Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was $73.0 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 1.5%, compared to the linked quarter, primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in total interest expense. Increases in interest rates drove a $3.9 million increase in total deposit interest expense, which was partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in interest expense paid on FHLB advances and other borrowings due to lower average balances during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter.

Increases in interest rates on LHFI drove a $2.4 million increase in interest income and increases in average LHFI principal balances, excluding MW LOC, drove interest income higher by $2.0 million during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter. These increases in interest income were offset by a decrease of $1.9 million in interest income earned on MW LOC due to lower average balances during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter. Lower average balances of investment securities drove a $1.5 million decline in interest income earned on investment securities during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter, in part due to the sale of $181.9 million and $78.9 million in investment securities late in the third quarter of 2023 and during December 2023, respectively, as described in further detail below.

The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including the Federal Funds rate, and thereby influences the general market rates of interest, including the loan and deposit rates offered by financial institutions. On March 17, 2022, the Federal Reserve began an aggressive campaign to combat inflation with its first target rate range increase to 0.25% to 0.50%. Subsequently, it increased the target range six more times during 2022 and four more times during 2023, with the most recent and current Federal Funds target rate range being set on July 26, 2023, at 5.25% to 5.50%. By December 31, 2023, the Federal Funds target rate range had increased 525 basis points from March 17, 2022, and in order to remain competitive as market interest rates increased, we increased interest rates paid on our deposits. Recently, Federal Reserve Board chairman, Jerome Powell, has indicated that the Federal Funds rate may be at or near its peak.

The average rate on interest-bearing deposits increased to 3.71% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 3.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The average savings and interest-bearing transaction account balances increased $56.4 million to $4.78 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, from $4.73 billion for the linked quarter, primarily due to a $69.6 million increase in average money market deposit balances. Average balances in FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased to $22.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $230.8 million for the linked quarter, primarily due to the repayment of short-term advances during the linked quarter.

The yield on LHFI was 6.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 11 basis points from 6.35% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Higher interest rates and increases in average loan balances on real estate loans drove a $1.6 million and $1.3 million increase in interest income earned on LHFI, respectively, offset by a $1.9 million decline in interest income due to lower MW LOC loan balances during the current quarter. Average MW LOC loan balances declined to $269.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $376.3 million for the linked quarter, however MW LOC ending loan balances increased late in the current quarter to $330.0 million at December 31, 2023, from $286.3 million at September 30, 2023.

The fully tax-equivalent net interest margin (“NIM-FTE”) has been impacted by margin compression over the previous four quarters as rates on interest-bearing liabilities rose faster than yields on interest-earning assets when compared to the rates and yields in the comparable linked quarters. The quarter ended December 31, 2023, was the first quarter since the quarter ended September 30, 2022, that the yield on interest-earnings assets increased by more than the rate on interest-bearing liabilities when compared to the linked quarter. The yield earned on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was 5.86%, an increase of 17 and 90 basis points compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was 3.75%, representing a 16 and a 196 basis point increase compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively. The NIM-FTE was 3.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, representing a five basis point increase and a 62 basis point decrease compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively. There was a minimal impact to the NIM-FTE as a result of accretion income due to the BT Holdings, Inc. (“BTH”) merger for the current and linked quarter, and an eight basis points increase for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

During the month ended December 31, 2023, we sold available for sale investment securities with a book value of $78.9 million and realized a loss of $4.6 million. We intend to use the proceeds in order to support loan growth in our markets, including our new Southeast market; however, in the interim, the proceeds will be held in interest-earning deposit accounts at other banks with an estimated annual yield of 5.4%. Due to the timing of this transaction, the sale positively impacted our NIM-FTE by one basis point for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. While the associated loss resulted in a $0.12 negative impact to diluted EPS for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the difference between the relatively low yield on the securities sold and the higher yield of either interest-earning deposits in banks and new loan originations as we deploy proceeds was an attractive trade-off. Depending on how long it takes to deploy from cash to loans, we estimate an annualized positive forward impact to NIM-FTE of three to five basis points, an estimated annualized forward diluted EPS benefit of approximately $0.06 to $0.11, and an estimated earn-back period of 1.9 to 1.1 years. The metrics above used the estimated annualized tax-effected net interest income generated in excess of the weighted average tax-effected yield of 2.04% on the securities sold compared to an estimated interest yield of 5.4% if the proceeds are invested in interest-earning deposits at other banks, or 7.7% if the proceeds are used to fund new loan production.

