INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW
SECOND QUARTER 2023 COMPARED TO THE FIRST QUARTER 2023
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $93.2 million, a decrease of $2.8 million, or 2.9%, compared to net income of $96.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. Net income for the second quarter of 2023 included a $10.7 million unrealized gain on equity securities, or $0.10 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2023 was $1.28 per share compared to $1.32 per share for the first quarter of 2023.
Return on average stockholders’ equity was 14.47% and return on average assets was 1.67% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to a return on average stockholders’ equity of 15.39% and a return on average assets of 1.76% in the first quarter of 2023.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses
Net interest income before provision for credit losses decreased $10.9 million, or 5.7%, to $181.5 million during the second quarter of 2023, compared to $192.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in deposit interest expense, offset by an increase in income from loans and securities.
The net interest margin was 3.44% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 3.74% for the first quarter of 2023.
For the second quarter of 2023, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.68%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.99%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.91%. In comparison, for the first quarter of 2023, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.54%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 2.46%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.40%. The increase in the costs of interest-bearing liabilities was mainly a result of higher interest rates on interest bearing deposits. The net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 2.69% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 3.08% for the first quarter of 2023.
Provision for credit losses
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared with $8.1 million in the first quarter of 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses, comprised of the reserve for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, increased $7.1 million to $165.6 million, or 0.87% of gross loans, compared to $158.5 million, or 0.87% of gross loans, as of March 31, 2023.

Non-interest income
Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository service fees, letters of credit commissions, securities gains (losses), wealth management fees, and other sources of fee income, was $23.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $8.9 million, or 62.7%, compared to $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $5.8 million increase in unrealized gains on equity securities and a decrease in the write-off of $3.0 million of an available for sale security from Signature Bank when compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense increased $9.6 million, or 11.5%, to $92.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $83.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an increase of $6.2 million in amortization expense of investments in low-income housing and alternative energy partnerships, an increase of $1.5 million in contributions to the Cathay Bank Foundation, and an increase of $1.5 million in professional services expenses offset, in part, by a decrease of $1.2 million in salaries and employee benefits when compared to the first quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio, defined as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses plus non-interest income, was 45.36% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 40.25% for the first quarter of 2023.
Income taxes
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 9.2% compared to 16.8% for the first quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate includes the impact of alternative energy investments, including the impact of a new solar tax credit fund that closed in the second quarter of 2023, and low-income housing tax credits.
