(1) Total revenue consists of net interest income and total noninterest income.

Loans and Leases

As of March 31, 2024, the total loan and lease portfolio was $9.22 billion, 2.2% above its level at December 31, 2023, and 12.2% above its level a year ago. This growth was the product of strong origination volumes. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, loans and leases held for investment increased $278.7 million, or 3.2%, to $8.91 billion while loans held for sale decreased $76.3 million, or 19.7%, to $310.7 million. Average loans and leases were $9.11 billion during the first quarter of 2024 compared to $8.84 billion during the fourth quarter of 2023.

The total loan and lease portfolio at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was comprised of 37.4% and 37.8% of guaranteed loans and leases, respectively.

Loan and lease originations totaled $805.1 million during the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $176.6 million, or 18.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2023. Loan and lease originations decreased $225.8 million, or 21.9%, from the first quarter of 2023.

Deposits

Total deposits increased to $10.38 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $108.3 million compared to December 31, 2023, and an increase of $961.4 million compared to March 31, 2023. The increase in total deposits from prior periods was to support growth in the loan and lease portfolio as well as the Company's targeted liquidity levels.

Average total interest-bearing deposits for the first quarter of 2024 increased $234.7 million, or 2.4%, to $10.07 billion, compared to $9.84 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023. The ratio of average total loans and leases to average interest-bearing deposits was 90.4% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 89.9% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $120.2 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $23.4 million and $30.8 million at December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company increased long-term borrowings by $100.0 million through an unsecured 5.95% fixed rate 60-month term loan with a third party correspondent bank. This increase in borrowings was to strategically enhance Bank capital levels in order to accommodate future growth expectations.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $90.1 million compared to $89.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $82.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 and fourth quarter of 2023 was 3.33% and 3.32%, respectively, an increase of one basis point quarter over quarter. During the first quarter of 2024, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 17 basis points while the average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 19 basis points.

The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 was driven by growth in average loans and leases held for investment. Partially mitigating this increase was a decrease in the net interest margin by 13 basis points arising from an increase in deposits combined with the increase in average cost of funds outpacing the increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $26.1 million, a decrease of $4.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, and an increase of $6.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. The primary drivers in noninterest income changes are outlined below.

The loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a loss of $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to a $356 thousand gain for the first quarter of 2023. The net loss in the loan servicing asset revaluation for the first quarter of 2024 was principally related to increasing market prepayment speeds while the net gain in the first quarter of 2023 was the result of positive movements in market premiums. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company changed its valuation techniques in the estimation of fair value for servicing assets and loans accounted for under the fair value option.

Loans accounted for under the fair value option had a net loss of $219 thousand for the first quarter of 2024, compared to a $4.5 million net loss for the first quarter of 2023. The net loss in the valuation of loans accounted for under the fair value option in the first quarter of 2024 was largely the result of the above discussed increased levels of market prepayment speeds, while the net loss in the first quarter of 2023 was driven by negative market impacts related to rising interest rates.

Equity method investment losses totaled $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, a $5.1 million increase in losses from net income of $47 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2023 and a $2.1 million increase from the net loss of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in losses for both comparative periods was principally related to heightened levels of underlying losses in several of the Company's equity method investees.

Other noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $9.8 million compared to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. This $5.7 million increase in noninterest income was largely related to a gain arising from increased fair value of equity warrant assets associated with the Company's wine & craft beverage vertical.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $78.7 million compared to $93.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $79.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. The driver for the quarter over quarter decrease was $14.6 million of impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to a new renewable energy tax credit investment. Partially offsetting the decrease in noninterest expense for both comparative periods was increased salaries and employee benefits of $3.0 million compared to fourth quarter of 2023 and $2.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Asset Quality

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company recognized net charge-offs for loans carried at historical cost of $3.2 million, compared to $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases carried at historical cost, annualized, for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, was 0.15%, 0.22% and 0.38%, respectively.

Unguaranteed nonperforming (nonaccrual) loans and leases, excluding $7.9 million and $7.2 million accounted for under the fair value option at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, increased to $43.1 million, or 0.51% of loans and leases held for investment which are carried at historical cost, at March 31, 2024, compared to $39.3 million, or 0.48%, at December 31, 2023.

Provision for Loan and Lease Credit Losses

The provision for loan and lease credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $16.4 million compared to $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $19.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. The provision expense in the first quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of specific reserve changes on individually evaluated loans and to a lesser extent continued growth of the loan and lease portfolio combined with charge-off related impacts.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $139.0 million at March 31, 2024, compared to $125.8 million at December 31, 2023. 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 1.63% and 1.53% at March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Income Tax

Income tax expense and related effective tax rate was $4.6 million and 21.8% for the first quarter of 2024, $1.3 million and 7.6% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $3.2 million and 89.0% for the first quarter of 2023, respectively. The higher level of income tax expense for the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of lower investment tax credits in 2024 as compared to the prior year. The higher level of income tax expense for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of increased pretax income during the current period while the lower effective tax rate was principally the product of discrete items in the first quarter of 2023 related to stock compensation.

This press release presents 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.
