First Quarter 2021 Operating Results

Net Interest Income

  • Net interest income was $129.7 million for first quarter 2021 compared to $123.2 million for first quarter 2020 and $132.8 million for fourth quarter 2020. The increase in net interest income from the prior year was driven by decreased funding costs offset by decreased earnings on assets due to lower yields and accretion. The slight decrease from the linked quarter was due to lower yields on loans and interest bearing deposits, offset by a decrease in interest expense due to lower rates paid on deposit products, primarily money market accounts and certificates of deposit. The quarter ended March 31, 2021 includes $6.2 million of acquired loan accretion compared to $6.8 million in fourth quarter 2020 and $9.1 million in first quarter 2020.
  • The average balance of total interest-earning assets grew by $2.8 billion and totaled $16.0 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $13.2 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and increased $548.2 million from $15.5 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase from the prior year was primarily related to higher average loan balances including Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and mortgage warehouse loans, as well as an increase in average interest-bearing deposits with correspondent banks due to significant deposit growth for the year over year period. The increase from the linked quarter is primarily due to increased average interest-bearing deposits but also due to an increase in taxable securities.
  • The yield on interest-earning assets was 3.75% for first quarter 2021 compared to 4.78% for first quarter 2020 and 3.91% for fourth quarter 2020. The overall asset yield is down for both periods due to significant growth in interest bearing cash balances this past year, as well as the addition of PPP loans and lower security yields. Average loan yield, net of all accretion decreased three (3) basis points from the linked quarter and 59 basis points from the prior year.
  • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including borrowings, was 0.67% for first quarter 2021 compared to 1.42% for first quarter 2020 and 0.73% for fourth quarter 2020. The decrease from the prior year and linked quarter is primarily due to lower rates offered on our deposit products, while the prior year change is also due to rate decreases on short-term FHLB advances and other borrowings.
  • The net interest margin was 3.29% for first quarter 2021 compared to 3.76% for first quarter 2020 and 3.42% for fourth quarter 2020. The net interest margin excluding all loan accretion was 3.13% for first quarter 2021 compared to 3.48% in first quarter 2020 and 3.24% for fourth quarter 2020. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year was primarily due to the lower asset yields, increased liquidity and a decrease of $2.9 million in loan accretion income offset by the lower cost of funds of interest bearing liabilities. The 11 basis point decrease in the net interest margin excluding all loan accretion from the linked quarter is a result of lower asset yields in addition to excess liquidity which negatively impacted the margin by eight (8) basis points, offset by slightly lower cost of funds of interest bearing liabilities for the quarter.

Noninterest Income

  • Total noninterest income increased $4.0 million compared to first quarter 2020 and decreased $1.3 million compared to fourth quarter 2020.
  • The increase from the prior year primarily reflects an increase of $5.0 million in mortgage banking revenue. The increase was offset by decreases of $491 thousand in services charges on deposits. In addition, the prior year included gains on sales of securities of $356 thousand, compared to none in the current quarter. Mortgage banking revenue was higher in first quarter 2021 compared to prior year due to increased mortgage origination and refinance activity resulting from the low interest rate environment during the year over year period. It was also impacted by continued volatility in the market during the quarter, which resulted in fair value losses on our derivative hedging instruments of $323 thousand compared to first quarter 2020 loss of $1.6 million. The decrease in service charge income relates to lower transaction volumes of non-sufficient funds that have been impacted by the pandemic.
  • The decrease from the linked quarter primarily reflects a decrease of $1.3 million in mortgage banking revenue due to decreased volumes and margins resulting from rate increases. The loss on derivative hedging instruments, as noted above, was reduced compared to fourth quarter 2020 loss of $4.3 million.

