THE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

The Bancorp, Inc. (“the Company”) is a Delaware corporation and a registered financial holding company. Its primary, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, National Association (“the Bank”). The Bank is a nationally chartered commercial bank located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and is a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured institution. As a nationally chartered institution, its primary regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). The Bank has two primary lines of business consisting of its national specialty finance segment and its payments segment.

In the national specialty finance segment, the Bank makes the following types of loans: securities-backed lines of credit (“SBLOC”) and cash value of insurance-backed lines of credit (“IBLOC”), leases (direct lease financing), Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans (“REBL”).

While the national specialty finance segment generates the majority of the Company’s revenues, the payments segment also contributes significant revenues. In its payments segment, the Company provides payment and deposit services nationally, which include prepaid and debit card accounts, private label banking, deposit accounts to investment advisors’ customers, card payment and other payment processing services. Payments segment deposits fund the majority of the Company’s loans and securities and may result in lower costs than other funding sources. Most of the payments segment’s revenues and deposits, and SBLOC and IBLOC loans, result from relationships with third parties which market such products. Concentrations of loans and deposits are based upon the cumulative account balances generated by those third parties. Similar concentrations result in revenues in prepaid, debit card and related fees. These concentrations may also be reflected in a lower cost of funds compared to other funding sources. The Company sweeps certain deposits off its balance sheet to other institutions through intermediaries. Such sweeps are utilized to optimize diversity within its funding structure by managing the percentage of individual client deposits to total deposits.

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulation by certain state and federal agencies and, accordingly, they are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial banking activities, the Company’s and the Bank’s businesses may be affected by state and federal legislation and regulations.

 

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company, as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods presented. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the 2022 Form 10-K.

The Company’s non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans, at fair value, are primarily collateralized by multi-family properties (apartment buildings), and to a lesser extent, by hotel and retail properties. These loans were originally generated for sale through securitizations. In 2020, the Company decided to retain these loans on its balance sheet as interest-earning assets and resumed originating such loans in 2021. These new originations are identified as REBL and are held for investment in the loan portfolio. Prior originations initially intended for securitizations continue to be accounted for at fair value, and are included in the balance sheet in “Commercial loans, at fair value.”

 

Note 3. Stock-based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 718 Stock Based Compensation (“ASC 718”). The expense of the option is generally measured at fair value at the grant date with compensation expense recognized over the service period, which is typically the vesting period. For grants subject to a service condition, the Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes model takes into consideration the exercise price and expected life of the options, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, the expected dividends on the stock and the current risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option.

9


The Company’s estimate of the fair value of a stock option is based on expectations derived from historical experience and may not necessarily equate to its market value when fully vested. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company estimates the number of options for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered. At June 30, 2023, the Company had two active stock-based compensation plans.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 57,573 stock options with a vesting period of four years and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $17.37. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 100,000 stock options with a vesting period of four years and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $14.01. There were 13,158 common stock options exercised in the six month period ended June 30, 2023. There were 35,318 common stock options exercised in the six month period ended June 30, 2022.

The Company granted 547,556 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in the first six months of 2023, of which 514,785 have a vesting period of three years and 32,771 have a vesting period of one year. At issuance, the 547,556 RSUs granted in the first six months of 2023 had a weighted average fair value of $35.00 per unit. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 260,693 RSUs, of which 219,311 have a vesting period of three years and 41,382 have a vesting period of one year. At issuance, the 260,693 RSUs granted in the first six months of 2022 had a weighted average fair value of $28.61 per unit.

As of June 30, 2023, there was a total of $22.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards under stock-based compensation plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years. Related compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Related compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $5.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The total issuance date fair value of RSUs vested and options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $6.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of the options exercised and RSUs vested in those respective periods was $16.4 million and $14.7 million, respectively.

For the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of each stock option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:  

 

June 30,

2023

2022

Risk-free interest rate

3.67%

1.94%

Expected dividend yield

Expected volatility

45.21%

45.10%

Expected lives (years)

6.3 

6.3 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock and peer group comparisons over the expected life of the option. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate in effect at the time of the grant. The life of the option is based on historical factors which include the contractual term, vesting period, exercise behavior and employee terminations. In accordance with ASC 718, stock based compensation expense for the period ended June 30, 2023 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

The Company estimates forfeitures using historical data or acceptable expedients. Note 4. Earnings Per Share The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including stock options and RSUs or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Stock options are dilutive if their exercise prices are less than the current stock price. RSUs are dilutive because they represent grants over vesting periods which do not require employees to pay exercise prices. The dilution shown in the tables below includes the potential dilution from both stock options and RSUs. The following tables show the Company’s earnings per share for the periods presented: For the three months ended June 30, 2023 Income Shares Per share (numerator) (denominator) amount (Dollars in thousands except share and per share data) Basic earnings per share Net earnings available to common shareholders $ 49,009 54,871,681 $ 0.89 Effect of dilutive securities Common stock options and RSUs — 397,959 — Diluted earnings per share Net earnings available to common shareholders $ 49,009 55,269,640 $ 0.89 Stock options for 465,104 shares, exercisable at prices between $6.87 and $18.81 per share, were outstanding at June 30, 2023, and included in the diluted earnings per share computation because the exercise price per share was less than the average market price.

The Company owns one single issuer trust preferred security issued by an insurance company. The security is not rated by any bond rating service. At June 30, 2023, this security had a book value of $10.0 million and a fair value of $8.3 million. This security is presented in the corporate debt securities classification in the tables above.

The Company has evaluated the securities in the above tables as of June 30, 2023 and has concluded that none of these securities required an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The Company previously evaluated the securities in the above tables as of December 31, 2022 and concluded that none of these securities required an ACL. The Company evaluates whether an ACL is required by considering primarily the following factors: (a) the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost of the security, (b) changes in the financial condition, credit rating and near-term prospects of the issuer, (c) whether the issuer is current on contractually obligated interest and principal payments, (d) changes in the financial condition of the security’s underlying collateral and (e) the payment structure of the security. The Company’s determination of the best estimate of expected future cash flows, which is used to determine the credit loss amount, is a quantitative and qualitative process that incorporates information received from third-party sources along with internal assumptions and judgments regarding the future performance of the security. The Company concluded that the securities that are in an unrealized loss position are in a loss position because of changes in market interest rates after the securities were purchased. The Company’s unrealized loss for corporate debt securities, resulted from one single issuer trust preferred security, and is primarily related to general market conditions, including a lack of liquidity in the market. The severity of the impact of fair value in relation to the carrying amounts of the individual investments is consistent with market developments. The Company’s analysis of each investment is performed at the security level.

 

Note 6. Loans

The Company has several lending lines of business including: small business loans (“SBLs”), comprised primarily of SBA loans; direct lease financing primarily for commercial vehicles and to a lesser extent equipment; SBLOC collateralized by marketable securities; IBLOC collateralized by the cash value of eligible life insurance policies; and investment advisor financing for purposes of debt refinance, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Prior to 2020, the Company also originated commercial real estate bridge loans for sale into securitizations. At origination, the Company elected fair value treatment for these loans as they were originally held-for-sale, to better reflect the economics of the transactions. In 2020, the Company decided to retain these loans on its balance sheet and currently intends to continue to do so. Therefore, these loans are no longer accounted for as held-for-sale, but the Company continues to present them at fair value. At June 30, 2023, such loans comprised $262.5 million of the $396.6 million of commercial loans, at fair value, with the balance comprised of SBA loans also previously held for sale. The amortized cost of the $396.6 million commercial loans at fair value was $398.5 million. Included in “Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on commercial loans, at fair value” in the consolidated statements of operations are changes in the estimated fair value of such loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, related net unrealized losses recognized for changes in fair value were $1.3 million, $365,000 of which reflected losses attributable to credit weaknesses. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net unrealized losses recognized for such changes in fair value were $1.5 million, which reflected $650,000 of loss attributable to credit weaknesses. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company resumed the origination of commercial real estate bridge loans which it also intends to hold for investment and which are accounted for at amortized cost. They are captioned as REBLs as they are transitional commercial mortgage loans which are made to improve and rehabilitate existing properties which already have cash flow.

The Bank has pledged the majority of its loans held for investment at amortized cost and commercial loans at fair value to either the FHLB or the Federal Reserve Bank for lines of credit with those institutions. The FHLB and FRB lines are periodically utilized to manage liquidity.

14


The amount of loans pledged varies and the collateral may be unpledged at any time to the extent the collateral exceeds advances. The lines are maintained consistent with the Bank’s liquidity policy which maximizes potential liquidity. At June 30, 2023, $2.72 billion of loans were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank and $1.10 billion of loans were pledged to the FHLB. There were no balances against these lines at June 30, 2023.

Prior to 2020, the Company sponsored the structuring of commercial mortgage loan securitizations, and in 2020, the Company decided not to pursue additional securitizations. The loans previously sold to the commercial mortgage-backed securitizations were transitional commercial mortgage loans made to improve and rehabilitate existing properties which already had cash flow. Servicing rights were not retained. Each of the securitizations is considered a variable interest entity of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Further, true sale accounting has been applicable to each of the securitizations, as supported by a review performed by an independent third-party consultant. In each of the securitizations, the Company obtained a tranche of certificates which are accounted for as available-for-sale debt securities. The securities were recorded at fair value at acquisition, which was determined by an independent third-party based on the discounted cash flow method using unobservable (level 3) inputs.

Of the six securities purchased by the Bank from our securitizations, all have been repaid except one issued by CRE-2. As of June 30, 2023, the principal balance of the Bank’s CRE-2-issued security was $12.6 million and it is subordinate to the repayment of a senior tranche with a remaining balance of $3.3 million. A total of $15.9 million plus trustee fees and late charges is required to repay the Bank tranche. The collateral remaining to repay the $15.9 million consists of a suburban office building in New Jersey and a retail facility in Missouri, the combined most recent appraisals for which total $33.0 million. The excess of the $33.0 million appraised value over the $15.9 million provides repayment protection for the Bank-owned tranche. Efforts to resolve the New Jersey suburban office loan and stabilize the property have not been successful to date. A 2023 broker’s opinion of the property’s liquidation value was $20.9 million versus a loan balance of $24.5 million. Negotiations with the borrower continue, with no plan for immediate liquidation. The Missouri retail facility is also not yet stabilized, and the special servicer expects to market the property for liquidation in 2023. The March 9, 2023 appraised value of the property was $12.1 million versus a loan balance of $16.3 million. Since borrowers are no longer making payments, accrued interest and the Bank’s remaining $12.6 million are not expected to be repaid until collateral liquidation.

The Company analyzes credit risk prior to making loans on an individual loan basis. The Company considers relevant aspects of the borrowers’ financial position and cash flow, past borrower performance, management’s knowledge of market conditions, collateral and the ratio of loan amounts to estimated collateral value in making its credit determinations.

Interest which would have been earned on loans classified as non-accrual for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $399,000 and $68,000, respectively. No income on non-accrual loans was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2023. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, $89,000 of legacy commercial real estate, $89,000 of SBL commercial real estate, $3,000 of SBL non-real estate, and $50,000 of direct leasing were reversed from interest income, which represented interest accrued on loans placed into non-accrual status during the period. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, $139,000 of SBL commercial real estate and $59,000 of SBL non-real estate was reversed from interest income, which represented interest accrued on loans placed into non-accrual status during the period. Material amounts of non-accrual interest reversals are charged to the ACL, but such amounts were not material in either the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Effective January 1, 2023 loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are required to be disclosed by type of modification and by type of loan. Prior accounting guidance classified loans which were modified as troubled debt restructurings only if the modification reflected a concession from the lender in the form of a below market interest rate or other concession in addition to borrower financial difficulty. Under the new guidance, loans with modifications will be reported whether a concession is made or not. Loans previously classified as troubled debt restructurings will continue to be reported in the following tables and loans with modifications made after January 1, 2023 will be reported under the new loan modification guidance. As of June 30, 2023 loans modified and related information are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(1)Troubled debt restructurings included non-accrual loans of $4.9 million and $1.4 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to loans classified as either modified or troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Under the previous accounting guidance explained above, when loans were classified as troubled debt restructurings, the Company estimated the value of underlying collateral and repayment sources. A specific reserve in the ACL was established if the collateral valuation, less estimated disposition costs, was lower than the recorded loan value. The amount of the specific reserve served to increase the provision for credit losses in the quarter the loan was classified as a troubled debt restructuring. As of June 30, 2023, there were nine troubled debt restructured loans with an aggregate balance of $5.2 million which had specific reserves of $571,000. As of December 31, 2022, there were eleven troubled debt restructured loans with an aggregate balance of $5.3 million which had specific reserves of $637,000. Substantially all of these reserves related to the non-guaranteed portion of SBA loans for start-up businesses. While the new guidance eliminates the troubled debt restructuring classification, loans previously classified as such will now be reported as loans with modifications, whether or not the modification reflected a lender concession. Specific reserves for loans with balances which exceed collateral values will continue to be required in the ACL.

