Financial Institutions, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

WARSAW, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Financial Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISI) (the "Company," "we" or "us"), parent company of Five Star Bank (the "Bank") and Courier Capital, LLC ("Courier Capital"), today reported financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Net income was $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $25.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. After preferred dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $13.1 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $25.3 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024, and $13.7 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter 2024 results included $384 thousand of professional services expenses attributed to the deposit-related fraud event disclosed in March 2024 that occurred in the first quarter of 2024. The Company's second quarter 2024 financial results benefited from a $13.5 million pre-tax gain associated with its previously disclosed insurance subsidiary asset sale, and also included $371 thousand of professional services expenses related to the fraud event that were partially offset by a recovery of $143 thousand. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million in the current quarter, compared to a provision of $2.0 million in the linked quarter and a provision of $1.0 million in the prior year quarter.

Third Quarter 2024 Key Results:

  • Net interest margin was 2.89% for the third quarter of 2024, up two basis points compared to the second quarter of 2024, while net interest income of $40.7 million decreased by $512 thousand, or 1.2%, from the linked quarter.
  • Noninterest income was $9.4 million for the current quarter, compared to $24.0 million in the linked quarter, when results benefited from a $13.5 million pre-tax gain associated with the Company's insurance subsidiary asset sale.
  • Total deposits were $5.31 billion at September 30, 2024, up $173.3 million, or 3.4%, from June 30, 2024, driven by seasonality and new business in our public deposit portfolio and non-public deposit growth. Deposits were relatively flat with September 30, 2023, as a $313.3 million reduction in brokered deposits largely offset year-over-year growth in non-public and public deposits.
  • Total loans were $4.40 billion at September 30, 2024, reflecting a decrease of $58.5 million, or 1.3%, from June 30, 2024 and a decrease of $28.2 million, or 0.6%, from September 30, 2023.
  • Noninterest expense of $32.5 million for the current quarter was down $551 thousand, or 1.7%, from the second quarter of 2024 and down $2.3 million, or 6.5%, from the third quarter of 2023.
  • Regulatory and tangible capital ratios continued to expand on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis.
  • The Company maintained solid credit quality metrics, as measured by annualized net charge-offs to average loans of 0.15% for the current quarter, compared to 0.10% in the linked quarter and 0.14%, in the third quarter of 2023.

"Our third quarter results were highlighted by strong deposit growth, incremental net interest margin expansion, solid expense management, and continued build in our regulatory and tangible capital ratios. We remain very focused on driving sustainable growth across each of our retail banking, commercial banking and wealth management business lines. Supporting that focus is our strategic decision to begin to wind-down our Banking-as-a-Service, or BaaS, offerings, announced in September," said President and Chief Executive Officer Martin K. Birmingham.

"While total loans were down during the quarter, as growth in commercial mortgage and stability in residential loans and lines were offset by declines in commercial business and consumer indirect loans, we continue to see excellent opportunity in our geographic markets to drive credit-disciplined loan growth. Our regulatory and tangible capital positions further improved during the quarter, including a common equity tier 1 ratio of 10.28%, up 25 basis points from June 30, 2024 and up 102 basis points from September 30, 2023. Tangible common book value per share(1) grew by 8% and 32% from the end of the linked and year-ago quarters, respectively," Mr. Birmingham added.

Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer W. Jack Plants II commented, "We saw further margin expansion on a linked quarter basis and our ability to drive solid deposit growth provided us with capacity to further reduce short-term borrowings during the quarter. From a credit perspective, we did move one commercial relationship to non-performing status during the third quarter, which drove the increase in non-performing assets as compared to June 30, 2024. We remain very confident in the overall health of our loan portfolio and we are comfortable with our reserve levels, as our allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio expanded two basis points during the third quarter to 1.01%. As of September 30, 2024, we have approximately $1.4 billion in available liquidity and more than $1.1 billion in cash flow anticipated in the next 12 months."

Orderly Wind Down of BaaS Offerings

On September 16, 2024, the Company announced its intent to begin an orderly wind down of its BaaS offerings, following a careful review by the Company's executive management and the Board of Directors undertaken in conjunction with its annual strategic planning process. As of September 30, 2024, deposits and loans related to the Bank's BaaS offerings totaled $103 million and $29 million, respectively. The Company continues to preliminarily target completion of the wind down sometime in 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $40.7 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $512 thousand from the second quarter of 2024, of which $439 thousand was attributable to the impact of the increase in non-performing loans, partially offset by lower funding costs as a result of the Company's reduction of short term borrowings and brokered deposits, and a decrease of $1.0 million from the third quarter of 2023 due primarily to higher funding costs on a year-over-year basis.

Average interest-earning assets for the current quarter were $5.61 billion, a decrease of $154.2 million from the second quarter of 2024 due to an $84.6 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Reserve interest-earning cash, a $47.8 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a $21.8 million decrease in average loans. Average interest-earning assets for the current quarter were $92.4 million lower than the third quarter of 2023 due to an $83.5 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a $13.2 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Reserve interest-earning cash, partially offset by a $4.3 million increase in average loans.

Average interest-bearing liabilities for the current quarter were $4.40 billion, a decrease of $148.3 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a $97.8 million decrease in average savings and money market deposits, a $49.6 million decrease in average interest-bearing demand deposits, and an $11.0 million decrease in average short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $10.1 million increase in average time deposits. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2024 were $27.2 million lower than the year-ago quarter primarily due to a $93.4 million decrease in average short-term borrowings, a $75.2 million decrease in average interest-bearing demand deposits, and a $48.3 million decrease in average time deposits, partially offset by a $189.7 million increase in average savings and money market account deposits.

