INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

FIRST QUARTER 2023 COMPARED TO THE FOURTH QUARTER 2022

Net income for the first quarter of 2023 was $96.0 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 1.6%, compared to net income of $97.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for the first quarter of 2023 included a $3.0 million write-off, or $0.03 per share of Signature Bank debt securities. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2023 was $1.32 per share compared to $1.33 per share for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Return on average stockholders’ equity was 15.39% and return on average assets was 1.76% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to a return on average stockholders’ equity of 15.73% and a return on average assets of 1.77% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses decreased $9.4 million, or 4.7%, to $192.4 million during the first quarter of 2023, compared to $201.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in deposit interest expense, offset by an increase in income from loans and securities.

The net interest margin was 3.74% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to 3.87% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the first quarter of 2023, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.54%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.46%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.40%. In comparison, for the fourth quarter of 2022, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.06%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 1.66%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.59%. The increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets resulted mainly from higher interest rates on loans and securities. The net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.08% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 3.40% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared with $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses, comprised of the reserve for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, increased $3.3 million to $158.5 million, or 0.87% of gross loans, compared to $155.2 million, or 0.85% of gross loans, as of December 31, 2022.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository service fees, letters of credit commissions, securities gains (losses), wealth management fees, and other sources of fee income, was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.2 million, or 18.2%, compared to $12.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $5.8 million increase in unrealized gains on equity securities offset, in part, by a $3.0 million write-off of an available for sale security from Signature Bank when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 2.5%, to $83.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $81.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $3.1 million in salaries and employee benefits, and an increase of $1.1 million in FDIC deposit insurance assessment expense offset, in part, by a decrease of $1.4 million in marketing expense when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The efficiency ratio, defined as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus non-interest income, was 40.3% in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 38.0% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 16.8% compared to 25.7% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate includes the impact of alternative energy investments and low-income housing tax credits.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Gross loans were $18.32 billion as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $63.3 million, or 0.3%, from $18.25 billion as of December 31, 2022. The increase from December 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $131.3 million, or 2.5%, in residential mortgage loans and an increase of $123.1 million, or 1.4%, in commercial mortgage loans offset, in part, by a decrease of $165.7 million, or 5.0%, in commercial loans, and a decrease of $25.9 million, or 8.0%, in home equity loans.

Given that the use of such measures and ratios is more prevalent in the banking industry, and such measures and ratios are used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them below for discussion.