Management estimates the ACL using relevant available internal and external historical loan performance information, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the initial basis for the estimation of expected credit losses over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The methodology used in the estimation of the ACL, which is performed at least quarterly, is also designed to be responsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and the impact of current and future economic conditions on loan performance. The review of the appropriateness of the ACL is performed by the Chief Credit Officer and presented to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) for their review. With the exception of SBLOC and IBLOC, which utilize probability of loss/loss given default, and the other loan category, which uses discounted cash flow to determine a reserve, the ACLs for other categories are determined by establishing reserves on loan pools with similar risk characteristics based on a lifetime loss-rate model, or vintage analysis, as described in the following paragraph. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. If foreclosure is believed to be probable or repayment is expected from the sale of the collateral, a reserve for deficiency is established within the ACL. Those reserves are estimated based on the difference between loan principal and the estimated fair value of the collateral, adjusted for estimated disposition costs.

Except for SBLOC, IBLOC and other loans as noted above, for purposes of determining the pool-basis reserve, the loans not assigned an individual reserve are segregated by product type, to recognize differing risk characteristics within portfolio segments, and an average historical loss rate is calculated for each product type. Loss rates are computed by classifying net charge-offs by year of loan origin, and dividing into total originations for that specific year. This methodology is referred to as vintage analysis. The average loss rate is then projected over the estimated remaining loan lives unique to each loan pool, to determine estimated lifetime losses. For SBLOC and IBLOC, since significant losses have not been incurred, probability of loss/loss given default considerations are utilized. For the other loan category discounted cash flow is utilized to determine a reserve. For all loan pools the Company considers the need for an additional ACL based upon qualitative factors such as the Company’s current loan performance statistics by pool. These qualitative factors are intended to account for forward looking expectations over a twelve to eighteen month period not reflected in historical loss rates and otherwise unaccounted for in the quantitative process. Accordingly, such factors may increase or decrease the allowance compared to historical loss rates as the Company’s forward looking expectations change. The qualitative factor percentages are applied against the pool balances as of the end of the period. Aside from the qualitative adjustments to account for forward looking expectations of loss over a twelve to eighteen month projection period, the balance of the ACL reverts directly to the Company’s quantitative analysis derived from its historical loss rates. The qualitative and historical loss rate component, together with the allowances on specific loans, comprise the total ACL.

A similar process is employed to calculate an ACL assigned to off-balance sheet commitments, which are comprised of unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. That ACL for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities. Even though portions of the ACL may be allocated to loans that have been individually measured for credit deterioration, the entire ACL is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

At June 30, 2023, the ACL amounted to $23.3 million of which $8.9 million of allowances resulted from the Company’s historical charge-off ratios, $2.4 million from reserves on specific loans, with the balance comprised of the qualitative components. The $8.9 million resulted primarily from SBA non-real estate and leasing charge-offs. The proportion of qualitative reserves compared to charge-off history related reserves reflects that charge-offs have not been experienced in the Company’s largest loan portfolios consisting of SBLOC and IBLOC and real estate bridge lending. The absence of significant charge-offs reflects, at least in part, the nature of related collateral respectively consisting of marketable securities, the cash value of life insurance and workforce apartment buildings. As charge-offs are nonetheless possible, significant subjectivity is required to consider qualitative factors to derive the related component of the allowance.

The Company ranks its qualitative factors in five levels: minimal, low, moderate, moderate-high and high-risk. The individual qualitative factors for each portfolio segment have their own scale based on an analysis of that segment. A high-risk ranking results in the largest increase in the ACL calculation with each level below having a lesser impact on a sliding scale. The qualitative factors used for each portfolio are described below in the description of each portfolio segment. When the Company adopted current expected credit loss accounting (“CECL”) methodology as of January 1, 2020, the management assumption was that some degree of economic slowdown should be considered over the next eighteen months. That belief reflected the length of the current economic expansion and the relatively high level of unsustainable U.S. government deficit spending. Accordingly, the economic qualitative factor for certain loan pools was set at moderate as of January 1, 2020. Based on the uncertainty as to how the COVID-19 pandemic would impact the Company’s loan pools, the Company increased certain qualitative factors to moderate and moderate-high in 2020.

19


In the second quarter of 2021, the Company reassessed those factors and reversed increases to moderate-high for certain pools, based upon increased vaccination rates and significant reopening of the economy. As a result of continuing economic uncertainty, including heightened inflation and increased risks of recession, the qualitative factors which had been set in anticipation of a downturn at January 1, 2020, were maintained through the third quarter of 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, as risks of a recession increased, the economic qualitative risk factor was increased for non-real estate SBL and leasing. Those higher qualitative allocations were retained in the first quarter of 2023, as negative economic indications persisted. The second quarter 2023 $361,000 provision for credit losses reflected net CECL model adjustments of $1.7 million resulting from a $2.5 million CECL model decrease from changes in estimated average lives, partially offset by a $794,000 CECL model increase from an elevation to respective moderate-high and moderate risk levels for leasing economic and collateral factors. The adjustment for average lives primarily reflected a change in the estimated lives of leases, higher variances for which may result from their short maturities. The elevated economic risk level for leasing reflected input from department heads regarding the potential borrower impact of the higher rate environment. The elevated collateral risk level for leasing reflected lower auction prices for vehicles and uncertainty over the extent to which such prices might decrease in the future. Additionally, the second quarter provision reflected increases of reserves on stressed credits of $709,000 (primarily leasing), and the impact of $937,000 of net-charge offs, primarily from leasing and small business loan charge-offs.

The Company has not increased the qualitative risk levels for SBLOC or IBLOC because of the nature of related collateral. SBLOC loans are subject to maximum loan to marketable securities value, and notwithstanding historic drops in the stock market in recent years, losses have not been realized. IBLOC loans are limited to borrowers with insurance companies that exceed credit requirements, and loan amounts are limited to life insurance cash values. The Company also has not increased the economic factor for multi-family real estate bridge lending. While Federal Reserve rate increases directly increase real estate bridge loan floating rate borrowing costs, those borrowers are required to purchase interest rate caps that will partially limit the increase in borrowing costs during the term of the loan. Additionally, there continues to be several additional mitigating factors within the multifamily sector that should continue to fuel demand. Higher interest rates are increasing the cost to purchase a home, which in turn is increasing the number of renters and subsequent demand for multifamily. The softening demand for new homes should continue to exacerbate the current housing shortage, and therefore continue to fuel demand for multifamily apartment homes. Additionally, higher rents in the multifamily sector are causing renters to be more price sensitive, which is driving demand for most of the apartment buildings within the Company’s loan portfolio which management considers “workforce” housing. As a result, the REBL qualitative economic factor was not increased.

The economic qualitative factor is based on the estimated impact of economic conditions on the loan pools, as distinguished from the economic factors themselves, for the following reasons. The Company has not experienced multi-family (apartment building) loan charge-offs, despite stressed economic conditions. Accordingly, the ACL for this pool was derived from a qualitative factor based on industry loss information for multi-family housing. Similarly, the Company’s charge-offs have been virtually non-existent for SBLOC and IBLOC notwithstanding stressed economic periods, and their ACL is determined by qualitative factors. Investment advisor loans were first offered in 2020 with limited performance history, during which charge-offs have not been experienced. For investment advisor loans, the nature of the underlying ultimate repayment source was considered, namely the fee-based advisory income streams resulting from investment portfolios under management, and the impact changes in economic conditions would have on those payment streams. The qualitative factors used for this and the other portfolios are described below in the description of each portfolio segment. Additionally, the Company’s charge-off histories for SBLs, primarily SBA, and leases have not correlated with economic conditions, including trends in unemployment. While specific economic factors did not correlate with actual historical losses, multiple economic factors are considered in the economic qualitative factor. For the non-guaranteed portion of SBA loans, leases, real estate bridge lending and investment advisor financing, the Company’s loss forecasting analysis included a review of industry statistics. However, the Company’s own charge-off history and average life estimates, for categories in which the Company has experienced charge-offs, was the primary quantitatively-derived element in the forecasts. The qualitative component results from management’s qualitative assessments which consider internal and external inputs. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company adjusted its collateral qualitative factor for SBLs downward to account for a greater percentage of government guaranteed balances in applicable pools as compared to prior periods. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2022, allowances on credit deteriorated loans were reduced. The largest reduction was $1.0 million which resulted when single family units from a construction loan were sold for higher than expected prices. That loan had been included in discontinued loans prior to first quarter 2022, when discontinued assets were reclassified to continuing operations. The Company no longer engages in new construction residential lending.

20


Below are the portfolio segments used to pool loans with similar risk characteristics and align with the Company’s methodology for measuring expected credit losses. These pools have similar risk and collateral characteristics, and certain of these pools are broken down further in determining and applying the vintage loss estimates previously discussed. For instance, within the direct lease financing pool, government and public institution leases are considered separately. Additionally, the Company evaluates its loans under an internal loan risk rating system as a means of identifying problem loans. The special mention classification indicates weaknesses that may, if not cured, threaten the borrower’s future repayment ability. A substandard classification reflects an existing weakness indicating the possible inadequacy of net worth and other repayment sources. These classifications are used both by regulators and peers, as they have been correlated with an increased probability of credit losses. A summary of the Company’s primary portfolio pools and loans accordingly classified, by year of origination, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

(1)Included in the SBL non real estate non-rated total of $6.6 million was $4.5 million of SBA PPP loans, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government.

(2)Included in Other loans are $15.4 million of SBA loans purchased for CRA purposes as of December 31, 2022. These loans are classified as SBL in the Company’s loan table, which classifies loans by type, as opposed to risk characteristics.

SBL. Substantially all SBLs consist of SBA loans. The Bank participates in loan programs established by the SBA, including the 7(a) Loan Guarantee Program (the “7(a) Program”), the 504 Fixed Asset Financing Program (the “504 Program”), and the discontinued PPP.

23


The 7(a) Program is designed to help small business borrowers start or expand their businesses by providing partial guarantees of loans made by banks and non-bank lending institutions for specific business purposes, including long or short term working capital; funds for the purchase of equipment, machinery, supplies and materials; funds for the purchase, construction or renovation of real estate; and funds to acquire, operate or expand an existing business or refinance existing debt, all under conditions established by the SBA. The 504 Program includes the financing of real estate and commercial mortgages. In 2020 and 2021, the Company also participated in the PPP, which provided short-term loans to small businesses. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. This program was a specific response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the vast majority of these loans have been reimbursed by the U.S. government, with $3.8 million remaining to be reimbursed as of June 30, 2023. The Company segments the SBL portfolio into four pools: non-real estate, commercial mortgage and construction to capture the risk characteristics of each pool, and the PPP loans discussed above. PPP loans are not included in the risk pools because they have inherently different risk characteristics due to the U.S. government guarantee. In the table above, the PPP loans are included in non-rated SBL non-real estate. The qualitative factors for SBL loans focus on pool loan performance, underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans and changes in economic conditions. Additionally, the construction segment adds a qualitative factor for general construction risk, such as construction delays resulting from labor shortages or availability/pricing of construction materials.

Direct lease financing. The Company provides lease financing for commercial and government vehicle fleets and, to a lesser extent, provides lease financing for other equipment. Leases are either open-end or closed-end. An open-end lease is one in which, at the end of the lease term, the lessee must pay the difference between the amount at which the Company sells the leased asset and the stated termination value. Termination value is a contractual value agreed to by the parties at the inception of a lease as to the value of the leased asset at the end of the lease term. A closed-end lease is one for which no such payment is due on lease termination. In a closed-end lease, the risk that the amount received on a sale of the leased asset will be less than the residual value is assumed by the Bank, as lessor. The qualitative factors for direct lease financing focus on underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, portfolio loan performance, loan concentrations and changes in economic conditions.

SBLOC. SBLOC loans are made to individuals, trusts and entities and are secured by a pledge of marketable securities maintained in one or more accounts for which the Company obtains a securities account control agreement. The securities pledged may be either debt or equity securities or a combination thereof, but all such securities must be listed for trading on a national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system. SBLOCs are typically payable on demand. Maximum SBLOC line amounts are calculated by applying a standard “advance rate” calculation against the eligible security type depending on asset class: typically, up to 50% for equity securities and mutual fund securities and 80% for investment grade (Standard & Poor’s rating of BBB- or higher, or Moody’s rating of Baa3 or higher) municipal or corporate debt securities. Substantially all SBLOCs have full recourse to the borrower. The underlying securities collateral for SBLOC loans is monitored on a daily basis to confirm the composition of the client portfolio and its daily market value. The primary qualitative factor in the SBLOC analysis is the ratio of loans outstanding to market value. This factor has been maintained at low levels, which has remained appropriate as losses have not materialized despite the historic declines in the equity markets during 2020, during which there were no losses. Significant losses have not been incurred since inception of this line of business. Additionally, the advance rates noted above were established to provide the Company with protection from declines in market conditions from the origination date of the lines of credit.

