Net interest income

  • Net interest income totaled $163.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 1.3 percent, from linked quarter levels, impacted by a $335.2 million, or 2.8 percent, increase in average loans and higher short-term interest rates.
  • Earning asset yields improved seven basis points from the linked quarter, due to improved loan yields of seven basis points to 5.18 percent, in part driven by favorable re-pricing from higher short-term interest rates and improved yields in the securities portfolio. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 13 basis points to 1.34 percent, driven by an increase of $348.4 million in federal funds and repurchase agreements, and a nine-basis point increase in cost of interest-bearing deposits.
  • On a year-over-year basis, the increase in net interest income was driven by a 9.0 percent, or $1.0 billion, increase in average loans, as well as higher average loan yields, which increased 65 basis points compared to 2018, primarily driven by higher short-term interest rates, volume and asset mix changes.
  • For the first quarter 2019, average earning assets stood at $21.5 billion, an increase of 10.4 percent over the first quarter 2018.

Noninterest income

  • First quarter 2019 noninterest income increased $12.4 million, or 13.0 percent, on a linked quarter basis, largely due to:
    • Increases of $9.4 million and $2.0 million in company-owned life insurance income and derivative income, respectively, both of which are recorded in other income. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $2.6 million in gains on sales of assets and $0.9 million in loss recoveries, as compared to the fourth quarter 2018.
    • An increase of $2.5 million in trading and investment banking due to increased trading volume and increased market values of trading assets held.
    • An increase of $0.7 million in bankcard fees due to a decrease of $0.9 million in rebates expense recorded as contra-revenues.
    • An increase of $0.8 million in gains on sales of available-for-sale securities.
  • Compared to the prior year, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2019 increased $1.9 million, or 1.8 percent, primarily driven by:
    • Increases of $3.1 million and $1.1 million in company-owned life insurance and derivative income, respectively, both of which are recorded in other income. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in equity earnings on alternative investments.
    • A $1.5 million increase in trading and investment banking income due to increased trading volume.
    • A $0.8 million increase in money market revenue recorded in brokerage fees.
    • These increases were offset by a decrease of $2.5 million in fund servicing revenue due to previously announced customer repricing and losses, which was partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million in corporate trust income, both recorded in trust and securities processing.
    • A $1.1 million decrease in bankcard fees primarily driven by an increase of $0.4 million in rewards expense recorded as contra-revenues, coupled with a decrease of $0.4 million in interchange income.

  • GAAP noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2019 was $190.6 million, an increase of $6.3 million, or 3.4 percent, from the linked quarter and an increase of $14.8 million, or 8.4 percent, from the first quarter of 2018.
  • On a non-GAAP basis, operating noninterest expense (as reconciled later in this release) was $190.0 million for the first quarter 2019, an increase of $8.4 million, or 4.6 percent, compared to the linked quarter and an increase of $16.1 million, or 9.3 percent, compared to the first quarter 2018.
  • The linked quarter increase in noninterest expense was driven by:
    • A $12.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, largely due to increased deferred compensation expense of $9.9 million and higher payroll taxes and 401(k) expense recognized in the first quarter of 2019.
    • A $0.7 million increase in equipment expense driven by higher software expense in the first quarter of 2019.
    • These increases were partially offset by decreases of $5.5 million in legal and consulting expense and $1.6 million in marketing and business development expense due to the timing of multiple projects.
  • The year-over-year increase in noninterest expense was driven by:
    • An $8.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, largely due to increased deferred compensation expense of $3.3 million, and increases of $1.8 million in bonus and incentives expense and $1.7 million in salaries and wages expense.
    • An increase in other noninterest expense of $2.8 million primarily driven by an operational loss of $1.5 million and an increase of $1.2 million in derivative expense.
    • A $1.8 million increase in legal and consulting expense and an increase of $1.0 million in processing fees expense due to investments in digital channel and integrated platform solutions to support business growth and the continued ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems.
    • An increase of $0.9 million in equipment expense primarily driven by higher equipment maintenance and software expense in the first quarter of 2019.

Income taxes

  • The company’s effective tax rate was 15.4 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, compared to 14.9 percent for the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily a result of a decrease in excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation recorded in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.

Balance sheet

  • Average total assets for the first quarter 2019 were $22.9 billion compared to $21.9 billion for the linked quarter and $20.7 billion for the same period in 2018.

  • Provision for loan losses decreased $35.7 million from the linked quarter, and increased $2.4 million from the first quarter of 2018. This decrease was driven by higher provision during the linked quarter to cover the loss related to a $48.1 million factoring credit relationship, as well as other qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions, loan growth, loan impairment changes, loan risk grading changes and net charge-off levels.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we provide information about net operating income from continuing operations (net operating income), operating earnings per share from continuing operations - diluted (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA), operating noninterest expense, and operating efficiency ratio, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. The differences between the non-GAAP financial measures – net operating income, operating EPS, operating ROE, operating ROA, operating noninterest expense, and operating efficiency ratio – and the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled later in this release. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations may be useful to investors because they adjust for acquisition-, divestiture-, and severance-related items that management does not believe reflect the company’s fundamental operating performance.

Net operating income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding expenses related to acquisitions and divestitures, severance expense, and the cumulative tax impact of these adjustments.

Operating EPS (diluted) is calculated as earnings per share as reported, adjusted to reflect, on a per share basis, the impact of excluding the non-GAAP adjustments described above for the relevant period. Operating ROE is calculated as net operating income from continuing operations, divided by the company’s average total shareholders’ equity for the relevant period. Operating ROA is calculated as net operating income from continuing operations, divided by the company’s average assets for the relevant period. Operating noninterest expense for the relevant period is defined as GAAP noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the pre-tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments described above. Operating efficiency ratio is calculated as the company’s operating noninterest expense, net of amortization of other intangibles, divided by the company’s total non-GAAP revenue (calculated as net interest income plus noninterest income, less gains on sales of securities available for sale, net).

The company’s reportable segments include certain corporate overhead, technology and service costs that are allocated based on methodologies that are applied consistently between periods. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on methodologies in effect at March 31, 2019.
