First Internet Bancorp 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. You should review the “Risk Factors” sections of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by such forward-looking statements. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report. 43 Overview First Internet Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company with $4.1 billion in total assets as of June 30, 2022, that conducts its primary business activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank (the “Bank”). The Bank was the first state-chartered, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Internet bank and commenced banking operations in 1999. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana on September 15, 2005. On March 21, 2006, we consummated a plan of exchange by which we acquired all of the outstanding shares of the Bank. The Bank has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Internet Public Finance Corp., an Indiana corporation that provides a range of public and municipal finance lending and leasing products to governmental entities throughout the United States and acquires securities issued by state and local governments and other municipalities; JKH Realty Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that manages other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties as needed; and SPF15, Inc., an Indiana corporation that owns real estate used primarily for the Bank’s principal office. We offer a wide range of commercial, small business, consumer and municipal banking products and services. We conduct our consumer and small business deposit operations primarily through digital channels on a nationwide basis and have no traditional branch offices. Our residential mortgage products are offered nationwide primarily through a digital direct-to-consumer platform and are supplemented with Central Indiana-based mortgage and construction lending. Our consumer lending products are primarily originated on a nationwide basis through relationships with dealerships and financing partners. Our commercial banking products and services are delivered through a relationship banking model and include commercial and industrial (“C&I”), construction and investor commercial real estate, single tenant lease financing, public finance, healthcare finance, small business lending, franchise finance and commercial deposits and treasury management. Our C&I team provides credit solutions such as lines of credit, term loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans and corporate credit cards on a regional basis to commercial borrowers primarily in the Midwest and Southwest regions of the United States.We primarily offer construction and investor commercial real estate loans within Central Indiana or on a regional basis and single tenant lease financing on a nationwide basis. Our public finance team provides a range of public and municipal lending and leasing products to government entities on a nationwide basis. Our healthcare finance team was established in conjunction with our strategic partnership with Provide, Inc. (formerly known as Lendeavor, Inc.), a San Francisco-based technology-enabled lender to healthcare practices, which provided lending on a nationwide basis for healthcare practice finance or acquisition, acquisition or refinancing of owner-occupied commercial real estate and equipment purchases. In the third quarter 2021, Provide was acquired by a super-regional financial institution. Subsequent to Provide being acquired, the acquiring institution has retained most, if not all, of Provide’s loan origination activity and our healthcare finance loan balances have declined. Our franchise finance business was established in July 2021 in conjunction with our business relationship with ApplePie Capital, a financial technology (“fintech”) company that specializes in providing financing to franchisees in various industry segments. Our commercial deposits and treasury management team works with the other commercial teams to provide deposit products and treasury management services to our commercial and municipal lending customers as well as pursues commercial deposit opportunities in business segments where we have no credit relationships. We believe that we can differentiate ourselves from larger financial institutions by providing a full suite of services to emerging small businesses and entrepreneurs on a nationwide basis. We have hired and continue to recruit experienced small business sales, credit and operations personnel to expand our capabilities in small business lending and U.S. government guaranteed lending programs. We continue to scale up this business with the goal of driving increased earnings and profitability in future periods. We plan to expand our fintech partnerships. With the rapid evolution of technology that enables consumers and small businesses to manage their finances digitally, fintechs are addressing a significantly growing marketplace. Fintechs have created robust digital offerings, unburdened by legacy technology architecture, to address growing customer expectations. Through partnerships with selected fintechs, we believe our ability to win and retain consumer and small business relationships will be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, we believe partnering with select fintechs will allow us to further diversify our revenue sources, acquire lower-cost deposits and pursue additional asset generation capabilities. 44 Results of Operations During the second quarter 2022, net income was $9.5 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, compared to second quarter 2021 net income of $13.1 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, representing a decrease in net income of $3.6 million, or 27.1%, and a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $0.32, or 24.4%.

The tables do not reflect any effect of income taxes except for net interest margin - FTE, as discussed below. Balances are based on the average of daily balances. Nonaccrual loans are included in average loan balances.

Net interest income is adjusted to reflect income from assets such as municipal loans and securities that are exempt from Federal income taxes. This is to recognize the income tax savings that facilitates a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets. The Company believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Net interest margin - FTE represents a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of this measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. 46 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 (in thousands) Average Balance Interest /Dividends Yield /Cost Average Balance Interest /Dividends Yield /Cost Assets Interest-earning assets Loans, including loans held-for-sale $ 2,998,085 $ 65,603 4.41 % $ 3,047,560 $ 61,720 4.08 % Securities - taxable 555,533 4,788 1.74 % 476,049 3,700 1.57 % Securities - non-taxable 78,952 577 1.47 % 85,581 540 1.27 % Other earning assets 388,760 1,172 0.61 % 478,065 697 0.29 % Total interest-earning assets 4,021,330 72,140 3.62 % 4,087,255 66,657 3.29 % Allowance for loan losses (28,288) (30,117) Noninterest-earning assets 163,026 133,074 Total assets $ 4,156,068 $ 4,190,212 Liabilities Interest-bearing liabilities Interest-bearing demand deposits $ 333,361 $ 878 0.53 % $ 186,795 $ 276 0.30 % Savings accounts 63,653 121 0.38 % $ 50,950 89 0.35 % Money market accounts 1,440,976 3,425 0.48 % 1,393,145 2,853 0.41 % BaaS - brokered deposits 41,836 160 0.77 % — — 0.00 % Certificates and brokered deposits 1,164,949 7,921 1.37 % 1,481,667 13,115 1.78 % Total interest-bearing deposits 3,044,775 12,505 0.83 % 3,112,557 16,333 1.06 % Other borrowed funds 601,274 8,205 2.75 % 584,268 8,192 2.83 % Total interest-bearing liabilities 3,646,049 20,710 1.15 % 3,696,825 24,525 1.34 % Noninterest-bearing deposits 110,605 94,506 Other noninterest-bearing liabilities 21,910 54,403 Total liabilities 3,778,564 3,845,734 Shareholders’ equity Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity 377,504 344,478 $ 4,156,068 $ 4,190,212 Net interest income $ 51,430 $ 42,132 Interest rate spread 1 2.47% 1.95% Net interest margin 2 2.58% 2.08% Net interest margin - FTE 3 2.71% 2.21% 1 Yield on total interest-earning assets minus cost of total interest-bearing liabilities. 2 Net interest income divided by total average interest-earning assets (annualized). 3 On an FTE basis assuming a 21% tax rate.

The increase in net interest income was the result of a $2.7 million, or 8.2% increase in total interest income to $36.1 million for the second quarter 2022 from $33.4 million for the second quarter 2021, as well as a $1.3 million, or 11.4%, decrease in total interest expense to $10.4 million for the second quarter 2022 from $11.8 million for the second quarter 2021. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $51.4 million, an increase of $9.3 million, or 22.1%, compared to $42.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net interest income was the result of a $5.5 million, or 8.2%, increase in total interest income to $72.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $66.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as well as a $3.8 million, or 15.6%, decrease in total interest expense to $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in total interest income for the second quarter 2022 compared to second quarter 2021 was due primarily to a $1.6 million, or 5.1%, increase in interest earned on loans, a $0.7 million, or 32.8%, increase in interest earned on securities and a $0.4 million, or 119.9%, increase in income from other earning assets. The increase in income from loans was primarily due to a 21 bp increase in the yield earned on loans as the average balance of loans was relatively flat compared to the second quarter 2021. The average balance of securities increased $45.7 million, or 8.0%, and the yield earned on the securities portfolio increased 35 bps for the second quarter 2022 compared to the second quarter 2021. In addition, the yield earned on other earning assets increased 71 bps, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of other earning assets of $187.4 million, or 36.8%. The decrease in the average balance of other earning assets was due primarily to lower cash balances. The increase in total interest income from the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was due primarily to a $3.9 million, or 6.3%, increase in interest earned on loans, a $1.1 million, or 26.5%, increase in interest earned on securities and a $0.5 million, or 68.1%, increase in income from other earning assets. The increase in income from loans was due primarily to a 33 bp increase in the yield earned on loans, partially offset by a $49.5 million, or 1.6%, decrease in the average balance of loans. The average balance of securities increased $72.9 million, or 13.0%, and the yield earned on the securities portfolio increased 19 bps for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. In addition, the yield earned on other earning assets increased 32 bps, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of other earning assets of $89.3 million, or 18.7%. The decrease in the average balance of other earning assets was due primarily to lower cash balances. 