IBLOC. IBLOC loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of eligible insurance policies. Should a loan default, the primary risks for IBLOCs are if the insurance company issuing the policy were to become insolvent, or if that company would fail to recognize the Bank’s assignment of policy proceeds. To mitigate these risks, insurance company ratings are periodically evaluated for compliance with Bank standards. Additionally, the Bank utilizes assignments of cash surrender value, which legal counsel has concluded are enforceable. The qualitative factors for IBLOC primarily focus on the concentration risk with insurance companies.

Investment advisor financing. In 2020, the Bank began originating loans to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinancing, acquisition of another firm or internal succession. Maximum loan amounts are subject to loan-to-value ratios of 70%, based on third party business appraisals, but may be increased depending upon the debt service coverage ratio. Personal guarantees and blanket business liens are obtained as appropriate. As credit losses have not been experienced, the ACL is determined by qualitative factors. The qualitative factors for investment advisor financing focus on historical industry losses, changes in lending policies and procedures, portfolio performance and economic conditions.

Real estate bridge loans. Real estate bridge loans are transitional commercial mortgage loans which are made to improve and rehabilitate existing properties which already have cash flow, and which are securitized by those properties. The portfolio is comprised primarily of apartment buildings. Prior to 2020, such loans were originated for securitization and loans which had been originated but not securitized continue to be accounted for at fair value in “Commercial loans, at fair value”, on the balance sheet. In 2021, originations resumed and are being held for investment in “Loans, net of deferred fees and costs”, on the balance sheet. As credit losses have not been experienced for multi-family (apartment building loans) which comprise the REBL portfolio, the ACL is determined by qualitative factors. Qualitative factors focus on historical industry losses, changes in economic conditions, underlying collateral and portfolio performance.

24


Other loans. Other loans include commercial and consumer loans including home equity lines of credit which the Company generally no longer offers. Qualitative factors focus on changes in the underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans, portfolio loan performance, loan concentrations and changes in economic conditions.

Expected credit losses are estimated over the estimated remaining lives of loans. The estimate excludes possible extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation that a loan will be restructured, or the extension or renewal options are included in the borrower contract and are not unconditionally cancellable by us.

The Company does not measure an ACL on accrued interest receivable balances, because these balances are written off in a timely manner as a reduction to interest income when loans are placed on non-accrual status.

ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on such off-balance sheet credit exposures, also referred to as loan commitments, is adjusted through the provision for credit losses. The estimate considers the likelihood that funding will occur over the estimated life of the commitment. The amount of the ACL account as of June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022 was $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

A detail of the changes in the ACL by loan category and summary of loans evaluated individually and collectively for credit deterioration is as follows (in thousands):

The Company did not have loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at either June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. In the first six months of 2023, the Company purchased $2.0 million of lease receivables and $37.7 million of SBLs, none of which were credit deteriorated. Additionally, in the first six months of 2023 the Company participated in SBLs with other institutions in the amount of $3.0 million.

The delinquent loans in the following table are treated as collateral dependent to the extent they have resulted from borrower financial difficulty (and not from administrative delays or other mitigating factors), and are not brought current. For non-accrual loans, the Company establishes a reserve in the allowance for credit losses for deficiencies between estimated collateral and loan carrying values. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any significant changes to the extent to which collateral secures its collateral dependent loans due to general collateral deterioration or from other factors. SBL non-real estate are collateralized by business assets, which may include certain real estate. SBL commercial mortgage and construction are collateralized by real estate for small businesses, while real estate bridge lending is primarily collateralized by apartment buildings, or other commercial real estate. SBLOC is collateralized by marketable investment securities while IBLOC is collateralized by the cash value of life insurance. Advisor financing is collateralized by investment advisors’ business franchises. Direct lease financing is collateralized primarily by vehicles, or equipment.

Note 7. Transactions with Affiliates

The Bank did not maintain any deposits for various affiliated companies as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Bank has entered into lending transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliates of such persons. All loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender. At June 30, 2023, these loans were current as to principal and interest payments and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability. Loans to these related parties amounted to $3.5 million at June 30, 2023 and $5.5 million at December 31, 2022.

Mr. Hersh Kozlov, a director of the Company, is a partner at Duane Morris LLP, an international law firm. The Company paid Duane Morris LLP $2,800 and $794,000 for legal services for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. However, many such instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Accordingly, estimated fair values are determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology it believes to be suitable for each category of financial instruments. Also, it is the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity whether or not categorized as available-for-sale and not to engage in trading or sales activities although it has sold loans in the past and may do so in the future. For fair value disclosure purposes, the Company utilized certain value measurement criteria required in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), as discussed below.

Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values.

Cash and cash equivalents, which are comprised of cash and due from banks and the Company’s balance at the Federal Reserve Bank, had recorded values of $880.5 million and $888.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which approximated fair values.

The estimated fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices, if available, or estimated using a methodology based on management’s inputs. Level 3 investment security fair values are based on the present valuing of cash flows, which discounts expected cash flows from principal and interest using yield to maturity, or yield to call as appropriate, at the measurement date. In the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between the three levels.

FHLB stock, ACBB stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock are held as required by those respective institutions and are carried at cost. Each of these institutions require their correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership. While a fixed stock amount is required by each of these institutions, the FHLB stock requirement increases or decreases with the level of borrowing activity.

Commercial loans held at fair value are comprised primarily of commercial real estate bridge loans and SBA loans which had been originated for sale or securitization in the secondary market, and which are now being held on the balance sheet. Commercial real estate bridge loans and SBA loans are valued using a discounted cash flow analysis based upon pricing for similar loans where market indications of the sales price of such loans are not available. SBA loans are valued on a pooled basis and commercial real estate bridge loans are valued individually.

Loans, net have an estimated fair value using the present value of future cash flows. The discount rate used in these calculations is the estimated current market rate adjusted for credit risk. Accrued interest receivable has a carrying value that approximates fair value.

Loan fair values are based on “unobservable inputs” that are based on available information. Level 3 fair values are based on the present value of cash flows by unit of measurement. In the first quarter of 2022, discontinued loans were reclassified to loans held for investment, as efforts to sell the loans had concluded. Accordingly, these loans are accounted for as such, and included in related tables. Discontinued OREO, which constituted the remainder of discontinued assets, was reclassified to the OREO caption on the consolidated balance sheet. 

For OREO, market value is based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by third-party appraisers, reduced by 7% to 10% for estimated selling costs.

The estimated fair values of demand deposits (comprised of interest and non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and certain types of money market accounts) are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (generally, their carrying amounts). The fair values of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term borrowings, when outstanding, are equal to their carrying amounts as they are short-term borrowings.

Time deposits, when outstanding, senior debt and subordinated debentures have a fair value estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to discount expected cash flows. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Long term borrowings resulted from sold loans which did not qualify for true sale accounting. They are presented in the amount of the principal of such loans.

The fair values of interest rate swaps, recorded in other assets or other liabilities, are determined using models that use readily observable market inputs and a market standard methodology applied to the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate indices.

30


The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated based on the amount of unamortized deferred loan commitment fees. The fair value of letters of credit is based on the amount of unearned fees plus the estimated cost to terminate the letters of credit. Fair values of unrecognized financial instruments, including commitments to extend credit, and the fair value of letters of credit are considered immaterial.

In addition, ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to assets and liabilities. It clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures concerning fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Level 1 valuation is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Company has access at the measurement date. Level 2 valuation is based on other observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. This includes quoted prices for similar assets in active or inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, default rates, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated through, observable market data by market-corroborated reports. Level 3 valuation is based on “unobservable inputs” which the Company believes is the best information available in the circumstances. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The valuations for each of the instruments above, as of the balance sheet date, are subject to judgments, assumptions and uncertainties, changes in which could have a significant impact on such valuations. Weighted averages were calculated by using the discount rate for each individual security or loan weighted by its market value, except for SBA loans. For SBA loans, the yields derived from market pricing indications for pools determined by date of loan origination were weighted. For commercial loans recorded at fair value, changes in fair value are reflected in the income statement. Changes in the fair value of securities which are unrelated to credit are recorded through equity. Changes in the fair value of loans recorded at amortized cost which are unrelated to credit are a disclosure item, without impact on the financial statements. The notes below refer to the June 30, 2023 table.

(1)Commercial mortgage-backed investment security, consisting of a single Bank-issued CRE security, is valued using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate and prepayment rate applied are based upon market observations and actual experience for comparable securities and implicitly assume market averages for defaults and loss severities. The CRE-2 security has significant credit enhancement, or protection from other tranches in the issue, which limits the valuation exposure to credit losses. Nonetheless, increases in expected default rates or loss severities on the loans underlying the issue could reduce its value. In market environments in which investors demand greater yield compensation for credit risk, the discount rate applied would ordinarily be higher and the valuation lower. Changes in prepayments and loss experience could also change the interest earned on this holding in future periods and impact its fair value. As a single security, the weighted average rate shown is the actual rate applied to the CRE-2 security.

(2)Insurance liquidating trust preferred security is a single debenture which is valued using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate used is based on the market rate on comparable relatively illiquid instruments and credit analysis. A change in the liquidating trust’s ability to repay the note, or an increase in interest rates, particularly for privately placed debentures, would affect the discount rate and thus the valuation. As a single security, the weighted average rate shown is the actual rate applied to the security.

(3)Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs are valued using discounted cash flow analysis. Discount rates are based upon available information for estimated current origination rates for each loan type. Origination rates may fluctuate based upon changes in the risk free (Treasury) rate and credit experience for each loan type.

(4)Commercial – SBA Loans are comprised of the government guaranteed portion of SBA-insured loans. Their valuation is based upon the yield derived from dealer pricing indications for guaranteed pools, adjusted for seasoning and prepayments. A limited number of broker/dealers originate the pooled securities for which the loans are purchased and as a result, prices can fluctuate based on such limited market demand, although the government guarantee has resulted in consistent historical demand. Valuations are impacted by prepayment assumptions resulting from both voluntary payoffs and defaults. Such assumptions for both poolable and seasoned loans are based on a seasoning vector for constant prepayment rates from 3% to 30% over life.

(5)Non-SBA commercial real estate – fixed are fixed rate non-SBA commercial real estate mortgages. These loans are fair valued by a third party, based upon discounting at market rates for similar loans. Discount rates used in applying discounted cash flow analysis utilize input based upon loan terms, the general level of interest rates and the quality of the credit. Deterioration in loan performance or other credit weaknesses could result in fair value ranges which would be dependent upon potential buyers’ tolerance for such weaknesses and are difficult to estimate.

34


(6)Non-SBA commercial real estate – floating are floating rate non-SBA loans, the vast majority of which are secured by multi-family properties (apartments). These are bridge loans designed to provide owners time and funding for property improvements and are generally valued using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate for the vast majority of these loans was based upon current origination rates for similar loans. Deterioration in loan performance or other credit weaknesses could result in fair value ranges which would be dependent upon potential buyers’ tolerance for such weaknesses and are difficult to estimate. At June 30, 2023, these loans were fair valued by a third party, based upon discounting at market rates for similar loans.

(7)Subordinated debentures are comprised of two subordinated notes issued by the Company, maturing in 2038 with a floating rate originally indexed to three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.25%. In the second quarter of 2023, the index was changed to secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as part of the market-wide LIBOR transition. These notes are valued using discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate is based on the market rate for comparable relatively illiquid instruments. Changes in those market rates, or the credit of the Company could result in changes in valuation.

(8)For OREO, fair value is based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by third party appraisers, reduced by 7% to 10% for estimated selling costs. Such appraisals reflect estimates of amounts realizable upon property sales based on the sale of comparable properties and other factors. Actual sales prices may vary based upon the identification of potential purchasers, changing conditions in local real estate markets and the level of interest rates required to finance purchases.

(1)The method of valuation approach for the loans evaluated for an allowance for credit losses on an individual loan basis and also for OREO was the market approach based upon appraisals of the underlying collateral by external appraisers, reduced by 7% to 10% for estimated selling costs. Intangible assets are valued based upon internal analyses.

