• GAAP net income of $73.1 million, or $1.52 per diluted share; net operating income of $76.4 million, or $1.59 per diluted share.

• Average loans increased 16.8% on a linked-quarter, annualized basis.
• Average deposits grew $1.3 billion to $24.1 billion compared to the second quarter of 2020.
• GAAP book value per share increased 13.8% to $59.43, and tangible book value per share increased 14.5% to $55.19, compared to a year ago.
• Credit quality remained strong, with net charge-offs of just 0.13% of average loans.

“Our strong third quarter results were driven by several factors. Despite unprecedented circumstances, average loans, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) balances, increased 9.7% on a linked-quarter annualized basis and we saw a 47.2% decrease in modified loan balances from the prior quarter. These were modifications designed during the height of the crisis to assist our customers and provide financial relief,” said Mariner Kemper, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “In addition, we saw a 23.5% year-over-year increase in pre-tax, pre-provision income. We had year-over-year double-digit growth on both sides of our balance sheet and launched a successful inaugural subordinated debt issuance at an attractive yield, which further bolsters our capital position. And finally, as disclosed in our SEC filing on October 19, our fourth quarter is off to a great start with expected gains from our investment in Tattooed Chef, Inc.”
