For the third quarter of 2022, $112.6 billion of U.S. dollar transfers occurred on the SEN, a 41% decrease from $191.3 billion transfers in the second quarter of 2022, and a decrease of 30% compared to $162.0 billion in the third quarter of 2021.

Results of Operations, Quarter Ended September 30, 2022

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis (Taxable Equivalent Basis)

The Company’s securities portfolio includes tax-exempt municipal bonds with tax-exempt income from these securities calculated and presented below on a taxable equivalent basis. Net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin are presented on a taxable equivalent basis to consistently reflect income from taxable securities and tax-exempt securities based on the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis totaled $84.7 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $74.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, and $39.0 million for the third quarter of 2021.

Compared to the second quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $10.2 million due to increased interest income driven by higher yields across the majority of interest earning asset categories, partially offset by increased interest expense. Average total interest earning assets decreased by $0.7 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreased securities and loans balances. The average yield on interest earning assets increased from 1.99% for the second quarter of 2022 to 2.58% for the third quarter of 2022, with the most significant impacts due to higher yields on securities and interest earning deposits in other banks. The yield on securities increased from 1.66% in the second quarter 2022 to 2.21% in the third quarter of 2022 due to an increase in market interest rates. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.3 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022, due to the utilization of brokered certificates of deposit and higher average balances of FHLB advances. The average rate on total interest bearing liabilities increased from 0.87% for the second quarter of 2022 to 2.19% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to interest expense associated with recently issued brokered certificates of deposit and an increase in interest rates on FHLB advances.

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $45.7 million due to increased interest income, with the largest driver being higher yields on interest earning assets, partially offset by increased interest expense. Average total interest earning assets increased by $2.3 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased securities balances partially offset by a decrease in interest earning deposits in other banks. The average yield on total interest earning assets increased from 1.27% for the third quarter of 2021 to 2.58% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to overall higher yields resulting from increased interest rates. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.7 billion for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021, due to the recent utilization of brokered certificates of deposit as well as higher average FHLB advances. The average rate on total interest bearing liabilities increased from 1.17% for the third quarter of 2021 to 2.19% for the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to the impact of increased interest rates on short-term borrowings.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 2.31%, compared to 1.96% for the second quarter of 2022, and 1.26% for the third quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher yields on adjustable rate securities and interest earning deposits in other banks reflecting the increasing interest rate environment, partially offset by higher borrowing costs associated with brokered certificates of deposit and FHLB advances as well as net expense from derivatives. The increase in net interest margin compared to the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to higher yields on adjustable rate securities, partially offset by higher borrowing costs associated with brokered certificates of deposit and FHLB advances.

________________________

(1)

Interest income on tax-exempt securities is presented on a taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for all periods presented.

(2)

Loans include nonaccrual loans and loans held-for-sale, net of deferred fees and before allowance for loan losses.

(3)

Interest income includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(4)

Net interest spread is the difference between interest rates earned on interest earning assets and interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

(5)

Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as annualized net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, divided by average interest earning assets for the same period.

Provision (Reversal) for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $0.6 million reversal of provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2022, compared to no provision for the second quarter of 2022 or for the third quarter of 2021 as a result of management’s assessment of the level of the allowance for loan losses, and the amount and mix of the loan portfolio, among other factors.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $8.5 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 8.2%, from the second quarter of 2022. The primary reasons for this decrease were a $0.9 million, or 9.7%, decrease in deposit related fees and a $0.3 million loss on sale of loans, offset by a $0.3 million increase in other income. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company sold approximately $3.6 million of one-to-four family real estate loans and recognized a loss on sale of $0.3 million.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 decreased by $5.6 million, or 39.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $5.2 million gain on sale of securities in the third quarter of 2021.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $33.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.6 million, or 8.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $10.8 million, or 48.4%, compared to the third quarter of 2021. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense attributable to increased headcount as part of organic growth to support the Company’s strategic initiatives. Other general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2022 included a $1.6 million reversal of the provision for off-balance sheet commitments. The increase in noninterest expense from the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits attributable to increased headcount as well as increases in communications and data processing, and professional services, all of which support organic growth and the Company’s strategic initiatives. This was partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance expense due to a lower growth rate in deposit levels.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, and $5.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 23.7%, compared to 21.5% for the second quarter of 2022, and 20.0% for the third quarter of 2021. The increase in the tax expense and effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2022 was driven by the increase in overall earnings in proportion to tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds which remained relatively consistent.

Balance Sheet

Deposits

At September 30, 2022, deposits totaled $13.2 billion, a decrease of $262.3 million, or 1.9%, from June 30, 2022, and an increase of $1.6 billion, or 13.5%, from September 30, 2021. Noninterest bearing deposits totaled $12.0 billion, representing approximately 90.7% of total deposits at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.4 billion from the prior quarter end, and a $0.4 billion increase compared to September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2022, the Company held $1.2 billion of brokered certificates of deposits that were issued during the third quarter of 2022.

Our continued growth has been accompanied by significant fluctuations in the levels of our deposits, in particular our deposits from customers operating in the digital asset industry. The Bank’s average total deposits from digital asset customers during the third quarter of 2022 amounted to $12.0 billion, with the high and low daily totals of these deposit levels during such time being $14.0 billion and $11.1 billion, respectively, compared to an average of $13.8 billion during the second quarter of 2022, and high and low daily deposit levels of $17.6 billion and $12.6 billion, respectively.

Demand for new deposit accounts is generated by the Company’s banking platform for innovators that includes the SEN, which is enabled through Silvergate’s proprietary API, and other cash management solutions. These tools enable Silvergate’s customers to grow their businesses and scale operations. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Company’s digital asset customer base and the deposits held by such customers at the dates noted below:

Statements in this earnings release may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would,” “aim” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. The inclusion of these forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that such expectations, estimates and projections will be achieved. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. For information about other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this release, please refer to the Company's public reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, below are certain factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained or implied in the forward-looking statements: changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions; geopolitical concerns, including the ongoing war in Ukraine; the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related variants and mutations and their impact on the global economy and financial market conditions and our business, results of operations, and financial condition; uncertainty in U.S. fiscal and monetary policy, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation/deflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations; volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; the transition away from USD LIBOR and uncertainty regarding potential alternative reference rates, including SOFR; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success, impact, and timing of our business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws, and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking, securities, digital currencies and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory bodies; cybersecurity threats and the cost of defending against them, including the costs of compliance with potential legislation to combat cybersecurity at a state, national, or global level; and other factors that may affect our future results.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this earnings release, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each risk and uncertainty on our business or the extent to which any risk or uncertainty, or combination of risks and uncertainties, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