 

At June 30, 2023, principal on collateral dependent loans and troubled debt restructurings, which is accounted for on the basis of the value of underlying collateral, is shown at estimated fair value of $12.0 million. To arrive at that fair value, related loan principal of $14.3 million was reduced by specific reserves of $2.4 million within the ACL as of that date, representing the deficiency between principal and estimated collateral values, which were reduced by estimated costs to sell. When the deficiency is deemed uncollectible, it is charged off by reducing the specific reserve and decreasing principal. Included in the collateral dependent loans at June 30, 2023 were nine troubled debt restructured loans with a balance of $5.2 million, which had specific reserves of $571,000. Included in the collateral dependent loans at December 31, 2022, were eleven troubled debt restructured loans with a balance of $5.3 million which had specific allowances of $637,000. Under the new accounting guidance effective January 1, 2023, which broadened the reporting of loan restructurings to include all modifications, there was one $180,000 loan classified as modified as of June 30, 2023. There was no specific reserve on that loan. Valuation techniques consistent with the market and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs for the individual collateral dependent loans being evaluated such as recent sales of similar assets or observable market data for operational or carrying costs. In cases where such inputs were unobservable, the loan balance is reflected within the Level 3 hierarchy.

 

Note 9. Derivatives

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to assist in the management of interest rate sensitivity by modifying the repricing, maturity and option characteristics on certain non-SBA commercial estate loans held at fair value. These instruments are not accounted for as effective hedges. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had entered into one interest rate swap agreement with an aggregate notional amount of $6.8 million.

35


Under that swap agreement the Company receives an adjustable rate of interest based upon LIBOR. The Company recorded a net gain of $15,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to recognize the fair value of the derivative instrument which is reported in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on commercial loans, at fair value, in the consolidated statements of operations. The amount receivable by the Company under this swap agreement was $423,000 at June 30, 2023, which is reported in other assets. The Company had minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and had posted cash collateral of $534,000 as of June 30, 2023.

The maturity date, notional amount, interest rate paid and received and fair value of the Company’s remaining interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2023 is summarized below (dollars in thousands):

Note 10. Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

In May 2016, the Company purchased approximately $60.0 million of lease receivables which resulted in a customer list intangible of $3.4 million that is being amortized over a ten year period. Amortization expense is $340,000 per year ($1.0 million over the next five years). The gross carrying amount of the customer list intangible is $3.4 million, and as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the accumulated amortization expense was $2.4 million and $2.3 million.

In January 2020, the Company purchased McMahon Leasing and subsidiaries for approximately $8.7 million which resulted in $1.1 million of intangibles. The gross carrying value of $1.1 million of intangibles was comprised of a customer list intangible of $689,000, goodwill of $263,000 and a trade name valuation of $135,000. The customer list intangible is being amortized over a twelve year period and accumulated amortization expense was $201,000 at June 30, 2023 and $172,000 at December 31, 2022. Amortization expense is $57,000 per year ($287,000 over the next five years).

Note 11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform in Financial Reporting, which addressed optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, resulting from the phase-out of the LIBOR reference rate. The Company discontinued LIBOR-based originations in 2021; however, certain financial instruments outstanding were indexed to LIBOR, including non-SBA commercial loans, at fair value. All such loans were either paid off or modified to exclude reference to LIBOR as of June 30, 2023. When the Company resumed originating non-SBA commercial loans in the third quarter of 2021, which are identified separately under real estate bridge loans, it utilized SOFR as the index. In addition, the Company owns collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and U.S. government agency adjustable-rate mortgages the coupons for which were indexed to LIBOR. CLOs, which amounted to $324.7 million at June 30, 2023, generally have language regarding an index alternative should LIBOR no longer be available and are expected to replace the LIBOR index with SOFR plus an appropriate tenor adjustment. U.S. government agencies generally have the ability to adjust interest rate indices as necessary on impacted LIBOR based securities, which amounted to $60.0 million at June 30, 2023. The Company’s student loan securities of $7.1 million will calculate quarterly coupons indexed to 90-day average SOFR plus a tenor adjustment as specified in the controlling Fed Register notice (Section 253.4) and interest payments on its subordinated debentures payable of $13.4 million at June 30, 2023 will be calculated based upon a SOFR index plus the appropriate tenor adjustment for Index Determination Dates subsequent to June 30, 2023.These debentures mature in March 2038 and are grandfathered to qualify as tier-1 capital at the Bank. The Company’s sole derivative, the notional amount of which totaled $6.8 million at June 30, 2023, is an interest rate swap that is documented under a bilateral agreement which contains LIBOR fallback provisions by virtue of counterparty adherence to the 2020 International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.’s LIBOR Fallbacks Protocol. The Bank also owns $10.0 million of a Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debenture, with a market value of $8.3 million at June 30, 2023, issued by an insurance holding company in liquidation for which the rate index has been three-month LIBOR will calculate future interest payments based on SOFR plus the appropriate tenor adjustment.

36


In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, which extended the original transition period end date referenced in ASU No. 2020-04 to December 31, 2024. However, the LIBOR index used for the Company’s financial instruments was terminated as of June 30, 2023, and remaining instruments have generally been transitioned to SOFR without a material impact. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the CECL model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and modifications. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023. Effective January 1, 2023 loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are required to be disclosed by type of modification and by type of loan. Prior accounting guidance classified loans which were modified as troubled debt restructurings only if the modification reflected a concession from the lender in the form of a below market interest rate or other concession in addition to borrower financial difficulty. Under the new guidance, loans with modifications are being reported whether a concession is made or not. Note 12. Shareholders’ Equity On October 20, 2021, the Board approved a common stock repurchase program for the 2022 fiscal year (the “2022 Repurchase Program”). Under the 2022 Repurchase Program, the Company repurchased $15.0 million in value of the Company’s common stock in each quarter of 2022. On October 26, 2022, the Board approved a common stock repurchase program for the 2023 fiscal year (the “2023 Repurchase Program”), which authorizes the Company to repurchase $25.0 million in value of the Company’s common stock per fiscal quarter in 2023, for a maximum amount of $100.0 million. Under the 2023 Repurchase Program, the Company intends to repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The 2023 Repurchase Program may be modified or terminated at any time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 828,727 shares and 1,607,169 shares of its common stock in the open market under the 2023 Repurchase Program at an average price of $30.17 per share and $31.11 per share, respectively. Note 13. Regulatory Matters It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that financial holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organization’s expected future needs and financial condition. The policy provides that a financial holding company should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the financial holding company’s ability to serve as a source of strength to its banking subsidiaries. Various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that subsidiary banks can pay to their holding companies without regulatory approval. Without the prior approval of the OCC, a dividend may not be paid if the total of all dividends declared by a bank in any calendar year is in excess of the current year’s net income combined with the retained net income of the two preceding years. Additionally, a dividend may not be paid in excess of a bank’s retained earnings. Moreover, an insured depository institution may not pay a dividend if the payment would cause it to be less than “adequately capitalized” under the prompt corrective action framework as defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or if the institution is in default in the payment of an assessment due to the FDIC. Similarly, a banking organization that fails to satisfy regulatory minimum capital conservation buffer requirements will be subject to certain limitations, which include restrictions on capital distributions. In addition to these explicit limitations, federal and state regulatory agencies are authorized to prohibit a banking subsidiary or financial holding company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice. Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification of the Company and the Bank are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Moreover, capital requirements may be modified based upon regulatory rules or by regulatory discretion at any time reflecting a variety of factors including deterioration in asset quality.

Note 14. Legal

On June 12, 2019, the Bank was served with a qui tam lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County. The Delaware Department of Justice intervened in the litigation. The case is titled The State of Delaware, Plaintiff, Ex rel. Russell S. Rogers, Plaintiff-Relator, v. The Bancorp Bank, Interactive Communications International, Inc., and InComm Financial Services, Inc., Defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the Delaware False Claims Act by not paying balances on certain open-loop “Vanilla” prepaid cards to the State of Delaware as unclaimed property. The complaint seeks actual and treble damages, statutory penalties, and attorneys’ fees. The Bank has filed an answer denying the allegations and continues to vigorously defend against the claims. The Bank and other defendants previously filed a motion to dismiss the action, but the motion was denied and the case is in preliminary stages of discovery. At this time, the Company is unable to determine whether the ultimate resolution of the matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or operations.

On January 12, 2021, three former employees of the Bank filed separate complaints against the Company in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County. The Company subsequently removed all three lawsuits to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The cases are captioned: John Edward Barker, Plaintiff v. The Bancorp, Inc., Defendant; Alexander John Kamai, Plaintiff v. The Bancorp, Inc., Defendant; and John Patrick McGlynn III, Plaintiff v. The Bancorp, Inc., Defendant. The lawsuits arise from the Bank’s termination of the plaintiffs’ employment in connection with the restructuring of its CMBS business. The plaintiffs sought damages in the following amounts: $4,135,142 (Barker), $901,088 (Kamai) and $2,909,627 (McGlynn). On June 11, 2021, the Company filed a consolidated motion to dismiss in each case. On February 25, 2022, the court granted the Company’s motion in part, dismissing McGlynn’s claims in entirety and most of Barker and Kamai’s claims. The sole claims remaining are Barker and Kamai’s breach of implied contract claims related to an unpaid bonus, for which they seek $2,000,000 and $300,000, respectively. The Company is vigorously defending against these claims. On September 29, 2022, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment in both matters, which is still pending before the court. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions or operations.

On September 14, 2021, Cachet Financial Services (“Cachet”) filed an adversary proceeding against the Bank in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, titled Cachet Financial Services, Plaintiff v. The Bancorp Bank, et al., Defendants. The case was filed within the context of Cachet’s pending Chapter 11 bankruptcy case. The Bank previously served as the Originating Depository Financial Institution (“ODFI”) for automated clearing house (“ACH”) transactions in connection with Cachet’s payroll services business. The matter arises from the Bank’s termination of its Payroll Processing ODFI Agreement with Cachet on October 23, 2019, for safety and soundness reasons. The initial complaint alleges eight causes of action: (i) breach of contract; (ii) negligence; (iii) intentional interference with contract; (iv) conversion; (v) express indemnity; (vi) implied indemnity; (vii) accounting; and (viii) objection to the Bank’s proof of claim in the bankruptcy case. On November 4, 2021, the Bank filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Central District of California to withdraw the reference of the adversary proceeding to the bankruptcy court, which was denied in February 2023.  On August 3, 2022, Cachet served the Bank with a First Amended Complaint wherein Cachet, among other things, withdraws its implied indemnity claim against the Bank and adds several defendants unaffiliated with the Bank and causes of action related to those parties.  As to the Bank, Cachet seeks approximately $150 million in damages, an accounting and disallowance of the Bank’s proof of claim. The Bank is vigorously defending against these claims. On September 28, 2022, the Bank filed a partial motion to dismiss, seeking to dispose of the majority of Cachet’s claims against the Bank. The motion is still pending before the bankruptcy court. The Company is not yet able to determine whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial conditions or operations.

On March 27, 2023, the Bank received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) seeking documents and information related to the Bank’s escheatment practices in connection with certain accounts offered through one of the Bank’s program partners. The Bank continues to cooperate with the CFPB, including by responding to the CID. While the Company remains confident in the Bank’s escheatment practices, it cannot predict the timing or final outcome of the investigation.

38


Future costs related to this matter may be material and could continue to be material at least through the completion of the investigation.

In addition, we are a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of our business. Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations. 

Note 15. Segment Financials

The Company operates under three segments: specialty finance, payments and corporate. The chief operating decision maker for these segments is the Chief Executive Officer. Specialty finance includes the origination of non-SBA commercial real estate loans, SBA loans, direct lease financing, security-backed lines of credit, cash value insurance policy-backed lines of credit and deposits generated by those business lines. Payments include prepaid card accounts, card payments, ACH processing and deposits generated by those business lines. Corporate includes the Company’s investment portfolio, corporate overhead and non-allocated expenses. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company began allocating interest expense between segments and has adjusted prior period presentation to reflect such allocation. These operating segments reflect the way the Company views its current operations.

Overview

Nature of Operations

We are a Delaware financial holding company and our primary, wholly-owned subsidiary is The Bancorp Bank, National Association, or the Bank. The vast majority of our revenue and income is currently generated through the Bank. In our continuing operations, we have four primary lines of specialty lending:

SBLOC, IBLOC, and investment advisor financing;

leasing (direct lease financing);

SBLs, primarily SBA loans, and

non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans.

SBLOCs and IBLOCs are loans which are generated through affinity groups and are respectively collateralized by marketable securities and the cash value of insurance policies. SBLOCs are typically offered in conjunction with brokerage accounts and are offered nationally. IBLOC loans are typically viewed as an alternative to standard policy loans from insurance companies and are utilized by our existing advisor base as well as insurance agents throughout the country. Investment advisor financing are loans made to investment advisors for purposes of debt refinance, acquisition of another investment firm or internal succession. Vehicle fleet and, to a lesser extent, other equipment leases are generated in a number of Atlantic Coast and other states and are collateralized primarily by vehicles. SBA loans are generated nationally and are collateralized by commercial properties and other types of collateral. Our non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans, at fair value, are primarily collateralized by multi-family properties (apartment buildings), and to a lesser extent, by hotel and retail properties. These loans were originally generated for sale through securitizations. In 2020, we decided to retain these loans on our balance sheet as interest-earning assets and resumed originating such loans in the third quarter of 2021. These new originations are identified as real estate bridge loans, consist of apartment building loans, and are held for investment in the loan portfolio. Prior originations originally intended for securitizations continue to be accounted for at fair value, and are included on the balance sheet in “Commercial loans, at fair value.”

