    Total non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.4 million to $6.9 million from $5.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $0.9 million in loan level derivative income, net, an increase of $0.4 million in other non-interest income, and an increase of $0.2 million in deposit fees, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in loan fees.

Total net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.2 million compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in net charge-offs on equipment financing loans of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in net charge-offs on commercial loans of $0.3 million. The ratio of net loan and lease charge-offs to average loans and leases on an annualized basis decreased to 7 basis points for the second quarter of 2022 from 11 basis points for the first quarter of 2022.

    Non-interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased $2.4 million to $44.9 million from $42.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $1.9 million in compensation and employee benefits expense, an increase of $0.5 million in other non-interest expense, and an increase of $0.5 million in merger and acquisition expense, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in occupancy expense.

    PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

    Certain statements contained in this press release that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We may also make forward-looking statements in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in our annual reports to shareholders, in press releases and other written materials, and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees. You can identify forward looking statements by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “outlook,” “will,” “should,” and other expressions that predict or indicate future events and trends and which do not relate to historical matters, including statements regarding the Company’s business, credit quality, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. Forward-looking statements may differ, possibly materially, from what is included in this press release due to factors and future developments that are uncertain and beyond the scope of the Company’s control. These included, but are not limited to, general business and economic conditions on a national basis and in the local markets in which the Company operates; the Company and PCSB’s ability to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the proposed acquisition; the Company and PCSB’s ability to successfully integrate operations in the proposed acquisition; the effect of the announcement of the proposed acquisition on the ability of PCSB to maintain relationships with its key partners, customers and employees, and on its operating business generally, changes in consumer behavior due to changing political business and economic conditions (including inflation) or legislative or regulatory initiatives; ongoing disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to contain its spread on our employees, customers, business operations, credit quality, financial position, liquidity and results of operations, the possibility that future credit losses may be higher than currently expected; and ongoing turbulence in capital and debt markets. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of, among others, the risks outlined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
