Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $85.3 million, a $213,000, or 0.2%, decrease from the second quarter of 2019 and a $326,000, or 0.4%, decrease from the third quarter of 2018.  The $213,000 decrease from the second quarter of 2019 was primarily driven by increased borrowing volume compared to the linked quarter, as well as lower yields earned on the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios.  A $520.7 million increase in the average balance of borrowings from the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by a 36 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on borrowed funds, resulted in a $2.5 million increase in interest expense.  A $27.8 million increase in the average balance of the commercial real estate portfolio from the second quarter of 2019 was offset by a 15 basis point decrease in the average yield, which resulted in a $371,000 decrease in interest income.  The average balance of commercial and industrial loans decreased by $10.4 million from the second quarter of 2019, while the average yield declined by 20 basis points, resulting in an $879,000 decrease in interest income.

These declines in interest income on the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios were partially offset by increased volume in Warehouse Purchase Program and consumer real estate loans compared to the linked quarter.  Interest income earned on Warehouse Purchase Program loans increased by $2.1 million from the second quarter of 2019, as the average balance increased by $255.2 million, which was partially offset by a 30 basis point decrease in the average yield earned compared to the second quarter of 2019.  Interest income earned on the consumer real estate portfolio increased by $582,000, driven by a $50.8 million linked-quarter increase in the average balance.

The $326,000 decrease in net interest income compared to the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to higher rates paid on time and savings and money market deposits, which increased by 60 basis points and 28 basis points, respectively, compared to the same period last year.  Additionally, the average balance of borrowings increased by $468.2 million from the third quarter of 2018, resulting in a $3.1 million increase in interest expense.

This increase in interest expense compared to the third quarter of 2018 was partially offset by increased volume in Warehouse Purchase Program, consumer real estate and commercial real estate loans compared to the same period last year. The average balance of Warehouse Purchase Program loans increased by $410.6 million from the third quarter of 2018, while the average yield earned on this portfolio decreased by 20 basis points, resulting in a $4.1 million increase in interest income compared to the third quarter of 2018.  The average balance of consumer real estate loans increased by $190.3 million from the third quarter of 2018, while the average yield earned on this portfolio increased by nine basis points, which led to a $2.6 million increase in interest income.  A $130.1 million increase in the average balance of commercial real estate loans compared to the third quarter of 2018 was partially offset by a nine basis point decrease in the average yield, which resulted in a $1.0 million increase in interest income. The average balance of commercial and industrial loans decreased by $12.9 million from the third quarter of 2018, while the average yield earned on this portfolio decreased by 17 basis points from the same period, resulting in a $1.1 million decrease in interest income.

The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2019 was 3.60%, a 17 basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2019 and a 30 basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2018.  The average yield on earning assets for the third quarter of 2019 was 4.87%, a 16 basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2019 and a five basis point decrease from the third quarter of 2018.  The cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2019 was 1.12%, down three basis points from the linked quarter and up 25 basis points from the third quarter of 2018.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2019 was $13.3 million, a $1.1 million, or 9.1%, increase from the second quarter of 2019 and a $122,000, or 0.9%, increase from the third quarter of 2018.  Other non-interest income for the second quarter of 2019 included a $1.2 million net decrease in the value of investments in community development-oriented private equity funds used for Community Reinvestment Act purposes (the "CRA Funds"), compared to a $181,000 net increase in the CRA Funds for the third quarter of 2019.  Service charges and other fees decreased by $516,000 compared to the second quarter of 2019, primarily resulting from lower title company income and lower commercial loan fee income (consisting of syndication, arrangement, non-usage and pre-payment fees), partially offset by increased Warehouse Purchase Program income and insufficient funds fees.  Net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale during the third quarter of 2019 increased by $172,000 compared to the linked quarter, which included gains recognized on $97.3 million of consumer real estate loans that were sold or committed for sale, fair value changes on mortgage derivatives and mortgage fees collected during the third quarter of 2019, compared to $74.8 million for the second quarter of 2019.