48 The decrease in total interest expense for the second quarter 2022 compared to the second quarter 2021 was due primarily to a $2.3 million, or 37.2%, decrease in interest expense related to certificates and brokered deposits, partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million, or 31.4%, in interest expense associated with money market accounts and a $0.3 million, or 225.9%, increase in interest expense associated with interest-bearing demand deposits. Additionally, the Company added Banking-as-a-service deposits in 2022, which increased interest expense by $0.2 million. Interest expense on certificates and brokered deposits decreased due to a decline of 30 bps in the cost of these deposits, as well as a $339.6 million, or 23.5%, decrease in the average balance of these deposits. The decrease in certificates and brokered deposit balances was driven by the Company’s pricing strategy to reduce the level of these higher cost deposits. The increase in interest expense related to money market accounts was driven primarily by an increase of 13 bps in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase in the average balance of these deposits of $11.3 million, or 0.8%. The increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to approximately $100.0 million in deposits with a contractual term of five years and a fixed rate of 1.15% pursuant to a new customer relationship in 2022. The decrease in total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was driven primarily by a $5.2 million, or 39.6%, decrease in interest expense related to certificates and brokered deposits, partially offset by a $0.6 million, or 218.1%, increase in interest expense associated with interest-bearing demand deposits and a $0.6 million, or 20.1%, increase in interest expense associated with money market accounts. Additionally, the Company added Banking-as-a-service deposits in 2022, which increased interest expense by $0.2 million. Interest expense on certificates and brokered deposits decreased due to a decline of 41 bps in the cost of these deposits, as well as a $316.7 million, or 21.4%, decrease in average balance of these deposits. The decrease in certificates and brokered deposit balances was driven by the Company’s pricing strategy to reduce the level of these higher cost deposits. The increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to approximately $100.0 million in deposits with a contractual term of five years and a fixed rate of 1.15% pursuant to a new customer relationship in 2022. The increase in interest expense related to money market accounts was driven primarily by an increase of 7 bps in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase in the average balance of these deposits of $47.8 million, or 3.4%. Overall, the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter 2022 declined 12 bps to 1.16% from 1.28% for the second quarter 2021. Additionally, the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 declined 23 bps to 1.15% from 1.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decline in the cost of funds for both the second quarter 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects the net maturities of higher cost certificates and brokered deposits and the continued shift in the deposit composition from certificates and brokered deposits to lower cost non-maturity deposit accounts. Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.60% for the second quarter 2022 compared to 2.11% for the second quarter 2021, an increase of 49 bps. On a fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, NIM was 2.74% for the second quarter 2022 compared to 2.25% for the second quarter 2021, an increase of 49 bps. The increase in second quarter 2022 NIM and FTE NIM compared to the second quarter 2021 reflects the decrease in the cost of funds and increase in earning asset yields noted above. NIM was 2.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 2.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and increase of 50 bps. On a fully-taxable equivalent basis, NIM was 2.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 50 bps. The increase in NIM for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflects the decrease in the cost of funds and increase in earning asset yields noted above. 49 Noninterest Income The following table presents noninterest income for the last five completed fiscal quarters and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Service charges and fees $ 281 $ 316 $ 292 $ 276 $ 280 $ 597 $ 546 Loan servicing revenue 620 585 544 511 457 1,205 879 Loan servicing asset revaluation (470) (297) (400) (274) (240) (767) (395) Mortgage banking activities 1,710 1,873 2,776 3,850 2,674 3,583 8,424 Gain on sale of loans 1,952 3,845 4,137 2,719 3,019 5,797 4,742 Gain on sale of premises and equipment — — — — 2,523 — 2,523 Other 221 498 345 731 249 719 618 Total noninterest income $ 4,314 $ 6,820 $ 7,694 $ 7,813 $ 8,962 $ 11,134 $ 17,337 During the second quarter 2022, noninterest income was $4.3 million, representing a decrease of $4.6 million, or 51.9%, compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was due to a $2.5 million gain on sale of premises and equipment resulting from the sale of the Company’s former headquarters in the second quarter 2021, as well as a decrease of $1.1 million, or 35.3%, in gain on sale of loans and a decrease of $1.0 million, or 36.1%, in revenue from mortgage banking activities during the second quarter 2022 compared to the second quarter 2021. The decrease in gain on sale on loans was due to a decrease in the volume of U.S. SBA 7(a) guaranteed loan sales, as well as lower net gain on sale premiums. The decline in mortgage banking revenue was due primarily to decreases in interest rate locks, sold loan volumes and gain-on-sale margins. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, noninterest income was $11.1 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 35.8%, compared to $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to a decrease in mortgage banking revenue of $4.8 million, or 57.5%, and a $2.5 million gain on sale of premises and equipment resulting from the sale of the Company’s former headquarters in the second quarter 2021, partially offset by a $1.1 million, or 22.2%, increase in gain on sale of loans. The decrease in mortgage banking activities was due mainly to a decrease in interest rate locks, sold loan volume and gain-on-sale margins. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due to an increase in the volume of U.S. SBA 7(a) guaranteed loan sales, as well as a $0.4 million gain on the sale of $14.4 million of single tenant lease financing loans in 2022. Noninterest Expense The following table presents noninterest expense for the last five completed fiscal quarters and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in thousands) June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Salaries and employee benefits $ 10,832 $ 9,878 $ 10,183 $ 9,316 $ 9,232 $ 20,710 $ 18,724 Marketing, advertising and promotion 920 756 896 813 872 1,676 1,552 Consulting and professional services 1,197 1,925 1,262 728 1,078 3,122 2,064 Data processing 490 449 425 380 382 939 844 Loan expenses 693 1,582 654 383 541 2,275 1,075 Premises and equipment 2,419 2,540 2,188 1,687 1,587 4,959 3,188 Deposit insurance premium 287 281 283 230 275 568 700 Other 1,147 1,369 1,064 914 1,108 2,516 2,245 Total noninterest expense $ 17,985 $ 18,780 $ 16,955 $ 14,451 $ 15,075 $ 36,765 $ 30,392 50 Noninterest expense for the second quarter 2022 was $18.0 million, compared to $15.1 million for the second quarter 2021. The increase of $2.9 million, or 19.3%, was due primarily to increases of $1.6 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.8 million in premises and equipment and $0.2 million in loan expenses. The higher salaries and employee benefits expense was due mainly to a $0.5 million discretionary inflation bonus paid to certain employees, $0.3 million of accelerated equity compensation related to employees who retired during the quarter and an increase in headcount, partially offset by lower incentive compensation due to decreased mortgage origination volume. The increase in premises and equipment was primarily related to costs associated with the Company’s new corporate headquarters, as well as investments in technology and software maintenance expense. The increase in loan expenses was due mainly to servicing fees related to franchise finance loans. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $36.8 million, compared to $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase of $6.4 million, or 21.0%, was due primarily to increases of $2.0 million in salaries and employee benefits, $1.8 million in premises and equipment, $1.2 million in loan expenses, $1.1 million in consulting and professional fees and $0.3 million in other expense. The higher salaries and employee benefits expense was due primarily to an increase in headcount, as well as the discretionary inflation bonus and accelerated equity compensation mentioned above, partially offset by lower incentive compensation due to decreased mortgage origination volume. The increase in premises and equipment was due mainly to costs associated with the Company’s new corporate headquarters, as well as investments in technology and software maintenance expense. The increase in loan expenses was due primarily to servicing fees related to tax refund advance loans and franchise finance loans. The increase in consulting and professional fees was due primarily to a $0.9 million consulting fee associated with a special project. Income tax provision was $1.3 million for the second quarter 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 11.8%, compared to a tax provision of $2.4 million for the second quarter 2021 and an effective tax rate of 15.4%. Income tax provision was $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.9%, compared to an income tax provision of $4.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 15.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The lower income tax provision and effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is the result of the decline in noninterest income, resulting in a higher proportion of tax exempt income to total pre-tax income. Financial Condition The following table presents summary balance sheet data for the last five completed fiscal quarters. (in thousands) Balance Sheet Data: June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Total assets $ 4,099,806 $ 4,225,397 $ 4,210,994 $ 4,252,292 $ 4,204,642 Loans 3,082,127 2,880,780 2,887,662 2,936,148 2,957,608 Total securities 610,602 628,658 662,609 696,136 729,178 Loans held-for-sale 31,580 33,991 47,745 43,970 27,587 Noninterest-bearing deposits 126,153 119,196 117,531 110,117 113,996 Interest-bearing deposits 3,025,948 3,098,783 3,061,428 3,114,478 3,092,151 Total deposits 3,152,101 3,217,979 3,178,959 3,224,595 3,206,147 Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank 464,925 514,923 514,922 514,920 514,919 Total shareholders’ equity 365,332 374,655 380,338 370,442 358,641 Total assets decreased $111.2 million, or 2.6%, to $4.1 billion at June 30, 2022 compared to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease is due primarily to decreases in cash balances and the fair value of total securities balances, partially offset by an increase in loan balances. As of June 30, 2022, total shareholders’ equity was $365.3 million, a decrease of $15.0 million, or 3.9%, compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to stock repurchase activity and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss resulting from a decline in the value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio caused by the continued rise in interest rates during the year. This was partially offset by the net income earned during the year and an increase in the value of interest rate swaps classified as cash flow hedges. Tangible common equity totaled $360.6 million as of June 30, 2022, representing a decrease of $15.0 million, or 4.0%, compared to December 31, 2021. The ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets decreased to 8.91% as of June 30, 2022 from 9.03% as of December 31, 2021, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets decreased to 8.81% as of June 30, 2022 from 8.93% as of December 31, 2021. Book value per common share decreased 0.4% to $38.85 as of June 30, 2022 from $38.99 as of December 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share decreased 0.4% to $38.35 as of June 30, 2022 from $38.51 as of December 31, 2021. The 51 decline in both book value per common share and tangible book value per share reflects the declines in total shareholders’ equity and tangible common equity.

