    Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $52.5 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 3.1%, compared to the linked quarter. The decline in the number of days during the current period compared to the linked period accounted for a decline in net interest income of $1.3 million. Excluding the impact due to the difference in the number of days during the comparative periods, the decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in interest earned on mortgage warehouse lines of credit and a $1.3 million decrease in interest income earned on PPP loans. The decreases in interest income earned on mortgage warehouse lines of credit and PPP loans were caused primarily by decreases in average loan balances of $154.0 million and $91.9 million, respectively, as the outstanding balances of PPP loans continued to be forgiven by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"), and higher interest rates had a negative impact on mortgage warehouse lines of credit.

    The yield earned on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was 3.13%, a decrease of 22 basis points compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of 45 basis points compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, the yield earned on LHFI was 3.95%, a one basis point increase compared to the linked quarter and a four basis point decrease compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The rate paid on total deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was 0.17%, representing a two basis point decrease from the linked quarter and a nine basis point decrease compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Combined interest-bearing balances due from banks and total investment securities represented 31.9% of the average interest-earning assets during the first quarter of 2022, compared to 27.3% and 17.6%, respectively, of the average assets during the linked quarter and the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    The fully tax-equivalent net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.86% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, a 20 basis point decrease and a 36 basis point decrease from the linked quarter and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Excluding PPP loans, the fully tax-equivalent NIM was 2.76%, a 16 basis point decrease and a 39 basis point decrease from the linked quarter and the quarter ended March 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in fully tax-equivalent NIM, excluding PPP loans, was primarily due to a surge in liquidity causing a shift in balance sheet composition which was primarily invested in comparatively lower-yielding interest-bearing balances due from banks and investment securities.

    (1) Please see the Loan Data schedule at the back of this document for additional information.

    The Company recorded a credit loss provision net benefit of $327,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a credit loss provision net benefit of $2.6 million recorded during the linked quarter. The release of credit loss provision reflects improved credit loss metrics with no material adjustments to model assumptions based upon economic forecasts. As it pertains to economic forecasts, uncertainty remains due to risks related to rising inflation, market interest rate increases, labor pressures, continued global supply-chain disruptions, as well as increased geopolitical risks.

    Credit metrics improved at March 31, 2022, when compared to the linked quarter. The allowance for loan credit losses to nonperforming LHFI increased to 293.53% at March 31, 2022, compared to 259.35% at December 31, 2021. The Company’s nonperforming LHFI and quarterly net charge-offs improved to $21.2 million and $7.1 million (annualized), respectively, compared to $24.9 million and $10.7 million (annualized), respectively, at December 31, 2021. Classified loans increased $1.0 million at March 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, and represented 1.36% of LHFI, excluding PPP loans, at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.35% at December 31, 2021.

    Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $15.9 million, a decrease of $795,000, or 4.8%, from the linked quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily driven by decreases of $5.6 million and $413,000 in other noninterest income and limited partnership investment income, respectively, offset by increases of $3.6 million, $1.2 million, and $424,000 in insurance commission and fee income, mortgage banking revenue, and swap fee income, respectively.

    The Company acquired the remaining 62% equity interest in the Lincoln Agency at December 31, 2021, and remeasured the previously held equity method investment to its fair value, resulting in recognition of a gain of $5.2 million in other noninterest income at December 31, 2021. As such, the $5.6 million decrease in other noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was primarily driven by this one time gain reflected in the prior quarter. The $3.6 million increase in insurance commission and fee income was primarily driven by seasonality, as there is typically higher insurance revenue in the first quarter of each year, and the acquisition of the remaining 62% in the Lincoln Agency and the acquisition of Pulley-White Insurance Agency, Inc, which significantly expanded the Company's insurance presence in the North Louisiana Market. The acquisitions contributed an additional $1.5 million to insurance commissions and fee income during the current quarter. The $1.2 million increase in mortgage banking revenue was primarily due to a gain on the pipeline in the current quarter, as well as a positive change due to improved value and performance on the mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") asset due primarily to increased market interest rates, net of MSR hedge performance. The $413,000 decrease in limited partnership investment income was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of investments in one of the limited partnership funds during the current quarter. The $424,000 increase in swap fee income was primarily due to an election to unwind a one-way swap, resulting in an early termination cost of $296,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, with no such termination during the current quarter.

    Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $42.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million, compared to the linked quarter. This increase was primarily driven by increases of $1.7 million and $708,000 in salaries and employee benefit expenses and professional fees, respectively, offset by a $575,000 decrease in loan related expense.

    The $1.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefit expense was primarily due to the insurance agency acquisitions that occurred on December 31, 2021. Additionally, bank salaries and benefits were higher due to a cost of living adjustment that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Of the $708,000 increase in professional fees, $548,000 was directly related to transaction costs in the current quarter related to the pending merger with BTH Holdings. The decrease in loan related expense was primarily due to higher loan related legal expenses incurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

    Income Taxes

    The effective tax rate was 20.4% during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 14.6% during the linked quarter and 19.1% during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The change in the effective tax rate when comparing the three months ending March 31, 2022, to the linked quarter was primarily due to the tax impact of the exercise of stock options and vesting of stock awards during the three months ended December 31, 2021, which lowered the effective tax rate during the linked quarter. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was negatively impacted by the transaction costs associated with the BTH merger.

