Curtis Griffith, South Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results demonstrate the strength of the Bank and the resiliency of our markets as we maintained core deposits while our non-interest bearing deposits remained relatively steady, which is quite an accomplishment in this challenging environment. Additionally, we were able to maintain our net interest margin at March’s level of 3.65% through the second quarter as higher loan yields are offsetting the rise in our cost of funds. We have also maintained a strong liquidity and capital position which was further bolstered by the sale of Windmark in April. Given the large one-time gain that was recognized, we made the strategic decision to sell $56 million of securities having recorded a realized loss of $3.4 million. We believe this was a tax efficient transaction which will boost our earnings in future quarters as we have reinvested the proceeds into higher yielding loans through the quarter. While we continue to deliver strong results, we believe our shares are trading below intrinsic value. As a result, our board of directors authorized a $15 million stock repurchase program in May and we subsequently bought back approximately 113,000 shares during the remainder of the quarter.”

Results of Operations, Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $34.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $34.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $37.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.65% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 3.75% for the first quarter of 2023 and 4.02% for the second quarter of 2022. The average yield on loans was 5.94% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 5.78% for the first quarter of 2023 and 5.57% for the second quarter of 2022. The average cost of deposits was 169 basis points for the second quarter of 2023, which is 33 basis points higher than the first quarter of 2023 and 142 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2022.

Interest income was $50.8 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $47.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $40.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. Interest income increased $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 from the first quarter of 2023, which was mainly comprised of an increase of $3.3 million in loan interest income. The growth in loan interest income was primarily due to an increase of $115.2 million in average loans outstanding and the rising short-term interest rate environment, as the yield on loans rose 16 basis points. Interest income increased $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase of average loans of $344.8 million and higher market interest rates during the period, partially offset by $4.4 million of interest income received related to four credits for the recovery of interest on previously charged-off credits, purchase discount principal recovery, and prepayment penalties during the second quarter of 2022.

Interest expense was $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased $3.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2023 and $12.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of significantly rising short-term interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities, with the increase being mainly comprised of interest expense on deposits. Additionally, interest-bearing deposits have grown during both of the period comparisons.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income was $47.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $18.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase from the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the $33.5 million gain on sale of Windmark and an increase of $3.0 million in mortgage banking activities revenue, partially offset by a reduction of $1.4 million in income from insurance activities due to the sale of Windmark. The increase in mortgage banking activities revenues was mainly the result of a $400 thousand fair value write-up of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio compared to the write-down of $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and an increase of $45.9 million in mortgage loans originated for sale. Additionally, bank card services and interchange revenue increased $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 mainly as a result of continued growth in customer card usage and incentives received during the period. The increase in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the $33.5 million gain on sale of Windmark noted above, partially offset by a reduction of $1.5 million in income from insurance activities due to the sale of Windmark and a decrease of $3.4 million in mortgage banking revenues as originations of mortgage loans held for sale declined $74.5 million.

Noninterest expense was $40.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $32.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $36.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The $8.1 million increase from the first quarter of 2023 was largely the result of $4.5 million in personnel and transaction expenses as part of the Windmark sale plus related incentive compensation and a $3.4 million loss on the sale of securities. The increase in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by the $4.5 million in Windmark transaction and related personnel expenses, the $3.4 million loss on sale of securities, partially offset by a reduction of $1.1 million in mortgage personnel costs due to the decline in mortgage loan originations and a decrease of $759 thousand in legal expenses incurred largely as a result of a vendor dispute, which was resolved and accounted for by the end of 2022.

Loan Portfolio and Composition

Loans held for investment were $2.98 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $2.79 billion as of March 31, 2023 and $2.58 billion as of June 30, 2022. The $190.4 million, or 6.8%, increase during the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2023 remained relationship-focused and occurred primarily in commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans, seasonal agricultural loans, and energy loans. As of June 30, 2023, loans held for investment increased $398.6 million, or 15.4% year over year, from June 30, 2022, primarily attributable to strong organic loan growth.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $3.57 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $3.51 billion as of March 31, 2023 and $3.43 billion as of June 30, 2022. Deposits increased by $66.5 million, or 1.9%, in the second quarter of 2023 from March 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, deposits increased $148.7 million, or 4.3% year over year, from June 30, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $1.10 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $1.11 billion as of March 31, 2023 and $1.20 billion as of June 30, 2022. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 30.8% of total deposits as of June 30, 2023. The quarterly growth in deposits was mainly the result of an increase of $81 million in brokered deposits, partially offset by a reduction of $67 million in our public fund deposits. The year-over-year increase in deposits is primarily a result of the noted growth in the second quarter of 2023 and the overall focus on liquidity.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 of $3.7 million, compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and no provision in the second quarter of 2022. The provision during the second quarter of 2023 was largely attributable to growth in loans held for investment and an increase of $1.3 million in specific reserves. The change in specific reserves was primarily related to a $13.3 million previously-classified relationship that was placed on nonaccrual in May 2023. Classified loans declined $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2023 to $67.4 from $70.9 million at March 31, 2023.

The ratio of allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment was 1.45% as of June 30, 2023, compared to 1.42% as of March 31, 2023 and 1.54% as of June 30, 2022.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets as of June 30, 2023 was 0.51%, compared to 0.19% as of March 31, 2023 and 0.20% at June 30, 2022. Annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) were 0.05% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 0.09% for the first quarter of 2023 and (0.02)% for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in nonperforming assets was a result of the $13.3 million relationship noted above.

Capital

Book value per share increased to $23.13 at June 30, 2023, compared to $21.57 at March 31, 2023. The growth was driven by an increase of $27.5 million of net income after dividends paid, partially offset by $2.5 million in share repurchases.