Noninterest Expense

  • Total noninterest expense increased $684 thousand compared to first quarter 2020 and decreased $114 thousand compared to fourth quarter 2020.
  • The increase in noninterest expense compared to first quarter 2020 is due primarily to an increase of $5.0 million in salaries and benefits expense offset by decreases of $2.0 million in other noninterest expense and other insignificant decreases in the following: $549 thousand in acquisition expenses, $544 thousand in professional fees, $431 thousand in occupancy expense, $373 thousand in advertising and public relations expense and $366 in other real estate expenses. The decrease in other noninterest expense is due to lower loan- and deposit-related expenses, charitable contributions, auto and travel expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.
  • The decrease from the linked quarter is primarily related to small decreases in other noninterest expense, occupancy and communications and technology offset by a $1.5 million increase in salaries and benefits.
  • Salaries and benefits expense was higher in first quarter 2021 compared to the prior year and linked quarter primarily due to additional stock grant amortization of $1.2 million on new restricted and performance stock grants, including $650 thousand of one-time catch up or accelerated vesting expense. In addition, the increase in first quarter 2021 was due to an overall increase in salaries, payroll taxes and 401k contributions due to higher headcount as well as higher signing bonuses and recruiting fees related to additions to the C&I team during first quarter 2021. Offsetting the increases is a $3.0 million increase in deferred salaries expense primarily due to the second round of PPP originations. The prior year increase is also due to increases of $1.3 million of contract labor costs due to PPP activity and $1.8 million in commissions and incentives due to higher mortgage production for the year over year period.

Provision for Credit Losses

  • On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) accounting standard replacing the incurred loss model with an expected credit loss methodology. Under CECL, the Company's provision for credit losses includes the provision for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments. Upon adoption, the Company recorded an increase of $82.0 million, or 93.3%, to its combined allowance for credit losses on loans and unfunded commitments.
  • Under CECL, the Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $2.5 million for first quarter 2021, a decrease of $10.9 million compared to $8.4 million provision expense for first quarter 2020 and a decrease of $6.4 million compared to $3.9 million provision expense for fourth quarter 2020. The decrease in first quarter 2021 provision expense was primarily related to decreased loan growth as well as changes within the commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios. Provision expense was elevated in the first and fourth quarters 2020 primarily due to general provision expense for economic factors related to COVID-19 as well as charge-offs or specific reserves taken during the respective periods.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans was $165.8 million, or 1.42% of total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, at March 31, 2021, compared to $58.4 million, or 0.53% at March 31, 2020 and compared to $87.8 million, or 0.76% at December 31, 2020. The dollar and percentage increase from the prior year and linked quarter is primarily due to the CECL transition adjustment.

Income Taxes

  • Federal income tax expense of $15.7 million was recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, an effective rate of 20.8% compared to tax expense of $10.8 million and an effective rate of 19.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and tax expense of $15.4 million and an effective rate of 20.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily a result of a tax benefit recorded due to the net operating loss carryback provision allowed through the enactment of the CARES Act. 

First Quarter 2021 Balance Sheet Highlights

Loans

  • Total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, were $11.7 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $11.6 billion at December 31, 2020 and $11.0 billion at March 31, 2020. PPP loans totaled $912.2 million and $804.4 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Loans excluding PPP loans decreased $241.0 million year over year, net of loan sales, primarily due to the economic dislocation caused by the pandemic.
  • Average mortgage warehouse purchase loans remained consistent at $1.2 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and increased from $547.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $604.3 million, or 110.4% year over year. The volumes continue to be higher than anticipated due to the sustained low mortgage rate environment. In addition, the change from the prior year is reflective of the Company's focused attention to grow the warehouse line of business.

