Eagle Bancorp Montana Earns $3.1 Million, or $0.40 per Diluted Share, in Third Quarter of 2022; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.1375 per Share

HELENA, Mont., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBMT), (the “Company,” “Eagle”), the holding company of Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $3.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter, and $4.7 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the third quarter a year ago. Second quarter 2022 results were impacted by $1.9 million in acquisition costs associated with its merger of First Community Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiary, First Community Bank (“First Community”). In the first nine months of 2022, net income was $7.1 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to $12.7 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2021. Year-to-date results included $2.3 million in acquisition costs related to the First Community acquisition, compared to $35,000 in acquisition related expenses during the first nine months of 2021.

Eagle’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.1375 per share on October 20, 2022. The dividend will be payable December 2, 2022 to shareholders of record November 10, 2022. The current dividend represents an annualized yield of 2.95% based on recent market prices.

“We delivered solid earnings for the third quarter highlighted by strong organic loan growth and significant non-interest income generation,” said Peter J. Johnson, CEO. “Third quarter loan growth totaled $61.2 million and was well diversified across all of our loan categories. Additionally, our net interest margin improved both year-over-year and on a linked quarter basis as we took advantage of interest rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve. We remain well positioned for growth throughout the rest of the year.”

“In addition to delivering solid organic growth, we are excited to report our first full quarter reflecting our successful merger with First Community. It has been a smooth integration of our banks and we welcome First Community customers, employees and shareholders to our Eagle family,” said Laura F. Clark, President. “We completed the First Community acquisition in the middle of the second quarter of 2022, and the acquisition is already contributing nicely to our operating results. We look forward to the opportunities this merger provides for continued long-term growth.”

Eagle closed its acquisition of First Community on April 30, 2022, in a transaction valued at approximately $38.6 million. The acquisition added approximately $370 million in assets, $321 million in deposits and $191 million in loans.

Shareholders’ equity was $151.3 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $156.5 million a year earlier and $162.8 million three months earlier. Tangible book value was $13.60 per share, at September 30, 2022, compared to $19.74 per share a year earlier and $14.82 per share three months earlier.  

Operating Results
“Higher yields on interest earning assets contributed to NIM expansion during the third quarter, expanding nine basis points compared to the preceding quarter and 31 basis points compared to the third quarter a year ago,” said Johnson. “With the additional 150 basis point rate increases enacted by the Federal Reserve during the third quarter, we anticipate continued improvement in our NIM in future quarters.”  

Eagle’s NIM was 4.18% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 4.09% in the preceding quarter, and 3.87% in the third quarter a year ago. The interest accretion on acquired loans totaled $392,000 and resulted in a nine basis-point increase in the NIM during the third quarter of 2022, compared to $790,000 and a 20 basis-point increase in the NIM during the preceding quarter. Average yields on interest earning assets for the third quarter increased to 4.52% from 4.12% a year ago. For the first nine months of 2022, the NIM expanded 12 basis points to 4.00%, compared to the same period one year earlier.

Eagle’s third quarter revenues increased 8.6% to $25.3 million, compared to $23.3 million in the preceding quarter and decreased modestly compared to $25.4 million in the third quarter a year ago. In the first nine months of 2022, revenues were $68.8 million, compared to $72.5 million in the first nine months of 2021. The decrease for the first nine months of the year compared to the respective period a year ago was largely due to lower mortgage volumes.

Net interest income, before the loan loss provision, increased 12.0% to $17.9 million in the third quarter, compared to $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, and increased 48.7% compared to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Year-to-date, net interest income, before the loan loss provision, increased 32.5% to $45.7 million, compared to $34.5 million in the same period one year earlier.

