Completes sale of insurance agency for $36
million gain
Strengthens capital, liquidity and interest
rate asset sensitivity
Second Quarter 2023
Highlights
- Completed sale of insurance agency at a significant gain that
strengthens capital without diluting future earnings
- Executed hedges to improve asset-sensitivity and provide
protection against additional rate increases
- CET1 ratio increased 80 basis points to 10.81% and tangible
equity ratio increased 52 basis points to 7.55% from the prior
quarter
- Loan growth of $132.7 million (up 8.1% annualized), including
$75.2 million for commercial loans excluding PPP (up 7.0%
annualized)
- Declared dividend of $0.31 per share, up 3.3% from prior year
comparable period
Premier Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: PFC) (“Premier” or the
“Company”) announced today 2023 second quarter results, including
net income of $48.4 million or $1.35 per diluted common share,
compared to $22.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted common share, for
the second quarter of 2022. Second quarter 2023 results include the
impact of the disposition of the Company’s insurance agency, First
Insurance Group (“FIG”), for a net gain on sale after transaction
costs of $32.6 million pre-tax or $0.67 per diluted share
after-tax. Excluding the impact of this transaction, second quarter
2023 earnings would be $0.68 per diluted share.
“Premier’s second quarter performance reflected the expected
increase in quarterly core earnings to $0.68 per share,” said Gary
Small, President and CEO of Premier. “The improvement was driven by
multiple factors. Strong loan growth resulting from selective new
business loan origination, coupled with a strong funding pace of
prior year construction commitments. C&I commitments totaled
49% of second quarter commercial loan origination activity. Total
deposits grew $220 million, or 3.3%, for the quarter. Customer
deposit balance movement stabilized, down just $38 million, or
0.6%.”
“Core non-interest income revenue grew 9.4% versus second
quarter 2022, and core expenses fell 4.6% versus first quarter 2023
reflecting the progress made associated with the cost reduction
initiative announced last quarter. Margin continued to decline but
at a more moderate pace. Hedging activity was initiated in June
that will both add to near term net interest income and protect the
organization against the unfavorable impacts of future Fed Fund
rate increases. Our consumer customers continue to exhibit active
spending habits and credit portfolio indicators remain very
favorable. The commercial loan portfolio continues to perform well
with no unfavorable trends or early indicators of stress,” added
Small.
“The sale of the insurance agency delivered positive outcomes
for all stakeholders,” Small continued. “The combination of FIG and
Risk Strategies brings new opportunities for the FIG team; our
joint bank/agency clients will benefit from a broader product
offering and expanded agency capabilities; and the Premier
shareholders benefit from a tremendous capital boost with the
transaction increasing tangible book value by $1.37 per share. As
we look forward, the organization is focused on moderate balance
sheet growth, continued non-interest revenue improvement (adjusting
for FIG), and strong expense management. Deposit mix will continue
to be a challenge although our beta management techniques continue
to evolve.”
Insurance agency sale
As previously announced, on June 30, 2023 the Company completed
the sale of FIG to Risk Strategies Corporation. The disposition
generated a gain on sale of $36.3 million before transaction costs
of $3.7 million. The transaction strengthened capital by increasing
equity $24.2 million (24 basis points and $0.68 per share) and
tangible equity by $48.8 million (54 basis points and $1.37 per
share), which included the recovery of goodwill and intangibles of
$24.7 million at June 30, 2023. Utilization of sale proceeds will
improve net interest income that effectively offsets pre-tax
earnings previously generated from the insurance agency assuming
paydown of borrowings and will become accretive to earnings upon
deployment into higher yielding loans.
Addressing interest rate sensitivity
During June 2023, the Company completed a series of balance
sheet hedges to improve asset-sensitivity and provide protection
against additional rate increases. In total, the Company executed
$500 million notional of pay-fixed/receive-variable interest rate
swaps with half 2-year and half 3-year in duration. The average pay
rate for these swaps is approximately 4.12%. Based on rates as of
June 30, 2023, these swaps are expected to generate approximately
$4.7 million of annualized pre-tax net interest income. The full
quarter benefit of these swaps will begin to be realized in the
third quarter, and the positive impact will increase as SOFR
increases. Each 25 basis point increase in SOFR is expected to
generate an additional $625 thousand of annualized pre-tax net
interest income, including the impact of the new swaps and the
prior $250 million notional receive-fixed/pay-variable swap.
