Income Statement

Net interest income totaled $656.6 million in the second quarter 2024, an increase of $57.7 million, or 9.6%, from $598.9 million in the first quarter 2024, and an increase of $106.3 million, or 19.3%, compared to the second quarter 2023. The increase in net interest income from the first quarter 2024 is due to an increase in average securities and HFI loan balances, partially offset by an increase in deposit balances and rates. The increase in net interest income from the second quarter 2023 was driven by an increase in average securities balances and higher HFI loan balances and yields, coupled with a decrease in the average short-term borrowings balance. These increases were partially offset by higher balances and rates on deposits and a lower average HFS loan balance.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $37.1 million in the second quarter 2024, an increase of $21.9 million from $15.2 million in the first quarter 2024, and an increase of $15.3 million from $21.8 million in the second quarter 2023. The provision for credit losses during the second quarter 2024 is primarily reflective of loan growth and net-charge offs of $22.8 million.

The Company’s net interest margin in the second quarter 2024 was 3.63%, an increase from 3.60% in the first quarter 2024, and an increase from 3.42% in the second quarter 2023. The increase in net interest margin from the first quarter 2024 was driven by growth in average earning asset balances outpacing interest-bearing deposits. The increase in net interest margin from the second quarter 2023 was driven by higher average HFI loan and securities balances and a decrease in average short-term borrowings, partially offset by higher average deposit balances.

Non-interest income was $115.2 million for the second quarter 2024, compared to $129.9 million for the first quarter 2024, and $119.0 million for the second quarter 2023. The $14.7 million decrease in non-interest income from the first quarter 2024 was primarily due to a decrease of $12.9 million in income from equity investments and $8.3 million in net loan servicing revenue due to lower fair value changes partially offset by higher servicing income. These changes were partially offset by gains on sales of investment securities which were $3.2 million higher than the previous quarter and a $1.5 million increase in net gain on loan origination and sale activities from higher volumes. The $3.8 million decrease in non-interest income from the second quarter 2023 was primarily driven by lower net gain on loan origination and sale activities and lower fair value gain adjustments, partially offset by gains on security sales in the second quarter 2024 compared to losses in the second quarter 2023 and higher net loan servicing revenue.

Net revenue totaled $771.8 million for the second quarter 2024, an increase of $43.0 million or 5.9%, compared to $728.8 million for the first quarter 2024, and an increase of $102.5 million or 15.3%, compared to $669.3 million for the second quarter 2023.

Non-interest expense was $486.8 million for the second quarter 2024, compared to $481.8 million for the first quarter 2024, and $387.4 million for the second quarter 2023. The Company’s efficiency ratio, adjusted for deposit costs1 was 51.5% for the second quarter 2024, compared to 57.3% in the first quarter 2024, and 50.5% for the second quarter 2023. The increase in non-interest expense from the first quarter 2024 is due primarily to an increase of $36.7 million in deposit costs, partially offset by a decrease in insurance cost of $25.1 million. The decrease in insurance cost is related to the FDIC special assessment as the Company recognized a $17.6 million charge during the first quarter 2024, compared to an expense reduction of $6.0 million during the second quarter 2024. The increase in non-interest expense from the second quarter 2023 is primarily attributable to an increase in deposit costs.

Income tax expense was $54.3 million for the second quarter 2024, compared to $54.4 million for the first quarter 2024, and $44.4 million for the second quarter 2023. The decrease in income tax expense from the first quarter 2024 is primarily related to the forecasted impact of bank owned life insurance purchased subsequent to quarter end. The increase in income tax expense from the second quarter 2023 is primarily related to a higher effective tax rate resulting from lower utilization of tax credits due to timing of projects being placed in service partially offset by lower pre-tax income.

Net income was $193.6 million for the second quarter 2024, an increase of $16.2 million from $177.4 million for the first quarter 2024, and a decrease of $22.1 million from $215.7 million for the second quarter 2023. Earnings per share totaled $1.75 for the second quarter 2024, compared to $1.60 for the first quarter 2024, and $1.96 for the second quarter 2023.

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 second quarter 2024, the Company’s PPNR1 was $285.0 million, up $38.0 million from $247.0 million in the first quarter 2024, and up $3.1 million from $281.9 million in the second quarter 2023.

The Company had 3,310 full-time equivalent employees and 56 offices at June 30, 2024, compared to 3,312 full-time equivalent employees and 56 offices at March 31, 2024, and 3,336 full-time equivalent employees and 56 offices at June 30, 2023.

