1 Taxable-equivalent rates used where applicable.
Net interest income increased $6 million, or 1%, in the second quarter of 2024, relative to the prior year period, as higher earning asset yields were partially offset by higher funding costs. The net interest margin was 2.98%, compared with 2.92%.
The yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.31% in the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 50 basis points, reflecting higher interest rates and a favorable mix change to higher yielding assets. The yield on average loans and leases increased 46 basis points to 6.11%, and the yield on average securities increased 34 basis points to 2.90% in the second quarter of 2024.
The rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was 2.36%, compared with 1.88% in the prior year quarter, and the cost of total deposits was 2.11%, compared with 1.27%, reflecting the higher interest rate environment as well as reduced noninterest-bearing deposits.
Average interest-earning assets decreased slightly by $0.4 billion from the prior year quarter, as growth of $1.6 billion in average loans and leases and $0.2 billion in average money market investments, was more than offset by a decline of $2.2 billion in average securities. The decrease in average securities was primarily due to principal reductions.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $3.4 billion, or 7%, from the prior year quarter, driven by an increase of $9.2 billion in average interest-bearing deposits, primarily due to customer deposit growth as well as customers moving from noninterest-bearing to interest-bearing products in response to the higher interest rate environment. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $5.8 billion in average borrowed funds.

Customer-related noninterest income decreased $8 million, or 5%, compared with the prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by declines in capital markets fees, including loan syndications, swaps, and other related fees.
Net securities gains increased $4 million in the current period, primarily due to valuation adjustments in our SBIC investment portfolio. This increase was offset by a decrease of $4 million in dividends and other income, largely due to higher gains in the prior year period associated with the sale of bank-owned property and higher dividends on FHLB stock. During the current quarter, dividends and other income benefited from a $9 million gain on the sale of our Enterprise Retirement Solutions business and a $4 million gain on the sale of a bank-owned property.

Total noninterest expense remained relatively stable at $509 million. Technology, telecom, and information processing expense increased $8 million, or 14%, primarily due to increases in software amortization expenses associated with the replacement of our core loan and deposit banking systems, as well as other related application software, license, and maintenance expenses. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $6 million, or 2%, primarily due to $13 million in severance expense during the prior year period and a decrease in base salaries during the current quarter.
Adjusted noninterest expense increased $12 million, or 2%. The efficiency ratio was 64.5%, compared with 62.5%, primarily due to the increase in adjusted noninterest expense and a decrease in adjusted taxable-equivalent revenue. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, see pages 16-17.

Total investment securities decreased $2.0 billion, or 9%, to $19.6 billion at June 30, 2024, due largely to AFS and HTM principal reductions.
We invest in securities to actively manage liquidity and interest rate risk and to generate interest income. We primarily own securities that can readily provide us cash and liquidity through secured borrowing agreements without the need to sell the securities. Our fixed-rate securities portfolio helps balance the inherent interest rate mismatch between loans and deposits and protects the economic value of shareholders' equity. At June 30, 2024, the estimated duration of our securities portfolio, which measures price sensitivity to interest rate changes, remained flat at 3.7 percent, relative to the prior year period.

Unfunded lending commitments decreased $1.4 billion, or 5%, to $29.1 billion, primarily due to draws on existing commercial and consumer construction lending commitments.

During the second quarter of 2024, we recorded a $5 million provision for credit losses, compared with a $46 million provision during the prior year period. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $726 million at June 30, 2024, compared with $711 million at June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase in the ACL primarily reflects declines in credit quality, incremental reserves associated with portfolio-specific risks including commercial real estate, and loan growth, partially offset by improvements in economic forecasts and changes in our loan portfolio composition. The ratio of ACL to total loans and leases was 1.24% at June 30, 2024, compared with 1.25% at June 30, 2023.
Net loan and lease charge-offs totaled $15 million, compared with $13 million in the prior year quarter. Classified loans totaled $1.3 billion, or 2.16%, compared with $768 million, or 1.35%, of total loans and leases, and nonperforming assets were $265 million, or 0.45%, compared with $164 million, or 0.29%, of total loans and leases. The increases in classified loans and nonperforming assets were primarily due to a small number of loans in the commercial and industrial and term commercial real estate portfolios.

Total deposits decreased $553 million, or 1%, from the prior year quarter, as a $3.9 billion decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was partially offset by a $3.4 billion increase in interest-bearing deposits. At June 30, 2024, customer deposits (excluding brokered deposits) totaled $69.5 billion, compared with $65.9 billion at June 30, 2023, and included approximately $7.3 billion and $3.4 billion of reciprocal deposits, respectively. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 79%, compared with 77% in the prior year quarter.
Total borrowed funds, consisting primarily of secured borrowings, increased $146 million, or 2%, from the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in security repurchase agreements.

The common stock dividend was $0.41 per share, unchanged from the second quarter of 2023. Common shares outstanding decreased 0.5 million from the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to common stock repurchases in the first quarter of 2024.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) was a loss of $2.5 billion at June 30, 2024, and largely reflects a decline in the fair value of fixed-rate available-for-sale securities as a result of changes in interest rates. Absent any sales or credit impairment of these securities, the unrealized losses will not be recognized in earnings. We do not intend to sell any securities with unrealized losses. Although changes in AOCI are reflected in shareholders’ equity, they are excluded from regulatory capital, and therefore do not impact our regulatory capital ratios.
Estimated common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital was $7.1 billion, an increase of 5%, compared with $6.7 billion in the prior year period. The estimated CET1 capital ratio was 10.6%, compared with 10.0%. Tangible book value per common share increased to $30.67, compared with $25.52, primarily due to an increase in retained earnings and an improvement in AOCI due largely to paydowns on securities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)
This press release presents non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. We consider these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance and financial position. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors to assess our performance on the same basis as that applied by our management and the financial services industry.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and are not necessarily comparable to similar financial measures that may be presented by other financial services companies. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.
Tangible Common Equity and Related Measures
Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our use of shareholders’ equity and provide a basis for evaluating the performance of a business more consistently, whether acquired or developed internally.

Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue
The efficiency ratio is a measure of operating expense relative to revenue. We believe the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. We make adjustments to exclude certain items that are not generally expected to recur frequently, as identified in the subsequent schedule, which we believe allows for more consistent comparability across periods. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how we are managing our expenses. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue enables management and others to assess our ability to generate capital. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows us to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.
