    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 19 Apr 2023 15:15:01   America/Chicago

    BETHESDA, Md., April 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: EGBN), the parent company of EagleBank (the "Bank"), today announced net income of $24.2 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to net income of $42.2 million for the fourth quarter 2022 (the "prior quarter") and $45.7 million for the first quarter 2022 (the "year ago quarter"). Net income was $0.78 per share (basic and diluted) for the first quarter 2023, compared to $1.32 per share (basic and diluted) for the prior quarter, and $1.43 per share (basic) and $1.42 per share (diluted) for the year-ago quarter.

    The $18.0 million decrease in earnings from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to the decrease in net interest income and a higher provision for credit losses. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to higher interest expense as the rate paid on deposits increased in response to Federal Reserve rate increases and the funding mix changed reflecting a higher level of borrowings at rates higher than those of the deposits the borrowings replaced. These increases in interest expense outpaced the increase in interest income from loans. Additionally, the higher provision for credit losses was primarily attributable to qualitative factors, loan growth, and, to a lesser extent, reserves on corporate bonds within the securities portfolio.

    First Quarter 2023 Highlights

    • Common equity and tangible common equity ratios at quarter-end were 11.20% and 10.36%1, respectively.

    CEO Commentary

    Susan G. Riel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Bancorp, Inc., commented, "While we are disappointed with our first quarter operating results, our capital ratios are well in excess of regulatory minimums and our asset quality metrics remained strong, even against the backdrop of a challenging market, including continued disintermediation of deposits amid a rising interest rate environment. We met the liquidity needs of our depositors, and the credit needs of our borrowers, while holding firm to our commitment to strong underwriting and risk management practices. Additionally, first quarter earnings provided continued support for shareholders in the form of share repurchases and dividends. I believe our strong Relationships FIRST franchise and balance sheet, including a sizable amount of unencumbered assets and borrowing capacity, position EagleBank well to meet the banking needs of the communities and customers we serve."

    "We once again thank all of our employees for their commitment in serving the needs of our clients and communities. Additionally, we remain committed to a culture of respect, diversity and inclusion in both the workplace and the communities we serve."

    Income Statement

    • Net interest income was $75.0 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $85.6 million for the prior quarter and $80.5 million for the year-ago quarter. The decrease in net interest income from the prior quarter was primarily driven by the impact of higher interest rates paid on deposits, a change in the funding mix reflecting a higher level of borrowings at rates higher than those of the deposits the borrowings replaced, and, late in the quarter, a shift in noninterest bearing deposit accounts to interest bearing deposit accounts. Higher interest rates also benefited loan yields as variable rate loans adjusted upward, new loans were added at current rates and total loans were higher, but the increase to interest income was less than the increase in interest expense on average deposits and average borrowings.
    • Net interest margin ("NIM") was 2.77% for the first quarter 2023, compared to 3.14% for the prior quarter and 2.65% for the year-ago quarter. The decrease in margin from the prior quarter was 37 basis points. The NIM contraction was based on the cost of funds increasing by 81 basis points, partially offset by the yield on earning assets increasing 44 basis points.
      • The yield on interest earning assets, which is inclusive of the yields on loans and securities, was 5.17% for the first quarter 2023 compared to 4.73% for the prior quarter and 2.91% for the year-ago quarter. The increase of 44 basis points from the prior quarter was from variable rate loans adjusting upward, higher rates on newly originated loans and higher rates on short-term investments.
      • The yield on the loan portfolio was 6.35% for the first quarter 2023, compared to 5.87% for the prior quarter and 4.35% for the year-ago quarter. The increase of 48 basis points from the prior quarter was from variable rate loans adjusting upward and from higher rates on newly originated loans.
      • The cost of funds was 2.40% for first quarter 2023, compared to 1.59% for the prior quarter and 0.26% for the year-ago quarter. The increase of 81 basis points from the prior quarter was primarily due to higher rates paid on savings and money market accounts and a change in the funding mix reflecting a higher level of borrowings at rates higher than those of the deposits the borrowings replaced. Additionally, late in the quarter, some noninterest bearing deposit accounts moved to interest bearing deposit accounts.
    • Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR"),4 a non-GAAP measure, was $38.1 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to $52.0 million for the prior quarter and $56.9 million for the year-ago quarter. As a percent of average assets, PPNR for the first quarter 2023 was 1.35%5, compared to 1.83%5 for the prior quarter and 1.79%5 for the year-ago quarter. This decrease in both PPNR and PPNR as a percent of average assets from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to the decrease in net interest income as a percent of average assets (down 35 bps) as the rise in deposit and borrowing costs increased interest expense faster than the rise in loan rates increased interest income and, to a lesser extent, the decrease in noninterest income as a percent of average assets (down 6 bps) as the mortgage division ceased taking mortgage applications in the first quarter of 2023.

