Results for the year ended June 30, 2023 include the impact of the merger of Quantum Capital Corp. ("Quantum") into the Company effective February 12, 2023. The addition of Quantum contributed total assets of $656.7 million, including loans of $561.9 million, and $570.6 million of deposits, all reflecting the impact of purchase accounting adjustments. Merger-related expenses of $5.5 million were recognized during the year ended June 30, 2023, while a $5.3 million provision for credit losses was recognized during the fiscal year to establish allowances for credit losses on both Quantum's loan portfolio and off-balance-sheet credit exposure.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 compared to the previous year:
- net income was $44.6 million compared to $35.7 million;
- diluted EPS was $2.80 compared to $2.23;
- ROA was 1.16% compared to 1.01%;
- ROE was 10.43% compared to 9.00%;
- net interest income was $157.4 million compared to $110.8 million;

- noninterest income was $31.1 million compared to $39.1 million;

- cash dividends of $0.39 per share totaling $6.2 million compared to $0.35 per share totaling $5.5 million.
The unrealized loss on our available for sale investment portfolio was $5.3 million, or 3.4% of book value as of June 30, 2023, compared to $3.1 million, or 2.4% of book value as of June 30, 2022. No held to maturity securities were held as of either date.
The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on August 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 17, 2023.
“The continuation of our strong quarterly financial results is the collective impact of our teammates believing in our vision and executing daily for our customers and each other,” said Hunter Westbrook, President and Chief Executive Officer. Our focus in recent quarters has been prudent growth in our loan portfolio while continuing to manage changes in liquidity. Overall, total loans were up slightly from last quarter, driven by an intentional shift to commercial and industrial lending while reducing commercial real estate lending. Consistent with many other institutions, in response to a downward trend in deposit balances in recent quarters, we have increased our wholesale borrowings while strengthening our contingent liquidity position.
“Our 4.32% net interest margin for the quarter continues to be strong relative to the industry, decreasing for the first time after two years of expansion. In addition, this was the first full quarter where the positive impact of our merger with Quantum was reflected in our financial results, contributing to the improvement in our annualized return on assets to 1.39%. Consistent with prior periods, credit quality remains strong with nonperforming classified credits at historically low levels.
“Lastly, our Board of Directors recently approved moving our fiscal year end from June 30th to December 31st. Although additional cost to execute the change will be incurred, we believe the benefits of aligning our year end with other high-performing commercial banks outweigh these one-time expenses.”

(1) Average loans receivable balances include loans held for sale and nonaccruing loans.
(2) Average other interest-earning assets consist of FRB stock, FHLB stock, SBIC investments, and deposits in other banks.
(3) Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
(4) Tax-equivalent results include adjustments to interest income of $298 and $290 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively, calculated based on a combined federal and state tax rate of 24%.
Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $8.5 million, or 16.7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was driven by an $8.2 million, or 17.1%, increase in interest income on loans. The overall increase in average yield and balances was the result of a continual rise in interest rates and inclusion of Quantum's loan portfolio for a full quarter compared to roughly half a quarter in the prior period. Accretion income on acquired loans of $973,000 and $353,000 was recognized during the same periods, respectively, and was included in interest income on loans.
Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $6.0 million, or 65.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, the result of a $4.8 million, or 61.0%, increase in interest expense on deposits and a $1.1 million, or 90.1%, increase on interest expense on borrowings. The increase can be traced to increases in the average cost of funds, primarily the result of a continual rise in market interest rates, and outstanding balances across funding sources, most significantly a result of the Quantum merger.
The following table shows, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, the effects that changes in average balances (volume), including differences in the number of days in the periods compared, and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities:

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") at an appropriate level under the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model.
The following table presents a breakdown of the components of the provision (benefit) for credit losses:

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $1.2 million during the quarter:
- $0.1 million provision driven by changes in the loan mix.
- $0.3 million benefit due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
- $0.1 million decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated credits.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $0.1 million during the quarter:
- $4.9 million provision to establish an allowance on Quantum's loan portfolio.
- $2.0 million provision driven by loan growth and changes in the loan mix.
- $1.2 million provision due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
- $0.2 million increase in specific reserves on individually evaluated credits.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, the $0.5 million benefit for off-balance-sheet credit exposure was the result of changes in the balance and mix of loan commitments as well as changes in the projected economic forecast outlined above. For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a provision of $0.4 million was also recorded to establish an allowance on Quantum's off-balance-sheet credit exposure.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $1.4 million, or 17.1%, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Changes in selected components of noninterest income are discussed below:

