Balanced Growth
The Company grew loans (HFI) by $64.3 million to $4.41 billion during the fourth quarter of 2019, or 5.87% annualized, while average loans (HFI) increased 7.14% annualized from last quarter. Year over year loan growth was 20.2%, or 10.0% organically. Contractual loan yields decreased from 5.50% in the third quarter to 5.27% in the fourth quarter, reflecting the impact of the lower interest rate environment.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company grew deposits to $4.93 billion, despite a $104.1 million decrease in mortgage escrow and wholesale/other deposits. The Company reduced its cost of deposits to 1.02% from 1.11% in the third quarter of 2019. Loans (HFI) to deposits increased to 89.4% this quarter from 88.3% last quarter.
The Company’s net interest income for the quarter was $57.7 million, representing a decrease from $58.3 million last quarter and an increase from $51.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company’s net interest margin (“NIM”) was 4.12% for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to 4.28% and 4.50% for the third quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively. Accretion related to purchased loans and nonaccrual interest contributed 21 basis points to the NIM in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 16 and 17 basis points for the third quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively. Overall, the NIM for the fourth quarter of 2019 was impacted by a 26 basis point decline in the yield on interest-earning assets offset by a 12 basis point decline in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities over last quarter.
James R. Gordon, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our margin declined as expected given the rate cuts in the third and fourth quarters. We believe the margin will stabilize over the first half of 2020 and are optimistic that we could see the margin begin to expand in the second half of 2020 as we opportunistically reprice deposits.”
Noninterest Income Benefits from Interest Rate Environment
During the quarter, the Company produced unseasonably strong results from the mortgage business driven by the lower interest rate environment. Noninterest income was $35.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $38.1 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $27.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. Mortgage banking income was $26.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $19.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018.

2019 Fourth Quarter Results
Page 3
Interest rate lock commitment volume totaled $1.08 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $1.64 billion in the third quarter of 2019 and $1.31 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company’s total mortgage pre-tax direct contribution was $3.0 million. This compares to the $5.4 million contribution, excluding mortgage restructuring expense of $0.1 million, in the third quarter of 2019 and a loss of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Holmes commented, “Our mortgage operations are benefiting from the current interest rate environment and the strategic restructuring of the origination channels in the first half of 2019. We are comfortable with the operations at these levels and look forward to 2020.”
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expense was $62.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $62.9 million for the third quarter of 2019 and $53.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, noninterest expense was $62.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $62.5 million for the third quarter of 2019.
Gordon noted, “Noninterest expenses reflect our disciplined and thoughtful approach as we continue balancing profitability with investing in our teams and infrastructure.”
Asset Quality
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million, reflecting loan growth, renewals of previously acquired loans, and net charge-offs of 0.30% of average loans. The Company's nonperforming assets increased at December 31, 2019 to 0.77% of total assets compared to 0.62% at September 30, 2019. Nonperforming loans were 0.60% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2019, compared to 0.47% at September 30, 2019.
Holmes commented, “During the quarter we experienced charge-offs of $3.6 million, largely related to a single credit that accounted for $2.6 million of the total. The remaining balance of the credit of $1.6 million was placed on nonaccrual, contributing to an increase in the balance of nonaccrual loans. The credit referenced is an isolated occurrence related to specific events with a single borrower. The underlying credit trends of our loan portfolio remain strong and we continue to see overall strengths in our markets.”
Capital Well Positioned
“Our earnings continue to provide capital for growth and the capability to continue our dividend strategy. Our current level of tangible common equity at 9.7% of tangible assets and our simple capital structure of common equity and minimal trust preferred securities, positions us well and gives us multiple capital options to take advantage of future opportunities. We remain focused on delivering strong equity returns with a 15.4% adjusted return on average tangible common equity this year, driving a 8.99% increase in tangible book value per share from last year to $18.55 at year end,” commented Gordon.
Summary
Holmes further commented, “Our results reflect the hard work of our team in balancing growth and profitability during a quarter that saw interest rates decrease. We are proud of our team and our results and look forward to a prosperous 2020.”

GAAP RECONCILIATION AND USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This Earnings Release contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures include, without limitation, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, core revenue, core noninterest expense and core noninterest income, core efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), Banking segment core efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), Mortgage segment core efficiency ratio (tax equivalent basis), adjusted mortgage contribution, adjusted return on average assets and equity and core total revenue. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes certain income and expense items that the Company’s management considers to be non-core/adjusted in nature. The Company refers to these non-GAAP measures as adjusted measures. The corresponding Supplemental Financial Information and Earnings Release Presentation also presents tangible assets, tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, return on tangible common equity, return on average tangible common equity and adjusted return on average tangible common equity. Each of these non-GAAP metrics excludes the impact of goodwill and other intangibles.

2019 Fourth Quarter Results
Page 6
The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations as management believes such measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide meaningful indications of its operating performance as they eliminate both gains and charges that management views as non-recurring or not indicative of operating performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant non-core gains and charges in the current and prior periods. The Company’s management also believes that investors find these non-GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding the Company’s underlying operating performance and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other intangibles, and the other items excluded each vary extensively from company to company, the Company believes that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s results to the results of other companies. However, the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. Investors should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their financial measures similar or with names similar to the non-GAAP financial measures the Company has discussed herein when comparing such non-GAAP financial measures. See the “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the corresponding non-GAAP reconciliation tables in the Supplemental Financial Information as well as “Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures” and the Appendix in the Earnings Release Presentation issued January 21, 2020, for a discussion and reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
