Income Statement

Net interest income was $317.3 million in the first quarter 2021, an increase of $2.5 million from $314.8 million in the fourth quarter 2020, and an increase of $48.3 million, or 18.0%, compared to the first quarter 2020. Continued loan growth, net deferred loan fee accretion on PPP loans (which totaled $11.9 million for the first quarter 2021), and lower interest costs drove the increase in net interest income from the first quarter 2020.

The Company recorded a reversal of credit loss provisions totaling $32.4 million in the first quarter 2021, a decrease of $1.8 million from the $34.2 million reversal in the fourth quarter 2020, compared to a provision for credit losses of $51.2 million in the first quarter 2020. The reversal of provisions during the first quarter 2021 is due to continued improvement in economic forecasts relative to December 31, 2020 and concentration of loan growth in portfolio segments with lower expected loss rates. Further, as the Company's CECL models incorporate historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in measuring expected credit losses, the uncertainty in the overall economy contributed to an overall increased provision for credit losses in the first quarter 2020.

The Company's net interest margin in the first quarter 2021 was 3.37%, a decrease from 3.84% in the fourth quarter 2020 and a decrease from 4.22% in the first quarter 2020. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior period is largely a result of excess liquidity and a shift in loan mix to a higher proportion of residential loans. The decrease in net interest margin from the first quarter 2020 was driven by the lower rate environment, which lowered loan and investment security yields, but also decreased deposit and funding costs.

Non-interest income was $19.7 million for the first quarter 2021, compared to $23.8 million for the fourth quarter 2020, and $5.1 million for the first quarter 2020. The decrease in non-interest income from the fourth quarter 2020 is primarily the result of a decrease in fair value gains on equity securities as these securities continued to recover losses incurred in the first quarter 2020. The increase in non-interest income from the first quarter 2020 is primarily attributable to a decrease in fair value losses on equity securities and an increase in income from equity investments.

Net revenue was $337.0 million for the first quarter 2021, a decrease of $1.6 million, compared to $338.6 million for the fourth quarter 2020, and an increase of $62.9 million, or 22.9%, compared to $274.1 million for the first quarter 2020. The increase in net revenue from the first quarter 2020 was driven by an increase in loan interest income generated from loan growth throughout 2020, coupled with a decrease in interest expense on deposits resulting from a lower rate environment.

Non-interest expense was $135.0 million for the first quarter 2021, compared to $132.2 million for the fourth quarter 2020, and $120.5 million for the first quarter 2020. The Company's efficiency ratio1 was 39.1% for the first quarter 2021, compared to 38.2% in the fourth quarter 2020, and 42.9% for the first quarter 2020. The increase in non-interest expense from the first quarter 2020 primarily relates to an increase in compensation costs.

Income tax expense was $41.9 million for the first quarter 2021, compared to $47.0 million for the fourth quarter 2020, and $18.5 million for the first quarter 2020.

Net income was $192.5 million for the first quarter 2021, a decrease of $1.1 million from $193.6 million for the fourth quarter 2020, and an increase of $108.6 million from $83.9 million for the first quarter 2020. Earnings per share was $1.90 for the first quarter 2021, compared to $1.93 for the fourth quarter 2020, and $0.83 for the first quarter 2020. As discussed above, the increase in net income and earnings per share for the first quarter 2021 compared to the same quarter last year was driven by a release in the provision for credit losses.

The Company views its pre-provision net revenue1 ("PPNR") as a key metric for assessing the Company's earnings power, which it defines as net revenue less non-interest expense. For the first quarter 2021, the Company's PPNR1 was $202.0 million, down $4.4 million from $206.4 million in the fourth quarter 2020, and up $48.4 million from $153.6 million in the first quarter 2020. The increase in PPNR from the first quarter 2020 was driven by an increase in net interest income.

The Company had 1,947 full-time equivalent employees and 49 offices at March 31, 2021, compared to 1,915 employees and 49 offices at December 31, 2020, and 1,858 employees and 47 offices at March 31, 2020.

Balance Sheet

Gross loans totaled $28.7 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.7 billion from $27.1 billion at December 31, 2020, and an increase of $5.5 billion from $23.2 billion at March 31, 2020. By loan type, the largest increases from the prior quarter include $746 million in commercial and industrial loans, $675 million in residential real estate loans, and $337 million in construction and land development loans. These increases were offset by a decrease in CRE owner occupied loans of $105 million. From March 31, 2020, the largest increases in the loan balance were driven by commercial and industrial loans of $3.8 billion (includes $1.5 billion of PPP loans), residential real estate loans of $869 million, construction and land development loans of $709 million, and CRE non-owner occupied loans of $389 million. These increases were offset by a decrease in CRE owner occupied loans of $237 million. The Company's allowance for credit losses on loans consists of an allowance for funded loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. At March 31, 2021, the allowance for loan losses to funded loans was 0.86%, compared to 1.03% at December 31, 2020, and 1.02% at March 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded loans was 0.97% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.17% at December 31, 2020, and 1.14% at March 31, 2020.

Deposits totaled $38.4 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of $6.5 billion from $31.9 billion at December 31, 2020, and an increase of $13.6 billion from $24.8 billion at March 31, 2020. By deposit type, the largest increases from the prior quarter include $4.1 billion from non-interest bearing demand deposits and $2.9 billion from savings and money market accounts. These increases were offset by a decrease in interest bearing demand deposits of $503 million. From March 31, 2020, deposits increased across most deposit types, with increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits of $7.7 billion, savings and money market accounts of $6.3 billion, and interest-bearing demand deposits of $315 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $706 million. Non-interest bearing deposits were $17.5 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $13.5 billion at December 31, 2020, and $9.9 billion at March 31, 2020.

The table below shows the Company's deposit types as a percentage of total deposits:

Mar 31, 2021 Dec 31, 2020 Mar 31, 2020

Non-interest bearing 45.7 % 42.1 % 39.8 %

Savings and money market 39.8 38.9 36.2

Interest-bearing demand 10.1 13.8 14.4

Certificates of deposit 4.4 5.2 9.6

The Company's ratio of loans to deposits was 74.8% at March 31, 2021, compared to 84.7% at December 31, 2020, and 93.3% at March 31, 2020.

Borrowings were $5 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and $308 million at March 31, 2020. The decrease in borrowings from March 31, 2020 is due to a decrease in federal funds purchased.

Qualifying debt totaled $544 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $549 million at December 31, 2020, and $390 million at March 31, 2020. The increase in qualifying debt from March 31, 2020 is primarily due to the issuance of $225 million in subordinated debt in May 2020, partially offset by redemption of $75 million in subordinated debt in October 2020.

Stockholders' equity was $3.7 billion at March 31, 2021, compared to $3.4 billion at December 31, 2020, and $3.0 billion at March 31, 2020. The increase in stockholders' equity from December 31, 2020 is attributable to net proceeds from sale of the Company's common stock in a registered direct offering and net income, partially offset by decreases in AOCI resulting from an increase in unrealized losses on investment securities and dividends to shareholders. During the quarter, the Company sold 2.3 million shares of its common stock for a purchase price of $91.00 per share, with aggregate net proceeds totaling $209.2 million. In addition, a cash dividend of $0.25 per share was paid to shareholders on March 5, 2021, totaling $25.3 million. The increase in stockholders' equity from March 31, 2020 is primarily a function of net income and the sale of 2.3 million shares of common stock, partially offset by share repurchases and dividends to shareholders.

At March 31, 2021, tangible common equity, net of tax, was 7.9% of tangible assets1 and total capital was 12.6% of risk-weighted assets. The Company's tangible book value per share1 was $33.02 at March 31, 2021, up 23.5% from March 31, 2020.

Total assets increased 19.0% to $43.4 billion at March 31, 2021, from $36.5 billion at December 31, 2020, and increased 48.8% from $29.2 billion at March 31, 2020. The increase in total assets from the prior quarter and prior year was driven by organic loan and deposit growth.

Asset Quality

Recovery of credit provisions totaled $(32.4) million for the first quarter 2021, compared to $(34.2) million for the fourth quarter 2020, and provision for credit losses of $51.2 million for the first quarter 2020. Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) in the first quarter 2021 were $1.4 million, or 0.02% of average loans (annualized), compared to $3.9 million, or 0.06%, in the fourth quarter 2020, and $(3.2) million, or (0.06)%, in the first quarter 2020.

Nonaccrual loans decreased $1.6 million to $113.6 million during the quarter and increased $27.0 million from March 31, 2020. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest were zero at March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020. Loans past due 30-89 days and still accruing interest totaled $7.3 million at March 31, 2021, a decrease from $11.2 million at December 31, 2020, and from $38.5 million at March 31, 2020.

Repossessed assets totaled $4.2 million at March 31, 2021, an increase of $2.8 million from $1.4 million at December 31, 2020, and a decrease of $6.4 million from $10.6 million at March 31, 2020. Classified assets totaled $280.9 million at March 31, 2021, an increase of $57.2 million from $223.7 million at December 31, 2020, and an increase of $33.8 million from $247.1 million at March 31, 2020.

The ratio of classified assets to Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses, a common regulatory measure of asset quality, was 7.5% at March 31, 2021, compared to 6.5% at December 31, 2020, and 8.2% at March 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Footnotes

(1)

We believe this non-GAAP measurement is a key indicator of the earnings power of the Company.

(2)

We believe this non-GAAP ratio provides a useful metric to measure the efficiency of the Company.

(3)

We believe this non-GAAP metric provides an important metric with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength. In addition, we believe that use of tangible equity and tangible assets improves the comparability to other institutions that have not engaged in acquisitions that resulted in recorded goodwill and other intangibles.
