The year over year increase was primarily due to increases in loans receivable, net of $204.6 million, securities available-for-sale of $62.0 million, other assets of $2.9 million, deferred tax asset, net of $2.4 million, servicing rights of $2.3 million, and accrued interest receivable of $1.0 million, partially offset by decreases in loans HFS of $114.2 million, total cash and cash equivalents of $55.8 million, CDs at other financial institutions of $4.1 million, and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock of $1.8 million.

Commercial business loans increased $3.6 million, mainly as a result of an increase in warehouse lending of $4.7 million.Originations of one-to-four-family loans to purchase and to refinance a home for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

The decrease in purchase and refinance activity compared to the prior quarter reflects a limited available inventory of homes for sale and increased market interest rates adversely impacting refinance activity.
Gross margins on home loan sales decreased to 2.94% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 3.66% in the previous quarter and decreased from 4.60% in the same quarter one year ago. Gross margins are defined as the margin on loans sold (cash sales) without the impact of deferred costs.

(1) Includes $127.6 million, $97.6 million, and $178.1 million of brokered deposits at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
(2) Includes $60.0 million, $90.0 million, and $0 of brokered deposits at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
(3) Includes $241,000, $5.0 million, and $11.0 million of brokered deposits at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
The increases in deposits from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2021 were primarily driven by growth in transactional deposit accounts due to new deposit relationships and in escrow accounts attributable to growth in the loan servicing portfolio.At March 31, 2022, non-retail CDs, which include brokered CDs, online CDs, and public funds CDs, increased $30.0 million to $144.2 million, compared to $114.2 million at December 31, 2021, due to an increase of $30.0 million in brokered CDs. The year over year decrease in non-retail CDs of $43.9 million from $188.1 million at March 31, 2021, was primarily the result of a $50.6 million decrease in brokered CDs, offset by an increase of $6.7 million in online CDs. The reduction in non-retail CDs is directly tied to the Company replacing these non-retail CDs with brokered interest-bearing checking deposits of $60.0 million. The bulk of the wholesale funding activity has been tied to liability interest rate swap arrangements of $90.0 million that are funded with 90-day liabilities.
At March 31, 2022, borrowings comprised of FHLB advances decreased $7.0 million, or 16.5%, to $35.5 million from $42.5 million at December 31, 2021, and decreased $37.0 million, or 51.0% from $72.5 million at March 31, 2021. These decreases were due to repayments utilizing funds from deposit growth and reductions in loans held for sale.
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $11.6 million, to $236.0 million at March 31, 2022, from $247.5 million at December 31, 2021, and decreased $4.4 million, from $240.3 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease in stockholders’ equity during the current quarter was primarily due to net unrealized losses in securities available-for-sale of $16.5 million, net of tax, reflecting increases in market interest rates during the quarter, share repurchases totaling $3.5 million, and dividends paid of $1.6 million, partially offset by net income of $6.9 million and unrealized gains on cash flow hedges of $2.3 million, net of tax. In addition, the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2022, resulted in a $297,000 increase to retained earnings, reflecting the combined impact of the $2.9 million decrease to our ACLL and a $2.4 million increase to the reserve for unfunded commitments as of the adoption date. The Company repurchased 115,356 shares of its common stock at an average price of $31.45 per share. Book value per common share was $29.70 at March 31, 2022, compared to $30.75 at December 31, 2021, and $28.90 at March 31, 2021.
The Bank is well capitalized under the minimum capital requirements established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at March 31, 2022, with a CBLR of 12.2%, compared to the normally required CBLR of greater than 9.0%. The Company’s Tier 1 leverage-based ratio was 10.8% at March 31, 2022.
Credit Quality
The ACLL at March 31, 2022, decreased to $23.4 million, or 1.28% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS, compared to $25.6 million, or 1.46% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS at December 31, 2021, and decreased from $27.4 million, or 1.69% of gross loans receivable, excluding loans HFS, at March 31, 2021. Nonperforming loans increased $968,000 to $6.8 million at March 31, 2022, from $5.8 million at December 31, 2021, and decreased $2.5 million from $9.3 million at March 31, 2021. The year over year decrease in the ACLL was primarily due to the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.9 million as of the CECL adoption date. The reserve for unfunded commitments increased $2.6 million to $3.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $499,000 at December 31, 2021, and increased from $398,000 at March 31, 2021, primarily due to the one-time cumulative-effect adjustment of $2.4 million as of the CECL adoption date and increases in unfunded commitments over the period.
