Overview
First Internet Bancorp is a financial holding company headquartered in Fishers, Indiana that conducts its primary business activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Internet Bank of Indiana, an Indiana chartered bank. The Bank was the first state-chartered, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured Internet bank and commenced banking operations in 1999. First Internet Bancorp 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 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 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
48
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 differentiate ourselves from larger financial institutions by providing a full suite of services to emerging small businesses and entrepreneurs on a nationwide basis. We are one of the fastest-growing lenders in the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) program, closing more than $155.4 million in SBA 7(a) loans during 2022 and ranking in the top 30 SBA 7(a) lenders for the SBA’s 2022 fiscal year. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we closed more than $73.5 million in SBA 7(a) loans, ranking in the top 10 SBA 7(a) lenders for 2023. We also offer a top-ranked small business checking account product to our country’s entrepreneurs. We continue to scale up this business with the goal of driving increased earnings and profitability in future periods.
We also offer payment, deposit, card and lending products and services through fintech partnerships, which we plan to grow in future periods. 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.
As of March 31, 2023, the Company had consolidated assets of $4.7 billion, consolidated deposits of $3.6 billion and stockholders’ equity of $355.6 million.

Results of Operations
During the first quarter 2023, there was a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.33 diluted loss per share, compared to first quarter 2022 net income of $11.2 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, representing a decrease in net income of $14.2 million, or 126.9%, and a decrease in diluted earnings per share of $1.47, or 129.0%.
The $14.2 million decrease in net income for the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022 was due primarily to an increase of $8.6 million, or 1,090.3%, in provision for credit losses, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 24.0%, in net interest income, an increase of $2.2 million, or 11.6%, in noninterest expense and a decrease of $1.4 million, or 20.1%, in noninterest income, partially offset by a decrease of $4.1 million, or 230.3%, in income tax expense.
Due to the steep decline in consumer mortgage volumes and the negative outlook for consumer mortgage lending over the next several years, the Company decided to exit its consumer mortgage business during the first quarter 2023. This included its nationwide digital direct-to-consumer mortgage platform that originated residential loans for sale in the secondary market, as well as its local traditional consumer mortgage and construction-to-permanent business. In connection with this decision, the Company recognized $3.1 million of mortgage operations and exit costs during the first quarter 2023, which primarily drove the increase in noninterest expense compared to the first quarter 2022.
The Company also recognized $0.1 million of mortgage banking revenue during the first quarter 2023, down from $1.8 million in the first quarter 2022, as it immediately began winding down its existing pipeline following the decision to exit the business.
Additionally during the first quarter 2023, the Company recognized a partial charge-off of $6.9 million related to a commercial and industrial participation loan with a balance of $9.8 million, prior to the partial charge-off, that was moved to nonaccrual status late in the quarter. This action contributed to the increase in the provision for credit losses as compared to first quarter 2022. The Company expects that it will receive payment for the remaining balance of the participation loan during May 2023.
During the first quarter 2023, return on average assets (“ROAA”), return on average shareholders’ equity (“ROAE”), and return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) were (0.26%), (3.37%), and (3.41%), respectively, compared to 1.08%, 11.94%, and 12.09%, respectively, for the first quarter 2022.
Excluding the impact of exiting consumer mortgage and the partial charge-off, adjusted net income for the first quarter 2023 was $4.8 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.53. Additionally, for the first quarter 2023, adjusted ROAA, adjusted ROAE and adjusted ROATCE were 0.43%, 5.36% and 5.44%, respectively.
During the first quarter 2022, the Company had a nonrecurring consulting fee associated with a special project of $0.9 million, as well as acquisition-related expenses of $0.2 million. Excluding these items, adjusted net income for the first quarter 2022 was $12.0 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share was $1.22. Additionally, for the first quarter 2022, adjusted ROAA, adjusted ROAE and adjusted ROATCE were 1.16%, 12.82% and 12.98%, respectively.

3 On an FTE basis assuming a 21% tax rate. 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.

Increase (decrease) in net interest income $ 1,540 $ (3,635) $ (2,095) $ 3,417 $ (9,593) $ (6,176)
Net interest income for the first quarter 2023 was $19.6 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 24.0%, compared to $25.8 million for the first quarter 2022. The decrease in net interest income was the result of a $22.2 million, or 215.6%, increase in total interest expense to $32.5 million for the first quarter 2023 from $10.3 million for the first quarter 2022, partially offset by a $16.0 million, or 44.4%, increase in total interest income to $52.0 million for the first quarter 2023 from $36.0 million for the first quarter 2022.
The increase in total interest income for the first quarter 2023 compared to first quarter 2022 was due primarily to a $10.7 million, or 32.1%, increase in interest earned on loans, $3.4 million, or 906.9%, increase in income from other earning assets and a $1.9 million, or 78.3%, increase in interest earned on securities. The increase in income from loans was due primarily to a 44 bp increase in the yield earned on loans, as well as an increase of $607.2 million, or 20.4%, in the average balance of loans compared to the first quarter 2022. The yield earned on other earning assets increased 430 bps, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of other earning assets of $124.7 million, or 27.3%. The decrease in the average balance of other earning assets was due primarily to lower cash balances. The average balance of securities decreased $63.5 million, or 9.8%, while the yield earned on the securities portfolio increased 151 bps for the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022. The increase in the yields earned on loans, other earning assets and securities was due to the rise in interest rates throughout 2022 that continued during the first quarter 2023. The yield on funded portfolio originations was 7.76% in the first quarter 2023, an increase of 292 bps compared to the first quarter 2022.
52
The increase in total interest expense for the first quarter 2023 compared to the first quarter 2022 was due primarily to increases of $10.8 million, or 718.4%, in interest expense associated with money market accounts, $9.7 million, or 235.9%, in interest expense associated with certificates and brokered deposits and $0.5 million, or 118.5%, in interest expense associated with interest-bearing demand deposits. Additionally, the Company had a full quarter of Banking-as-a-Service (“BaaS”) deposits in 2023, which increased interest expense by $0.1 million. The increase in interest expense related to money market accounts was driven primarily by an increase of 320 bps in the cost of these deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of these deposits of $76.8 million, or 5.3%. The increase in interest expense related to certificates and brokered deposits was driven by an increase of 205 bps in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase of $421.5 million, or 34.4%, in the average balance of these deposits. The increase in the average balance of these deposits was driven by strong certificates of deposit production in the first quarter 2023, as the Company took advantage of consumer and small business demand and pulled forward budgeted growth to build liquidity at rates beneficial to projected Federal Funds rates. The increase in interest expense related to interest-bearing demand deposits was due primarily to a 57 bp increase in the cost of these deposits, as well as an increase of $15.4 million, or 4.8%, in the average balance of these deposits. The increase in the overall cost of deposits was due primarily to the rise in interest rates throughout 2022 that continued during the first quarter 2023. Beginning in March 2022, the Federal Reserve has increased the Fed Funds rate 4.75% through March 31, 2023, which has impacted pricing of the Company’s deposit products.
Overall, the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter 2023 increased 206 bps to 3.19% from 1.13% for the first quarter 2022. The increase in the cost of funds for the first quarter 2023 reflects the rapid rise in interest rates throughout 2022 that continued into 2023.
Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 1.76% for the first quarter 2023 compared to 2.56% for the first quarter 2022, a decrease of 80 bps. On a fully-taxable equivalent (“FTE”) basis, NIM was 1.89% for the first quarter 2023 compared to 2.69% for the first quarter 2022, a decrease of 80 bps. The decrease in first quarter 2023 NIM and FTE NIM compared to the first quarter 2022 reflects the increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by the increase in earning asset yields noted above.

During the first quarter 2023, noninterest income was $5.4 million, representing a decrease of $1.4 million, or 20.1%, compared to $6.8 million for the first quarter 2022. The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to decreases in revenue from mortgage banking activities and other noninterest income, partially offset by increases in gain on sale of loans, loan servicing revenue and loan servicing asset revaluation. The decline in mortgage banking revenue was due to the Company only recording $0.1 million of revenue, as it immediately began winding down its existing pipeline following the decision to exit mortgage in the first quarter 2023. The decrease in other noninterest income is due primarily to a distribution from the Company’s investment in a Small Business Investment Company fund that occurred during the first quarter 2022. The increase in loan servicing revenue was due to growth in the balance of the Company’s SBA 7(a) servicing portfolio. The increase in loan servicing asset revaluation was due to slower prepayment speeds in the first quarter 2023 compared to first quarter 2022. The increase in gain on sale of loans was due to the gain on sale of U.S. Small Business Administration guaranteed loans, which increased due to higher volume of loans sales, as well as higher net premiums.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter 2023 was $21.0 million, compared to $18.8 million for the first quarter 2022. The increase of $2.2 million, or 11.6%, was due primarily to increases of $1.9 million, or 19.41%, in salaries and employee benefits, $0.4 million, or 25%, in loan expenses, $0.3 million, or 93.2%, in deposit insurance premium, and $0.2 million, or 46.8%, in data processing, partially offset by decrease of $1.0 million, or 51.9% in consulting and professional fees. The increases in salaries and employee benefits and loan expenses were due primarily to mortgage exit costs, such as severance, and other employee-related expenses, as well as accrued contract expenses. The increase in deposit insurance premium was due to mainly to asset growth, as well as the composition of loans and deposits. The increase in data processing was due primarily to implementation fees associated with small business technology initiatives. The decrease in consulting and professional fees was due primarily to consulting fees related to a special project that occurred in the first quarter 2022.
The Company recorded an income tax benefit for the first quarter 2023, compared to an income tax provision of $1.8 million for the first quarter 2022 and an effective tax rate of 13.8%.