    • Provision for credit losses on loans was $6.2 million for the first quarter 2023, compared to a reversal of $0.5 million for the prior quarter and a reversal of $2.8 million for the year-ago quarter. The increase in the first quarter 2023 provision over the prior quarter was primarily driven by changes in the qualitative and environmental ("Q&E") portion of the credit model associated with an additional allowance for commercial real estate office properties, and an increase in loans. Additionally, $1.2 million of the first quarter 2023 provision related to several corporate bonds in the securities portfolio. Corporate bonds represented less than 4% of the book value of the securities portfolio (combined available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios).
    • Noninterest income was $3.7 million for the first quarter 2023, as compared to $5.3 million for the prior quarter and $7.5 million for the year-ago quarter. The primary driver for the decrease in the first quarter 2023 and the prior quarter as compared to the year-ago quarter is higher rates on mortgage loans leading to fewer mortgage originations. Additionally, the residential mortgage division ceased taking mortgage applications in the first quarter of 2023.
    • Noninterest expense was $40.6 million for the first quarter 2023 compared to $38.9 million for the prior quarter and $31.0 million for the year-ago quarter. Noninterest expense was up $1.7 million from the prior quarter, which included a $958 thousand one-time reversal of a legal accounts receivable (described below). The notable changes from the prior quarter were as follows:
      • Salaries and employee benefits were $24.2 million, up $483 thousand from the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to a combination of higher employee benefit costs and higher payroll taxes offset by lower incentive accruals.
      • Legal, accounting and professional fees were $3.3 million, up $701 thousand from the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $958 thousand reversal of legal accounts receivable as Directors & Officers insurance availability relating to the previously settled litigations and investigations was fully depleted.
      • Marketing and advertising expenses were $636 thousand, down $654 thousand from the prior quarter as advertising and promotion costs were reduced.
      • Other expenses were $4.6 million, up $1.4 million from the prior quarter. The increase was primarily attributable to compensation for the Company's Executive Chairman.

    At the end of the quarter, the Alexandria, Virginia branch was closed as it had an expiring lease. This reduced our branch count to fifteen and the annualized pre-tax cost savings in rental expense will be approximately $197 thousand.

    • Efficiency ratio6 was 51.6% for the first quarter 2023 compared to 42.8% for the prior quarter and 35.3% for the year-ago quarter. The increase in the efficiency ratio this quarter was primarily driven by the impact of higher interest rates on funding driving down net interest income, rather than an increase in noninterest expense. In comparison to the prior quarter, net interest income as a percent of average assets was down 35 basis points while noninterest expense as a percent of average assets was up 7 basis points.
    • Effective income tax rate for the first quarter 2023 was 22.1%, compared to 19.3% for the prior quarter and 23.4% for the year-ago quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate from the prior quarter was due to the prior quarter including an update to our apportionment of revenues among the states in which we operate.

    Balance Sheet

    • Total assets were $11.1 billion at March 31, 2023, down 0.6% from a quarter ago and down 1.2% from a year ago. The decrease in assets from the prior quarter-end was primarily from a reduction in interest bearing deposits with other banks, securities and Fed Funds sold, partially offset by higher loans.
    • Investment securities Available-for-Sale ("AFS") had a balance of $1.6 billion at March 31, 2023, down 1.0% from a quarter ago and down 10.9% from a year ago. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was primarily from principal paydowns and maturities received, offset by a slightly higher carrying value on AFS securities. No new investments were purchased during the first quarter of 2023.
    • Investment securities Held-to-Maturity ("HTM") had a balance of $1.1 billion at March 31, 2023, down 1.7% from a quarter ago and down 6.8% from a year ago. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was primarily from principal paydowns and maturities received, as well as a higher credit reserve placed against several corporate bond securities within the portfolio. No new investments were purchased during the first quarter of 2023.

      Investment securities HTM had a fair value which was $112 million less than carrying value at quarter-end, compared to a difference of $125 million a quarter ago.
    • Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $7.7 billion at March 31, 2023, up 1.3% from a quarter ago and up 8.8% from a year ago. The increase in total loans from the prior quarter-end was driven by growth in commercial real estate ("CRE") loans and commercial & industrial loans ("C&I"). The increase in loans and the decrease in deposits increased the loan-to-deposit ratio to 104% from 88% the prior quarter.
    • Allowance for credit losses was 1.01% of total loans at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.97% a quarter ago, and 1.01% a year ago. See commentary above in section "Provision for Credit Losses on Loans".