    Financial Condition

    Loans

    • Total LHFI decreased $36.9 million compared to the linked quarter and $655.4 million compared to March 31, 2021.
    • Total LHFI, excluding PPP and mortgage warehouse lines of credit, were $4.66 billion at March 31, 2022, reflecting a $160.5 million, or 14.5% annualized increase, compared to the linked quarter and a $483.7 million, or 11.6% increase, compared to March 31, 2021.
    • Mortgage warehouse lines of credit totaled $503.2 million at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $123.8 million, or 19.7%, compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of $587.1 million, or 53.8%, compared to March 31, 2021.
    • Average LHFI decreased $26.7 million compared to the linked quarter and decreased $595.9 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
    • Average LHFI, excluding PPP and mortgage warehouse lines of credit, increased $219.2 million compared to the linked quarter and increased $437.3 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    Total LHFI at March 31, 2022, were $5.19 billion, reflecting a decrease of 0.7% compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of 11.2% compared to March 31, 2021. The decrease in LHFI compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by decreases in mortgage warehouse lines of credit and PPP loans, offset by increases in commercial real estate loans. PPP outstanding loan balances continued to decline primarily through the SBA’s forgiveness process and the outstanding balances of mortgage warehouse lines of credit were negatively impacted by higher market interest rates.

    Securities

    • Total securities increased $382.6 million compared to the linked quarter and increased $888.4 million compared to March 31, 2021. Total securities portfolio weighted average effective duration was 4.29 years as of 3/31/2022.
    • Average securities increased $157.1 million compared to the linked quarter and increased $616.2 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    Total securities at March 31, 2022, were $1.92 billion, increasing 24.9% and 86.3%, compared to the linked quarter and March 31, 2021, respectively. As discussed earlier, the increase in securities reflects a shift in balance sheet composition as liquidity continues to surge primarily due to declines in mortgage warehouse lines of credit and PPP loan balances and increases in deposits.

    Deposits

    • Total deposits increased $196.5 million and $421.0 million compared to the linked quarter and March 31, 2021, respectively.
    • Interest-bearing deposits grew $83.7 million, or 2.2%, compared to December 31, 2021, and declined $14.4 million, or 0.4%, compared to March 31, 2021.
    • Noninterest-bearing deposits grew $132.2 million, or 24.8%, compared to December 31, 2021, and $559.1 million, or 32.2%, compared to March 31, 2021.

    Business depositors drove an increase of $126.4 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, while public fund deposits accounted for a $56.9 million increase in interest-bearing deposits compared to the linked quarter. Business depositors drove an increase of $623.9 million in total deposits offset by a $571.7 million decline in brokered deposits compared to March 31, 2021.

    For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, average noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of total average deposits were 33.0%, compared to 33.6% for the linked quarter, and 29.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

    Borrowings

    Average Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and other borrowings for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, decreased by $2.3 million or 0.8%, compared to the linked quarter, and by $292.3 million or 52.4%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The changes in average FHLB advances and other borrowings from both the linked quarter and from the quarter ended March 31, 2021, were driven by short-term borrowing variations during the respective periods as a result of liquidity management.

    Stockholder’s Equity

    Stockholders’ equity was $676.9 million at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $53.3 million compared to $730.2 million at December 31, 2021, and an increase of $20.5 million compared to $656.4 million at March 31, 2021. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to a $71.6 million other comprehensive loss, net of tax, offset by net income for the quarter of $20.7 million. The securities portfolio ended the quarter with a net unrealized loss of $83.9 million, pre-tax, largely due to the steepening of the short end of the yield curve during the first quarter. The increase from March 31, 2021, was primarily driven by net income retained during the intervening period, and partially offset by other comprehensive loss, net of tax.

    Book value and tangible book value were impacted by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, experienced primarily on the Company's available for sale securities portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $65.9 million at March 31, 2022, compared to accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $5.7 million and $12.2 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

    ____________________________
    (1) PTPP earnings, PTPP return on average stockholders’ equity, PTPP return on average assets and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable GAAP measures, please see the last page of this release.
    (2) Net interest margin, excluding PPP loans, fully tax-equivalent, is calculated by removing average PPP loans from average interest-earning assets and removing the associated interest income (net of 35 basis points assumed cost of funds on average PPP loan balances) from net interest income.
    (3) Calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income.
    (4) A decline of $71.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income negatively impacted total stockholders' equity and tangible common equity and caused book value per common share and tangible book value per common share to decline by $3.02 primarily due to the steepening of the short end of the yield curve during the first quarter and its impact on our investment portfolio.
    (5) March 31, 2022, ratios are estimated and calculated at the Company level, which is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board.

    ____________________________
    (1) Past due LHFI are defined as loans 30 days or more past due. There were $266,000 of past due PPP loans at September 30, 2021, that are fully guaranteed by the SBA. There were no past due PPP loans for the other disclosed quarterly period end dates included in this release.
    (2) The allowance for loan credit losses (“ACL”) to total LHFI excluding PPP and warehouse loans is calculated by excluding the ACL for warehouse loans from the numerator and excluding the PPP and warehouse loans from the denominator. Due to their low-risk profile, mortgage warehouse loans require a disproportionately low allocation of the allowance for loan credit losses.

    ____________________________
    (1) Includes Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) repurchase average balances of $43.8 million, $45.2 million, and $59.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021, respectively. The GNMA repurchase asset and liability are recorded as equal offsetting amounts in the consolidated balance sheets, with the asset included in Loans held for sale and the liability included in FHLB advances and other borrowings.
    (2) In order to present pre-tax income and resulting yields on tax-exempt investments comparable to those on taxable investments, a tax-equivalent adjustment has been computed. This adjustment also includes income tax credits received on Qualified School Construction Bonds.
    (3) Net interest margin, excluding PPP loans, fully tax-equivalent, is calculated by removing average PPP loans from average interest-earning assets and removing the associated interest income (net of 35 basis points assumed cost of funds on average PPP loan balances) from net interest income.
