For the second quarter of 2023, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $28.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $1.69.

“We delivered solid third quarter results, highlighted by a static net interest margin, robust loan growth and significant fee income,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, our deposit base is stable, our capital ratios are strong, and our asset quality remains sound. Our third quarter and year-to-date results demonstrate the continued strength of our franchise, our commitment to relationship banking and the successful execution of our strategic initiatives.”
Net Interest Income Grew 3.9%
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $55.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million from the second quarter, and compared to $60.8 million for the third quarter of 2022. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $539 thousand for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $134 thousand in the second quarter.
In the third quarter of 2023, net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.89% and NIM on a tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) basis (non-GAAP) was 3.31%, compared to 2.93% and 3.29% in the prior quarter, respectively. Adjusted NIM TEY (non-GAAP) of 3.28% was unchanged.
“Our adjusted tax-equivalent NIM was static on a linked-quarter basis, which was at the top end of our guidance range,” said Todd A. Gipple, President and Chief Financial Officer. “During the quarter, our loan yield expansion accelerated while we experienced a more modest increase in our cost of funds with a slowing in the shift of the composition of our deposits from noninterest and lower beta deposits to higher beta deposits. We are pleased to see this stabilization of our deposit mix and believe that it will continue to benefit our net interest margin going forward.”
Noninterest Income of $26.6 Million Including $15.6 Million of Capital Markets Revenue
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $26.6 million, down from the very strong $32.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The Company generated $15.6 million of capital markets revenue in the quarter, as compared to the outsized performance of $22.5 million in the prior quarter. Wealth management revenue was $3.8 million for the quarter, consistent with the prior quarter.
“Capital markets revenue was $15.6 million in the third quarter, which outperformed our annualized guidance range,” added Mr. Gipple. “Capital markets revenue from swaps continues to benefit from the strong demand for affordable housing. This source of fee income has been consistent for the past several years. Based on decades of stability in the low-income housing tax credit industry and our own experience, we believe that this business will perform well throughout various economic cycles.”
Noninterest Expenses Remain Well-Controlled
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2023 totaled $51.1 million, an increase of 2.8% from $49.7 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $47.7 million for the third quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to higher variable employee compensation related to year-to-date performance, increased professional and data processing fees and other expenses related to fixed asset disposals. These increases were partially offset by lower advertising and marketing expenses.
Continued Strong Loan Growth
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s total loans and leases grew $227.0 million to a total of $6.6 billion, or 14.2% on an annualized basis. “Our loan growth during the quarter was driven primarily by strength in our low-income housing tax credit lending business as well as growth in our traditional lending business. Our low-income housing tax credit clients continue to experience strong demand for their projects as the need for affordable housing far exceeds supply,” added Mr. Helling.
“While our third quarter loan growth was exceptional, we are maintaining our guidance for growth in loans held for investment for the fourth quarter to be in the range of 9 to 12% on an annualized basis as our pipeline continues to be strong,” stated Mr. Helling. “As we have previously discussed, we have two low-income housing tax credit loan securitizations scheduled to close in the fourth quarter, a tax-exempt pool of $130 million and a taxable pool totaling $135 million. Both are now scheduled for closing prior to the end of November. We plan to continue to utilize securitizations on an ongoing basis as we view this as an effective tool in managing our liquidity and capital. It will also provide ongoing capacity for continued low-income housing tax credit production and the corresponding capital markets revenue that we generate from this business,” added Mr. Helling.
Asset Quality Remains Strong
“Our asset quality continues to be strong as the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.41% at quarter-end and compares favorably to our long-term historical averages. We remain optimistic about the resilience of our Midwest markets as unemployment remains below the national average and business activity has continued at a healthy pace across our footprint,” said Mr. Helling.
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) increased $8.5 million during the quarter to $34.7 million. “The majority of the increase in NPAs was driven by three client relationships from unrelated industries. Approximately one-third of our NPAs consist of one relationship and we believe that this credit will be resolved without a loss,” added Mr. Helling. The Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases on September 30, 2023 were 2.98% and 1.05%, respectively, as compared to 2.84% and 1.00% as of June 30, 2023.
The Company recorded a total provision for credit losses of $3.8 million during the quarter which included $3.3 million of provision for loans/leases primarily driven by loan growth during the quarter. As of September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses to total loans/leases held for investment was 1.39%.
Stable Core Deposits and Liquidity
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company’s core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, remained relatively stable. Core deposits decreased slightly by $9.0 million, or 0.1%, after growing $339.3 million, or 23.0% on an annualized basis during the second quarter of 2023. Total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits remain low at 20.1% of total deposits as of the end of the third quarter as compared to 19.9% as of the end of the second quarter. The Company maintained approximately $3.0 billion of available liquidity sources at quarter-end, which includes $1.1 billion of immediately available liquidity.
Continued Strong Capital Levels
As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.40%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 9.63% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.05%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.69%, 9.73% and 8.28% as of June 30, 2023. The Company remains focused on growing capital and targeting capital levels in the top quartile of the Company’s peer group.
The Company’s tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased $0.34, or 3.4% annualized during the third quarter. Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) declined $19.4 million during the quarter due to a decrease in the value of the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio and certain derivatives resulting from the change in interest rates during the third quarter. While the net decline in AOCI diluted the Company’s tangible common equity, strong earnings more than offset this impact, which led to the increase in tangible book value per share (non-GAAP).

The Company's management believes that these measurements are important to investors as they exclude non-core or non-recurring income and expense items, therefore, they provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, these non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. (2) Non-core or nonrecurring items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective federal tax rate of 21% with the exception of acquisition costs which have an estimated effective federal tax rate of 13.62%. (3) The CECL Day 2 provision for credit losses on acquired non-PCD loans and OBS exposures resulted from the Guaranty Bank acquisition on April 1, 2022. (4) Interest earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 21% effective federal tax rate. (5) Net interest margin (TEY) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company's management utilizes this measurement to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain loans and securities. It is also standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net interest income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, the Company calculates net interest margin without the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion as this can fluctuate and it's difficult to provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods. (6) Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to compare to industry peers. The ratio is used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue. In compliance with the applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
