Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. Reports Earnings of $0.45 Per Share in 4Q22 and $1.69 Per Share in 2022; Net Loan Growth Up 2.6% From Prior Quarter; Board of Directors Increase Annual Dividend 12% to $0.29 Per Share

Finanznachrichten News

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., Jan. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Citizens Community Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: CZWI), the parent company of Citizens Community Federal N.A. (the "Bank" or "CCFBank"), today reported earnings of $4.7 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.45 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.0 million and $0.38 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and $6.1 million and $0.58 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, earnings were $17.8 million, or $1.69 per diluted share, compared to earnings of $21.3 million, or $1.98 per diluted share for the prior year.

The Company's fourth quarter 2022 operating results reflected the following changes from the third quarter of 2022: (1) higher non-interest income of $0.4 million due to increases in net gains on investment securities of $0.8 million due to the write-up on equity securities to estimated fair value, partially offset by lower fee income; (2) lower non-interest expense of $0.9 million primarily due to various compensation decreases and gains on sale of repossessed assets; and (3) higher loan loss provision due to loan growth.

"Our fourth quarter results reflect strong loan growth and improved operating efficiencies," stated Stephen Bianchi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In anticipation of inflationary increases within vendor contracts and higher compensation expense, our team continued to identify expense savings including the closing of two branches during the fourth quarter and one branch during the prior quarter. Net loan growth of 2.6% compared to the linked quarter was solid, although we see annual loan growth moderating to low single digit percentage growth in 2023 and typically Q1 is challenging as winter persists. Higher interest rates also appear to be affecting new project feasibility, but we continue to see unemployment below national averages in our markets and customer attitudes are generally positive about the coming year."

Book value per share was $16.03 at December 31, 2022, compared to $15.59 at September 30, 2022, and $16.27 at December 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP)1 was $12.77 at December 31, 2022, compared to $12.32 at September 30, 2022, and $12.90 at December 31, 2021. For the quarter, tangible book value increased by net income and intangible amortization, partially offset by an increase in unrealized losses in the securities available for sale portfolio. These unrealized losses have negatively impacted both book and tangible book value in the second, third and fourth quarters, with the amount of the unrealized loss moderating in the third and fourth quarters of 2022. For the year, net income was mostly offset by the unrealized loss impact on book value resulting in tangible book value per share declining slightly at December 31, 2022 compared to one year earlier.

December 31, 2022 Highlights: (as of or for the 3-month period ended December 31, 2022 compared to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.)

  • Quarterly earnings of $4.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, increased from the quarter ended September 30, 2022, earnings of $4.0 million or $0.38 per diluted share, and decreased from the quarter ended December 31, 2021, earnings of $6.1 million or $0.58 per diluted share.
  • Quarterly earnings, as adjusted (non-GAAP)1, were $5.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4.2 million or $0.40 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and $6.1 million or $0.58 per diluted share for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.
  • Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022, were $17.8 million, or $1.69 per share, which is a decrease from $21.3 million, or $1.98 per share, for the prior year. The Company grew net interest income, despite lower SBA PPP net loan fee accretion in 2022 compared to 2021. The positive benefit of higher net interest income was more than offset by higher provision for loan losses, lower gain on sale of loans and a modest increase in non-interest expense. The non-interest expense increase in 2022 reflected the new market tax credit depletion and branch closure expenses. Annual earnings as adjusted (non-GAAP)1 were $18.5 million, or $1.76 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $21.3 million, or $1.99 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021.
  • Net interest income was flat from the third quarter of 2022 at $14.5 million and increased $0.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2021 and $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, to $56.4 million. Net interest income was positively impacted by loan growth, the contractual increase in loan and investment yields and lower interest expense on debt due to the mid-August redemption of $15 million of 6.75% subordinated debt. Meanwhile, interest expense on deposits and FHLB borrowed funds increased due to repricing of deposits to higher rates and a larger balance of FHLB borrowings.
  • The net interest margin without SBA PPP net loan fee accretion and loan purchase accretion was flat relative to the previous quarter, ending seven quarters of net interest margin expansion. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the net interest margin without SBA PPP net loan fee accretion and loan purchase accretion was 3.33% compared to 3.09% for the comparable quarter one year earlier.
  • The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, was $0.70 million due to loan growth, compared to $0.38 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and $1.48 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. No loan loss provision was realized during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, or the year ended December 31, 2021, due to lower CARES Act Section 4013 deferrals, low net charge-off or low net recoveries, decreases in criticized assets and improving economic conditions in our markets.
  • The efficiency ratio improved to 61% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from 64% for the quarter September 30, 2022.
  • Originated loans increased by $46.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, with strong originations in commercial real estate, multi-family real estate and residential mortgages held in the loan portfolio. As a result of current market conditions, residential 10/1 ARM loan originations were added to the portfolio. The acquired loan portfolio declined $10.5 million.
  • Nonperforming assets were $12.7 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $12.6 million at September 30, 2022.
  • Substandard loans decreased by $2.9 million to $17.3 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $20.2 million at September 30, 2022.
  • Special mention loans decreased $8.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
  • The Company repurchased 58 thousand shares of the Company's common stock in the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 243 thousand shares remain available for repurchase under the current share repurchase authorization.
  • Stockholders' equity as a percent of total assets was 9.20% at December 31, 2022, compared to 9.17% at September 30, 2022. Tangible common equity ("TCE") as a percent of tangible assets (non-GAAP)1 was 7.47% at December 31, 2022, compared to 7.40% at September 30, 2022.
  • On January 19, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a $0.29 per share annual dividend, an increase of 12%, to shareholders of record as of February 3, 2023 and payable February 17, 2023.
  • In December 2022, a new branch was opened in La Crosse, Wisconsin, bringing the branch count to 23. La Crosse is a market similar to Eau Claire and Mankato and the branch should enhance the efforts of the Company's commercial bankers already working in that market.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Total assets increased modestly by $36.2 million during the quarter to $1.82 billion at December 31, 2022, compared to $1.78 billion at September 30, 2022.

Securities available for sale decreased $1.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, to $166.0 million from $167.8 million at September 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to principal repayments and a modest reduction in the market value of the portfolio, partially offset by the purchase of bank holding company issued capital instruments of $2.8 million.

Securities held to maturity decreased $1.2 million to $96.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, from $97.6 million at September 30, 2022, due to principal repayments.

Total loans receivable increased to $1.412 billion at December 31, 2022, from $1.376 billion at September 30, 2022. The originated loan portfolio increased $46.3 million in the quarter. The growth was due to strong loan fundings and growth in the commercial, multi-family and residential real estate portfolios totaling $49.8 million.

The allowance for loan losses increased to $17.9 million at December 31, 2022, representing 1.27% of total loans receivable. At September 30, 2022, the allowance for loan losses was 1.25% of total loans receivable. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Bank had net recoveries of $22 thousand.

ALL as a percentage of loans, end of period 1.27% 1.25% 1.25% 1.29%

Nonperforming assets remained relatively flat at $12.7 million or 0.70% of total assets at December 31, 2022, compared to $12.6 million or 0.71% at September 30, 2022, as the sale of a closed branch office was offset by the addition of OREO properties associated with recently closed branch office buildings. Acquired nonaccrual loans decreased to $2.3 million at December 31, 2022, from $2.5 million at September 30, 2022. Originated nonperforming assets increased to $10.2 million or 0.56% of total assets for the most recent quarter.

(in thousands)
December 31, 2022 September 30, 2022 June 30, 2022 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Special mention loan balances $12,170 $20,178 $17,274 $1,849 $4,536
Substandard loan balances 17,319 20,227 20,680 24,822 22,817
Criticized loans, end of period $29,489 $40,405 $37,954 $26,671 $27,353

Special mention loans decreased $8.0 million, largely due to principal repayments received.

Substandard loans decreased modestly by $2.9 million to $17.3 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $20.2 million at September 30, 2022. The decrease in the fourth quarter was largely due to the payoff of substandard loans.

