Notable Items for Third Quarter 2022
Net interest margin, excluding the benefit from acquired loan discount accretion and PPP loan yield, increased 0.41% to 3.98%
Efficiency ratio improved to 49.6%, largely as a result of revenue growth as non-interest expenses, excluding merger related costs, were relatively unchanged as compared with the prior quarter
Organic loan growth (excluding PPP) for the quarter of $216.7 million or 14.2% annualized, with continued strength in credit quality
Quarterly pre-tax pre-provision net revenues grew to $55.3 million, as compared to $45.2 million inclusive of $2.2 million in merger expenses in the trailing quarter, and $37.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year inclusive of $0.6 million in merger expenses
"Despite the potential for increasing volatility in interest rates and the general economy, the core franchise value of Tri Counties Bank, being anchored in our credit culture and low costs of funds, continues to drive our financial performance," noted Rick Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer. Peter Wiese, EVP and Chief Financial Officer added, "Non-interest bearing deposits increased by nearly $74 million during the quarter and, to date during the current rising rate cycle, we have been able to maintain a low deposit Beta. Looking forward, we anticipate deposit Betas will be further pressured due to continued rate increases by the Federal Reserve. These rate increases could also decrease loan pipelines as borrowers reconsider the impact of higher rates on proposed projects."

Total loans outstanding, excluding PPP, grew to $6.31 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 33.3% over the prior twelve months, of which 17.4% was related to organic loan growth. Investments increased to $2.67 billion as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 14.4% annualized over the prior twelve months. Quarterly average earning assets to quarterly total average assets were generally unchanged at 92.0% at September 30, 2022, as compared to 92.2% and 92.9% at June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. The loan to deposit ratio was 72.9% at September 30, 2022, as compared to 69.8% and 67.5% at June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively.
Total shareholders' equity decreased by $51,839,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as a result of an increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses of $76,740,000, share repurchases totaling approximately $2,059,000 and cash dividend payments on common stock of $10,004,000, partially offset by net income of $37,338,000. As a result, the Company’s book value was $29.71 per share at September 30, 2022 as compared to $31.25 and $33.05 at June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company’s tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity and dividing that sum by total shares outstanding, was $19.92 per share at September 30, 2022, as compared to $21.41 and $25.16 at June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Organic loan growth, excluding PPP, of $216,681,000 or 14.2% on an annualized basis was realized during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, primarily within commercial real estate. During the quarter, and exclusive of PPP balance changes, loan originations/draws totaled approximately $737.0 million while payoffs/repayments of loans totaled $536.0 million, which compares to origination/draws and payoff/repayments activity during the three months ended June 30, 2022 of $697.0 million and $397.0 million, respectively. While management believes that loan pipelines remain sufficient to support loan growth, loan pipeline activity may moderate as customer awareness of the rising interest rate environment weighs more heavily on their decision making criteria. Investment security balances decreased $134,670,000 or 19.2% on an annualized basis as the result of declines in market values grew, and prepayments or maturities from the portfolio were utilized to augment the Company's overall balance sheet position. Deposit balances also decreased, with a change of $101,006,000 or 4.6% annualized during the period. These deposit balance changes are partially the result of approximately $51.6 million in FDIC insured money market account balances being placed with partner institutions.