The $122,000 increase in non-interest income from the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a $1.5 million increase in net gains on the sale of mortgage loans held for sale, related to $97.3 million of consumer real estate loans that were sold or committed for sale, fair value changes on mortgage derivatives and mortgage fees collected during the 2019 period, compared to $38.7 million for the 2018 period.  Service charges and other fees increased by $740,000 from the third quarter of 2018, which was driven by higher title company income, debit card interchange income, Warehouse Purchase Program income and insufficient funds fees, partially offset by lower commercial loan fee income (consisting of syndication, arrangement, non-usage and pre-payment fees).  Other non-interest income for the third quarter of 2019 included a $181,000 net increase in the CRA Funds, up from a $1.1 million net decrease in the CRA Funds for the third quarter of 2018.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2019 was $44.1 million, down $3.4 million, or 7.1%, from the second quarter of 2019 and up $1.9 million, or 4.6%, from the third quarter of 2018.  The third quarter of 2019 included $318,000 in merger costs compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, related to the proposed merger with Prosperity, which was announced on June 17, 2019.  Regulatory assessments expense for the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $712,000 from the second quarter of 2019, due to the application of an FDIC assessment credit.  Outside professional services expense for the third quarter of 2019 decreased by $280,000 from the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower legal expenses, while other non-interest expense decreased by $288,000 from the linked quarter, primarily due to lower lending and recruiting expenses. These linked-quarter decreases were partially offset by a $218,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense from the second quarter of 2019, which was driven by higher healthcare claims in the third quarter of 2019.

The $1.9 million increase in non-interest expense from the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, which was primarily related to higher mortgage commissions paid in the 2019 period attributable to increased mortgage loan production, as well as higher healthcare claims and 401K matching expenses.  Additionally, merit increases granted in the 2019 period also contributed to the increased salary expense compared to the third quarter of 2018.  The third quarter of 2019 included $318,000 in merger costs with no comparable charges in the third quarter of 2018, related to the above-described proposed merger with Prosperity.  Data processing expense increased by $303,000 from the third quarter of 2018 due to system upgrades and outsourcing certain segments of its data processing. These increases in non-interest expense compared to the 2018 period were partially offset by a $631,000 decrease in regulatory assessments expense and a $314,000 decrease in other non-interest expense, primarily related to lower debit card fraud compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Financial Condition - Loans

Gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2019, excluding Warehouse Purchase Program loans, grew $44.6 million from June 30, 2019, which included growth in all loan portfolios, with the exception of commercial real estate, which declined by $27.0 million from the linked quarter.  At September 30, 2019, consumer real estate loans increased by $56.5 million from June 30, 2019, while commercial and industrial and construction and land loans increased by $7.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, for the same period.

At September 30, 2019, Warehouse Purchase Program loans increased by $411.4 million compared to June 30, 2019 and by $899.6 million compared to September 30, 2018.

Reserve-based energy loans, which are secured by deeds of trust on properties containing proven oil and natural gas reserves and are included in the Company's commercial and industrial loan portfolio, totaled $512.0 million at September 30, 2019, down $6.6 million from $518.6 million at June 30, 2019 and down $35.4 million from $547.4 million at September 30, 2018.  In addition to reserve-based energy loans, the Company has loans categorized as "Midstream and Other," which are typically related to the transmission of oil and natural gas and would only be indirectly impacted by declining commodity prices.  At September 30, 2019, "Midstream and Other" loans had a total outstanding balance of $23.0 million, up $2.4 million from $20.6 million at June 30, 2019 and down $11.8 million from $34.8 million at September 30, 2018.

Compared to September 30, 2018, total deposits decreased by $233.8 million, which included declines of $216.0 million and $48.1 million in savings and money market and time deposits, respectively, which was partially offset by a $59.3 million increase in interest-bearing demand deposits compared to the same period last year.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, compared to $16.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.  The decrease in provision expense on a linked-quarter basis was primarily due to increased specific reserves allocated to corporate healthcare finance and energy loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, with no similar reserve build occurring during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.  Net charge-offs totaled $26.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net charge-offs totaling $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $791,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The $26.7 million of net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 included charge-offs of the Company's one remaining corporate healthcare finance relationship ($15.3 million), an energy relationship ($8.7 million) and a commercial real estate loan ($2.1 million.)
