    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 25 أكتوبر 2021 07:30:01   America/New_York

    RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Atlantic Union”) (Nasdaq: AUB) today reported net income available to common shareholders of $71.6 million and basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.94 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. Pre-tax pre-provision adjusted operating earnings(1) were $72.1 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

    Net income available to common shareholders was $207.2 million and basic and diluted earnings per common share were $2.66 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders(1) were $218.8 million, diluted operating earnings per common share(1) were $2.80, and pre-tax pre-provision adjusted operating earnings(1) were $217.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

    “Atlantic Union delivered solid financial results in the third quarter as we continue to see the headwinds from COVID-19 abate,” said John C. Asbury, president and chief executive officer of Atlantic Union. “Loan balances exclusive of PPP declined during the third quarter, which we believe was a combination of historically high levels of commercial real estate pay-offs and suppressed commercial line utilization due to excess liquidity. We have seen a strong start to loan growth in October, our credit quality remains pristine, and our capital and liquidity positions continue to be strong.”

    “As we finish off 2021, we expect economic activity to pick up over the next several quarters and credit losses will remain historically low due to the positive economic outlook. Operating under the mantra of soundness, profitability and growth – in that order of priority - Atlantic Union remains committed to generating sustainable, profitable growth and building long term value for our shareholders.”

    Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)

    The Company participated in the SBA PPP under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, which was intended to provide economic relief to small businesses that had been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 global pandemic (“COVID-19”). The PPP loan funding program expired on May 31, 2021. The Company had PPP loans with a recorded investment of $481.7 million and unamortized deferred fees of $15.1 million as of September 30, 2021. The loans carry a 1% interest rate.

    In addition to an insignificant amount of PPP loan pay offs, the Company has processed $1.7 billion(*) of loan forgiveness on 13,000 PPP loans(*) since the inception of the program through September 30, 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company processed $391.8 million (*) on 3,000 PPP loans for forgiveness.

    Share Repurchase Program

    On May 4, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (or the “Repurchase Program”) to purchase up to $125 million worth of the Company’s common stock in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and/or Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act that was due to expire on June 30, 2022. As part of the Repurchase Program, 1.1 million shares (or $42.3 million) were repurchased during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and 2.3 million shares (or $82.7 million) were repurchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, fully utilizing the $125 million authorized under the Repurchase Program.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    For the third quarter of 2021, net interest income was $137.5 million, a decrease from $140.5 million reported in the second quarter of 2021. Net interest income (FTE)(1) was $140.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of $3.0 million from the second quarter of 2021. The decreases in net interest income and net interest income (FTE) were primarily driven by a decrease in PPP loan accretion included in interest income to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The third quarter net interest margin decreased 10 basis points to 3.05% from 3.15% in the previous quarter, while the net interest margin (FTE)(1) decreased 11 basis points to 3.12% from 3.23% during the same period as earning asset yields declined by 15 basis points compared to the second quarter due to the impact of the low interest rate environment on core loan and investment securities yields and the increase in low yielding cash balances due to excess liquidity, partially offset by a 4 basis point decline in the cost of funds compared to the second quarter driven by lower deposit costs.

    The Company’s net interest margin (FTE) (1) includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. Net accretion related to acquisition accounting was $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The first, second, and third quarters of 2021 and the remaining estimated net accretion impact are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

    ASSET QUALITY

    Overview
    During the third quarter of 2021, nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) as a percentage of loans was consistent with the prior quarter and remained low at 0.28% at September 30, 2021. Accruing past due loan levels as a percentage of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2021 increased 12 basis points as compared to June 30, 2021 and were 5 basis points lower than accruing past due loan levels at September 30, 2020. The increase in past due loan levels from June 30, 2021 was primarily within the 30-59 days past due category and due to increases in past due credit relationships within the commercial & industrial portfolio. Net charge-offs of $113,000 were insignificant and consistent with the second quarter of 2021. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) totaled $109.3 million at September 30, 2021, a $19.0 million decrease from the prior quarter due to lower expected losses than previously estimated and improvements in the macroeconomic outlooks.