The majority of our deposit accounts and non-interest income are generated in our payments business line, or the Fintech Solutions Group, which consists of consumer deposit accounts accessed by prepaid or debit cards, issuing deposit accounts, ACH accounts, other payments such as rapid funds transfer and the collection of payments through credit card companies on behalf of merchants. The issuing deposit accounts are comprised of debit and prepaid card accounts that are generated by independent companies that market directly to end users. Our issuing deposit account types are diverse and include: consumer and business debit, general purpose reloadable prepaid, pre-tax medical spending benefit, payroll, gift, government, corporate incentive, reward, business payment accounts and others. Our ACH accounts facilitate bill payments, and our collection services for payments made to merchants consist of those which must be settled through associations such as Visa or MasterCard. We also provide banking services to organizations with a pre-existing customer base tailored to support or complement the services provided by these organizations to their customers, known as “affinity banking.” These services include loan and deposit accounts for investment advisory companies through our institutional banking department. We typically provide these services under the name and through the facilities of each organization with whom we develop a relationship.

Performance Summary

Our net income increased to $49.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, from $30.4 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily reflecting a $32.6 million increase in net interest income and a $1.4 million increase in non-interest income, partially offset by a $7.1 million increase in non-interest expense. Higher rates on loans, and to a lesser extent loan growth in certain categories, resulted in increases in net interest income, with higher rates also offsetting the impact of lower securities balances on securities interest. Our cost of funds rose to 2.37% in the second quarter of 2023, driven primarily by the adjustment of prepaid and debit card account deposits to Federal Reserve rate increases. See “Asset and Liability Management” in this MD&A for further discussion of how our funding sources and loans adjust to Federal Reserve rate changes.

Prepaid, debit card and other payment fees, including ACH, are the largest drivers of non-interest income. Such fees for the second quarter of 2023 increased $2.2 million over the comparable 2022 period.

41


Second quarter 2023 non-interest expense increased $7.1 million from the second quarter of 2022, reflecting an increase of $7.2 million in salaries and employee benefits. There was a $361,000 provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023, compared to a credit to the provision for credit losses of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Key Performance Indicators

We use a number of key performance indicators (“KPIs”) to measure our overall financial performance and believe they are useful to investors because they provide additional information about our underlying operational performance and trends. We describe how we calculate and use a number of these KPIs and analyze their results below.

Return on assets and return on equity. Two KPIs commonly used within the banking industry to measure overall financial performance are return on assets and return on equity. Return on assets measures the amount of earnings compared to the level of assets utilized to generate those earnings and is derived by dividing net income by average assets. Return on equity measures the amount of earnings compared to the equity utilized to generate those earnings and is derived by dividing net income by average shareholders’ equity.

Ratio of equity to assets. Ratio of equity to assets is another KPI frequently utilized within the banking industry and is derived by dividing period-end shareholders’ equity by period-end total assets.

Net interest margin and credit losses. Net interest margin is a KPI associated with net interest income, which is the largest component of our earnings and is the difference between the interest earned on our interest-earning assets consisting of loans and investments, less the interest on our funding, consisting primarily of deposits. Net interest margin is derived by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets. Higher levels of earnings and net interest income on lower levels of assets, equity and interest-earning assets are generally desirable. However, these indicators must be considered in light of regulatory capital requirements, which impact equity, and credit risk inherent in loans. Accordingly, the magnitude of credit losses is an additional KPI.

Other KPIs. Other KPIs we use from time to time include growth in average loans and leases, non-interest income growth, the level of non-interest expense and various capital measures.

Results of KPIs

In the second quarter 2023, return on assets and return on equity amounted to 2.65% and 26.67% (annualized), respectively, compared to 1.71% and 18.63% (annualized) in the second quarter of 2022. For the six month period ended June 30, 2023, return on assets and return on equity amounted to 2.64% and 27.42% (annualized), respectively, compared to 1.70% and 18.29% (annualized) for the six month period ended June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, the ratio of equity to assets was 9.93%, compared to 9.22% at June 30, 2022, reflecting an increase in equity capital from retained earnings, partially offset by share repurchases.

Net interest margin was 4.83% in the second quarter of 2023, versus 3.17% in the second quarter of 2022, and 4.75% versus 3.14%, respectively, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, reflecting a $32.6 million increase in net interest income in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, and a $65.6 million increase in net interest income in the six month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2022.

Increases in the above KPIs in 2023 reflected the impact of higher rates as a result of Federal Reserve rate increases, and to a lesser extent, loan growth. Average loans and leases grew to $5.73 billion in second quarter 2023 compared to $5.47 billion in second quarter 2022. The provision for credit losses was $361,000 in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a credit to the provision for credit losses of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. Our provision for credit losses was $2.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 compared to $3.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2022. Non-interest expense increased more than in prior periods, driven mostly by salary expense.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our accounting and reporting policies conform with GAAP and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We view critical accounting estimates as those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our critical accounting policies and estimates as of June 30, 2023 remain unchanged from those presented in the 2022 Form 10-K under Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

42


LIBOR Transition

We discontinued LIBOR-based originations in 2021; however, certain financial instruments outstanding were indexed to LIBOR, including non-SBA commercial loans, at fair value. All such loans were either paid off or modified to exclude reference to LIBOR as of June 30, 2023. When we resumed originating non-SBA commercial loans in the third quarter of 2021, which are identified separately under real estate bridge loans, we utilized the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as the index. In addition, we own collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and U.S. government agency adjustable-rate mortgages which originally utilized LIBOR based pricing. CLOs, which amounted to $324.7 million at June 30, 2023, generally have language regarding an index alternative should LIBOR no longer be available and are expected to replace the LIBOR index with SOFR plus an appropriate tenor adjustment. U.S. government agencies generally have the ability to adjust interest rate indices as necessary on impacted LIBOR based securities, which amounted to $60.0 million at June 30, 2023. The Company’s student loan securities of $7.1 million will calculate quarterly coupons indexed to 90-day average SOFR plus a tenor adjustment as specified in the controlling Fed Register notice (Section 253.4) and interest payments on its subordinated debentures payable of $13.4 million at June 30, 2023 will be calculated based upon a SOFR index plus the appropriate tenor adjustment of 26 basis points for Index Determination Dates subsequent to June 30, 2023. These debentures mature in March 2038, bear interest at SOFR plus 3.51% and are grandfathered to qualify as tier-1 capital at the Bank.  The Company’s sole derivative, the notional amount of which totaled $6.8 million at June 30, 2023, is an interest rate swap that is documented under a bilateral agreement which contains LIBOR fallback provisions by virtue of counterparty adherence to the 2020 International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.’s LIBOR Fallbacks Protocol. The Bank also owns $10.0 million of a Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debenture, with a market value of $8.3 million at June 30, 2023, issued by an insurance holding company in liquidation for which the rate index has historically been three-month LIBOR; however, future interest payments will be based on SOFR plus the appropriate tenor adjustment.

 

Results of Operations

Comparison of second quarter 2023 to second quarter 2022

Net Income

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $49.0 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, compared to $30.4 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Income before income taxes was $66.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $41.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. Income increased between those respective periods primarily as a result of higher net interest income, which was primarily driven by the impact of Federal Reserve rate increases on the loan and securities portfolios. Variable rate loans and securities comprise the majority of the Company’s earning assets, and while they reprice on a lagged basis, they adjust more fully than deposits to Federal Reserve rate changes.

Net Interest Income

Our net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 increased $32.6 million, or 59.8%, to $87.2 million from $54.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Our interest income for the second quarter of 2023 increased to $126.3 million, an increase of $64.7 million, or 105.0%, from $61.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from an increase in loan and securities yields resulting from the aforementioned Federal Reserve rate increases, and to a lesser extent, loan growth.

Our average loans and leases increased to $5.73 billion for the second quarter of 2023 from $5.47 billion for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $263.0 million, or 4.8%. Related interest income increased $52.2 million on a tax equivalent basis. The increase in average loans reflected growth in investment advisor loans, small business, direct lease financing, and real estate bridge loans. In the second quarter of 2023, net paydowns of SBLOC and IBLOC were experienced, which partially offset the impact of higher rates and loan growth in other categories. At June 30, 2023, the respective balances of SBLOC and IBLOC loans were $1.08 billion and $806.1 million, respectively, compared to $1.26 billion and $1.02 billion at June 30, 2022. Continuing decreases in these balances will result in lower interest income, to the extent they are not replaced by loan growth in other categories. Additionally, overall net interest income may be reduced from current levels should the Federal Reserve begin lowering interest rates. The balance of our commercial loans, at fair value also decreased as a result of non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loan repayments. In the third quarter of 2021, we resumed originating such loans, referred to as real estate bridge loans which are included in loans, net on the balance sheet and which are held at amortized cost.

Of the total $52.2 million increase in loan interest income on a tax equivalent basis, the largest increases were $17.4 million for SBLOC, IBLOC and investment advisor financing, $26.7 million for all real estate bridge loans, $3.0 million for leasing, and $4.7 million for SBA loans. Our average investment securities of $781.3 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $101.3 million from $882.7 million for the second quarter of 2022. Related tax equivalent interest income increased $4.5 million, primarily reflecting an increase in yields. Higher yields on loans and securities reflected the continuing impact of Federal Reserve rate increases as variable rate loans and securities repriced to higher rates. Federal Reserve rate changes had an immediate impact on cost of funds, while their impact on variable rate loans lags.

43


Generally, interest expense is contractually adjusted daily. The majority of our loans and securities are variable rate and generally reprice monthly or quarterly, although some reprice over several years.

Our net interest margin (calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets) for the second quarter of 2023 was 4.83% compared to 3.17% for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 166 basis points. While the yield on interest-earning assets increased 343 basis points, the cost of deposits and interest bearing liabilities increased 193 basis points, or a net change of 150 basis points. The more pronounced increase in the net interest margin compared to the net change reflected the impact of higher rates on assets funded by equity. Balances at the Federal Reserve generally earn lower rates of interest than loans and securities. Average interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank increased $156.0 million, or 28.6%, to $701.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 from $545.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. In the second quarter of 2023, the average yield on our loans increased to 7.49% from 4.03% for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 346 basis points.

Yields on taxable investment securities in the second quarter of 2023 increased to 5.08% compared to 2.47% for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 261 basis points.

(3)Full taxable equivalent basis, using 21% respective statutory federal tax rates in 2023 and 2022.

For the second quarter of 2023, average interest-earning assets increased to $7.22 billion, an increase of $317.7 million, or 4.6%, from $6.90 billion in the second quarter of 2022. The increase reflected increased average balances of loans and leases of $263.0 million, or 4.8%, partially offset by decreased average investment securities of $101.3 million, or 11.5%. For those respective periods, average demand and interest checking deposits increased $702.2 million, or 12.3%. A $478.6 million decrease in average savings and money market balances reflected the sweeping of deposits off our balance sheet to other institutions. Such sweeps are utilized to optimize diversity within our funding structure by managing the percentage of individual client deposits to total deposits. The interest expense shown for demand and interest checking is primarily comprised of interest paid to our affinity groups.

Provision for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses was $361,000 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a credit to the provision for credit losses of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2022. The ACL was $23.3 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $22.4 million, or 0.41% of total loans, at December 31, 2022. The higher ratio at June 30, 2023 reflected the impact of higher qualitative reserves, while total loans outstanding decreased. We believe that our ACL is adequate to cover expected losses. For more information about our provision and ACL and our loss experience, see “Financial Condition – Allowance for Credit Losses,” “– Net Charge-offs,” and “– Non-performing Loans, Loans 90 days Delinquent and Still Accruing, OREO and Troubled Debt Restructurings,” below and “Note 6. Loans” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $29.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $28.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The $1.4 million, or 4.9%, increase between those respective periods reflected a decrease in net realized and unrealized gains on commercial loans, at fair value to $1.9 million from $3.7 million. The $1.8 million change reflected a decrease in income recognized when such loans are repaid, as a result of fewer repayments. The $1.9 million was comprised of $2.5 million of non-SBA commercial real estate loan repayment related income, $720,000 of fair value losses and $94,000 of hedge fair value adjustments.