Total shareholders’ equity 355,572 364,974 360,857 365,332 374,655
Total assets increased $178.2 million, or 3.9%, to $4.7 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $4.5 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase was due primarily to increases in loan, cash and securities balances, and was funded by growth in deposit balances of $181.0 million, or 5.3%.
As of March 31, 2023, total shareholders’ equity was $355.6 million, a decrease of $9.4 million, or 2.6%, compared to December 31, 2022. The decrease in retained earnings was due primarily to stock repurchase activity, the day 1 CECL adjustment and the net loss during the quarter, partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Tangible common equity totaled $350.9 million as of March 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $9.4 million, or 2.6%, compared to December 31, 2022. The ratio of total shareholders’ equity to total assets decreased to 7.53% as of March 31, 2023 from 8.03% as of December 31, 2022, and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets decreased to 7.44% as of March 31, 2023 from 7.94% as of December 31, 2022.
54
Book value per common share decreased 1.2% to $39.76 as of March 31, 2023 from $40.26 as of December 31, 2022. Tangible book value per share decreased 1.3% to $39.23 as of March 31, 2023 from $39.74 as of December 31, 2022. The slight 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, partially offset by the effect of stock repurchase activity during the quarter.

1 Includes carrying value adjustments of $31.5 million, $32.5 million, $33.9 million, $35.4 million and $36.4 million related to terminated interest rate swaps associated with public finance loans as of March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
2 Beginning January 1, 2023, the allowance calculation is based on the CECL methodology. Prior to January 1, 2023, the allowance calculation was based on the incurred loss methodology.
Total loans were $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $107.8 million, or 3.1%, compared to December 31, 2022. Total commercial loan balances were $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2023, up $86.5 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 2022. Total consumer loan balances were $756.4 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $23.1 million, or 3.2%, compared to December 31, 2022. Compared to December 31, 2022, the increase in commercial loan balances was driven by growth in franchise finance, single tenant lease financing and small business lending, as well as combined growth in investor commercial real estate and construction balances. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in public finance, as well as continued runoff in healthcare finance. The increase in consumer loans was due to higher balances in the recreational vehicles and trailers loan portfolios, in addition to funded residential mortgages that were in the pipeline prior to exiting the business.

Total nonperforming loans increased $1.7 million, or 22.5%, to $9.2 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $7.5 million as of December 31, 2022 due primarily to a commercial and industrial participation loan that was placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter, partially offset by upgrades and payoffs in owner-occupied commercial real estate and small business loans. Total nonperforming assets increased $1.8 million, or 23.4%, to $9.3 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $7.6 million as of December 31, 2022, due primarily to the nonperforming loan activity discussed above, as well as an increase in OREO. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had one residential mortgage property in OREO with a carrying value of $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not own any OREO.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $36.9 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $31.7 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in the ACL reflects the day one current expected credit losses (“CECL”) adjustment of $3.0 million, as well as overall growth in the loan portfolio and changes in certain economic forecasts that impacted quantitative factors for certain portfolios. The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 1.02% at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.91%, at December 31, 2022. The ACL as a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased to 400.0% as of March 31, 2023, compared to 426.0% as of December 31, 2022.
Net charge-offs of $7.2 million were recognized during the first quarter 2023, resulting in net charge-offs to average loans of 0.82%, compared to net charge-offs to average loans of 0.05% for the first quarter 2022. The increase in net charge-
58
offs was due mainly to the $6.9 million partial charge-off of a C&I participation loan that was placed on nonaccrual status during the quarter.
The provision for credit losses in the first quarter 2023 was $9.4 million, compared to $0.8 million for the first quarter 2022. The increase in provision for the first quarter 2023 was driven primarily by the partial charge-off of the C&I participation loan mentioned above, as well as growth in the loan portfolio and the impact of economic forecasts on certain portfolios.

