Net loans increased to $3.508 billion at June 30, 2022, representing 34% annualized growth year-to-date and 33% growth from June 30, 2021. Growth was concentrated in the Bank’s commercial real estate portfolio.
Total deposits, including wholesale deposits, were $2.468 billion at June 30, 2022, representing 6% annualized growth year-to-date and 5% growth from June 30, 2021. Total retail and business deposits increased to $1.763 billion at June 30, 2022, representing 6% annualized growth year-to-date and 7% growth from June 30, 2021. Non-interest-bearing deposits, included in retail and business deposits, increased to $399.5 million at June 30, 2022, representing 5% annualized growth year-to-date and 12% growth from June 30, 2021. During the first half of 2022, the Bank used wholesale funds to help fund the strong loan growth experienced during the period.
Book value per share was $171.23 as of June 30, 2022, representing 7% annualized growth year-to-date and 12% growth from June 30, 2021. In addition to the increase in book value per share, the Bank has declared $2.99 in dividends per share since June 30, 2021, including a special dividend of $0.75 per share declared during the fourth quarter of 2021. The Bank increased its regular quarterly dividend in each of the last four quarters.
On June 29, 2022, the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.59 per share. This represents an increase of 4% over the previous regular quarterly dividend of $0.57 per share. The dividend will be paid on August 10, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 1, 2022. This will be the Bank’s 114th consecutive quarterly dividend and the Bank has consistently increased regular quarterly cash dividends over the last twenty-seven years. The Bank has also declared special cash dividends in each of the last twenty-seven years, typically in the fourth quarter.
The Bank sets the level of the special dividend based on the Bank’s capital requirements and the prospective return on other capital allocation options. This may result in special dividends, if any, significantly above or below the regular quarterly dividend. Future regular and special dividends will be considered by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.
Operational Performance Metrics
The net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 decreased 25 basis points to 3.21%, as compared to 3.46% for the same period last year. This decline was driven by a declining yield on interest-earning assets, resulting primarily from a lower yield on loans, combined with a higher cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 25 basis points to 3.25%, as compared to 3.50% for the same period last year. This decline was driven by a declining yield on interest-earning assets, resulting primarily from a lower yield on loans.
Key credit and operational metrics remained strong in the second quarter. At June 30, 2022, non-performing assets totaled 0.02% of total assets, compared to 0.01% at both December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Non-performing loans as a percentage of the total loan portfolio totaled 0.03% at June 30, 2022, compared to 0.01% at both December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.
The Bank recorded $50,000 in net recoveries in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $1,000 in net charge-offs for the same period last year.
The Bank did not own any foreclosed property at June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.
The efficiency ratio, as defined on page 4 below, fell slightly to 21.30% for the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 21.37% for the same period last year. Operating expenses as a percentage of average assets fell to 0.68% in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 0.74% for the same period last year. The Bank remains focused on reducing waste through an ongoing process of continuous improvement and standard work that supports operational leverage.
These operational metrics reflect the Bank’s disciplined focus on credit quality and expense management.
Chairman Robert H. Gaughen Jr. stated, “Returns on equity and assets in our core operations were adequate in the second quarter of 2022, although we face a range of headwinds, including significant near-term pressure on our net interest margin. In our business operations, we had significant growth across all three markets in our commercial real estate group with both new and existing relationship customers. We are carefully managing this growth moving forward, particularly as growth in our commercial deposits in the same period was modest by comparison. In our investment operations, we remain generally satisfied with the performance of our portfolio companies and we continue to increase our ownership of these companies as market conditions have presented opportunities to do so. As always, we remain focused on careful capital allocation, defensive underwriting and disciplined cost control - the building blocks for compounding shareholder capital through all stages of the economic cycle. These remain constant, regardless of the macroeconomic environment in which we operate.”
The Bank’s quarterly financial results are summarized in the earnings release, but shareholders are encouraged to read the Bank’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are generally available several weeks after the earnings release. The Bank expects to file Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 with the FDIC on or about August 5, 2022.
