Net Interest Income
Interest income was $52.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 9% from the second quarter of 2021 and an increase of 11% from the previous quarter due to higher average loans outstanding and higher interest rates. Average earning assets totaled $5.4 billion for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $92 million or 2% from the same quarter in 2021. This decline in average earning assets was largely driven by a decrease of $210 million in average interest-bearing deposits in other banks, the impact of which was outweighed by the increase of $29 million in average loans and the associated loan yield increase.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $6.1 million, slightly lower than the second quarter of 2021 and 32% higher than the previous quarter. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased to $3.4 billion in the second quarter of 2022, a 13% decrease from the same prior year period. The cost of funds increased from the previous quarter to 0.50%, compared to 0.39% for the first quarter of 2022, driven by the higher interest rate environment.
Net interest income totaled $46.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, which was 8% higher than the first quarter of 2022, and 10% higher than the second quarter of 2021. Tax-equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.52% in the current quarter from 3.29% in the previous quarter and 3.14% in the second quarter of 2021. The tax-equivalent adjustment, which accounts for income taxes saved on the interest earned on non-taxable securities and loans, was $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2022.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income decreased $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 or 28% compared to the same quarter of 2021 and decreased $0.7 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in non-interest income compared to the previous quarter was due to a $1.1 million decrease in credit card fees and $0.1 million decrease in swap fee income, partly offset by a $0.3 million increase in letter of credit fees and $0.1 million increase in service charge income. The decrease in non-interest income compared to the same quarter of 2021, was primarily due to $1.8 million in income from bank-owned life insurance proceeds received last year.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $29.2 million, which increased 13% compared to the second quarter of 2021 and increased 6% from the first quarter of 2022. Salaries and benefit costs were lower in the current quarter by $0.8 million compared to the prior quarter. Furthermore, professional fees increased $0.3 million and data processing expenses increased $0.3 million, partly offset by a slight decrease in software and communication expenses. Compared to the same quarter in the prior year, salaries and benefit costs were $1.4 million higher mainly due to increased hiring for market expansion and increased incentive expenses. Additionally, software and communication expenses increased $0.2 million, and data processing expenses increased $0.4 million, offset by a $0.7 million decrease in foreclosed assets. The other non-interest expense increase for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to increases in travel and meeting expenses and employee separation expense of $1.1 million.
CrossFirst’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 21%, as compared to 17% for the second quarter of 2021 and 20% in the first quarter of 2022. The 4% effective tax rate increase compared to the same quarter in the prior year was primarily due to the $1.8 million in income from bank-owned life insurance proceeds received last year, which was not subject to tax. For both comparable periods, the Company continued to benefit from its tax-exempt municipal bond portfolio and bank-owned life insurance. The tax-exempt benefit diminishes as the Company’s ratio of taxable income to tax-exempt income increases.
Balance Sheet Performance & Analysis
During the second quarter of 2022, total assets increased by $190 million or 3% compared to March 31, 2022, and increased $397 million or 7% compared to June 30, 2021. Total assets increased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to a $179 million increase in loans. The year-over-year increase was due to increases in loans of $310 million and cash and cash equivalents of $57 million. Non-interest-bearing deposits increased $53 million compared to March 31, 2022, and increased $345 million from June 30, 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, available-for-sale investment securities decreased $27 million to $696 million compared to March 31, 2022 primarily due to unrealized losses from interest rate increases. The securities yields increased 7 basis points to a tax equivalent yield of 3.07% for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter.
Loan Results
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company produced an increase in average loans of $105 million compared to the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $29 million or 1% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The linked quarter increase in average loans was primarily a result of growth in the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. Net of PPP loans, average loans grew 3% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Loan yields increased 28 basis points to 4.28% during the second quarter of 2022 and increased 29 basis points compared to the same prior year quarter.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company experienced a decrease in average deposits of 2% compared to the previous quarter, and a 4% decline in average deposits compared to the second quarter of 2021. The deposit reduction for the quarter was driven by decreases in transaction deposits and time deposits. As a result of the increasing interest rate environment, the Company had an increase of 11 basis points in the overall cost of deposits during the second quarter of 2022, and the cost of interest-bearing deposits has increased 6 basis points over the last twelve months.

Asset Quality Position
Non-performing assets decreased to $30.8 million due to a $5.4 million decrease in non-accrual loans. The decline is attributable to decreases in non-accrual commercial and industrial and energy loans. The non-performing assets to total assets ratio decreased from 1.09% at June 30, 2021 to 0.54% at June 30, 2022. Classified loans increased slightly during the second quarter due to some grade changes in the commercial and industrial portfolio, but remained in an acceptable range at 12.1% of total capital plus the allowance for credit losses.