Quarterly results
Capital, deposits and liquidity
Capital improved significantly during the second quarter of
2023. Total equity increased $22.5 million, or 2.5%, including the
positive impact of the insurance agency sale offset by a $15.0
million detriment in accumulated other comprehensive income
(“AOCI”), primarily due to a negative valuation adjustment on the
available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities portfolio. Tangible equity
increased $48.4 million, or 8.4%, and the tangible equity ratio
increased 52 basis points to 7.55%, or 9.58% excluding AOCI.
Regulatory ratios also improved during the second quarter of 2023,
including CET1 of 10.81%, Tier 1 of 11.28% and Total Capital of
13.05%, each up 80 basis points. All of these ratios also exceed
well-capitalized guidelines pro forma for AOCI, including CET1 of
8.53%, Tier 1 of 9.00% and Total Capital of 10.77%.
Total deposits increased 3.3%, or $220.4 million, during the
second quarter of 2023, due to a $258.4 million increase in
brokered deposits offset partly by a net decrease of $38.0 million
in customer deposits. Total average interest-bearing deposit costs
increased 38 basis points to 2.07% for the second quarter of 2023.
This increase was primarily due to brokered deposits and the
migration of customers from non-interest bearing deposits into
interest-bearing deposits, including higher cost time deposits, as
customers sought to obtain yield. Average interest-bearing deposit
costs excluding brokered deposits and acquisition marks were 2.08%
during the month of June, representing a cumulative beta of 37%
compared to the change in the monthly average effective Federal
Funds rate that increased 500 basis points to 5.08% since December
2021, as reported by the Federal Reserve Economic Data.
Uninsured deposits at June 30, 2023 were 31.5% of total
deposits, or 17.3% adjusting for collateralized deposits, other
insured deposits and internal company accounts. The Company
successfully established eligibility for the Federal Reserve
Borrower-In-Custody Collateral Program, which increased borrowing
capacity by more than $300 million during the second quarter. Total
quantifiable liquidity sources totaled $2.8 billion, or 230.5% of
adjusted uninsured deposits, and were comprised of the following at
June 30, 2023:
- $121.7 million of cash and cash equivalents with a 5.15%
Federal Reserve rate;
- $298.5 million of unpledged securities with an average yield of
3.02%;
- $1.5 billion of FHLB borrowing capacity with an overnight
borrowing rate of 5.17%;
- $288.7 million of brokered deposits based on a Company policy
limit of 10% of deposits, with market pricing dependent on brokers
and duration;
- $70.0 million of unused lines of credit with an average
borrowing rate of 6.08%; and
- $491.1 million of borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve
with an average rate of 5.31%.
Additional liquidity sources include deposit growth, cash
earnings in excess of dividends, loan
repayments/participations/sales, and securities cash flows, which
are estimated to be $64.7 million over the next 12 months.
Net interest income and margin
Net interest income of $54.1 million on a tax equivalent (“TE”)
basis in the second quarter of 2023 was down 4.1% from $56.4
million in the first quarter of 2023 and 8.9% from $59.3 million in
the second quarter of 2022. The TE net interest margin of 2.72% in
the second quarter of 2023 decreased 18 basis points from 2.90% in
the first quarter of 2023 and 64 basis points from 3.36% in the
second quarter of 2022. Results for all periods include the impact
of PPP as well as acquisition marks and related accretion. Second
quarter 2023 includes $168 thousand of accretion in interest
income, $212 thousand of accretion in interest expense, and $5
thousand of interest income on average balances of $673 thousand
for PPP.
Excluding the impact of acquisition marks accretion and PPP
loans, core net interest income was $53.7 million, down 4.2% from
$56.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and 8.2% from $58.5
million in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, the core net
interest margin was 2.70% for the second quarter of 2023, down 18
basis points from 2.88% for the first quarter of 2023 and 62 basis
points from 3.32% for the second quarter of 2022. These results are
positively impacted by the combination of loan growth and higher
loan yields, which were 4.86% for the second quarter of 2023
compared to 4.66% in the first quarter of 2023 and 3.99% in the
second quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of PPP, balance sheet
hedges and acquisition marks accretion, loan yields were 5.01% in
June 2023 for an increase of 129 basis points since December 2021,
which represents a cumulative beta of 25% compared to the change in
the monthly average effective Federal Funds rate for the same
period.
The cost of funds in the second quarter of 2023 was 1.92%, up 41
basis points from the first quarter of 2023 and up 168 basis points
from the second quarter of 2022. The year-over-year increase is
largely due to utilization of higher cost FHLB borrowings in
support of loan growth in excess of deposit growth during 2022. The
linked quarter increase is due to higher rates on FHLB borrowings
and higher average deposit costs discussed above. Excluding the
impact of balance sheet hedges and acquisition marks accretion,
cost of funds were 2.05% in June 2023 for an increase of 184 basis
points since December 2021, which represents a cumulative beta of
37% compared to the change in the monthly average effective Federal
Funds rate for the same period.
“The second quarter 2023 individual monthly margin results were
much more stable than those experienced in fourth quarter 2022 and
first quarter 2023, which were in constant decline,” said Small.
“This reflects less ‘early mover’ activity affecting our deposit
book combined with less active Fed Fund rate movement during the
quarter. While we expect to continue to see deposit mix movement in
the book, the second quarter represents a trend in the right
direction.”
Non-interest income
Excluding the $36.3 million gain on the sale of the insurance
agency, total non-interest income in the second quarter of 2023 of
$17.1 million was up 36.8% from $12.5 million in the first quarter
of 2023 and 18.7% from $14.4 million in the second quarter of 2022,
primarily due to fluctuations in mortgage banking and gains/losses
on securities. Mortgage banking income increased $3.2 million on a
linked quarter basis and $1.0 million year-over-year as a result of
increased gains primarily from increases in hedge valuations. While
mortgage pipeline hedges effectively net out over the life of the
loans, individual periods can be volatile as market rates and
prices change.
Security gains were $64 thousand in the second quarter of 2023,
primarily due to increased valuations on equity securities. This
compares to a loss of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2023 and
to $1.2 million of losses each from decreased valuations on equity
securities. The company also sold $5 million of AFS securities for
a $7 thousand loss with average yields less than FHLB borrowing
rates during the second quarter of 2023. Service fees in the second
quarter of 2023 were $7.2 million, an 11.9% increase from $6.4
million in the first quarter of 2023 and a 7.7% increase from $6.7
million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to
fluctuations in loan fees including commercial customer swap
activity. Insurance commissions were $4.1 million in the second
quarter of 2023 down from $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2023
and $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 with the linked
quarter decrease primarily due to $0.9 million of contingent
commissions that only occur in the first quarter. Wealth management
income of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2023 was consistent
with $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2023 and up from $1.4
million in the second quarter of 2022. BOLI income of $1.0 million
in the second quarter of 2023 decreased from $1.4 million in the
first quarter of 2023 and was flat from $1.0 million in the second
quarter of 2022, with $0.4 million of claim gains in the first
quarter of 2023 compared to none in the second quarter periods.
“Consumer deposit related fees and wealth management income for
the current quarter exceed second quarter 2022 results by 7.7% and
8.7%, respectively,” said Small “As previously mentioned, our
consumer client activity remains robust and the current equity and
fixed income markets bode well for the asset management function
over the remainder of the year.”
