    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 26 يناير 2023 06:00:35   America/Chicago

    NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the fourth quarter 2022 of $177.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, as compared to the fourth quarter 2021 net income of $115.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, and net income of $178.1 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2022. Excluding all non-core charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $182.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter 2022, $125.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter 2021, and $181.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2022. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our adjusted net income in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.

    Key financial highlights for the fourth quarter:

    • Loan Portfolio: Total loans increased $1.7 billion, or 15 percent on an annualized basis, to $46.9 billion at December 31, 2022 from September 30, 2022 mainly due to strong organic commercial real estate loan growth, as well as new residential mortgage loan volumes largely originated for investment rather than sale. See the "Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings" section below for details.
    • Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $467.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022 increased $11.9 million and $151.2 million as compared to the third quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively, reflecting a well-positioned balance sheet and continued organic loan growth in the current rising interest rate environment. Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis remained relatively stable and totaled 3.57 percent for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to 3.60 percent for the third quarter 2022. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for more details.
    • Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $483.3 million and $498.4 million at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively, representing 1.03 percent and 1.10 percent of total loans at each respective date. During the fourth quarter 2022, the provision for credit losses for loans was $7.3 million as compared to $1.8 million and $11.6 million for the third quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively.
    • Credit Quality: Net loan charge-offs totaled $22.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022, largely due to the partial charge-off of a single non-performing loan, as compared to net recoveries of loan charge-offs of $5.6 million and $624 thousand for the third quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively. Non-accrual loans represented 0.57 percent and 0.65 percent of total loans at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. See the "Credit Quality" Section below for more details.
    • Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income decreased $3.4 million to $52.8 million for the fourth quarter 2022 from $56.2 million for the third quarter 2022 due, in part, to a $3.4 million decrease in swap fee income derived from certain new commercial loan transactions. The swap fees presented in other income totaled $7.3 million and $10.7 million for the fourth quarter 2022 and third quarter 2022, respectively.
    • Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased $4.6 million to $266.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to the third quarter 2022 mainly due to higher technology-related merger expenses and increased professional and legal fees, partially offset by lower salaries and employee benefits expense. Merger expenses largely relating to the acquisition of Bank Leumi Le-Israel Corporation (Bank Leumi USA) on April 1, 2022 totaled $7.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to $4.7 million for the third quarter 2022.
    • Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 49.30 percent for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to 49.76 percent and 49.44 percent for the third quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
    • Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 1.25 percent, 11.23 percent, and 16.70 percent for the fourth quarter 2022, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE and tangible ROE, adjusted for non-core charges, were 1.29 percent, 11.56 percent, and 17.20 percent for the fourth quarter 2022, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.

    Ira Robbins, CEO, commented, “I am extremely proud of the earnings that Valley generated for both the fourth quarter and the full year 2022. The continuation of this excellent performance is a testament to the dedication of our exceptional bankers and associates. Loan growth remained elevated during the fourth quarter as originations were again aided by a reduction in loan payoffs. Entering 2023, we continue to face pressure with regard to deposit pricing expectations and growth opportunities. While we are pleased with the stability of our core relationship-based funding franchise, we have used other funding alternatives to support our robust loan growth. To ensure the right balance, we have devoted resources to our differentiated deposit niches which we expect will continue to add value to our franchise over time.”

    Mr. Robbins continued, “Our long-standing focus on relationship-based commercial banking has been enhanced in recent years by new capabilities which will help us navigate the challenging and rapidly changing banking environment that we face today. We continue to execute on our strategic initiatives from a position of strength, and are well-positioned to withstand the pressures around us.”

    Net Interest Income and Margin

    Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaling $467.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022 increased $11.9 million and $151.2 million as compared to the third quarter 2022 and fourth quarter 2021, respectively. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $109.9 million to $648.0 million for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to the third quarter 2022. The increase was mostly due to higher average loan balances driven by our organic loan growth and increased yields on both new originations and adjustable rate loans in our portfolio. Interest expense of $180.7 million for the fourth quarter 2022 increased $98.0 million as compared to the third quarter 2022 largely due to higher interest rates on both non-maturity and new time deposits, as well as a $2.4 billion increase in average time deposits.

    Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.57 percent for the fourth quarter 2022 decreased 3 basis points as compared to 3.60 percent for the third quarter 2022, and increased 34 basis points from 3.23 percent for the fourth quarter 2021. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by 69 basis points on a linked quarter basis mostly due to the aforementioned higher yields on new and adjustable rate loans in the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to third quarter 2022. The yield on average loans increased to 5.20 percent for the fourth quarter 2022 from 4.48 percent for the third quarter 2022 largely due to the higher level of market interest rates. The overall cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased by 109 basis points to 2.15 percent for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to the linked third quarter 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates on both non-maturity and new time deposits. Our cost of total average deposits was 1.36 percent for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to 0.59 percent for the third quarter 2022. The increased cost of funds was mainly due to higher interest rates on most of our interest bearing deposit products combined with greater utilization of brokered and retail CDs in our funding mix during the fourth quarter 2022.

    Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings

    Loans. Loans increased $1.7 billion to $46.9 billion at December 31, 2022 from September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to continued strong quarter-over-quarter organic loan growth in commercial real estate and residential mortgage loan categories. Commercial real estate (including construction) and residential mortgage loans increased $1.4 billion and $187.4 million, respectively, or 19 percent and 14 percent, respectively, on an annualized basis during the fourth quarter 2022. Residential mortgage loans increased during the fourth quarter 2022 almost entirely due to new loan activity in the purchased home market and higher levels of such loans originated for investment rather than sale. Loans held for sale totaled $18.1 million and $6.1 million at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans within the commercial and industrial loan category totaled $33.6 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $85.8 million at September 30, 2022.

    Deposits. Total deposits increased $2.3 billion to approximately $47.6 billion at December 31, 2022 from September 30, 2022 driven by continued growth in our retail and brokered CD portfolios, partially offset by a $957.0 million decrease in non-interest bearing deposits. Time deposits increased $3.2 billion to $9.6 billion at December 31, 2022 from September 30, 2022 mainly as a result of our increased use of brokered CDs in our funding mix, successful strategic retail CD campaigns and, to a lesser extent, customer migration from non-interest bearing deposit products. Total brokered deposits, consisting of money market and time deposit accounts, were $5.9 billion at December 31, 2022 as compared to $3.7 billion at September 30, 2022. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW, money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 30 percent, 50 percent and 20 percent of total deposits as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

    Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings decreased $780.6 million to approximately $138.7 million at December 31, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2022 largely due to the maturity and repayment of FHLB advances during the fourth quarter 2022 and our increased utilization of brokered deposits as a favorable funding alternative during the fourth quarter 2022. Long-term borrowings of $1.5 billion remained relatively unchanged at December 31, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2022.

    Credit Quality

    Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets decreased $22.8 million to $272.0 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $294.8 million at September 30, 2022. The decrease in NPAs was largely due to a $36.3 million decline in non-accrual commercial and industrial loans. The decrease in non-accrual commercial and industrial loans was mainly driven by a $20.9 million partial loan charge-off of one non-performing loan participation (that had related allowance reserves totaling $30.0 million at September 30, 2022), as well as several taxi medallion loan repayments during the fourth quarter 2022. Non-accrual construction loans increased $13.1 million at December 31, 2022 primarily due to the migration of one loan relationship previously reported in the 60 to 89 days past due delinquency category at September 30, 2022. Non-accrual loans represented 0.57 percent of total loans at December 31, 2022 as compared to 0.65 percent of total loans at September 30, 2022.

    Non-Performing Taxi Medallion Loan Portfolio. Our non-performing taxi medallion loans within the non-accrual commercial and industrial loan category decreased $9.8 million to $66.5 million at December 31, 2022 from September 30, 2022 mostly due to repayments of loans during the fourth quarter 2022. At December 31, 2022, all taxi medallion loans were on non-accrual status and had related reserves of $42.2 million, or 63.5 percent of such loans, within the allowance for loan losses.

    Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $7.9 million to $90.9 million, or 0.19 percent of total loans, at December 31, 2022 as compared to $98.7 million, or 0.22 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2022. The decline was due, in part, to the migration of construction loans 60 to 89 days past due and commercial real estate loans 90 or more days past due reported at September 30, 2022 to non-accrual loans at December 31, 2022.

    Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans and Unfunded Commitments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

    Our loan portfolio, totaling $46.9 billion at December 31, 2022, had net loan charge-offs totaling $22.4 million for the fourth quarter 2022 as compared to net recoveries of loan charge-offs of $5.6 million and $624 thousand for the third quarter 2022 and the fourth quarter 2021, respectively. The fourth quarter 2022 net loan charge-offs primarily related to the partial loan charge-off of one non-accrual commercial and industrial loan participation (with related allowance reserves totaling $30.0 million at September 30, 2022).

    The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.03 percent at December 31, 2022 and 1.10 percent at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the fourth quarter 2022, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans totaling $7.3 million as compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter 2022 and $11.6 million for the fourth quarter 2021. Overall, the decrease in allowance for credit losses for loans as a percentage of total loans reflects a decline in expected quantitative loss experience, partially offset by the increased economic forecast reserve component of our CECL model at December 31, 2022, as well as the impact of the fourth quarter 2022 loan charge-offs with prior allocated reserves.

    Capital Adequacy

    Valley's regulatory capital ratios continue to reflect its well-capitalized position. Valley's total risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 11.63 percent, 9.46 percent, 9.01 percent and 8.23 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

    NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

    (1)Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules.
    (2)Represents the allowance for acquired PCD loans, net of PCD loan charge-offs totaling $62.4 million in the second quarter 2022.
    (3)Non-GAAP Reconciliations. This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in understanding Valley’s underlying operational performance, business and performance trends, and may facilitate comparisons of our current and prior performance with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning, forecasting and analysis purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion of this supplemental information, together with the accompanying reconciliations to the GAAP financial measures, also allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be calculated differently from similar measures disclosed by other companies.