The allowance for credit losses was $56 million or 1.23% of outstanding loans and 202% of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2022. The combined allowance for credit losses and accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk from unfunded commitments (“RUC”) was $61 million or 1.35% of outstanding loans and 221% of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2022.
The allowance for credit losses to total loans decreased to 1.23% at June 30, 2022 from 1.27% at March 31, 2022. The improvements in credit metrics compared to June 30, 2021 were primarily driven by upgrades in COVID-19 impacted segments and the Energy portfolio. Net charge-offs were $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 and were consistent with the prior quarter. The charge-offs for the current quarter were primarily related to commercial and industrial and energy credits. The following table provides information regarding asset quality.

At June 30, 2022, stockholders' equity totaled $608 million, or $12.27 per share, compared to $668 million, or $13.23 per share, at December 31, 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, CrossFirst continued its share repurchase program by purchasing 237,993 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) declined by $71 million between December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022; driven by a $74 million decrease in the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, net of tax.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures in this release. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release reflect industry conventions, or standard measures within the industry, and provide useful information to the Company's management, investors and other parties interested in the Company's operating performance. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have defined below each of the non-GAAP measures we use in this release, but these measures may not be synonymous to similar measurement terms used by other companies.CrossFirst provides reconciliations (unaudited) of these non-GAAP measures below. The measures used in this release include the following:
- We calculate ‘‘non-GAAP core operating income’’ as net income adjusted to remove non-core income and expense items related to:
- Acquisition costs - We incurred expenses in the second quarter of 2022 related to the announced acquisition of Central Bancorp, Inc.’s bank subsidiary, Farmers & Stockmens Bank.
- Employee separation - During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1.1 million expense related to employee separation.
- Charges and adjustments associated with the full vesting of a former executive - We incurred additional charges in the second quarter of 2021 related to the acceleration of $0.7 million of certain cash, stock-based compensation, and employee costs.
- Bank Owned Life Insurance - We obtain bank owned life insurance on key employees throughout the organization and received a $1.8 million benefit in the second quarter of 2021.
- Unrealized loss on equity security - During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $6.2 million impairment loss related to an equity investment that was received as part of a restructured loan agreement.
- Acquisition costs - We incurred expenses in the second quarter of 2022 related to the announced acquisition of Central Bancorp, Inc.’s bank subsidiary, Farmers & Stockmens Bank.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for non-GAAP core operating income is net income. Management believes that non-GAAP core operating income removes events that are not part of core business activities and are useful analytical tools for investors to compare periods excluding these non-core expenses and charges.
- We calculate "non-GAAP core return on average tangible common equity" as non-GAAP core operating income (as defined above) divided by average tangible common equity. Average tangible common equity is calculated as average common equity less average goodwill and intangibles and average preferred equity. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on average common equity. Management believes that non-GAAP core return on average tangible common equity removes events that are not part of core business activities and are useful analytical tools for investors to compare periods excluding these non-core expenses and charges.
- We calculate "non-GAAP core operating return on average assets" as non-GAAP core operating income (as defined above) divided by average assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is return on average assets, which is calculated as net income divided by average assets. Management believes that non-GAAP core operating return on average assets removes events that are not part of core business activities and are useful analytical tools for investors to compare periods excluding these non-core expenses and charges.
- We calculate "tangible common stockholders' equity" as total stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangibles and preferred equity. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is total stockholders' equity. Management believes that tangible stockholders’ equity is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in our stockholders’ equity, exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
- We calculate ‘‘tangible book value per share’’ as tangible common stockholders' equity (as defined above) divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is book value per share. Management believes that tangible book value per share is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in our stockholders’ equity, exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
- We calculate ‘‘non-GAAP loan growth, excluding PPP loans’’ as gross loans, net of unearned income subtracted by PPP loans, net of unearned income. Management believes that loan growth, excluding PPP loans is important to investors because it is a better representation of the overall loan portfolio activity when comparing between periods.
- We calculate "non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio - fully tax equivalent (FTE)" as non-interest expense adjusted to remove non-core, non-interest expenses as defined above under non-GAAP core operating income divided by net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis plus non-interest income adjusted to remove non-core, non-interest income as defined above under non-GAAP core operating income. The most directly comparable financial measure is the efficiency ratio. Management believes that the non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio is important to many investors because the ratio removes events that are not part of core business activities and is a useful analytical tool.
- We calculate "non-GAAP pre-tax pre-provision profit" as net income before taxes plus the provision for credit losses. Management believes that non-GAAP pre-tax pre-provision profit is important to many investors because the calculation removes the tax impact on the financials and gives investors insight into the operating income of the company.
