NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.4 million to $6.9 million from $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $0.9 million in loan level derivative income, net, an increase of $0.4 million in other non-interest income, and an increase of $0.2 million in deposit fees, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in loan fees.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2022.

The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 7 basis points for the second quarter of 2022 from 11 basis points for the first quarter of 2022.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased $2.4 million to $44.9 million from $42.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $1.9 million in compensation and employee benefits expense, an increase of $0.5 million in other non-interest expense, and an increase of $0.5 million in merger and acquisition expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in occupancy expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

We may also make forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in our annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “outlook,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, including statements regarding the Company’s business, credit quality, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
