المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 27 يوليو 2021 16:35:01 America/New_York
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., July 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ GS: HBNC) — Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”) announced its unaudited financial results for the three and six months ending June 30, 2021.
“Horizon achieved strong earnings in the second quarter, along with increased non–interest income, stable net interest income, lower deposit costs and strong asset quality metrics,” Chairman and CEO Craig M. Dwight said. “With an improving commercial lending pipeline, and ample liquidity and capital, Horizon is very well positioned for loan growth more in line with historic levels in a recovering economy. We also continue to focus on disciplined management of our highly efficient operations and initiated plans to consolidate 10 locations this summer, reassigning employees to other open positions and investing savings into digital capabilities and opportunities in our growing Indiana and Michigan markets. We also announced the acquisition of 14 Michigan branches to extend our low–cost deposit franchise in a financially and strategically attractive transaction that is on schedule for completion during the third quarter.”
Second Quarter 2021 Highlights
- Net income grew to a record $22.2 million, up 8.6% from the linked quarter and 51.5% from the year–ago period. Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.50 includes the $0.01 after–tax impact of expenses associated with Horizon’s agreement to acquire 14 TCF National Bank branches, approximately $976 million in deposits and approximately $278 million in loans in a financially and strategically attractive extension of Horizon’s low–cost deposit franchise in Michigan, announced in the quarter. EPS was $0.46 for the first quarter of 2021 and $0.33 for the second quarter of 2020.
- Pre–tax, pre–provision net income grew to a second–quarter record $24.5 million, up 0.9% from the linked quarter and 3.2% from the year–ago period. This non–GAAP financial measure is utilized by banks to provide a greater understanding of pre–tax profitability before giving effect to credit loss expense. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Pre–Tax, Pre–Provision Income” table below.)
- Net interest income was $42.6 million for the quarter, compared to $42.5 million for the first quarter of 2021 and $43.0 million for the second quarter of 2020. Reported net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.14% and adjusted NIM was 3.13%, with reported NIM declining by 15 basis points and adjusted NIM decreasing by four basis points from the first quarter of 2021. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Net Interest Margin” table for the definition of this non–GAAP calculation of adjusted NIM.) An estimated seven basis points attributed to Federal Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) lending improved the margin, offset by an estimated 21 basis point compression attributed to excess liquidity held during the quarter, for both NIM and adjusted NIM.
- Horizon’s in–market consumer and commercial deposit relationships, combined with strategic pricing moves to manage deposit growth and runoff of higher–priced time deposits, contributed to continued improvement in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, which declined to 0.45% in the quarter, compared to 0.50% in the first quarter of 2021 and 0.74% in the second quarter of 2020.
- Non–interest expense was $33.4 million in the quarter, or 2.18% of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $32.2 million, or 2.20%, in the first quarter of 2021 and $30.4 million, or 2.18%, in the second quarter of 2020.
- The efficiency ratio for the period was 57.73% compared to 57.03% for the first quarter of 2021 and 56.23% for the second quarter of 2020. The adjusted efficiency ratio was 57.45% compared to 57.97% for the first quarter of 2021 and 56.49% for the second quarter of 2020. (See the “Non-GAAP Calculation and Reconciliation of Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Efficiency Ratio” table below.)
- Horizon experienced an increased return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.45% and return on average common equity (“ROACE”) of 12.59% in the quarter, as well as adjusted ROAA of 1.46% and adjusted ROACE of 12.61%, excluding the impact of acquisition expenses and prepayment penalties, net of tax, and death benefits on bank owned life insurance. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Return on Average Assets” and the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Return on Average Common Equity” tables below.)
- Horizon recorded a provision release of $1.5 million and maintained solid asset quality metrics at period end, including non–performing loans declining 10.9% during the quarter to $22.3 million, or 0.63% of total loans, substandard loans declining 4.6% to $82.5 million, or 2.3% of total loans, net charge–offs declining 81.3% to $39,000, or 0.00% of average loans for the period, and COVID–19 deferrals declining 42.7% to $52.5 million, or 1.5% of total loans.
