QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS (1stQuarter 2024 versus 4thQuarter 2023)

  • Noninterest income increased $0.9 million, or 5.5%, due to higher mortgage banking revenues and wealth management fees

Discussion of Operating Results

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Tax-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $38.4 million, compared to $39.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $40.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. Compared to both prior periods, the decline was primarily attributable to an increase in deposit interest expense, partially offset by higher loan interest income. The increase in deposit interest expense was primarily attributable to higher average money market balances and to a lesser extent certificates of deposit (“CD”) balances and reflected a combination of re-mix from other deposit categories and higher rates for these products. The increase in loan interest income reflected existing loans re-pricing at higher rates and new loan volume at higher rates. Further, the first quarter of 2024 had one less calendar day compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and one additional calendar day compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2024 was 4.01%, a decrease of six basis points from the fourth quarter of 2023 and a decrease of three basis points from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease compared to both prior periods primarily reflected higher deposit cost related to re-mix within the deposit base and higher rates paid on deposits, partially offset by higher yields from new loan volume and loan repricing at higher rates. For the first quarter of 2024, our cost of funds was 88 basis points, an increase of 15 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2023 and an increase of 53 basis points over the first quarter of 2023. Our cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing accounts) was 85 basis points, 66 basis points, and 26 basis points, respectively, for the same periods.

Provision for Credit Losses

We recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in the provision compared to both prior periods was primarily attributable to a lower level of reserves required for new loans, favorable loan grade migration, and lower loss rates. We discuss the allowance for credit losses further below.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $18.1 million compared to $17.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2023. The $0.9 million increase over the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to a $0.5 million increase in mortgage banking revenues and a $0.4 million increase in wealth management fees. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the $0.3 million increase was primarily attributable to higher wealth management fees of $0.7 million partially offset by lower other income of $0.3 million. For both prior period comparisons, the increase in mortgage banking revenues reflected a higher volume of rate locks and third-party loan sales. A combination of higher trust fees, retail brokerage fees, and insurance commissions drove the increase in wealth management fees over the fourth quarter of 2023. Higher retail brokerage fees of $0.4 million and trust fees of $0.2 million drove the increase over the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in other income was primarily due to lower loan servicing income and miscellaneous income.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2024 totaled $40.2 million compared to $40.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $37.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. The $0.2 million increase over the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected a $0.6 million increase in compensation expense that was partially offset by decreases in occupancy expense of $0.1 million and other expense of $0.3 million. The increase in compensation expense was primarily attributable to higher payroll taxes (annual re-set) and 401k plan matching expense. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the $2.5 million increase reflected higher other expense as we realized a $1.8 million gain from the sale of other real estate (banking office) in the first quarter of 2023. Further, compensation expense was $0.9 million higher primarily due to a lower level of realized loan cost (credit offset to salary expense) due to decreased new loan production.

Income Taxes

We realized income tax expense of $3.5 million (effective rate of 23.0%) for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.9 million (effective rate of 20.3%) for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $3.7 million (effective rate of 21.3%) for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 compared to both prior periods was primarily due to a lower level of tax benefit accrued from an investment in a solar tax credit equity fund. Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate 23% for 2024.

Discussion of Financial Condition

Earning Assets

Average earning assets totaled $3.850 billion for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $25.6 million, or 0.7%, over the fourth quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $213.1 million, or 5.2%, from the first quarter of 2023. The variance for both prior period comparisons was driven by change in deposit balances (see below – Deposits). Compared to both prior periods, the mix of earning assets improved as overnight funds were utilized to fund loan growth.