Prepaid, debit card and related fees increased $2.1 million, or 10.7%, to $22.2 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase reflected higher transaction volume reflecting the impact of new clients and organic growth from existing clients. ACH, card and other payment processing fees increased $91,000, or 3.9%, to $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, reflecting an increase in rapid funds transfer volume.

Leasing related income decreased $34,000, or 2.2%, to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 from $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2022.

Other non-interest income increased $948,000, or 270.9%, to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2023 from $350,000 in the second quarter of 2022 primarily reflecting increased prepayment fees on advisor financing loans.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $49.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $7.1 million, or 16.6%, compared to $42.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The majority of the increase resulted from higher salaries and employee benefits expense, which reflected higher numbers of staff in financial crimes, compliance and information technology (“IT”) due to increases in deposit transaction volume and the development of new products. The increase also reflected higher incentive and stock compensation expense and less expense deferral related to loan origination costs as a result of lower loan production.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in income, substantially all of which is subject to income tax. A 26.0% effective tax rate in 2023 and a 26.1% effective tax rate in 2022 primarily reflected a 21% federal tax rate and the impact of various state income taxes. 

Comparison of first six months 2023 to first six months 2022

Net Income

Net income for the first six months of 2023 was $98.1 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared to $59.4 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for the first six months of 2022. Income before income taxes was $131.1 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to $79.2 million in the first six months of 2022. Income increased between those respective periods primarily as a result of higher net interest income, which was primarily driven by the impact of Federal Reserve rate increases on the loan and securities portfolios. Variable rate loans and securities comprise the majority of the Company’s earning assets, and while they reprice on a lagged basis, they adjust more fully than deposits to Federal Reserve rate changes.

Net Interest Income

Our net interest income for the first six months of 2023 increased $65.6 million, or 61.1%, to $173.0 million, from $107.4 million in the first six months of 2022. Our interest income for the first six months of 2023 increased to $248.5 million, an increase of $131.0 million, or 111.5%, from $117.5 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from an increase in loan and securities yields resulting from Federal Reserve rate increases, and to a lesser extent, loan growth.

Our average loans and leases increased to $5.86 billion for the first six months of 2023 from $5.31 billion for the first six months of 2022, an increase of $554.9 million, or 10.5%. Related interest income increased $107.9 million on a tax equivalent basis. The increase in average loans reflected growth in investment advisor loans, small business, direct lease financing, and real estate bridge loans. In the first six months of 2023, net paydowns of SBLOC and IBLOC were experienced, which partially offset the impact of higher rates and loan growth in other categories. Continuing decreases in these balances will result in lower interest income, to the extent they are not replaced by loan growth in other categories. Additionally, overall net interest income may be reduced from current levels should the Federal Reserve begin lowering interest rates. The balance of our commercial loans, at fair value also decreased, as a result of non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loan repayments. In the third quarter of 2021, we resumed originating such loans, referred to as real estate bridge loans which are included in loans, net on the balance sheet and which are held at amortized cost.

Of the total $107.9 million increase in loan interest income on a tax equivalent basis, the largest increases were $40.0 million for SBLOC, IBLOC and investment advisor financing, $52.8 million for all real estate bridge loans, $5.9 million for leasing, and $8.4 million for SBA loans. Our average investment securities of $779.4 million for the first six months of 2023 decreased $133.2 million from $912.6 million for the first six months of 2022. Related tax equivalent interest income increased $8.9 million, primarily reflecting an increase in yields. Higher yields on loans and securities reflected the continuing impact of Federal Reserve rate increases as variable rate loans and securities repriced to higher rates. Federal Reserve rate changes had an immediate impact on cost of funds, while their impact on variable rate loans lags. Generally, interest expense is contractually adjusted daily. The majority of our loans and securities are variable rate and generally reprice monthly or quarterly, although some reprice over several years.

Our net interest margin (calculated by dividing net interest income by average interest-earning assets) for the first six months of 2023 was 4.75% compared to 3.14% for the first six months of 2022, an increase of 161 basis points. While the yield on interest-earning assets increased 339 basis points, the cost of deposits and interest bearing liabilities increased 194 basis points, or a net change of 145 basis points. The more pronounced increase in the net interest margin compared to the net change reflected the impact of higher rates on assets funded by equity. Balances at the Federal Reserve generally earn lower rates of interest than loans and securities. Average interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank increased $24.0 million, or 3.9%, to $640.9 million in the first six months of 2023 from $616.9 million in the first six months of 2022. In the first six months of 2023, the average yield on our loans increased to 7.29% from 3.98% for the first six months of 2022, an increase of 331 basis points.

Yields on taxable investment securities in the first six months of 2023 increased to 4.94% compared to 2.27% for the first six months of 2022, an increase of 267 basis points.

(3)Full taxable equivalent basis, using 21% respective statutory federal tax rates in 2023 and 2022.

For the first six months of 2023, average interest-earning assets increased to $7.28 billion, an increase of $445.7 million, or 6.5%, from $6.84 billion in the first six months of 2022. The increase reflected increased average balances of loans and leases of $554.9 million, or 10.5%, partially offset by decreased average investment securities of $133.2 million, or 14.6%. For those respective periods, average demand and interest checking deposits increased $765.3 million, or 13.6%. A $439.4 million decrease in average savings and money market balances reflected the sweeping of deposits off our balance sheet to other institutions. Such sweeps are utilized to optimize diversity within our funding structure by managing the percentage of individual client deposits to total deposits.

49


The interest expense shown for demand and interest checking is primarily comprised of interest paid to our affinity groups. Additionally in the first six months of 2023, average short-term borrowings increased $4.1 million and time deposits increased $41.9 million. The time deposits were short term and matured in the first quarter of 2023 and the borrowings mature on a daily basis.

Provision for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses was $2.3 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $3.5 million for the first six months of 2022.

The ACL was $23.3 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $22.4 million, or 0.41% of total loans, at December 31, 2022. The higher ratio at June 30, 2023 reflected an increase in the ACL resulting from the impact of higher qualitative reserves, while total loans outstanding decreased between those dates. We believe that our ACL is adequate to cover expected losses. For more information about our provision and ACL and our loss experience, see “Financial Condition – Allowance for Credit Losses,” “– Net Charge-offs,” and “– Non-performing Loans, Loans 90 days Delinquent and Still Accruing, OREO and Troubled Debt Restructurings,” below and “Note 6. Loans” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $58.3 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to $56.5 million in the first six months of 2022. The $1.8 million, or 3.2%, increase between those respective periods reflected a decrease in net realized and unrealized gains on commercial loans, at fair value to $3.6 million from $10.5 million. The $6.9 million change reflected a decrease in income recognized when such loans are repaid, as a result of fewer repayments as that portfolio continues to run off. The $3.6 million was comprised of $5.0 million of non-SBA commercial real estate loan repayment related income, $1.3 million of fair value losses and $14,000 of hedge fair value adjustments.

Prepaid, debit card and related fees increased $6.8 million, or 17.6%, to $45.5 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $38.7 million in the first six months of 2022. The first six months of 2023 included approximately $600,000 of non-interest income related to the fourth quarter of 2022, and a $1.4 million termination fee from a client which formed its own bank. The increase also reflected higher transaction volume reflecting the impact of new clients and organic growth from existing clients. Related fees in this category include income related to the use of cash in ATMs for payroll cardholders. ACH, card and other payment processing fees increased $278,000, or 6.4%, to $4.6 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $4.3 million in the first six months of 2022, reflecting an increase in rapid funds transfer volume.

Leasing related income increased $483,000, or 19.2%, to $3.0 million for the first six months of 2023 from $2.5 million for the first six months of 2022. The increase reflected higher volumes of vehicle sales.

Other non-interest income increased $1.1 million, or 235.7%, to $1.6 million for the first six months of 2023 from $470,000 in the first six months of 2022 primarily reflecting increased prepayment fees on advisor financing loans and SBL.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense was $98.0 million for the first six months of 2023, an increase of $16.8 million, or 20.7%, compared to $81.2 million for the first six months of 2022. The majority of the increase resulted from higher salaries and employee benefits expense, which reflected higher numbers of staff in financial crimes, compliance and IT due to increases in deposit transaction volume and the development of new products. The increase also reflected higher incentive and stock compensation expense and less expense deferral related to loan origination costs as a result of lower loan production.

FDIC insurance expense decreased $220,000, or 13.4%, to $1.4 million for the first six months of 2023 from $1.6 million in the first six months of 2022, primarily as a result of a lower assessment rate. The cost of resolving several recent bank failures may result in future increased premiums, or special assessments, which would serve to increase expense in the period assessed.

Software expense increased $525,000 or 6.5%, to $8.6 million in the first six months of 2023 from $8.0 million in the first six months of 2022. The increase reflected higher expenditures for information technology infrastructure including those to service the payments business.

Insurance expense increased $236,000 or 9.9%, to $2.6 million in the first six months of 2023 compared to $2.4 million in the first six months of 2022, reflecting higher rates, especially on cyber insurance.

The property had previously been recorded at appraised value, which was adjusted to the proposed sales price in the first six months of 2023.

Other non-interest expense increased $2.6 million, or 37.4%, to $9.5 million in the first six months of 2023 from $6.9 million in the first six months of 2022. The $2.6 million increase primarily reflected the following increases: a. regulatory examination assessment fees of $677,000, b.

51


OREO expense of $598,000 reflecting additional OREO properties and c. an increase of $229,000 in travel expenses, as travel increased post-pandemic.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $33.0 million for the first six months of 2023 compared to $19.9 million in the first six months of 2022. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in income, substantially all of which is subject to income tax. A 25.1% effective tax rate in 2023 and a 25.1% effective tax rate in 2022 primarily reflected a 21% federal tax rate and the impact of various state income taxes.

 

Liquidity

Liquidity defines our ability to generate funds to support asset growth, meet deposit withdrawals, satisfy borrowing needs and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. We invest the funds we do not need for daily operations primarily in overnight federal funds or in our interest-bearing account at the Federal Reserve.

Our primary source of funding has been deposits. Average total deposits increased by $223.6 million, or 3.6%, to $6.48 billion for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022. Federal Reserve average balances increased to $701.1 million in the second quarter 2023 from $545.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. Overnight borrowings are also periodically utilized as a funding source to facilitate cash management, but average balances have generally not been significant.

One source of contingent liquidity is available-for-sale securities, which amounted to $776.4 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $766.0 million at December 31, 2022. The majority of these securities can be pledged to facilitate extensions of credit in addition to loans already pledged against lines of credit, as discussed later in this section. Loan repayments, another source of funds, have historically been exceeded by disbursements associated with new loan originations, a use of funds. However, loan repayments during the second quarter of 2023 exceeded originations, and the excess of repayments over originations provided additional liquidity. As a result of such higher loan repayments, at June 30, 2023, outstanding loans amounted to $5.27 billion, compared to $5.49 billion at the prior year end, a decrease of $219.3 million. Commercial loans, at fair value, decreased to $396.6 million from $589.1 million between those respective dates, a decrease of $192.6 million, which also provided funding. In 2019 and previous years, these loans were generally originated for securitization and sale, but in 2020 we decided to retain such loans on the balance sheet. While we suspended originating such loans after the first quarter of 2020, we resumed originations, which consist primarily of non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans, in the third quarter of 2021. Such originations are held for investment and are included in “Loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs” on the balance sheet. Accordingly, commercial loans, at fair value will continue to run off. Our liquidity planning has not previously placed undue reliance on securitizations, and while our future planning excludes the impact of securitizations, other liquidity sources, primarily deposits, are determined to be adequate.

While we do not have a traditional branch system, we believe that our core deposits, which include our demand, interest checking, savings and money market accounts, have similar characteristics to those of a bank with a branch system. The majority of our deposit accounts are obtained with the assistance of third-parties and as a result have historically been classified as brokered by the FDIC. Prior to December 2020, FDIC guidance for classification of deposit accounts as brokered was relatively broad, and generally included accounts which were referred to or “placed” with the institution by other companies. If the Bank ceases to be categorized as “well capitalized” under banking regulations, it will be prohibited from accepting, renewing or rolling over any of its deposits classified as brokered without the consent of the FDIC. In such a case, the FDIC’s refusal to grant consent to our accepting, renewing or rolling over brokered deposits could effectively restrict or eliminate the ability of the Bank to operate its business lines as presently conducted. In December 2020, the FDIC issued a new regulation which, in the third quarter of 2021, resulted in the majority of our deposits being reclassified from brokered to non-brokered. As of June 30, 2023, an estimated $604.0 million of our total deposit accounts of $6.62 billion were not insured by FDIC insurance, which requires identification of the depositor and is limited to $250,000 per identified depositor. Uninsured accounts may represent a greater liquidity risk than FDIC-insured accounts should large depositors withdraw funds as a result of negative financial developments either at the Bank or in the economy. Significant amounts of our uninsured deposits are comprised of small balances, such as anonymous gift cards and corporate incentive cards for which there is no identified depositor. We do not believe that such uninsured accounts present a significant liquidity risk.

