Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Thank you, Angie. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. Let's begin on Slide 3, with a brief overview of our financial results. We had a very productive quarter with increased profitability, record high loan originations, further enhanced deposit trends and a significant improvement in our asset quality metrics. We generated net income of $55.5 million in the third quarter or $0.45 per diluted share, up 3% from the preceding quarter. Pre-provision net revenue of $65.4 million represented an increase of 1.4% over the preceding second quarter, and our return on tangible common equity increased at 21 basis points to 13.71% quarter-over-quarter.

New loan production reached a record high and exceeded $1 billion for the first time in our history, up 13% quarter-over-quarter. Our deposit mix continued to shift favorably to lower cost deposits with non-interest bearing deposits increasing 7% quarter-over-quarter and accounting for 40% of total deposits, which is also a record high. As expected, our efforts to de-risk the portfolio impacted growth in our total loans this quarter, although we continue to increase earning assets, which is driving higher net interest income.

Our third quarter results included a $10 million release of our reserve for loan losses, reflecting the progress we have made in moving higher risk loans off our balance sheet and the improved performance we are seeing in our hotel-motel and retail CRE portfolios combined with an improving economy. During the third quarter, we sold $29.6 million of loans and moved another $131.6 million of potentially higher risk loans held for sale at the end of the quarter, contributing to the larger decline in substandard loans during the quarter. At this point, we believe the process of de-risking the loan portfolio has been largely completed and we are not anticipating a material amount of additional strategic loan sales in the fourth quarter. Given what has occurred, we believe we are well positioned to drive organic loan growth and enhance operational profitability in the quarters ahead.

Moving on to Slide 4. As we indicated on our last call, we expected to see an acceleration of loan production as we entered the seasonally stronger second half of the year and economic conditions continue to improve. While the resurgence in COVID-19 cases and supply chain disruptions Impacted the pace of the economic recovery, we were still able to have an exceptionally productive quarter of business development, leading to a record $1 billion in new loan production in this quarter. Compared with the prior quarter, our overall loan production increased by 13% with strong performances occurring in all areas of our business and in each segment we achieved a higher level of production than we had in the preceding second quarter.

In particular, commercial loan production increased 14% quarter-over-quarter to $344 million. Our corporate banking group continues to gain traction and develop new relationships with larger corporate clients, which is driving the higher level of commercial loan production. Excluding PPP loans and strategic loan sales and transfers, our commercial loans outstanding balance would have grown 6% quarter-over-quarter. Over the last year, our corporate banking group has further expanded into telecom and healthcare with the addition of experienced business development and specialized credit teams in each of these verticals. And we are pleased to see the positive impact these teams are making to our overall loan production volumes. This production has been a significant driver of the diversification we have achieved over the last few years and we will continue to opportunistically add experienced teams to supplement our growth.

Our SBA loan production totaled $115 million in the third quarter, which is a record level of non-PPP production. Excluding the impact of PPP and strategic loan sales and transfers, SBA loans in our portfolio would have increased 11% quarter-over-quarter. Our CRE loan production increased 14% quarter-over-quarter. As we have mentioned previously, we are looking to create a more diversified lower risk profile commercial real estate portfolio and have been increasing our focus on multifamily loan origination over the last year. The stronger CRE loan production this quarter is largely attributable to the success we are having with this effort.

New multifamily loans more than doubled quarter-over-quarter and accounted for approximately 12% of our total loan originations in the third quarter. This resulted in 20% growth in this portfolio from the end of the prior quarter. As part of our efforts to increase this loan segment, we recently recruited a highly experienced multifamily team led by an executive who joined us from a large money center bank. This is an attractive product that complements our existing portfolio and improve the diversification and lower level of risk associated with this lending segment are in line with our longer-term strategic initiatives of enhancing franchise value. Overall, excluding PPP loans and the impact of the loan sales and transfers, we would have had total loan growth of 3% quarter-over-quarter or 12% on an annualized basis. This level of loan production is more reflective of the stronger business development capabilities of our franchise.

