• Loan portfolio yield expanded by 10 basis points to 5.93%

Brooks.

First Quarter 2024 Balance Sheet Highlights

Loans

• Total loans held for investment, excluding mortgage warehouse purchase loans, were $14.1 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $14.2 billion at December 31, 2023 and $13.6 billion at March 31, 2023. Loans held for investment, excluding mortgage warehouse purchase loans, decreased $101.3 million, or 2.9% on an annualized basis, during first quarter 2024.

• Average mortgage warehouse purchase loans were $455.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $408.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and $298.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $47.3 million, or 11.6% from the linked quarter and an increase of $157.7 million, or 52.9% year over year.

Asset Quality

• Nonperforming assets totaled $65.1 million, or 0.34% of total assets at March 31, 2024, compared to $61.4 million or 0.32% of total assets at December 31, 2023, and $60.1 million, or 0.32% of total assets at March 31, 2023.

• Nonperforming loans totaled $56.3 million, or 0.40% of total loans held for investment at March 31, 2024, compared to $51.8 million, or 0.37% at December 31, 2023 and $37.3 million, or 0.27% at March 31, 2023.

• The increase in nonperforming loans for the linked period was primarily due to two commercial loan relationships totaling $2.9 million and a $1.5 million commercial real estate loan added to nonaccrual, while the year over year period also reflects the addition of a $13.0 million commercial real estate loan to nonaccrual in fourth quarter 2023.

• The increase in nonperforming assets for the linked quarter reflects the nonperforming loan additions discussed above offset by the sale of an $805 thousand other real estate property. The year over year change in nonperforming assets was due to the nonaccrual additions discussed above offset by the disposition and partial write-down of an $11.0 million other real estate property and a $3.0 million write-down on the only remaining other real estate property, both occurring in fourth quarter 2023.

• Net charge-offs were 0.00% annualized in the first quarter 2024 compared to 0.01% annualized in the linked quarter and 0.04% annualized in the prior year quarter.

Deposits, Borrowings and Liquidity

• Total deposits were $15.7 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 compared to $14.1 billion at March 31, 2023.

• Total borrowings (other than junior subordinated debentures) were $497.0 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $124.8 million from December 31, 2023 and a decrease of $1.6 billion from March 31, 2023. The linked quarter change reflects the payoff of $350.0 million in FHLB advances offset by $225.0 million in lower costing BTFP advances taken in first quarter 2024. The year over year change primarily reflects a $1.8 billion reduction in short-term FHLB advances as well as paydowns of $66.3 million on the Company's unsecured line of credit offset by an increase of $225.0 million in borrowings against the BTFP as discussed above.

Capital

• The Company continues to be well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At March 31, 2024, the estimated common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios were 9.60%, 8.91%, 9.94% and 11.68%, respectively, compared to 9.58%, 8.94%, 9.93%, and 11.57%, respectively, at December 31, 2023 and 9.70%, 9.01%, 10.05%, and 11.88%, respectively at March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2024 Operating Results

Net Interest Income

• Net interest income was $103.0 million for first quarter 2024 compared to $127.9 million for first quarter 2023 and $106.3 million for fourth quarter 2023. The decrease from the prior year was primarily due to the increased funding costs on our deposit products, including brokered deposits, as well as FHLB advances and other borrowings due to Fed rate increases over the last year offset to a lesser extent by increased earnings on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and interest-bearing cash accounts. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to continued increases in deposit funding costs due to the competitive environment as well as increased average brokered deposits offset by increased earnings on higher average loans due to organic loan growth in the linked quarter. The first quarter 2024 includes $753 thousand in acquired loan accretion compared to $1.0 million in first quarter 2023 and $725 thousand in fourth quarter 2023.

• The average balance of total interest-earning assets grew by $734.2 million and totaled $17.1 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $16.4 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and increased $162.7 million from $16.9 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The increase from the prior year and linked quarter is primarily due to increases in average loans of $681.9 million and $178.2 million due to organic growth primarily occurring in the second half of 2023 while the prior year increase also reflects a $151.7 million increase in average interest-bearing cash balances offset by declines in average securities balances.

• The yield on interest-earning assets was 5.53% for first quarter 2024 compared to 4.98% for first quarter 2023 and 5.44% for fourth quarter 2023. The increase in asset yield compared to the prior year and linked quarter is primarily a result of increases in the benchmark rates over the last year. The average loan yield, net of acquired loan accretion was 5.91% for the current quarter, compared to 5.33% for prior year quarter and 5.81% for the linked quarter.

• The cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including borrowings, was 4.11% for first quarter 2024 compared to 2.63% for first quarter 2023 and 3.98% for fourth quarter 2023. The increase from the prior year is reflective of higher funding costs, primarily on deposit products, FHLB advances and other short-term borrowings as a result of Fed Funds rate increases in 2023. Both period funding costs were negatively impacted by the shift from non-interest bearing deposits into interest-bearing products as well as an increase in higher cost brokered deposits for the respective periods. The linked quarter change positively reflects a shift in borrowings from higher cost FHLB advances into other lower cost borrowing products.

• The net interest margin was 2.42% for first quarter 2024 compared to 3.17% for first quarter 2023 and 2.49% for fourth quarter 2023. The net interest margin excluding acquired loan accretion was 2.40% for first quarter 2024 compared to 3.14% for first quarter 2023 and 2.47% for fourth quarter 2023. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year and linked quarter was primarily due to the increased funding costs on deposits, offset by higher earnings on loans due to organic growth and rate increases for the respective periods.

Noninterest Income

• Total noninterest income increased $116 thousand compared to first quarter 2023 and increased $2.3 million compared to fourth quarter 2023.

