Our growing digital currency customer base is rapidly adopting our proprietary global payments platform with over $10 billion dollars moving across the SEN in the third quarter. We also experienced digital currency related fee income growth of 177%, year over year, as the SEN continues to gain broad adoption by both institutional investors and exchanges, and we see an opportunity to further expand the services that we offer.”

The successful completion of our IPO would not have been possible without our dedicated employees, customers, and partners who I would like to thank for their hard work and commitment. Our offering is an important step in the transformation and growth of Silvergate and I am excited with the many opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to grow the SEN, diversify our revenues and further scale the platform.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis

Net interest income totaled $18.4 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $17.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, and $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2018.

Compared to the second quarter of 2019, net interest income increased $0.9 million due to an increase in interest earning assets driven primarily by an increase in average balances of securities and mortgage warehouse loans, partially offset by a decrease in interest earning deposits in other banks and an increase in interest bearing liabilities. The increase in securities was driven primarily by the purchase of fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities and adjustable rate residential mortgage-backed securities. The increase in interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to the issuance of callable brokered certificates of deposits, which were used to fund fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities, both associated with a hedging strategy which is discussed in further detail in the “Balance Sheet—Securities” section.

Compared to the third quarter of 2018, net interest income increased $0.5 million due to a $217.1 million increase in average interest earning assets and an 11 basis point increase in our yield on earning assets, partially offset by a $241.3 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities. Average interest earning assets increased due to an increase in average balances of securities and loans, partly offset by a decrease in interest earning deposits in other banks. The increase in securities was driven by the purchase of fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities and adjustable rate residential mortgage-backed securities, while the increase in loans was primarily driven by an increase in mortgage warehouse loans, partly offset by a decrease in commercial loans related to the sale of the business lending division in the first quarter of 2019. Yields on earning assets benefited from the increase in securities relative to interest earnings deposits in other banks, and from an overall increase in higher yielding loans. The increase in interest bearing deposits was primarily due to the issuance of callable brokered certificates of deposits, which were used to fund fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities, both associated with a hedging strategy which is discussed in further detail in the “Balance Sheet—Securities” section. Noninterest bearing deposits generated by the digital currency initiative are primarily invested in securities and interest earning deposits.

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2019 was 3.39%, compared to 3.56% for the second quarter of 2019, and 3.67% for the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in the net interest margin compared to the second quarter of 2019 was driven by the increase in interest bearing deposits due to the issuance of callable brokered certificates of deposits, while the yield on interest earning assets was relatively flat as the impact of the federal funds rate reductions was offset by a higher level of securities and loans relative to interest earning deposits in other banks. The net margin decrease from the third quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the callable brokered certificates of deposits associated with the hedging strategy.

  1. Loans include nonaccrual loans and loans held-for-sale, net of deferred fees and before allowance for loan losses.
  2. Interest income includes amortization of deferred loan fees, net of deferred loan costs.
  3. Net interest spread is the difference between interest rates earned on interest earning assets and interest rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.
  4. Net interest margin is a ratio calculated as annualized net interest income 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 $0.9 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to a provision of $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, and no provision for the third quarter of 2018. For a discussion on the provision and allowance for loan losses, see “Balance Sheet—Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 was $2.6 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 20.7%, from the second quarter of 2019. The primary driver of this increase was a $0.5 million, or 41.5% increase in deposit related fees attributed to increases in cash management, foreign exchange, and SEN related fees associated with our digital currency initiative.

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased by $0.4 million, or 19.0%, compared to the third quarter of 2018, primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million, or 140.8%, in deposit related fees. The increase was partially offset by decreases in service fees related to off-balance sheet deposits, gain on sale of loans and other income. Deposit related fees increased primarily due to increases in cash management, foreign exchange, and SEN related fees associated with our digital currency initiative.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $12.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2019, and an increase of $1.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Noninterest expense decreased from the prior quarter due to lower occupancy and equipment, professional services and federal deposit insurance expense that was partially offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits and communications and data processing.

