◦Tangible common equity of 7.23%(1); 9.13%(1) excluding impact from AOCI

Additionally, the board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per common share for the next regularly scheduled dividend, payable on September 16, 2024 to shareholders of record as of September 2, 2024.
Archie Brown, President and CEO, commented on the quarter, “We had an outstanding quarter. Adjusted(1) earnings per share were $0.65 per share, which resulted in an adjusted(1) return on assets of 1.40% and an adjusted(1) return on tangible common equity of 20.88%. Loan growth was exceptionally strong again this quarter with balances increasing by 11% on an annualized basis, and was a significant driver to the increase to net interest income. Growth was broad-based and was led by Commercial Banking. Similarly, average deposits grew approximately 11% for the period, with interest bearing deposits and a seasonal increase in public fund balances driving the increase. Our 4.10% tax equivalent net interest margin was unchanged from the first quarter and remains at or near the top of our peer group.”
Mr. Brown continued, “Total adjusted(1) revenue increased $14.4 million, or 7% compared to the linked quarter. Additionally, we posted record adjusted(1) noninterest income of $61.6 million. Growth in fee income was broad-based for the period with foreign exchange revenue growing more than 60% from the linked quarter. Leasing business income, mortgage banking and bankcard income all increased by double digit percentages and wealth management income posted another record quarter. Adjusted(1) expenses increased by 1.2% compared to the first quarter. The increase included a full quarter of Agile expenses, the impact of annual salary adjustments that occurred late in the first quarter and variable compensation tied to our record fee income. Through our workforce efficiency initiative, we have eliminated 90 full-time positions to date, and this work will continue through the remainder of the year.”
Mr. Brown commented on asset quality and the ACL, “I am pleased with the 23 basis point decline in net charge-offs to 15 basis points, which marks the third consecutive quarter that charge-offs have declined. We did experience some downward credit migration during the period, however this was not concentrated in any particular loan type, and nonperforming loans as a percentage of total assets was relatively flat compared to the prior quarter. Our ACL increased to 1.36% of total loans, and based on our outlook for loan growth and credit quality, we would expect provision to decline to levels approximating the first quarter in the coming periods.”
Mr. Brown concluded, “We are pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved a $0.01 increase in the common dividend to $0.24. The 4.3% dividend increase results in a dividend payout ratio within our target range of 35% - 40% of net income and increases our already attractive yield. I am encouraged with our operating performance through the first half of 2024 and look forward to continued success for the full year.”

(1) Non-GAAP measure. For details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure, see the sections titled “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release and “Appendix: Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation” in the accompanying slide presentation.
(2) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons. |
