Alan Lane, president and chief executive officer of Silvergate, commented, “We started off 2022 on a strong note, driven by the power of our platform and continued progress on our strategic initiatives. I’m particularly pleased with our first quarter results when you consider that this was one of the most challenging periods for the broader crypto ecosystem since the beginning of the pandemic. While volume on the Silvergate Exchange Network was impacted by broader industry trends, I remain encouraged by the continued growth we saw in customers, SEN Leverage commitments, and average deposits, which reached a record $14.7 billion. To advance our customer-first approach, we continued to invest in our strategic initiatives, including stablecoin infrastructure through the acquisition of select blockchain-based payment technology assets from the Diem Group, and the launch of the Euro SEN. I look forward to the rest of 2022 and I am excited for what lies ahead for Silvergate.”

Results of Operations, Quarter Ended March 31, 2022

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis (Taxable Equivalent Basis)

The Company’s securities portfolio includes tax-exempt municipal bonds with tax-exempt income from these securities calculated and presented below on a taxable equivalent basis. Net interest income, net interest spread and net interest margin are presented on a taxable equivalent basis to consistently reflect income from taxable securities and tax-exempt securities based on the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis totaled $54.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $40.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and $23.5 million for the first quarter of 2021.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $13.8 million, due to increased interest income, while interest expense remained flat. Average total interest earning assets increased by $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased securities offset by decreased interest earning deposits in other banks. The average yield on interest earning assets increased from 1.11% for the fourth quarter of 2021 to 1.37% for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to a higher proportion of securities and a lower proportion of interest earning deposits in other banks as a percentage of interest earning assets, as well as higher yields on recently purchased securities. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $70.2 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, due to increased FHLB advances. The average rate on total interest bearing liabilities decreased from 1.17% for the fourth quarter of 2021 to 0.85% for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to a higher proportion of lower cost FHLB borrowings as a percentage of interest bearing liabilities.

Compared to the first quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $30.5 million due to increased interest income, with the largest driver being higher balances of securities, while interest expense remained relatively flat. Average total interest earning assets increased by $9.0 billion for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased securities balances funded by the growth in digital currency related deposits. The average yield on total interest earning assets increased from 1.35% for the first quarter of 2021 to 1.37% for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to a higher proportion of securities and a lower proportion of interest earning deposits in other banks as a percentage of interest earning assets, partially offset by lower yields on the securities portfolio due to the majority of the securities in the portfolio being acquired in the last 12 months within a lower rate environment. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $30.6 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, due to increased FHLB advances offset by lower balances of interest bearing deposits. The average rate on total interest bearing liabilities decreased from 0.89% for the first quarter of 2021 to 0.85% for the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to a higher proportion of lower cost FHLB borrowings as a percentage of interest bearing liabilities.

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022 was 1.36%, compared to 1.11% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and 1.33% for the first quarter of 2021. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a higher proportion of securities and a lower proportion of interest earning deposits in other banks as a percentage of interest earning assets, as well as higher yields on recently purchased securities. The increase in the net interest margin compared to the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a higher proportion of securities and a lower proportion of interest earning deposits in other banks as a percentage of interest earning assets, partially offset by lower yields on the securities portfolio.

________________________

(1)

Interest income on tax-exempt securities is presented on a taxable equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% for all periods presented.

(2)

Loans include nonaccrual loans and loans held-for-sale, net of deferred fees and before allowance for loan losses.

(3)

Interest income includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.

(4)

Net interest spread is the difference between interest rates earned on interest earning assets and interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.

(5)

Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as annualized net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, divided by average interest earning assets for the same period.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a reversal of provision for loan losses of $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to no provision for the fourth quarter of 2021, or for the first quarter of 2021. The reversal in the first quarter of 2022 was due to the changes in loan product and segment mix in the portfolio, including the net impact of the sale of approximately $150.8 million of real estate loans, partially offset by an increase in SEN Leverage loans.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 was $9.5 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 14.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. The primary reasons for this decrease were a $0.6 million increase in loss on sale of securities and a $0.4 million, or 4.4%, decrease in deposit related fees as a result of lower foreign exchange fees attributed in part to the geopolitical environment, which negatively impacted trading volume. Additionally, there was a $0.5 million decrease in other income due to a gain on sale of other assets of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to a gain on sale of other assets of $0.9 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 increased by $1.4 million, or 16.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily due to a $1.8 million, or 25.9%, increase in deposit related fees and a $0.4 million increase in other income due to a gain on sale of other assets, offset by a $0.3 million, or 31.8%, decrease in mortgage warehouse fee income and a $0.6 million loss on sale of securities recognized in the first quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $28.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.4 million, or 9.2%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and an increase of $8.4 million, or 42.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2021. The increase in noninterest expense compared to prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense attributable to increased headcount as part of organic growth as well as increases in communications and data processing costs all of which support the Company’s strategic initiatives. Other general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an increase in the provision for off-balance sheet commitments related to SEN Leverage loans. This was partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance expense due to a slower growth rate in deposit levels. The increase in noninterest expense from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits attributable to increased headcount as well as increases in communications and data processing, professional services, and other general and administrative of costs all of which support organic growth and the Company’s strategic initiatives.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense was $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, and a benefit of $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 20.4%, compared to 9.4% for the fourth quarter of 2021, and (10.5)% for the first quarter of 2021. The tax expense and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was impacted by significant increases in tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021. In addition, the lower effective tax rates for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2021, were due to higher excess tax benefits recognized on the exercise of stock options.

Balance Sheet

Deposits

At March 31, 2022, deposits totaled $13.4 billion, a decrease of $0.9 billion, or 6.3%, from December 31, 2021, and an increase of $6.4 billion, or 91.3%, from March 31, 2021. Noninterest bearing deposits totaled $13.3 billion, representing approximately 99.5% of total deposits at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $0.9 billion from the prior quarter end, and a $6.4 billion increase compared to March 31, 2021.

Our continued growth has been accompanied by significant fluctuations in the levels of our deposits, in particular our deposits from customers operating in the digital currency industry. The Bank’s average total digital currency customer deposits during the first quarter of 2022 amounted to $14.7 billion, with the high and low daily total digital currency deposit levels during such time being $16.2 billion and $13.2 billion, respectively, compared to an average of $13.3 billion during the fourth quarter of 2021, and high and low daily deposit levels of $16.0 billion and $10.2 billion, respectively.

Demand for new deposit accounts is generated by the Company’s banking platform for innovators that includes the SEN, which is enabled through Silvergate’s proprietary API, and other cash management solutions. These tools enable Silvergate’s customers to grow their businesses and scale operations. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the Company’s digital currency customer base and the deposits held by such customers at the dates noted below:

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $4.4 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $6.9 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans held-for-investment at March 31, 2022 was 0.60%, compared to 0.77% and 0.94% at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively. The decrease in this ratio at March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the lower risk profile of the loan portfolio as a result of the loan sale discussed above.

Nonperforming assets totaled $3.6 million, or 0.02% of total assets, at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million from $4.0 million, or 0.03% of total assets at December 31, 2021. Nonperforming assets decreased $1.6 million, from $5.3 million, or 0.07%, of total assets at March 31, 2021.
