المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 24 أبريل 2024 15:30:01 America/Chicago
SUFFOLK, Va., April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TowneBank (the "Company" or "Towne") (NASDAQ: TOWN) today reported earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 of $34.69 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $38.33 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Excluding acquisition-related items and the incremental FDIC special assessment, adjusted earnings (non-GAAP) for first quarter 2024 were $36.27 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, compared to $46.30 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for first quarter 2023.
"TowneBank had a solid start to the year with our continued focus on maintaining healthy levels of capital and liquidity. While we continue to see migration to interest-bearing accounts, it was encouraging to generate overall annualized deposit growth of nearly 7% for the first quarter, demonstrating the durability of the TowneBank operating mode. Our ongoing growth strategy for our ancillary lines of business, including insurance and property management, continues to serve as a partial hedge to offset rising deposit costs," said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.
Highlights for First Quarter 2024:
- Total revenues were $167.10 million, a decrease of $17.04 million, or 9.25%, compared to first quarter 2023. Net interest income declined $20.16 million, driven by higher rates on deposits and the continuation a migration from noninterest-bearing to interest-bearing deposits. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $3.12 million.
- Total deposits were $14.13 billion, an increase of $527.94 million, or 3.88%, compared to first quarter 2023. Total deposits increased 1.68%, or $232.87 million, in comparison to December 31, 2023, 6.74% on an annualized basis.
- Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 17.27%, to $4.19 billion, compared to first quarter 2023 and represented 29.69% of total deposits. Compared to the linked quarter, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 3.42%.
- Loans held for investment were $11.45 billion, an increase of $278.56 million, or 2.49%, compared to March 31, 2023, and $123.32 million, or 1.09%, compared to December 31, 2023, 4.38% on an annualized basis.
- Annualized return on common shareholders' equity was 6.89% compared to 8.05% in first quarter 2023. Annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity (non-GAAP) was 9.98% compared to 11.83% in first quarter 2023.
- Net interest margin was 2.72% for the quarter and tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 2.75%, including purchase accounting accretion of 4 basis points, compared to the prior year quarter net interest margin of 3.36% and tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) of 3.39%, including purchase accounting accretion of 3 basis points.
- The effective tax rate was 17.31% in the quarter compared to 20.03% in first quarter 2023 and 8.46% in the linked quarter. The lower tax rate in the linked quarter was due to a decline in state tax expense in fourth quarter 2023, increases in tax-advantaged income investments, and deferred taxes related to the sale of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices ("BHHS") Towne Realty.
"We reported strong asset quality metrics for the quarter and continued to focus on our strategy to align loan and deposit growth, which is reflective of our conservative approach to Main Street banking. Additionally, we were excited to close our first property management acquisition in Florida adding another market to our unique portfolio of property management companies," stated William I. Foster III, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Quarterly Net Interest Income:
- Net interest income was $103.22 million compared to $123.38 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by interest-bearing deposit growth, coupled with increased deposit costs, outpacing higher earning asset yields.
- On an average basis, loans held for investment, with a yield of 5.37%, represented 74.54% of earning assets at March 31, 2024 compared to a yield of 4.88% and 74.61% of earning assets in the first quarter of 2023.
- The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 3.24% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 1.66% in 2023. Interest expense on deposits increased $44.45 million, or 131.00%, over the prior year quarter driven by the increase in rate.
- Our total cost of deposits increased to 2.26% from 1.02% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 due to a combination of higher interest-bearing deposit costs and the decline in noninterest-bearing deposits.
- Average interest-earning assets totaled $15.27 billion at March 31, 2024 compared to $14.87 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of 2.64%. The Company anticipates $550 million of cash flows from its securities portfolio to be available for reinvestment in the next two years.
- Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $10.21 billion, an increase of $1.30 billion, or 14.60% from prior year. Average short term FHLB borrowings were $174.73 million during the quarter compared to $263.33 million one year prior.
Quarterly Provision for Credit Losses:
- The quarterly provision for credit losses was a benefit of $0.88 million compared to an expense of $11.67 million in the prior year quarter and $2.45 million in the linked quarter. Prior year quarter included $4.01 million in provision related to the acquisition of Farmers Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Farmers Bank ("Farmers").
- The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased $0.63 million in first quarter 2024, compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in the allowance was driven by continued strength in credit quality and modest improvements in the macroeconomic forecast scenarios utilized in our models, partially offset by modest loan growth.
- Net loan charge-offs were $520 thousand in the quarter compared to $3.87 million in the prior year quarter and $68 thousand in the linked quarter.
- The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.02% in first quarter 2024, 0.14% in first quarter 2023, and zero percent in the linked quarter.
- The allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.10% of total loans at March 31, 2024, 1.07% at March 31, 2023, and 1.12% at December 31, 2023. The allowance for credit losses on loans was 18.01 times nonperforming loans compared to 12.87 times at March 31, 2023 and 18.48 times at December 31, 2023.
Quarterly Noninterest Income:
- Total noninterest income was $63.88 million compared to $60.77 million in 2023, an increase of $3.12 million, or 5.13%.
- Residential mortgage banking income was $10.48 million compared to $9.37 million in first quarter 2023. Loan volume increased to $424.39 million in first quarter 2024 from $416.22 million in first quarter 2023. The number of loans originated was consistent with first quarter 2023, but higher per-loan average balances resulted in higher production volume. Residential purchase activity comprised 95.66% of production volume in the first quarter of 2024 compared to 94.99% in the prior year quarter.
- Gross margins on residential mortgage sales increased 23 basis points to 3.34% in the current quarter from 3.11% in first quarter 2023.
- Total net insurance commissions increased $2.72 million, or 11.90%, to $25.54 million in first quarter 2024 compared to 2023. This increase was attributable to increases in property and casualty commissions which were driven by organic growth and a full quarter of income in 2024 related to the 2023 Manry-Rawls, LLC acquisition.
- Property management fee revenue increased 7.97%, or $1.24 million, to $16.77 million in first quarter 2024 compared to 2023. Reservation income increased compared to the prior year due to an acquisition in March 2024 and a full quarter of revenue from an acquisition in March 2023.
Quarterly Noninterest Expense:
- Total noninterest expense was $125.59 million compared to $124.40 million in 2023, an increase of $1.19 million, or 0.96%. Increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.96 million, FDIC and other insurance of $2.75 million, and various expense line items, were partially offset by a decrease in acquisition expenses of $5.37 million.
- Salaries and benefits expense increases were driven by annual base salary adjustments effective third quarter 2023, acquisition-related increases in the number of employees, and higher health insurance costs. The increases were partially offset by a decline in incentive accruals and decreases in our Realty segment related to cost reductions in our mortgage business and the sale of BHHS Towne Realty in 2023.
- FDIC and other insurance increased due to a higher assessment rate and an additional expense accrual of $1.29 million before taxes, pursuant to the revised estimated FDIC special assessment.
