Notes Bankwell Financial Group President and CEO, Christopher R. Gruseke:
"I offer my thanks and congratulations to our entire team for their commitment to excellence. Even after discounting favorable one-time items, our Company has delivered outstanding results, including an operating ROAA of 1.45%, an ROAE of 16.4%, and an efficiency ratio of 46.6%. Several years ago we put forth a strategic plan to diversify and transform our business model. With careful planning and execution, we are now reaping the benefits of investing in that plan.
"As we look ahead, despite the backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty, our third quarter loan pipeline remains at record levels. It is likely that the economy will experience further volatility in the coming quarters. Nevertheless, we are confident that the business we have built will enable us to continue to deliver above-peer group performance."

Earnings and Performance
Revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $25.0 million, versus $18.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $45.4 million, versus $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to an increase in interest and fees on loans due to loan growth and higher overall loan yields and from lower interest expense on deposits. The increase in loan yields was aided by elevated loan prepayment fees, which totaled $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase in revenues was partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income driven by the absence of rental income recognized during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of the disposition of the Company's former headquarters building. In addition, the increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was also partially offset by a one-time federal payroll tax credit for COVID-19 of $0.9 million recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $12.0 million, versus $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $20.2 million, versus $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net income was primarily impacted by the aforementioned increases in revenues and by a decrease in the provision for loan losses primarily driven by the release of specific reserves on impaired loans that showed improved performance or paid off.
Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.56 and $1.55, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.79 each for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $2.61 and $2.58, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $1.51 and $1.50, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The net interest margin (fully taxable equivalent basis) for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was 4.01% and 3.12%, respectively. The net interest margin (fully taxable equivalent basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was 3.65% and 2.93%, respectively. The increase in the net interest margin was due to lower interest expense from a decrease in rates on interest bearing deposits, elevated loan prepayment fees, and an increase in overall loan yields.
Financial Condition
Assets totaled $2.44 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to assets of $2.46 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in assets was primarily due to a decrease in deposits while excess liquidity funded additional loan growth. Gross loans totaled $2.1 billion at June 30, 2022, an increase of $161.7 million compared to December 31, 2021. Deposits totaled $2.0 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to deposits of $2.1 billion at December 31, 2021.
Capital
Shareholders' equity totaled $225.5 million as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $23.5 million compared to December 31, 2021, primarily a result of (i) net income of $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and (ii) an $8.9 million favorable impact to accumulated other comprehensive income driven by fair value marks related to hedge positions involving interest rate swaps, partially offset by fair value marks on the Company's investment portfolio. The Company's interest rate swaps are used to hedge interest rate risk. The increase in Shareholders' equity was partially offset by dividends paid of $3.1 million and common stock repurchases of $3.8 million.

This press release may contain certain forward-looking statements about the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated future events and can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," or "may." Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include, but are not limited to, increased competitive pressures, changes in the interest rate environment, general economic conditions or conditions within the securities markets, uncertain impacts of, or additional changes in, monetary, fiscal or tax policy to address the impact of COVID-19, which could further exacerbate the effects on the Company's business and results of operations, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business in which the Company and its subsidiaries are engaged.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to evaluating the Company's financial performance in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management may evaluate certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency ratio. A computation and reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used for these purposes is contained in the accompanying Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures tables. We believe that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. For example, the Company believes that the efficiency ratio is useful in the assessment of financial performance, including noninterest expense control. The Company believes that tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, and return on average tangible common equity are useful to evaluate the relative strength of the Company's performance and capital position. We utilize these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and we strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Noninterest income decreased by $0.3 million to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Noninterest income decreased by $1.3 million to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
The decrease in noninterest income was driven by a reduction in loan sales for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same periods in the prior year. Loan sales decreased $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. In addition, noninterest income declined due to the absence of rental income recognized during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of the disposition of the Company's former headquarters building. Noninterest income also declined for the six months ended June 30, 2022 due to a one-time federal payroll tax credit for COVID-19 of $0.9 million recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Noninterest expense increased by $0.9 million to $10.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Noninterest expense increased by $1.2 million to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily driven by an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and professional services expense, partially offset by a decrease in occupancy and equipment expense.
Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.5 million when compared to the same period in 2021. Salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.6 million when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily driven by an increase in full time equivalent employees. Full time equivalent employees totaled 132 at June 30, 2022 compared to 125 for the same period in 2021. Average full time equivalent employees totaled 128 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 124 for the same period in 2021. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was also impacted by an increase in variable compensation accruals as a result of the Bank's overall improved performance. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was partially offset by higher loan originations, which enabled the bank to defer a greater amount of expenses.
Professional services expense totaled $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $0.5 million when compared to the same period in 2021. Professional services expense totaled $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $0.8 million when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in professional services expense was primarily driven by consulting fees associated with various projects, including our core system conversion.
Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.1 million when compared to the same period in 2021. Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.3 million when compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was primarily driven by the curtailment of additional cleaning costs associated with precautions taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
