• Sandy Spring Bancorp Reports Third Quarter Earnings of $20.7 Million

    ソース: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 24 10 2023 07:00:02   America/New_York

    OLNEY, Md., Oct. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq-SASR), the parent company of Sandy Spring Bank, reported net income of $20.7 million ($0.46 per diluted common share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to net income of $24.7 million ($0.55 per diluted common share) for the second quarter of 2023 and $33.6 million ($0.75 per diluted common share) for the third quarter of 2022. The decline in the current quarter's net income compared to the linked quarter was the result of the one-time pension settlement expense associated with the previously disclosed termination of the Company's pension plan, coupled with lower net interest income. These negative factors were partially offset by lower provision for credit losses and a decline in salaries and employee benefits expense after excluding the impact of the pension settlement expense.

    Current quarter core earnings were $27.8 million ($0.62 per diluted common share), compared to $27.1 million ($0.60 per diluted common share) for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and $35.7 million ($0.80 per diluted common share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Core earnings exclude the after-tax impact of amortization of intangibles, investment securities gains or losses and non-recurring or extraordinary items. The increase in core earnings during the current quarter as compared to the previous quarter was a result of lower provision for credit losses, lower salaries and employee benefits expense, and lower marketing expense, offset by reduced net interest income.

    “This quarter we demonstrated the effectiveness of our core funding strategies and ability to expand our reach in the Greater Washington region. We added over 1,500 clients in the quarter, which reflects over 1% growth in our client base,” said Daniel J. Schrider, Chairman, President and CEO of Sandy Spring Bank. "Additionally, we grew the Commercial & Industrial portfolio, reduced our Commercial Real Estate concentration, and maintained our credit quality."

    “We are focused on capitalizing on this momentum to deepen existing client relationships and welcome new clients to Sandy Spring Bank,” Schrider added.

    Third Quarter Highlights

    • Total assets at September 30, 2023 increased by 1% to $14.1 billion compared to $14.0 billion at June 30, 2023.
    • Total loans declined by $69.3 million or 1% to $11.3 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $11.4 billion at June 30, 2023. During the current quarter, the Company reduced its concentration in the commercial real estate segments by $110.3 million, while commercial business loans and lines increased $31.1 million. The total residential mortgage loan portfolio grew $16.0 million mainly due to the migration of construction loans into the portfolio.
    • Deposits increased $192.1 million or 2% to $11.2 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $11.0 billion at June 30, 2023, as interest-bearing deposits increased $258.1 million or 3%, while noninterest-bearing deposits declined $66.0 million or 2%. Growth within interest-bearing deposit categories was driven by savings accounts and core time deposits, which increased by $277.4 million and $263.7 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the $155.8 million decrease in brokered time deposits, as the Company reduced its reliance on wholesale funding sources, and the $177.5 million decrease in money market accounts.
    • Credit quality metrics remained at low levels during the current quarter. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.46% at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.44% at June 30, 2023 and 0.40% at September 30, 2022. Net charge-off activity during the current quarter was insignificant.
    • Total borrowings declined in the current quarter by $57.8 million or 4% over the amounts at June 30, 2023, mainly as a result of a $50.0 million reduction in FHLB advances.
    • Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 declined $5.4 million or 6% compared to the previous quarter and $27.9 million or 25% compared to the third quarter of 2022. During the recent quarter, the $4.3 million growth in interest income was more than offset by the $9.7 million increase in interest expense, a result of the increased rates paid on deposits.
    • The net interest margin was 2.55% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2.73% for the second quarter of 2023 and 3.53% for the third quarter of 2022. The decline in the net interest margin was the result of higher rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, driven by higher market rates, competition for deposits, and customer movement of excess funds out of noninterest-bearing accounts, outpacing the increase in the yield on interest-earning assets. Compared to the linked quarter, the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities rose 36 basis points, while the yield on interest-earning assets increased 8 basis points, resulting in the quarterly margin compression of 18 basis points.
    • Provision for credit losses directly attributable to the funded loan portfolio for the current quarter was $3.2 million compared to $4.5 million in the previous quarter and $14.1 million in the prior year quarter. The provision for the current quarter was the product of increases in individual reserves on a few commercial lending relationships, which were partially offset by a qualitative adjustment related to reduced probability of an economic recession. In addition, during the current quarter the Company reduced its reserve for unfunded commitments by $0.8 million as a result of higher utilization of lines of credit.
    • Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 1% or $0.2 million compared to the linked quarter and grew by 3% or $0.5 million compared to the prior year quarter. The quarter-over-quarter increase was mainly driven by higher wealth management income and higher lending-related fees, offset by lower BOLI income.
    • Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2023 increased $3.3 million or 5% compared to the second quarter of 2023 and $6.7 million or 10% compared to the prior year quarter. The current quarter included $8.2 million of pension settlement expense related to the termination of the Company's pension plan, while the previous quarter included $1.9 million of severance related expense associated with staffing adjustments. Excluding these items from the current and previous quarters, total non-interest expense declined by $2.9 million or 4% driven by lower salaries and employee benefits expense and lower marketing expense.
    • Return on average assets (“ROA”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 0.58% and return on average tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) was 7.42% compared to 0.70% and 8.93%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023 and 0.99% and 12.49%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, the current quarter's core ROA was 0.78% and core ROTCE was 9.51% compared to 0.77% and 9.43%, respectively, for the previous quarter and 1.05% and 12.86%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022.
    • The GAAP efficiency ratio was 70.72% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 64.22% for the second quarter of 2023 and 50.66% for the third quarter of 2022. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 60.91% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 60.68% for the second quarter of 2023 and 48.18% for the prior year quarter. The increase in both the GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratios (reflecting a decrease in efficiency) in the current quarter compared to the previous quarter and the third quarter of the prior year was the result of declines in net revenue from the prior periods coupled with the growth in non-interest expense.

