Steven R. Gardner, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of the Company, commented, “We delivered solid results during a challenging second quarter. Our performance reflects our disciplined focus on prudent and proactive risk, liquidity, and capital management, as well as our commitment to expanding our long-term client relationships.

“Our track record of sound enterprise risk management, including the strategic actions we implemented during the first half of last year, has positioned us well in the face of economic uncertainty and turbulence in our industry. We are well-prepared to expand our business when compelling opportunities arise and once risk-adjusted spreads on new loans become more attractive given the dynamics of today’s interest rate environment. As always, our bankers are continuing to provide best-in-class service to our clients.

“I am proud of our team's exceptional efforts during the quarter, focusing not only on existing clients but also cultivating new banking relationships. We anticipate the ongoing uncertainty and industry challenges to continue until the Federal Reserve completes its cycle of tighter monetary policy. Our organization remains committed to providing stability for our clients, communities, and employees while delivering long-term value for our stockholders.”

INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $160.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of $8.5 million, or 5.1%, from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a higher cost of funds as a result of the current interest rate environment and lower average loans and investment securities balances, partially offset by higher yields on average interest-earning assets.

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2023 decreased 11 basis points to 3.33%, from 3.44% in the prior quarter. The lower net interest margin was due to a higher cost of funds, partially offset by higher yields on interest-earning assets and higher loan prepayment fees.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $12.7 million, or 7.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was attributable to a higher cost of funds and lower average loans and investment securities balances, partially offset by higher yields on average interest-earning assets.
