Second Quarter Earnings

Net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $19.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $14.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. The $5.4 million increase for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the preceding quarter was primarily driven by an $8.1 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in provision for loan losses, a $0.6 million loss on sales of securities, and a $2.0 million increase in income tax expense related to our increased pre-tax income.

Core net income excluding the effect of tax credits and accelerated depreciation from our solar investments (non-GAAP)1 for the second quarter of 2022 was $20.9 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $14.3 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022. Excluded from core net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.6 million of non-

interest income related to losses on sales of securities, $0.3 million of non-interest expenses related to the now-terminated acquisition of Amalgamated Bank of Chicago (“ABOC”), and $0.9 million of accelerated depreciation from our solar investments (recorded as equity method non-interest income). Excluded for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.2 million of non-interest income related to gains on the sale of securities, $0.4 million of non-interest expenses related to the aforementioned terminated acquisition, and $0.1 million of tax credits on solar investments in the first quarter of 2022. Presentation excluding the temporary effect of the tax credits and accelerated depreciation of solar investments reduces the financial statement volatility associated with these investments.

Net interest income was $56.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $48.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The $8.1 million increase from the preceding quarter mainly reflected higher interest income on securities and FHLB stock of $4.9 million driven by a $251.3 million increase in average securities and a 37 basis point increase in securities yield due to the rising interest rate environment. Loan interest income increased $2.6 million driven by a $224.1 million increase in average loan balances, offset by slightly higher interest expense on deposits driven by a $127.6 million increase in average interest bearing deposit balances.

Net interest margin was 3.03% for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of 27 basis points from 2.76% in the first quarter of 2022. The margin increase compared to the preceding quarter was driven by large increases on floating rate yields from interest-earning assets, while costs on interest-bearing liabilities remained flat. Prepayment penalties earned in loan income contributed two basis points to our net interest margin in the second quarter of 2022, compared to three basis points in the first quarter of 2022.

Provision for loan losses totaled an expense of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to an expense of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in the provision expense on a linked quarter basis is primarily driven by a specific reserve from the downgrade of one legacy commercial and industrial loan.

Core non-interest income excluding the effect of tax credits and accelerated depreciation from our solar investments was $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase of $1.5 million was primarily related to one-time beneficiary income on BOLI, as well as higher gains on sale of nonperforming commercial loans.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $34.3 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from the first quarter of 2022. The decrease of $0.1 million from the preceding quarter is primarily driven by a $0.9 million decrease to data processing mainly related to the pass-through of certain Trust Department operating expense to related funds, offset by an expected $0.4 million increase in compensation and employee benefits and a $0.4 million increase in residential lending foreclosure expense.

Our provision for income tax expense was $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase is based on a higher pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 25.9%, compared to 25.8% for the first quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary

Total assets were $7.9 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $7.7 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase of $0.2 billion was driven primarily by a $178.2 million increase in loans receivable net of deferred fees and costs and a $113.8 million increase in investment securities offset by a reduction in cash of $41.5 million. To reduce exposure to interest rate volatility we also transferred $277.3 million of available-for-sale securities to held-to-maturity, resulting in $12.3 million of tax effected other comprehensive losses which will accrete out of balance sheet equity over the duration of the transferred securities.

Total loans, net of deferred loan origination costs at June 30, 2022 were $3.6 billion, an increase of $178.2 million, or 5.1%, compared to March 31, 2022. The increase in loans is primarily driven by a $92.9 million increase in residential loans mainly from direct originations, a $39.8 million increase in multifamily loans, a $36.9 million increase in our consumer and other loans due to solar loan originations from existing flow arrangements, and a $19.2 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, offset by a $13.2 million decrease in the commercial real estate portfolio as we selectively de-risk our exposure in metropolitan areas. Our continued focus on credit quality improvement in the commercial portfolio resulted in $15.6 million of payoffs of criticized loans in addition to certain other pass grade loans.

Deposits at June 30, 2022 were $7.3 billion, an increase of $317.7 million, or 4.6%, as compared to $7.0 billion as of March 31, 2022. Deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $131.5 million on a linked quarter basis.

Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 54% of average deposits and 54% of ending deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, contributing to an average cost of deposits of eight basis points in the second quarter of 2022.

