FINANCIAL SUMMARY

DETAILED FINANCIALS

For the third quarter of 2020, net income was $57.1 million, compared to a net loss of $34.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, and net income of $88.1 million for the third quarter of 2019. On a fully diluted basis, earnings per common share were $1.08 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to a loss per common share of $0.73 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and earnings per common share of $1.70 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from a $70.0 million decrease in the provision for credit losses, as well as a $56.6 million decrease in non-interest expense, driven by significant non-recurring expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2020, as described below.

We recorded a $30.0 million provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2020 utilizing the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") methodology adopted in the first quarter of 2020, compared to $100.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $11.0 million for the third quarter of 2019. The linked quarter decrease in provision for credit losses resulted primarily from a decrease in charge-offs. We recorded $1.6 million in net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2020, compared to $74.1 million during the second quarter of 2020 and $36.9 million during the third quarter of 2019. Criticized loans totaled $1.1 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020 and $536.4 million at September 30, 2019. Criticized loan levels remain elevated due to the downgrade of loans to borrowers that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or that are in categories that are expected to be more significantly impacted by COVID-19.

Non-performing assets ("NPAs") totaled $161.9 million at September 30, 2020, a decrease of $12.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2020 and an increase of $41.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2019. Non-accrual energy loans totaled $73.8 million (46% of total NPAs) at September 30, 2020, compared to $103.9 million (60% of total NPAs) at June 30, 2020. Non-accrual leveraged lending loans totaled $31.3 million (19% of total NPAs) at September 30, 2020, compared to $39.1 million (22% of total NPAs) at June 30, 2020. The ratio of NPAs to total LHI plus other real estate owned ("OREO") for the third quarter of 2020 was 0.64%, compared to 0.68% for the second quarter of 2020 and 0.49% for the third quarter of 2019.

Net interest income was $207.6 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $209.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $252.2 million for the third quarter of 2019. Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2020 was 2.22%, a decrease of 8 basis points from the second quarter of 2020 and a decrease of 94 basis points from the third quarter of 2019. The shift in earning assets, primarily the increases in liquidity assets and investment securities, and decrease in LHI, excluding mortgage finance, contributed to the year-over-year decrease in net interest margin. LHI yields, excluding mortgage finance loans, decreased 20 basis points from the second quarter of 2020, and decreased 169 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2019. LHI, mortgage finance yields for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 9 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2020, and were unchanged compared to the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, total cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2020 decreased 8 basis points to 0.34% compared to 0.42% for the second quarter of 2020, and decreased 87 basis points from 1.21% for the third quarter of 2019.

Non-interest income decreased $10.2 million, or 14%, during the third quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020, and increased $40.0 million, or 197%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The linked quarter decrease was primarily related to a decrease in net gain/(loss) on sale of LHS, partially offset by an increase in brokered loans fees. The year-over-year increase was primarily related to an increase in net gain/(loss) on sale of LHS and an increase in brokered loan fees. The linked quarter and year-over-year increases in brokered loan fees were due to an increase in total mortgage finance volumes in the third quarter of 2020. The year-over-year increase in net gain/(loss) on sale of LHS was due to lower hedge costs in the third quarter of 2020 as a result of holding purchased loans for shorter durations than in prior periods, and is offset by the year-over-year decline in net interest income on LHS.

Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $56.6 million, or 25%, compared to the second quarter of 2020, and increased $16.3 million, or 11%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The linked quarter decrease was primarily related to decreases in salaries and employee benefits, communications and technology expense, servicing-related expenses and merger-related expenses. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in communications and technology expense, partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense. The linked quarter decrease in salaries and employee benefits and communication and technology expense was primarily due to non-recurring severance accruals and software expenses recorded in the second quarter of 2020. We wrote-off an additional $15.4 million in software assets during the third quarter of 2020, which contributed to the year-over-year increase in communications and technology expense. The full impact on salaries and employee benefits expense from the reduction in workforce and on software amortization expense from the software write-offs in the second and third quarters of 2020 is expected to be realized in non-interest expense in the first half of 2021, with meaningful reductions in run-rate occurring in the fourth quarter of 2020. Further software write-offs are not expected in the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter decrease in servicing-related expense was primarily due to a decrease in MSR impairment expense reflecting market conditions and our hedging program.

All regulatory ratios continue to be in excess of "well-capitalized" requirements as of September 30, 2020. Our CET 1, tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios were 9.1%, 9.9%, 11.8% and 7.6%, respectively, at September 30, 2020, compared to 8.8%, 9.7%, 11.6% and 7.5%, respectively, at June 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, our ratio of tangible common equity to total tangible assets was 6.8% compared to 7.0% at June 30, 2020.
