“On our third quarter 2023 earnings conference call, we indicated that net interest margin and net interest income had likely bottomed and would soon trend higher,” said David Becker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Since then, while the rate environment has remained quite volatile, our net interest margin and net interest income have improved by 27 basis points and 19%, respectively, over the past two quarters, driving higher earnings and improved profitability.

“At the same time, we’ve improved the risk profile of our balance sheet by optimizing our loan portfolio, and further diversifying our revenue and earnings streams. Our balance sheet liquidity position has strengthened, our capital position remains sturdy, and asset quality has been maintained. This strong foundation has also positioned us to remain on offense, as we continue to drive positive momentum in our SBA business, with strong production and another record level of gain on sale income during the first quarter. Amidst continued macroeconomic uncertainty, these developments leave us confident in our ability to drive further improvement in earnings and profitability over the remainder of the year.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $20.7 million, compared to $19.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $19.6 million for the first quarter of 2023. On a fully-taxable equivalent basis, net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $21.9 million, compared to $21.0 million for both the fourth and first quarters of 2023.

Total interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $68.2 million, an increase of 2.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and an increase of 31.0% compared to the first quarter of 2023. On a fully-taxable equivalent basis, total interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $69.4 million, an increase of 2.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and an increase of 29.8% compared to the first quarter of 2023. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2024 increased to 5.45% from 5.28% for the fourth quarter of 2023, due to a 23 basis point (“bp”) increase in the yield earned on loans and a 9 bp increase in the yield earned on securities, partially offset by a 6 bp decrease in the yield earned on other earning assets. Compared to the linked quarter, average loan balances increased $92.7 million, or 2.4%, and the average balance of securities increased $20.0 million, or 2.9%, while the average balance of other earning assets decreased $66.6 million, or 13.3%.

Interest income earned on commercial loans was higher due to increased average balances and the positive impact of higher rates in the variable rate construction and small business lending portfolios, as well as growth in the higher-yielding franchise finance portfolio. This was partially offset by lower average balances in the public finance and healthcare finance portfolios. The continued shift in the loan mix reflects our focus on variable rate and higher-yielding products, in part, to help improve the interest rate risk profile of our balance sheet.

In the consumer loan portfolio, interest income was up modestly due to the combination of slightly higher average balances and continued higher new origination yields in the trailers, RV and other consumer loan portfolios.

The yield on funded portfolio loan originations was 8.84% in the first quarter of 2024, relatively stable with the fourth quarter of 2023, and an increase of 108 bps compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Interest income earned on securities during the first quarter of 2024 increased $0.3 million, or 4.0%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 as the yield on the portfolio increased 9 bps to 3.81%, driven primarily by higher yields on new purchases and continued slower prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the average balance of securities increased $20.0 million, or 2.9%, during the first quarter of 2024. Interest earned on other earning asset balances decreased $1.1 million, or 15.4%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter, due primarily to lower average cash balances and slightly lower yields.

Total interest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $47.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 2.1%, compared to the linked quarter as short-term rates remained stable throughout the quarter while average interest-bearing deposit balances increased $51.5 million, or 1.3%. Interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits increased $1.1 million, or 2.6%, driven primarily by higher costs on certificates of deposits (“CDs”), interest-bearing demand deposits and BaaS – brokered deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 4.25% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 4.14% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Average CD balances increased $22.6 million, or 1.4%, compared to the linked quarter, driven by strong consumer demand, while the cost of funds increased 15 bps. The increase in the cost of CDs is the lowest in the past seven quarters, reflecting the narrowing gap between rates on new production and maturities. The average balance of interest-bearing demand deposits increased $32.7 million, or 8.5%, due to growth in fintech partnership deposits, while the cost of funds increased 32 bps. The average balance of BaaS – brokered deposits increased $23.3 million, or 37.5%, due to higher payments volumes, while the cost of funds increased 1 bp.

These increases were partially offset by lower average brokered deposit balances, which decreased $19.4 million, or 3.1%, as excess liquidity was used to redeem $17.9 million of callable brokered CDs.

Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 1.66% for the first quarter of 2024, up from 1.58% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and down from 1.76% for the first quarter of 2023. Fully-taxable equivalent NIM (“FTE NIM”) was 1.75% for the first quarter of 2024, up from 1.68% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and down from 1.89% for the first quarter of 2023. The increases in NIM and FTE NIM compared to the linked quarter were driven primarily by higher yields on loans and securities, as well as higher average loan and securities balances, partially offset by higher interest-bearing deposit costs and lower average cash balances.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $8.3 million, compared to $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2023. Gain on sale of loans totaled $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, increasing $0.5 million, or 8.4%, compared to the linked quarter. Gain on sale revenue consisted almost entirely of sales of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) guaranteed loans during the first quarter of 2024. Loan sale volume was down seasonally, decreasing 11.5% compared to the linked quarter, but was more than offset by a 158 bp increase in net premiums. Net loan servicing revenue increased $0.5 million during the quarter due to growth in the servicing portfolio and the change in the fair value adjustment to the loan servicing asset.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $20.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, representing increases of 4.8% and 0.3%, respectively. The increase of $1.0 million compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to higher salaries and employee benefits and marketing expenses.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to annual resets on certain employee benefits, payroll taxes and incentive compensation accruals, as well as annual merit increases and new hires, partially offset by lower small business incentive compensation and lower medical claims. The increase in marketing expenses was due mainly to higher advertising, media and sponsorship costs.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.4 million and an effective tax rate of 7.6% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to income tax benefits of $0.6 million and $2.3 million for the fourth and first quarters of 2023, respectively.

Loans and Credit Quality

Total loans as of March 31, 2024 were $3.9 billion, an increase of $69.6 million, or 1.8%, compared to December 31, 2023, and an increase of $302.6 million, or 8.4%, compared to March 31, 2023. Total commercial loan balances were $3.1 billion as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $75.2 million, or 2.5%, compared to December 31, 2023, and an increase of $275.4 million, or 9.8%, compared to March 31, 2023. Compared to the linked quarter, the increase in commercial loan balances was driven primarily by growth in higher yielding construction, small business lending and franchise finance balances. These items were partially offset by decreases in the fixed-rate public finance and healthcare finance portfolios.

Total consumer loan balances were $793.4 million as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 0.4%, compared to December 31, 2023, and an increase of $37.1 million, or 4.9%, compared to March 31, 2023. The slight decline compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to a decrease in the residential mortgage portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the trailers portfolio.

Total delinquencies 30 days or more past due were 0.53% of total loans as of March 31, 2024, compared to 0.31% at December 31, 2023, and 0.13% as of March 31, 2023. The increase during the first quarter of 2024 was due primarily to an increase in delinquencies in the small business lending and franchise finance portfolios, some of which was due to the timing of principal and interest payments. Subsequent to quarter end, payments were received from a number of borrowers and as of the date of this release, delinquencies 30 days or more past due declined to 0.32% of total loans, relatively consistent with the linked quarter.

Nonperforming loans were 0.33% of total loans as of March 31, 2024, compared to 0.26% as of both December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023. Nonperforming loans totaled $13.1 million at March 31, 2024, up from $10.0 million at December 31, 2023. The increase in nonperforming loans was due primarily to an increase in nonperforming small business lending loans and, to a lesser extent, an increase in nonperforming residential mortgage loans.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) as a percentage of total loans was 1.05% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 1.01% as of December 31, 2023, and 1.02% as of March 31, 2023. The increase in the ACL reflects the addition of specific reserves on nonperforming small business lending loans, as well as growth in certain loan portfolios, partially offset by the positive impact of economic data on forecasted loss rates and qualitative factors on other portfolios.

Net charge-offs of $0.5 million were recognized during the first quarter of 2024, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 0.05%, compared to $1.2 million, or 0.12%, for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $7.2 million, or 0.82%, for the first quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2024 were driven primarily by small business and consumer lending.

The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2024 was $2.4 million, compared to $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $9.4 million for the first quarter of 2023. The provision for the first quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by specific reserves, growth in certain loan portfolios and net charge-offs, partially offset by the positive impact of economic forecasts on other portfolios.

Capital

As of March 31, 2024, total shareholders’ equity was $366.7 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 1.1%, compared to December 31, 2023, and an increase of $11.2 million, or 3.1%, compared to March 31, 2023. The increase in shareholders’ equity during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter was due primarily to the net income earned during the quarter, partially offset by a slight increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Book value per common share increased to $42.37 as of March 31, 2024, up from $41.97 as of December 31, 2023, and $39.76 as of March 31, 2023. Tangible book value per share was $41.83 as of March 31, 2024, up from $41.43 as of December 31, 2023, and $39.23 as of March 31, 2023.

In connection with its previously announced stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 10,500 shares of its common stock during the first quarter of 2024 at an average price of $26.94 per share. The Company has repurchased $41.7 million of stock under its authorized programs since November of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, total interest income – FTE, net interest income – FTE, net interest margin – FTE, adjusted total revenue, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax provision (benefit), adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity are used by the Company’s management to measure the strength of its capital and analyze profitability, including its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. Although management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors by providing a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