Asset Quality

  • Adoption of the CECL standard resulted in an after-tax reduction to retained earnings of $53.9 million. This adjustment was the result of a $80.9 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans, with $13.0 million attributable to purchase credit deteriorated loans (PCD), and increasing the allowance by 92.0% to $168.7 million or 1.42% of loans held for investment. The adjustment also included an increase of $1.1 million in other liabilities related to the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures.
  • Total nonperforming assets increased to $61.0 million, or 0.34% of total assets at March 31, 2021, compared to $52.0 million or 0.29% of total assets at December 31, 2020, and increased from $31.6 million, or 0.20% of total assets at March 31, 2020.
  • The increase in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets from the linked quarter is primarily due to the addition of $10.0 million in PCD loans, which were excluded prior to CECL adoption, offset by paydowns or payoffs of $1.1 million.
  • The increase in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets from the prior year is primarily due to the PCD additions mentioned above as well as nonaccrual loan additions of a $12.6 million energy loan and a $15.1 million commercial real estate credit, offset by a $3.5 million charge-off on an energy credit and a $1.1 million commercial loan charge-off. In addition, nonperforming assets were reduced by net dispositions of $2.5 million in other real estate owned properties.
  • Charge-offs were 0.01% annualized in the first quarter 2021 compared to 0.11% annualized in the linked quarter and 0.05% annualized in the prior year quarter. Charge-offs were elevated in fourth quarter 2020 due to a $3.5 million energy loan charge-off which had been fully reserved in prior periods.

Deposits, Borrowings and Liquidity

  • Total deposits were $14.8 billion at March 31, 2021 compared to $14.4 billion at December 31, 2020 and compared to $11.9 billion at March 31, 2020. The increase in deposits from the linked quarter is primarily due to organic growth of approximately $405 million or 11.4% annualized for the quarter while deposits for the year over year period increased $2.9 billion, or 24.6%.
  • Total borrowings (other than junior subordinated debentures) were $683.4 million at March 31, 2021, a decrease of $3.8 million from December 31, 2020 and a decrease of $469.5 million from March 31, 2020. The linked quarter change reflects a $4.0 million reduction in borrowings against the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit with an unrelated commercial bank. The change from prior year reflects the reduction of short-term FHLB advances, as well as proceeds of $127.5 million, net of issuance costs, related to subordinated debentures issued in third quarter 2020 and $2.5 million in borrowings against the Company's unsecured revolving line of credit with an unrelated commercial bank.

Capital

  • The Company continues to be well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At March 31, 2021, our estimated common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios were 10.94%, 9.01%, 11.36% and 14.13%, respectively, compared to 10.33%, 9.12%, 10.74%, and 13.32%, respectively, at December 31, 2020 and 9.95%, 9.67%, 10.38%, and 12.05%, respectively at March 31, 2020.
  • The Company has elected to adopt the three-year transition option related to the CECL $53.9 million cumulative-effect reduction to retained earnings pursuant to the Federal Reserve Board’s final rule issued in February 2019. Such deferral has been applied in the March 31, 2021 capital ratios presented.

Subsequent Events

The Company is required, under generally accepted accounting principles, to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 on Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of March 31, 2021 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

The Company urges you to consider all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors carefully in evaluating all such forward-looking statements made by the Company. As a result of these and other matters, including changes in facts, assumptions not being realized or other factors, the actual results relating to the subject matter of any forward-looking statement may differ materially from the anticipated results expressed or implied in that forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement made in this prospectus or made by the Company in any report, filing, document or information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. The Company believes that these assumptions or bases have been chosen in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, the Company cautions you that assumptions as to future occurrences or results almost always vary from actual future occurrences or results, and the differences between assumptions and actual occurrences and results can be material. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures and ratios include “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings,” “tangible book value,” “tangible book value per common share,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “adjusted net interest margin,” “return on tangible equity,” “adjusted return on average assets” and “adjusted return on average equity” and are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

We believe that these measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however we acknowledge that our financial measures have a number of limitations relative to GAAP financial measures. Certain non-GAAP financial measures exclude items of income, expenditures, expenses, assets, or liabilities, including provisions for credit losses and the effect of goodwill, other intangible assets and income from accretion on acquired loans arising from purchase accounting adjustments, that we believe cause certain aspects of our results of operations or financial condition to be not indicative of our primary operating results. All of these items significantly impact our financial statements. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our adjustments are not necessarily consistent with the items that our peers may exclude from their results of operations and key financial measures and therefore may limit the comparability of similarly named financial measures and ratios. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statements tables.
