Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was $0.99 per share compared to $0.92 per share for the same quarter a year ago.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses
Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $17.4 million, or 12.3%, to $159.2 million during the first quarter of 2022, compared to $141.8 million during the same quarter a year ago. The increase was due primarily to a decrease in interest expense from deposits and an increase in interest income from loans and securities.
The net interest margin was 3.26% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 3.20% for the first quarter of 2021 and 3.23% for the fourth quarter of 2021.

In comparison, for the first quarter of 2021, the yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.68%, the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities was 0.67%, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.63%. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets resulted mainly from lower lending rates. The net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 3.01% for the same quarter a year ago.

Non-interest income
Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository service fees, letters of credit commissions, securities gains (losses), wire transfer fees, and other sources of fee income, was $20.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $10.2 million, or 102.0%, compared to $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to an $8.7 million increase in net gains from equity securities and a $1.3 million increase in swap dealer fees, when compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 1.8%, to $72.7 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $71.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $2.8 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $3.3 million in acquisition, integration and restructuring costs, and an increase of $2.0 million in professional expenses, offset, in part, by a decrease of $3.3 million in amortization expense of investments in low-income housing and alternative energy partnerships, and a decrease of $1.9 million in contributions to the Cathay Bank foundation when compared to the same quarter a year ago.

ASSET QUALITY REVIEW
As of March 31, 2022, total non-accrual loans were $86.3 million, an increase of $20.5 million, or 31.1%, from $65.8 million as of December 31, 2021, and a decrease of $8.1 million, or 8.6%, from $94.4 million as of March 31, 2021. The increase from the fourth quarter was due primarily to a $14.0 million commercial loan placed on nonaccrual status during the first quarter of 2022.
The allowance for loan losses was $145.8 million and the allowance for off-balance sheet unfunded credit commitments was $6.4 million as of March 31, 2022. The allowances represent the amount estimated by management to be appropriate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit commitments. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.84% of period-end gross loans, and 168.3% of non-performing loans as of March 31, 2022. The comparable ratios were 0.83% of period-end gross loans, and 202.4% of non-performing loans as of December 31, 2021.
