Third Quarter Earnings
Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was a record $22.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared to $19.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. The $3.3 million increase for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the preceding quarter was primarily driven by an $11.1 million increase in net interest income, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in provision for loan losses, a $2.2 million decrease in non-interest income, a $2.0 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $1.2 million increase in income tax expense related to our increased pre-tax income.
Core net income excluding the impact of solar tax equity investments (non-GAAP)1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $24.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $20.9 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Excluded from core net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $1.8 million of losses on sales of securities, $0.6 million of gains on subordinated debt repurchases, and $1.3 million of accelerated depreciation from our solar tax equity investments. Excluded from the second quarter of 2022 was $0.6 million of losses on the sale of securities, $0.3 million of non-interest one-time expenses, and $0.9 million of tax credits on solar tax equity investments in the second quarter of 2022. Presentation excluding the temporary effect of the tax credits and accelerated depreciation of solar tax equity investments reduces the financial statement volatility associated with these investments.
Net interest income was $67.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $56.5 million for the second quarter of 2022. The $11.1 million increase from the preceding quarter mainly reflected higher interest income on securities of $6.4 million driven by a $78.9 million increase in average securities and a 64 basis point increase in securities yield. Loan interest income increased $4.5 million driven by a $189.5 million increase in average loan balances and a 25 basis point increase in loan yields. Total interest income was offset slightly by higher interest expense driven by a 13 basis point increase in deposit costs. These increases in yields and costs are primarily due to the rising interest rate environment.
Net interest margin was 3.50% for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of 47 basis points from 3.03% in the second quarter of 2022. The margin increase compared to the preceding quarter was driven by large increases on floating rate yields from interest-earning assets, partially offset by increases in costs on interest-bearing liabilities. Prepayment penalties earned in loan income contributed four basis points to our net interest margin in the third quarter of 2022, compared to two basis points in the second quarter of 2022.
Provision for loan losses totaled $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in the provision expense on a linked quarter basis is primarily driven by higher loan balances, an increase in qualitative factors, and $1.6 million in charge-offs related to nonperforming loans that were transferred to held for sale.
Core non-interest income excluding the impact of solar tax equity investments (non-GAAP)1 was $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $8.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease of $1.2 million was primarily related to losses on sale of nonperforming loans held for sale.
Core non-interest expense (non-GAAP)1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $36.3 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the second quarter of 2022. This was primarily driven by a $1.5 million expected increase in compensation and employee benefits and a $0.4 million increase in professional fees.
Our provision for income tax expense was $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. The increase is based on a higher pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 26.0%, compared to 25.9% for the second quarter of 2022.
Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary
Total assets were $7.9 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $7.9 billion at June 30, 2022. Notable changes within individual balance sheet line items include a $222.9 million increase in loans receivable, net of allowance and deferred fees and costs, offset by a reduction in cash of $266.3 million, a $33.1 million decrease in resell agreements, and a $31.3 million decrease in investment securities.
Total loans receivable, net of allowance and deferred fees and costs at September 30, 2022 were $3.8 billion, an increase of $220.2 million, or 6.1%, compared to June 30, 2022. The increase in loans is primarily driven by a $95.9 million increase in residential loans, a $61.7 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, a $41.4 million increase in our consumer and other loans due to solar loan originations, and a $31.3 million increase in multifamily loans, offset by a $4.3 million decrease in construction and land loans, and a $3.0 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 $16.9 million of payoffs of criticized or classified loans.
Deposits at September 30, 2022 were $7.2 billion, a decrease of $130.9 million, or 1.8%, as compared to $7.3 billion as of June 30, 2022. Total deposits year to date have increased $804.0 million, or 12.6%. Deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $123.7 million on a linked quarter basis. Accelerated runoff of political deposits is anticipated in the fourth quarter related to the conclusion of the congressional elections.
Noninterest-bearing deposits represent 56% of average deposits and 54% of ending deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, contributing to an average cost of deposits of 14 basis points in the third quarter of 2022.
Nonperforming assets totaled $54.3 million, or 0.69% of period-end total assets at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $11.0 million, compared with $65.3 million, or 0.82% on a linked quarter basis. The decrease in non-performing assets was primarily driven by a $5.7 million paydown on one commercial and industrial loan, as well as $3.9 million in residential loans that were sold.
The allowance for loan losses increased $2.6 million to $42.1 million at September 30, 2022 from $39.5 million at June 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in loan balances and an increase in qualitative factors. At September 30, 2022, we had $38.2 million of impaired loans for which there was a specific allowance of $5.2 million, compared to $60.1 million of impaired loans at June 30, 2022 for which there was a specific allowance of $6.1 million. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.09% at September 30, 2022 and 1.08% at June 30, 2022. The ratio of allowance to nonaccrual loans improved to 212.51% at September 30, 2022.
Capital Quarterly Summary
As of September 30, 2022, our Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 11.91%, Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 14.43%, and Tier-1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 7.16%, compared to 11.75%, 14.41%, and 7.08%, respectively, as of June 30, 2022. Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2022 was $487.7 million, compared to $498.0 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in stockholders’ equity was primarily driven by a $29.7 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the tax effected mark-to-market on our securities portfolio, partially offset by $22.9 million of net income for the quarter.
Our tangible book value per share was $15.37 as of September 30, 2022 compared to $15.69 as of June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of a $29.7 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 6.00% of tangible assets, compared to 6.07% as of June 30, 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 September 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.