- Total non–interest income grew to $15.2 million, up 9.6% from the linked quarter and 36.7% from the year–ago period, due to favorable impact of mortgage production, bank owned life insurance, banking fees and fiduciary activities. Following record residential lending in 2020, mortgage–related non–interest income remained strong in the second three months of 2021, with gain on mortgage loan sales of $5.6 million and net mortgage servicing income of $1.5 million. The Horizon Bank (the “Bank”) originated $173.0 million in mortgage loans during the quarter, with 61% of volume from purchases, as Horizon continued to focus residential lending on prime borrowers in Indiana and Michigan markets.
- Loans, excluding PPP lending, totaled $3.36 billion on June 30, 2021, were lower reflecting cash reserves maintained by many current and prospective commercial borrowers and retail households through the quarter. Loans, excluding PPP lending, totaled $3.42 billion on March 31, 2021 and $3.69 billion on June 30, 2020.
- Horizon’s book value per share and tangible book value per share increased to all–time highs of $16.16 and $12.24, respectively. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Tangible Stockholders’ Equity and Tangible Book Value per Share” table below.)
- As part of the Company's annual branch performance review and a third–party analysis of the Bank's retail network, Horizon's Board of Directors approved the permanent closure of nine Indiana branch locations and one in Michigan to occur on August 27, 2021.
- Horizon increased cash dividends paid in the quarter by 8.3% to $0.13 per share, as previously announced. As of June 30, 2021, in excess of $129 million in cash was maintained at the holding company, providing considerable future optionality to build shareholder value.
Summary
For the Three Months Ended June 30, March 31, June 30, Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin 2021 2021 2020 Net interest income $ 42,632 $ 42,538 $ 42,996 Net interest margin 3.14 % 3.29 % 3.47 % Adjusted net interest margin 3.13 % 3.17 % 3.35 % “Expected net interest margin compression in the second quarter continued to reflect pressure on total earning assets as we invested significant liquidity in lower–yielding assets. This was partially offset by a four basis point increase in average loan yields and a five basis point reduction in our already low average cost of interest bearing liabilities,” Mr. Dwight commented.
“We continue to believe that Horizon's ample liquidity and capital positions us well to quickly respond to both commercial and consumer credit needs that we expect to accelerate as stimulus dollars are spent down and a recovering economy enhances demand.”

Income Statement Highlights
Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $22.2 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share, compared to $20.4 million, or $0.46, for the linked quarter and $14.6 million, or $0.33, for the prior year period. This represents the highest quarterly net income in the Company’s history, even with the $0.01 after tax effect of second quarter 2021 acquisition expenses.
Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $22.2 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share, compared to $19.7 million, or $0.44, for the linked quarter and $14.4 million, or $0.32, for the prior year period. Adjusted net income, which is not calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is a measure that Horizon uses to provide a greater understanding of operating profitability.
The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the first quarter of 2021 reflects an increase in non–interest income of $1.3 million, a decrease of $1.9 million in credit loss expense and an increase in net interest income of $94,000, offset by an increase in non–interest expense of $1.2 million and an increase in income tax expense of $320,000.
Interest income includes the recognition of PPP interest and net loan processing fees totaling $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $3.2 million in the linked quarter. On June 30, 2021, the Company had $5.7 million in deferred PPP loan processing fees outstanding and $169.4 million in PPP loans outstanding. PPP deferred fees and loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 were $7.3 million and $252.3 million, respectively. The processing fees are deferred and recognized over the contractual life of the loan, or accelerated at forgiveness.
Second quarter 2021 income from the gain on sale of mortgage loans totaled $5.6 million, up from $5.3 million in the linked quarter and down from $6.6 million in the prior year period.
Non–interest expense of $33.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 reflected an $859,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, an increase of $518,000 in outside services and consultants, an increase of $309,000 in other expenses, an increase of $285,000 in loan expenses and $242,000 in acquisition expenses, offset by a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance expense of $300,000, a decrease in other losses of $277,000 and a decrease in net occupancy expenses of $234,000, from the linked quarter.
The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the same prior year period reflects an increase in non–interest income of $4.1 million and a decrease in credit loss expense of $8.5 million, offset by an increase in non–interest expense of $3.0 million, an increase in income tax expense of $1.8 million and a decrease in net interest income of $364,000.
