SUPPLEMENTAL QUARTERLY DETAILS:

Wealth Management

In the March 2022 quarter, the Bank’s wealth management business generated $14.83 million in fee income, compared to $13.96 million for the December 31, 2021 quarter and $12.13 million for the March 2021 quarter.

The market value of the Company’s AUM/AUAstood at $10.7 billion at March 31, 2022. Gross new business inflows for the 2022 quarter totaled $350 million.

John Babcock, President of the Peapack Private Wealth Management division, said “Our AUM/AUA were negatively impacted in Q1 2022 as the S&P was down 5% in Q1 2022. Notwithstanding current volatility, economic and global uncertainties, and overall market declines, new business from existing clients as well as from new clients continue at a healthy pace. In Q1 2022, total new accounts and client additions totaled $350 million – approximately $150 million of which was in our Delaware trust company. Of the remaining $200 million, $160 million was new managed business and the remainder was custody. As we enter Q2 2022, our new business pipeline is strong.”

Additionally, we are nearing the completion of our “One Team” integration, which consolidates the operating and technology platforms of our eight acquisitions made since 2015 into a singular operating and technology platform, and also streamlines our organizational structure. In Q1 2022, we consolidated our Princeton Portfolio Strategies team (acquired in 2021) into our existing private banking office in Princeton. In August, we will combine our former Point View and Lassus Wherley locations together in a new private banking office in Summit, NJ.

Loans / Commercial Banking

At March 31, 2022, loans totaled $5.15 billion, compared to $4.25 billion (excluding $187 million of PPP loans) at March 31, 2021, reflecting growth of 21%.

Total C&I loans and leases (including the $10 million of PPP loans) at March 31, 2022 were $2.04 billion or 40% of the total loan portfolio.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Our commercial loan pipelines continue to be strong going into the new year, standing at approximately $300 million with the likelihood of a second quarter closing. We believe that we will achieve mid to high single digit loan growth for the remainder of 2022.”

Mr. Kennedy also noted, “We are proud to have built a leading middle market commercial banking franchise, as evidenced by strong growth in our C&I Portfolio, continued growth in Treasury Management income, and back-to-back quarters with large corporate advisory fees by our investment banking group – this team had record earnings in 2021 and started off 2022 with another large fee event.”

Funding / Liquidity / Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company actively manages its deposit base to reduce reliance on wholesale funding, volatility, and/or operational risk. Total deposits at March 31, 2022 increased $121 million to $5.39 billion from $5.27 billion at December 31, 2021 and increased $443 million from $4.94 billion at March 31, 2021. Along with the deposit growth, the change in mix was favorable, as noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $114 million, interest-bearing demand increased $375 million, savings and money market increased $68 million, while higher costing CDs declined $90 million and brokered deposits declined $25 million, when comparing March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2021.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “90% of our deposits are demand, savings, or money market accounts, and our noninterest bearing deposits comprise 19% of our total deposits; both metrics reflect the relationship aspect of our deposit base.”

At March 31, 2022, the Company’s balance sheet liquidity (investments available for sale, interest-earning deposits and cash) totaled $747.7 million (or 12% of assets).

The Company maintains backup liquidity of approximately $1.8 billion of secured available funding with the Federal Home Loan Bank and $1.6 billion of secured funding from the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The available funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve are secured by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios.

Net Interest Income (NII)/Net Interest Margin (NIM)

	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		March 31, 2021
	NII	NIM	NII	NIM	NII	NIM

NII/NIM excluding the below	$39,274	2.68%	$36,564	2.60%	$30,565	2.49%
Prepayment premiums received on loan paydowns	351	0.02%	555	0.04%	704	0.05%
Effect of maintaining excess interest earning cash	-3	-0.01%	-68	-0.18%	-195	-0.21%
Effect of PPP loans	0	0.00%	161	0.00%	719	-0.05%
NII/NIM as reported	$39,622	2.69%	$37,212	2.46%	$31,793	2.28%

As shown above, the Company’s reported NII and NIM for Q1 2022 increased $2.4 million and 23 basis points, respectively, compared to the linked quarter (Q4 2021) and $7.8 million and 41 basis points compared to the prior year quarter (Q1 2021). The Bank further lowered its cost of funds strategically and grew its average loan portfolio at rates/spreads beneficial to NIM, while reducing lower-yielding liquidity. Additionally, the Bank benefitted from the increase in LIBOR during Q1.