Nonperforming assets totaled $65.3 million, or 0.82% of period-end total assets at June 30, 2022, an increase of $4.2 million, compared with $61.1 million, or 0.80% of period-end total assets at March 31, 2022. The increase in non-performing assets was primarily driven by the restructuring of $6.5 million in loans that are part of one borrower relationship, as well as two loans totaling $5.2 million that were moved to nonaccrual in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by one $3.5 million nonaccrual multifamily loan that was paid off.

The allowance for loan losses increased $2.0 million to $39.5 million at June 30, 2022 from $37.5 million at March 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in loan balances, offset by improved credit quality. At June 30, 2022, we had $60.1 million of impaired loans for which there was a specific allowance of $6.1 million, compared to $58.2 million of impaired loans at March 31, 2022 for which there was a specific allowance of $4.6 million. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.08% at June 30, 2022 and 1.08% at March 31, 2022.

Capital Quarterly Summary

As of June 30, 2022, our Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 11.76%, Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 14.42%, and Tier-1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 7.08%, compared to 12.36%, 15.16%, and 7.34%, respectively, as of March 31, 2022. Stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2022 was $498.0 million, compared to $526.8 million at March 31, 2022. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was driven by a $37.4 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the tax effected mark-to-market on our securities portfolio and a $8.5 million decrease in additional paid-in capital due to our common stock repurchase activity, partially offset by $19.6 million of net income for the quarter.

Our tangible book value per share was $15.69 as of June 30, 2022 compared to $16.45 as of March 31, 2022, primarily as a result of a $37.4 million decline from the previous quarter in the tax effected mark-to-market adjustment for the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. The mark-to-market adjustment had no impact on our Tier 1 Capital Ratio or other risk based ratios. Tangible common equity was 6.07% of total assets, compared to 6.68% as of March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release (and the accompanying financial information and tables) refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, “Core operating revenue,” “Core operating revenue excluding solar tax impact,” “Core non-interest expense,” “Core net income,” “Core net income excluding solar tax impact,” “Tangible common equity,” “Average tangible common equity,” “Core return on average assets,” “Core return on average assets excluding solar tax impact,” “Core return on average tangible common equity,” “Core return on average tangible common equity excluding solar tax impact,” “Core efficiency ratio,” and “Core efficiency ratio excluding solar tax impact.”

Our management utilizes this information to compare our operating performance for June 30, 2022 versus certain periods in 2022 and 2021 and to prepare internal projections. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of our operating performance. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other discrete items unrelated to our core business, which are excluded, vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare our results to those of other companies.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information, however, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage readers to review the GAAP financial measures included in this release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial disclosures to comparable GAAP measures found in this release are set forth in the final pages of this release and also may be viewed on our website, amalgamatedbank.com.

Terminology

Certain terms used in this release are defined as follows:

“Core operating revenue” is defined as total net interest income plus “core non-interest income”, defined as non-interest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities and gains on the sale of owned property. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the total of net interest income and non-interest income.

“Core operating revenue excluding solar tax impact” is defined as total net interest income plus non-interest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, gains on the sale of owned property, and tax credits and depreciation on solar equity investments. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the total of net interest income and non-interest income.

“Core non-interest expense” is defined as total non-interest expense excluding costs related to branch closures and restructuring/severance costs. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total non-interest expense.

“Core net income” is defined as net income after tax excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, gains on the sale of owned property, costs related to branch closures, restructuring/severance costs, acquisition costs, and taxes on notable pre-tax items. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income.

“Core net income excluding solar tax impact” is defined as net income after tax excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, gains on the sale of owned property, costs related to branch closures, restructuring/severance costs, acquisition costs, tax credits and depreciation on solar equity investments, and taxes on notable pre-tax items. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income.

“Tangible common equity”, and “Tangible book value” are defined as stockholders’ equity excluding, as applicable, minority interests, preferred stock, goodwill and core deposit intangibles. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total stockholders’ equity.

“Core return on average assets” is defined as “Core net income” divided by average total assets. We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is return on average assets calculated by dividing net income by average total assets.

“Core return on average assets excluding solar tax impact” is defined as “Core net income excluding solar tax impact” divided by average total assets. We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is return on average assets calculated by dividing net income by average total assets.
