(1) Commentary is on a fully taxable-equivalent basis unless otherwise noted. Consistent with SEC guidance in Industry Guide 3 that contemplates the calculation of tax-exempt income on a tax equivalent basis, net interest income and net interest margin are provided on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, which generally assumes a 21% marginal tax rate. We provide detailed reconciliations in the Non-GAAP Performance and Financial Measures Reconciliation table on page 13.

Balance Sheet

Total loans held for investment were $2.3 billion at September 30, 2021, an increase of $85.8 million from September 30, 2020 and an increase of $9.0 million from June 30, 2021. Loans held for investment, excluding PPP loans, increased $66.3 million, or 12.3% annualized, from June 30, 2021, and increased $269.4 million, or 13.8%, from September 30, 2020.

The allowance for credit losses was 1.16% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2021, compared to 1.27% at June 30, 2021. The decrease in the allowance was a result of an improvement in our current expected credit losses, or CECL, economic forecast along with credit rating upgrades for certain criticized and classified loans. Excluding the impact of PPP loans, the allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2021 was 1.18%, compared to 1.33% at June 30, 2021.

Total average deposits were $3.4 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $941.7 million, or 38.1%, from the third quarter of 2020 and an increase of $106.3 million, or 12.9% annualized, from the second quarter of 2021. Average noninterest bearing deposits were $1.4 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $520.4 million, or 61%, from the third quarter of 2020 and an increase of $79.4 million, or 24.5% annualized, from the second quarter of 2021. Noninterest bearing deposits were 40.3% of total average deposits in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 34.6% in the third quarter of 2020 and 39.2% in the second quarter of 2021.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. Atlantic Capital management uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) taxable equivalent interest income; (ii) taxable equivalent net interest income; (iii) loans held for investment excluding PPP loans; (iv) loan yield excluding PPP loans; (v) taxable equivalent net interest margin; (vi) taxable equivalent net interest margin excluding PPP loans; (vii) taxable equivalent income before income taxes; (viii) taxable equivalent income tax expense; (ix) tangible common equity to tangible assets; (x) tangible book value per share, and (xi) allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment excluding PPP loans, in our analysis of the Company's performance. Tangible common equity excludes goodwill from shareholders' equity.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing performance and operations and enhance comparability with prior periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as determined in accordance with GAAP, and investors should consider Atlantic Capital’s performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies.