Balance Sheet

HFI loans, net of deferred fees totaled $52.4 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $50.7 billion at March 31, 2024, and $47.9 billion at June 30, 2023. The increase in HFI loans of $1.7 billion from the prior quarter was primarily driven by an increase of $1.9 billion in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by decreases of $179 million and $69 million in residential real estate and construction and land development loans, respectively. The increase in HFI loans of $4.6 billion from June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by increases of $5.0 billion and $284 million in commercial and industrial and construction and land development loans, respectively. This increase was partially offset by decreases of $555 million and $266 million in residential real estate and commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans, respectively. HFS loans totaled $2.0 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $1.8 billion at March 31, 2024, and $3.2 billion at June 30, 2023. The balance of HFS loans at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 primarily consisted of AmeriHome HFS loans. The increase of $166 million in HFS loans from the prior quarter is primarily related to an increase in agency conforming loans. The decrease of $1.1 billion in HFS loans from June 30, 2023 primarily related to the sale and disposition of loans during 2023 related to the Company's balance sheet repositioning strategy.

The Company's allowance for credit losses on HFI loans consists of an allowance for funded HFI loans and an allowance for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan losses to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.67% at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses, which includes the allowance for unfunded loan commitments, to funded HFI loans ratio was 0.74% at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 and 0.76% at June 30, 2023. The Company is a party to credit linked note transactions which effectively transfer a portion of the risk of losses on reference pools of loans to the purchasers of the notes. The Company is protected from first credit losses on reference pools of loans totaling $8.9 billion, $9.0 billion, and $9.4 billion as of June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023, respectively, under these transactions. However, as these note transactions are considered to be free standing credit enhancements, the allowance for credit losses cannot be reduced by the expected credit losses that may be mitigated by these notes. Accordingly, the allowance for loan and credit losses ratios include an allowance related to these pools of loans of $11.7 million as of June 30, 2024, $14.2 million as of March 31, 2024, and $21.4 million as of June 30, 2023. The allowance for credit losses to funded HFI loans ratio, adjusted to reduce the HFI loan balance by the amount of loans in covered reference pools, was 0.89% at June 30, 2024, 0.90% at March 31, 2024, and 0.94% at June 30, 2023.

Deposits totaled $66.2 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.0 billion from $62.2 billion at March 31, 2024, and an increase of $15.2 billion from $51.0 billion at June 30, 2023. By deposit type, the increase from the prior quarter is attributable to increases of $3.1 billion from non-interest bearing deposits, $893 million from savings and money market deposits and $302 million from interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a $302 million decrease in certificates of deposits. From June 30, 2023, non-interest bearing deposits increased $4.8 billion, interest-bearing demand deposits increased $4.6 billion, savings and money market deposits increased $4.0 billion, and certificates of deposit increased $1.8 billion. Non-interest bearing deposits were $21.5 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $18.4 billion at March 31, 2024, and $16.7 billion at June 30, 2023.

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


	Jun 30, 2024		Mar 31, 2024		Jun 30, 2023
Non-interest bearing	32.5	%	29.6	%	32.8	%
Interest-bearing demand	26.1		27.3		24.8
Savings and money market	25.8		26.0		25.6
Certificates of deposit	15.6		17.1		16.8

The Company’s ratio of HFI loans to deposits was 79.1% at June 30, 2024, compared to 81.5% at March 31, 2024, and 93.8% at June 30, 2023.

Borrowings were $5.6 billion at June 30, 2024, $6.2 billion at March 31, 2024, and $9.6 billion at June 30, 2023. Borrowings decreased $634 million from March 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in short-term borrowings. The decrease in borrowings from June 30, 2023 is primarily due to a decrease in short-term borrowings of $3.6 billion and payoff of the AmeriHome senior notes as part of the Company's balance sheet repositioning.

Qualifying debt totaled $897 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $896 million at March 31, 2024 and $888 million June 30, 2023.

Stockholders’ equity was $6.3 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $6.2 billion at March 31, 2024 and $5.7 billion at June 30, 2023. The increase in stockholders’ equity from the prior quarter was due to net income, partially offset by dividends to shareholders. Cash dividends of $40.8 million ($0.37 per common share) and $3.2 million ($0.27 per depository share) were paid to stockholders during the second quarter 2024. The increase in stockholders' equity from June 30, 2023 is primarily a function of net income, partially offset by dividends to stockholders.

The Company's common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 11.0% at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, compared to 10.1% at June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2024, tangible common equity, net of tax1, was 6.7% of tangible assets1 and total capital was 13.9% of risk-weighted assets. The Company’s tangible book value per share1 was $48.79 at June 30, 2024, an increase of 3.2% from $47.30 at March 31, 2024, and an increase of 13.2% from $43.09 at June 30, 2023. The increase in tangible book value per share from March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 is attributable to net income.

Total assets increased 4.7% to $80.6 billion at June 30, 2024 from $77.0 billion at March 31, 2024, and increased 18.2% from $68.2 billion at June 30, 2023. The increase in total assets from March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by an increase in HFI loans and investment securities. The increase in total assets from June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by an increase in investment securities and HFI loans, partially offset by a decrease in HFS loans.
