•Total risk-based capital of 15.15% compared to 15.34%
•Tangible capital ratio was 9.22% compared to 10.70%
Return on average total equity for the first quarter of 2022 was 14.04%, compared to 14.27% in the first quarter of 2021 and 13.91% in the linked fourth quarter of 2021. Return on average assets for the first quarter of 2022 was 1.44%, compared to 1.58% in the first quarter of 2021 and 1.51% in the linked fourth quarter of 2021. The company’s total capital as a percent of risk-weighted assets was 15.15% at March 31, 2022, compared to 15.20% at March 31, 2021 and 15.34% at December 31, 2021. The company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was 9.22% at March 31, 2022, compared to 10.77% at March 31, 2021 and 10.70% at December 31, 2021. The decline was a result of the yield curve steepening in the first quarter of 2022 and a corresponding decline in the market value of the company's available-for-sale securities portfolio. This resulted in an unrealized loss in market value of $117.4 million as of March 31, 2022, compared to an unrealized gain in market value of $20.9 million at March 31, 2021, and an unrealized gain in market value of $21.6 million at December 31, 2021.
Average loans, excluding PPP loans, were $4.28 billion for the first quarter of 2022 compared to $4.16 billion for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $118.9 million, or 3%. On a linked quarter basis, average loans, excluding PPP loans, increased by $67.0 million, or 2%. Average total loans were $4.30 billion in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $21.7 million, or 1%, from $4.28 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a decrease of $266.3 million, or 6%, from $4.57 billion for the first quarter 2021, due primarily to PPP loan forgiveness. Average PPP loans were $17.6 million during the first quarter of 2022, down from $402.7 million during the first quarter of 2021.
Total loans, excluding PPP loans, increased by $263.3 million, or 6%, as of March 31, 2022 as compared to March 31, 2021. On a linked quarter basis, total loans, excluding PPP loans, were $4.34 billion as of March 31, 2022, an increase of $79.5 million, or 2%, as compared to December 31, 2021. Total loans outstanding decreased by $120.9 million, or 3%, from $4.47 billion as of March 31, 2021 to $4.35 billion as of March 31, 2022, due primarily to PPP loan forgiveness of $384.2 million. PPP loans outstanding were $12.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and $396.7 million as of March 31, 2021.
Findlay added, “For the second consecutive quarter, organic loan growth has been strong as loan originations have outpaced commercial loan paydowns. We’re also encouraged by the continued trend of commercial line utilization, which has increased in each of the last four quarters and now sits at 43% versus a low of 39% in the first quarter of 2021. Equally as important is the growth in commercial lines of credit, which have increased by nearly $500 million over the last twelve months, accompanied by outstanding line balance increases of nearly $340 million since March 2021. The loan pipeline is also promising, and we are optimistic about continued loan growth in our Lake City Bank footprint.”
Average total deposits were $5.85 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $741.6 million, or 15%, versus $5.11 billion for the first quarter of 2021. On a linked quarter basis, average total deposits increased by $263.1 million, or 5%. Total deposits increased $590.7 million, or 11%, from $5.23 billion as of March 31, 2021 to $5.82 billion as of March 31, 2022. On a linked quarter basis, total deposits increased by $85.2 million, or 1%, from $5.74 billion as of December 31, 2021.
Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, increased by $590.4 million, or 11%, from $5.22 billion at March 31, 2021 to $5.81 billion at March 31, 2022. This increase was due to growth in commercial deposits of $274.5 million, or 14%; growth in retail deposits of $179.5 million, or 9%; and growth in public fund deposits of $136.4 million, or 11%. On a linked quarter basis, core deposits increased by $85.0 million, or 1%, at March 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021. Linked quarter growth resulted from commercial deposit growth of $19.9 million, a 1% increase; public fund growth of $55.9 million, a 4% increase; and retail deposit growth of $9.2 million.
Investment securities were $1.52 billion at March 31, 2022, reflecting an increase of $682.1 million, or 81%, as compared to $840.4 million at March 31, 2021. Investment securities increased $124.0 million, or 9%, on a linked quarter basis as $250 million of excess liquidity was deployed to the investment securities portfolio during the first quarter of 2022. Investment securities represent 23% of total assets on March 31, 2022 compared to 14% on March 31, 2021 and 21% on December 31, 2021. Investment securities as a percent of total assets have increased due to the deposit growth that occurred in 2020 and 2021.
