"Our third quarter results illustrate our through-cycle growth story, strong balance sheet, and consistent performance on credit quality.

Brooks. "As we finish the year, we continue to be encouraged by the strength of our loan and deposit pipelines, the continued repricing of our fixed-rate assets, and the sustained economic tailwinds across our footprint. We remain disciplined and focused on executing our strategic plan, pursuing healthy growth, and delivering exceptional service to our customers across Texas and Colorado."

Third Quarter 2023 Balance Sheet Highlights

Loans

  • Total loans held for investment, excluding mortgage warehouse purchase loans, were $13.8 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $13.6 billion at June 30, 2023 and $13.3 billion at September 30, 2022. Loans held for investment, excluding mortgage warehouse loans, increased $154.7 million, or 4.5% on an annualized basis, during third quarter 2023.

  • Average mortgage warehouse purchase loans were $425.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $413.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, and $402.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $12.8 million, or 3.1% from the linked quarter and an increase of $23.7 million, or 5.9% year over year.

Asset Quality

  • Nonperforming assets totaled $61.0 million, or 0.33% of total assets at September 30, 2023, compared to $60.5 million or 0.32% of total assets at June 30, 2023, and $81.1 million, or 0.45% of total assets at September 30, 2022.

  • Nonperforming loans totaled $38.4 million, or 0.28% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2023, compared to $37.9 million, or 0.28% at June 30, 2023 and $57.0 million, or 0.43% at September 30, 2022.

  • The decrease in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets for the year over year period was primarily due to the sale of a $7.7 million commercial nonaccrual loan and the payoff and partial charge-off of a $10.2 million commercial nonaccrual loan, both occurring in fourth quarter 2022, as well as $2.2 million in writedowns on other real estate properties for the year-over-year period.

  • Net charge-offs (recoveries) were 0.01% annualized in the third quarter 2023 compared to (0.03)% annualized in the linked quarter and 0.04% annualized in the prior year quarter.

Deposits, Borrowings and Liquidity

  • Total deposits were $15.3 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $14.9 billion at June 30, 2023 and compared to $15.0 billion at September 30, 2022.

  • Estimated uninsured deposits, excluding public funds deposits totaled $4.6 billion, or 29.9% of total deposits as of September 30, 2023 compared to $4.6 billion, or 31.1% as of June 30, 2023.

  • Total borrowings (other than junior subordinated debentures) were $546.7 million at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $633.6 million from June 30, 2023 and an increase of $79.8 million from September 30, 2022. The year over year change primarily reflects a $75.0 million increase in short-term FHLB advances and $33.8 million outstanding on the Company's unsecured line of credit at quarter-end offset by the redemption of $30.0 million of subordinated debentures in first quarter 2023. The linked quarter change reflects reductions in FHLB advances of $600.0 million as well as a $33.8 million paydown on the Company's line of credit.

Capital

  • The Company continues to be well capitalized under regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 2023, the estimated common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to average assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted asset ratios were 9.86%, 9.09%, 10.21% and 11.89%, respectively, compared to 9.78%, 8.92%, 10.13%, and 11.95%, respectively, at June 30, 2023 and 10.00%, 9.41%, 10.35%, and 12.27%, respectively at September 30, 2022.

Third Quarter 2023 Operating Results

Net Interest Income

  • Net interest income was $109.0 million for third quarter 2023 compared to $147.3 million for third quarter 2022 and $113.6 million for second quarter 2023. The decrease from the prior year was primarily due to the increased funding costs on our deposit products and FHLB advances due to Fed rate increases over the last year offset to a lesser extent by increased earnings on interest earning assets, primarily loans and interest-bearing cash accounts. The prior year decrease also reflects lower acquired loan accretion for the year over year period. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to continued increases in deposit funding costs offset by lower interest expense on FHLB advances due to a $948.7 million reduction in average balances as well as increased earnings on loans due to growth. The third quarter 2023 includes $940 thousand in acquired loan accretion compared to $2.1 million in third quarter 2022 and $870 thousand in second quarter 2023.

  • The average balance of total interest-earning assets grew by $616.6 million and totaled $16.7 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to $16.0 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and decreased $140.5 million from $16.8 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase from the prior year is primarily due to higher average loans of $579.1 million due to organic growth for the year over year period but also due in part to a $258.0 million increase in average interest-bearing cash balances offset by a $192.1 million decrease in average taxable securities balances. The decrease from the linked quarter is primarily due to lower average interest-bearing cash balances offset by an increase in average loan balances.

  • The yield on interest-earning assets was 5.31% for third quarter 2023 compared to 4.30% for third quarter 2022 and 5.14% for second quarter 2023. The increase in asset yield compared to the linked quarter and prior year is primarily a result of increases in the Fed Funds rate over the last year. The average loan yield, net of acquired loan accretion and PPP income was 5.67% for the current quarter, compared to 4.62% for prior year quarter and 5.51% for the linked quarter.

  • The cost of interest-bearing liabilities, including borrowings, was 3.72% for third quarter 2023 compared to 1.02% for third quarter 2022 and 3.37% for second quarter 2023. The increase from the linked quarter and prior year is reflective of higher funding costs, primarily on deposit products and FHLB advances as a result of Fed Funds rate increases. In addition, deposit funding costs were also higher due to promotional campaigns for certificate of deposit accounts.

  • The net interest margin was 2.60% for third quarter 2023 compared to 3.64% for third quarter 2022 and 2.71% for second quarter 2023. The net interest margin excluding acquired loan accretion was 2.58% for third quarter 2023 compared to 3.59% for third quarter 2022 and 2.69% for second quarter 2023. The decrease in net interest margin from the prior year was primarily due to the increased funding costs on deposits and short-term advances resulting from continued Fed rate increases over the year, offset by higher earnings on loans due to organic growth and rate increases and higher earnings on interest-bearing cash balances due to rate increases for the respective periods. The decrease from the linked quarter also reflects the increased funding costs on deposits offset by higher earnings due to loan growth and lower interest expense on FHLB advances.

