Balance Sheet and Credit Quality
Total assets were $2.32 billion at June 30, 2022, $2.25 billion at March 31, 2022 and $2.07 billion at June 30, 2021. Asset growth from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022 was $250.5 million or 12.1%. During the second quarter of 2022, assets increased $66.8 million or 11.9% annualized. Asset growth was primarily comprised of loans and securities available for sale.
Total loans, net of unearned income, increased by 8.0% to $1.69 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.57 billion at June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, total loans, net of unearned income, at June 30, 2022 grew 13.7% to $1.69 billion as compared to $1.49 billion at June 30, 2021. The year-over-year increase in the loan portfolio is primarily attributable to growth in the investor real estate, residential mortgage, commercial owner-occupied real estate, and multi-family loan portfolios. At June 30, 2022, PPP loans, net of unearned income, totaled $216 thousand.
Total loans, net of unearned income, increased $61.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 or 15.1% annualized from $1.63 billion at March 31, 2022. Excluding PPP loans, total loans, net of unearned income, increased $68.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 or 17.0% annualized from March 31, 2022. The increase in loans was attributable to growth in the investor real estate, commercial owner-occupied, residential mortgage, and multi-family loan portfolios.
The Company’s portfolio of investments in fixed income securities was $467.4 million at June 30, 2022, $402.3 million at March 31, 2022, and $299.5 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in the fixed income securities portfolio was primarily driven by redeployment of PPP loan payoffs and deposit growth. All but $15.2 million of the fixed income portfolio is backed by the explicit or implicit guarantees of the United States Government or one of its agencies.
Total deposits were $2.04 billion at June 30, 2022, $1.98 billion at March 31, 2022 and $1.82 billion at June 30, 2021. Deposit growth was 12.6% during the past twelve months, as saving deposits grew 41.9%, interest-bearing demand deposits grew 25.6%, and non-interest bearing deposits grew 7.0%. Deposit growth was 8.6% during the past six months as interest-bearing demand deposits grew 16.5% and savings deposits grew 10.8%.
Total borrowings, defined as Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and subordinated debt, increased by 15.7% or $6.8 million to $49.6 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $42.8 million at March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the Company’s June 2022 issuance of a 5.25% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated note (“2022 note”) due in 2032 in the principal amount of $25.0 million. On July 15, 2022, the Company used the proceeds from the issuance to redeem the 5.75% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes (“2017 notes”) due 2027. The increase in total borrowings was partially offset by an $18.0 million decrease in FHLB advances due to the call of the Company’s outstanding FHLB advances during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Shareholders’ equity was $207.5 million at June 30, 2022, an increase of $12.3 million or 6.3% from June 30, 2021. This increase year-over-year was due to net income of $29.9 million and the exercise of stock options totaling $3.5 million, partially offset by reductions in accumulated other comprehensive income of $18.3 million and dividends paid of $2.8 million. Book value per share was $14.80 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $14.32 as of June 30, 2021. The change in book value per share year-over-year was due to earnings, partially offset by increases in unrealized losses on our available-for-sale investment portfolio as a result of rising interest rates, shareholder option exercises, restricted share award issuances, and dividends paid. The Bank’s capital ratios remain well above regulatory thresholds for well-capitalized banks. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.1%, compared to 15.0% at June 30, 2021.
