Results of Operations Net interest income for the fourth quarter increased $1.5 million to $64.6 million from $63.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 2.3%. The increase reflected primarily a 3.2% increase in average loans as the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits essentially offset the increase in average loan yields. Average loans were $5.88 billion for the 2022 fourth quarter compared with $5.70 billion for the 2022 third quarter. The yield on average loans for the 2022 fourth quarter increased 54 basis points to 5.21% from 4.67% for the 2022 third quarter while the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 92 basis points to 1.70% from 0.78% for the 2022 third quarter. Fourth quarter loan prepayment fees were $0.1 million compared with $0.2 million for the third quarter. Net interest margin (taxable-equivalent) for the fourth quarter was 3.67% compared with 3.66% for the third quarter of 2022.
Net interest income was $237.6 million for the full year 2022 compared with $195.1 million for 2021, up 21.8%. The increase reflected the rise in the general level of interest rates during 2022 as well as the increase in average interest-earning assets and the change in asset composition to higher-yielding loans from lower-yielding deposits at banks. Average interest-earning assets for the full year 2022 increased 7.2% to $6.80 billion from $6.34 billion for 2021. Average loans for the full year 2022 were $5.60 billion, up 16.7% from $4.79 billion for 2021 while average interest-bearing deposits at banks were $236.7 million, down 65.4% from $684.4 million. The yield on average loans for the full year 2022 increased 26 basis points to 4.61% from 4.35% for 2021. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the full year 2022 increased 43 basis points to 0.79% from 0.36% for 2021. Full year 2022 loan prepayment fees were $1.3 million compared with $0.9 million for 2021. Net interest margin (taxable-equivalent) for the full year 2022 was 3.50% compared with 3.08% for 2021. The 42 basis point increase in the net interest margin reflected the increase in average loan yields, partially offset by the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Credit loss expense for the fourth quarter was $0.1 million and included a $0.2 million provision for loan losses and a $0.1 million recovery for off-balance sheet items. The fourth quarter also included a recovery of an SBA guarantee repair loss allowance of less than $0.1 million. For the third quarter, credit loss expense was $0.6 million and included a $0.4 million negative provision for loan losses and a $1.0 million provision for off-balance sheet items.
Credit loss expense was $0.8 million for the full year 2022 compared to a credit loss recovery of $24.4 million for 2021. The full year 2022 credit loss expense included a $0.3 million provision for loan losses and a $0.5 million provision for off-balance sheet items. The credit loss expense recovery for 2021 was comprised of a $24.1 million recovery for credit losses, a $0.2 million recovery for off-balance sheet items and $1.7 million recovery for accrued interest receivable for loans currently or previously modified under the CARES Act, offset by $1.6 from an SBA guarantee repair loss allowance.
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter declined $1.4 million to $7.5 million from $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decline reflected a $0.6 million decrease in all other operating income, a $0.3 million decrease in gains on the sale of SBA 7(a) loans, a $0.2 million decrease in service charges on deposits, and a $0.3 million valuation adjustment to bank-owned life insurance. All other operating income declined primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease from the third quarter gain realized on the disposition of a lease residual. The volume of SBA loans sold in the fourth quarter declined to $40.9 million from $43.7 million for the third quarter and trade premiums also declined to 5.99% for the fourth quarter from 6.67% for the third quarter.
Noninterest income was $34.2 million for the full year 2022 compared with $40.5 million for 2021, down 15.5% primarily due to the $7.8 million decline in the gain on sale of SBA loans. The volume of SBA loans sold for the full year 2022 declined to $156.1 million from $261.8 million for the full year 2021. Full year 2021 SBA loan sales included $132.7 million of second-draw PPP loans sold for gains of $3.0 million.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter increased $0.5 million to $33.8 million from $33.3 million for the third quarter of 2022. The increase reflected a $0.9 million increase in salaries and benefits mostly due to adjustments to incentive compensation, which was offset by a $1.1 million decrease in occupancy and equipment largely due to adjustments to real property taxes on leased and owned premises. In addition, other operating expenses included a $0.4 million servicing asset valuation adjustment while changes in activity levels contributed to the $0.5 million increase in professional fees and a $0.2 million decrease in advertising and promotion. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased slightly to 46.99%, from 46.22% for the prior quarter.
Noninterest expense was $130.3 million for the full year 2022 compared with $124.5 million for 2021, up 4.7%. The increase reflected a $3.6 million, or 4.9% increase in salaries and benefits, a $1.8 million increase in other operating expenses, a $1.1 million increase in data processing expenses and a $1.0 million increase in advertising and promotion offset by a $1.4 million decrease in occupancy and equipment. The efficiency ratio for the full year 2022 was 47.93%, compared with 52.84% for 2021 (54.01% excluding securities gains and deferred origination costs on second-draw PPP loans).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio
Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is supplemental financial information determined by a method other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This non-GAAP measure is used by management in the analysis of Hanmi’s capital strength. Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Banking and financial institution regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure excluding the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the capital strength of Hanmi. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
The following table reconciles this non-GAAP performance measure to the GAAP performance measure for the periods indicated:
