For the six months ended December 31, 2019, net income was a record $82.1 million, an increase of 8.5% over net income of $75.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2018. Earnings attributable to Axos’ common stockholders were $81.9 million or $1.32 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of 10.0% from $75.5 million or $1.20 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2018. Record earnings for the fiscal second quarter and for the six months ended December 31, 2019 were primarily the result of growth in the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio.
“We achieved net income of $41.3 million this quarter as a result of strong loan growth and stable net interest margins,” stated Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axos. “Ending loan balances increased 14.6% annualized from September 30, 2019, led by strong growth in commercial specialty real estate, commercial lender finance, mortgage warehouse and equipment leasing. Net interest margin increased 10 basis points linked quarter to 3.87% as a result of steady loan yields and a decline in our funding costs. The diversity of our lending, deposit and fee income businesses position us well in a variety of competitive and interest rate environments.”
“We continue to make investments across each of our consumer, commercial and securities businesses while maintaining a relatively stable efficiency ratio,” stated Andy Micheletti, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Axos. “Our banking business efficiency ratio was 43.81% this quarter, relatively flat compared to 43.93% in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, Axos earned $41.2 million or $0.67 per diluted share compared to $38.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. Net interest income increased $15.7 million or 16.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018, primarily due to $1.6 billion growth in average-earning assets at the Bank and the acquisition of the Securities Business.
The loan and lease loss provision was $4.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 compared to $5.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. The decrease in the provision is primarily the result of changes in the mix of the loan and lease portfolio. A charge-off of $4.1 million this quarter had no impact on loss provisions this quarter. Discussed last quarter, the $4.1 million was receivables factoring for one bank customer which was classified doubtful and fully reserved in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
For the second quarter ended December 31, 2019, non-interest income was $21.2 million compared to $16.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The $4.3 million increase year over year was primarily the result of the addition of broker-dealer fee income of $5.6 million due to our acquisitions and a $1.4 million increase in mortgage banking, partially offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in banking and service fees, primarily due to lower fee income from third-party banks of Axos Fiduciary Services as more deposits have been transferred to Axos Bank.
Non-interest expense or operating costs increased $16.0 million to $67.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 from $50.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly a result of an increase in salaries and related expense of $4.8 million due to staffing additions from the acquisition of the Securities Business and to support growth in the Bank’s operations. Other operating expense increases include an increase of $2.5 million in data processing due to additions from the acquisitions of the Securities Business, software initiatives and enhancements to the Bank’s core processing system, a $2.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to amortization of intangibles, a $1.9 million increase in broker-dealer clearing charges, and a $2.0 million increase in other general and administrative expenses.
Balance Sheet Summary
Axos’ total assets increased $1,049.1 million, or 9.3%, to $12,269.3 million, as of December 31, 2019, up from $11,220.2 million at June 30, 2019. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase in loan portfolio growth of $759.3 million on a net basis, primarily from portfolio loan originations of $2,896.9 million less principal repayments and other adjustments of $2,137.6 million. Customer, broker-dealer, and clearing receivables increased by $41.2 million. Investment securities decreased $17.7 million primarily due to repayments of available-for-sale securities. Total liabilities increased by $961.3 million, or 9.5%, to $11,108.5 million at December 31, 2019, up from $10,147.2 million at June 30, 2019. The increase in total liabilities primarily resulted from an increase in deposits of $1,131.2 million, partially offset by a $201.0 million decrease in advances from the FHLB. Stockholders’ equity increased by $87.7 million, or 8.2%, to $1,160.8 million at December 31, 2019 from $1,073.1 million at June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily the result of $82.1 million in net income, $6.0 million of vesting and issuance of RSUs and stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by $0.2 million of dividends declared on preferred stock.
The Bank’s Tier 1 core capital to adjusted average assets ratio was 9.16% at December 31, 2019.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per common share, and tangible book value per common share. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their use of such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.
We define net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring acquisition-related costs (including amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions), and excess FDIC expense, and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges), as “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure. Excess FDIC expense is defined as the higher insurance costs associated with increased levels of short-term brokered deposits in anticipation of the acquisition of deposits from Nationwide Bank. Adjusted earnings per diluted common share (“adjusted EPS”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS provide useful information about the Bank’s operating performance. Excluding the non-recurring acquisition related costs, excessive FDIC expense, and other costs provides investors with an understanding of Axos’ business without these non-recurring costs.
Below is a reconciliation of net income to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for the periods shown:

We define book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets as tangible book value (“tangible book value”), a non-GAAP financial measure. Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus mortgage servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses.
