Liu, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

SECOND QUARTER INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $89.0 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 15.3%, compared to net income of $77.2 million for the same quarter a year ago. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, was $1.18 per share compared to $0.97 per share for the same quarter a year ago.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses

Net interest income before provision for credit losses increased $27.2 million, or 18.4%, to $175.1 million during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $148.0 million during the same quarter a year ago. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest income from loans and securities and a decrease in interest expense from deposits.

The increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets resulted mainly from higher interest rates. The net interest spread, defined as the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of funds on average interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.40% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 3.09% for the same quarter a year ago.

Non-interest income

Non-interest income, which includes revenues from depository service fees, letters of credit commissions, securities gains (losses), wire transfer fees, and other sources of fee income, was $14.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.0 million, or 15.9%, compared to $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.9 million in loan fees, when compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Non-interest expense

Non-interest expense increased $4.4 million, or 6.3%, to $74.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $69.7 million in the same quarter a year ago. The increase in non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an increase of $4.5 million in salaries and employee benefits, due in part to the acquisition of certain West Coast HSBC branches, an increase of $1.9 million in professional service expenses, offset, in part, by a decrease of $3.4 million in amortization expense of investments in low-income housing and alternative energy partnerships when compared to the same quarter a year ago. The efficiency ratio was 39.1% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 43.4% for the same quarter a year ago.

Gross loans were $17.8 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 8.6%, from $16.3 billion as of December 31, 2021.

GAAP to NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Tangible equity and tangible equity to tangible assets ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible equity and tangible assets represent stockholders’ equity and total assets, respectively, which have been reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Given that the use of such measures and ratios is more prevalent in the banking industry, and such measures and ratios are used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them below for discussion.
