before provision expense plus noninterest income), at 75.1% and 72.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 3.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net interest margin is affected by changes in the level of interest rates and the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The taxable equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 3.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 14 basis points compared to the 3.45% yield for the same period in 2021. Impacting the yield on interest-earning assets is a $354.5 million decline in average PPP loans, which yield higher rates than the remainder of the loan portfolio due to the recognition of PPP loan deferred processing fees, net of deferred origination costs. As the PPP loans paid off, due to forgiveness by the US Government, the funds were used to fund growth in the loan portfolio. Also impacting the yield on interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.2 million in interest and loan fees recognized when a nonaccrual loan was paid off during the second quarter. The interest and fees collected on this loan increased the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by 2 basis points.

The loan yield for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased 6 basis points compared to the same period in 2021. This increase in loan yield was a result of growth in the loan portfolio as well as increases in interest rates. The loan yield was negatively impacted by a decline in average PPP loans outstanding. These loans, which were originated under the CARES Act, had an average balance of $26.1 million with a stated loan rate of 1% and a yield of 13.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, PPP loans averaged $380.6 million with a yield of 6.72%. The yield on PPP loans includes the recognition of PPP loan deferred processing fees, net of deferred origination costs, of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These amounts are recognized in interest income as a yield adjustment over the life of the loan with accelerated recognition when a loan is forgiven or paid off. As of September 30, 2022, we expect to recognize additional PPP-related deferred processing fees, net of origination costs, of approximately $0.1 million as an adjustment to yield over the remaining terms of the loans. The balance of PPP loans outstanding at September 30, 2022 totaled $4.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PPP loans generated $2.6 million in income compared to $19.1 million during the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, PPP loans increased the yield on total loans and the net interest margin by 4 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively. PPP loans increased both the yield on total loans and the net interest margin by 16 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The investment portfolio yield increased 8 basis points in comparison to the prior year as new volume rates were higher than the portfolio yield. The average investment portfolio balance decreased $23.8 million as maturities and runoff funded loan growth. Interest-bearing deposits with banks, which decreased from $340.9 million in 2021 to $240.5 million in 2022 increased the yield on earning assets by 8 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, from 0.29% for the same period in 2021. This decline is a result of changes in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities as higher costing interest-bearing liabilities, such as time deposits and long-term debt declined on average $112.7 million and $25.4 million, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 6 basis points and short-term borrowings increased 2 basis points in comparison to the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, changes in rates positively impacted net interest income by $6.3 million when compared with the same period in 2021. The higher yield on interest-earning assets, despite lower income on PPP loans, positively impacted net interest income by $5.0 million, while the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $1.3 million.

Changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities positively impacted net interest income by $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Higher levels of interest-earning assets resulted in an increase of $8.3 million in interest income, and changes in the volume and mix of interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by $1.2 million, primarily due to decreases in the cost of long-term debt and time deposits. Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $168.8 million, or 2.0%, compared to the same period in 2021. Average loans for the comparable period increased $293.0 million, or 4.3%.

Net interest income also benefited from a $108.3 million increase in average net free funds at September 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021. Average net free funds are the excess of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, other noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity over noninterest-earning assets. The largest component of the increase in net free funds was an increase of $145.4 million, or 5.7%, in noninterest-bearing demand deposit average balances. Average time deposits for the