Non-interest expenses
Excluding transaction costs for the insurance agency sale,
non-interest expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $40.8
million, a 4.6% decrease from $42.8 million in the first quarter of
2023 but a 4.5% increase from $39.1 million in the second quarter
of 2022. Compensation and benefits were $24.2 million in the second
quarter of 2023, compared to $25.7 million in the first quarter of
2023 and $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. The linked
quarter decrease was primarily due to cost saving initiatives that
began during the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year
increase was primarily due to costs related to higher staffing
levels for our 2022 growth initiatives and higher base
compensation, including 2022 mid-year adjustments and 2023 annual
adjustments. Other expenses decreased $0.5 million on a linked
quarter basis due to cost saving initiatives, and all other
non-interest expenses increased a net $83 thousand on a linked
quarter basis. FDIC premiums increased $1.0 million on a
year-over-year basis due to higher rates and our 2022 growth
initiatives and all other non-interest expenses decreased a net
$1.1 million on a year-over-year basis due to cost saving
initiatives. The efficiency ratio (excluding transaction costs and
the FIG gain on sale) for the second quarter of 2023 of 57.5%
improved from 60.9% in the first quarter of 2023 due to cost saving
initiatives but worsened from 52.2% in the second quarter of 2022
due to lower revenues.
“Executing on our cost saving initiatives helped drive an almost
5% decrease in expenses excluding transaction costs and a 3.4%
improvement to our core efficiency ratio from the prior quarter,”
said Paul Nungester, CFO of Premier. “We currently estimate full
year core expenses to be $158 million, down $5 million from our
prior estimate of $163 million, including $6 million due to the
sale of our insurance agency offset by $1 million of other costs
including higher FDIC premiums.”
Credit quality
Non-performing assets totaled $37.6 million, or 0.44% of assets,
at June 30, 2023, an increase from $34.8 million at March 31, 2023,
and from $35.2 million at June 30, 2022. Loan delinquencies
increased to $19.0 million, or 0.27% of loans, at June 30, 2023,
from $11.1 million at March 31, 2023, and from $11.2 million at
June 30, 2022. Classified loans totaled $60.5 million, or 0.85% of
loans, as of June 30, 2023, an increase from $44.9 million at March
31, 2023, and from $48.8 million at June 30, 2022.
The 2023 second quarter results include net recoveries of $0.2
million and a total provision expense of $0.5 million, compared
with net loan charge-offs of $5.3 million and a total provision
expense of $6.6 million for the same period in 2022. The prior year
charge-offs were primarily due to the student loan servicer credit
that had been previously fully reserved. The allowance for credit
losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.13% at June 30, 2023,
compared with 1.13% at March 31, 2023, and 1.14% at June 30, 2022.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans
excluding PPP and including unaccreted acquisition marks was 1.16%
at June 30, 2023, compared with 1.16% at March 31, 2023, and 1.21%
at June 30, 2022. The continued economic improvement following the
2020 pandemic-related downturn has resulted in a year-over-year
decrease in the allowance percentages.
Year to date results
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, net income totaled
$66.5 million, or $1.86 per diluted common share, compared to $48.7
million, or $1.36 per diluted common share for the six months ended
June 30, 2022. 2023 results include the impact of the insurance
agency sale for a net gain on sale after transaction costs of $32.6
million pre-tax or $0.67 per diluted share after-tax. Excluding the
impact of this item, first half 2023 earnings were $1.19 per
diluted share.
Net interest income of $110.4 million on a TE basis for the
first half of 2023 was down 6.0% from $117.4 million in the first
half of 2022. The TE net interest margin of 2.81% in the first half
of 2023 decreased 59 basis points from 3.40% in the first half of
2022. Results for all periods include the impact of PPP as well as
acquisition marks and related accretion. First half 2023 includes
$333 thousand of accretion in interest income, $433 thousand of
accretion in interest expense, and $11 thousand of interest income
on average balances of $818 thousand for PPP. Excluding the impact
of acquisition marks accretion and PPP loans, core net interest
income was $109.7 million, down 2.3% from $112.2 million in the
first half of 2022. Additionally, the core net interest margin was
2.79% for the first half of 2023, down 47 basis points from 3.26%
for the first half of 2022. These results are positively impacted
by the combination of loan growth and higher loan yields, which
were 4.76% for the first half of 2023 compared to 4.05% in the
first half of 2022. The cost of funds in the first half of 2023 was
1.72%, up 151 basis points from the first half of 2022. The
year-over-year increase is largely due to utilization of higher
cost FHLB borrowings in support of loan growth in excess of deposit
growth during 2022.
