See non-GAAP reconciliations below. In announcing these results, Chief Executive Officer Tim Laney shared, “We finished the year with strong momentum delivering fourth quarter earnings of $0.74 per diluted share and record full year earnings of $3.01 per diluted share. For the second consecutive quarter, our team delivered record loan originations. We delivered annualized loan growth of 13.4% in the fourth quarter, excluding PPP loans. Our credit metrics remain solid with just three basis points of net charge-offs for the year and a record low non-performing loans ratio of 0.24%. We have carried our momentum into the new year, and we are well positioned to execute on our growth strategies with ample liquidity and a strong capital position.”
Mr. Laney added, “We will continue to focus on growing our core business while also innovating and building the partnerships that will help us deliver a comprehensive digital financial ecosystem for our clients. By reducing costs and providing real-time information for our small and medium sized businesses, we have an opportunity to reduce their stress and save them precious time that they can devote to executing their business strategies.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Results
(All comparisons refer to the third quarter of 2021, except as noted)Net income totaled $22.8 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, an increase of $2.9 million or 14.8% over the third quarter. The return on average tangible assets increased sixteen basis points to 1.30%, and the return on average tangible common equity increased 172 basis points to 12.37%.
Net Interest Income
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $50.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.9 million. Excluding Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan fee income of $1.8 million, which was $0.7 million lower than last quarter, net interest income increased $2.6 million or 22.5% annualized. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin widened 10 basis points to 3.03% driven by excess cash liquidity being deployed into higher yielding originated loans. The yield on earnings assets increased nine basis points, with the cost of deposits decreasing three basis points to a record low 0.18%.Loans
Total loans ended the quarter at $4.5 billion, an increase of $91.6 million over the prior quarter. Excluding PPP loans, total loans increased $146.7 million or 13.4% annualized, led by commercial loan growth of $150.2 million or 19.9% annualized. For the second consecutive quarter, we generated record quarterly loan originations totaling $475.4 million, led by commercial loan originations of $370.9 million.Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded $0.1 million of provision expense, compared to zero loan loss provision last quarter. The quarter’s provision was driven by loan growth partially offset by strong asset quality and an improved outlook in the CECL model’s underlying economic forecast. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 0.02% consistent with the prior quarter. Non-performing loans (comprised of non-accrual loans and non-accrual TDRs) improved five basis points to a record low 0.24% of total loans, and non-performing assets remained consistent at 0.39% of total loans and OREO. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans totaled 1.10%, compared to 1.11% at September 30, 2021.Deposits
Average total deposits increased $28.4 million or 1.8% annualized, to $6.2 billion for the fourth quarter 2021. Average transaction deposits (defined as total deposits less time deposits) increased $80.6 million or 6.1% annualized. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits improved 90 basis points to 86.6% at December 31, 2021. The loan to deposit ratio increased 39 basis points to 72.5%.Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $23.2 million, a decrease of $5.3 million largely driven by lower mortgage banking income. Included in other non-interest income were $2.0 million of unrealized gains from equity method investments. Included in the quarter was $1.1 million of banking center consolidation-related income, compared to $1.2 million in the prior quarter.Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense totaled $44.5 million, a decrease of $6.8 million from the prior quarter. Salaries and benefits decreased $2.6 million largely due to lower mortgage-related compensation. Included in the prior quarter were $2.4 million of transaction-related expenses for the strategic investment in Finstro Global Holdings Inc. and Figure Technologies. The fully taxable equivalent efficiency ratio improved to 59.7% at December 31, 2021, compared to 65.9% at September 30, 2021.Income tax expense totaled $5.3 million during the fourth quarter, compared to $5.0 million. Included in income tax expense was $0.2 million of benefit from stock compensation activity during the fourth quarter. Adjusting for stock compensation activity, the effective tax rate was 19.8%, compared to 20.0% in the prior quarter. The lower rate compared to the statutory rate reflects the continued success of our tax strategies and tax-exempt income.
Capital
Capital ratios continue to be strong and in excess of federal bank regulatory agency “well capitalized” thresholds. The Tier 1 leverage ratios at December 31, 2021 for the consolidated company and NBH Bank were 10.39% and 9.09%, respectively. Shareholders’ equity totaled $840.1 million at December 31, 2021, decreasing $4.6 million primarily due to higher accumulated other comprehensive loss.Common book value per share increased $0.15 to $28.04 at December 31, 2021. Tangible common book value per share increased $0.13 to $24.33 at December 31, 2021 driven by the quarter’s earnings, net of dividends paid and share repurchases. Excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, the tangible book value per share increased $0.32 to $24.56 at December 31, 2021.