Total loans were $3.1 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $194.5 million, or 6.7%, compared to December 31, 2021. Total commercial loan balances were $2.4 billion as of June 30, 2022, up $73.9 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 2021. Total consumer loan balances were $594.0 million as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $124.1 million, or 26.4%, compared to December 31, 2021. Compared to December 31, 2021, the increase in commercial loan balances was driven by growth in franchise finance, investor commercial real estate, public finance, commercial and industrial and construction loan balances. The increase was partially offset by payoffs in healthcare finance, small business lending, and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. The increase in consumer loans was due to higher balances in the residential mortgage, recreational vehicles and trailers loan portfolios. Franchise finance was established in July 2021 in partnership with ApplePie Capital, a leading provider of growth financing to franchisees in various industry segments across the country. Through this relationship, we have funded $173.8 million in total originations through June 30, 2022. 52 Asset Quality Nonperforming loans are comprised of nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days past due and accruing. Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, which consist of repossessed assets. The following table provides a summary of the Company’s nonperforming assets for the last five completed fiscal quarters. (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Nonaccrual loans Commercial loans: Commercial and industrial $ 350 $ 610 $ 674 $ 678 $ 692 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 1,661 3,267 3,419 3,429 3,487 Single tenant lease financing — 1,092 1,100 1,100 2,373 Small business lending (1) 1,297 881 959 1,351 1,209 Total commercial loans 3,308 5,850 6,152 6,558 7,761 Consumer loans: Residential mortgage 1,201 1,207 1,226 1,253 1,253 Home equity 14 14 14 14 14 Other consumer 4 13 9 26 10 Total consumer loans 1,219 1,234 1,249 1,293 1,277 Total nonaccrual loans 4,527 7,084 7,401 7,851 9,038 Past Due 90 days and accruing loans Total past due 90 days and accruing loans — — — — — Total nonperforming loans 4,527 7,084 7,401 7,851 9,038 Other real estate owned Single tenant lease financing — — 1,188 1,188 1,188 Residential mortgage — — — — 112 Total other real estate owned — — 1,188 1,188 1,300 Other nonperforming assets 23 1 29 — — Total nonperforming assets $ 4,550 $ 7,085 $ 8,618 $ 9,039 $ 10,338 Total nonperforming loans to total loans (2) 0.15 % 0.25 % 0.26 % 0.27 % 0.31 % Total nonperforming assets to total assets (2) 0.11 % 0.17 % 0.20 % 0.21 % 0.25 % Allowance for loan losses to total loans 0.95 % 0.98 % 0.96 % 0.95 % 0.95 % Nonaccrual loans to total loans 0.15 % 0.25 % 0.26 % 0.27 % 0.31 % Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans (2) 644.0 % 398.8 % 376.2 % 356.6 % 310.5 % 1 Balance represents U.S. government guaranteed loans. 2 Includes the impact of nonperforming small business lending loans, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government. Total nonperforming loans declined $2.9 million, or 38.8%, to $4.5 million as of June 30, 2022 compared to $7.4 million as of December 31, 2021 due primarily to upgrades and payoffs in the owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan portfolios. Total nonperforming assets declined $4.1 million, or 47.2%, as of June 30, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021, due primarily to the upgrades and payoffs discussed above as well as the decline in other real estate owned (“OREO”) discussed below. 53 Troubled Debt Restructurings The following table provides a summary of troubled debt restructurings for the last five completed fiscal quarters. (in thousands) June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Troubled debt restructurings – nonaccrual $ 2,389 $ 2,440 $ 2,492 $ 2,550 $ 2,581 Troubled debt restructurings – performing 2,425 2,418 1,693 843 1,179 Total troubled debt restructurings $ 4,814 $ 4,858 $ 4,185 $ 3,393 $ 3,760 Total TDRs as of June 30, 2022 were $4.8 million, up $0.6 million from December 31, 2021. The increase was driven by one residential mortgage loan that became a TDR in 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Company did not own any OREO. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had one single tenant lease financing property in OREO with a carrying value of $1.2 million. During the first quarter 2022, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the guarantor, which resulted in the Company recovering $1.2 million in excess of the carrying value of OREO. Non-TDR Loan Modifications due to COVID-19 The “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus” was issued by our banking regulators on March 22, 2020. This guidance encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that loan modifications due to the impact of COVID-19 that would otherwise be classified as TDRs under GAAP will not be so classified. Modifications within the scope of this relief were in effect from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until January 1, 2022. In accordance with this guidance, the Company offered modifications to borrowers who were both impacted by COVID-19 and current on all principal and interest payments. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had one loan totaling $8.0 million in non-TDR loan modifications due to COVID-19. U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program Section 1102 of the CARES Act created the PPP, which is jointly administered by the SBA and the Department of the Treasury. The PPP is designed to provide a direct incentive to small businesses to retain employees on their payroll during COVID-19 as well as to help cover certain utility costs and rent payments. These loans may be forgiven if certain conditions are satisfied and are fully guaranteed by the SBA. In 2020, as a preferred SBA lender, we assisted our clients in participating in the PPP to help them maintain their workforce in an uncertain and challenging environment. The loans originated in 2020 bear an interest rate of 1.00%, and we received gross origination fees of approximately $2.3 million. The Company received this fee revenue from the SBA in late June 2020, and it was deferred over the life of the PPP loans and recognized as interest income. The Company began processing applications for forgiveness from this round beginning in December 2020 and 100% of loan balances have been forgiven as of December 31, 2021. On December 27, 2020, $285 billion in additional funding was allocated to the PPP through the passage of the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Nonprofits, and Venues Act. The Company began offering PPP loans again in 2021 and continued until the program’s funds were depleted. These loans may be forgiven if certain conditions are satisfied and are fully guaranteed by the SBA. The loans originated during 2021 bear an interest rate of 1.00% and the Company received gross origination fees of approximately $1.3 million. The Company received this fee revenue from the SBA during 2021, and it is being deferred over the life of the PPP loans and recognized as interest income. The Company began processing applications for forgiveness from this round beginning in May 2021 and 99% of loan balances have been forgiven as of June 30, 2022. 54 The following table provides a rollforward of the activity of PPP loans through June 30, 2022.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans increased to 644.0% as of June 30, 2022, compared to 376.2% as of December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs of $0.3 million were recognized during the second quarter 2022, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 0.04%, compared to net charge-offs to average loans of 0.35% for the second quarter 2021. Excluding net charge-offs related to tax refund advance loans, net recoveries of $0.1 million were recognized during the second quarter 2022, resulting in net recoveries to average loans of 0.01%. The provision for loan losses in the second quarter 2022 was $1.2 million, compared to $21 thousand for the second quarter 2021. The provision for the second quarter 2022 was driven primarily by growth in the loan portfolio. Investment Securities Portfolio The following tables present the amortized cost and approximate fair value of our investment portfolio by security type for the last five completed fiscal quarters.

