Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net interest income before provision for credit losses was $73.0 million and net interest margin was 3.22% compared to $76.7 million and 3.37%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The $3.7 million decrease in net interest income before provision for credit losses was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in interest income on loans driven by a decrease in average balances during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and recovery income recognized on fully paid off nonaccrual loans during the three months ended December 31, 2021, with no corresponding recovery income during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Further, this decrease was due to the recognition of $2.1 million of prepayment penalty income on debt securities during the three months ended December 31, 2021, with no corresponding prepayment penalty income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net interest income was slightly offset by a $359 thousand decrease in interest expense on subordinated debentures and subordinated notes and a $281 thousand decrease in interest expense on certificates and other time deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net interest margin decreased 15 basis points compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in yields earned on debt securities as a result of the recognition of $2.1 million of prepayment penalty income during three months ended December 31, 2021 with no corresponding prepayment penalty income during the three months ended March 31, 2022. There was no change in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the linked quarters.
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, net interest income before provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $7.4 million, or 11.3%. The increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in interest income on loans driven by an increase in average balances and a $1.7 million decrease in interest expenses on certificates and other time deposits. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 19 basis points to 0.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 0.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $15.1 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 6.5%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million in insurance income from BOLI and a decrease of $870 thousand in equity method investment income, offset by a $1.5 million increase in government guaranteed loan income, net.
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $925 thousand, or 6.5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in loan fees and an increase of $1.1 million in service charges and fees on deposit accounts, offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in government guaranteed loan income, net.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $46.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $45.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3.3%. This increase was primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily driven by (i) a $1.2 million increase in FICA taxes, (ii) a $960 thousand increase in stock-based compensation resulting from the vesting of February 1, 2019 performance restricted stock unit awards which vested at 150% due the Company performing at the top quartile of total shareholder return (as defined by the equity awards) and (iii) a $531 thousand increase in salaries as a result of our continued investment in talent which was slightly offset by a $333 thousand decrease in stock-based compensation associate with non-qualified stock options.
Compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $7.0 million, or 17.6%. The increase was primarily driven by a $4.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits as a result of a (i) $2.7 million increase in salaries resulting from continued investment in talent, (ii) a $960 thousand increase in stock-based compensation resulting from the vesting of February 1, 2019 performance restricted stock unit awards which vested at 150% due the Company performing at the top quartile of total shareholder return (as defined by the equity awards) and (iii) a $829 thousand increase in FICA taxes. The increase was also due to a $700 thousand increase in merger and acquisition expenses recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Financial Condition
Total LHI, excluding MW and PPP loans, were $7.1 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $359.4 million, or 21.2% annualized, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase was the result of the continued execution and success of our loan growth strategy.
Total deposits were $7.9 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $526.0 million, or 28.6% annualized, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of increases of $412.0 million in interest-bearing transaction and savings deposits and an increase of $255.2 million in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, offset by a decrease of $141.2 million in certificates and other time deposits.

Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets totaled $48.0 million, or 0.46% of total assets at March 31, 2022, compared to $50.1 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at December 31, 2021. The Company had net charge-offs of $4.8 million for the quarter, which were fully reserved against in prior quarters under our allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) model.
The Company recorded a benefit for credit losses of $500 thousand and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, compared to no provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The recorded benefit for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021, was primarily attributable to a decrease in specific reserves on certain nonaccrual loans slightly offset by an increase in general reserves as a result of continued loan growth. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we also recorded a $493 thousand provision for unfunded commitments, which was attributable to higher unfunded balances. ACL as a percentage of LHI, excluding MW and PPP loans, was 1.02%, 1.15% and 1.76% at March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.

Dividend Information

On April 26, 2022, Veritex’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on its outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend will be paid on or after May 27, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Veritex’s management uses certain non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its operating performance and provide information that is important to investors. However, non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, Veritex’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, Veritex reviews and reports tangible book value per common share, operating earnings, tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on average tangible common equity, pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, pre-tax, pre-provision operating return on average assets, diluted operating earnings per share, operating return on average assets, operating return on average tangible common equity and operating efficiency ratio. Veritex has included in this earnings release information related to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented. Please refer to “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” after the financial highlights at the end of this earnings release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

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:

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, 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 securities, net, less Thrive PPP loan forgiveness income, plus M&A expenses, 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 benefit (provision) 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 non interest expense plus adjustments to operating non interest expense divided by non interest income plus adjustments to operating non interest 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.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to Veritex Holdings, Inc.’s (“Veritex”) proposed acquisition of interLINK, including the expected timing of the completion of the acquisition, the ability to complete the acquisition, the ability to obtain any required regulatory or other approvals, authorizations or consents in connection with the acquisition, disruption from the acquisition making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers or other parties with whom Veritex or interLINK have business relationships, diversion of management time on acquisition-related issues, the reaction to the acquisition of the companies’ customers, employees and counterparties, any statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations, products or services arising from the acquisition, including integration plans, and the treatment of certain deposits via interLINK as not being brokered deposits for any supervisory purpose; the impact of certain changes in Veritex’s accounting policies, standards and interpretations; the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken in response thereto; and Veritex’s future financial performance, business and growth strategy, projected plans and objectives, as well as other projections based on macroeconomic and industry trends, which are inherently unreliable due to the multiple factors that impact broader economic and industry trends, and any such variations may be material. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “targets,” “outlooks,” “plans” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts, although not all forward-looking statements include the foregoing words. We refer you to the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Veritex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Veritex’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