The approximate fair value of available-for-sale investment securities increased $5.4 million, or 1.4%, to $395.8 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $390.4 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase was due primarily to increases of $3.2 million in U.S. Government-sponsored agencies, $1.7 million in agency mortgage-backed securities - residential and $1.4 million in municipal securities. The increases were due primarily to variable rate securities resetting higher, slower prepayment speeds and purchases in the portfolio.
Accrued Income and Other Assets
Accrued income and other assets increased $0.2 million, or 0.5%, to $45.1 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $44.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily related to an increase of $2.7 million in deferred tax assets and $1.2 million in fund investments, partially offset by decreases of $2.8 million in derivative assets and $0.9 million in prepaid assets.
Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $6.8 million, or 47.0%, to $21.3 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $14.5 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was due primarily to increases of $8.4 million in other accrued expenses, $2.5 million in unfunded commitments related to the day 1 CECL entry and $0.2 million in accrued property taxes, partially offset by decreases of $2.1 million in other liabilities, $1.6 million in accrued salary and benefits and $0.6 million in accrued taxes.

Total deposits increased $181.0 million, or 5.3%, to $3.6 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to $3.4 billion as of December 31, 2022. This increase was due primarily to increases of $295.6 million, or 33.8%, in certificates of deposits, $68.8 million, or 11.9% in brokered deposits, $16.0 million, or 4.8%, in interest-bearing demand deposits and $12.1 million, or 89.1% in BaaS - brokered deposits, partially offset by decreases of $164.6 million, or 11.6%, in money market accounts, $34.9 million, or 19.9%, in noninterest-bearing deposits and $12.1 million, or 26.9%, in savings accounts. The increase in certificates of deposits and brokered deposits was due primarily to strong consumer and small business demand during the quarter that allowed the Company to pull forward origination activity planned for later in the year. The decrease in money market accounts was due primarily to certain customer activity that can be periodically volatile, as well as some outflow of uninsured deposits late in the quarter. The decline in noninterest-bearing deposits was due primarily to drawdowns from commercial real estate development and construction clients contributing to equity projects the Company is financing. The decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits was due to normal activity associated with a municipal deposit relationship.
Uninsured deposit balances represented 26.2% of total deposits at March 31, 2023, down from 33.1% at December 31, 2022. These balances include Indiana-based municipal deposits, which are insured by the Indiana Board for Depositories, as well as larger balance collateralized public funds and accounts under contractual agreements that only allow withdrawal under certain conditions. After subtracting these types of deposits, the adjusted uninsured deposit balance decreases to 19.2%, down from 24.2% as of December 31, 2022.

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”).
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.
61
The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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.
As permitted by the federal banking regulatory agencies, the Company has elected the option to delay the impact of the day one adoption of ASC 326. The transition adjustments of $4.5 million will be phased into the regulatory capital calculations over a three-year period, with 25% of the adjustment recognized in 2023, 50% of the adjustment recognized in 2024, 75% of the adjustment recognized in 2025 and 100% of the adjustment recognized in 2026.

Shareholders’ Dividends
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock payable April 17, 2023 to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2023, 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.
In October 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $30.0 million, which was subsequently increased to $35.0 million, of our outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase authorization was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2022. Under this program, the Company repurchased 855,956 shares of common stock through December 19, 2022, at an average price of $36.31, for a total investment of $31.1 million.
In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company’s outstanding stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2023, and replaces the stock repurchase program mentioned above. Under this program, the Company has repurchased 266,188 shares of common stock through May 5, 2023, at an average price of $22.35, for a total investment of $5.9 million.
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 and brokered deposits.
63
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 March 31, 2023, on a consolidated basis, the Company had $699.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale and $18.1 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 March 31, 2023, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $627.7 million from the FHLB, the Federal Reserve and correspondent bank Fed Funds lines of credit, which when combined with cash balances, totaled $931.7 million and represented 134.1% of adjusted uninsured deposit balances.
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 March 31, 2023, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $14.0 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 March 31, 2023, approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit, amounted to $501.7 million. Certificates of deposits and brokered deposits scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2023 totaled $936.2 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.

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, net interest income - FTE, net interest margin - FTE, adjusted total revenue, adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted income tax (benefit) provision, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders’ equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies or estimates from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 1 Basis of Presentation for further details.
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. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $260.0 million. Additionally, we enter into forward contracts related to our mortgage banking business to hedge the exposures we have from commitments to extend new residential mortgage loans to our customers and from our mortgage loans held-for-sale. At March 31, 2023, the company did not have any commitments to sell residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments to sell residential real estate loans of $17.0 million. These contracts mature in less than one year. Refer to Note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information about derivative financial instruments.
