Q1 2022 Net Interest Margin (NIM) NIM negatively impacted by the lower interest rate environment, and a shift to a higher level of securities as a percentage of total assets As a result of higher cash balances from our customers’ higher personal savings, investment securities as of 3/31/2022 represented ~24% of total assets Reflecting the continued low interest rate environment, focused on controlling our various funding costs Reduced deposit funding costs 8bp year-over-year to 12bp for Q1 2022, or just 8bp when including non-interest bearing deposits When including continued reductions in FHLB and other borrowings, the costs of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 18bp year-over-year to 19bp FHLB borrowings reduced to $0.1 billion, with approximately 55% maturing during 2022 Note: commercial loan portfolio index mix excludes SBA PPP loans
Q1 2022 Non-Interest Income Trust fees and net securities brokerage revenue increased primarily from net organic growth Service charges on deposits and electronic banking fees were higher due to increased general consumer spending Bank-owned life insurance reflects higher death benefits of $1.9 million during Q1 2022 and the impact of new policies purchased during the third quarter of 2021 Mortgage banking income decreased due to holding more residential mortgages on the balance sheet and lower originations Q1 2022 mortgage originations totaled $271 million, with the amount retained increasing to ~75% Other income decreased due to lower loan swap-related income and associated fair value adjustments Note: OREO = other real estate owned
Q1 2022 Non-Interest Expense Salaries and wages year-over-year increased due to lower deferred loan origination costs and the impact of normal merit increases and the hourly wage increase implemented last year Salaries and wages were down sequentially due to the lower day count during Q1 2022 Employee benefits expense decreased due to market fluctuations on the deferred compensation plan, as well as lower pension and health insurance expense Equipment and software increased due primarily to the movement of online banking costs from other operating expenses Other operating expenses decreased due to the move of online banking costs, as well as a reduction in ACH and ATM processing charges related to a change in providers, in conjunction with our core banking software system conversion