Loans classified as substandard decreased $5.0 million to $13.1 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $18.1 million at December 31, 2021, and decreased $7.8 million from $20.9 million at March 31, 2021. The quarter over linked quarter decrease in substandard loans was attributable to decreases of $2.3 million in commercial and industrial loans, $1.7 million in one-to-four-family loans, and $916,000 in commercial real estate loans. The year over year decrease in substandard loans was primarily due to decreases of $6.2 million in one-to-four-family loans, $1.9 million in construction and development loans, and $934,000 in commercial real estate loans, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in commercial and industrial loans. There were no other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, or March 31, 2021.
Operating Results
Net interest income increased $2.6 million, to $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This comparable quarter over quarter increase was primarily the result of an improved mix of loans versus other interest-bearing assets and increased balances in higher yielding loans funded by lower cost deposits. Interest income increased $1.8 million, primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in interest income on loans receivable, including fees, impacted primarily by loan growth and net deferred fees recognized upon SBA forgiveness of PPP loans. Interest expense decreased $780,000, primarily as a result of repricing deposit rates and a reduction in higher cost borrowings. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the total recognition of net deferred fees on forgiven and amortizing PPP loans was $264,000, as compared to $653,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
NIM increased 25 basis points to 4.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from 3.99% for the same period in the prior year. The comparable quarter over quarter increase in NIM was impacted by an improved mix of interest-bearing assets, including a higher balance of higher yielding portfolio loans and investment securities and a significant decrease of interest-bearing cash balances earning a nominal yield combined with declining deposit and borrowing costs.
The average total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing checking, decreased 19 basis points to 0.39% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, from 0.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. This decrease was predominantly due to the decline in cost for market rate deposits and borrowings as well as a managed runoff of higher cost CD funding. Management remains focused on matching deposit/liability duration with the duration of loans/assets where appropriate.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the provision for credit losses on loans was $852,000, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as calculated under the prior incurred loss methodology. The provision for credit losses on loans reflects the increase in total loans receivable partially offset by a reduction in classified loans that were downgraded based on the COVID-19 pandemic and improved economic factors on credit-deterioration used to calculate the ACLL primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to the same time last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $191,000, compared to a recovery of $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was attributable to a change in methodology as a result of the adoption of CECL, as well as increases in total unfunded commitments during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net charge-offs totaled $263,000, compared to $297,000 for the same period last year. The slight decrease in net charge-offs was primarily due to decreased commercial business loan charge-offs.
Noninterest income decreased $7.2 million, to $5.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease during the period primarily reflects a $7.8 million decrease in gain on sale of loans due primarily to a reduction in origination and sales volume of loans HFS and a reduction in gross margins of sold loans, partially offset by a $419,000 increase in other noninterest income, primarily due to proceeds received from a bank owned life insurance policy of $482,000, a $248,000 increase in service charges and fee income as a result of less amortization of mortgage servicing rights reflecting increased market interest rates and increased servicing fees from non-portfolio loans.
Noninterest expense increased $2.7 million, to $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, from $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in noninterest expense primarily reflects a $2.0 million decrease in the recovery of servicing rights, from $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2021 to $1,000 the first quarter of 2022. Additional increases in noninterest expense include $363,000 in salaries and benefits, and $171,000 in professional and board fees.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition to financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible common stockholders’ equity is calculated by excluding intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. For this financial measure, the Company’s intangible assets are goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. The Company believes that this non-GAAP measure is consistent with the capital treatment utilized by the investment community, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and presents this measure to facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors.
This non-GAAP financial measure has inherent limitations, is not required to be uniformly applied, and is not audited. Further, this non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total stockholders' equity determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Reconciliation of the GAAP book value per share and non-GAAP tangible book value per share is presented below.
