(1) Total revenue consists of net interest income and total noninterest income.

Loans and Leases

As of September 30, 2024, the total loan and lease portfolio was $10.19 billion, 6.9% above its level at June 30, 2024, and 16.1% above its level a year ago. Excluding historical Paycheck Protection Program loans, the third quarter of 2024 was the Company's highest loan production quarter of all time. Compared to the second quarter of 2024, loans and leases held for investment increased $659.8 million, or 7.2%, to $9.83 billion while loans held for sale decreased $3.7 million, or 1.0%, to $360.0 million. Average loans and leases were $9.76 billion during the third quarter of 2024 compared to $9.38 billion during the second quarter of 2024.

The total loan and lease portfolio at September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, was comprised of 34.5% and 36.4% of guaranteed loans, respectively.

Loan and lease originations totaled $1.76 billion during the third quarter of 2024, an increase of $586.7 million, or 50.1%, from the second quarter of 2024. Loan and lease originations increased $684.6 million, or 63.8%, from the third quarter of 2023.

Deposits

Total deposits increased to $11.40 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $693.5 million compared to June 30, 2024, and an increase of $1.40 billion compared to September 30, 2023. The increase in total deposits from prior periods was to support growth in the loan and lease portfolio as well as the Company's targeted liquidity levels.

Average total interest-bearing deposits for the third quarter of 2024 increased $287.5 million, or 2.8%, to $10.56 billion, compared to $10.27 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The ratio of average total loans and leases to average interest-bearing deposits was 92.5% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 91.4% for the second quarter of 2024.

Borrowings

Borrowings totaled $115.4 million at September 30, 2024 compared to $117.7 million and $25.8 million at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company increased long-term borrowings by $100.0 million through an unsecured 5.95% fixed rate 60-month term loan with a third party correspondent bank. This increase in borrowings was to strategically enhance capital levels in order to accommodate future growth expectations.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $97.0 million compared to $91.3 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $89.4 million for the third quarter of 2023. The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2024 and second quarter of 2024 was 3.33% and 3.28%, respectively, an increase of five basis points quarter over quarter. During the third quarter of 2024, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by two basis points, while the average yield on interest-earning assets increased by six basis points.

The increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023 was largely driven by growth in average loans and leases held for investment. Partially mitigating this increase was a decrease in the net interest margin by four basis points arising from an increase in deposits and borrowings, combined with the increase in average cost of funds, outpacing the increase in average yield on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $32.9 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, and a decrease of $5.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2023. The primary drivers in noninterest income changes are outlined below.

The loan servicing asset revaluation resulted in a loss of $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to a $11.3 million gain for the third quarter of 2023. This decrease between periods was principally due to the third quarter of 2023 change in valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of servicing rights which resulted in a nonrecurring gain of $13.7 million during that period.

Net gains on sales of loans was $16.6 million, a $2.3 million increase compared to the second quarter of 2024 and a $4.0 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2023. The increase in net gains on sales of loans for both compared periods was the result of higher levels of market premiums combined with increased loan sale volumes. The average guaranteed loan sale premium was 107%, 106% and 105% for the third and second quarters of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively. The volume of guaranteed loans sold was $266.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $250.5 million sold in the second quarter of 2024 and $225.6 million sold in the third quarter of 2023.

Loans accounted for under the fair value option had a net gain of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to a net gain of $172 thousand for the second quarter of 2024 and a net loss of $568 thousand for the third quarter of 2023. The increased levels of net gains arising from the valuation of loans accounted for under the fair value option compared to the second quarter of 2024 was largely associated with lower market interest rates. The increase in net gains when compared to the third quarter of 2023 was principally due to the third quarter of 2023 change in valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of loans measured at fair value, which resulted in a nonrecurring gain of $1.3 million during that period.

Management fee income decreased by $2.2 million, as compared to both the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023. This decrease was the result of a restructuring of the Canapi Funds in the third quarter of 2024. In connection with that restructuring, the Company's subsidiary Canapi Advisors voluntarily withdrew as an advisor to the funds. The Company remains an investor in the Canapi Funds and continues its focus on new and emerging financial technology companies.

Other noninterest income for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $7.1 million compared to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The quarter over quarter decrease of $3.9 million was largely related to a $6.7 million gain arising from the sale of one of the Company's aircraft in the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a $2.4 million gain from the sale of a building in the third quarter of 2024. The $3.6 million increase compared to the third quarter of 2023 was largely related to the above mentioned $2.4 million gain from the sale of an idle building and accompanying land that was determined earlier in 2024 not to be best suited to serve the Company's future expansion plans.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $77.6 million compared to $77.7 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $74.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the increase in noninterest expense was principally impacted by smaller balance increases in various expense categories, partially offset by $2.2 million in decreased levels of FDIC insurance expense. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense was the product of favorable changes in the Company's FDIC assessment rates.

Asset Quality

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company recognized net charge-offs for loans carried at historical cost of $1.7 million, compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $9.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average held for investment loans and leases carried at historical cost, annualized, for the quarters ended September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, was 0.08%, 0.38% and 0.48%, respectively.

Unguaranteed nonperforming (nonaccrual) loans and leases, excluding $8.7 million and $9.6 million accounted for under the fair value option at September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively, increased to $49.4 million, or 0.52% of loans and leases held for investment which are carried at historical cost, at September 30, 2024, compared to $37.3 million, or 0.42%, at June 30, 2024.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 totaled $34.5 million compared to $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. The level of provision expense in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of specific reserve increases on individually evaluated loans and continued growth of the loan and lease portfolio. Provision expense for three individually evaluated loan relationships amounted to $13.6 million, or 60.0% and 56.3% of the increase in the total provision for loan and lease losses when compared to the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $168.7 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $137.9 million at June 30, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of total loans and leases held for investment carried at historical cost was 1.78% and 1.57% at September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Income Tax

Income tax expense and related effective tax rate was $4.8 million and 27.0% for the third quarter of 2024, $9.1 million and 25.2% for the second quarter of 2024 and $3.0 million and 6.9% for the third quarter of 2023, respectively. The lower level of income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024 was primarily the result of the decreased level of pretax income. The higher level of income tax expense for the third quarter of 2024 as compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of lower levels of anticipated investment tax credits in 2024 as compared to the prior year.

This press release presents non-GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the non-GAAP financial measures to the applicable GAAP financial measure are included where applicable in financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results. The Company believes that excluding the amounts associated with these adjustments to present the non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which will assist regulators, investors, and analysts in analyzing the operating results or financial position of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures are used by management to assess the performance of the Company's business, for presentations of Company performance to investors, and for other reasons as may be requested by investors and analysts. The Company further believes that presenting the non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors and analysts to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by shareholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