The decrease was due primarily to decreases of $135.7 million in agency mortgage-backed securities - residential, $14.1 million in agency mortgage-backed securities - commercial, $9.1 million in municipal securities and $9.0 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies. The decrease in agency mortgage-backed securities - residential and agency mortgage-backed securities - commercial was due primarily to the transfer of $96.2 million of these securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity in the first quarter 2022, as well as a decline in fair value resulting from the continued rise in interest rates. The decreases in other securities types were also driven by a decline in value resulting from the continued rise in interest rates. Accrued Income and Other Assets Accrued income and other assets decreased $12.5 million, or 26.7%, to $34.3 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $46.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease of $15.7 million in cash pledged as collateral, partially offset by an increase of $3.9 million in income tax receivable. As of June 30, 2022 the Company had no pledged cash collateral compared to $15.7 million, as of December 31, 2021. Cash collateral is pledged to counterparties on interest rate swap agreements as security for its obligations related to these agreements. Collateral posted and received is dependent on the fair value of the underlying agreements as of the respective date. Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities Accrued expenses and other liabilities decreased $19.5 million, or 63.8%, to $11.1 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $30.5 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities was due primarily to decreases of $14.3 million, or 100.0%, in derivative liabilities, $1.9 million, or 0.4%, in accrued salary and benefits and $3.9 million in accrued taxes, partially offset by an increase in other liabilities. 58 Deposits The following table presents the composition of the Company’s deposit base for the last five completed fiscal quarters. (dollars in thousands) June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Noninterest-bearing deposits $ 126,153 4.0 % $ 119,197 3.7 % $ 117,531 3.7 % $ 110,117 3.4 % $ 113,996 3.6 % Interest-bearing demand deposits 350,551 11.1 % 334,723 10.4 % 247,967 7.8 % 201,557 6.3 % 196,841 6.1 % Savings accounts 65,365 2.1 % 66,320 2.1 % 59,998 1.9 % 66,762 2.1 % 56,298 1.8 % Money market accounts 1,363,424 43.3 % 1,475,857 45.8 % 1,483,936 46.7 % 1,479,358 45.8 % 1,432,355 44.6 % BaaS - brokered deposits 194,133 6.2 % 50,006 1.6 % — 0.0 % — 0.0 % — 0.0 % Certificates of deposits 800,598 25.3 % 889,789 27.6 % 970,107 30.5 % 1,043,898 32.4 % 1,087,350 33.9 % Brokered deposits 251,877 8.0 % 282,087 8.8 % 299,420 9.4 % 322,903 10.0 % 319,307 10.0 % Total deposits $ 3,152,101 100.0 % $ 3,217,979 100.0 % $ 3,178,959 100.0 % $ 3,224,595 100.0 % $ 3,206,147 100.0 % Total deposits decreased $26.9 million, or 0.8%, to $3.2 billion as of June 30, 2022, compared to $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2021. This decrease was due primarily to decreases of $169.5 million, or 17.5%, in certificates of deposits, $120.5 million, or 8.1%, in money market accounts and $47.5 million, or 15.9%, in brokered deposits, partially offset by increases of $194.1 million, in BaaS - brokered deposits, $102.6 million, or 41.4%, in interest-bearing demand deposits, and $8.6 million, or 7.3%, in noninterest-bearing deposits. The decrease in the balance of certificates of deposits was due to the maturity of higher-cost balances and reduced pricing strategies designed to limit the volume of new production. The decrease in money market accounts was due primarily to certain customer activity that can be periodically volatile. The decrease in brokered deposits was due to the maturity of higher-cost balances. The increase in BaaS deposits was due to a relationship established in the first quarter 2022 that grew during the second quarter 2022. The increase in the balance of interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to a new customer relationship with approximately $100.0 million in deposits with a contractual term of five years and a fixed rate of 1.15%. Recent Debt Offerings In August 2021, the Company issued $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) in a private placement. The 2031 Notes initially bear a fixed interest rate of 3.75% per year to, but excluding, September 1, 2026, and thereafter a floating rate equal to the then-current benchmark rate (initially three-month Term SOFR plus 3.11%). The 2031 Notes are scheduled to mature on September 1, 2031. The 2031 Notes are unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and may be repaid, without penalty, on any interest payment date on or after September 1, 2026. The 2031 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under regulatory guidelines. Pursuant to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the initial purchasers of the 2031 Notes, the Company offered to exchange the 2031 Notes for subordinated notes that are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have substantially the same terms as the 2031 Notes. On December 30, 2021, the Company completed an exchange of $59.3 million principal amount of the unregistered 2031 Notes for registered 2031 Notes in satisfaction of its obligations under the registration rights agreement. Holders of $0.7 million of unregistered 2031 Notes did not participate in the exchange. Regulatory Capital Requirements The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting and other factors. The Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to a phase-in period for certain provisions. Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the maintenance of minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Total capital, as defined in the regulations, to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets (“Leverage Ratio”). 59 The Basel III Capital Rules were fully phased in on January 1, 2019 and require the Company and the Bank to maintain: 1) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 7.0%); 2) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%); 3) a minimum ratio of Total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (resulting in a minimum Total capital ratio of 10.5%); and 4) a minimum Leverage Ratio of 4.0%. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Failure to maintain the minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio plus the capital conservation buffer will result in potential restrictions on a banking institution’s ability to pay dividends, repurchase stock and/or pay discretionary compensation to its employees. The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for the Company and the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which are based on the Basel III Capital Rules. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis; however, the declaration and amount of any future cash dividends will be subject to the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions (including with respect to the Company’s outstanding subordinated debt), business strategy and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $107.0 million principal amount of subordinated debt outstanding evidenced by the 2029 Notes, 2030 Note and 2031 Notes. The agreements that govern our outstanding subordinated debt prohibit the Company from paying any dividends on its common stock or making any other distributions to shareholders at any time when there shall have occurred, and be continuing to occur, an event of default under the applicable agreement. If an event of default were to occur and the Company did not cure it, the Company would be prohibited from paying any dividends or making any other distributions to shareholders or from redeeming or repurchasing any common stock. Capital Resources The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its cash and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months and longer. The Company may explore strategic alternatives, including additional asset, deposit or revenue generation channels that complement our commercial and consumer banking platforms, which may require additional capital. If the Company is unable to secure such capital at favorable terms, its ability to take advantage of such opportunities could be adversely affected. On October 20, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $30 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Under this program, the Company repurchased 100,000 shares at a total cost of $4.4 million during 2021, 103,703 shares at a total cost of $5.1 million during the first quarter 2022 and 294,464 shares at a total cost of $11.1 million during the second quarter 2022. The stock repurchase authorization is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022. Various factors determine the amount and timing of our share repurchases, including our capital requirements, organic growth and other strategic opportunities, economic and market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), and regulatory and legal considerations. See Part II, Item 2, of this report for information regarding recent repurchase activity and our remaining authority under the program. Liquidity Liquidity management is the process used by the Company to manage the continuing flow of funds necessary to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost while also maintaining safe and sound operations. Liquidity, represented by cash and investment securities, is a product of the Company’s operating, investing and financing activities. The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities, maturing loans and investment securities, access to wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. While scheduled payments and maturities of loans and investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Therefore, the Company supplements deposit growth and enhances interest rate risk management through borrowings and wholesale funding, which are generally advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and brokered deposits. The Company holds cash and investment securities that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations and meet its financial commitments. At June 30, 2022, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $633.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale and $31.6 million in loans held-for-sale that were generally available for its cash needs. The Company can also generate funds from wholesale funding sources and collateralized borrowings. At June 30, 2022, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $552.2 million from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit. 61 The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its common shareholders and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary sources of funds are cash maintained at the holding company level and dividends from the Bank, the payment of which is subject to regulatory limits. At June 30, 2022, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $44.3 million in cash generally available for its cash needs, which is in excess of its current annual regular shareholder dividend and operating expenses. The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing financial commitments, including withdrawals by depositors, credit commitments to borrowers, operating expenses and capital expenditures. At June 30, 2022, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, amounted to $349.2 million. Certificates of deposits and brokered deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2022 totaled $594.1 million. Management is not aware of any other events or regulatory requirements that, if implemented, are likely to have a material effect on either the Company’s or the Bank’s liquidity. 62 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures, specifically tangible common equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, average tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity, total interest income - FTE, adjusted total interest income - FTE, net interest income - FTE, adjusted net interest income, adjusted net interest income - FTE, net interest margin - FTE, adjusted net interest margin, adjusted net interest margin - FTE, provision (benefit) for loan losses, excluding tax refund advance loans, average loans, excluding tax refund advance loans, net (recoveries) charge-offs to average loans, excluding tax refund advance loans, loans, excluding PPP loans, allowance for loan losses to loans, excluding PPP loans, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax provision, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted effective income tax rate, income before income taxes, excluding tax refund advance loans, income tax provision, excluding tax refund advance loans, and net income, excluding tax refund advance loans are used by the Company’s management to measure the strength of its capital and analyze profitability, including its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders. The Company also believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present total interest income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, as those measures provide useful information for peer comparisons. Although the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, they should not be considered a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the following table for the last five completed fiscal quarters and the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. 63 (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 September 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 June 30, 2022 June 30, 2021 Total equity -

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Refer to Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions to extend credit, interest rate swap agreements and forms of commitments that may be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. Interest rate swaps are arranged to receive hedge accounting treatment and are classified as either fair value or cash flow hedges. Fair value hedges are purchased to convert certain fixed rate assets to floating rate. Cash flow hedges are used to convert certain variable rate liabilities into fixed rate liabilities.
