I want to thank our employees for their dedication to helping our customers, communities, and shareholders.”

Alberto J.

Our net interest margin increased and thanks to our bankers and team members, we continued to experience healthy growth on our balance sheet. While the loan and lease portfolio continues to perform well, we believe our consistently strong underwriting and credit risk management practices prepare us well for changes in the business cycle.”

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

The following table presents the average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Net interest income and margin are adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on a tax-equivalent basis using tax rates effective as of the end of the period:

The following table presents net interest income for the periods indicated:

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $68.9 million, an increase of $7.2 million, or 11.8%, from the second quarter of 2022, driven mainly by the rising interest rate environment.

The increase in net interest income was primarily due to:

• An increase of $13.2 million in interest income and fees on loans and leases due to higher yields and growth in the originated loan and lease portfolio.

Partially offset by:

• An increase of $3.8 million in deposit interest expense due to higher rates paid on deposits and growth in interest-bearing deposits; and
• An increase of $2.1 million in interest expense on other borrowings due to rates paid on higher average balances of FHLB advances.

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 4.05%, an increase of 28 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2022. Total net accretion income on acquired loans contributed nine basis points to the net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 compared to eight basis points for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of one basis point.

The average cost of total deposits was 0.43% for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 27 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2022. Average non-interest-bearing demand deposits were 39.7% of average total deposits for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 41.3% during the second quarter of 2022.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan and lease losses was $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.7 million compared to $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in provision during the third quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by lower growth in the originated loan and lease portfolio, which reduced the impact of qualitative factors surrounding the macroeconomic environment and rising interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by increases in specific reserves on impaired loans.

Non-interest Income

The following table presents the components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $12.0 million, a decrease of $2.2 million or 15.3%, compared to $14.2 million for the second quarter of 2022.

The decrease in total non-interest income was primarily due to:

• A decrease of $4.4 million in net gains on sales of loans due to lower volume of loan sales and lower average premiums.

Partially offset by:

• A decrease of $2.3 million in the downward valuation adjustment to the loan servicing asset, due to changes in discount rates and lower prepayments compared to the prior quarter.

During the third quarter of 2022, we sold $75.4 million of U.S. government guaranteed loans compared to $118.5 million during the second quarter of 2022.

Non-interest Expense

The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the periods indicated:

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2022 was $46.2 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 5.5%, from $43.8 million for the second quarter of 2022.

The increase in total non-interest expense was primarily due to:

• An increase of $1.9 million in salaries and employee benefits due to increased headcount and higher commissions;
• An increase of $913,000 in legal, audit and other professional fees related to higher second quarter reimbursements; and
• An increase of $670,000 in other non-interest expense mainly related to new advertising campaigns.

Partially offset by:

• A decrease of $490,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, net, due to the impact from branch consolidations.

Our efficiency ratio was 55.11% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 55.29% for the second quarter of 2022.

INCOME TAXES

We recorded income tax expense of $7.9 million during the third quarter of 2022, compared to $5.8 million during the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate was 25.7% and 22.3% for the third quarter of 2022 and second quarter of 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is a result of tax benefits related to share-based compensation taken during the second quarter.

STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets were $7.3 billion at September 30, 2022, an increase of $145.9 million compared to $7.1 billion at June 30, 2022.

The current quarter increase was primarily due to:

• An increase in net loans and leases of $105.2 million primarily due to growth in originated commercial and industrial loans and the lease financing receivables portfolio.

Partially offset by:

• A decrease in securities available-for-sale of $91.5 million primarily due to changes in market value.

The following table shows our allocation of the originated, acquired impaired, and acquired non-impaired loans and leases at the dates indicated:

ASSET QUALITY

Non-Performing Assets

The following table sets forth the amounts of non-performing loans and leases (excluding acquired impaired), other real estate owned, and accruing troubled debt restructured loans at the dates indicated:

Variances in non-performing assets were:

• Non-performing loans and leases were $35.2 million at September 30, 2022, an increase of $1.2 million from $33.9 million at June 30, 2022, primarily due to one new conventional non-performing relationship.
• Other real estate owned was $4.4 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $347,000 from $4.7 million at June 30, 2022, primarily due to the sale of one property.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The following table presents the balance and activity within the allowance for loan and lease losses for the periods indicated:

The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment increased to 1.23% at September 30, 2022 compared to 1.21% at June 30, 2022, primarily due to higher provision to net charge-offs for the third quarter 2022.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on the recognition of credit losses, otherwise known as "CECL", which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses. In November 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date of the standard for smaller reporting companies, which includes emerging growth companies. The Company will adopt the standard on December 31, 2022. The new guidance may result in an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses, which will reflect the requirement to include expected losses on purchased credit-impaired loans. The extent of the increase will depend on the composition of the loan and lease portfolio, as well as the economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

Net Charge-Offs

Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2022 were $2.0 million, or 0.15% of average loans and leases, on an annualized basis, a decrease of $973,000 compared to $2.9 million, or 0.24% of average loans and leases, during the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $484,000 from $1.5 million or 0.13% of average loans and leases from the comparable period a year ago.

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2022 included $1.9 million in the unguaranteed portion of U.S. government guaranteed loans, while net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 and third quarter of 2021 included $2.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in the unguaranteed portion of U.S. government guaranteed loans.

Deposits and Other Liabilities

The following table presents the composition of deposits at the dates indicated:

Total deposits increased to $5.6 billion at September 30, 2022 compared to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2022. Non-interest-bearing deposits were 38.2% and 40.5% of total deposits at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

The increase in deposits in the current quarter was primarily due to:

• An increase in money market demand accounts of $162.5 million, due to increases in consumer deposits; and
• An increase in interest bearing checking accounts of $80.3 million, principally due to increases in commercial deposits.

Total borrowings and other liabilities were $917.6 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $60.6 million from $978.2 million at June 30, 2022, primarily driven by decreases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity was $747.6 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $17.6 million from $765.2 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Under its stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 174,249 shares of its common stock at an average price of $23.84 per share during the third quarter of 2022.