Eagle’s total noninterest income increased 1.0% to $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $7.3 million in the preceding quarter, and decreased 44.5% compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter a year ago. Net mortgage banking, the largest component of noninterest income, totaled $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $5.5 million in the preceding quarter and $11.7 million in the third quarter a year ago. Other noninterest income includes $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $361,000 for the third quarter of 2021 related to commodity sales income from Eagle’s subsidiary Western Financial Services (“WFS”). WFS facilitates deferred payment contracts for customers that produce agricultural products. The corresponding commodity sales expense is included in other noninterest expense. In the first nine months of 2022, noninterest income decreased 39.4% to $23.1 million, compared to $38.1 million in the first nine months of 2021. Net mortgage banking decreased 51.5% to $16.2 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $33.4 million in the first nine months of 2021. Decreases in net mortgage banking were largely driven by reduced mortgage volumes. Other noninterest income includes $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $962,000 for the first nine months of 2021 related to commodity sales income for WFS.

Third quarter noninterest expense increased to $20.7 million, compared to $20.0 million in the preceding quarter and $18.8 million in the third quarter a year ago. Acquisition costs related to the merger with First Community totaled $103,000 for the current quarter, compared to $1.9 million in the prior quarter and $35,000 one year ago. Other noninterest expense includes $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $361,000 for the third quarter of 2021 related to commodity sales expense for WFS. Year-to-date, noninterest expense increased to $57.7 million, compared to $55.1 million in same period a year ago. Salaries and employee benefits expense were down overall due to lower commissions for residential mortgage originations. However, acquisition costs were $2.3 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to $35,000 in the first nine months of 2021. In addition, other noninterest expense includes $2.1 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $962,000 for the first nine months of 2021 related to commodity sales expense for WFS.

For the third quarter of 2022, the income tax provision totaled $1.0 million, for an effective tax rate of 25.0%, compared to $634,000 in the preceding quarter, and $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2021.

Credit Quality
The loan loss provision was $517,000 in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $858,000 in the preceding quarter and $255,000 in the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for loan losses represented 306.4% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2022, compared to 233.3% three months earlier and 156.3% a year earlier. Nonperforming loans decreased to $4.5 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $5.7 million at June 30, 2022, and $7.8 million a year earlier.

Eagle had no other real estate owned and other repossessed assets on its books at September 30, 2022. This compared to $345,000 at June 30, 2022, and $117,000 at September 30, 2021.

Net loan recoveries totaled $8,000 in the third quarter of 2022, compared to net loan charge-offs of $233,000 in the preceding quarter and net loan recoveries of $45,000 in the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for loan losses was $13.9 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at September 30, 2022, compared to $13.3 million, or 1.07% of total loans, at June 30, 2022, and $12.2 million, or 1.38% of total loans, a year ago.  

Capital Management
The ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity (shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangible) to tangible assets (total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangible) decreased to 5.77% at September 30, 2022 from 6.45% at June 30, 2022. Shareholders’ equity was reduced during the third quarter due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities available-for-sale. These unrealized losses were primarily a result of increased interest rates. As of September 30, 2022, Eagle’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements and is deemed well capitalized. Eagle’s Tier 1 capital to adjusted total average assets was 7.78% as of September 30, 2022.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements of our goals, intentions and expectations; statements regarding our business plans, prospects, mergers, growth and operating strategies; statements regarding the current global COVID-19 pandemic, statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States, or GAAP, the Financial Ratios and Other Data contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP disclosures include: 1) core efficiency ratio, 2) tangible book value per share, 3) tangible common equity to tangible assets, 4) earnings per diluted share, excluding acquisition costs and 5) return on average assets, excluding acquisition costs. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and performance trends, and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. In particular, the use of tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts.

The numerator for the core efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting acquisition costs and intangible asset amortization from noninterest expense. Tangible assets and tangible common shareholders’ equity are calculated by excluding intangible assets from assets and shareholders’ equity, respectively. For these financial measures, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. We believe that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and present this measure to facilitate the comparison of the quality and composition of our capital over time and in comparison, to our competitors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders’ equity determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.

costs and intangible asset amortization, by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.
** The tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing shareholders' equity,
less goodwill and core deposit intangible, by common shares outstanding.
*** The tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated by dividing shareholders'
equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangible, by total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangible.