Mr. Kennedy stated, “As noted above, we benefitted from the increase in LIBOR during Q1 and we are positioned to continue to benefit from a rise in interest rates. 38% of our loan portfolio reprices within three months and 50% within one year. Our current modeling, with what we believe include very conservative deposit beta assumptions (average of 45%), indicates net interest income will improve approximately 2% in year one and 8.5% in year two after a 200 basis point rate shock.”

Mr. Kennedy went on to note, “During Q1, 2022 we executed a balance sheet repositioning whereby we added $250 million of multifamily loans, funded by the sale of $125 million of lower-yielding, like duration securities, and deposits. To manage a neutral overall duration effect on the balance sheet, thereby protecting the balance sheet against the impact of rising rates, we executed an additional $100 million of forward starting five-year pay fixed swaps. The repositioning resulted in an attractive earn-back period on the loss on sale of securities, with future net interest margin improving by four basis points, and no impact to tangible capital or tangible book value per share. The on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet liquidity profile of the Bank remain strong.”

Income from Capital Markets Activities

Noninterest income from Capital Markets activities (detailed below) totaled $4.65 million for the March 2022 quarter compared to $3.52 million for the December 2021 quarter and $3.57 million for the March 2021 quarter. The March 2022 quarter results were driven by $2.84 million in gains on sales of SBA loans. The December 2021 quarter results were driven by $2.18 million in corporate advisory fee income although all three periods recorded over $1 million in fees. The March 2021 quarter reflected increased mortgage banking activity due to greater refinance activity in the low-rate environment. The March 2022, December 2021 and March 2021 quarters included no income from loan level, back-to-back swap activities, as there has been minimal activity for such in the current environment.

	Three Months Ended	Three Months Ended	Three Months Ended
	March 31,	December 31,	March 31,
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)	2022	2021	2021
Gain on loans held for sale at fair value (Mortgage banking)	$247	$352	$1,025
Fee income related to loan level, back-to-back swaps	—	—	—
Gain on sale of SBA loans	2,844	989	1,449
Corporate advisory fee income	1,561	2,180	1,098
Total capital markets activity	$4,652	$3,521	$3,572

Other Noninterest Income (other than Wealth Management fee income and Income from Capital Markets Activities)

Other noninterest income (as defined above) included a $6.6 million loss on sale of securities, associated with the balance sheet repositioning executed in Q1 2022, described above. When excluding this loss, other noninterest income was $1.84 million for Q1 2022, compared to $1.48 million, and $2.12 million for the December 2021 and March 2021 quarters, respectively. The December 2021 quarter included a net loss of $265,000 on loans held for sale.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s total operating expenses were $34.17 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $31.70 million for the December 2021 quarter and $31.59 million for the March 2021 quarter. Both the March 2022 and March 2021 quarters included $1.5 million of severance expense related to certain staff reorganizations within several areas of the Bank. The March 2022 and December 2021 quarters also included a full quarter’s worth of expense related to the acquisition of Princeton Portfolio Strategies Group (“PPSG”) which closed on July 1, 2021. Further, the March 2022 quarter included increased costs related to health insurance and corporate insurance, as well as the normal annual merit increases and year-end bonuses.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “While we continue to manage expenses closely and prudently, we will invest in our existing people as the market demands in order to retain the talent we have acquired. We will also grow and expand our core wealth management and commercial banking businesses, including strategic hires and lift-outs, and investin digital enhancements to further enhance the client experience.”

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 24.45%, as compared to 28.31% for the December 2021 quarter and 25.94% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The March 31, 2022 and 2021 quarters benefitted from the vesting of restricted stock at prices higher than grant prices.

Asset Quality / Provision for Credit Losses

Nonperforming assets (which does not include troubled debt restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their terms) at March 31, 2022 were $15.9 million, or 0.25% of total assets. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing were $606,000.

Loans on deferral and accruing, entered into during the COVID-19 pandemic have come down significantly from $914 million at June 30, 2020 to $13 million at March 31, 2022.