• The increase from the prior year quarter is primarily due to increases of $251 thousand in service charges on deposit accounts, $343 thousand on investment management fees, $216 thousand in mortgage warehouse purchase program fees and $178 thousand in increase in cash surrender value of BOLI, offset by a $923 thousand decrease in other noninterest income. Other noninterest income was elevated in the prior year quarter primarily due to a $318 thousand BOLI benefit claim as well as other increases in various types of miscellaneous income.

• The increase from the linked quarter primarily reflects a $1.8 million loss on sale of an other real estate property recognized in fourth quarter 2023, compared to a $13 thousand gain recorded in first quarter 2024.

Noninterest Expense

• Total noninterest expense decreased $100.9 million compared to first quarter 2023 and decreased $6.7 million compared to fourth quarter 2023.

• The decrease in noninterest expense in first quarter 2024 compared to the prior year is due primarily to the $102.5 million litigation settlement occurring in first quarter 2023. In addition, there were decreases of $1.3 million in professional fees and $2.3 million in other noninterest expense offset by increases of $1.1 million in salaries and employee benefits and $3.4 million in FDIC assessment.

• The decrease from the linked quarter primarily reflects decreases of $5.8 million in FDIC assessment and $1.8 million in other noninterest expense offset by a $2.7 million increase in salaries and benefits expense. In addition, other real estate impairment was $345 thousand in the current quarter compared to $3.0 million in the linked quarter.

• The increase in salaries and benefits from the prior year is due primarily to $1.3 million higher combined salaries, bonus, employee insurance, payroll taxes and 401(k) expenses compared to the prior year quarter offset by $560 thousand in lower contract labor costs. The linked quarter change reflects higher salaries of $415 thousand due to merit increases occurring mid-quarter as well as $685 thousand additional stock grant amortization due to equity compensation shares granted as part of the merit process. The linked quarter was also impacted by higher employee insurance costs of $466 thousand and $1.1 million more payroll taxes, which are seasonally higher in the first quarter.

• The increase in FDIC assessment compared to the prior year was due to an additional special assessment of $2.1 million accrued in first quarter 2024 assessed to recover uninsured deposit losses due to bank failures in early 2023, as well as increases in the quarterly assessment's liquidity stress rates for the year over year period. The linked quarter was impacted by the accrual of a special assessment totaling $8.3 million.

• The decrease in professional fees from the linked quarter was primarily due to lower consulting fees of $912 thousand due to less active projects. The decrease in other noninterest expense from the prior year was primarily due to a decrease of $673 thousand in loan-related expenses as well as an $802 thousand asset impairment charge in the prior year, compared to none in the current quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was due primarily to decreases of $565 thousand in charitable contributions and $488 thousand in business meals, entertainment and travel expenses as well as decreases in other miscellaneous expenses.

Provision for Credit Losses

• The Company reversed provision for credit losses of $3.2 million for first quarter 2024, compared to recording provision expense of $90 thousand for first quarter 2023 and $3.5 million for the linked quarter. Provision expense (reversal) during a given period is generally dependent on changes in various factors, including economic conditions, credit quality and past due trends, as well as loan growth or decline and charge-offs or specific credit loss allocations taken during the respective period. The credit provision for first quarter 2024 reflects negative loan growth in addition to an improved economic forecast.

• The allowance for credit losses on loans was $148.4 million, or 1.06% of total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, at March 31, 2024, compared to $146.9 million, or 1.08% at March 31, 2023 and compared to $151.9 million, or 1.07% at December 31, 2023.

• The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures was $4.1 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $4.8 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $3.9 million at December 31, 2023. Changes in the allowance for unfunded commitments are generally driven by the remaining unfunded amount and the expected utilization rate of a given loan segment.

Income Taxes

• Federal income tax expense of $6.5 million was recorded for the first quarter 2024, an effective rate of 21.2% compared to federal tax benefit of $11.3 million and an effective rate of 23.1% for the prior year quarter and income tax expense of $3.5 million and an effective rate of 18.9% for the linked quarter. The higher effective tax rate for first quarter 2023 reflects the Company's loss position for the period, while the lower effective rate for fourth quarter 2023 resulted from the recognition of a tax benefit due to the expiration of the statute of limitations on an immaterial uncertain tax position.

As a result of these and other matters, including changes in facts, assumptions not being realized or other factors, the actual results relating to the subject matter of any forward-looking statement may differ materially from the anticipated results expressed or implied in that forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement made in this filing or made by the Company in any report, filing, document or information incorporated by reference in this filing, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. The Company believes that these assumptions or bases have been chosen in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, the Company cautions you that assumptions as to future occurrences or results almost always vary from actual future occurrences or results, and the differences between assumptions and actual occurrences and results can be material. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this filing or incorporated by reference herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures and ratios include "adjusted net income," "adjusted earnings," "tangible book value," "tangible book value per common share," "adjusted efficiency ratio," "tangible common equity to tangible assets," "adjusted net interest margin," "return on tangible equity," "adjusted return on average assets" and "adjusted return on average equity" and are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

We believe that these measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however we acknowledge that our financial measures have a number of limitations relative to GAAP financial measures. Certain non-GAAP financial measures exclude items of income, expenditures, expenses, assets, or liabilities, including provisions for credit losses and the effect of goodwill, other intangible assets and income from accretion on acquired loans arising from purchase accounting adjustments, that we believe cause certain aspects of our results of operations or financial condition to be not indicative of our primary operating results. All of these items significantly impact our financial statements. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our adjustments are not necessarily consistent with the items that our peers may exclude from their results of operations and key financial measures and therefore may limit the comparability of similarly named financial measures and ratios. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statements tables.
