock closing price on April 25, 2022. Premier has
approximately 35,552,000 common shares outstanding.

uncertainties inherent in general and local banking, insurance and

Non-GAAP Reporting Measures
We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most
appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider core net
interest income to be a useful supplemental measure of our
operating performance. We define core net interest income as net
interest income on a tax-equivalent basis excluding income from PPP
loans and purchase accounting marks accretion. We believe that this
metric is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance
because investors and equity analysts may use this measure to
compare the operating performance of the Company between periods or
as compared to other financial institutions or other companies on a
consistent basis without having to account for income from PPP
loans and purchase accounting marks accretion. Our supplemental
reporting measures and similarly entitled financial measures are
widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and ratings
agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment
recommendations of companies. Our management uses these financial
measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons to
historical operating results and in making operating decisions.
Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to
evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not
represent net income or cash flow provided from operating
activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should
not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or
liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined
by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported
by other financial institutions or other companies. Please see the
exhibits for reconciliations of our supplemental reporting
measures.

21%. (2) Annualized. (3) Securities yield = annualized interest
income divided by the average balance of securities, excluding
average unrealized gains/losses. (4) Net interest margin is tax