Excluding the $36.3 million gain on the sale of the insurance
agency, total non-interest income in the first half of 2023 of
$29.5 million was down 5.5% from $31.2 million in the first half of
2022. Mortgage banking income decreased $3.5 million year-over-year
as a result of a $2.3 million decrease in gains primarily from
lower production and margin as well as a $24 thousand MSR valuation
gain in the second quarter of 2023 compared to a $1.5 million gain
in the first half of 2022.
Security losses were $1.3 million in the first half of 2023,
primarily due to decreased valuations on equity securities. This
compares to a loss of $1.8 million from decreased valuations on
equity securities in the first half of 2022. The company also sold
$21 million of AFS securities for a $27 thousand gain with average
yields less than FHLB borrowing rates during the first half of
2023. Service fees in the first half of 2023 were $13.6 million, a
7.4% increase from $12.7 million in the first half of 2022,
primarily due to fluctuations in loan fees including commercial
customer swap activity and consumer activity for interchange and
ATM/NSF charges. Insurance commissions were $8.9 million in the
first half of 2023 down slightly from $9.0 million in the first
half of 2022 due to $0.9 million of contingent commissions in 2023
compared to $1.1 million in 2022. Wealth management income of $3.0
million in the first half of 2023 was up slightly from $2.9 million
in the first half of 2022. BOLI income of $2.4 million in the first
half of 2023 increased from $2.0 million in the first half of 2022
with $0.4 million of claim gains in the first half of 2023 compared
to none in the first half of 2022.
Excluding transaction costs for the insurance agency sale,
non-interest expenses in the first half of 2023 were $83.6 million,
a 4.0% increase from $80.4 million in the first half of 2022.
Compensation and benefits were $49.8 million in the first half of
2023, compared to $47.9 million in the first half of 2022. The
year-over-year increase was primarily due to costs related to
higher staffing levels for our 2022 growth initiatives and higher
base compensation, including 2022 mid-year adjustments and 2023
annual adjustments, offset partly by cost saving initiatives that
began during the second quarter of 2023. FDIC premiums increased
$1.7 million on a year-over-year basis primarily due to higher
rates and our 2022 growth initiatives. All other non-interest
expenses decreased a net $0.4 million on a year-over-year basis.
The efficiency ratio (excluding transaction costs and the FIG gain
on sale) for the first half of 2023 of 59.2% worsened from 53.4% in
the first half of 2022 due to lower revenues partly offset by cost
saving initiatives that began during the second quarter of
2023.
The 2023 first half results include net loan charge-offs of $2.2
million and a total provision expense of $4.2 million, compared
with net loan charge-offs of $5.2 million and a total provision
expense of $7.5 million for the same period in 2022. The provision
expense for both years is primarily due to relative loan
growth.
Total assets at $8.62 billion
Total assets at June 30, 2023, were $8.62
billion, compared to $8.56 billion at March 31, 2023, and $8.01
billion at June 30, 2022. Loans receivable were $6.71 billion at
June 30, 2023, compared to $6.58 billion at March 31, 2023, and
$5.90 billion at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2023, loans receivable
increased $132.7 million on a linked quarter basis, or 8.1%
annualized. Commercial loans excluding PPP increased by $75.2
million from March 31, 2023, or 7.0% annualized. Securities at June
30, 2023, were $0.97 billion, compared to $1.00 billion at March
31, 2023, and $1.15 billion at June 30, 2022. All securities are
either AFS or trading and are reflected at fair value on the
balance sheet. Also, at June 30, 2023, goodwill and other
intangible assets totaled $309.9 million compared to $335.8 million
at March 31, 2023, and $339.3 million at June 30, 2022, with the
decreases attributable to intangibles amortization and the FIG
sale.
Total non-brokered deposits at June 30, 2023,
were $6.58 billion, compared with $6.62 billion at March 31, 2023,
and $6.52 billion at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2023, customer
deposits increased $64.9 million on a year-over-year basis, or
1.0%. Brokered deposits were $413.2 million at June 30, 2023,
compared to $154.9 million at March 31, 2023 and none at June 30,
2022.
