Loan Growth Despite Rising Rates

John R. Buran, President and CEO Commentary

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Company reported third quarter 2022 GAAP EPS of $0.76, down 6.2% YoY, with a ROAA of 1.11%, and ROAE of 13.91%. Core 3Q22 EPS was $0.62, a decrease of 29.5% YoY, with a ROAA of 0.90% and the ROAE of 11.24%.  

“We supported customers by achieving loan growth of 3.1% QoQ, excluding the impact of PPP loans, while increasing the origination yield by 68 bps for the quarter, as the quarter was dominated by Fed rate increases. Credit quality, a hallmark of the Company, remained solid with only 2 bps of net charge-offs this quarter. The Company opportunistically raised $65 million of subordinated debt capital to lock in funding at an attractive rate. The Fed rate movements resulted in the NIM compressing 28 bps during the third quarter given the rapid rise in rates. Despite the NIM pressure in the short term, loans are expected to reprice higher over time. Approximately $1.0 billion or 15% of loans reprice within 90 days of index changes and $1.9 billion or 27% of loans are expected to contractually reprice higher by 200 bps through the end of 2024. There are over $500 million of funding swaps that have attractive rates now and will reprice lower by approximately 70 bps through 2023. Our community focus continued to shine this quarter as we supported several events, including the Flushing and Port Jefferson Dragon Boat festivals and our Harvest Moon Reception.”

- John R. Buran, President and CEO

Loan Closings up 90.1% YoY; NIM Declined QoQ. Period end net loans, excluding PPP, increased 3.1% QoQ, with balanced growth between real estate and commercial business and other loans. Loan closings, excluding PPP, were up 90.1% YoY, while repayment speeds declined both YoY and QoQ. Despite the loan closings increasing, net interest income of $61.2 million decreased 3.4% YoY and 5.4% QoQ, primarily due to the increased funding costs. NIM FTE was 3.07% in 3Q22 compared to 3.35% in 2Q22 and 3.34% a year ago. Core NIM FTE decreased by 24 bps to 3.03% YoY and 30 bps QoQ. The Company hired 46 people, including 20 revenue producers, since March 31, 2021 from institutions involved with bank mergers.

Returned 40% of Earnings in 3Q22; Tangible Book Value Per Share Increased 3% YoY. The Company repurchased 131,174 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.47 during the quarter. Book value and tangible book value per share were $22.47 and $21.81, respectively, while TCE/TA1 was 7.62% at September 30, 2022 compared to 7.82% at June 30, 2022.

____________
(1) Ratios are presented on an annualized basis, where appropriate.
(2) Yields are calculated on the tax equivalent basis using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented.
(3) Efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated by dividing noninterest expense (excluding merger expense, OREO expense, prepayment penalty on borrowings, the net gain/loss from the sale of OREO and net amortization of purchase accounting adjustments) by the total of net interest income (excluding net gains and losses from fair value adjustments on qualifying hedges and net amortization of purchase accounting adjustments) and noninterest income (excluding life insurance proceeds, net gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities, assets and fair value adjustments).
(4) Calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity by shares outstanding.
(5) Calculated by dividing tangible stockholders’ common equity, a non-GAAP measure, by shares outstanding. Tangible stockholders’ common equity is stockholders’ equity less intangible assets (goodwill, net of deferred taxes). See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.
(6) See “Calculation of Tangible Stockholders’ Common Equity to Tangible Assets”.
(7) Excludes performing nonaccrual TDR loans.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP EARNINGS and CORE EARNINGS

Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings

The variance in GAAP and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to borrowings carried at fair value under the fair value option and swaps designated to protect against rising rates. As the swaps get closer to maturity, the volatility in fair value adjustments will dissipate. In a rising interest rate environment or a steepening of the yield curve, the loss position would experience an improvement. In a declining interest rate environment, the movement in the curve exaggerates our mark-to-market loss position.

Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest Expense and Tangible Book Value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this release. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and noninterest items and provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison to the Company's competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common share is useful for both investors and management as these are measures commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison to its competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity.

These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