In terms of our loan modification program granted under the CARES Act, we continue to see a steady decrease in the balances of our active loan modifications. At September 30th, modified loans decreased to below 1% of total loans, down from 2.4% as of June 30 of 2021. Our COVID-19 modifications has been maturing as scheduled and we expect they will wind down to nearly zero by the end of the year.

Now, I will ask Alex to provide additional details on our financial performance for the third quarter. Alex?

Alex Ko -- Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope

Thank you, Kevin. Beginning with Slide 5, I will start our net interest income, which totaled $130.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 3% from $126.6 million in the preceding second quarter. This increase was due to 2% increase in interest income and 8% decrease in interest expense.

During the third quarter of 2021, $236 million of PPP loans were forgiven versus $164 million in the preceding second quarter. The net fee realized from PPP forgiveness was $3.2 million in the third quarter versus $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Our net interest margin decreased 4 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 3.07%. The increase in our net interest margin reflects an 8 basis point negative net interest margin impact from the excess cash as a result of our strong deposit growth. If not for the excess liquidity, we would have had a margin expansion this quarter given the reduction in our cost of deposits and increase in average yield on investment securities, which together had a net positive impact of 6 basis point to our net interest margin. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we expect our net interest margin to remain fairly stable with relative stability in both loan yield and deposit cost. So at this point, we are not expecting to see much margin pressure in the fourth quarter.

Moving on to Slide 6. From a longer-term perspective and looking at the potential for higher interest rates next year, we are well positioned to benefit from higher interest rate environment. Variable rate loans as a percentage of total loans have been trending higher due to our increase in commercial lending and accounted for 41% of our portfolio as of September 30, 2021. Together with a higher trending noninterest-bearing demand deposits, we have steadily become more asset sensitive each quarter of this year.

Now moving on to Slide 7. Our noninterest income was $10.6 million for the 2021 third quarter, down from $11.1 million in the preceding second quarter. Looking at our customer-related fee income and net gain on sale of loans, noninterest income decreased by $300,000. The primary drivers of the decrease included lower loan servicing fees as a result of the higher level of SBA 7(a) loan payoffs and a lower level of the net gain on sale of mortgage loans due to lower volume of loans sold in the quarter.

Moving on to noninterest expense on Slide 8. Our noninterest expense was $75.5 million, representing an increase of 3% from the preceding second quarter. The largest factor contributing to this increase was $4.7 million increase in salaries and employee benefit expense. This was caused by a number of factors, including increased head count and associated increase in base salaries. This largely reflects a new frontline hires, including the multifamily team that Kevin mentioned, as well as wage increases that were necessary to retain existing employees. Second, higher group insurance expense. And finally, an increase in the bonus accrual for the year to reflect the higher than expected financial performance. These increases in the employee costs were partially offset by a lower level of professional fees, primarily resulting from a decline in legal fees along with a non-recurring software impairment charge in the preceding quarter.

Looking into the fourth quarter, we expect noninterest expense will trend downward from the third quarter to our more normalized range of $72 million to $74 million.

Now moving on to Slide 9, I will discuss our deposit trends. We continue to run-off higher costing time deposits and replace them with lower cost deposits through our business development efforts. During the third quarter, our noninterest bearing deposits increased 7% from the end of the prior year quarter, while our time deposits decreased 4%. The increase in our noninterest bearing deposits exceeded the run-off in time deposits, resulting in a 2% increase in total deposits quarter-over-quarter. The cost of our interest-bearing deposits declined 6 basis points quarter-over-quarter and our total cost of deposits decreased 4 basis points. This decrease is represents our eighth consecutive quarters of declining deposit cost.

Now moving on to Slide 10, I will review our asset quality. Non-accrual loans and substandard loans decreased significantly by 51% and 36% respectively from the prior quarter. Non-accrual loans decreased by $57 million quarter-over-quarter due to three primary factors. First, we charged off a large relationship that had moved to non-accrual status in the first quarter of this year. Second, we had a couple of large payoff of non-accrual loans this quarter. And finally, the transfer of loans to held-for-sale also contributed to the decrease in non-accrual loans.