Deposits decreased $9.6 million to $1.42 billion at December 31, 2022, from $1.43 billion at September 30, 2022. All deposit categories reflected lower balances except certificate of deposit ("CD") accounts, which increased $36.2 million. The increase partially reflects the addition of $20 million of brokered CD's. The remaining increase in CD's was partially due to customers moving savings balances to CD accounts. Commercial deposits fell in the quarter as commercial customers decreased their cash balances to support the needs of their businesses.

The Company repurchased 58 thousand shares of the Company's common stock in the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 243 thousand shares remain available for repurchase under the current share repurchase authorization.

Review of Operations

Net interest income remained flat at $14.5 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, relative to the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and increased slightly from $14.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, which included $1.3 million of SBA PPP net loan fee accretion. "Our interest rate risk profile remains neutral with repricing asset yields largely offsetting repricing borrowings and deposits. We expect to see a modest reduction in the net interest margin in the first quarter of 2023, due to end of period CD interest rates at December 31, 2022 exceeding average fourth quarter 2022 CD interest rates by 39 basis points. At December 31, 2022, our 13% on-balance sheet liquidity ratio, along with our almost $260 million FHLB borrowing availability was more than sufficient to offset future funding needs," said Jim Broucek, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

The table below shows the impact of accretion related to purchased credit impaired loans and SBA PPP net loan fees on interest income and NIM.

Loan loss provisions for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, were $0.7 million largely reflecting the expanding loan portfolio. Loan loss provisions for the quarters ended September 30, 2022, and June 30, 2022, were $0.4 million, with both quarters helped by reductions in specific reserves due to payoffs on the underlying loans. There were no loan loss provisions for the quarters ended March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Non-interest income increased to $2.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, compared to $2.5 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and decreased from $4.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2022, was largely due to gains on investment securities partially offset by slightly lower service charges on deposit accounts, loan servicing income and loan fees, and service charge income. Relative to the comparable quarter one year earlier, non-interest income was lower as a result of lower gain on sale of loans and lower loan servicing income.

Total non-interest expense decreased $0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $10.3 million, compared to $11.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and $10.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease from the third quarter of 2022 was due to: (1) (a) a decrease in compensation of $0.7 million due to a lower incentive compensation related to the third quarter catch-up accruals of $0.2 million, (b) lower compensation paid due to a lower head count of $0.2 million and (c) some one-time seasonal factors of $0.3 million; (2) a reduction in the amortization of core deposit intangible assets of $0.2 million; and (3) gains on sale of repossessed assets of $0.4 million due to the sale of a closed branch office. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in other non-interest expense of $0.3 million, due to higher branch closure costs primarily associated with reductions in value of the two closed branches in the quarter of $0.6 million.

Provision for income taxes increased to $1.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. The provision for income taxes decreased to $5.8 million for fiscal year 2022 from $7.7 million for fiscal year 2021. The decrease in fiscal year 2022 is due to lower pre-tax income and a lower tax rate due to the impact of the new market tax credit purchased in the first quarter of 2022. The tax credits are expected to be realized over the next seven years. The effective tax rate was 25.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 24.3% the previous quarter and 26.7% for the comparable prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for 2022 was 24.7% compared to 26.6% for the prior year.

These financial results are preliminary until the Form 10-K is filed in March 2023.

1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as net income as adjusted, net income as adjusted per share, tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity as a percent of tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity, which management believes may be helpful in understanding the Company's results of operations or financial position and comparing results over different periods.

Net income as adjusted and net income as adjusted per share are non-GAAP measures that eliminate the impact of certain expenses such as branch closure costs and related severance pay, accelerated depreciation expense and lease termination fees, and the gain on sale of branch deposits and fixed assets. Tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible common equity as a percent of tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP measures that eliminate the impact of goodwill and intangible assets on our financial position. Management believes these measures are useful in assessing the strength of our financial position.

Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in this press release. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks and financial institutions.
