SmartFinancial, Inc.: SmartFinancial Announces Results for the Third Quarter 2023

Finanznachrichten News

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SmartFinancial, Inc. ("SmartFinancial" or the "Company"; NASDAQ: SMBK), today announced net income of $2.1 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $11.5 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022, and compared to prior quarter net income of $8.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share. Operating earnings1, which excludes securities gains (losses) and merger related and restructuring expenses, net of tax adjustments, totaled $7.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $11.6 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, in the third quarter of 2022, and compared to $8.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share, in the second quarter of 2023.

Highlights for the Third Quarter of 2023

  • Operating earnings1 of $7.2 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share
  • Repositioned $159.6 million of available-for-sale securities, moving into higher yielding assets
  • Net organic loan and lease growth of $42 million - 5% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase
  • Credit quality remains solid with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.12%
  • Deposit growth of $46.9 million - 4.5% annualized quarter-over-quarter increase

Billy Carroll, President & CEO, stated: "Our Company and employees continue to operate at a high level, providing excellent client service while tactfully navigating a difficult operating landscape. During September, we strategically took advantage of a balance sheet optimization opportunity, reallocating $160 million from low-yielding investments into higher yielding assets. We felt it prudent to capitalize on the current rate environment and better position our balance sheet as we look toward 2024. Our team continues to grow new loan and deposit relationships despite the higher rate headwinds, a testament to their professionalism and reputations within their respective markets. As our Bank absorbs and moves through the impacts of the recent Fed rate increases, we look forward to continued revenue expansion and remain bullish on our Company outlook."

SmartFinancial's Chairman, Miller Welborn, concluded: "The entire SmartBank team worked diligently over the past quarter and, quite frankly, over the entire year to exceed client expectations and drive consistent growth. However, this quarter I was especially pleased that SmartBank was once again honored with the "Top Workplace" designation as voted on by employees for the seventh year in a row! I'm so proud of where we are as a company and extremely optimistic about the future."

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $31.0 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $31.6 million for the prior quarter. Average earning assets totaled $4.40 billion, an increase of $58.5 million from the prior quarter. The increase in average earnings assets was primarily driven by an increase in average loans and leases of $52.1 million and average interest-earning cash of $34.2 million, offset by a decrease in average securities of $27.8 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $73.5 million from the prior quarter, attributable to an increase in average deposits of $82.1 million, offset by a decrease in average borrowings of $8.6 million.

The tax equivalent net interest margin was 2.81% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 2.93% for the prior quarter. The tax equivalent net interest margin was negatively impacted by the continued rise in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and increased pricing competition. The yield on loans and leases, excluding loan fees was 5.52% for the third quarter, compared to 5.39% for the prior quarter.

The cost of total deposits for the third quarter of 2023 was 2.20% compared to 1.89% in the prior quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 2.89% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2.53% for the prior quarter. The cost of average interest-bearing deposits was 2.84% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 2.46% for the prior quarter, an increase of 38 basis points. The increase in the cost of deposits is due to an increase in interest rates, customer migration to higher rate deposit products and increased competition for deposits.

The following table presents selected interest rates and yields for the periods indicated:

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $6.4 million to $691 thousand for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $7.1 million for the prior quarter.

Excluding the loss on securities, noninterest income increased $362 thousand.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million to $28.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $27.4 million for the prior quarter. The current quarter increase was primarily related to increases in health insurance claims, incentives and additional commission expense associated with higher production from our leasing company, wealth and capital markets teams.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense was $319 thousand for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $2.0 million, compared to $2.3 million for the prior quarter.

The effective tax rate was 13.37% for the third quarter of 2023 and 20.98% for the prior quarter. The primary reason for the 7.61% decline in the effective tax rate was due to lower earnings, largely from the $6.8 million pre-tax loss on sale of available-for-sale securities during the quarter.

Balance Sheet Trends

Total assets at September 30, 2023 were $4.80 billion compared to $4.64 billion at December 31, 2022. The $159.7 million increase is primarily attributable to increases in loans and leases of $125.4 million, cash and cash equivalents of $133.8 million and other assets of $15.1 million. Asset increases were offset by a decrease in securities of $102.4 million and an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $10.4 million, primarily for the one-time adjustment of $8.7 million related to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") on January 1, 2023.

Total liabilities increased to $4.35 billion at September 30, 2023 from $4.21 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase of $145.5 million was primarily from organic deposit growth of $169.4 million, offset by a decrease in borrowings of $27.7 million.

Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2023 totaled $446.7 million, an increase of $14.2 million, from December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders' equity was primarily driven by net income of $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, offset by the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023, of $6.6 million (net of taxes), and dividends paid of $4.1 million. Tangible book value per share1 was $19.94 at September 30, 2023, compared to $19.09 at December 31, 2022. Tangible common equity1 as a percentage of tangible assets1 was 7.23% at September 30, 2023, compared with 7.13% at December 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Statements included in this earnings release include measures not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and therefore are considered non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. SmartFinancial management uses several Non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) operating earnings, (ii) operating return on average assets, (iii) operating pre-provision net revenue return on average assets, (iv) operating return on average shareholders' equity, (v) return on average tangible common equity, (vi) operating return on average tangible common equity, (vii) operating efficiency ratio, (viii) operating noninterest income, (ix) operating pre-provision net revenue earnings, (x) operating noninterest expense, (xi) tangible common equity, (xii) average tangible common equity, (xiii) tangible book value, (xiv) tangible assets; and ratios derived therefrom, in its analysis of the company's performance. Operating earnings excludes the following from net income: securities gains and losses and merger related and restructuring expenses. Operating return on average assets is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average assets. Operating pre-provision net revenue return on average assets is the annualized operating pre-provision net revenue income earnings (Non-GAAP) by average assets. Operating return on average shareholders' equity is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average equity. Return on average tangible common equity is the annualized net income divided by average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP). Operating return on average tangible common equity is the annualized operating earnings (Non-GAAP) divided by average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP). The operating efficiency ratio includes an adjustment for taxable equivalent yields and excludes securities gains and losses and merger related and restructuring expenses from the efficiency ratio. Operating noninterest income excludes the following from noninterest income: securities gains and losses. Operating pre-provision net revenue earnings is net interest income plus operating noninterest income (Non-GAAP) less operating noninterest expense (Non-GAAP). Operating noninterest expense excludes the following from noninterest expense: prior year adjustments to salaries, merger related and restructuring expenses and certain franchise tax true-up expenses. Tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) and average tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from shareholders' equity and average shareholders' equity, respectively. Tangible book value (Non-GAAP) is tangible common equity (Non-GAAP) divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible assets (Non-GAAP) excludes goodwill and other intangibles from total assets. Management believes that Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows investors to evaluate the ongoing performance of the company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Management believes these Non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results and allow investors and company management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