Net income for the first six months of 2021 was $42.6 million, or $0.97 diluted earnings per share, compared to $26.3 million, or $0.59 diluted earnings per share, for the first six months of 2020. Adjusted net income for the first six months of 2021 was $41.9 million, or $0.95 diluted earnings per share, compared to $25.6 million, or $0.57 diluted earnings per share, for the first six months of 2020. The increase in net income for the first six months of 2021 when compared to the same prior year period reflects a decrease in credit loss expense of $16.8 million, an increase in non–interest income of $5.9 million and an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million, offset by an increase in non–interest expense of $4.0 million and an increase in income tax expense of $3.6 million.

The decrease in net interest margin reflects a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets of 18 basis points, offset by a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities of five basis points. Interest income from acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments was $1.3 million lower during the second quarter of 2021 when compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Horizon’s net interest margin decreased to 3.14% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 3.47% for the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in net interest margin reflects a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets of 57 basis points offset by a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities of 29 basis points.
Horizon’s net interest margin decreased to 3.21% for the first six months of 2021 compared to 3.51% for the same prior year period. The decrease in net interest margin reflects a decrease in the yield on interest earning assets of 68 basis points offset by a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities of 46 basis points.
The net interest margin was impacted during the second and first quarters of 2021 by PPP loans that were originated. Horizon estimates that the PPP loans increased the net interest margin by seven and 10 basis points for the second and first quarters of 2021, respectively. This assumes these PPP loans were not included in average interest earning assets or interest income and were primarily funded by the growth in non–interest bearing deposits.
The net interest margin was also impacted during the second and first quarters of 2021 by excess liquidity carried on the balance sheet through increased deposits. Horizon estimates that the excess liquidity compressed the net interest margin by 21 and 16 basis points for the second and first quarters of 2021, respectively. This assumes that the excess liquidity was not included in average interest earning assets or interest income and was excluded from non–interest bearing deposits.

Capital
The capital resources of the Company and the Bank exceeded regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at June 30, 2021. Stockholders’ equity totaled $710.4 million at June 30, 2021 and the ratio of average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 11.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Bank maintains a stable base of core deposits provided by long–standing relationships with individuals and local businesses. These deposits are the principal source of liquidity for Horizon. Other sources of liquidity for Horizon include earnings, loan repayment, investment security sales and maturities, proceeds from the sale of residential mortgage loans, unpledged investment securities and borrowing relationships with correspondent banks, including the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (the “FHLB”). At June 30, 2021, in addition to liquidity available from the normal operating, funding, and investing activities of Horizon, the Bank had approximately $890.6 million in unused credit lines with various money center banks, including the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Discount Window. The Bank had approximately $1.187 billion of unpledged investment securities at June 30, 2021.
Branch Network and Customer Experience
Horizon continues to implement its disciplined approach to enhancing the efficiency of its branch network on an ongoing basis, while leveraging technology to enhance the customer experience. Following management's annual review of branch performance for potential closure and a third–party consulting firm’s review of the Bank's physical branch network and strategy, Horizon’s Board of Directors approved the permanent closure on August 27, 2021 of nine branch locations in Indiana and one office in Michigan. At the same time, the Bank continues to invest in its Midwest footprint. On May 25, 2021, Horizon announced it agreed to acquire 14 TCF National Bank branches with approximately $976 million in deposits and $278 million in associated loans in a financially and strategically attractive extension of the Bank's low–cost deposit franchise in Michigan. Horizon expects to close the transaction during the third quarter of 2021.
Use of Non–GAAP Financial Measures
Certain information set forth in this press release refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have included non–GAAP financial measures relating to net income, diluted earnings per share, net interest margin, total loans and loan growth, the allowance for credit losses, tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio, the return on average assets, the return on average equity and pre–tax, pre–provision income. In each case, we have identified special circumstances that we consider to be non–recurring and have excluded them. We believe that this shows the impact of such events as acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon believes these non–GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and one–time costs of acquisitions and non–recurring items. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information below and contained elsewhere in this press release for reconciliations of the non–GAAP information identified herein and its most comparable GAAP measures.
