    MERGER WITH CIT GROUP INC.

    On October 15, 2020, BancShares entered into a definitive merger agreement with CIT Group Inc. (“CIT”) through which the companies plan to combine in an all-stock merger. The transaction has been approved by the shareholders of both companies and has received regulatory approval from the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Completion of the proposed merger remains subject to approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and closing is expected in the third quarter, subject to such approval and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    Net interest income was $346.4 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $9.0 million, or by 2.7% compared to the same quarter in 2020. This was primarily due to lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, an increase in interest and fee income on SBA-PPP loans, and organic loan growth, partially offset by a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets. SBA-PPP loans contributed $27.2 million in interest and fee income for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $19.0 million for the same quarter in 2020. Net interest income increased $6.7 million, or by 2.0% compared to the linked quarter primarily due to higher investment portfolio balance and yield. The taxable-equivalent NIM was 2.68% during the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 46 basis points from 3.14% for the comparable quarter in 2020. The margin decline was primarily due to changes in earning asset mix and a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and the yield on SBA-PPP loans. The taxable-equivalent NIM declined 12 basis points from 2.80% for the linked quarter primarily due to changes in earning asset mix.

    Net interest income was $686.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $10.3 million, or by 1.5% compared to the same period in 2020. This was primarily due to lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, an increase in interest and fee income on SBA-PPP loans, and organic loan growth, partially offset by a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets. SBA-PPP loans contributed $58.1 million in interest and fee income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 2020. The taxable-equivalent NIM was 2.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of 59 basis points from 3.33% for the comparable period in 2020. The margin decline was primarily due to changes in earning asset mix and a decline in the yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and the yield on SBA-PPP loans.

    PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

    Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $19.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to $20.6 million in expense for the same quarter in 2020. The second quarter of 2021 was favorably impacted by $21.6 million in reserve release driven primarily by continued strong credit performance, low net charge-offs, and improvement in macroeconomic factors. The comparable quarter in 2020 included $14.6 million in reserve build related to uncertainties surrounding COVID-19. Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2021 were $2.0 million, a decrease from $7.4 million for the comparable quarter in 2020 due to a lower volume of charge-offs and stable recoveries. The net charge-off ratio was 0.02% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 0.09% for the same quarter in 2020. Excluding the impact of SBA-PPP loans on average loan balances, the net charge-off ratio was 0.03% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 0.10% for the same quarter in 2020.

    Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $30.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $48.9 million in expense for the same period in 2020. The six months ended June 30, 2021, was favorably impacted by $35.2 million in reserve release driven primarily by continued strong credit performance, low net charge-offs, and improvement in macroeconomic factors. The comparable period in 2020 included $36.1 million in reserve build related to uncertainties surrounding COVID-19. Total net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2021, were $4.6 million, a decrease from $14.9 million for the comparable period in 2020 due to a lower volume of charge-offs and stable recoveries. The net charge-off ratio was 0.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 0.10% for the same period in 2020. The impact of SBA-PPP loans on average loan balances did not have an impact on the net charge-off ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

    NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest income was $134.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of $31.3 million, or by 18.9% compared to $165.4 million for the same quarter in 2020. The primary driver of the decrease was a $52.9 million decline in fair market value adjustments on marketable equity securities. Fair market value adjustments on marketable equity securities were heightened in the second quarter of 2020 as BancShares built up its equity portfolio when the market contracted. As the market started to improve in the second quarter of 2020, BancShares sold a large portion of it to realize the gains. Additionally, there was a $3.9 million decrease in mortgage income due to a decline in gain on sale driven by interest rate movements. These decreases were partially offset by a $9.4 million increase in wealth management services due to increases in annuity fees, assets under management, and advisory and transaction fees, a $4.9 million increase in cardholder services income, net, a $4.4 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, and a $3.2 million increase in merchant services income, net. Excluding fair market value adjustments on marketable equity securities and realized gains on available for sale securities, noninterest income was $106.7 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $19.6 million, or by 22.5% compared to $87.1 million for the same quarter in 2020.

    Noninterest income was $270.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $41.4 million, or by 18.0% compared to $229.4 million for the same period in 2020. The primary drivers of the increase were a $15.2 million increase in wealth management services due to increases in annuity fees, assets under management, and advisory and transaction fees, a $14.5 million increase in fair market value adjustments on marketable equity securities, a $6.7 million increase in cardholder services income, net, and a $6.2 million increase in merchant services income, net, and a $3.9 million increase in mortgage income. These increases were partially offset by an $8.5 million decrease in realized gains on available for sale securities. Excluding fair market value adjustments on marketable equity securities and realized gains on available for sale securities, noninterest income was $218.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $35.4 million, or by 19.4% compared to $182.7 million for the same period in 2020.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Noninterest expense was $301.6 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of $9.9 million, or by 3.4% compared to the same quarter in 2020. The primary drivers of the increase were a $7.0 million increase in salaries and wages due to an increase in payroll incentives and a $4.9 million increase in employee benefits due to higher health insurance claims.

    Noninterest expense was $597.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $5.9 million, or by 1.0% compared to the same period in 2020. The primary drivers of the increase were a $9.6 million increase in salaries and wages due to an increase in payroll incentives, a $7.5 million increase in processing fees paid to third parties as we continue to make investments in our digital and technological capabilities, and a $4.0 million increase in merger-related expense associated with the pending merger with CIT. These increases were partially offset by a $14.4 million decrease in other expense due to a decrease in other pension expense and a $5.6 million decrease in collection and foreclosure-related expenses.

    INCOME TAXES

    The effective tax rate was 23.1% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 19.3% for the same quarter in 2020. The effective tax rate was 23.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 20.3% for the same period in 2020.

    The effective tax rates for the prior year were favorably impacted by BancShares’ decision to utilize an allowable alternative for computing its 2020 federal income tax liability. The allowable alternative provided BancShares the ability to use the federal income tax rate for certain deductible amounts related to FDIC-assisted acquisitions that was applicable when these amounts were originally subject to tax.

    LOANS AND DEPOSITS

    At June 30, 2021, loans totaled $32.7 billion, a decrease of $102.3 million, or by 0.6% on an annualized basis since December 31, 2020. Excluding SBA-PPP loans, total loans increased $604.7 million, or by 3.7% on an annualized basis since December 31, 2020.

    At June 30, 2021, deposits totaled $48.4 billion, an increase of $5.0 billion, or by 23.1% on an annualized basis since December 31, 2020, driven by organic growth and the effects of government stimulus.

    ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (ACL)

    The ACL was $189.1 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $224.3 million at December 31, 2020. The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.58% at June 30, 2021, compared to 0.68% at December 31, 2020. The reduction was primarily due to $35.2 million in reserve release for the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven primarily by continued strong credit performance, low net charge-offs, and improvement in macroeconomic factors. Excluding SBA-PPP loans, which have no associated ACL, the ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.61% as of June 30, 2021, compared to 0.74% as of December 31, 2020.

    NONPERFORMING ASSETS

    Nonperforming assets, including nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, were $231.1 million, or 0.71% of total loans and other real estate owned at June 30, 2021, compared to $242.4 million or 0.74% at December 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of SBA-PPP loans on loan balances, the ratio of total nonperforming assets to total loans, leases, and other real estate owned was 0.74% as of June 30, 2021, compared to 0.80% at December 31, 2020.

    CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

    During the second quarter of 2021, BancShares did not repurchase any shares of Class A common stock compared to repurchases of 346,000 shares of Class A common stock for $127.0 million at an average cost per share of $367.03 for the comparable quarter in 2020.
