Denver, Colorado – January 28, 2022 – FirstSun Capital Bancorp (“FirstSun”) reported net income of $8.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $8.7 million in the prior quarter and $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Earnings per diluted share was $0.47 for the fourth quarter 2021, compared to $0.46 in the prior quarter and $0.60 in the fourth quarter of 2020. Net income for the full year of 2021 was $43.2 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, compared to $47.6 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, for the full year of 2020.
Mollie Carter, FirstSun’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are very pleased with the strong results we delivered in our fourth quarter and the quality of our continued growth year over year. While we await regulatory approval of our merger with Pioneer Bancshares, Austin, Texas, our teams continued to deliver on our primary organic growth strategy. The targeted investments we have made in our relationship banking model, especially in our Southwest markets, have enabled us to continue our trajectory of growth in the loan, deposit and non-interest income categories that we believe are key to delivering what we refer to as sustainable growth, and we have achieved this while maintaining our historically strong asset quality. We are grateful to our teams who maintained their commitment to building lasting customer relationships again in 2021 after working so hard to deliver an exceptional year in 2020.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Results
Net income totaled $8.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $8.7 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, during the prior quarter. The return on average assets was 0.62% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 0.62% in the prior quarter, and the return on average equity was 6.69% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 6.68% in the prior quarter.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $40.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.5 million compared to the prior quarter. Our net interest margin declined two basis points to 2.99% compared to the prior quarter. Results in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the prior quarter, were driven by an increase in average earning assets of $94.9 million, and a decrease of one basis point in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease of three basis points in yield on earning assets. Average loans grew by $59.4 million and investment securities grew by $68.4 million, while interest bearing cash balances declined by $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the prior quarter. Loan yield decreased by five basis points in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to a reduction in fees from loan prepayments and a reduction in fees resulting from PPP loan forgiveness. Our total cost of deposits decreased by two basis points to 0.22% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the prior quarter.
Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses totaled $1.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease of $2.3 million compared to the prior quarter. Net charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2021 were $1.6 million, or a ratio of net charge-offs to average loans of 0.16% annualized, compared to net recoveries of $1.4 million, or a ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans of (0.15)% annualized, in the prior quarter. The full year net charge-off ratio for 2021 was 0.09%, down two basis points, from 0.11% for the full year 2020. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans totaled 1.18% at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.26% at September 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans, excluding PPP loans, a non-GAAP financial measure, totaled 1.20% at December 31, 2021, compared to 1.30% at September 30, 2021.

Noninterest income totaled $29.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.7 million from the prior quarter. Service charges on deposits increased $0.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2021 from the prior quarter, due to increases in both commercial and consumer deposit fees. Mortgage banking income decreased $1.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2021 from the prior quarter, due primarily to margin compression and its impact on loan sale gains and the pipeline valuation. Total mortgage loan originations declined by $0.9 million, or 0.2%, in the fourth quarter of 2021 from the prior quarter, with mortgage loan refinance volumes declining by $15.8 million. In the fourth quarter of 2021, other noninterest income increased $2.3 million from the prior quarter, to $2.9 million, primarily due to increases in customer accommodation interest rate swap fees and loan syndication fee income. Noninterest income as a percentage of total revenue totaled 42.1% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 41.8% in the prior quarter.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $58.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2021, an increase of $3.7 million from the prior quarter, primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits expense in our banking segment. Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 also included $1.1 million in merger expenses related to the pending transaction with Pioneer Bancshares, Inc., compared to $0.7 million in the prior quarter. Merger expenses reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.05 for the fourth quarter compared to an impact of $0.04 in the prior quarter.

•Return on average assets of 0.79%
•Return on average equity of 8.37%

Net income totaled $43.2 million, or $2.30 per diluted share, during 2021, compared to $47.6 million, or $2.58 per diluted share, in 2020. The return on average assets was 0.79% during 2021, compared to 1.02% in 2020, and the return on average equity was 8.37% during 2021, compared to 10.20% in 2020.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income totaled $155.2 million during 2021, an increase of $19.3 million compared to 2020. Our net interest margin declined ten basis points to 3.00% in 2021, compared to 2020. Results in 2021, compared to 2020, were driven by an increase in average earning assets of $798.5 million, a decrease of 31 basis points in yield on earning assets and a decrease of 27 basis points in the cost of interest bearing liabilities. Average loans grew by $254.8 million, investment securities declined by $23.2 million and interest bearing cash balances grew by $563.1 million in 2021, compared to 2020. Loan yield increased by ten basis points in 2021, compared to 2020, due to a combination of an improving loan mix, fees from loan prepayments and a decline of $69.3 million in average PPP loan balances, net of deferred fees. The decline in yield on earning assets in 2021, compared to 2020, was primarily due to the increase in average interest bearing cash balances and a decline of 55 basis points in the yield on these cash balances. Our total cost of deposits decreased by 28 basis points to 0.26% in 2021, compared to 2020.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income totaled $124.2 million during 2021, a decrease of $24.1 million from 2020, primarily driven by lower mortgage banking income. Service charges on deposits increased $2.9 million during 2021, compared to 2020, due to increases in both commercial and consumer deposit fees. Trust and investment advisory fees increased $2.6 million during 2021, compared to 2020, primarily due to the revenues associated with our September 2020 acquisition of certain trust and wealth advisory client relationships. Mortgage banking income decreased $35.8 million during 2021, compared to 2020, due primarily to margin compression and its impact on loan sale gains and the pipeline valuation, along with a decline in mortgage servicing asset and hedging valuation impacts. Total mortgage loan originations declined by $192.3 million, or 7.6%, in 2021, compared to 2020, with mortgage loan refinance volumes declining by $387.1 million.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense totaled $224.6 million during 2021, an increase of $20.6 million from 2020, primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits expense in our banking and mortgage banking segments, merger expenses and other administrative costs related to our continued growth. Merger expenses for 2021 were $3.1 million related to our pending transaction with Pioneer Bancshares, Inc. There were no merger expenses incurred in 2020. Merger expenses reduced diluted earnings per share by $0.14 for 2021.
