Key developments for the recent quarter are described below:
Asset Quality: Asset quality metrics remain strong as criticized and classified assets, non-performing loans, and loans 30 to 89 days past due as a percentage of total loans receivable were 1.42%, 0.33%, and 0.10%, respectively. These metrics continue to reflect strong credit performance and remain low compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Capital Accretion: Common equity tier 1 capital ratio2, book value and tangible book value per share were 11.2%, $28.67 and $18.93, respectively, and increased approximately 20 basis points, $0.35 and $0.30 from the prior linked quarter.3
Share repurchases: The Company repurchased 338,087 shares totaling $5.0 million. The Company has 1,638,524 shares available for repurchase under the authorized repurchase program.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Christopher D. Maher, commented on the Company's results, "Our current quarter results reflected prudent balance sheet management and expense discipline. As rates are elevated and the yield curve remains inverted, net interest margin compressed during the quarter, but the pace of margin compression is slowing. Additionally, our credit quality continues to remain robust, we grew capital, and continued share repurchases during the quarter." Mr. Maher added, "The Company is well positioned to bolster shareholder value through growth in the second half of the year."
The Company's Board of Directors declared its 110th consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The quarterly cash dividend on common stock of $0.20 per share will be paid on August 16, 2024 to common stockholders of record on August 5, 2024. The Company's Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend on preferred stock of $0.4375 per depositary share, representing 1/40th interest in the Series A Preferred Stock. This dividend will be paid on August 15, 2024 to preferred stockholders of record on July 31, 2024.
1 Core earnings and core earnings before income taxes and provision for credit losses ("PTPP or Pre-Tax-Pre-Provision"), and ratios derived therefrom, are non-GAAP financial measures. For the periods presented, core earnings exclude merger related expenses, net branch consolidation expense, net (gain) loss on equity investments, net loss on sale of investments, net gain on sale of trust business, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") special assessment, and the income tax effect of these items, (collectively referred to as "non-core" operations). PTPP excludes the aforementioned pre-tax "non-core" items along with income tax expense (benefit) and provision for credit losses. Refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures", "Selected Quarterly Financial Data" and the "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables for additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
2 Estimated.3 Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity to tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude the impact of intangible assets, goodwill, and preferred equity from both stockholders' equity and total assets. Refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the "Non-GAAP Reconciliation" tables for additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
Results of Operations
The current quarter net interest income and margin were impacted by a mix-shift to and repricing of higher cost funding. Deposit betas increased modestly to 42%, from 40% in the prior linked quarter.4 Additionally, the current quarter provision for credit losses includes the impact of an additional $1.6 million charge-off on the single commercial real estate relationship that was previously moved to non-accrual and partially charged-off in 2023. The collateral related to the noted credit is currently under an agreement to sell, which is expected to occur during the third quarter.
4 Deposit beta measures the change in the interest rates paid for interest-bearing deposit accounts versus the change in the federal funds target rate. Represents the deposit beta for total deposits (interest-bearing and non-interest bearing) for the current rate cycle (since December 31, 2021).
Net Interest Income and Margin
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Net interest income decreased to $82.3 million, from $92.1 million, primarily reflecting the net impact of the higher interest rate environment.
Net interest margin decreased to 2.71%, from 3.02%, which included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.04% and 0.05%, respectively. Net interest margin decreased primarily due to the increase in cost of funds outpacing the increase in yield on average interest-earning assets.
Average interest-earning assets decreased by $46.3 million due to balance sheet contraction while the average yield for interest-earning assets increased to 5.25%, from 4.91%.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.14%, from 2.39%, primarily due to higher cost of deposits. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 2.37%, from 1.52%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $149.6 million, primarily due to an increase in total deposits, partly offset by a decrease in total borrowings.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Net interest income decreased to $168.5 million, from $190.9 million, reflecting the net impact of the higher interest rate environment. Net interest margin decreased to 2.76%, from 3.17%, which included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.04% for both periods.
Average interest-earning assets increased by $146.4 million, primarily driven by securities growth of $135.4 million, while the average yield increased to 5.25%, from 4.80%.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.09%, from 2.08%. The total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 2.34%, from 1.21%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $392.0 million. The drivers for the three month periods, described above, were also the drivers for the six month periods.
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. March 31, 2024
Net interest income decreased by $4.0 million, primarily due to an increase in cost of funds and lower average-interest earning assets. Net interest margin decreased to 2.71%, from 2.81%, which included the impact of purchase accounting accretion and prepayment fees of 0.04% for both periods.
Average interest-earning assets decreased by $146.6 million, primarily due to a decrease in loans. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 5.25%, from 5.26%.
The total cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.14%, from 3.03%, primarily due to higher cost of deposits. Total cost of deposits (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 2.37%, from 2.31%. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $129.4 million, primarily due to decreases in brokered time deposits and high yield savings accounts, partly offset by an increase in borrowings.
Provision for Credit Losses
Provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $4.2 million for the corresponding prior year periods, and $591,000 in the prior linked quarter. The current quarter provision was driven by the additional charge-off previously noted and changes in the external macro-economic forecasts, partly offset by lower loan balances.
Net loan charge-offs were $1.5 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to net loan charge-offs of $123,000 and $76,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The current quarter includes the impact of an additional $1.6 million charge-off related to a single commercial real estate relationship, as previously noted. Net loan charge-offs were $349,000 in the prior linked quarter. Refer to "Asset Quality" section for further discussion.
Non-interest Income
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Other income increased to $11.0 million, as compared to $8.9 million. Other income was favorably impacted by non-core operations related to net gains/losses on equity investments of $887,000 for the current quarter, and adversely impacted by non-core operations of $559,000 for the prior year quarter.
Excluding non-core operations, other income increased by $611,000, primarily driven by increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $544,000 and net gain on sale of loans of $387,000, partially offset by a decrease in fees and service charges of $587,000 on lower title activity and retail deposit fees.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Other income increased to $23.3 million, as compared to $11.0 million. The current period was favorably impacted by non-core operations of $4.0 million related to net gains on equity investments and sale of a portion of the Company's trust business. The prior year was adversely impacted by non-core operations of $8.1 million, primarily related to losses on sale of investments.
Excluding non-core operations, other income increased by $241,000, primarily driven by increases in the cash surrender value of bank owned life insurance of $1.1 million, which included one-time death benefits in the current period, and net gain on sale of loans of $724,000. This was partially offset by a decrease in fees and service charges of $1.3 million, which was driven by the same factors as noted above.
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. March 31, 2024
Other income in the prior linked quarter was $12.3 million and was favorably impacted by non-core operations of $3.1 million related to net gains on equity investments and sale of a portion of the Company's trust business. Excluding non-core operations, other income increased by $897,000, primarily due to an increase in fees and service charges of $542,000, which was driven by higher title activity.
Non-interest Expense
Three months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Operating expenses decreased $4.3 million to $58.6 million, from $62.9 million.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 vs. June 30, 2023
Operating expenses decreased to $117.3 million, as compared to $124.2 million. Operating expenses were adversely impacted by an FDIC special assessment in the current year of $418,000, and merger related and net branch consolidation expenses of $92,000 in the prior year period.

