NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2018 was a record $224.7 million, an 11.2% increase from $202.1 million for the second quarter of 2017. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, was 4.66% for the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of 33 basis points from 4.99% for the second quarter of 2017. Average earning assets were $19.4 billion for the second quarter of 2018, a 17.7% increase from $16.5 billion for the second quarter of 2017.

Net interest income for the first six months of 2018 was $442.4 million, a 12.6% increase from $392.9 million for the first six months of 2017. Net interest margin, on a FTE basis, was 4.68% for the first six months of 2018, a decrease of 25 basis points from 4.93% for the first six months of 2017. Average earning assets were $19.2 billion for the first six months of 2018, a 17.3% increase from $16.3 billion for the first six months of 2017.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2018 decreased 14.0% to $27.4 million compared to $31.8 million for the second quarter of 2017. Non-interest income for the first six months of 2018 decreased 7.9% to $56.1 million compared to $60.9 million for the first six months of 2017. The Bank’s service charges on deposit accounts declined from $11.76 million for the second quarter of 2017 to $9.70 million for the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to the Durbin Amendment’s impact on the Bank’s interchange revenue effective as of July 1, 2017. The Bank’s mortgage lending income declined from $1.91 million in the second quarter of 2017 to effectively none in the second quarter of 2018. This was a result of the Bank’s decision in December 2017 to exit the secondary market mortgage lending business and the substantial wind down of that business in the first quarter of 2018.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 increased 6.3% to $89.1 million compared to $83.8 million for the second quarter of 2017. Non-interest expense for the first six months of 2018 increased 12.8% to $182.9 million compared to $162.1 million for the first six months of 2017. Non-interest expense for both the second quarter and the first six months of 2018 included approximately $0.6 million related to the pending name change that will be effective on July 16, 2018 and the related strategic rebranding initiatives.

The Bank’s efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income FTE and non-interest income) for the second quarter of 2018 was 35.2% compared to 35.3% for the second quarter of 2017. The Bank’s efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2018 was 36.5% compared to 35.2% for the first six months of 2017.

The Bank’s annualized net charge-off ratio for non-purchased loans was 0.05% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 0.03% for the second quarter of 2017 and 0.04% for both the first six months of 2018 and the first six months of 2017.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Bank uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share, total tangible common stockholders’ equity and the ratio of total tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets, as important measures of the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on its tangible capital invested by its shareholders. These measures typically adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets. Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information which contributes to a proper understanding of the financial results and capital levels of the Bank. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