Noninterest Income

  • Total noninterest income increased $169 thousand compared to third quarter 2022 and decreased $449 thousand compared to second quarter 2023.

  • The change from the prior year quarter reflects increases of $374 thousand in service charge income and $314 thousand in investment management fees offset by decreases of $405 thousand in mortgage banking revenue and $226 thousand in other noninterest income.

  • The change from the linked quarter primarily reflects a decrease of $474 thousand in mortgage banking revenue offset by a $285 thousand increase in other noninterest income. In addition, a $367 thousand gain on the sale of vacant land was recognized in the linked quarter.

Noninterest Expense

  • Total noninterest expense decreased $10.4 million compared to third quarter 2022 and $4.4 million compared to second quarter 2023.

  • The net decrease in noninterest expense in third quarter 2023 compared to the prior year is due primarily to decreases of $10.5 million in salaries and benefits expense and $2.2 million in professional fees offset by an increase of $1.9 million in FDIC assessment.

  • The decrease in noninterest expense in third quarter 2023 compared to the linked quarter is due primarily to decreases of $3.3 million in salaries and benefits expense. In addition, impairment expense of $1.0 million was recorded in second quarter 2023 on an other real estate property.

  • The decrease in salaries and benefits from the prior year is due primarily to $5.3 million in lower combined salaries and bonus expenses due to the fourth quarter 2022 reduction-in-force and overall strategic efforts to reduce costs, as well as lower contract labor costs of $1.4 million. Furthermore, third quarter 2022 includes $2.6 million in severance and stock grant amortization related to the separation of an executive officer offset by a $1.0 million economic development incentive grant related to job growth that was recorded in third quarter 2022 as a reduction to salaries expense. Third quarter 2023 was also impacted by lower stock grant amortization of $2.2 million related to performance-based executive compensation. The linked quarter change also reflects $377 thousand lower contract labor costs in addition to the lower stock amortization expense mentioned above.

  • The decrease in professional fees compared to the prior year was due primarily to lower legal fees as a result of the settlement of litigation in first quarter 2023 but also due to lower consulting fees compared to the prior year.

  • The increase in FDIC assessment compared to prior year was due to increases in the assessment rate charged by the FDIC which took effect in 2023, as well as an increase in the liquidity stress rate.

Provision for Credit Losses

  • The Company recorded $340 thousand provision for credit losses for third quarter 2023, compared to $3.1 million provision for third quarter 2022 and $220 thousand provision for the linked quarter. Provision expense during a given period is generally dependent on changes in various factors, including economic conditions, credit quality and past due trends, as well as loan growth and charge-offs or specific credit loss allocations taken during the respective period. The higher provision expense in third quarter 2022 reflects loan growth during that period.

  • The allowance for credit losses on loans was $148.2 million, or 1.08% of total loans held for investment, net of mortgage warehouse purchase loans, at September 30, 2023, compared to $146.4 million, or 1.10% at September 30, 2022 and compared to $147.8 million, or 1.08% at June 30, 2023.

  • The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures was $4.4 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $4.3 million at September 30, 2022 and compared to $4.9 million at June 30, 2023. Changes in the allowance for unfunded commitments are generally driven by the remaining unfunded amount and the expected utilization rate of a given loan segment.

Income Taxes

  • Federal income tax expense of $8.2 million was recorded for the third quarter 2023, an effective rate of 20.1% compared to tax expense of $13.5 million and an effective rate of 20.5% for the prior year quarter and income tax expense of $8.7 million and an effective rate of 20.5% for the linked quarter.

Subsequent Events

The Company is required, under generally accepted accounting principles, to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 on Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of September 30, 2023 and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

and The Company urges you to consider all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors carefully in evaluating all such forward-looking statements made by the Company. As a result of these and other matters, including changes in facts, assumptions not being realized or other factors, the actual results relating to the subject matter of any forward-looking statement may differ materially from the anticipated results expressed or implied in that forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement made in this filing or made by the Company in any report, filing, document or information incorporated by reference in this filing, speaks only as of the date on which it is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law. A forward-looking statement may include a statement of the assumptions or bases underlying the forward-looking statement. The Company believes that these assumptions or bases have been chosen in good faith and that they are reasonable. However, the Company cautions you that assumptions as to future occurrences or results almost always vary from actual future occurrences or results, and the differences between assumptions and actual occurrences and results can be material. Therefore, the Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this filing or incorporated by reference herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These measures and ratios include "adjusted net income," "adjusted earnings," "tangible book value," "tangible book value per common share," "adjusted efficiency ratio," "tangible common equity to tangible assets," "adjusted net interest margin," "return on tangible equity," "adjusted return on average assets" and "adjusted return on average equity" and are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.

We believe that these measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however we acknowledge that our financial measures have a number of limitations relative to GAAP financial measures. Certain non-GAAP financial measures exclude items of income, expenditures, expenses, assets, or liabilities, including provisions for credit losses and the effect of goodwill, other intangible assets and income from accretion on acquired loans arising from purchase accounting adjustments, that we believe cause certain aspects of our results of operations or financial condition to be not indicative of our primary operating results. All of these items significantly impact our financial statements. Additionally, the items that we exclude in our adjustments are not necessarily consistent with the items that our peers may exclude from their results of operations and key financial measures and therefore may limit the comparability of similarly named financial measures and ratios. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statements tables.