The prior linked quarter and current year's effective tax rates were negatively impacted by 3.0% and 1.6%, respectively, due to a non-recurring write-off of a deferred tax asset of $1.2 million.
Financial Condition
June 30, 2024 vs. December 31, 2023
Total assets decreased by $216.5 million to $13.32 billion, from $13.54 billion, primarily due to decreases in loans and debt securities.

The loan pipeline increased by $76.1 million to $259.1 million from $183.0 million. Held-to-maturity debt securities decreased by $53.9 million to $1.11 billion, from $1.16 billion, primarily due to principal repayments.

Other assets increased by $23.3 million to $203.0 million, from $179.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the market values of derivatives associated with customer interest rate swap programs.
Total liabilities decreased by $231.2 million to $11.65 billion, from $11.88 billion primarily related to lower deposits and a funding mix shift. Deposits decreased by $440.9 million to $9.99 billion, from $10.43 billion, primarily due to decreases in high-yield savings accounts of $283.1 million and interest bearing deposits of $243.9 million.

The loan-to-deposit ratio was 100.3%, as compared to 97.7%. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances decreased by $59.3 million to $789.3 million, from $848.6 million due to a mix shift in funding sources to other borrowings, which increased by $228.0 million to $424.5 million, from $196.5 million, as a result of lower cost funding availability.
Other liabilities increased by $31.4 million to $332.1 million, from $300.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the market values of derivatives associated with customer interest rate swaps and related collateral received from counterparties.

Additionally, accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $3.7 million primarily due to increases in fair market value of available-for-sale debt securities, net of tax.
The Company actively monitors its goodwill as the challenging economic environment persists and continues to pressure the Company's stock price and industry valuations. The Company customarily performs its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the third quarter.
The Company's tangible common equity3 increased by $11.6 million to $1.11 billion. The Company's stockholders' equity to assets ratio was 12.59% at June 30, 2024, and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio increased by 26 basis points during the quarter to 8.64%, primarily due to the drivers described above.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reported amounts are presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information, which consists of reported net income excluding non-core operations and in some instances excluding income taxes and provision for credit losses, and reporting equity and asset amounts excluding intangible assets, goodwill or preferred stock, all of which can vary from period to period, provides a better comparison of period-to-period operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes this information is utilized by regulators and market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and, therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures, which may be presented by other companies. Refer to the Non-GAAP Reconciliation table at the end of this document for details on the earnings impact of these items.
