MATTOON, Ill., Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMBH) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Highlights
- Net income of $17.9 million, or $0.88 diluted EPS
- Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $18.5 million, or $0.90 diluted EPS
- Solid loan growth of $71.6 million, or 1.5% for the quarter
- Strong asset quality ratios with adversely classified loans declining by 15.3% for the quarter
- Board of Directors declares regular quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share
“Our third quarter results were highlighted by solid loan growth and the strength in the credit quality of our loan portfolio,” said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our diversified revenue sources continued to perform well with wealth management and insurance driving a year-over-year increase in noninterest income, despite significantly lower mortgage banking revenues. Net interest income and margin increased in the period, despite the significant movement in interest rates by the Federal Reserve adding pressure on funding costs.”
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 increased by $1.4 million, or 3.1% compared to the second quarter of 2022. Interest income increased by $5.5 million primarily driven by loan growth and higher interest rates. Interest expense increased by $4.0 million on increased rates and higher balances. Accretion income was the same as the previous quarter at $0.9 million.
In comparison to the third quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $2.8 million, or 6.1%. The increase was primarily the result of organic loan growth, the impact of the Jefferson Bank and Trust (“Jefferson”) acquisition, and rising interest rates.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.21% for the third quarter of 2022, which was an increase of 1 basis point compared to the prior quarter. Earning asset yields increased by 27 basis points and the average cost of funds increased 26 basis points.
In comparison to the third quarter of last year, the net interest margin decreased 17 basis points. The primary reasons for the decrease were due to $0.7 million of lower accretion income and $5.1 million of lower PPP fee income compared to the third quarter of 2021.
Loan Portfolio
Total loans ended the quarter at $4.72 billion, representing an increase of $71.6 million compared to the prior quarter. Growth occurred in all sectors, except multifamily, which had multiple payoffs in the quarter from customer asset sales.
Asset Quality
First Mid’s asset quality continues to be very strong and positioned well for the varying economic cycles. On a combined basis, special mention and substandard loans decreased in the quarter by $11.3 million. As of September 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) decreased by $0.3 million to $58.8 million with an ending ACL to total loans ratio of 1.25%. In addition, the Company has $7.6 million, or 16 basis points, of discount remaining on purchased loans. Provision expense was recorded in the amount of $0.1 million and net charge offs totaled $0.4 million. Also, at the end of the third quarter, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.44%, and the ACL to non-performing loans was 282%. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.38% at quarter end. Nonperforming loans increased $0.8 million in the period to $20.8 million.
Deposits
Total deposits ended the quarter at $5.48 billion, which represented an increase of $164.2 million from the prior quarter. The increase was primarily in money market balances where funds were moved from lower interest-bearing products and balances added from customer asset sales. The Company’s average rate on cost of funds was 0.56% compared to 0.30% in the prior quarter, and 0.29% versus the third quarter of 2021.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $16.8 million compared to $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease was expected as the third quarter typically reflects a seasonal decline in our wealth management revenues from farmland sales and in insurance renewals. Wealth management revenue was down $0.6 million and insurance revenue was down $1.5 million from the prior quarter. These declines were partially offset by increases in service charges and other income.
In comparison to the third quarter of 2021, noninterest income increased $0.4 million, or 2.6%. This increase is a testament to the strength of our diversification in revenues with wealth management and insurance driving the growth, which more than offset mortgage banking declines. The year-over-year increase in wealth management and insurance was a combined 10.6%.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 totaled $41.5 million, which was flat compared to the prior quarter. The current quarter included $0.7 million of nonrecurring integration expenses for the Jefferson acquisition compared to $1.0 million in the second quarter. The current quarter also included an increase of $0.4 million of provision for unfunded commitments.
In comparison to the third quarter of 2021, noninterest expenses increased $5.2 million. The increase was primarily driven by the additional expense related to the Jefferson acquisition and overall inflationary changes.
The Company’s efficiency ratio, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the third quarter 2022 was 59.6% compared to 58.5% in the prior quarter and 52.7% for the same period last year.
Capital Levels and Dividend
The Company’s capital levels remained strong and comfortably above the “well capitalized” levels. Capital levels ended the period as follows:
Total capital to risk-weighted assets 15.11% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 12.28% Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 11.91% Leverage ratio 9.52% The Company’s Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.23 payable on December 1, 2022 for shareholders of record on November 17, 2022.
