4Q21 Highlights

Net Interest Income of $104.2 million compared to $102.7 million in 3Q21 and $98.7 million in 4Q20. Compared to 3Q21, 4Q21 NII reflected level interest income from loans and cash, increased income from investment securities, and lower cost of deposits and borrowings.

Loans Held for Investment totaled $6.40 billion at 12/31/21 compared to $6.41 billion at 9/30/21 and $6.66 billion at 12/31/20. The 4Q21 net decrease of $8.3 million included a reduction of $65.5 million from the previously mentioned decision to sell past due loans.

New Loan Origination totaled $632.7 million compared to $556.2 million in 3Q21 and $485.3 million in 4Q20. 4Q21 reflected continued high levels of auto, commercial, and mortgage lending, and increased demand for consumer loans.

Total Interest Expense was $8.4 million compared to $9.4 million in 3Q21 and $14.3 million in 4Q20. 4Q21 reflected lower cost of core deposits (26 bps vs. 30 bps in 3Q21 and 53 bps in 4Q20) due to generally lower rates and CD maturities. 4Q21 also reflected lower borrowings with the early termination of $33.3 million in 2.98% FHLB advances.

Customer Deposits totaled $8.59 billion at 12/31/21 compared to $9.23 billion at 9/30/21 and $8.37 billion at 12/31/20. The $641.3 million sequential decline from 3Q21 reflected withdrawals at year-end by government-related and institutional commercial clients, partially offset by increased retail deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses of $7.2 million included $9.7 million for the previously mentioned decision to sell past due loans and $2.7 million in net reserve releases. This compares to a net benefit of $5.0 million in 3Q21 and a net expense of $14.2 million in 4Q20. 4Q21’s net charge-offs of $32.5 million primarily related to the decision to sell past due loans.

Banking and Financial Service Revenues were $36.7 million compared to $32.0 million in 3Q21 and $34.0 million in 4Q20. 4Q21 reflected higher levels of banking service, mortgage banking activity, and wealth management, which included $4.3 million in annual insurance commissions.