    Balance Sheet and Credit Quality

    Total assets were $14.1 billion at September 30, 2023, as compared to $14.0 billion at June 30, 2023. Total loans declined by $69.3 million or 1% to $11.3 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $11.4 billion at June 30, 2023. Total commercial real estate and business loans declined $79.2 million quarter-over-quarter due to a $107.1 million or 10% decline in the AD&C loan portfolio, while investor and owner-occupied commercial real estate loan portfolios were relatively unchanged. Commercial business loans and lines increased $31.1 million or 2%. Total residential mortgage loans grew $16.0 million or 1% mainly due to the migration of construction loans into the residential mortgage portfolio. Overall, the loan portfolio mix remained relatively unchanged compared to the previous quarter.

    Deposits increased $192.1 million or 2% to $11.2 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $11.0 billion at June 30, 2023. During this period total interest-bearing deposits increased $258.1 million or 3%, while noninterest-bearing deposits declined $66.0 million or 2%. Growth within interest-bearing deposit categories was driven by savings accounts and core time deposits, which increased by $277.4 million and $263.7 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by the $155.8 million decrease in brokered time deposits, as the Company reduced its reliance on wholesale funding sources, and the $177.5 million decrease in money market accounts. Total deposits, excluding brokered deposits, increased by $349.5 million or 4% quarter-over-quarter and represented 90% of the total deposits as of September 30, 2023 compared to 88% at June 30, 2023, reflecting the continued stability of the core deposit base. The deposit growth experienced during the current quarter resulted in the loan to deposit ratio declining to 101% at September 30, 2023 from 104% at June 30, 2023. Total uninsured deposits at September 30, 2023 were approximately 33% of the total deposits. The Company offers its customers reciprocal deposit arrangements, which provide FDIC deposit insurance for accounts that would otherwise exceed deposit insurance limits. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, balances in the Company's reciprocal deposit accounts increased by $131.6 million.

    Total borrowings declined by $57.8 million or 4% at September 30, 2023 as compared to the previous quarter, driven by a $50.0 million reduction in FHLB advances. The outstanding balance of borrowings through the Federal Reserve Bank's Bank Term Funding Program remained unchanged at $300.0 million at September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, contingent liquidity, which consists of available FHLB borrowings, fed funds, funds through the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window and the Bank Term Funding Program, as well as excess cash and unpledged investment securities totaled $6.1 billion or 168% of uninsured deposits. At September 30, 2023, total cash and cash equivalents were $717.6 million, an increase of $287.5 million or 67% compared to the linked quarter, primarily a result of strong deposit growth.

    The tangible common equity ratio decreased to 8.42% of tangible assets at September 30, 2023, compared to 8.51% at June 30, 2023. This decrease reflected the impact of higher tangible assets while tangible common equity remained relatively unchanged quarter-over-quarter, as net retained earnings were offset by an increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities.

    At September 30, 2023, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.85%, a common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.83%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 10.83%, and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.50%. All of these ratios remain well in excess of the mandated minimum regulatory requirements.

    Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. Overall credit quality remained stable at September 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2023, as the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.46% compared to 0.44%. These levels of non-performing loans compare to 0.40% at September 30, 2022 and continue to indicate stable credit quality during a period of economic uncertainty. At September 30, 2023, non-performing loans totaled $51.8 million, compared to $49.5 million at June 30, 2023 and $44.5 million at September 30, 2022. Total net charge-offs for the current quarter amounted to $0.1 million compared to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2023 and $0.5 million of net recoveries for the third quarter of 2022.

