Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $266 million for the current quarter increased $40.7 million, or 18 percent, from the prior quarter net interest income of $225 million and increased $74.6 million, or 39 percent, from the prior year
9

fourth quarter net interest income of $191 million. The current quarter interest income of $373 million increased $47.8 million, or 15 percent, over the prior quarter and increased $75.8 million, or 26 percent, over the prior year fourth quarter, both increases primarily due to the increase in the loan yields and the increase in average balances of the loan portfolio. The loan yield of 6.09 percent in the current quarter increased 12 basis points from the prior quarter loan yield of 5.97 percent and increased 37 basis points from the prior year fourth quarter loan yield of 5.72 percent.

The current quarter interest expense of $107 million increased $7.1 million, or 7 percent, from the prior quarter and increased $1.1 million, or 1 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter and was primarily attributable to an increase in average deposits which was partially offset by the decrease in higher cost borrowings. Deposit cost (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased to 1.26 percent in the current quarter compared to 1.23 percent in the prior quarter and was primarily driven by the acquisition of Guaranty which had higher cost of deposits. Deposit costs decreased 3 basis points from the prior year fourth quarter deposit cost of 1.29 percent. The total cost of funding (including non-interest bearing deposits) of 1.52 percent in the current quarter decreased 6 basis points from the prior quarter and decreased 19 basis points from the prior year fourth quarter.

The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the current quarter was 3.58 percent, an increase of 19 basis points from the prior quarter net interest margin of 3.39 percent and was primarily driven by an increase in loan yields and a decrease in the total cost of funding. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the current quarter was an increase of 61 basis points from the prior year fourth quarter net interest margin of 2.97 percent and was also primarily driven by the increase in loan yields and the decrease in the total cost of funding. Core net interest margin excludes the impact from discount accretion and non-accrual interest. Excluding the 6 basis points from discount accretion and the 1 basis point of non-accrual interest recovery, the core net interest margin was 3.51 percent in the current quarter compared to 3.35 percent in the prior quarter and 2.92 percent in the prior year fourth quarter. "The Company was pleased with the 19 basis points increase in the current quarter net interest margin," said Ron Copher, Chief Financial Officer. "Deploying lower yield cash flow from investment securities into higher yield earning assets in combination with continued reduction in the total cost of funding were primary drivers of the current quarter increase in the net interest margin."

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the current quarter totaled $40.4 million, which was an increase of $5.1 million, or 14 percent, over the prior quarter and an increase of $8.9 million, or 28 percent, over the prior year fourth quarter. Service charges and other fees of $24.4 million for the current quarter increased $2.9 million, or 14 percent, compared to the prior quarter and increased $4.1 million, or 20 percent, compared to the prior year fourth quarter. Gain on the sale of residential loans of $4.6 million for the current quarter decreased $433 thousand, or 9 percent, compared to the prior quarter and increased $668 thousand, or 17 percent, from the prior year fourth quarter. Other income of $5.9 million in the current quarter included $1.4 million of income related to bank owned life insurance proceeds.

The decrease from the prior quarter was principally driven by the increase in net interest income which outpaced the increase in non-interest expense.