      Net charge-off was $975 thousand for the quarter, which as a percent of average loans (excluding loans held for sale)7 was 0.05% for the first quarter 2023, compared to 0.05% a quarter ago, and 0.03% the year-ago quarter.
    • Nonperforming loans and assets were $6.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, at March 31, 2023.
      • Nonperforming loans as a percent of loans were 0.09% at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.08% a quarter ago and 0.33% a year ago. At quarter end, the number of nonperforming notes was 18, down from 21 the prior quarter end.
      • Nonperforming assets as a percent of assets were 0.08% at March 31, 2023, compared to 0.08% a quarter ago and 0.23% a year ago. At quarter end, other real estate owned ("OREO") consisted of four properties with an aggregate value of $2.0 million.
      • Loans 30-89 days late were $15.7 million at March 31, 2023, up from $2.2 million a quarter ago and $13.0 million a year ago. The increase from the prior quarter was from one credit for $14.1 million, which has since been brought current.
    • Total deposits were $7.5 billion at March 31, 2023, down 14.3% from a quarter ago and down 22.1% from a year ago. The decrease from the prior quarter-end was primarily attributable to outflows from noninterest bearing deposits and savings/money market accounts, partially offset by the increase in time deposits. For the quarter, average noninterest bearing deposits to average total deposits was 37.4% for the first quarter 2023, down from 40.9% a quarter ago and up from 36.1% for the year-ago quarter. The percentage in the first quarter 2023 reflected lower noninterest bearing deposits, partially offset by lower average deposits.

      Total estimated uninsured deposits at March 31, 2023 were $3.2 billion8, or 42.9% of deposits.
    • Other short-term borrowings were $2.1 billion at March 31, 2023, up from $975 million a quarter ago, and up from $150 million a year ago. The increase in borrowings from the prior quarter-end was primarily driven by the decrease in total deposits and, to a lesser extent, loan growth. These short-term borrowings consisted of $800 million from the BTFP secured by U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities as collateral, and $1.3 billion from the FHLB secured by collateral consisting of qualifying loans in the Bank's commercial mortgage, residential mortgage and home equity loan portfolios as well as qualifying securities. The BTFP provides a source of liquidity in addition to sources available from the FHLB and others. The Company drew advances from the BTFP to optimize its funding mix taking into account collateral terms and interest rates at the time the program was accessed. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had aggregate undrawn borrowing capacity of $1.7 billion, which includes $689 million in additional aggregate capacity to borrow with the FHLB and BTFP on assets that have been pledged and unencumbered securities totaling approximately $1.0 billion available for pledging to the FHLB or BTFP.
      • BTFP borrowings were $800 million at March 31, 2023 with a rate of 4.38% for a term of up to one year.
      • FHLB borrowings were $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023 with a floating rate, at an average rate of 5.08%.
    • Total shareholders’ equity was $1.2 billion at March 31, 2023, up 1.1% from a quarter ago, and down 2.9% from a year ago. The increase in shareholders' equity of $13.6 million from the prior quarter-end was primarily from net income and improved valuations of AFS securities, partially offset by reductions in capital from the impact of share repurchases and dividends declared. Net income for the quarter was $0.78 per share and dividends declared were $0.45 per share.
      • Book value per share was $39.92, up $0.74 from a quarter ago, and up $0.03 from a year ago.
      • Tangible book value per share9 was $36.57, up $0.71 from a quarter ago, and down $0.07 from a year ago.
    • Dividends: On March 16, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share payable on April 28, 2023 to shareholders of record on April 6, 2023.
    • Stock Repurchases: During the quarter, the Company repurchased 400,000 shares at an average price of $45.65 per share (including commissions), totaling an aggregate of $18.3 million.
    • Capital ratios for the Company are in the table below. Regulatory capital ratios for the Company continue to be strong and in excess of the regulatory requirements (inclusive of applicable buffers). Regulatory capital ratios based on risk weighted assets were down primarily on the increase in risk weighted assets from the prior quarter. Common capital ratios were higher as retained earnings and reduction in unrealized losses on investment securities AFS led to an increase in both equity and tangible common equity, and assets and tangible assets were slightly lower than the prior quarter.

    Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio"), tangible book value per common share, and the return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates the annualized return on average tangible common equity ratio by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders’ equity. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios, and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The above table provides reconciliation of these financial measures defined by GAAP with non-GAAP financial measures.

    Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates PPNR by subtracting noninterest expenses from the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. PPNR to Average Assets is calculated by dividing the PPNR amount by average assets to obtain a percentage. The Company considers this information important to shareholders because it illustrates revenue excluding the impact of provisions and reversals to the allowance for credit losses on loans. The table in the "Income Statement" section of this earnings release provides a reconciliation of PPNR and PPNR to Average Assets to the nearest GAAP measure.

    Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing GAAP non-interest expense by the sum of GAAP net interest income and GAAP non-interest (loss) income. The Company believes that reporting the non-GAAP efficiency ratio more closely measures its effectiveness of controlling operational activities. The table above shows the calculation of the efficiency ratio from these GAAP measures.