Total noninterest income | $ | 6,888 | $ | 8,310 | $ | (1,422 | ) | (17 | )% |
- Loan income and fees: The increase can be traced to $291,000 in additional loan prepayment penalties compared to the prior quarter.
- Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the volume of U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") commercial loans and home equity lines of credit ("HELOCs") sold, partially offset by an increase in the volume of residential mortgages sold during the period, all as a result of rising interest rates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, $22.0 million of residential mortgages originated for sale were sold with gains of $236,000 compared to $6.4 million sold with gains of $147,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. There were $12.1 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $721,000 in the current quarter compared to $16.6 million sold and gains of $1.2 million for the same period in the prior quarter. Lastly, the Company sold no HELOCs during the current quarter compared to $35.2 million sold and gains of $354,000 in the prior quarter.
- Operating lease income: The decrease was the result of lower contractual earnings due to a decline in the average balance of assets being leased as well as gains or losses incurred upon disposal of previously leased equipment, where we recognized a net loss of $279,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 versus a net gain of $17,000 in the prior quarter.
- Gain on sale of premises and equipment: During the three months ended June 30, 2023, one property was sold for a gain of $82,000 while during the three months ended March 31, 2023, one property was sold for a gain of $900,000.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $1.9 million, or 5.9%, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Changes in selected components of noninterest expense are discussed below:

Total noninterest expense | $ | 30,911 | $ | 32,833 | $ | (1,922 | ) | (6 | )% |
- Computer services: The increase can be primarily traced to additional recurring expenses associated with incorporating Quantum's operations.
- Marketing and advertising: The increase is the result of differences in the timing of when expenses are incurred quarter-over-quarter.
- Core deposit intangible amortization: The increase is a result of the Quantum merger core deposit intangible amortization recognized for a full quarter compared to a partial quarter in the prior period.
- Merger-related expenses: During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company completed its merger with Quantum in which significant expenses were incurred, including the payout of severance and employment contracts, professional fees, termination of prior contracts, and conversion of IT systems. No additional expenses were incurred in the current quarter.
- Other: The increase is primarily the result of $552,000 in fraud losses recorded during the current quarter versus a $36,000 net recovery of previously recorded losses in the prior quarter.
Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was 22.9% versus 17.6% in the prior quarter. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $3.0 million as a result of higher taxable income and changes in the effective state tax rate due to the addition of Quantum. Beyond generating lower taxable income, the expense for the prior quarter was reduced by permanent tax differences associated with exercised employee stock options.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022
Net Income. Net income totaled $44.6 million, or $2.80 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to $35.7 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $8.9 million, or 25.1%. The results for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to the year ended June 30, 2022 were positively impacted by a $46.6 million, or 42.1%, increase in net interest income partially offset by a $16.0 million increase in the provision for credit losses, a combined $9.2 million, or 62.0%, decrease in gain on sale of loans held for sale and debt securities available for sale and a $5.5 million, or 100.0%, increase in merger-related expenses. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Total interest and dividend income for the year ended June 30, 2023 increased $71.0 million, or 61.2%, compared to the year ended June 30, 2022, which was driven by a $66.7 million, or 60.8%, increase in interest income on loans, a $2.5 million, or 141.4%, increase in interest income on debt securities available for sale, and a $2.2 million, or 74.2%, increase in interest income on other interest-earning assets.
Total interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2023 increased $24.4 million, or 456.4%, compared to the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of increases in the average cost of funds across all funding sources driven by higher market interest rates.

Total provision (benefit) for credit losses | $ | 15,392 | $ | (592 | ) | $ | 15,984 | 2,700 | % |
For the year ended June 30, 2023, the "loans" portion of the provision (benefit) for credit losses was the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $3.2 million during the period:
- $4.9 million provision to establish an allowance on Quantum's loan portfolio.
- $1.3 million provision specific to fintech portfolios which have a riskier credit profile than loans originated in-house. The elevated credit risk is offset by the higher yields earned on the portfolios.
- $4.9 million provision driven by loan growth and changes in the loan mix.
- $2.6 million provision due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
- $1.5 million reduction of specific reserves on individually evaluated credits, which was tied to two relationships which were fully charged-off during the period.
For the year ended June 30, 2022, the "loans" portion of the benefit for credit losses was driven by an improvement in the economic forecast, as more clarity was gained regarding the impact of COVID-19 upon the loan portfolio.
For the year ended June 30, 2023, a provision of $0.4 million was also recorded to establish an allowance on Quantum's off-balance-sheet credit exposure. The remainder of the change in the provision for off-balance-sheet credit exposure was the result of changes in the balance and mix of loan commitments as well as changes in the projected economic forecast outlined above, which is the same reasoning for the provision for the year ended June 30, 2022.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the year ended June 30, 2023 decreased $8.1 million, or 20.6%, year-over-year. Changes in selected components of noninterest income are discussed below:

Total noninterest income | $ | 31,050 | $ | 39,109 | $ | (8,059 | ) | (21 | )% |
- Loan income and fees: The decrease was driven by lower underwriting fees, interest rate swap fees and prepayment penalties in the current year compared to last year, all of which were impacted by rising interest rates.
- Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in the volume of SBA loans and residential mortgages sold during the period as a result of rising interest rates. During the year ended June 30, 2023, there were $56.6 million of residential mortgages originated for sale sold with gains of $1.1 million compared to $263.0 million sold with gains of $6.4 million in the prior year. There were $49.0 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $3.4 million in the current year compared to $54.7 million sold with gains of $5.4 million in the prior year. There were $99.4 million of HELOCs sold during the current year with gains of $897,000 compared to $120.0 million sold with gains of $791,000 in the prior year. Lastly, $11.5 million of indirect auto finance loans were sold out of the held for investment portfolio during the prior year for a gain of $205,000. No such sales occurred in the current year.
- Operating lease income: The decrease was the result of lower contractual earnings due to a decline in the average balance of assets being leased as well as gains or losses incurred upon disposal of previously leased equipment, where we recognized a net loss of $451,000 for the current year versus a net loss of $12,000 in the prior year.
- Gain on sale of debt securities available for sale: The decrease was driven by the sale of seven trust preferred securities during the prior year which had previously been written down to zero through purchase accounting adjustments from a merger in a prior period. No securities were sold during the current year.
- Gain (loss) on sale of premises and equipment: During the current year, four properties were sold for a combined gain of $2.6 million, partially offset by additional impairment of $420,000 on premises associated with prior branch closures. During the prior year, no sales occurred but $87,000 of additional impairment was recorded on premises held for sale.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the year ended June 30, 2023 increased $10.8 million, or 10.3%, year-over-year. Changes in selected components of noninterest expense are discussed below:

Total noninterest expense | $ | 115,909 | $ | 105,097 | $ | 10,812 | 10 | % |
- Computer services: The increase can be traced to additional recurring expenses associated with incorporating Quantum's operations, continued investments in technology and the cost of services provided by third parties.
- Marketing and advertising: The decrease is due to a reduction in traditional media advertising (print, billboards, etc.) in favor of digital platforms at lower costs.
- Deposit insurance premium: The increase in expense is due to increases in the rates the Company is charged for deposit insurance as well as growth in the assessment base due to the Quantum merger.
- Core deposit intangible amortization: See explanation in the "Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023" section above.
- Officer transition agreement expense: In May 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment and transition agreement with the Company's Chairman and CEO, Dana Stonestreet. As part of this agreement, the full amount of the estimated separation payment was accrued in the prior year. No such expenses were incurred in the current year.
- Merger-related expense: See explanation in the "Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023" section above.
Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. The effective tax rate for 2023 and 2022 was 22.0% and 21.4%, respectively. Income tax expense for the current year increased $2.8 million as a result of higher taxable income and changes in the effective state tax rate due to the addition of Quantum.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets increased by $1.1 billion to $4.6 billion and total liabilities increased by $1.0 billion to $4.1 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2022. The majority of these changes were the result of the Company's merger with Quantum.
Stockholders' equity increased $82.3 million, or 21.2%, to $471.2 million at June 30, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2022. Activity within stockholders' equity included $44.6 million in net income, $37.7 million in stock issued in connection with the Company's merger with Quantum, $8.3 million in stock-based compensation and stock option exercises, offset by $6.2 million in cash dividends declared and a $1.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to increases in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" in accordance with its regulatory capital guidelines and exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.
Asset Quality
The ACL on loans was $47.2 million, or 1.29% of total loans, at June 30, 2023 compared to $34.7 million, or 1.25% of total loans, as of June 30, 2022. The drivers of this year-over-year change are discussed in the "Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022" section above.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $3.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to net recoveries of $694,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.10% for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to net recoveries of (0.02)% for the prior year.
Nonperforming assets increased $2.0 million, or 31.6%, to $8.3 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $6.2 million at June 30, 2022, although the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.18% for both periods due to growth in the balance sheet as a result of organic loan growth and the Company's merger with Quantum. Nonperforming assets included $8.3 million in nonaccruing loans and $100 of real estate owned ("REO") at June 30, 2023, compared to $6.1 million and $200,000 in nonaccruing loans and REO at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.23% at June 30, 2023 and 0.22% at June 30, 2022.
Classified assets increased $2.9 million, or 13.6%, to $24.5 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $21.5 million at June 30, 2022, although the ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 0.53% at June 30, 2023 from 0.61% at June 30, 2022 due to growth in the balance sheet as stated above.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States ("GAAP"), this earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include: the efficiency ratio, tangible book value, tangible book value per share and the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios as presented are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain items and provide an alternative view of its performance over time and in comparison to its competitors. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Set forth below is a reconciliation to GAAP of the Company's efficiency ratio:
