In announcing these results, Chief Executive Officer Tim Laney shared, “We are pleased to deliver quarterly earnings of $0.85 per diluted share and a solid return on average tangible common equity of 17.24%. Year-to-date net income increased $34.1 million or 88% over the prior year period to $72.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share. We continue to adhere to solid, disciplined approaches that limit concentrations in our loan book and our depositor base. Our credit quality remains strong with just two basis points of annualized net charge-offs. We maintain diversified funding sources and grew our core deposits by 29% annualized during the second quarter.”

Mr. Laney added, “During the quarter, we seamlessly integrated our Cambr acquisition into the NBH family. This strategic acquisition has provided us with a unique funding source of core deposits and further diversified our fee income capabilities. We believe our strong Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 11.08% and our ample liquidity position serve as a source of strength in any economic environment.”

Second Quarter 2023 Results
(All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2023, except as noted)

Net income totaled $32.6 million or $0.85 per diluted share, compared to net income of $40.3 million or $1.06 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2023. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue totaled $44.1 million during the second quarter, compared to $52.7 million. The return on average tangible assets totaled 1.45%, compared to a return of 1.80% during the first quarter, and the return on average tangible common equity totaled 17.24%, compared to the first quarter return of 20.86%.

Net Interest Income
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $91.2 million, compared to $96.3 million in the prior quarter, as an increase in loan interest income was more than offset by an increase in the cost of funds. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin narrowed 32 basis points to 4.07% as the 22 basis point increase in earning asset yields was more than offset by a 58 basis point increase in the cost of funds. Average earning assets increased $96.2 million, primarily driven by loan growth. The cost of funds totaled 1.48%, compared to 0.90% during the first quarter.

Loans
Total loans increased $69.1 million or 3.8% annualized to $7.4 billion at June 30, 2023. We generated quarterly loan fundings totaling $362.3 million with a weighted average new loan origination rate of 8.2%.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded $1.7 million of provision expense for credit losses, compared to $0.9 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter’s provision expense was driven by loan growth and higher reserve requirements. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.02% of average total loans during the second quarter, compared to 0.01% in the prior quarter. Non-performing loans (comprised of non-accrual loans and non-accrual TDMs) was 0.45% of total loans, compared to 0.13% in the prior quarter, and non-performing assets was 0.50% of total loans and OREO, compared to 0.18%. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans increased two basis points to 1.25% at June 30, 2023.

Deposits
We maintain a granular and well diversified deposit base with no exposure to venture capital or crypto deposits. Average total deposits increased $272.1 million, or 14.2% annualized, to $8.0 billion during the second quarter 2023, compared to $7.7 billion during the first quarter 2023. The loan to deposit ratio totaled 91.3% at June 30, 2023. Average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) increased $213.4 million to $7.0 billion.

We improved our balance sheet funding mix during the second quarter and utilized the funding provided by the quarter’s deposit growth to pay down $615.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits increased eight basis points to 87.9% at June 30, 2023.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $13.8 million during the second quarter, compared to $14.7 million. Included in other non-interest income during the quarter was $4.1 million of impairments related to venture capital investments classified as non-marketable securities. Excluding these impairments, non-interest income increased $3.3 million largely due to the addition of $1.2 million of Cambr fee income, $0.8 million higher service charges and bank card fees and $0.5 million higher mortgage banking income.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $61.0 million, compared to $58.3 million in the prior quarter. Salaries and benefits increased $2.2 million due to payroll tax credits realized in the first quarter 2023. Included in the second quarter were Cambr related acquisition expenses including $0.5 million higher transaction expenses and Cambr intangible amortization of $0.6 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a $0.8 million decrease in data processing expense.

The efficiency ratio totaled 58.9% for the second quarter, compared to 53.2%. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio totaled 56.1% for the second quarter compared to 51.3%, adjusting for other intangible assets amortization.

Income tax expense totaled $8.4 million during the second quarter, compared to $10.1 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in income tax expense was due to a decrease in pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 20.4% and 20.0% for the second and first quarters, respectively.

Capital
Capital ratios continue to be strong and in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The Tier 1 leverage ratio totaled 9.15% at June 30, 2023, and the common equity tier 1 capital ratio totaled 11.08% at June 30, 2023. Shareholders’ equity totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2023 increasing $13.6 million, largely due to higher retained earnings partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Common book value per share increased $0.30 to $30.42 at June 30, 2023. Tangible common book value per share decreased $0.81 to $20.95 due to the impact of the Cambr acquisition and a $0.26 per share increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Year-Over-Year Review
(All comparisons refer to the first six months of 2022, except as noted)

Net income increased $34.1 million or 88.1% to $72.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, compared to net income of $38.7 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2022. The increase over the same period prior year was driven by our organic balance sheet growth, strategic acquisition growth and increases in the Federal Reserve’s interest rates. Fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $45.2 million, or 87.8%, to $96.7 million. The return on average tangible assets was 1.63%, compared to 1.11% in the same period prior year, and the return on average tangible common equity was 19.05%, compared to 10.97%.

The first six months of 2022 included $1.0 million of non-recurring acquisition-related expenses related to our 2022 acquisitions. Adjusting for these expenses in the prior period, net income for the first six months of 2023 increased $33.2 million or 83.6%, and fully taxable equivalent pre-provision net revenue increased $44.0 million, or 83.3%. The adjusted return on average tangible assets was 1.14%, and the adjusted return on average tangible common equity was 11.24% for the first six months of 2022.

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $187.5 million, an increase of $82.2 million or 78.0%. Average earning assets increased $2.2 billion, or 32.6%, including average originated loan growth of $1.1 billion and average acquired loan growth of $1.6 billion. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin widened 107 basis points to 4.22%, benefitting from a 203 basis point increase in earning asset yields to 5.35%. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.7 billion to $5.6 billion at June 30, 2023, and the cost of funds totaled 1.20%, compared to 0.18% in the same period prior year.

Loans outstanding totaled $7.4 billion, increasing $2.6 billion or 53.9%, and included $1.7 billion of loans acquired through the Rock Canyon Bank and Bank of Jackson Hole acquisitions in the second half of 2022. New loan fundings over the trailing 12 months totaled $1.9 billion, led by commercial loan fundings of $1.0 billion.

The Company recorded $2.6 million of provision expense for credit losses for the first six months of 2023, compared to provision expense of $2.2 million in the same period prior year. The current period’s provision expense was driven by loan growth and higher reserve requirements. Annualized net charge-offs decreased two basis points to 0.02% of average total loans during the first six months of 2023. Non-performing loans to total loans was 0.45%, compared to 0.20% in the same period prior year, and non-performing assets to total loans and OREO was 0.50% at June 30, 2023, compared to 0.31%. The allowance for credit losses totaled 1.25% of total loans, compared to 1.06% at June 30, 2022.

Average total deposits increased $1.6 billion or 25.8% to $7.8 billion, primarily due to higher deposit balances driven by the strategic growth from our recent acquisitions. Average transaction deposits increased $1.5 billion or 27.0%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $400.1 million or 16.3%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits was 87.9%, compared to 87.4% at June 30, 2022, and the mix of non-interest bearing demand deposits to total deposits was 32.4%, compared to 39.6% at June 30, 2022.

Non-interest income totaled $28.5 million, a decrease of $7.3 million or 20.5%, largely driven by $9.7 million of lower mortgage banking income due to lower purchase and refinance activity, as well as competition driving tighter gain on sale margins. Service charges and bank card fees increased a combined $1.9 million compared to the same period prior year. Other non-interest income included $1.2 million of Cambr income, $1.0 million of trust income and $0.7 million from gains on SBA loan sales, all of which are new and diversified sources of fee revenue. Included in other non-interest income during 2023 was $4.4 million in impairments related to venture capital investments classified as non-marketable securities.

Non-interest expense totaled $119.3 million, an increase of $29.6 million, or 33.1%, largely driven by an increase in core operating expenses driven by our 2022 acquisitions. Included in other non-interest expense is $2.8 million higher FDIC deposit insurance expense as a result of our recent acquisitions and an increase in the FDIC assessment rate effective January 2023. Included in the first six months of 2022 were non-recurring acquisition-related expenses of $1.0 million related to our 2022 acquisitions.

Income tax expense totaled $18.4 million, an increase of $10.5 million from the same period last year, driven by higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate was 20.2% for the first six months of 2023, compared to 17.1%.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common book value per share,” “tangible common book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax,” “tangible common book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “non-interest expense adjusted for other intangible assets amortization and acquisition-related expenses,” “non-interest expense adjusted for acquisition-related expenses,” “efficiency ratio adjusted for other intangible assets amortization and acquisition-related expenses,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per share – diluted,” “net income adjusted for the impact of other intangible assets amortization expense and acquisition-related expenses, after tax,” “net income excluding the impact of other intangible assets amortization expense, after tax,” “adjusted return on average tangible assets,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue adjusted for acquisition-related expenses,” and “fully taxable equivalent” metrics, are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
