    Loans and Leases

    At June 30, 2021, the total loan and lease portfolio was $6.51 billion, 15.6% above its level a year ago and 0.4% below its level at March 31, 2021. Compared to the first quarter of 2021, loans and leases held for investment decreased $15.3 million, or 0.3%, to $5.44 billion while loans held for sale decreased $11.8 million, or 1.1%, to $1.06 billion. Average loans and leases were $6.58 billion during the second quarter of 2021 compared to $6.35 billion during the first quarter of 2021. Excluding PPP, the total loan and lease portfolio increased by $1.64 billion, or 41.7%, compared the second quarter of 2020 and $490.6 million, or 9.6% compared to the first quarter of 2021.

    The total loan and lease portfolio of $6.51 billion is comprised of $927.3 million of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, net of deferred fees and costs, at June 30, 2021, which are carried at historical cost classified as held for investment. The unguaranteed percentage of the total loan and lease portfolio is significantly influenced by the inclusion of PPP loans carrying a 100% government guarantee. The total loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, of $6.51 billion and $6.53 billion, respectively, was comprised of 44.9% and 41.6% of unguaranteed loans and leases, respectively.

    Loan and lease originations totaled $1.15 billion during the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $26.5 million, or 2.2%, from the first quarter of 2021. Excluding PPP loans in each quarter, loan and lease originations totaled $1.11 billion for the second quarter of 2021, a 65.7% increase from the prior quarter and a 159.0% increase from the second quarter of 2020.

    Deposits

    Total deposits increased to $6.52 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $647.5 million compared to June 30, 2020, and an increase of $204.8 million compared to March 31, 2021.

    The increase in total deposits from the prior quarter provides support for the growth in the loan and lease portfolio, excluding PPP loans, and origination activities during the second quarter of 2021. Average total interest-bearing deposits for the second quarter of 2021 increased $482 million, or 8.2%, to $6.35 billion, compared to $5.86 billion for the first quarter of 2021. The ratio of average total loans and leases to average interest-bearing deposits was 103.7% for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 108.2% for the first quarter of 2021. The ratio is influenced by average PPP loan volume and the use of the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) classified as long-term borrowings.

    Borrowings

    Borrowings totaled $1.01 billion at June 30, 2021, compared to $1.72 billion and $1.47 billion at June 30, 2020, and March 31, 2021, respectively. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company decreased borrowings by $453.5 million primarily by reducing the outstanding balance in the Federal Reserve’s PPPLF to $961.0 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $1.41 billion at March 31, 2021. The PPPLF has a 100% advance rate equal to the principal amount of PPP loans pledged as security and carries an interest rate of 0.35%, and loans financed under the PPPLF have a neutral impact on regulatory leverage capital ratios.

    Net Interest Income

    Net interest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $71.5 million compared to $40.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $70.0 million for the first quarter of 2021.

    The increase for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 was driven by the significant growth in the total loan and lease portfolios. The increase in net interest income comparing these two periods was also driven by fees earned through the forgiveness of PPP loans and the reduction in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities from 1.65% for the second quarter of 2020 to 0.86% for the second quarter of 2021.

    The net interest margin decreased from the first quarter of 2021 by 18 basis points, from 3.81% to 3.63%. The yield on interest earnings assets for the second quarter of 2021 decreased 34 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2021 and was primarily driven by a reduction in fees recognized on PPP loans. The reduction in asset yield was mitigated by the 16 basis point reduction in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.02% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, to 0.86% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The reduction in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities compared to the first quarter of 2021 was largely the result of the maturation and repricing of the certificates of deposit portfolio.

    Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $70.1 million compared to $22.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $31.1 million for the first quarter of 2021. The primary drivers behind these increased levels of noninterest income are outlined below.

    The largest driver of the increase in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2021 arose from equity security investment gains of $44.3 million, principally comprised of $44.1 million associated with the Company’s investment in Greenlight. This second quarter gain in Greenlight was the result of an increase in the observable fair market value of the Company’s investment through an arm’s length sale of a portion of the Company’s shares in the investee.  

    The loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a loss of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 and a gain of $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in the loan servicing asset valuation from the prior quarter was largely the result of amortization of the guaranteed serviced loan portfolio.

    The Company’s net gains on sales of loans increased $4.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and increased $5.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2020. The average net gain on guaranteed loan sales increased to $114.8 thousand per million sold for the second quarter of 2021 versus $83.9 thousand per million sold for the first quarter of 2021. The quarter over quarter increase in premiums is largely the result of stimulus associated with the SBA program which removes the ongoing guarantee fee, typically paid by the purchaser, on loans originated under the Economic Aid Act. The volume of guaranteed loans sold decreased to $130.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $136.7 million sold in the prior quarter. The average net gain on guaranteed loan sales was $66.8 thousand per million sold for the second quarter of 2020, largely influenced by pandemic influenced market conditions.