Certain components of our deposits experience seasonality, creating greater excess liquidity at certain times. The largest deposit inflows occur in the first quarter of the year when certain of our accounts are credited with tax refund payments from the U.S. Treasury.

While consumer deposit accounts, including prepaid and debit card accounts, comprise the vast majority of our funding needs, we maintain secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve. Our collateralized line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank had available accessible capacity of $2.06 billion as of June 30, 2023 and was collateralized by loans. We have also pledged in excess of $1.10 billion of multi-family loans to the FHLB. As a result, we have approximately $752.4 million of availability on that line of credit which we can also access at any time. As of June 30, 2023, there were no amounts outstanding on either of these lines of credit. We expect to continue to maintain our facilities with the FHLB and Federal Reserve.

52


Another source of contingent liquidity is available-for-sale securities, which amounted to $776.4 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $766.0 million at December 31, 2022. Approximately $350 million of our available-for-sale securities are U.S. government agency securities which are highly liquid and may be immediately pledged as additional collateral. We actively monitor our positions and contingent funding sources daily.

As a holding company conducting substantially all our business through our subsidiaries, the Company’s near-term need for liquidity consists principally of cash for required interest payments on our subordinated debentures, consisting of $13.4 million of debentures bearing interest at SOFR plus 3.51% and maturing in March 2038 (the “2038 Debentures”), and senior debt, consisting of $100.0 million senior notes with an interest rate of 4.75% and maturing in August 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Semi-annual interest payments on the 2025 Senior Notes are approximately $2.4 million, and quarterly interest payments on the 2038 Debentures are approximately $300,000. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash reserves of approximately $12.4 million at the holding company. During the second quarter of 2023, $25.0 million of common stock repurchases were funded by a dividend from the Bank, as are interest payments on the above debt instruments. Stock repurchases may be terminated at any time. The holding company’s sources of liquidity are primarily comprised of dividends paid by the Bank to the Company, and the issuance of debt.

Included in our cash and cash-equivalents at June 30, 2023 were $874.1 million of interest-earning deposits which primarily consisted of deposits with the Federal Reserve.

In 2023, purchases of $49.0 million of securities were partially offset by $39.9 million of redemptions. We had outstanding commitments to fund loans, including unused lines of credit, of $1.86 billion and $1.98 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The majority of our commitments are variable rate and originate with SBLOC. The recorded amount of such commitments has, for many accounts, been based on the full amount of collateral in a customer’s investment account. The funding requirements for such commitments occur on a measured basis over time and would be funded by normal deposit growth. Additionally, these loans are “demand” loans and as such, represent a contingent source of funding.

Capital Resources and Requirements

We must comply with capital adequacy guidelines issued by our regulators. A bank must, in general, have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10.0% and a ratio of common equity tier 1 to risk weighted assets of 6.5% to be considered “well capitalized.” The Tier I leverage ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets for the quarter. “Tier I capital” includes common shareholders’ equity, certain qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles. At June 30, 2023, both the Company and the Bank were “well capitalized” under banking regulations.

Asset and Liability Management

The management of rate sensitive assets and liabilities is essential to controlling interest rate risk and optimizing interest margins. An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate change in line with general market rates. Interest rate sensitivity measures the relative volatility of an institution’s interest margin resulting from changes in market interest rates. While it is difficult to predict the impact of inflation and responsive Federal Reserve rate changes on our net interest income, the Federal Reserve has historically utilized increases in the overnight federal funds rate as one tool in fighting inflation. As a result of high rates of inflation, the Federal Reserve raised rates in each quarter of 2022 and in the first two quarters of 2023. Our largest funding source, prepaid and debit card deposit accounts, contractually adjusts to only a portion of increases or decreases in rates which are largely determined by such Federal Reserve actions. That pricing has generally supported the maintenance of a balance sheet for which net interest income tends to increase with increases in rates. While deposits reprice to only a portion of Federal Reserve rate changes, such changes are immediate. Interest-earning assets, comprised primarily of loans and securities, tend to adjust more fully to rate increases at lagged contractual pricing intervals.

53


The majority of our loans and securities are variable rate and generally reprice monthly or quarterly, although some reprice over several years. Additionally, the impact of loan interest rate floors which must be exceeded before rates on certain loans increase, may result in decreases in net interest income with lesser increases in rates. Cumulative 2022 Federal Reserve interest rate increases resulted in contractual rates on loans generally exceeding rate floors in the second quarter of 2022.

We have adopted policies designed to manage net interest income and preserve capital over a broad range of interest rate movements. To effectively administer the policies and to monitor our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we maintain an asset/liability committee, consisting of the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Credit Officer and others. This committee meets quarterly to review our financial results, develop strategies to optimize margins and to respond to market conditions. The primary goal of our policies is to optimize margins and manage interest rate risk, subject to overall policy constraints for prudent management of interest rate risk.

We monitor, manage and control interest rate risk through a variety of techniques, including the use of traditional interest rate sensitivity analysis (also known as “gap analysis”) and an interest rate risk management model. With the interest rate risk management model, we project future net interest income and then estimate the effect of various changes in interest rates on that projected net interest income. We also use the interest rate risk management model to calculate the change in net portfolio value over a range of interest rate change scenarios. Traditional gap analysis involves arranging our interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities by repricing periods and then computing the difference (or “interest rate sensitivity gap”) between the assets and liabilities that we estimate will reprice during each time period and cumulatively through the end of each time period.

 

Both interest rate sensitivity modeling and gap analysis are done at a specific point in time and involve a variety of significant estimates and assumptions. Interest rate sensitivity modeling requires, among other things, estimates of how much and when yields and costs on individual categories of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities will respond to general changes in market rates, future cash flows and discount rates. Gap analysis requires estimates as to when individual categories of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities will reprice, and assumes that assets and liabilities assigned to the same repricing period will reprice at the same time and in the same amount. Gap analysis does not account for the fact that repricing of assets and liabilities is discretionary and subject to competitive and other pressures. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of falling interest rates, a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income while a negative gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely.

The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing structure of our interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at June 30, 2023. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets or liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of each asset or liability. The majority of transaction and savings balances are assumed to be “core” deposits, or deposits that will generally remain with us regardless of market interest rates. We estimate the repricing characteristics of these deposits based on historical performance, past experience, judgmental predictions and other deposit behavior assumptions. However, we may choose not to reprice liabilities proportionally to changes in market interest rates for competitive or other reasons. Additionally, although non-interest bearing transaction accounts are not paid interest, we estimate certain of the balances will reprice as a result of the contractual fees that are paid to the affinity groups which are based upon a rate index, and therefore are included in interest expense. We have adjusted the transaction account balances in the table downward, to better reflect the impact of their partial adjustment to changes in rates. Loans and security balances, which adjust more fully to market rate changes, are based upon actual balances. The table does not assume any prepayment of fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are scheduled based on their anticipated cash flow, including prepayments based on historical data and current market trends. The table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate movements on our net interest income because the repricing and related behavior of certain categories of assets and liabilities (for example, prepayments of loans and withdrawal of deposits) is beyond our control. As a result, certain assets and liabilities indicated as repricing within a stated period may in fact reprice at different times and at different rate levels. For instance, the majority of REBL loans are variable rate with floors, but prepayments may offset the benefit of such floors in decreasing rate environments.

(1)Transaction accounts are comprised primarily of demand deposits. While demand deposits are non-interest bearing, related fees paid to affinity groups may reprice according to specified indices.

The methods used to analyze interest rate sensitivity in this table have a number of limitations. Certain assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in interest rates even though they reprice or mature in the same or similar time periods. The interest rates on certain assets and liabilities may change at different times than market interest rates, with some changing in advance of changes in market rates and some lagging behind changes in market rates. Additionally, the actual prepayments and withdrawals we experience when interest rates change may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the data shown in the table. Accordingly, actual results can and often do differ from projections.

We believe that the assumptions utilized in evaluating our estimated net interest income are reasonable; however, the interest rate sensitivity of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on estimated net interest income, could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from presumed behavior of various deposit and loan categories. The following table shows the effects of interest rate shocks on our net portfolio value described as Market Value of Portfolio Equity (“MVPE”) and net interest income. Rate shocks assume that current interest rates change immediately and sustain parallel shifts. For interest rate increases or decreases of 100 and 200 basis points, our policy includes a guideline that our MVPE ratio should not decrease more than 10% and 15%, respectively, and that net interest income should not decrease more than 10% and 15%, respectively. As illustrated in the following table, we complied with our asset/liability policy guidelines at June 30, 2023. While our modeling suggests that rate increases of 100 and 200 basis points will have a positive impact on net interest income (as shown in the table below), the actual amount of such increase cannot be determined, and there can be no assurance any increase will be realized. Because the Company has emphasized variable rate instruments in its loan and investment portfolios, it tends to benefit from higher interest rate environments. As a result of the Federal Reserve rate increases in 2022 and 2023, net interest income has increased and exceeded prior period levels. Future Federal Reserve rate reductions may result in a return to lower net interest income levels.

Financial Condition

General. Our total assets at June 30, 2023 were $7.54 billion, of which our total loans were $5.27 billion, and our commercial loans, at fair value, were $396.6 million. At December 31, 2022, our total assets were $7.90 billion, of which our total loans were $5.49 billion, and our commercial loans, at fair value were $589.1 million. The decrease in assets reflected decreases both in SBLOC and IBLOC loan balances and in commercial loans, at fair value as that portfolio continues to run off, partially offset by increases in securities.

Interest-earning Deposits

At June 30, 2023, we had a total of $874.1 million of interest-earning deposits compared to $864.1 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $9.9 million. These deposits were comprised primarily of balances at the Federal Reserve.

Investment Portfolio

For detailed information on the composition and maturity distribution of our investment portfolio, see “Note 5. Investment Securities” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein. Total investment securities increased to $776.4 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $10.4 million, or 1.4%, from December 31, 2022.

Under the accounting guidance related to CECL, changes in fair value of securities unrelated to credit losses continue to be recognized through equity. However, credit-related losses are recognized through an allowance, rather than through a reduction in the amortized cost of the security. CECL accounting guidance also permits the reversal of allowances for credit deterioration in future periods based on improvements in credit, which was not included in previous guidance. Generally, a security’s credit-related loss is the difference between its amortized cost basis and the best estimate of its expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective yield. That difference is recognized through the income statement, as with prior guidance, but is renamed a provision for credit loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized no credit-related losses on our portfolio.

Investments in FHLB, ACBB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are recorded at cost and amounted to $20.2 million at June 30, 2023 and $12.6 million at December 31, 2022. Each of these institutions require their correspondent banking institutions to hold stock as a condition of membership. The Bank’s conversion to a national charter required the purchase of $11.0 million of Federal Reserve Bank stock in September 2022. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2023, we joined the FHLB of Des Moines, which required a $9.1 million purchase of stock. While a fixed stock amount is required by each of these institutions, the FHLB stock requirement increases or decreases with the level of borrowing activity.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 no investment securities were encumbered, as lines of credit established for borrowings were collateralized by loans.

The following table shows the contractual maturity distribution and the weighted average yield of our investment portfolio securities as of June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands). The weighted average yield was calculated by dividing the amount of individual securities to total securities in each category, multiplying by the yield of the individual security and adding the results of those individual computations.

Commercial Loans, at Fair Value

Commercial loans, at fair value are comprised of non-SBA commercial real estate loans and SBA loans which had been originated for sale or securitization through first quarter 2020, and which are now being held on the balance sheet. SBA loans are valued on a pooled basis and commercial real estate bridge loans are valued individually. Commercial loans, at fair value decreased to $396.6 million at June 30, 2023 from $589.1 million at December 31, 2022, primarily reflecting the impact of loan repayments as this portfolio runs off. These loans continue to be accounted for at fair value. In the third quarter of 2021 we resumed originating non-SBA commercial real estate loans, after suspending such originations in the first quarter of 2020. These originations reflect lending criteria similar to the existing loan portfolio and are primarily comprised of multi-family (apartment buildings) collateral.

56


The new originations, which are intended to be held for investment, are accounted for at amortized cost.

Loan Portfolio. Total loans decreased to $5.27 billion at June 30, 2023 from $5.49 billion at December 31, 2022.

(1)Includes the portion of SBA 7(a) Program loans and PPP loans which have been guaranteed by the U.S. government, and therefore are assumed to have no credit risk.

(2)Substantially all these loans are made under the 504 Program, which dictates origination date LTV percentages, generally 50-60%, to which the Bank adheres.

(3)Includes $7.7 million in 504 Program first mortgages with an origination date LTV of 50-60% and $3.9 million in SBA interim loans with an approved SBA post-construction full takeout/payoff.