Substandard loans decreased by $137 million quarter-over-quarter as a result of the long sales and transfers as well as the charge-off and the payoff mentioned above. The charged off relationship, combined with the loans that we sold and transfer to loans held-for-sale resulted in an elevated level of charge-offs in the third quarter of 2021, totaling $42.7 million. As previously discussed during our first quarter conference call this year, the relationship there was charged off this quarter is a unique situation with the borrower being involved in a legal dispute.

With regard to the loans transferred to held-for-sale in the third quarter, as of today, we have completed the sales of $69 million of this loans since the quarter end and anticipate that the remaining loans transferred to held-for-sale will be sold during the fourth quarter. The loans transferred to held-for-sale were already contracted for sales at quarter end, and therefore the impact of this future sales have already been reflected in our financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

Now moving on to Slide 11. We recorded a credit for credit losses of $10 million in the third quarter. This reflects our significantly improved asset quality combined with improving economic forecast. The allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2021 was 1.05% excluding PPP loans, compared with 1.47% as of June 30, 2021. The decrease in our ACL coverage ratio mainly reflects an improved macroeconomic forecast, asset quality improvements and a meaningful reduction of problem loans. Our coverage ratio as of September 30, 2021 was slightly higher in comparison with our CECL day one coverage ratio of 0.98% at January 2020, notwithstanding the meaningful shift to a lower risk loan portfolio. On the other hand, our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of non-accrual loans, non-performing assets and non-performing assets all increased significantly quarter-over-quarter.

Now moving on to Slide 12, let me provide on update on our capital position and returns. As of September 30, 2021, we continue to maintain a meaningful amount of excess capital to be utilized for future growth. Tangible common equity per share increased 23 basis points from the quarter -- prior quarter and a 63 basis point year-over-year. Based on our strong capital and the liquidity positions, we maintained our quarterly dividend at $0.14 per share. With a continued strength of our financial performance and capital position, as well as the significantly reduced credit risk in our loan portfolio, we resumed stock buybacks and repurchased $47 million of common stock during the third quarter. This reduced our share, sorry, at least reduced total common stock outstanding by approximately 3.5 million shares, compared with the end of the prior quarter.

With that, let me turn the call back to Kevin.

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Thank you, Alex. Now moving on to Slide 13, let me provide a few comments about our outlook. Our loan pipeline remains robust and we expect to maintain a higher level of production, particularly as many of the new bankers we have added this year continue to gain traction. We also have a good pipeline of new banking talent and we expect to continue making additions on a consistent basis that will further strengthen our commercial banking capabilities, add expertise in new areas and contribute to the further diversification of our loan portfolio in the coming years. With more of our energy focused on growth and business development, we are also investing in geographic areas that we believe can become larger sources of organic growth in the future.

We have had a loan production office in Atlanta for many years and late in the fourth quarter we will be opening our first full service branch in the heart of a rapidly expanding Korean community in Duluth, a nearby suburb of Atlanta. We believe that our larger presence will enable us to better capitalize on the economic growth being experienced in this region as well as expand our efforts to bank the Korean National Corporation in the Southeastern region of the United States. This should all lead to higher levels of loan growth going forward and more opportunities to remix our balance sheet toward higher yielding earning assets, which will positively impact our profitability.

Throughout this year, we have steadily reinvested a portion of the cost savings from efficiency initiatives such as our branch consolidations into strengthening our business development capabilities and we are seeing very positive results from these -- from these efforts. Of the new hires this quarter, approximately 75% are frontline employees, which represents a shift in our workforce more toward revenue generating personnel. Notwithstanding this investments in our organization, we expect to maintain our noninterest expenses within our normalized range.

Following the significant reduction of potential problem loans this quarter, we believe our asset quality will continue to improve in the near term as the U.S. economy, as well as our borrowers continue to recover from the pandemic. Altogether with relatively stable loan yields, deposit costs and net interest margins, we believe we are well poised to drive improved profitability in the coming quarters. And the end result of our efforts will be a stronger franchise with a more diversified high quality loan portfolio, reduce the concentration risk and a lower cost deposit base, which will drive profitable growth and create additional value for the shareholders in the years to come.