    The net gain on loans accounted for under the fair value option totaled $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2021, a $2.2 million increase compared to the net loss for the second quarter of 2020 and a $3.1 million decrease compared to the net gain of $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in valuation of loans accounted for under the fair value option over the second quarter of 2020 was positively impacted by continued improvement in market conditions while the decrease over the first quarter was largely related to the amortization of the portfolio.

    Equity method investments loss arising from losses experienced by several of the Company’s financial technology investees totaled $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a loss of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. Compared to the second quarter of 2020 the loss was largely unchanged.

    Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $57.6 million compared to $48.1 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $58.3 million for the first quarter of 2021.Salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $32.9 million compared to $30.8 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in salaries and employee benefits for both periods was principally related to continued investment in human resources to support strategic and growth initiatives.  

    Primary components of the change in salaries and employee benefits as compared to the second quarter of 2020 were $3.2 million in increased salaries and benefits combined with the vesting of 178 thousand restricted stock unit awards during the second quarter of 2021 with market price conditions that accelerated recognition of both stock compensation expense and payroll tax expense by a combined $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease of $3.0 million largely related to the 2020 performance bonus pool that was available to all employees other than executive officers.  

    Primary components of the change in salaries and employee benefits as compared to the first quarter of 2021 was an additional bonus accrual of $4.0 million for all employees other than executive officers and executive management arising from the earnings associated with gains from the Company’s investment in Greenlight, partially offset by a decrease in payroll taxes and stock expense of $2.2 million largely related to vesting of approximately 398 thousand restricted stock unit awards that vested in the first quarter of 2021.

    Travel expense for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $1.5 million compared to $364 thousand for the second quarter of 2020 and $659 thousand for the first quarter of 2021. Travel expenses increased to support the growth in loan origination volume and customer base as travel restrictions have lessened in recent months.

    Professional services expense increased to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 and decreased from $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year was largely driven by an increase in legal fees.

    Data processing expense for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $4.2 million compared to $2.8 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $3.9 million for the first quarter of 2021. The $1.5 million increase over the second quarter of 2020 was principally due to enhanced investments in the Company’s internal software technology resources.

    The decrease in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 was also the result of impairment charges of $3.1 million related to renewable energy tax credit investments of $3.9 million in the first quarter of 2021.  As mentioned in the prior quarter, investments of this type generate a return primarily through the realization of income tax credits and other benefits; accordingly, impairment of the investment amount is recognized in conjunction with the realization of related tax benefits. This investment generated a federal investment tax credit of $3.4 million which is included in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Investments of this nature are part of the Company’s ongoing initiative to promote renewable energy sources.

    Asset Quality

    During the second quarter of 2021, the Company recognized net charge-offs for loans carried at historical cost of $2.4 million compared to net recoveries of $984 thousand in the first quarter of 2021 and net charge-offs $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2020. Net charge-offs (recoveries) as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases carried at historical cost, annualized, for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, was 0.21% and (0.09)%, respectively.

    Unguaranteed nonperforming (nonaccrual) loans and leases, excluding $5.5 million and $5.8 million accounted for under the fair value option at June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively, decreased to $22.5 million, or 0.48% of loans and leases held for investment which are carried at historical cost, at June 30, 2021, compared to $24.7 million, or 0.53%, at March 31, 2021.

    The unguaranteed exposure of foreclosed assets decreased $486 thousand to $455 thousand at June 30, 2021, compared to March 31, 2021. Foreclosed assets decreased $2.4 million to $1.8 million at June 30, 2021, compared to March 31, 2021.

    Provision for (Recovery of) Loan and Lease Credit Losses

    The provision for loan and lease credit losses for the second quarter of 2021 totaled $7.8 million compared to a provision of $10.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and a recovery of $873 thousand for the first quarter of 2021. The provision expense in the second quarter was primarily the result of the growing portfolio of loans and leases and the influence of current credit performance.

    The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $57.8 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $52.4 million at March 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost was 1.23% and 1.12% at June 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost continues to be heavily influenced by the 100% guaranteed PPP loans.

    Income Tax

    Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2021 was $12.6 million compared to an income tax expense in the second quarter of 2020 of $1.5 million and $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 of 16.5% is principally the result of the above renewable energy tax credit investments and an income tax benefits arising from the vesting of stock unit awards, as the fair value of these awards exceeded the total compensation cost recognized by the Company for book purposes.

    The increase in the income tax expense for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the income tax expense for the first quarter of 2021 was primarily the product of an increase of $32.6 million in income before taxes.

    Shareholders’ Equity

    Total shareholders’ equity increased by $67.0 million, or 11.3%, during the second quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to net income, partially offset by cash paid for employee tax obligations in lieu of stock for settlement of vested restricted stock unit awards discussed above. Total cash paid in lieu of stock during the second quarter was $5.7 million.

    During the second quarter of 2021, 181,926 shares of Class B common stock (non-voting) were converted to Class A common stock (voting) in connection with private sales. The conversion decreased the value of Class B common stock (non-voting) and increased the value of Class A common stock (voting) by $1.9 million.

    This press release presents the non-GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP financial measures are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company’s business for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