    At September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $123.4 million or 1.09% of outstanding loans and 238% of non-performing loans, compared to $120.3 million or 1.06% of outstanding loans and 243% of non-performing loans at the end of the previous quarter and $128.3 million or 1.14% of outstanding loans and 289% of non-performing loans at the end of the third quarter of 2022. The increase in the allowance for the current quarter compared to the previous quarter mainly reflects increases in individual reserves recorded on a few commercial real estate relationships, partially offset by the reduction of the qualitative adjustment related to the probability of an economic recession.

    Income Statement Review

    Quarterly Results

    Net income was $20.7 million ($0.46 per diluted common share) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $24.7 million ($0.55 per diluted common share) for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $33.6 million ($0.75 per diluted common share) for the prior year quarter. The current quarter's core earnings were $27.8 million ($0.62 per diluted common share), compared to $27.1 million ($0.60 per diluted common share) for the previous quarter and $35.7 million ($0.80 per diluted common share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The decline in the current quarter's net income compared to the previous quarter was the result of one-time pension settlement expense of $8.2 million, as the Company completed the termination of its pension plan, coupled with lower net interest income, partially offset by lower provision for credit losses and lower salaries expense. The increase in core earnings during the current quarter as compared to the previous quarter was a result of lower provision for credit losses, lower salaries and employee benefits expense, and lower marketing expense, offset by reduced net interest income.

    Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $5.4 million or 6% compared to the previous quarter and $27.9 million or 25% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Both quarterly and year-over-year decreases in net interest income were driven by higher interest expense, a result of higher funding costs, which outpaced growth in interest income. The rising interest rate environment was primarily responsible for a $32.0 million year-over-year increase in interest income. This growth in interest income was more than offset by the $59.9 million year-over-year growth in interest expense as funding costs have also risen in response to the rising rate environment and significant competition for deposits. Interest income growth occurred in all categories of commercial loans and, to a lesser degree, in residential mortgage loans, consumer loans and investment securities income.

    The net interest margin was 2.55% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2.73% for the second quarter of 2023 and 3.53% for the third quarter of 2022. The contraction of the net interest margin for the current quarter reflects the higher rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, which outpaced the increase in the yield on interest-earning assets. The overall rate and yield increases were driven by the multiple federal funds rate increases that occurred over the preceding twelve months coupled with competition for deposits in the market, and customer movement of excess funds out of noninterest-bearing accounts into higher yielding products. As compared to the prior year quarter, the yield on interest-earning assets increased 76 basis points while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities rose 241 basis points, resulting in the margin compression of 98 basis points.

    The total provision for credit losses was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $5.1 million for the previous quarter and $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses directly attributable to the funded loan portfolio was $3.2 million for the current quarter compared to $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 and the prior year quarter’s provision of $14.1 million. The current quarter's provision mainly reflects an increase in individual reserves established on a few commercial real estate relationships.

    Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2023 increased by 1% or $0.2 million compared to the linked quarter and grew by 3% or $0.5 million compared to the prior year quarter. The current quarter's increase in non-interest income as compared to the previous quarter was mainly driven by higher wealth management income coupled with higher lending-related fees, partially offset by lower BOLI income due to mortality proceeds received in the prior quarter.

    Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2023 increased $3.3 million or 5% compared to the second quarter of 2023 and $6.7 million or 10% compared to the third quarter of 2022. The current quarter included $8.2 million of pension settlement expense related to the termination of the Company's pension plan, while the previous quarter included $1.9 million of severance related expense associated with staffing adjustments. Excluding these items from the current and previous quarters, total non-interest expense declined by $2.9 million or 4% driven by lower salaries and employee benefits and lower marketing expense. Excluding pension settlement expense from the current quarter, non-interest expense declined by $1.5 million or 2% year-over-year. This decline is primarily attributable to lower compensation expense, partially offset by higher professional fees related to the Company's investments in technology projects, and higher FDIC insurance expense, due to an increase in the assessment rate for all banks that became effective in 2023.

    For the third quarter of 2023, the GAAP efficiency ratio was 70.72% compared to 64.22% for the second quarter of 2023 and 50.66% for the third quarter of 2022. The GAAP efficiency ratio rose from the prior year quarter primarily as a result of the 21% decrease in GAAP revenue in combination with the 10% increase in GAAP non-interest expense. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio was 60.91% for the current quarter as compared to 60.68% for the second quarter of 2023 and 48.18% for the third quarter of 2022. The increase in the non-GAAP efficiency ratio (reflecting a decrease in efficiency) from the third quarter of the prior year to the current year quarter was primarily the result of the 21% decline in non-GAAP revenue, while non-GAAP expenses were relatively unchanged.