Findlay added, “Healthy growth and retention of deposits continue to contribute to significant levels of liquidity on our balance sheet. Average balances in commercial and retail demand deposit accounts are more than double the levels experienced in March of 2020. As a result, we continued to deploy excess liquidity to the investment portfolio during the first quarter. Our balance sheet remains highly asset sensitive as we smartly manage the investment portfolio, and we look forward to our earning asset growth being driven by growth in loans.”

The company’s net interest margin decreased 26 basis points to 2.93% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 3.19% for the first quarter of 2021. The lower margin in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period was due to reduced levels of PPP forgiveness, which resulted in lower accretion of outstanding deferred fees at the time of forgiveness. Total PPP fee income recognized for the first quarter of 2022 was $461,000 compared to $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. PPP interest and fees added 3 basis points to first quarter 2022 net interest margin compared to an increase of 13 basis points for the first quarter 2021 net interest margin. The decrease in fee income recognition was accompanied by a decrease in earning asset yield of 37 basis points from 3.50% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 3.13% for the first quarter of 2022. As a result of excess liquidity on the company's balance sheet, the mix of earning assets included lower yielding earning assets consisting of balances at the Federal Reserve Bank and the investment securities portfolio. Offsetting the lower yield on earning assets, the company has been able to reduce its cost of funds 16 basis points from 0.48% for the first quarter of 2021 compared to 0.32% for the first quarter of 2022.
Linked quarter net interest margin excluding PPP, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was 3 basis points higher at 2.90% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2.87% for the fourth quarter of 2021. Earning asset yields, exclusive of PPP fees, expanded by 2 basis points. Interest expense as a percentage of earning assets decreased to a historical low of 0.20% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, from 0.21% for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021.
Net interest income increased by $1.2 million, or 3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. On a linked quarter basis, net interest income saw a nominal decrease of $127,000 from the fourth quarter of 2021. PPP loan income, including interest and fees, was $505,000 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, and $2.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2021.
“Our asset-sensitive balance sheet will benefit from the anticipated Federal Reserve Bank rate actions, which were initiated in the first quarter of 2022. Given that 68% of our commercial loans are at variable rates, we expect to see healthy growth in commercial loan yields as rates rise,” Findlay stated.
The company recorded a provision for credit losses of $417,000 in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $1.5 million of provision expense in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 72%. On a linked quarter basis, the provision increased by $417,000 compared to zero provision expense in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven primarily by fully reserving for one commercial credit that was charged off in the first quarter of 2022.
The company’s credit loss reserve to total loans was 1.55% at March 31, 2022 versus 1.61% at March 31, 2021 and 1.58% at December 31, 2021. The company’s credit loss reserve to total loans excluding PPP loans, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was 1.56% at March 31, 2022 versus 1.76% at March 31, 2021 and 1.59% at December 31, 2021.
Net charge offs in the first quarter of 2022 were $664,000 versus net charge offs of $91,000 in the first quarter of 2021 and net charge offs of $5.3 million during the linked fourth quarter of 2021. Annualized net charge offs to average loans were 0.06% for the first quarter of 2022 and 0.01% for the first quarter of 2021, and 0.49% for the linked fourth quarter of 2021.
Nonperforming assets increased $1.9 million, or 16%, to $14.1 million as of March 31, 2022 versus $12.2 million as of March 31, 2021. On a linked quarter basis, nonperforming assets decreased $1.2 million, or 8%, versus the $15.3 million reported as of December 31, 2021. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at March 31, 2022 increased to 0.22% from 0.20% at March 31, 2021 and decreased from 0.23% at December 31, 2021. Total individually analyzed and watch list loans decreased by $52.6 million, or 19%, to $218.8 million at March 31, 2022 versus $271.3 million as of March 31, 2021. On a linked quarter basis, total individually analyzed and watch list loans decreased by $15.7 million, or 7%, from $234.5 million at December 31, 2021, due primarily to borrower payoffs.
Findlay stated, “Reflective of improving asset quality trends, watch list loans have decreased for five consecutive quarters as we have cautiously moved through the challenges presented by the economic impact of the pandemic. Our borrowers continue to manage through the impact of labor availability and cost, inflation on input costs and the overall impact of this environment.”
The company’s noninterest income decreased $1.9 million, or 15%, to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $12.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. Noninterest income was positively impacted by elevated service charges on deposit accounts which increased by $318,000, or 13%, for these comparable periods. In addition, merchant fee income increased $193,000, or 31%, and loan and service fees increased $113,000, or 4%. The increases for these comparable periods were due to an increase in economic activity within the company's operating footprint. Offsetting these increases were decreases of
3
$864,000, or 63%, in mortgage banking income as mortgage banking has seen a decrease in loan originations during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to the rise in interest rates. In addition, bank owned life insurance income decreased by $839,000, or 111%, and net investment securities gains decreased $753,000, as there were no investment security sales in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in bank owned life insurance income was caused by market fluctuations in the company's variable life insurance policies during the first quarter of 2022, which are tied to equity market returns.
Noninterest income increased by $978,000, or 10%, on a linked quarter basis from $9.7 million. The linked quarter increase resulted primarily from an increase in mortgage banking income of $847,000 and an increase in other income of $780,000. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in bank owned life insurance of $449,000. The increase in mortgage banking income was caused by a decrease in prepayment speeds, a reversal of the mortgage servicing right asset valuation allowance, and reduced amortization expense of mortgage servicing rights due to the increase in interest rates during the first quarter of 2022. The increase in other income was caused by increased income from limited partnership investments.
The company’s noninterest expense increased by $223,000, or 1%, to $27.0 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $26.7 million in the first quarter of 2021. Other expense increased $995,000, or 44%, driven by accruals for ongoing legal matters and an increase in director share-based compensation expense, due to the appreciation of the company's stock price. Professional fees decreased $318,000, or 17%, due to reduced legal fees and a reduction in other professional fees related to the Lake City Bank Digital conversion that were incurred in 2021 and were not recurring in 2022. Corporate and business development expense decreased $290,000, or 19%, and data processing fees and supplies decreased $238,000, or 7%. Corporate and business development expenses were lower in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year first quarter of 2021 due to lower contributions and advertising expense. Data processing fees were lower in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year first quarter of 2021 due primarily to lower processing costs associated with PPP forgiveness applications in the first quarter of 2022.
On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased by $2.0 million, or 8%, from $24.9 million. Other expense increased by $1.2 million, or 57%, due to accruals for ongoing legal matters and director share-based payments, which are granted in January and July each year. Salaries and benefits expense increased $887,000 or 7%, driven primarily by wage increases, performance-based compensation and rising health insurance costs. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in professional fees of $447,000, or 22%. This was driven primarily by reduced legal fees. Additionally, the company increased the compensation of every hourly employee in the bank during the first quarter of 2022, reflective of the competitive workforce environment and the impact of inflation on the employee base.
The company’s efficiency ratio was 48.5% for the first quarter of 2022, compared to 47.6% for the first quarter of 2021 and 45.6% for the linked fourth quarter of 2021.
“We opened our 52nd office during the quarter in Elkhart, Indiana and continue to evolve the branch footprint to ensure that it reflects the changing role of a retail office in a digital environment. The relationship-driven culture of Lake City Bank is still an effective platform, and we are pleased with the design and functionality of our future offices,” added Findlay.
Paycheck Protection Program
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the bank has continued processing forgiveness applications for PPP loans made during the first and second rounds of the PPP program. As of March 31, 2022, Lake City Bank had $12.5 million in PPP loans outstanding, net of deferred fees, consisting of $3.1 million from PPP round one and $9.4 million from PPP round two. There were seven PPP round one loans and 21 round two loans that had not yet been through the U.S. Small Business Administration forgiveness process. The balance of deferred fees not yet recognized into income was $246,000 as of March 31, 2022.

Taxable equivalent basis adjustments were $1.27 million, $1.13 million and $687,000 in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
(2)Loan fees are included as taxable loan interest income. Net loan fees attributable to PPP loans were $461,000, $2.02 million, and $4.15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. All other loan fees were immaterial in relation to total taxable loan interest income for the periods presented.
(3)Nonaccrual loans are included in the average balance of taxable loans.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The allowance for credit losses to loans, excluding PPP loans, and total individually analyzed and watch list loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans, are non-GAAP ratios that management believes are important because they provide better comparability to prior periods. PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and have not been allocated for within the allowance for credit losses.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures is provided below (dollars in thousands).

Tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio and pretax pre-provision earnings are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of equity, net of deferred tax. Tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of total assets, net of deferred tax. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding less true treasury stock. Pretax pre-provision earnings is calculated by adding net interest income to noninterest income and subtracting noninterest expense. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. However, management considers these measures of the company’s value including only earning assets as meaningful to an understanding of the company’s financial information.

Net interest margin on a fully-tax equivalent basis, net of PPP loan impact, is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is important because it provides for better comparability to prior periods. Because PPP loans have a low fixed interest rate of 1.0% and because the accretion of net loan fee income can be accelerated upon borrower forgiveness and repayment by the SBA, management is actively monitoring net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis with and without PPP loan impact for the duration of this program.
A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure is provided below (dollars in thousands).