Noninterest expense increased from the third quarter of 2018 due to continued expansion of our technology-driven banking platform with significant capacity to support potential future growth. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.0 million from the third quarter of 2018 due primarily to an increase in full-time equivalent employees associated with growth in project management and operations to support the expansion of our technology driven platform. This was partially offset by a reduction in personnel as a result of the sale of the Bank’s San Marcos branch and business loan operations. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018, due to an increase in leased space for the corporate headquarters, partially offset by the sale of the San Marcos branch. Communications and data processing increased $0.6 million from enhancements to our IT infrastructure and expansion projects to support our digital currency initiative.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, and $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2018. Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was 28.3%, compared to 24.7% for the second quarter of 2019, and 28.1% third quarter of 2018. The lower effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 was due to recognized tax benefits which include excess benefits from stock-based compensation.

Results of Operations, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $21.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, compared to $14.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, for the same period in 2018.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $55.3 million, compared to $48.8 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase of $9.8 million in interest income partially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in interest expense. The increase in interest income was the result of both an increase in average earning assets and higher yields on those assets, driven in part by an increase in both securities and loans relative to cash and cash equivalents.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $12.6 million, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in total noninterest income was primarily due to the increase in fee income from our digital currency customers and the $5.5 million gain on sale of branch that occurred in the first quarter of 2019.

Noninterest expense was $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $34.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and communications and data processing corresponding to our organic growth as we have expanded our operational infrastructure and implemented our plan to build an efficient, technology-driven banking operation with significant capacity for growth.

Income tax expense was $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to an income tax expense of $5.5 million for the same period in 2018.

Balance Sheet

Deposits

At September 30, 2019, deposits totaled $1.8 billion, a decrease of $90.6 million, or 4.7%, from June 30, 2019, and a decrease of $89.2 million, or 4.6%, from September 30, 2018. Noninterest bearing deposits totaled $1.4 billion (representing approximately 75.5% of total deposits) at September 30, 2019, a decrease of $155.5 million from the prior quarter end and a $314.2 million decrease compared to September 30, 2018. The decrease in total deposits from the prior quarter reflects changes in deposit levels of our digital currency customers, offset slightly by an increase of $75.0 million in callable brokered certificates of deposit. The decrease in total deposits from September 30, 2018 was also impacted by the sale of the San Marcos branch, which reduced total deposits by $74.5 million, offset by an increase of $325.0 million in callable brokered certificates of deposit associated with the implementation of a hedging strategy. While deposits may fluctuate in the ordinary course of business, the Company has continued to add new digital currency customers each quarter.

The weighted average cost of deposits for the third quarter of 2019 was 0.50%, compared to 0.28% for the second quarter of 2019, and 0.09% for the third quarter of 2018. The increase in the weighted average cost of deposits compared to the second quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2018 was driven by the addition of new callable brokered certificates of deposit associated with a hedging strategy, as discussed in “Balance Sheet—Securities” below.

Securities

Securities available-for-sale decreased $10.6 million, or 1.1%, from $920.5 million at June 30, 2019, and increased $607.6 million, or 201.0%, from $302.3 million at September 30, 2018, to $909.9 million at September 30, 2019. The Company’s securities portfolio has grown substantially due to the implementation of a hedging strategy and the purchase of high quality available-for-sale securities. In March 2019, the Bank implemented a hedging strategy that includes purchases of interest rate floors and commercial mortgage-backed securities, primarily funded by callable brokered certificates of deposit. This hedging strategy is intended to reduce the Bank’s exposure to a decline in earnings in a declining interest rate environment with a minimal negative impact on current earnings. At September 30, 2019, the Company purchased $400.0 million in notional amount of interest rate floors, $350.4 million in fixed-rate commercial mortgage-backed securities and issued $325.0 million of callable brokered certificates of deposit related to the hedging strategy. The callable brokered certificates of deposit had an unamortized premium of $2.3 million and have an average life of 4.2 years as of September 30, 2019. These certificates of deposit are initially callable six months after issuance and monthly thereafter. The initial call dates for all callable brokered certificates of deposit are from October 2019 through January 2020. At September 30, 2019, we held a total of $196.0 million in callable certificates of deposit and $1.3 million of related unamortized premium, which was subsequently called after the end of the third quarter. In addition, the Company purchased $20.0 million in adjustable rate residential mortgage-backed securities during the third quarter of 2019 and sold $30.0 million of residential and commercial government agency collateralized mortgage obligations.