Total stockholders’ equity was $937.0 million
at June 30, 2023, compared to $914.5 million at March 31, 2023, and
$901.1 million at June 30, 2022. The quarterly increase in
stockholders’ equity was primarily due to net earnings after
dividends including the impact of the insurance agency sale partly
offset by a decrease in AOCI, which was primarily related to $12.1
million for a negative valuation adjustment on the AFS securities
portfolio. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to net
earnings after dividends including the impact the insurance agency
sale offset partly by a decrease in AOCI, which was primarily
related to $35.1 million of negative valuation adjustments on the
AFS securities portfolio. At June 30, 2023, 1,199,634 common shares
remained available for repurchase under the Company’s existing
repurchase program.
Dividend to be paid August 11
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.31 per common share payable August 11, 2023, to shareholders of
record at the close of business on August 4, 2023. The dividend
represents an annual dividend of 6.5 percent based on the Premier
common stock closing price on July 24, 2023. Premier has
approximately 35,730,000 common shares outstanding.

Premier or Premier’s vendors and service providers; failures or
delays in integrating or adopting new technology; the impact of the
cessation of LIBOR interest rates and implementation of a
replacement rate; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from
time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2022 and any further amendments thereto. All
forward-looking statements made in this presentation are based on
information presently available to the management of Premier and
speak only as of the date on which they are made. We assume no
obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a
result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except
as may be required by law. As required by U.S. GAAP, Premier will
evaluate the impact of subsequent events through the issuance date
of its June 30, 2023, consolidated financial statements as part of
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC.
Accordingly, subsequent events could occur that may cause Premier
to update its critical accounting estimates and to revise its
financial information from that which is contained in this news
release.
Non-GAAP Reporting Measures
We believe that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most
appropriate earnings measurement. However, we consider core net
interest income, core net income and core pre-tax pre-provision
income to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating
performance. We define core net interest income as net interest
income on a tax-equivalent basis excluding income from PPP loans
and purchase accounting marks accretion. We define core net income
as net income excluding the after-tax impact of the insurance
agency gain on sale and related transaction costs. We define core
pre-tax pre-provision income as pre-tax pre-provision income
excluding the pre-tax impact of the insurance agency gain on sale
and related transaction costs. We believe that these metrics are
useful supplemental measures of operating performance because
investors and equity analysts may use these measures to compare the
operating performance of the Company between periods or as compared
to other financial institutions or other companies on a consistent
basis without having to account for income from PPP loans, purchase
accounting marks accretion or the insurance agency sale. Our
supplemental reporting measures and similarly entitled financial
measures are widely used by investors, equity and debt analysts and
ratings agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and
investment recommendations of companies. Our management uses these
financial measures to facilitate internal and external comparisons
to historical operating results and in making operating decisions.
Additionally, they are utilized by the Board of Directors to
evaluate management. The supplemental reporting measures do not
represent net income or cash flow provided from operating
activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should
not be considered as alternative measures of profitability or
liquidity. Finally, the supplemental reporting measures, as defined
by us, may not be comparable to similarly entitled items reported
by other financial institutions or other companies. Please see the
exhibits for reconciliations of our supplemental reporting
measures.

(1) Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans has been
adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis using the statutory federal
income tax rate of 21%. (2) Core items exclude the impact of
insurance agency disposition related items. See non-GAAP
reconciliations. (3) Tangible assets = total assets less the sum of
goodwill and core deposit and other intangibles. Tangible equity =
total stockholders' equity less the sum of goodwill, core deposit
and other intangibles, and preferred stock. Tangible common book
value = tangible equity divided by shares outstanding at the end of
the period. (4) Efficiency ratio = Non-interest expense divided by
sum of tax-equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income,
excluding securities gains or losses, net.

(2) Interest on certain tax exempt loans and securities is not
taxable for Federal income tax purposes. In order to compare
the tax-exempt yields on these assets to taxable yields, the
interest earned on these assets is adjusted to a pre-tax equivalent
amount based on the marginal corporate federal income tax rate of
21%. (3) Securities yield = annualized interest income divided by
the average balance of securities, excluding average unrealized
gains/losses. (4) Net interest margin is tax equivalent net
interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Core
net interest margin represents net interest margin excluding PPP
and acquisition marks accretion.