    ROA for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 0.58% and ROTCE was 7.42% compared to 0.70% and 8.93%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2023 and 0.99% and 12.49%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022. On a non-GAAP basis, the current quarter's core ROA was 0.78% and core ROTCE was 9.51% compared to 0.77% and 9.43% for the second quarter of 2023 and 1.05% and 12.86%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2022.

    Year-to-Date Results

    The Company recorded net income of $96.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net income of $132.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Core earnings were $107.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $125.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Year-to-date net income declined as a result of the gain recognized on the sale of the Company's insurance segment during the prior year in combination with lower net interest income and higher non-interest expense, partially offset by lower provision for credit losses as a result of significant credit recorded during the first quarter of the current year.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net interest income decreased $47.5 million compared to the prior year as a result of the $169.0 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by the $121.5 million increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense was driven by the interest expense on deposits, primarily associated with money market and time deposit accounts and, to a lesser degree, FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings. The net interest margin declined to 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 3.50% for the prior year, primarily as a result of higher funding cost due to the rising interest rate environment and market competition for deposits during the period.

    The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to a credit of $14.1 million as compared to a charge of $23.6 million for 2022. Credit to the provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was a reflection of the improving regional forecasted unemployment rate, observed during the early part of the current year, coupled with the continued strong credit quality performance of the loan portfolio.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, non-interest income decreased 31% to $50.5 million compared to $72.7 million for 2022. During the prior year, the Company realized a $16.5 million gain on the sale of its insurance segment. Excluding the gain, non-interest income decreased 10% or $5.7 million, driven by a $2.9 million decrease in insurance commissions, a $2.6 million decrease in bank card fees and a $0.6 million decrease in income from mortgage banking activities. Insurance commission income declined due to the disposition of the Company's insurance business during the second quarter of the prior year. Fees from bank cards declined as a result of regulatory restrictions on transaction fees effective in the second half of the prior year. The decline in income from mortgage banking activities is the result of the rising interest rate environment, which continues to dampen home sales and refinancing activity. These decreases in non-interest income year-over-year were partially offset by a $0.8 million increase in BOLI mortality-related income.

    Non-interest expense increased 8% to $207.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $192.9 million for 2022. Current year expense included pension settlement expense of $8.2 million and severance expense of $1.9 million, while the prior year included contingent earn-out expense associated with the 2020 acquisition of Rembert Pendleton Jackson of $1.2 million and merger, acquisition and disposal expense of $1.1 million. Excluding these items, non-interest expense increased by $7.2 million or 4% in the current year over the prior year. The drivers of the increase in non-interest expense were a $5.8 million increase in professional fees, a $3.5 million increase in FDIC expense, and a $1.4 million increase in software amortization expense. Excluding the pension settlement expense, total salaries and benefits expense declined by $3.5 million from the prior year period. Year-over-year increases in both professional fees and software amortization expense were mainly associated with the Company's investments in technology and software projects. The increase in FDIC insurance expense was a result of the two basis points increase in the assessment rate for all banks that became effective in 2023.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the GAAP efficiency ratio was 64.29% compared to 49.08% for the same period in 2022. The non-GAAP efficiency ratio for the current year was 59.42% compared to the 49.09% for the prior year. The growth in the current year’s non-GAAP efficiency ratio compared to the prior year, indicating a decline in efficiency, was the result of the 14% decrease in non-GAAP revenue combined with the 4% growth in non-GAAP non-interest expense.

     (1) Represents a non-GAAP measure.
     (2) The efficiency ratio - GAAP basis is non-interest expense divided by net interest income plus non-interest income from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The traditional efficiency ratio - Non-GAAP basis excludes intangible asset amortization, merger, acquisition and disposal expense, severance expense, pension settlement expense and contingent payment expense from non-interest expense; and investment securities gains/ (losses) and gain on disposal of assets from non-interest income; and adds the tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income. See the Reconciliation Table included with these Financial Highlights.
     (3) Estimated ratio at September 30, 2023.
     (4) The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that divides assets excluding goodwill and other intangible assets into stockholders' equity after deducting goodwill and other intangible assets. See the Reconciliation Table included with these Financial Highlights.
     (5) Calculation utilizes average loans, excluding residential mortgage loans held-for-sale.
