Income Statement and Key Ratios

Highlights

Strong Revenue Growth

Total revenues were $535.1 million for the quarter, up 17.5% compared to last year's second quarter.

Continued Net Interest Income Growth

Net interest income was $441.6 million for the quarter, up 17.7% compared to last year's second quarter, resulting primarily from growth in average earning assets.

Net Interest Margin

The Bank's net interest margin was 3.21% for the second quarter, compared to 3.20% for the prior quarter. 

The core net interest margin was 3.16% for the quarter, compared to 3.14% for the prior quarter.  The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to lower average cash balances. (2)

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $93.5 million for the quarter, up 16.5% compared to the second quarter a year ago, which was primarily from increased wealth management revenues.

Efficiency Ratio

The Bank's efficiency ratio was 59.8% for the quarter, compared to 61.4% for the prior quarter and 57.8% for the second quarter a year ago.

Noninterest expense was $320.1 million for the quarter, up 21.7% from the second quarter of last year.  The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and benefits from the continued expansion of the franchise, along with growth across all areas of the Bank.

Income Tax Rate (1)

In accordance with the amendments to ASC 718, which the Bank adopted effective January 1, 2016, the effective tax rate for the quarter is inclusive of excess tax benefits recognized during the period.  As a result, such excess tax benefits reduced the Bank's effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 to 17.8%, from 24.5%.  See "Adoption of Amendments to ASC 718" for additional information.

__________

(1) On March 30, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued amendments to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, "Compensation—Stock Compensation," which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based compensation.  This guidance is effective January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted.  During the second quarter of 2016, the Bank elected to adopt this guidance, with such guidance retroactively effective as of January 1, 2016.  See "Adoption of Amendments to ASC 718" for additional information.(2) Core net interest margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the positive impact of purchase accounting and also the one-time special dividend from the FHLB in the second quarter of 2015.  See non-GAAP reconciliation under section "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Related to the Bank's re-establishment as an independent institution.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the prevailing practices in the banking industry.  Due to the application of purchase accounting from the Bank's re-establishment as an independent institution, management has historically used certain non-GAAP (i.e., core) measures and ratios that excluded the impact of these net positive purchase accounting items to evaluate our performance, including net income, earnings per share, revenues, yield on average loans, cost of average deposits, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio.  However, because of the diminishing impact of these positive purchase accounting items, beginning in 2016, only the yield on average loans and net interest margin continue to be presented on a non-GAAP, or core, basis.  

The accretion and amortization of the fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting from the Bank's re-establishment as an independent institution affect our net interest margin and yield on average loans as we accrete loan discounts to interest income and amortize premiums on CDs to interest expense.  

In addition, in the second quarter of 2015, the Bank received a one-time special dividend of $9.1 million from the FHLB.  Management has also excluded the positive impact of this item from the non-GAAP net interest margin.

We believe these two non-GAAP measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance.  Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing our operating results and related trends.  However, these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, the measurements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  In the tables below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure:

Adoption of Amendments to ASC 718

The Bank adopted the amendments to ASC 718, retroactively effective as of January 1, 2016.  Previously, excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise or vesting of share-based awards were recorded directly to additional paid-in capital.  Under this new guidance, such excess tax benefits are recorded as a reduction in provision for income taxes in the quarter of exercise or vesting, rather than increasing additional paid-in capital.  In addition, this guidance increases average diluted shares, since the Bank no longer includes such excess tax benefits in the calculation of diluted shares.  For the first quarter of 2016, adoption of this guidance reduced the provision for income taxes by $8.6 million of excess tax benefits, resulting in a positive impact of $0.05 per diluted earnings per share.  This new accounting guidance does not change the Bank's total equity, book value per share, or regulatory capital ratios.

The following table presents the impact of the adoption of the new accounting guidance to our previously reported financial results:
