Positive Outlook
- Non-PPP portfolio to have growth in general Middle Market and several other business lines, partly offset by a decline in Mortgage Banker Finance.
- Deposits to remain strong.
- Strong credit quality continues.
- Growth in several customer-related fee categories
- Income tax expense for full-year 2021 to be between 22 and 23 percent of pre-tax income, excluding discrete items.
Challenges Ahead
- This growth is expected to be more than offset by forgiveness of the bulk of PPP loans.
- Non-PPP portfolio to have lower loan fees from elevated levels mostly offset by loan growth; this is expected to be more than offset by lower PPP-related income.
- More than offset by lower commercial loan fees and warrant and BOLI income.
