Forward guidance

Management expects year-end loans to total approximately $20.4 billion, or a 3% increase year-over-year. Management expects continued NIM compression in the fourth quarter of 2021 with net interest income down slightly linked-quarter. Capital is strong and we 1 expect to achieve an 8% TCE, or better, by year-end 2021. We view third quarter of 2021 and near term guidance as continued momentum toward 2022 and our path to a 55% efficiency ratio.

Tailwinds

  • Core loan growth momentum continued
  • DDA deposits increased during the quarter
  • Net interest income was steady in the quarter
  • Operating expense was steady in the quarter
  • Asset quality metrics continue to improve

Headwinds

  • Impacts of Hurricane Ida
  • Impacts of the COVID-19 Delta surge
  • Slight compression in the NIM
  • Fees were lower linked-quarter, mainly the result of secondary mortgage volume reductions
  • Fees were lower linked-quarter as well as the result of waivers and activity related to Hurricane Ida disruption
