    Total non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 decreased $5.2 million to $5.5 million from $10.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $3.3 million in loan level derivative income, net, a decrease of $1.6 million in gain on sales of loans and leases, a decrease of $0.5 million in other non-interest income, and a decrease of $0.1 million in deposit fees, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in loan fees.

    The Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Total net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2022 were $1.9 million compared to $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Total nonaccrual loans and leases decreased $7.0 million to $25.5 million at March 31, 2022 from $32.5 million at December 31, 2021. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.31 percent at March 31, 2022, a decrease from 0.39 percent at December 31, 2021.

    From March 1, 2020 through January 1, 2022, a financial institution may elect to suspend the requirements under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructured, including impairment accounting. This troubled debt restructuring relief applies for the term of the loan modification that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. Financial institutions are required to maintain records of the volume of loans involved in modifications to which troubled debt restructuring relief is applicable. As of March 31, 2022, approximately 98 percent of loans granted an initial loan payment deferral have returned to payment status and 69 credits totaling $15.0 million, or 0.2 percent of total loans outstanding, are operating under modified terms.

    NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

    Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 decreased $0.4 million to $42.5 million from $42.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $1.7 million in compensation and employee benefits expense and a decrease of $0.4 million in other non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in occupancy expense, an increase of $0.5 million in equipment and data processing expense, an increase of $0.4 million in advertising and marketing expense, and an increase of $0.1 million in FDIC insurance expense.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    The effective tax rate was 25.2 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 25.9 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 24.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

    RETURNS ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND AVERAGE EQUITY

    The annualized return on average assets decreased to 1.16 percent during the first quarter 2022 from 1.35 percent for the fourth quarter of 2021.