(4)Includes the unguaranteed portion of 7(a) Program loans which are generally 70% or more guaranteed by the U.S. government. SBA 7(a) Program loans are not made on the basis of real estate LTV; however, they are subject to SBA's "All Available Collateral" rule which mandates that to the extent a borrower or its 20% or greater principals have available collateral (including personal residences), the collateral must be pledged to fully collateralize the loan, after applying SBA-determined liquidation rates. In addition, all 7(a) Program loans and 504 Program loans require the personal guaranty of all 20% or greater owners.

For SBLOC, we generally lend up to 50% of the value of equities and 80% for investment grade securities. While the value of equities has fallen in excess of 30% in recent years, the reduction in collateral value of brokerage accounts collateralizing SBLOCs generally has been less. This is because many collateral accounts are “balanced” and accordingly, have a component of debt securities, which have either not decreased in value as much as equities, or in some cases may have increased in value. Further, many of these accounts have the benefit of professional investment advisors who provided some protection against market downturns, through diversification and other means. Additionally, borrowers often utilize only a portion of collateral value, which lowers the percentage of principal to the market value of collateral.

IBLOC loans are backed by the cash value of life insurance policies which have been assigned to us. We generally lend up to 95% of such cash value. Our underwriting standards require approval of the insurance companies which carry the policies backing these loans. Currently, fifteen insurance companies have been approved and, as of June 30, 2023, all were rated A- or better by AM Best.

The following table presents loan categories by maturity for the period indicated. Actual repayments historically have, and will likely in the future, differ significantly from contractual maturities because individual borrowers generally have the right to prepay loans, with or without prepayment penalties. See “Asset and Liability Management” in this MD&A for a discussion of interest rate risk.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We review the adequacy of our ACL on at least a quarterly basis to determine a provision for credit losses to maintain our ACL at a level we believe is appropriate to recognize current expected credit losses. Our Chief Credit Officer oversees the loan review department, which measures the adequacy of the ACL independently of loan production officers. For detailed information on the ACL methodology, see “Note 6. Loans” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.

At June 30, 2023, the ACL amounted to $23.3 million, which represented a $910,000 increase compared to the $22.4 million ACL at December 31, 2022. The increase reflected migration to higher risk levels for qualitative factors which are considered in CECL methodology.

A description of loan review coverage targets is set forth below.

The following loan review percentages are performed over periods of eighteen to twenty-four months. At June 30, 2023, in excess of 50% of the total continuing loan portfolio was reviewed by the loan review department or, for SBLs, rated internally by that department. In addition to the review of all classified loans, the targeted coverages and scope of the reviews are risk-based and vary according to each portfolio as follows:

SBLOC – The targeted review threshold is 40%, including a sample focusing on the largest 25% of SBLOCs by commitment. A random sample of at least twenty loans will be reviewed each quarter. At June 30, 2023, approximately 45% of the SBLOC portfolio had been reviewed. 

IBLOC – The targeted review threshold is 40%, including a sample focusing on the largest 25% of IBLOCs by commitment. A random sample of at least twenty loans will be reviewed each quarter. At June 30, 2023, approximately 49% of the IBLOC portfolio had been reviewed.

62


Advisor Financing – The targeted review threshold is 50%. At June 30, 2023, approximately 98% of the advisor financing portfolio had been reviewed. The loan balance review threshold is $1.0 million.

SBLs – The targeted review threshold is 60%, to be rated and/or reviewed within 90 days of funding, excluding fully guaranteed loans purchased for CRA purposes, and fully guaranteed PPP loans. The loan balance review threshold is $1.5 million and additionally includes any classified loans. At June 30, 2023, approximately 72% of the non-government guaranteed SBL loan portfolio had been reviewed.

Direct Lease Financing – The targeted review threshold is 35%. At June 30, 2023, approximately 41% of the leasing portfolio had been reviewed. The loan balance review threshold is $1.5 million.

Commercial Real Estate Bridge Loans, at fair value and Commercial Real Estate Bridge Loans, at amortized cost (floating rate, excluding SBA, which are included in SBLs above) – The targeted review threshold is 60%. Floating rate loans will be reviewed initially within 90 days of funding and will be monitored on an ongoing basis as to payment status. Subsequent reviews will be performed for relationships over $10.0 million. At June 30, 2023, approximately 100% of the floating rate, non-SBA commercial real estate bridge loans outstanding for more than 90 days had been reviewed.

Commercial Real Estate Loans, at fair value (fixed rate, excluding SBA, which are included in SBLs above) – The targeted review threshold is 100%. At June 30, 2023, approximately 100% of the fixed rate, non-SBA commercial real estate loan portfolio had been reviewed.

Other minor loan categories are reviewed at the discretion of the loan review department.

Although we consider our ACL to be adequate based on information currently available, future additions to the ACL may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, our ongoing loss experience and that of our peers, changes in management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses, deterioration of specific credits and management’s intent with regard to the disposition of loans and leases.

The ratio of the ACL to total loans increased to 0.44% as of June 30, 2023 from 0.40% at June 30, 2022. The increase resulted from an increase in loans which was proportionately less than the increase in the ACL. The increase reflected migration to higher risk levels for qualitative factors which are considered in CECL methodology and higher reserves on specific distressed credits.

The ratio of the ACL to non-performing loans decreased to 159.59% at June 30, 2023, from 223.34% at June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of the increase in non-performing loans which proportionately exceeded the increase in the ACL. As a result of the increase in non-performing loans, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans also increased to 0.28% at June 30, 2023 from 0.18% at June 30, 2022.

The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased to 0.47% at June 30, 2023 from 0.39% at June 30, 2022, again reflecting the increase in non-performing loans as OREO also increased. The higher non-performing assets total at June 30, 2023 included OREO of $3.9 million for a movie theater property as described in Note E — Loans to the consolidated financial statements in the 2022 Form 10-K.

The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 0.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. While net charge-offs increased between those periods, increases in average loans partially offset the impact of such increases.

Net Charge-offs

Net charge-offs were $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $799,000 from net charge-offs of $917,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Charge-offs in both periods resulted primarily from non-real estate SBL and leasing charge-offs. SBL charge-offs resulted primarily from the non-government guaranteed portion of SBA loans.

The following tables reflect the relationship of year-to-date average loans outstanding, based upon quarter end balances, and net charge-offs by loan category (dollars in thousands):

We review charge-offs at least quarterly in loan surveillance meetings which include the chief credit officer, the loan review department and other senior credit officers in a process which includes identifying any trends or other factors impacting portfolio management. In recent periods charge-offs have been primarily comprised of the non-guaranteed portion of SBA 7a loans and leases. The charge-offs have resulted from individual borrower or business circumstances as opposed to overall trends or other factors.

Non-accrual Loans, Loans 90 Days Delinquent and Still Accruing, OREO, Modified Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings.

Loans are considered to be non-performing if they are on a non-accrual basis or they are past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. A loan which is past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest remains on accrual status only when it is both adequately secured as to principal and interest, and is in the process of collection. We had $21.0 million of OREO at June 30, 2023 and $21.2 million of OREO at December 31, 2022. The following tables summarize our non-performing loans, OREO, and loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest.

Effective January 1, 2023 loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are required to be disclosed by type of modification and by type of loan. Prior accounting guidance classified loans which were modified as troubled debt restructurings only if the modification reflected a concession from the lender in the form of a below market interest rate or other concession in addition to borrower financial difficulty. Under the new guidance, loans with modifications will be reported whether a concession is made or not. Loans previously classified as troubled debt restructurings will continue to be reported in “Note 6. Loans“ to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein. Modifications made after January 1, 2023 will be reported under the new loan modification guidance. As of June 30, 2023, there was one modified loan reportable under the new guidance, with a balance of $180,000, which had a $2,200 reduction in monthly payment for 6 months.

We had no commitments to extend additional credit to loans classified as either modified or troubled debt restructurings as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

We had $14.0 million of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2023, compared to $10.4 million of non-accrual loans at December 31, 2022. The $3.6 million increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to $8.6 million of loans placed on non-accrual status, partially offset by $3.0 million transferred to repossessed vehicle inventory, $1.2 million of charge-offs, and $679,000 of payments. Loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest amounted to $563,000  at June 30, 2023 and $7.8 million at December 31, 2022. The $7.2 million decrease reflected $1.6 million of additions partially offset by $4.2 million of loan payments, $3.6 million transferred to non-accrual loans $737,000 transferred to OREO, and $207,000 of charge-offs.

We had $21.0 million of OREO at June 30, 2023 and $21.2 million of OREO at December 31, 2022. The change in balance reflected $737,000 transferred from loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest, and $1.0 million of charge-offs. The balance at both dates included $15 million for a Florida mall property, for which a developer, who is working to develop the property, has made a deposit. The property was reappraised in May 2023 and the appraised value continues to exceed the $15 million carrying value.

We evaluate loans under an internal loan risk rating system as a means of identifying problem loans. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, classified loans were segregated by year of origination and are shown in “Note 6. Loans” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.

66


Premises and Equipment, Net

Premises and equipment amounted to $26.4 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $18.4 million at December 31, 2022. The increase reflected the acquisition of equipment for a new data center and the buildout of the newly leased space for the relocation of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

Other assets

Other assets amounted to $122.4 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $89.2 million at December 31, 2022. The higher balance reflected a $14.8 million loan payoff, made prior to quarter end, for which the funds were received from the loan servicer after quarter-end.

Deposits

Our primary source of funding is deposit acquisition. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms, including demand, checking and money market accounts. The majority of our deposits are generated through prepaid and debit card and other payments related deposit accounts. One of our strategic focuses is growing these accounts through affinity groups. At June 30, 2023, we had total deposits of $6.62 billion compared to $7.03 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $407.1 million, or 5.8%. The change reflected a $330.0 million decrease in short-term time deposits which matured in the first quarter of 2023.

Short-term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings consist of amounts borrowed on our lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank or FHLB. There were no borrowings on either line at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. We generally utilize overnight borrowings to manage our daily reserve requirements at the Federal Reserve. Period-end and year-to-date information for the dates shown is as follows.

Senior Debt

On August 13, 2020, we issued $100.0 million of the 2025 Senior Notes, with a maturity date of August 15, 2025, and a 4.75% interest rate, with interest paid semi-annually on March 15 and September 15. The 2025 Senior Notes are the Company’s direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equal in priority with all our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In lieu of repayment of debt from dividends paid by the Bank to the Company, industry practice includes the issuance of new debt to repay maturing debt.

Borrowings

At June 30, 2023, we had other long-term borrowings of $9.9 million compared to $10.0 million at December 31, 2022. The borrowings consisted of sold loans which were accounted for as a secured borrowing because they did not qualify for true sale accounting. We do not have any policy prohibiting us from incurring debt.

67


The 2038 Debentures, which total $13.4 million, mature in March 2038 and bear interest at SOFR plus 3.51%, are grandfathered to qualify as tier 1 capital at the Bank.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities amounted to $51.6 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $56.3 million at December 31, 2022.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our interests.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Information about market risk for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 is included under “Asset and Liability Management” in Part I, Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except for such information, there has been no material change to our assessment of our sensitivity to market risk as discussed in the 2022 Form 10-K.

As noted under “Asset and Liability Management,” the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed through the use of guidelines which limit interest rate exposure to higher interest rates. Because the Company has emphasized variable rate instruments in its loan and investment portfolios, it tends to benefit from higher interest rate environments. As a result of the Federal Reserve rate increases in 2022 and 2023, net interest income has increased and exceeded prior period levels. Future Federal Reserve rate reductions may result in a return to lower net interest income levels. In addition to the aforementioned guidelines which the Company uses to manage interest rate risk, the Company utilizes an asset liability committee to provide oversight by multiple departments and senior officers.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable level of assurance as of June 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of our material pending legal proceedings, see “Note 14. Legal” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in the 2022 Form 10-K and additionally by the following risk factor.

Recent developments in the banking industry related to specific problem banks could have a negative impact on the industry as a whole and may negatively impact stock prices and result in additional regulations that could increase our expenses and otherwise affect our operations.

Recent high-profile bank failures have generated market volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies, unrelated to the Company, and industry commentary through social media and other outlets has negatively impacted confidence in depository institutions and created uncertainty with respect to the health of the U.S. banking system. If such levels of financial market volatility continue, or if rumored or actual events occur which further erode the actual or perceived stability of the banking system and financial markets, this could trigger additional regulatory scrutiny, increased FDIC insurance premiums or assessments, and new or amended regulations which may adversely affect the Company. While the underlying causes of these recent market events are not apparent within the Company or the Bank, these recent events and regulatory agency responses, including increased FDIC insurance premiums or assessments, could have a material impact on our business.