Average loans held for investment (“HFI”) increased $17.4 million, or 0.6%, over the fourth quarter of 2023 and $146.2 million, or 5.7%, over the first quarter of 2023. Compared to both prior periods, the increase was primarily due to an increase in residential loans partially offset by a decline in consumer loans (primarily auto). Period end loans decreased $2.7 million, or 0.1%, from the fourth quarter of 2023 and increased $74.0 million, or 2.8%, over the first quarter of 2023. The decrease from the fourth quarter of 2023 was primarily due to lower consumer (auto) loan portfolio balances partially offset by growth in residential loans. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the increase reflected growth in residential loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate loans partially offset by lower consumer (auto) loan balances.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At March 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses for HFI loans totaled $29.3 million compared to $29.9 million at December 31, 2023 and $26.8 million at March 31, 2023. Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 9. The decrease in the allowance from December 31, 2023 was primarily due to favorable loan grade migration, lower loss rates, and a combination of lower loan balances and shift in mix within the portfolio. Compared to March 31, 2023, the increase was primarily driven by loan growth. At March 31, 2024, the allowance represented 1.07% of HFI loans compared to 1.10% at December 31, 2023, and 1.01% at March 31, 2023.

Credit Quality

Overall credit quality remained stable. Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.8 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $6.2 million at December 31, 2023 and $4.6 million at March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2024, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets equaled 0.16%, compared to 0.15% at December 31, 2023 and 0.10% at March 31, 2023. Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.8 million at March 31, 2024, a $0.6 million increase over December 31, 2023 and a $2.2 million increase over March 31, 2023. Further, classified loans totaled $22.3 million at March 31, 2024, a $0.1 million increase over December 31, 2023 and a $10.1 million increase over March 31, 2023.

Deposits

Average total deposits were $3.577 billion for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $28.0 million, or 0.8%, over the fourth quarter of 2023 and a decrease of $240.8 million, or 6.3%, from the first quarter of 2023. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the increase reflected a higher average balance for public funds (municipal clients – primarily NOW accounts) which typically peak late in the fourth quarter. Further, we realized growth in both our money market and CD balances which reflected a combination of balances migrating from noninterest bearing and savings accounts, in addition to receiving new deposits from existing and new clients. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the decrease was primarily attributable to lower noninterest bearing and savings accounts, partially offset by increases in money market and CD balances. The decrease in noninterest bearing and savings accounts reflected a combination of consumer/business spend of pandemic related stimulus funds and rate sensitive clients seeking higher yields, partially offset by the aforementioned migration to higher rate deposit products (money market and CD). We continue to closely monitor our cost of deposits and deposit mix as we manage through this higher interest rate environment.

Liquidity

The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold position of $140.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $99.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $361.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, the increase was driven by average deposit growth and investment portfolio run-off, partially offset by average loan growth. Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the decrease was attributable to lower average deposit balances and growth in our loan portfolio, partially offset by investment portfolio run-off.

At March 31, 2024, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.542 billion (excludes overnight funds position of $231 million) in additional liquidity through various sources including various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window, and brokered deposits.

We also view our investment portfolio as a liquidity source as we have the option to pledge securities in our portfolio as collateral for borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities in our portfolio. Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities. At March 31, 2024, the weighted-average maturity and duration of our portfolio were 2.76 and 2.39 years, respectively, and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized tax-effected loss of $26.0 million.

Capital

Shareowners’ equity was $448.3 million at March 31, 2024 compared to $440.6 million at December 31, 2023 and $403.3 million at March 31, 2023. For the first three months of 2024, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable to shareowners of $12.6 million, net adjustments totaling $0.6 million related to transactions under our stock compensation plans, stock compensation accretion of $0.4 million, and a $0.3 million increase in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt. Shareowners’ equity was reduced by a common stock dividend of $3.6 million ($0.21 per share), the repurchase of stock of $2.3 million (82,540 shares), and a $0.3 million increase in the net unrealized loss on available for sale securities.

At March 31, 2024, our total risk-based capital ratio was 16.84% compared to 16.57% at December 31, 2023 and 15.29% at March 31, 2023. Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 13.82%, 13.52%, and 12.40%, respectively, on these dates. Our leverage ratio was 10.45%, 10.30%, and 9.09%, respectively, on these dates. At March 31, 2024, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the thresholds to be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards. Further, our tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 8.53% at March 31, 2024 compared to 8.26% and 7.20% at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. If our unrealized held-to-maturity securities losses of $21.6 million (after-tax) were recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be 8.01%.
