Key developments for the recent quarter are described below:

  • Excess Liquidity: The Company maintained elevated levels of on-balance sheet cash and funding availability, which represented 260% of adjusted uninsured deposits2 at June 30, 2023. Deposits increased $165.2 million during the quarter, which included a shift from non-maturity deposits to time deposits.
  • Asset Quality: Continued strong asset quality as criticized assets, non-performing loans, and loans 30 to 89 days past due as a percent of total loans receivable were 1.18%, 0.23%, and 0.03%, respectively, at June 30, 2023. Net charge-off activity continues to remain at zero percent of total average loans on an annualized basis.
  • Strong Capital: Capital ratios remained above “well-capitalized” levels, including the Company’s common equity tier 1 capital, which increased 19 bps from the prior quarter, to 10.21% at June 30, 2023. Book value and tangible book value per share were $27.37 and $17.723, respectively, both up $0.30 from the prior quarter.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher D. Maher, commented on the Company’s results, “Our current quarter results were impacted by continued prudent balance sheet measures to increase liquidity, preserve our deposits, and continue supporting our existing banking relationships. We are optimistic that the pace of margin compression is behind us, but the outlook is uncertain should rates and competition remain elevated for longer. Although profitability decreased, our credit quality remains stellar, we grew capital, and remain well positioned to manage through any market uncertainty.” Mr. Maher added, “Our strong balance sheet will serve as a catalyst for our strategic initiatives and investments to improve our operating expenses. These initiatives are anticipated to improve performance as early as the fourth quarter and should enhance returns in future periods.”

The Company’s Board of Directors declared its 106th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share will be paid on August 18, 2023 to common stockholders of record on August 7, 2023. The Board 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 15, 2023 to preferred stockholders of record on July 31, 2023.

Results of Operations

The current quarter results were impacted by the following matters. Net interest income and cost of funds were adversely impacted by shifts to higher cost time deposits, repricing of government deposits, and maintaining excess liquidity on balance sheet, which outpaced the increase in interest-earning assets, driving an increase in deposit betas to 29%4. Total operating expenses included $580,000 of real estate charges on assets held for sale and $400,000 of talent acquisition retainers, which are not expected to reoccur.

4 Deposit beta measures the change in the interest rates paid for interest-bearing deposit accounts versus the change in the federal funds target rate. Represents the deposit beta for total deposits (interest-bearing and non-interest bearing) for the current rate cycle (since December 31, 2021).

Net Interest Income and Margin

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Net interest income increased to $92.1 million, from $90.8 million, reflecting a net impact of higher interest rates and to a lesser extent, an increase in average interest-earning assets.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.02% from 3.29%. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.05% and 0.17% for the respective three months, net interest margin decreased to 2.97% from 3.12%. Net interest margin decreased primarily due to the increase in cost of funds outpacing that of average interest earning assets in the current interest rate environment.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $1.17 billion for the three months, primarily driven by organic commercial loan growth, which increased $634.2 million. The average yield for interest-earning assets increased to 4.91% from 3.60%.

The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.41%, from 0.42% due to higher cost of deposits noted above and higher cost Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 1.52% from 0.18%.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Net interest income increased to $190.9 million, from $175.0 million, reflecting a net impact of higher interest rates and to a lesser extent, an increase in average interest-earning assets.

Net interest margin decreased to 3.17% from 3.24%. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.04% and 0.15% for the respective six months, net interest margin increased to 3.13% from 3.09%.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $1.22 billion. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.10% from 0.39%. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 1.21% from 0.17%.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. March 31, 2023

Net interest income decreased by $6.7 million, reflecting a decrease in net interest margin to 3.02%, from 3.34%, as the increase in cost of funds outpaced the increase of average interest earning assets. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.05% and 0.04% for the respective three months, net interest margin decreased to 2.97%, from 3.30%. The compression in net interest margin was primarily attributable to higher cost of deposits noted above, a mix-shift to higher cost time deposits, and the impact of excess on-balance sheet liquidity built in the prior quarter.

