Loans and Leases

As of March 31, 2022, the total loan and lease portfolio was $6.77 billion, 3.6% above its level a year ago and 1.9% above its level at December 31, 2021. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, loans and leases held for investment increased $217.0 million, or 3.9%, to $5.74 billion while loans held for sale decreased $87.9 million, or 7.9%, to $1.03 billion. Average loans and leases were $6.72 billion during the first quarter of 2022 compared to $6.45 billion during the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, the total loan and lease portfolio increased by $1.55 billion, or 30.4%, compared to March 31, 2021, and $260.2 million, or 4.1%, compared to December 31, 2021.

The total loan and lease portfolio of $6.77 billion includes $130.8 million of PPP loans, net of deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2022, which are carried at historical cost classified as held for investment. The total loan and lease portfolio at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, of $6.77 billion and $6.64 billion, respectively, was comprised of 54.9% and 51.6% of unguaranteed loans and leases, respectively.

Loan and lease originations totaled $865.1 million during the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $218.6 million, or 20.2%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding PPP loans, loan and lease originations increased $192.6 million, or 28.6%, from the first quarter of 2021.

Deposits

Total deposits increased to $7.64 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.32 billion compared to March 31, 2021, and an increase of $525.1 million compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in total deposits from the prior quarters provides support for the growth in the loan and lease portfolio.

Average total interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2022 increased $343.2 million, or 5.0%, to $7.25 billion, compared to $6.91 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021. The ratio of average total loans and leases to average interest-bearing deposits was 92.8% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 93.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $196.9 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.47 billion and $318.3 million at March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company decreased borrowings by $121.4 million and $1.27 billion as compared to December 31, and March 31, 2021, respectively, primarily by reducing the outstanding balance in the Federal Reserve's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility ("PPPLF") to $136.5 million as of March 31, 2022. The PPPLF has a 100% advance rate equal to the principal amount of PPP loans pledged as security and carries an interest rate of 0.35%, and loans financed under the PPPLF have a neutral impact on regulatory leverage capital ratios.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 increased to $77.8 million compared to $70.0 million for the first quarter of 2021 and $77.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

The increase for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was driven by the significant growth in the total loan and lease portfolio combined with the reduction in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities from 1.02% for the first quarter of 2021 to 0.81% for the first quarter of 2022.

The net interest margin remained level compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 at 4.02%, with the yield on interest earning assets increasing by two basis points to 4.79% while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities also increased by two basis points to 0.81%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 increased to $32.7 million compared to $31.1 million for the first quarter of 2021 and decreased compared to $33.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The primary drivers in noninterest income changes are outlined below.

The loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a loss of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to a gain of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 and a loss of $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in the loan servicing asset revaluation from the first quarter of 2021 was largely related to prepayment speeds increasing over the prior year. The reduction of loss in the loan servicing asset revaluation from the fourth quarter of 2021 was principally the result of positive market pricing movements.

Net gains on sales of loans increased $9.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and $720 thousand compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The primary driver for the increase was the volume of guaranteed loans sold which increased to $219.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $199.0 million sold in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $136.7 million sold in the first quarter of 2021. The volume of loan sales in the first quarter of 2022 was influenced by current market considerations. The average net gain on sale premium was 109%, 110% and 110% for the first quarter of 2022, fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2021, respectively.

The net gain on loans accounted for under the fair value option totaled $516 thousand for the first quarter of 2022, a $3.7 million decrease compared to the $4.2 million net gain for the first quarter of 2021. The $3.7 million decrease in the gain was largely the result of significant economic forecasts improvements experienced during the first quarter of 2021.

Equity method investments had a net loss totaling $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2022, a $967 thousand higher net loss than the first quarter of 2021 and $5.1 million higher net loss than the fourth quarter of 2021. The increased level of net losses from equity method investments was largely a product of the Company's pro rata portion of losses recognized by fintech oriented investment funds.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $65.7 million compared to $58.3 million for the first quarter of 2021 and $59.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The primary drivers in noninterest expense changes are outlined below.

Salaries and employee benefits for the first quarter of 2022 increased to $38.5 million compared to $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 and $32.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was principally related to continued investment in human resources to support strategic and growth initiatives.

Travel expense for the first quarter of 2022 increased to $1.9 million compared to $659 thousand for the first quarter of 2021 and $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in travel expenses over the first quarter of 2021 was largely related to supporting both loan origination volume and the customer base as travel restrictions continued to ease.

Advertising and marketing expense increased to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $652 thousand for the first quarter of 2021 and decreased compared to $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The $1.0 million increase over the first quarter of 2021 was largely driven by renewed marketing events.

Technology expense is a new line item which replaces data processing expense in previous income statements. This new line item includes data processing expense and other non-compensation related costs reclassified from equipment expense and other expense line items for software, computer and telecommunications. This reclassification was made primarily to improve the clarity of expenses related to the Company's ongoing technology initiatives and is reflected in all comparative periods of this release. Technology expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $6.1 million, a $1.2 million increase over the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily related to enhanced investments in the Company's technology resources.

Partially offsetting the increase in noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was decreased impairment charges of $3.1 million related to renewable energy tax credit investments during the prior year combined with decreased professional services expense of $1.1 million largely driven by lower legal fees.

Asset Quality

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized net charge-offs for loans carried at historical cost of $2.4 million compared to net recoveries of $984 thousand in the first quarter of 2021 and net charge-offs of $15 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2022 was principally related to one relationship that was fully reserved for in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases carried at historical cost, annualized, for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and December 31, 2021, was 0.19%, (0.09)% and 0.00%, respectively.

Unguaranteed nonperforming (nonaccrual) loans and leases, excluding $4.5 million and $4.8 million accounted for under the fair value option at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, increased to $19.5 million, or 0.38% of loans and leases held for investment which are carried at historical cost, at March 31, 2022, compared to $16.0 million, or 0.33%, at December 31, 2021.

Provision for (Recovery of) Loan and Lease Credit Losses

The provision for loan and lease credit losses for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $1.8 million compared to a recovery of $873 thousand for the first quarter of 2021 and provision of $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The level of provision expense in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily the result of continued improvement in forecasts related to employment and default expectations combined with the effect of higher than usual recoveries in certain verticals and overall growth in the loan and lease portfolio.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $63.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $63.6 million at December 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost was 1.23% and 1.30% at March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Income Tax

Income tax expense and related effective tax rate was $8.4 million and 19.6% for the first quarter of 2022, $4.2 million and 9.6% for the first quarter of 2021, and $17.6 million and 36.9% for the fourth quarter of 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was principally influenced by anticipated renewable energy tax credits associated with investments expected in 2021 but delayed to 2022 due to supply chain issues.

The higher level of income tax expense for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by vesting of restricted stock unit awards with market price conditions during the first three months of 2021.

The lower level of income tax expense for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily the product of the above mentioned recognition of fewer investment tax credits in the last quarter of 2021 than the Company had anticipated in its annual effective tax rate for that year.

Shareholders' Equity

Total shareholders' equity decreased by $1.8 million, or 0.3%, during the first quarter of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to $38.5 million of negative market impacts on the Company's available-for-sale investment portfolio included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and largely offset by net income of $34.5 million.

During the first quarter of 2022, all of the remaining shares of Class B common stock (non-voting) amounting to 125,024 shares were converted to Class A common stock (voting) in connection with private sales.

This press release presents the non-GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable GAAP financial measure are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company's business for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