On January 1, 2022, the Company implemented Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology for calculating the Company’s Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”). The day one CECL adjustment totaled $5.5 million (reduction to 12/31/2021 ACL, and benefit to Capital, net of tax effect).

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s provision for credit losses was $2.4 million compared to $3.8 million for the December 2021 quarter and $225,000 for the March 2021 quarter. The increased provision for credit losses in the March 2022 and December 2021 quarters, when compared to the March 2021 quarter was due principally to significant loan growth during the March 2022 and December 2021 quarters, offset by improvement in macro-economic conditions and strong and stable asset quality metrics.

At March 31, 2022, the ACL was $58.39 million (1.13% of total loans), compared to $61.70 million at December 31, 2021 (1.27% of loans) and $67.54 million at March 31, 2021 (1.52% of total loans).

Capital

The Company’s capital position during the March 2022 quarter was benefitted by net income of $13.44 million and the CECL day one adjustment of $3.9 million, net of tax, which was offset by the purchase of approximately 300,000 shares through the Company’s stock repurchase program ($11.2 million) and the quarterly dividend ($920,000). U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) Capital at March 31, 2022 was also impacted by an increase in the unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities in the first quarter of 2022 due to the significant rise in medium-term Treasury yields.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Despite capital spent on stock repurchases, and capital being affected by the increased unrealized loss on AFS securities, our tangible book value per share only declined 4%, from $27.05 at December 31, 2021 to $25.85 at March 31, 2022.”

The Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios at March 31, 2022 remain strong. Such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

As previously announced, in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company successfully completed a private placement of $100 million in fixed-to floating rate subordinated notes due 2030 at a rate of 3.5%. Such funds benefitted the Company’s Regulatory Tier 2 Capital. At the time, the Company noted the proceeds raised would be used for general corporate purposes, which could include stock repurchases, the redemption of the Company’s then existing 6% subordinated debt and acquisitions of wealth management firms. Throughout the twelve months of 2021, the Company repurchased $29 million of stock, and repurchased an additional $11 million during Q1 2022. On June 30, 2021, the Company redeemed its 6% subordinated debt. On July 1, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of PPSG.

The Company employs quarterly capital stress testing – adverse case and severely adverse case. In the most recent completed stress test on December 31, 2021, under severely adverse case, and no growth scenarios, the Bank remains well capitalized over a two-year stress period.With a Pandemic stress overlay, the Bank still remains well capitalized over the two-year stress period.

On April 28, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on May 26, 2022, to shareholders of record on May 12, 2022.

These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

our ability to successfully grow our business and implement our strategic plan, including our ability to generate revenues to offset the increased personnel and other costs related to the strategic plan;
the impact of anticipated higher operating expenses in 2022 and beyond;
our ability to successfully integrate wealth management firm acquisitions;
our ability to manage our growth;
our ability to successfully integrate our expanded employee base;
an unexpected decline in the economy, in particular in our New Jersey and New York market areas;
declines in our net interest margin caused by the interest rate environment and/or our highly competitive market;
declines in the value in our investment portfolio;
impact from a pandemic event on our business, operations, customers, allowance for credit losses and capital levels;
higher than expected increases in our allowance for credit losses;
higher than expected increases in loan and lease losses or in the level of delinquent, nonperforming, classified and criticized loans;
inflation and changes in interest rates, which may adversely impact or margins and yields, reduce the fair value of our financial instruments, reduce our loan originations and lead to higher operating costs;
decline in real estate values within our market areas;
legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III and related regulations) that may result in increased compliance costs;
successful cyberattacks against our IT infrastructure and that of our IT and third-party providers;
higher than expected FDIC insurance premiums;

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;
if the economy worsens, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;
collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;
our allowance for credit losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income;
the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us;
a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in an elimination or a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;
our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil;
a worsening of business and economic conditions or in the financial markets could result in an impairment of certain intangible assets, such as goodwill;
the unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak, which could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy, especially as we may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors;
our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and
FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs.

A discussion of these and other factors that could affect our results is included in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by period end common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by period end common shares outstanding. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding other real estate owned provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios because our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