Credit Quality

The table below includes key credit quality information:

___________________________
_{⁽¹⁾ Please see the Loan Data schedule at the back of this document for additional information.
⁽²⁾ The ALCL to total LHFI, adjusted, is calculated by excluding the ALCL for MW LOC loans from the total LHFI ALCL in the numerator and excluding the MW LOC loans from the LHFI in the denominator. Due to their low-risk profile, MW LOC loans require a disproportionately low allocation of the ALCL.}

We recorded a credit loss provision of $2.7 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to $3.5 million recorded during the linked quarter. The decrease is primarily due to the stable credit risk profile of our LHFI portfolio along with an $1.4 million increase in recoveries of loan losses experienced during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the linked quarter. Also contributing to the decrease in provision was a $827,000 release of provision on our securities portfolio during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

The ALCL to nonperforming LHFI increased to 321.7% at December 31, 2023, compared to 301.1% at September 30, 2023, and nonperforming LHFI to LHFI decreased over the past quarter to 0.39% compared to 0.42% for the linked quarter. Quarterly net charge-offs decreased to $1.9 million from $2.7 million for the linked quarter, primarily due to a $1.2 million recovery on one commercial and industrial loan relationship in the current quarter, with no similar recovery during the linked quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was $8.2 million, a decrease of $9.9 million, or 54.8%, from the linked quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily driven by decreases of $11.0 million, $1.6 million and $997,000 in other noninterest income, mortgage banking revenue and insurance commission and fee income, partially offset by a decrease of $2.6 million in loss on the sale of securities.

The decrease in other noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to a $10.1 million positive valuation adjustment recorded on one of our non-marketable equity securities during the linked quarter, with no such valuation adjustment recorded during the current quarter.

The loss on the disposition of securities was due to the sale of available for sale investment securities with a current book value of $78.9 million, which realized a loss on sale of $4.6 million. We intend to use the proceeds in order to support loan growth in our markets, including our new Southeast market, as previously discussed. We also sold investment securities with a book value of $181.9 million late in the linked quarter and realized a loss on sale of $7.2 million.

The decline in mortgage banking revenue was primarily due to a $1.8 million impairment recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, in conjunction with the planned sale of our mortgage servicing rights asset.

The $997,000 decrease in insurance commission and fee income was primarily attributable to a decline in property and casualty direct bill revenue as the linked quarter reflected several significant renewals, with the remainder of the decrease being driven by other seasonality factors.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, was $60.9 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 3.8% from the linked quarter. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and several other less meaningful changes in noninterest expense line items.

The $1.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily due to increases of $749,000 and $299,000 in medical self-insurance costs and nonrecurring fees primarily related to our new Southeast market, respectively.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 23.5% during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 19.1% during the linked quarter primarily due to the tax impact of the favorable change in unrealized gain/loss on our portfolio of available for sale investment securities during the current quarter as well as an increase in stock compensation expense. The effective tax rate was 20.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Financial Condition

Loans

• Total LHFI at December 31, 2023, were $7.66 billion, an increase of $92.9 million, or 1.2%, from $7.57 billion at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $570.9 million, or 8.1%, compared to December 31, 2022.
• MW LOC totaled $330.0 million at December 31, 2023, an increase of $43.7 million, or 15.3%, compared to the linked quarter and an increase of $45.1 million, or 15.8%, compared to December 31, 2022. Much of the current quarter growth in MW LOC occurred during the last few days of the quarter. Average MW LOCs declined $107.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to the linked quarter.
• Residential real estate loans were $1.73 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $46.8 million, or 2.8%, from the linked quarter, contributing 50.4% of the total loan growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.

Securities

• Total securities at December 31, 2023, were $1.27 billion, a decrease of $36.3 million, or 2.8%, compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of $387.1 million, or 23.3%, compared to December 31, 2022.
• The decrease was primarily due to sales, maturities and calls, as well as normal principal payments. During the month ended December 31, 2023, we made a strategic decision to sell available for sale investment securities with a book value of $78.9 million and realized a loss of $4.6 million, the proceeds of which will be used to support loan growth in our markets, including our new Southeast market, as previously discussed.
• Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, primarily associated with the available for sale (“AFS”) portfolio, was $121.0 million at December 31, 2023, an improvement of $51.7 million, or 29.9%, from the linked quarter.
• The weighted average effective duration for the total securities portfolio was 4.28 years as of December 31, 2023, compared to 4.49 years as of September 30, 2023.

Deposits

• Total deposits at December 31, 2023, were $8.25 billion, a decrease of $123.4 million, or 1.5%, compared to the linked quarter, and represented an increase of $475.4 million, or 6.1%, from December 31, 2022.
• The decrease in the current quarter compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to decreases of $224.2 million and $89.0 million in brokered time deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits, respectively. These reductions were partially offset by an increase of $127.6 million in interest-bearing demand deposits. Excluding brokered time deposits, total deposits increased 1.3% from the linked quarter. Noninterest-bearing deposits continued to be impacted by the higher interest rate environment, as we saw a continuation of the declining trend in noninterest-bearing deposit balances that began in the fourth quarter of 2022, although at a slower pace than prior periods.
• At December 31, 2023, noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 23.3%, compared to 24.0% and 31.9% at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
• Uninsured/uncollateralized deposits totaled $2.73 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $2.75 billion at September 30, 2023, representing 33.1% and 32.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2023, and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Borrowings

• FHLB advances and other borrowings at December 31, 2023, were $83.6 million, an increase of $71.4 million compared to the linked quarter and represented a decrease of $555.6 million from December 31, 2022.

• Stockholders’ equity was $1.06 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $64.0 million, or 6.4%, compared to $998.9 million at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $113.0 million, or 11.9%, compared to December 31, 2022.
• The increase in stockholders’ equity from the linked quarter is primarily due to a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $51.7 million and net income of $13.4 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $4.7 million during the current quarter.
