Net interest income

  • Net interest income totaled $166.4 million, an increase of $2.5 million, or 1.6 percent, from linked-quarter levels, impacted by a $317.8 million, or 2.6 percent, increase in average loans, a $303.6 million, or 3.8 percent, increase in average securities and one additional day in the second quarter.
  • Net interest margin for the second quarter was 3.19 percent, down one basis point from the linked quarter, in large part due to lower short-term interest rates. Earning asset yields improved one basis point from the linked quarter in part driven by improved yields in the securities portfolio. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased five basis points to 1.39 percent, driven by an increase of $174.2 million in federal funds and repurchase agreements, and a four-basis-point increase in cost of interest-bearing deposits.
  • On a year-over-year basis, the increase in net interest income was driven by a 10.3 percent, or $1.2 billion, increase in average loans, as well as higher average loan yields, which increased 40 basis points compared to 2018, primarily driven by higher short-term interest rates, volume and asset mix changes.
  • For the second quarter 2019, average earning assets stood at $21.7 billion, an increase of 12.9 percent over the second quarter 2018.

Noninterest income

  • Second quarter 2019 noninterest income decreased $2.0 million, or 1.8 percent, on a linked-quarter basis, largely due to:

    • A decrease of $2.2 million in gains on sales of available-for-sale securities. This decrease includes losses of $1.4 million realized in the second quarter of 2019.
    • A decrease of $0.6 million in bankcard fees primarily driven by an increase of $1.7 million in rebates expense recorded as contra-revenue, offset by an increase of $0.8 million in interchange income.
    • A decrease in company-owned life insurance of $3.4 million, recorded in other income, which is offset by a proportionate decrease in deferred compensation expense noted below.
    • These decreases were partially offset by increases of $1.1 million in equity earnings on alternative investments, recorded in other income, and $0.7 million in corporate trust income, recorded in trust and securities processing.
  • Compared to the prior year, noninterest income in the second quarter of 2019 increased $5.1 million, or 5.1 percent, primarily driven by:

    • Increases of $1.4 million in derivative income, $1.2 million in equity earnings on alternative investments, and $0.8 million in company-owned life insurance, all of which are recorded in other income. The increase in company-owned life insurance is offset by a proportionate increase in deferred compensation expense noted below.
    • A $0.8 million increase in trading and investment banking income due to increased trading volume.

  • GAAP noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2019 was $193.4 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 1.4 percent, from the linked quarter and an increase of $16.2 million, or 9.1 percent, from the second quarter of 2018.
  • On a non-GAAP basis, operating noninterest expense (as reconciled later in this release) was $193.0 million for the second quarter 2019, an increase of $3.0 million, or 1.6 percent, compared to the linked quarter and an increase of $16.6 million, or 9.4 percent, compared to the second quarter 2018.
  • The linked quarter increase in noninterest expense was driven by:

    • An increase of $2.4 million in marketing and development expense and an increase of $1.9 million in legal and consulting expense, due to the timing of multiple technology and product initiatives.
    • These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in salaries and employee benefits, largely driven by lower payroll taxes and deferred compensation expense, partially offset by increased employee salaries and bonus and commission expense, as compared to the first quarter of 2019.
  • The year-over-year increase in noninterest expense was driven by:

    • A $10.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, largely due to increases of $4.2 million in bonus and commission expense, $4.0 million in salaries and wages expense, and $0.9 million in deferred compensation expense, which is offset by the increase in company-owned life insurance noted above.
    • An increase of $1.6 million in derivative expense, recorded in other noninterest expense.
    • A $1.6 million increase in processing fees expense due to investments in digital channel and integrated platform solutions to support business growth and the ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems.
    • An increase of $1.1 million in marketing and development expense and an increase of $1.0 million in legal and consulting expense, due to the timing of multiple technology and product initiatives.

Income taxes

  • The company’s effective tax rate was 15.5 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 15.6 percent for the same period in 2018.

Balance sheet

  • Average total assets for the second quarter 2019 were $23.3 billion compared to $22.9 billion for the linked quarter and $20.6 billion for the same period in 2018.

  • Nonperforming loans, defined as restructured loans on nonaccrual and all other nonaccrual loans, decreased $9.9 million from the linked quarter and decreased $2.6 million from the second quarter of 2018.
  • Net charge-offs were $12.6 million, or 0.40 percent, of average loans, compared to $12.3 million, or 0.41 percent, of average loans in the linked quarter, and $9.0 million, or 0.32 percent, of average loans in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Provision for loan losses decreased $1.4 million from the linked quarter, and increased $4.0 million from the second quarter of 2018, consistent with the company’s methodology, which considers the inherent risk in the loan portfolio, as well as other qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, loan growth, loan impairment changes, loan risk grading changes and net charge-off levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we provide information about net operating income from continuing operations (net operating income), operating earnings per share from continuing operations – diluted (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA), operating noninterest expense, and operating efficiency ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. The differences between the non-GAAP financial measures – net operating income, operating EPS, operating ROE, operating ROA, operating noninterest expense, and operating efficiency ratio – and the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled later in this release. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations may be useful to investors because they adjust for acquisition-, divestiture-, and severance-related items that management does not believe reflect the company’s fundamental operating performance.

Net operating income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding expenses related to acquisitions and divestitures, severance expense, and the cumulative tax impact of these adjustments.

Operating EPS (diluted) is calculated as earnings per share as reported, adjusted to reflect, on a per share basis, the impact of excluding the non-GAAP adjustments described above for the relevant period. Operating ROE is calculated as net operating income from continuing operations, divided by the company’s average total shareholders’ equity for the relevant period. Operating ROA is calculated as net operating income from continuing operations, divided by the company’s average assets for the relevant period. Operating noninterest expense for the relevant period is defined as GAAP noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the pre-tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments described above. Operating efficiency ratio is calculated as the company’s operating noninterest expense, net of amortization of other intangibles, divided by the company’s total non-GAAP revenue (calculated as net interest income plus noninterest income, less gains on sales of securities available for sale, net).
