For the six months ended December 31, 2020, net income was a record $107.8 million, an increase of 31.3% over net income of $82.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Earnings attributable to Axos’ common stockholders were $107.6 million or $1.79 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 31.4% from $81.9 million or $1.32 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Record earnings for the fiscal second quarter and for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were primarily the result of growth in the Bank’s loan and lease portfolio, exceptional performance in mortgage banking and lower deposit rates paid.
“We achieved record second quarter earnings, despite maintaining a conservative level of loan loss reserves,” stated Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axos. “Net interest income and non-interest income increased by more than 20% year-over-year as a result of solid loan growth and mortgage banking fees, as well as strong net interest margin expansion. With a diverse set of lending and fee-based businesses, we feel good about our ability to generate good risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Income Statement Summary
During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, Axos earned $54.7 million or $0.91 per diluted share compared to $41.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Net interest income increased $25.7 million or 23.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019, primarily due to $2.4 billion growth in average-earning assets and a reduction in rates paid on interest-bearing demand and savings deposits due to decreases in prevailing deposits rates across the industry.
The provision for credit losses was $8.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to $4.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The increase in the provision was mainly attributable to loan growth, changes in loan mix and a change in the methodology of determining the provision for credit loss from the historical incurred loss model to a current expected loss model based upon the life of the loan.
For the second quarter ended December 31, 2020, non-interest income was $28.7 million compared to $21.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The $7.5 million increase was mainly the result of an $8.4 million increase in mortgage banking income, a $0.7 million increase in broker dealer fees and a $0.5 million increase in banking and service fees, partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in gain in sale - other, as certain sales of Emerald Advance loans to H&R Block in the three months ended December 31, 2019 did not recur in the three months ended December 31, 2020, and a decrease of $0.4 million in prepayment penalty fee income.
Non-interest expense increased $9.3 million to $76.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to $67.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The increase was mainly the result of a $4.2 million increase to salary and payroll costs due to growth in Bank staffing, a $2.5 million increase in professional services, a $2.3 million increase in data processing to support operational growth, and a $1.7 million increase in FDIC and regulatory fees, partially offset by a decrease of $1.5 million to general and administrative expense.
Balance Sheet Summary
Axos’ total assets increased $541.4 million, or 3.9%, to $14.4 billion, at December 31, 2020, up from $13.9 billion at June 30, 2020. The increase in total assets was primarily due to an increase of $978.2 million in net loans and leases held for investment, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $507.3 million. Total liabilities increased $484.7 million, primarily from increased borrowings of $182.7 million, an increase in customer, broker-dealer and clearing payables of $127.9 million, growth in deposits of $126.4 million, and an increase of $106.2 million in securities loaned, partially offset by a decrease of $60.0 million in advances from the FHLB.
The Bank’s Tier 1 core capital to adjusted average assets ratio was 9.08% at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Bank’s Tier 1 core capital to adjusted average assets ratio was 9.16%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted common share, and tangible book value per common share. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their reliance on such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.
We define “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring acquisition-related costs and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges), as adjusted earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted earnings per diluted common share (“adjusted EPS”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS provide useful information about the Bank’s operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring acquisition related costs and other (unusual or non-recurring) costs provides investors with an alternative understanding of Axos’ core business.
Below is a reconciliation of net income, the nearest compatible GAAP measure, to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for the periods shown:

| Adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) | $ | 0.94 | $ | 0.69 | $ | 1.85 | $ | 1.37 | |||||||||||||||
We define “tangible book value”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus mortgage servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses.
