Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $96.2 million and net interest margin was 3.29% compared to $92.8 million and 3.24%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $3.4 million increase, or 3.7%, in net interest income before provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in loan yields, a $1.7 million increase in interest income on debt securities and other investments and a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense on transaction and savings deposits. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits, during the three months ended June 30, 2024. NIM increased 5 bps compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in loan yields during the three months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by an increase in rates on certificates and other time deposits.
Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $4.6 million, or 4.6%. The decrease was primarily due to a $16.7 million increase in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits and a $12.7 million increase in interest expense on transaction and savings deposits. The decrease was partially offset by a $16.1 million decrease in interest expense on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), a $5.2 million increase in interest income on debt securities and a $3.3 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in loan yields and average balances. NIM decreased 22 bps from 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in funding costs on deposits during the three months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by an increase in loan yields and debt securities.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $10.6 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 58.8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $6.3 million loss on sales of investment securities in the prior quarter as a result of a strategic restructuring, in which we sold $120.1 million of lower-yielding available for sale (“AFS”) securities, at amortized cost, with a 3.11% average yield, and reinvested the proceeds in higher yielding AFS securities with a 6.24% average yield, which occurred in March of 2024, with no corresponding transaction in the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in government guaranteed loan income, primarily driven by a decrease in the Company’s SBA and USDA sales, a $746 thousand decrease in other income and a $303 thousand decrease in loan fees.
Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $3.1 million, or 22.7%. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.8 million decrease in government guaranteed loan income, primarily driven by a decrease in the Company’s USDA sales, a $657 thousand decrease in customer swap income and a $485 thousand decrease in equity method investment income. Additionally, the decrease was related to a $298 thousand decrease in service charges and fees on deposit accounts. The decrease was partially offset by a $687 thousand increase in loan fees and a $463 thousand increase in other income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $63.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $62.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.0 million, or 1.7%. The increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in other noninterest expense, a $430 thousand increase in marketing expenses and a $241 thousand increase in data processing and software expense. The increase is partially offset by a $575 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits and a decrease of $436 thousand in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC insurance assessment expense, which decreased $203 thousand compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $5.9 million, or 10.4%. The increase was primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $3.6 million increase in other noninterest expense. The increase was partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC insurance assessment expense, which decreased $937 thousand compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a $651 thousand decrease in marketing expense.
Financial Condition
Total LHI was $9.21 billion at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $40.5 million, or 1.7% annualized, compared to March 31, 2024.
Total deposits were $10.72 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $71.0 million, or 2.7% annualized, compared to March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $257.8 million in certificates and other time deposits and an increase of $67.5 million in noninterest-bearing deposits. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $13.6 million in correspondent money market account balances and a decrease of $240.7 million in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits.
Credit Quality
NPAs totaled $83.0 million, or 0.65% of total assets, of which $58.8 million represents LHI and $24.3 million represents other real estate owned (“OREO”) at June 30, 2024, compared to $103.8 million, or 0.82% of total assets, at March 31, 2024. The Company had net charge-offs of $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding were 28 bps, of which 16 bps were acquired credits, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 22 bps and 48 bps for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
ACL as a percentage of LHI was 1.16%, 1.15% and 1.05% at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.3 million, $7.5 million and $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The recorded provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of changes in economic factors. As the balance for unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2024 remained stable compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded no benefit or provision for unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Company recorded a $1.5 million and a $1.1 million benefit for unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively.
Income Tax
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 totaled $8.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 13.6%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 23.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an one-time tax expense of $527 thousand, which is excluded from operating earnings, and a net discrete tax expense of $410 thousand associated with the recognition of an excess tax expense realized on share-based payment awards.
Dividend Information
After the close of the market on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, Veritex’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on its outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend will be paid on or after August 23, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2024.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.
Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by number of common shares outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

(Unaudited)Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and total assets to tangible assets and presents our tangible common equity to tangible assets:

(Unaudited)Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles (which we refer to as “return”) as net income, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, less tax benefit at the statutory rate; (b) average tangible common equity as total average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.
We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total stockholders’ equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.
The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

Operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings and the performance metrics calculated using these metrics, listed below, are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate (a) operating earnings as net income plus severance payments, plus loss on sale of debt securities AFS, net, plus M&A expenses less tax impact of adjustments, plus nonrecurring tax adjustments. We calculate (b) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (c) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating earnings as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus provision (benefit) for credit losses and unfunded commitments. We calculate (d) pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets as pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (e) operating return on average assets as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (f) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a), adjusted for the amortization of intangibles and tax benefit at the statutory rate, divided by total average tangible common equity (average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization). We calculate (g) operating efficiency ratio as noninterest expense plus adjustments to operating noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus adjustments to operating noninterest income, plus net interest income.
We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.