Recent Events
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption and is likely to continue to present challenges to our business. We continue to remain committed to ensuring our associates, clients and communities are receiving the support they need through our banking centers and our digital banking platform. Our teams have been working diligently to support our clients who are experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 through participation in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program, including assistance with PPP loan forgiveness applications, and loan modifications, as needed. While access to vaccines in the United States has increased, the efficacy of those vaccines, the impact of emerging targeted vaccine mandates and new variants of the virus, and the length of time that the government-mandated measures must remain in place or potentially be reinstituted to address COVID-19 are unknown. The pandemic has had a negative impact to the U.S. labor market, consumer spending and business operations, and it is not clear how long new outbreaks of COVID-19 cases will have a continued impact.Year-Over-Year Review
(All comparisons refer to the full year 2020, except as noted)Net income totaled a record $93.6 million, or $3.01 per diluted share, an increase of $5.0 million or 5.7% over the prior year. The return on average tangible assets was 1.37% compared to 1.44% in the prior year, and the return on average tangible common equity was 12.87%, compared to 13.27%.
Fully taxable equivalent net interest income totaled $192.3 million, decreasing $5.7 million or 2.9%, as a result of interest rate actions taken by the Federal Reserve during 2020. Average earning assets increased $725.4 million, or 12.5%, primarily driven by increases in average interest bearing cash balances of $544.9 million and average investment securities of $404.3 million. The fully taxable equivalent net interest margin narrowed 47 basis points to 2.95% due to lower earning asset yields. The yield on earning assets decreased 69 basis points, driven by the remix of assets into lower-yielding cash balances. The cost of deposits decreased 22 basis points to 0.23%.
Loans outstanding totaled $4.5 billion, increasing $159.7 million or 3.7%. Excluding PPP loans, total loans increased $314.1 million or 7.5%, led by commercial loan growth of $272.8 million, or 9.5%. New loan originations over the trailing 12 months totaled a record $1.5 billion, led by commercial loan originations of $1.1 billion including PPP loan originations of $121.1 million.
The Company recorded $9.3 million of net provision release during 2021, compared to $17.6 million of provision expense in the prior year. The provision release was driven by strong asset quality and an improved outlook in the CECL model’s underlying economic forecast. Net charge-offs totaled 0.03% of total loans, compared to 0.06% of total loans in the prior year. Non-performing loans to total loans improved 23 basis points to 0.24%, compared to 0.47% at December 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses totaled 1.10% of total loans, compared to 1.37% at December 31, 2020.

Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $857.2 million or 57.2%, and average transaction deposits increased $898.5 million, or 21.2%. The mix of transaction deposits to total deposits increased by 400 basis points to 86.6%, and the mix of non-interest bearing demand deposits to total deposits improved 305 basis points to 40.2% at December 31, 2021.
Non-interest income totaled $110.4 million, a decrease of $29.9 million or 21.3%, driven by $39.0 million lower mortgage banking income due to slower refinance activity in 2021 and competition driving tighter gain on sale margins. Bank card fees increased $2.2 million. Other non-interest income increased $2.9 million due to unrealized gains from equity method investments. Included in 2021 was $4.6 million of banking center consolidation-related income, compared to $0.3 million in 2020.
Non-interest expense totaled $191.8 million, a decrease of $14.3 million or 7.0%, driven by lower mortgage-related compensation as well as the Company’s strategic efforts to improve operating efficiency. Included in 2021 were $2.5 million of transaction-related professional fees for the previously announced investments in our digital financial ecosystem. Salaries and benefits decreased $13.7 million primarily due to lower mortgage banking related compensation. Occupancy and equipment decreased $2.2 million largely due to efficiencies gained from banking center consolidations. Problem asset workout expense decreased $1.1 million, and gain on sale of OREO increased $0.4 million.
Income tax expense totaled $21.4 million, an increase of $0.6 million, driven by 2021’s higher pre-tax income. Included in income tax expense was $0.6 million of tax benefit and $0.1 million of tax expense from stock compensation activity during 2021 and 2020, respectively. Adjusting for stock compensation activity, the effective tax rate for 2021 was 19.1%, compared to 19.0% for 2020.

Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common book value per share,” “tangible common book value, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax,” “tangible common book value per share, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” and “fully taxable equivalent” metrics, are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.