    Nonperforming Assets
    At September 30, 2021, NPAs totaled $37.2 million, a decrease of $927,000 from June 30, 2021. NPAs as a percentage of total outstanding loans at September 30, 2021 were 0.28%, consistent with June 30, 2021. Excluding the impact of the PPP loans(1), NPAs as a percentage of total adjusted loans held for investment were 0.29% at September 30, 2021, a decrease of 1 basis point from 0.30% at June 30, 2021.

    Past Due Loans
    Past due loans still accruing interest totaled $38.8 million or 0.30% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2021, compared to $25.1 million or 0.18% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2021, and $50.9 million or 0.35% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2020. The increase in past due loans in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter was primarily within the 30-59 days past due category and due to increases in past due credit relationships within the commercial & industrial portfolio. Of the total past due loans still accruing interest, $11.0 million or 0.08% of total loans held for investment were loans past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2021, compared to $8.7 million or 0.06% of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2021, and $15.6 million or 0.11% of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2020.

    Net Charge-offs
    Including and excluding the impact of the PPP loans (1), net charge-offs totaled $113,000 or less than 0.01% of total average loans (annualized) for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to $69,000 or less than 0.01% for the second quarter of 2021, and $1.4 million or 0.04% for the third quarter of 2020.

    Provision for Credit Losses
    For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $18.8 million, compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $27.4 million in the previous quarter, and which decreased $25.4 million compared to the provision for credit losses of $6.6 million recorded during the same quarter in 2020. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2021 reflected a negative provision of $16.3 million for loan losses and a negative provision of $2.5 million for unfunded commitments. The decrease in the provision for credit losses as compared to the same quarter in 2020 was driven by the benign credit impacts since the pandemic began, the significant recovery in the economy since last year, as well as the improvement in the economic forecast utilized in estimating the ACL as of September 30, 2021.

    Allowance for Credit Losses
    At September 30, 2021, the ACL was $109.3 million and included an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) of $101.8 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments (“RUC”) of $7.5 million. The ACL at September 30, 2021 decreased $19.0 million from June 30, 2021, due to lower expected losses than previously estimated as a result of an improved economic forecast outlook and improvement in credit trends during the third quarter of 2021. The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 0.83% at September 30, 2021 and 0.94% at June 30, 2021. When excluding PPP loans(1), which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the ACL as a percentage of total adjusted loans at September 30, 2021 decreased 14 basis points to 0.86% from the prior quarter.

    At September 30, 2021, the ALLL decreased $16.5 million and the RUC decreased $2.5 million from June 30, 2021. The ALLL as a percentage of the total loan portfolio was 0.77% at September 30, 2021 and 0.86% at June 30, 2021. When excluding PPP loans(1), which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA, the ALLL as a percentage of total adjusted loans decreased 12 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.80% at September 30, 2021.

    NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest income increased $1.5 million to $30.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 from $28.5 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by an increase in the unrealized gain on equity method investments of approximately $1.1 million that is included in other operating income, a $591,000 increase in deposit and other service charges, and increases in mortgage banking income of $199,000 and asset management fees of $210,000. These quarterly increases were partially offset by declines in other non-interest income categories including a $500,000 decrease in income on bank owned life insurance, as life insurance proceeds that were collected during the prior quarter were not matched during the third quarter of 2021.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Noninterest expense increased $3.3 million to $95.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 from $92.0 million in the prior quarter. This increase was mainly due to increases in salaries and benefits of $2.8 million, driven by performance based variable incentive compensation and profit-sharing expenses of $655,000, higher compensation costs of approximately $1.0 million as a result of branch banking pay structure changes made during the third quarter of 2021, and employee related recruiting, severance, and other cost increases of approximately $900,000. In addition, other expenses increased by $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to OREO and related credit expenses increasing by $1.0 million, reflecting the impact of gains on the sale of closed branches recorded as a reduction to other expenses in the prior quarter. Noninterest expense increases were partially offset by declines in professional services fees of $616,000. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 also included approximately $200,000 in expenses related to PPP loan forgiveness processing, compared to approximately $250,000 in expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

    INCOME TAXES

    The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was 18.0%, compared to 18.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to changes in the proportion of tax-exempt income to pre-tax income.

