Forward guidance
The CEO expressed satisfaction with the second quarter results, highlighting loan growth and commitment to operating leverage despite net interest margin compression. The company aims to continue controlling expenses while investing in future growth, including entering the equipment finance business.
Tailwinds
- Loan growth accelerated in multiple categories.
- Year-to-date annualized loan growth is within the mid-single-digit long-term target.
- Commitment to achieving positive operating leverage.
- Continued track record of controlling expenses.
- Entry into the equipment finance business to diversify earnings.
Headwinds
- Revenue headwinds from net interest margin compression.
- Decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in fees and interest on PPP loans
- The provision for credit losses was $5.4 million, an increase of $9.8 million compared to the previous quarter when the provision for credit losses was ($4.4) million
- The $1.2 million decrease from the previous quarter was primarily due to a $2.0 million decrease in gain on sale of mortgage loans due to an increase in new mortgage originations being retained in the Bank's loan portfolio and a $1.7 million decrease in the derivative mark-to-market adjustment on interest rate swaps as a result of changes in fair value due to movement in bond spreads, swap rates and counterparty credit risk, which negatively impacted noninterest income.
- Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by a $3.6 million charge-off related to an individual commercial borrower.