With that, we would be happy to take your questions and add any additional color as requested. Operator, please open up the call.

Questions and Answers:

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Our first question will come from Chris McGratty with KBW. Please go ahead.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

Hey, good morning.

Alex Ko -- Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope

Good morning.

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Good morning, Chris.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

Kevin, maybe a question on growth and capital. You guys are very aggressive with the buyback at good valuations. Can you help us with the outlook for additional buybacks given what sounds like an improving growth outlook?

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Well, as we discussed, we were quite active with our current buyback program in the third quarter and we have less than $3 million remaining in that program. So at current valuations along with our strong capital position of Tier 1 common equity ratio in excess of 11%, I think it would be a good idea for us to consider another authorization sometime soon.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

And then could you -- I appreciate the color, Alex, on the expenses near term. Could you help us kind of more broadly, we've heard from a lot of banks about kind of wage pressure given inflation and investment. So more broadly beyond the quarter, how should we be thinking about the cadence of expenses from here?

Alex Ko -- Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope

Yeah, as we reported this quarter, we had a little bit increase on noninterest expense due to the salary and bonuses, which also included a increase on bonus accrual. That was a more kind of catch-up for the first nine months and I don't expect same level of accrual for the bonus is necessary for the Q4. So even though we have a little bit in the higher salary expenses due to the retention of the employees for what's going on with the hiring environment, but anyhow I would expect salary and benefit expense will be decreasing compared to Q3 and all other items I would expect it will be pretty similar level as we have seen in the Q3. So that's why we believe about $72 million to $74 million of run rate is what I would expect.

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Chris, in connection with that subject, I think it is worth mentioning that the current job market is an employee market and the cost to hire an employee is ranging conservatively 10% to 15% higher than our current base salaries for the same position. So the cost to retain and attract employees in the current market is far greater than it was a year ago. So there will certainly be some upward pressure in terms of compensation and benefits. But as Alex mentioned, we will continue to look at other areas where we can enhance efficiencies so that we can manage our noninterest expenses within our more normalized range of $70 million to $74 million.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

That's great color, Kevin. If I could just sneak one in, it's a clarification. The $43 million of charge-offs in the quarter. I'm interested in how that kind of mapped to the large non-accrual, which I think was around 23 or 24 [Phonetic] in the in the first quarter and then the loan sale of 30 [Phonetic] and the transfers of 131 [Phonetic]. I'm just trying to figure out where the loss content was within the three things that you called out. Thanks.

Peter Koh -- Executive Vice President & Chief Credit Officer, Bank of Hope

Hi, this is Peter. I can address that one for you here. So we did have an elevated level of charge-offs this quarter and it really was a combination of various factors, the loan sales, we had the one large relationship as well and a couple of large payoff. We are in the process of multiple workouts with current customers, so we can't share a lot of detail in terms of that breakdown. But we will say that the discounts on the loan side, loan sales side actually we're still very reasonable. We thought that we had a significant amount of reserves attached to those discounts and a good portion of the larger elevated charge-offs was due to the larger relationship that we discussed.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

Okay, thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] Our next question will come from Gary Tenner with D.A. Davidson. Please go ahead.

Gary P. Tennerr -- D. A. Davidson & Co. -- Analyst

Thanks, good morning. A bit of a follow-up I suppose to the last question. But in terms of the property types that were sold in the quarter, if I look at your data that you provide on your tables in terms of the loan sales on by property type other than it appearing that there were some hotel, motel involved in the sales and transfers. I can't -- I can't, it doesn't quite jump out in terms of what other property types were represented there. So could you talk to that point.