Average interest-earning assets increased by $240.0 million, primarily due to maintaining excess liquidity during the quarter and, to a lesser extent, commercial loan growth. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased to 4.91%, from 4.68%. The total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.41%, from 1.76%, and the total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 1.52% from 0.88%, primarily due to higher cost of deposits and a mix-shift to higher cost time deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses

Provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, as compared to $1.3 million and $3.1 million for the corresponding prior year periods, and $3.0 million in the prior linked quarter. The provision for credit losses for the current quarter reflected an increase to the allowance for loan credit losses, primarily related to commercial real estate, which was driven by sustained macroeconomic headwinds.

Net loan charge-offs were $123,000 and $76,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Net loan charge-offs were $9,000 and net loan recoveries were $83,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Net loan recoveries were $47,000 in the prior linked quarter. Refer to “Asset Quality” section for further discussion.

Non-interest Income

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Other income increased to $8.9 million, as compared to $7.5 million. Other income was adversely impacted by non-core operations of $559,000 and $8.1 million, for the respective quarters, primarily related to net losses on preferred stock equity investments.

Excluding non-core operations, other income decreased $6.1 million. The primary drivers were decreases in commercial loan swap income of $2.3 million and fees and service charges of $2.0 million, which were adversely impacted by the current interest rate environment resulting in lower swap volume and mortgage activity. Bankcard services revenue decreased $1.8 million due to the Durbin amendment, which became effective for the Company on July 1, 2022.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Other income decreased to $11.0 million, as compared to $16.4 million. Other income was adversely impacted by non-core operations of $8.1 million and $10.9 million, for the respective periods, primarily related to net losses on preferred stock equity investments. The current year’s non-core operations also included $5.3 million of losses related to the sale of investments in the first quarter.

Excluding non-core operations, other income decreased $8.2 million. The primary drivers were decreases in commercial loan swap income on lower volume of $4.4 million, bankcard services revenue of $3.4 million, and income from bank owned life insurance of $1.1 million on lower claims.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. March 31, 2023

Other income in the prior linked quarter included non-core operations of $7.5 million primarily related to net losses on preferred stock equity investments. Excluding non-core operations, other income decreased by $84,000.

Non-interest Expense

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Operating expenses increased to $62.9 million, as compared to $58.7 million. Operating expenses were adversely impacted by $742,000 of non-core operations in the prior year period.

Excluding non-core operations, operating expenses increased by $5.0 million. This was due to increases in professional fees of $2.6 million related to the ongoing investments to improve profitability and operational efficiencies, and compensation and benefits expense of $1.1 million primarily related to inflation, annual merit-related compensation increases and higher medical costs. The current quarter also included increases to federal deposit insurance and regulatory assessments of $677,000 due to new assessment rates that went into effect on January 1, 2023, and real estate charges on assets held for sale of $580,000.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 vs. June 30, 2022

Operating expenses increased to $124.2 million, as compared to $116.2 million. Operating expenses for the periods were adversely impacted by $92,000 and $3.1 million of non-core operations, respectively.

Excluding non-core operations, operating expenses increased by $11.1 million. This was due to increases in professional fees of $4.4 million and compensation and benefits expense of $4.3 million. The drivers of expenses for the three months ended were also the drivers for the six months ended. Additionally, other operating expenses included higher expenses of $580,000 and $427,000 related to real estate charges on assets held for sale and title search fees, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 vs. March 31, 2023

Excluding non-core operations of $92,000 in the prior linked quarter, operating expenses increased $1.7 million primarily due to increases in other operating expense of $898,000, related to real estate charges of $580,000, and federal deposit insurance and regulatory assessments of $716,000, primarily due to the one-time recovery of $661,000 for historical overpayments which was recognized in the prior linked quarter.

Income Tax Expense

The provision for income taxes was $9.0 million and $17.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $8.9 million and $16.9 million for the same prior year periods, and $8.7 million for the prior linked quarter.

Total stockholders’ equity increased to $1.63 billion, as compared to $1.59 billion, reflecting net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a net increase in the fair market value of available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax, which decreased accumulated other comprehensive loss by $5.6 million.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reported amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, which consists of reported net income excluding non-core operations and in some instances excluding income taxes and provision for credit losses, and reporting equity and asset amounts excluding intangible assets, goodwill or preferred stock, which can vary from period to period, provides a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company’s financial condition and, therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other companies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation table at the end of this document for details on the earnings impact of these items.