    BALANCE SHEET

    At September 30, 2021, total assets were $19.9 billion, a decrease of $53.7 million or approximately 1.1% (annualized) from June 30, 2021, and an increase of $5.0 million from September 30, 2020. Total assets have remained relatively consistent to these prior periods with loans decreasing due to PPP forgiveness, cash and cash equivalents increasing due to excess liquidity, and net growth in the investment securities portfolio.

    At September 30, 2021, loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs) totaled $13.1 billion, including $466.6 million in PPP loans, a decrease of $558.3 million or 16.2% (annualized) from June 30, 2021, and average loans at September 30, 2021 decreased $520.3 million or 14.8% (annualized) from the prior quarter. Excluding the effects of the PPP(1), loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs) at September 30, 2021 decreased $165.6 million or 5.1% (annualized) from June 30, 2021, and average loans decreased $19.9 million or 0.6% (annualized) from the prior quarter. Loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs) decreased $1.2 billion or 8.6% from September 30, 2020, while quarterly average loans decreased $907.0 million or 6.3% from the same period in the prior year. Excluding the effects of the PPP(1), loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs) at September 30, 2021 decreased $109.7 million or 0.9% from the same period in the prior year, and quarterly average loans during the third quarter of 2021 increased $44.0 million or 0.3% from the same period in the prior year. In addition to an insignificant amount of PPP loan payoffs, the Company processed $391.8 million(*) of loan forgiveness on 3,000 PPP loans(*) during the third quarter of 2021, compared to $705.0 million(*) of loan forgiveness on 5,000 PPP loans(*) during the second quarter of 2021.

    At September 30, 2021, total deposits were $16.6 billion, a decrease of $37.1 million or approximately 0.9% (annualized) from June 30, 2021, and average deposits increased $217.6 million or 5.2% (annualized) from the prior quarter. Deposits at September 30, 2021 increased $1.0 billion or 6.7% from September 30, 2020, and quarterly average deposits at September 30, 2021 increased $1.1 billion or 7.3% from the same period in the prior year. The increases in deposits from the prior year were primarily due to additional liquidity of bank customers due to higher levels of government assistance programs since the start of COVID.

    		These are non-GAAP financial measures. Net interest income (FTE) and total adjusted revenue (FTE), which are used in computing net interest margin (FTE) and adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE), respectively, provide valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the FTE components.
    (2)

    		These are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible assets and tangible common equity are used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible assets, tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses.
    (3)

    		These are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that ROTCE is a meaningful supplement to GAAP financial measures and useful to investors because it measures the performance of a business consistently across time without regard to whether components of the business were acquired or developed internally.
    (4)

    		These are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating measures exclude the gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and gains or losses on sale of securities. The Company believes these non-GAAP adjusted measures provide investors with important information about the combined economic results of the organization’s operations.
    (5)All ratios at September 30, 2021 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9‑C. All other periods are presented as filed.
    (6)These balances reflect the impact of the CARES Act and the Joint Guidance, which provides relief for TDR designations and also provides guidance on past due reporting for modified loans.
    (7)

    		The adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE) excludes the amortization of intangible assets, the gain on sale of securities and gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment). This measure is similar to the measure utilized by the Company when analyzing corporate performance and is also similar to the measure utilized for incentive compensation. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the combined economic results of the organization’s operations.
    (8)

    		This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Pre-tax pre-provision adjusted earnings excludes the provision for credit losses, which can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period under the CECL methodology, income tax expense, gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment), and gains or losses on sale of securities.  The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the combined economic results of the organization’s operations.
    (9)


    		These are non-GAAP financial measures. PPP adjustment impact excludes the SBA guaranteed loans funded during 2020 and 2021.  The Company believes loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs), excluding PPP is useful to investors as it provides more clarity on the Company’s organic growth. The Company also believes that the related non-GAAP financial measures of past due loans still accruing interest as a percentage of total loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs), excluding PPP, are useful to investors as loans originated under the PPP carry an SBA guarantee. The Company believes that the ALLL as a percentage of loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs), excluding PPP, is useful to investors because of the size of the Company’s PPP originations and the impact of the embedded credit enhancement provided by the SBA guarantee.
    (10)Periods ended September 30, 2020 have been restated to adjust for certain mortgage loans held for investment that were previously included.