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Sure, I can add a little color. So, if you recall the second quarter, we really focused on the hotel, motel space for the loan sales and in the third quarter a smaller portion of the hotel, motel we continue to address, but we actually looked at focus on the retail side as well. So when you look at the overall composition on the CRE side, we looked at the two primary categories where we thought that there was risk stemming from the pandemic, which is the hotel and the retail. So in combination with the loan sales from 2Q and 3Q, we feel confident that we have addressed all the significant kind of concerns. As mentioned in the prepared remarks, we really do feel that with the improving economic conditions and monitoring our underlying borrowers financial performance, which is improving across the board, we thought we felt comfortable reducing levels of reserves and things like that. And to answer your question, it was mostly from the hotel and retail sectors.

Gary P. Tennerr -- D. A. Davidson & Co. -- Analyst

Okay. And obviously, a good portion of your commercial real estate fundings this quarter then were also in the retail property type as well, just given the kind of quarter-over-quarter growth. So you're still comfortable on the space, you just needed a kind of de-risk some specific credits?

Peter Koh -- Executive Vice President & Chief Credit Officer, Bank of Hope

That's correct. So we do, we still are finding good opportunities in the retail sector, but we are looking at that very closely and I do think we will moderate the growth there where we feel that we can -- we can manage the levels. The retail sector has -- is to us a more diversified category than say hotels. There are a lot of underlying cash flows that come from different sectors of the economy. And as you may know, we are focusing on the convenience store type of retail where it is mostly internet resistant and so we are looking at a sort of a recomposition play within the CRE and that I think applies to the retail sector as well.

Gary P. Tennerr -- D. A. Davidson & Co. -- Analyst

Great, thank you for that. In terms of loan sales going going forward, will you be continuing to solve both the SBA and single-family production?

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Yes, we will continue to sell to SBA loans. At this point, we are not expecting any dramatic change in the level of gain on sale of SBA loans. But we have on our books in excess of $280 million of guaranteed portion of SBA loans. So we are keeping a close eye on the secondary market and premiums available in the secondary markets. So -- but currently we don't have any plan to have any dramatic change in the level of gain on sale of SBA loans.

Gary P. Tennerr -- D. A. Davidson & Co. -- Analyst

Okay, and then last question for me. In terms of multifamily business that show good good constraints this quarter, can you tell us specifically the yields in the production in that segment this quarter?

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

I think we all have to take a look at that, I think maybe we can get back to you with the yields there. Multifamily, in general is from a CRE perspective is a slightly lower yielding category, but risk adjusted, I think does make sense for us in terms of our strategic plan.

Gary P. Tennerr -- D. A. Davidson & Co. -- Analyst

Okay, thank you.

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Thank you.

Operator

[Operator Instructions] The next question is a follow-up from Chris McGratty with KBW. Please go ahead.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

Yeah, thanks for the follow-up. The question is, you had a lot of success on the deposit diversification over the last couple of years. I'm interested in kind of your thoughts about sustainability of these really strong growth, in particularly noninterest-bearing and some new verticals, but any thoughts on just deposit growth over the next several quarters?

Alex Ko -- Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope

Yeah, we had a great success especially on the noninterest-bearing deposits. When we look at the composition of that, the increases we see in two types. One, from the institutional from CBG deposits as well as lots of retail deposit increase. And we believe that retail deposits is mainly coming from the government subsidize or PPP, those loans, maybe there is some temporary in nature, so there will be some run-off. I don't think there will be a dramatic run-off for those retail side. And going back to the CBG or institutional noninterest-bearing deposit, we see it's a very stable. So we do not expect a meaningful run-off for that institutional noninterest-bearing deposits. So both combined, we expect there might be some run-off, but we do not expect substantial reduction of our deposit that we grew for the last 18 months or so in the near future.

Christopher McGratty -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods North America -- Analyst

All right, great. Thank you.

Alex Ko -- Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer, Hope Bancorp, Inc. and Bank of Hope

Maybe, Gary [Phonetic] can I get back to you, the multi-family, the yield, we just found out it was around [Indecipherable] yield.

Operator

This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any closing remarks.

Kevin S. Kim -- Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer for Bank of Hope

Okay, once again, thank you all for joining us today. We hope everyone stays safe and healthy until we speak with you again next quarter. So long everyone.
