Key developments for the recent quarter are described below:

Operations: Commercial banking expansion remains a strategic focus with seven commercial bankers added to the team in this quarter, for a total of 16 this year. This has contributed to a record loan pipeline of $628.6 million as of June 30, 2021.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased by $412,000 to $74.0 million from $73.6 million in the prior linked quarter, as non-interest bearing deposits grew by $372.2 million year-to-date, reflecting the continued trend in improving deposit quality.
Expense Management: Operating expenses were $51.7 million and core operating expenses were $51.2 million, which includes the additional commercial banking hires, partially offset by savings related to four branch consolidations completed in April 2021. Since 2015, the Bank has consolidated 57 branch locations. Management will discuss the commercial banking expansion plans, digital banking investments, as well as expense management strategies in more detail at the Company's previously announced Investor Day scheduled to take place at the Administrative Offices in Red Bank, New Jersey, on August 5, 2021.
Interchange Fees: Under the temporary relief provisions of a joint rule published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank received relief from Dodd-Frank limitations on debit card interchange fees collected by banks with assets of $10 billion or more. The Bank will remain exempt from limits on debit card interchange fees until June 30, 2022.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher D. Maher, commented on the Company's results, "We are pleased with our commercial banking expansion which is reflected in the second quarter loan pipeline of $628.6 million, a record level." Mr. Maher added, "A few weeks ago, the Bank successfully completed the conversion of our core operating system with hundreds of thousands of customer accounts transferred to a new platform. The generational core systems upgrade will enhance our operational functionality and efficiencies, improve the customer experience and services, and enable the integration of customer accounts from our New York operations, previously Country Bank. We appreciate the tireless efforts of our employees and the patience of our customers as we completed the pivotal transition to the new core system."

The Company's Board of Directors declared its ninety-eighth consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.17 per share will be paid on August 20, 2021 to common stockholders of record on August 9, 2021. The Board previously declared a quarterly cash dividend on preferred stock of $0.4375 per depositary share, representing 1/40th interest in the Series A Preferred Stock. This dividend will be paid on August 16, 2021 to preferred stockholders of record on July 30, 2021.

Results of Operations

Net income was favorably impacted by $78,000, net of tax, and adversely impacted by $3.7 million, net of tax, of non-core operations for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net income was favorably impacted by $5.3 million, net of tax, and adversely impacted by $14.1 million, net of tax, of non-core operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Core earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $29.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, an increase from core earnings of $22.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period. Core earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $55.9 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, an increase from core earnings of $49.3 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, for the corresponding prior year period. Net income was favorably impacted by $5.2 million, net of tax, of non-core operations for the prior linked quarter. Core earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased from $26.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the prior linked quarter.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to $74.0 million and $147.6 million, respectively, as compared to $78.7 million and $158.3 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods, reflecting a reduction in net interest margin, partly offset by an increase in interest-earning assets. Average interest-earning assets increased by $502.5 million and $791.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods, primarily concentrated in excess balance sheet liquidity. Average loans receivable, net of allowance for loan credit losses, decreased by $506.7 million and $313.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same prior year periods. Net interest margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to 2.89% and 2.91%, respectively, from 3.24% and 3.37%, respectively, for the same prior year periods. The net interest margin compression was primarily due to the excess balance sheet liquidity and the lower interest rate environment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.50% and 0.55%, respectively, from 0.92% and 0.98%, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) was 0.27% and 0.32% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 0.57% and 0.63%, respectively, for the same prior year periods.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $412,000, as compared to the prior linked quarter, while the net interest margin decreased to 2.89%, compared to 2.93%. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees, the net interest margin decreased to 2.73% from 2.75%. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.25% from 3.38% in the prior linked quarter, primarily due to lower purchase accounting accretion and the impact of the lower interest rate environment on loan originations and securities purchases. The total cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.50% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to 0.60% in the prior linked quarter, due to repricing of deposit costs and maturities of higher yielding time deposits.

Benefit/Provision for Credit Losses

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the benefit for credit loss expense was $6.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, as compared to a provision for credit loss expense of $9.6 million and $19.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods, and a benefit for credit loss expense of $620,000 in the prior linked quarter. The benefit for credit loss expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was significantly influenced by improved economic forecasts, including stronger employment levels and GDP growth, combined with stabilizing trends in the Bank's asset quality.

Net loan charge-offs were $224,000 for the quarter and net loan recoveries were $56,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to net loan recoveries of $232,000 and net loan charge-offs of $922,000 for the corresponding prior year periods, respectively, and net loan recoveries of $280,000 for the prior linked quarter. The six months ended June 30, 2020 included $949,000 in charge-offs on the sale of higher risk residential loans. Non-performing loans totaled $31.7 million at June 30, 2021, as compared to $34.1 million at March 31, 2021 and $21.0 million at June 30, 2020.

Non-interest Income

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, other income increased to $11.8 million and $32.6 million, respectively, as compared to $11.4 million and $25.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. Other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included non-core operations of $576,000 and $8.9 million, respectively, related to net gain on equity investments. Excluding this item, the decrease in other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily due to a decrease in commercial loan swap income of $2.4 million, as a result of lower activity, partially offset by increases in bankcard services of $850,000 due to lower card activity in the prior period as a result of the pandemic, fees and service charges of $556,000, and gain on sale of loans of $523,000.

Excluding non-core operations, the decrease in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily due to a decrease in commercial loan swap income of $5.4 million, as a result of lower activity, partially offset by increases in gain on sale of loans of $2.3 million and bankcard services of $1.4 million due to lower card activity in the prior period as a result of the pandemic.

Excluding non-core operations, other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $1.3 million, as compared to the prior linked quarter, primarily due to decreases in commercial loan swap income of $1.0 million, as a result of lower activity, and gain on sale of loans of $637,000.

Non-interest Expense

Operating expenses decreased to $51.7 million and $103.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $55.9 million and $118.7 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 included $472,000 and $1.9 million, respectively, of net expenses related to non-core operations. Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included $4.9 million and $16.0 million, respectively, of net expenses related to non-core operations. Excluding non-core operations, the $123,000 increase in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $2.0 million, primarily relating to higher benefit costs, partly offset by decreases in other operating expenses of $853,000, and equipment of $676,000.

Excluding non-core operations, the $1.3 million decrease in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the corresponding prior year period, was primarily due to decreases in other operating expense of $1.3 million and equipment expense of $1.0 million, partly offset by an increase in federal deposit insurance and regulatory assessments of $1.2 million.

Excluding non-core operations, operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, increased $907,000 as compared to the prior linked quarter. The change was due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense of $1.5 million, partly offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance and regulatory assessments of $765,000.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes was $10.1 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $5.9 million and $9.9 million for the same prior year periods, respectively, and $10.7 million for the prior linked quarter. The effective tax rate was 24.8% and 24.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 24.0% and 22.0% for the same prior year periods, respectively, and 24.6% for the prior linked quarter. The higher effective tax rate for the current year period, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the impact of a New Jersey tax code change and a higher allocation of taxable income to New York.
