    Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 25 Oct 2023 15:05:02   America/Chicago

    MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ GS: HBNC) – Horizon Bancorp, Inc. (“Horizon” or the “Company”), the parent company of Horizon Bank (the “Bank”), announced its unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

    “Horizon's third quarter performance demonstrated our diversified lending platform's ability to produce solid growth while successfully continuing to shift our loan mix to higher yielding assets. This strategy paired with the strength of our credit culture will continue to add value over time,” President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas M. Prame said. “Horizon's core deposit funding base remained stable and our business units provided another promising quarter of non–interest income results. Recognizing the near term headwinds facing the banking industry, Horizon remains dedicated to disciplined expense management and prudently deploying resources into new revenue opportunities that can quickly realize positive momentum.”

    Third Quarter 2023 Highlights

    • Net income was $16.2 million or $0.37 per diluted share. This compared to $18.8 million or $0.43 in the second quarter of 2023, which included an after–tax benefit of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.02 per share on a non–recurring swap termination fee.

    • Loans totaled $4.36 billion at period end, increasing by 8.2% annualized during the quarter and 6.4% annualized since December 31, 2022. Commercial loan growth totaled $83.0 million, increasing by 13.1% annualized during the quarter and 6.6% annualized since December 31, 2022.

    • Deposits remained resilient, totaling $5.7 billion at period end, compared to $5.7 billion on June 30, 2023. Brokered deposits and wholesale borrowing levels were consistent with second quarter balances.

    • Net interest income was $42.1 million. This compared to $46.2 million in the linked quarter, which benefited from the aforementioned non–recurring swap termination fee by $1.5 million.

    • Non–interest income expanded to $11.8 million from $11.0 million in the linked quarter, primarily due to higher mortgage–related revenue.

    • Well–managed non–interest expense was $36.2 million, or 1.81% of average assets annualized. Results slightly improved from the second quarter, even with an additional $460,000 in FDIC insurance expense.

    • Maintained sound asset quality, with 30 to 89 days delinquent loans representing 0.30% of total loans and non–performing loans representing 0.45% of total loans at period end, as well as net charge–offs representing 0.02% of average loans during the quarter.

    • Horizon's dividend performance included a 5.99% yield as of September 30, 2023, with cash maintained at the holding company level representing approximately eight quarters of dividend payments and fixed costs.

    Income Statement Highlights

    Net income for the third quarter of 2023 was $16.2 million, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share, compared to $18.8 million, or $0.43, for the linked quarter and $23.8 million, or $0.55, for the prior year period. The change in net income for the third quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter, reflects growth in non–interest income of $833,000 and decreases in credit loss expense of $417,000, income tax expense of $168,000 and non–interest expense of $94,000, offset by a decrease in net interest income of $4.1 million.

    Net interest income was $42.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $46.2 million in the linked quarter which benefited from a swap termination fee of $1.5 million.

    Total non–interest income of $11.8 million was $833,000 higher in the third quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $615,000 increase in other income and a $577,000 increase in gain on sale of mortgage loans, offset by a decrease of $398,000 in interchange fees.

    Total non–interest expense was $94,000 lower in the third quarter of 2023 when compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $277,000 decrease in loan expense, a $199,000 decrease in outside services and consultants and a $119,000 decrease in other expense, offset by an increase $460,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense from the linked quarter.

    Horizon's effective tax rate was 7.3% for the third quarter of 2023, with income tax expense of $1.3 million decreasing $168,000 when compared to the second quarter of 2023.

    Net Interest Margin

    Horizon’s net interest margin (“NIM”) was 2.41% for the third quarter of 2023. This compared to 2.69% for the second quarter of 2023, when NIM benefited by approximately 0.08% from a non–recurring swap termination fee.

    Net interest margin, excluding the aforementioned swap termination fee in the linked quarter and acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments (“adjusted net interest margin”), was 2.38% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 2.57% for the linked quarter. (See the “Non–GAAP Reconciliation of Net Interest Margin” table below).

    Lending Activity

    Total loan balances and loans held for sale increased to $4.36 billion on September 30, 2023 compared to $4.27 billion on June 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, commercial loans increased $83.0 million, consumer loans increased $25.6 million and residential mortgage loans increased $648,000, offset by a decrease in mortgage warehouse loans of $16.4 million and loans held for sale of $4.1 million.

    Lending activity in the third quarter was led by strong results of our relationship banking model in commercial lending. Mortgage banking activities aligned with client demand in a continuing rising interest rate environment, while the lift in consumer balances was primarily in home equity loans, which offset a decrease in indirect auto lending. These results reflect the continued strategic shift of the organization to focus on higher yielding assets.

The Bank's tenured and granular core deposit relationships remain steadfast, reflecting the value of Horizon's relationship banking model and local community engagement.

    Capital

    The capital resources of the Company and the Bank continued to exceed regulatory capital ratios for “well capitalized” banks at September 30, 2023. Stockholders’ equity totaled $693.4 million at September 30, 2023 and the ratio of average stockholders’ equity to average assets was 8.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

    Tangible book value, which excludes intangible assets from total equity, per common share (“TBVPS”) was $12.00, decreasing $0.34 during the third quarter of 2023, as meaningfully higher interest rates led to unrealized net losses on securities available for sale (“AFS”) of $2.83 per common share, reducing accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by $25.5 million in the three months ending September 30, 2023. TBVPS increased by $0.41 during the first nine months of the year. Tangible common equity was changed modestly to 6.72% of tangible assets as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of 19 basis points during the quarter but still elevated by 16 basis points since December 31, 2022.

    Use of Non–GAAP Financial Measures

    Certain information set forth in this press release refers to financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we have included non–GAAP financial measures relating to net income, diluted earnings per share, pre–tax, pre–provision net income, net interest margin, tangible stockholders’ equity and tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio, the return on average assets, the return on average common equity, and return on average tangible equity. In each case, we have identified special circumstances that we consider to be non–recurring and have excluded them. We believe that this shows the impact of such events as acquisition–related purchase accounting adjustments and swap termination fees, among others we have identified in our reconciliations. Horizon believes these non–GAAP financial measures are helpful to investors and provide a greater understanding of our business and financial results without giving effect to the purchase accounting impacts and one–time costs of acquisitions and non–recurring items. These measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. See the tables and other information below and contained elsewhere in this press release for reconciliations of the non–GAAP information identified herein and its most comparable GAAP measures.
