Positive Outlook
- Loan growth is expected to continue driving revenue.
- Anticipate margin expansion in the third quarter.
- Hiring model will continue to provide opportunities to add revenue producers.
- Compensation costs increased due primarily to increased headcount, annual merit raises and higher incentive accruals.

Challenges Ahead
- Inflation is prompting urgent action by the Fed and increasing the likelihood of recession.

- BHG's decision to place more loans into their auction platform in the second quarter than they would have otherwise anticipated is likely to negatively impact BHG's results in the second half of 2022.
- Expect a more difficult economic landscape in the second half of the year.
