Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $100.8 million and net interest margin was 3.51% compared to $103.4 million and 3.69%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $2.6 million decrease in net interest income before provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $7.1 million increase in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits, a $5.2 million increase in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), a $3.1 million increase in transaction and savings deposits driven by an increase in funding costs on deposits, and an $822 thousand decrease in interest income on debt securities. The decrease was partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in loan yields and average balances and a $2.0 million increase in interest income on deposits in financial institutions and fed funds sold during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net interest margin decreased 18 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the increase in funding costs on deposits and FHLB borrowing costs during three months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in loan yields and average balances.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $16.4 million, or 19.4%. The increase was primarily due to a $81.5 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in average balances and loan yields and a $6.8 million increase in deposits in financial institutions and fed funds sold, partially offset by a $28.9 million increase in transaction and savings deposits, a $26.6 million increase in certificates and other time deposits and a $16.4 million increase in advances from FHLB driven by an increase in funding costs. Net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 3.42% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the increase in average balances and loan yields during the three months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in funding costs.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $13.7 million, an increase of $161 thousand, or 1.2%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in equity method investment income and a loss on sales of investment securities in the first quarter of 2023 of $5.3 million. The increase was partially offset by a $5.5 million decrease in government guaranteed loan income primarily driven by a decrease in USDA loans sold.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $3.3 million, or 31.9%. The increase was primarily due to a $3.4 million increase in government guaranteed loan income, primarily driven by an increase in USDA loans sold through NAC and a $1.6 million increase in other noninterest income. The increase was partially offset by a $865 thousand decrease in loan fees driven by a $562 thousand decrease in syndication fees, a $481 thousand decrease in equity method investment income, and a decrease of $360 thousand in customer swap income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $57.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $56.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $582 thousand, or 1.0%. The increase was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC assessment fees that increased when the Company crossed $10 billion in total assets, an increase of $848 thousand in marketing expense, and a $777 thousand increase in other noninterest expense. The increase is partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits.

Compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $9.0 million, or 18.8%. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.0 million increase in professional and regulatory fees driven by FDIC assessment fees that increased when the Company crossed $10 billion in total assets, a $1.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $1.7 million increase in other noninterest expenses, a $1.3 million increase in data processing and software expenses and a $331 thousand increase in occupancy and equipment expenses.

Financial Condition

Total LHI was $9.71 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $16.0 million, or 0.7% annualized, compared to March 31, 2023. The increase was the result of the continued execution, and success of our loan growth strategy, including our continued investment in talent.

Total deposits were $9.23 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $199.2 million, or 8.8% annualized, compared to March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of an increase of $98.2 million in interest-bearing deposits, an increase of $32.1 million in certificates and other time deposits, an increase of $21.7 million in non-interest bearing deposits, and an increase of $47.1 million in correspondent money market account balances. As of June 30, 2023, uninsured deposits were 33.26% of total deposits compared to 38.92% as of March 31, 2023.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets totaled $68.3 million, or 0.55% of total assets, at June 30, 2023, compared to $44.5 million, or 0.35% of total assets, at March 31, 2023. The Company had net charge-offs of $11.5 million for the quarter.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a $9.4 million provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and a $9.0 million provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The recorded provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily attributable to an increase in general reserves as a result of changes in economic factors and loan growth. The Company recorded a benefit for unfunded commitments of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a $1.5 million provision for unfunded commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and no provision for unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The recorded benefit for unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, was attributable to a decrease in unfunded commitment balances partially offset by changes in economic factors. Allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) as a percentage of LHI was 1.05%, 1.02% and 0.94% at June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We identify certain financial measures discussed in this earnings release as being “non-GAAP financial measures.” In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non-GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included or excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time in the United States (“GAAP”), in our statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and other statistical measures or ratios calculated using exclusively either one or both of (i) financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and (ii) operating measures or other measures that are not non-GAAP financial measures.

The non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non-GAAP financial measures that we present in this earnings release may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other financial institutions calculate their financial measures that appear to be similar or have similar names to the non-GAAP financial measures we have discussed in this earnings release when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures.

Tangible Book Value Per Common Share. Tangible book value is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (b) tangible book value per common share as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by number of common shares outstanding. For tangible book value per common share, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is book value per common share.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per common share exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing our tangible book value.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, total stockholders’ equity to tangible common equity and presents our tangible book value per common share compared with our book value per common share:

Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets. Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) tangible common equity as total stockholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; (b) tangible assets as total assets less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) tangible common equity to tangible assets as tangible common equity (as described in clause (a)) divided by tangible assets (as described in clause (b)). For tangible common equity to tangible assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is total stockholders’ equity to total assets.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the relative changes from period to period in common equity and total assets, in each case, exclusive of changes in core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets have the effect of increasing both total stockholders’ equity and assets while not increasing our tangible common equity or tangible assets.

Return on Average Tangible Common Equity. Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP measure generally used by financial analysts and investment bankers to evaluate financial institutions. We calculate: (a) net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles (which we refer to as “return”) as net income, plus amortization of core deposit intangibles, less tax benefit at the statutory rate; (b) average tangible common equity as total average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization; and (c) return (as described in clause (a)) divided by average tangible common equity (as described in clause (b)). For return on average tangible common equity, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is return on average equity.

We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the return on common equity, exclusive of the impact of core deposit intangibles. Goodwill and core deposit intangibles have the effect of increasing total stockholders’ equity while not increasing our tangible common equity. This measure is particularly relevant to acquisitive institutions that may have higher balances in goodwill and core deposit intangibles than non-acquisitive institutions.

The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, average tangible common equity to average common equity and net income available for common stockholders adjusted for amortization of core deposit intangibles, net of taxes to net income and presents our return on average tangible common equity:

VERITEX HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Operating Earnings, Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings and performance metrics calculated using Operating Earnings and Pre-tax, Pre-provision Operating Earnings, including Diluted Operating Earnings per Share, Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Assets, Pre-tax, Pre-Provision Operating Return on Average Loans, Operating Return on Average Tangible Common Equity and Operating Efficiency Ratio. Operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings and the performance metrics calculated using these metrics, listed below, are non-GAAP measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. We calculate (a) operating earnings as net income plus severance payments, plus loss on sale of debt securities AFS, net, less tax impact of adjustments, plus nonrecurring tax adjustments. We calculate (b) diluted operating earnings per share as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. We calculate (c) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as operating earnings as described in clause (a) plus provision for income taxes, plus provision (benefit) for credit losses and unfunded commitments. We calculate (d) pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets as pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (e) operating return on average assets as operating earnings as described in clause (a) divided by total average assets. We calculate (f) operating return on average tangible common equity as operating earnings as described in clause (a), adjusted for the amortization of intangibles and tax benefit at the statutory rate, divided by total average tangible common equity (average stockholders’ equity less average goodwill and average core deposit intangibles, net of accumulated amortization). We calculate (g) operating efficiency ratio as noninterest expense plus adjustments to operating noninterest expense divided by noninterest income plus adjustments to operating noninterest income, plus net interest income.

We believe that these measures and the operating metrics calculated utilizing these measures are important to management and many investors in the marketplace who are interested in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers.

The following tables reconcile, as of the dates set forth below, operating net income and pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings and related metrics:
