I am proud of our results as we achieved record net income available to common shareholders of $35.9 million and saw some of the highest daily dollar transfer volumes ever on the Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN). In addition, we saw continued demand for our SEN Leverage product, with no losses or forced liquidations."
“Overall, our platform was built to support our clients in this relatively nascent industry during periods of high volumes, market volatility and transformation, and performed as designed throughout the quarter. Our balance sheet is optimized for client liquidity and risk management practices are at the forefront in all aspects of our business to ensure we are prepared for any market environment. I remain confident in our trajectory throughout the second half of 2022, while continuing to invest in our strategic initiatives,” Lane added.

Results of Operations, Quarter Ended June 30, 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 $74.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $54.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, and $31.2 million for the second quarter of 2021.
Compared to the first quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $20.5 million due to increased interest income, driven by higher yields across all interest earning asset categories, offset slightly by increased interest expense. Average total interest earning assets decreased by $0.9 billion for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to decreased interest earning deposits in other banks due in part to lower average deposits and increased securities balances. The average yield on interest earning assets increased from 1.37% for the first quarter of 2022 to 1.99% for the second quarter of 2022, with the most significant impacts due to higher yields on securities and loans. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $318.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022, due to
2


increased FHLB advances. The average rate on total interest bearing liabilities increased from 0.85% for the first quarter of 2022 to 0.87% for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest rates on FHLB borrowings.
Compared to the second quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $43.3 million due to increased interest income, with the largest driver being higher securities balances, offset slightly by increased interest expense. Average total interest earning assets increased by $4.4 billion for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to increased securities balances funded primarily by the growth in digital currency related deposits and reallocation of interest earning deposits in other banks. The average yield on total interest earning assets increased from 1.17% for the second quarter of 2021 to 1.99% for the second 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 securities, loans and interest earning deposits in other banks. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $368.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, due to increased FHLB advances. The average rate on total interest bearing liabilities decreased from 1.02% for the second quarter of 2021 to 0.87% for the second 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 second quarter of 2022 was 1.96%, compared to 1.36% for the first quarter of 2022, and 1.16% for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in net interest margin compared to the first quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher yields on adjustable rate securities and loans reflecting the increasing interest rate environment. The increase in net interest margin compared to the second 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 securities, loans and interest earning deposits in other banks.

(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 no provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a reversal of provision for loan losses of $2.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, and no provision for the second 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 real estate loans, partially offset by an increase in SEN Leverage loans.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $9.2 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.5%, from the first quarter of 2022. The primary reasons for this decrease were a $0.4 million decrease in other income due to a gain on sale of other assets of $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2022 and a $0.2 million, or 1.8%, decrease in deposit related fees which remained relatively flat, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in loss on sale of securities.
4


Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 decreased by $2.9 million, or 23.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million, or 22.1%, decrease in deposit related fees as a result of lower cash management fees from digital currency related customers.

Noninterest expense totaled $30.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.5 million, or 9.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $9.0 million, or 42.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase in noninterest expense compared to the 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 professional services and occupancy and equipment costs, all of which support the Company’s strategic initiatives. Other general and administrative expenses decreased from the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to a $1.6 million reversal of the provision for off-balance sheet commitments due to a change in estimate related to bitcoin collateralized SEN Leverage commitments. The increase in noninterest expense from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits attributable to increased headcount as well as increases in occupancy and equipment, communications and data processing and professional services, all of which support organic growth and the Company’s strategic initiatives. This was partially offset by a decrease in federal deposit insurance expense due to a lower growth rate in deposit levels.

Income tax expense was $10.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, and a benefit of $2,000 for the second quarter of 2021. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 21.5%, compared to 20.4% for the first quarter of 2022, and zero for the second quarter of 2021. The tax expense and effective tax rate for the first and second quarter of 2022 were impacted by significant increases in tax-exempt income earned on certain municipal bonds compared to the second quarter of 2021. In addition, the lower effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2021 was due to higher excess tax benefits recognized on the exercise of stock options.

Balance Sheet
Deposits
At June 30, 2022, deposits totaled $13.5 billion, an increase of $104.6 million, or 0.8%, from March 31, 2022, and an increase of $2.1 billion, or 18.7%, from June 30, 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 deposits from digital currency customers during the second quarter of 2022 amounted to $13.8 billion, with the high and low daily totals of these deposit levels during such time being $17.6 billion and $12.6 billion, respectively, compared to an average of $14.7 billion during the first quarter of 2022, and high and low daily deposit levels of $16.2 billion and $13.2 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.