Net interest margin was 2.89% in the current quarter, 2.87% in the second quarter of 2024, and 2.91% in the third quarter of 2023. The linked quarter expansion was due to an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by an increase in the overall cost of funds. The year-over-year decline primarily was a result of higher funding costs amid the current high interest rate environment, partially offset by an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $9.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $14.6 million from the second quarter of 2024 and a decrease of $1.0 million from the third quarter of 2023.

  • The Company's sale of the assets of its insurance subsidiary generated a net gain of $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 and an additional gain on sale adjustment of $138 thousand in the third quarter of 2024. Given the April 1, 2024 transaction close, insurance income in the third quarter of 2024 was $3 thousand, compared to $4 thousand and $1.7 million in the linked and year-ago periods, respectively.
  • Investment advisory income of $2.8 million was relatively flat with the second quarter of 2024 and up $253 thousand, or 9.9%, from the third quarter of 2023. The variance from the prior year period was largely due to a market-driven increase in assets under management in addition to business development.
  • Income from company owned life insurance of $1.4 million was $44 thousand higher than the second quarter of 2024 and $377 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase was due to a higher crediting rate on proceeds deployed during the previously disclosed surrender and redeploy strategy executed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • Income from investments in limited partnerships of $400 thousand was $403 thousand lower than the second quarter of 2024 and flat with the third quarter of 2023. The Company previously made several investments in limited partnerships, primarily small business investment companies, and accounts for these investments under the equity method. Income from these investments fluctuates based on the maturity and performance of the underlying investments.
  • Income from derivative instruments, net was $212 thousand in the current quarter, $377 thousand in the second quarter of 2024 and $219 thousand in the third quarter of 2023. Income from derivative instruments, net is based on the number and value of interest rate swap transactions executed during the quarter combined with the impact of changes in the fair value of borrower-facing trades.
  • A net loss on tax credit investments of $170 thousand was recognized in the current quarter related to tax credit investments placed in service in the current and prior quarters. This compares to a net gain of $406 thousand and a net loss of $333 thousand in the second quarter of 2024 and third quarter of 2023, respectively.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $32.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $33.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $34.7 million in the third quarter of 2023.

  • Salaries and employee benefits expense of $15.9 million was $131 thousand higher than the second quarter of 2024 and $2.3 million lower than the third quarter of 2023. The decrease from the third quarter of 2023 was due to a combination of the previously mentioned insurance agency asset sale and the Company's previously disclosed fourth quarter 2023 leadership and organizational changes, which reduced salaries and wages between periods.
  • Occupancy and equipment expenses of $3.4 million were $78 thousand and $421 thousand lower than the linked and year-ago quarter, respectively. The year-over-year variance was due in part to the timing of equipment purchases.
  • Professional services expenses of $2.0 million were $171 thousand higher than the second quarter of 2024 and $889 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023. Both the linked quarter and year-over-year variances were primarily attributable to legal expenses incurred in the second and third quarters of 2024 related to the Company's previously disclosed fraud event.
  • Computer and data processing expense of $5.4 million was relatively flat with the second quarter of 2024 and $246 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023, with the year-over-year variance due in part to an increase in digital banking expenses attributable to increased usage along with the Company's investments in data efficiency and marketing technology.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, and $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. The higher level of income tax expense incurred during the second quarter of 2024 was due to a higher level of pre-tax income, reflecting the previously mentioned gain related to our insurance subsidiary asset sale. The Company also recognized federal and state tax benefits related to tax credit investments placed in service and/or amortized which resulted in income tax expense reductions of $1.3 million in both the third and second quarters of 2024, and $731 thousand in the third quarter of 2023.

The effective tax rate was 7.4% for the third quarter of 2024, 15.0% for the second quarter of 2024, and 14.8% for the third quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate fluctuates on a quarterly basis primarily due to the level of pre-tax earnings and may differ from statutory rates because of interest income from tax-exempt securities, earnings on company owned life insurance and the impact of tax credit investments.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

Total assets were $6.16 billion at September 30, 2024, up $24.5 million from June 30, 2024, and up $16.2 million from September 30, 2023.

Investment securities were $1.01 billion at September 30, 2024, up $8.2 million from June 30, 2024, and down $324 thousand from September 30, 2023.

Total loans were $4.40 billion at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $58.5 million, or 1.3%, from June 30, 2024, and a decrease of $28.2 million, or 0.6%, from September 30, 2023.

  • Commercial business loans totaled $654.5 million at September 30, 2024, down $59.4 million, or 8.3%, from June 30, 2024, and down $57.0 million, or 8.0%, from September 30, 2023.
  • Commercial mortgage loans totaled $2.11 billion at September 30, 2024, up $19.8 million, or 0.9%, from June 30, 2024, and up $120.4 million, or 6.1%, from September 30, 2023.
  • Residential real estate loans totaled $648.2 million at September 30, 2024, up $566 thousand, or 0.1%, from June 30, 2024, and up $13.0 million, or 2.1%, from September 30, 2023.
  • Consumer indirect loans totaled $874.7 million at September 30, 2024, down $19.9 million, or 2.2%, from June 30, 2024, and down $107.5 million, or 10.9%, from September 30, 2023.

Total deposits were $5.31 billion at September 30, 2024, up $173.3 million, or 3.4%, from June 30, 2024, and down $9.4 million, or 0.2%, from September 30, 2023. The increase from June 30, 2024 was due to an increase in public deposits, which was partly driven by seasonality, as well as an increase in nonpublic deposits, partly offset by a decline in reciprocal deposits. Public deposit balances represented 22% of total deposits at September 30, 2024, 20% at June 30, 2024 and 20% at September 30, 2023.

Short-term borrowings were $55.0 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $202.0 million at June 30, 2024 and $70.0 million at September 30, 2023, as linked quarter deposit growth enabled the Company to pay down short-term borrowings, which have historically been utilized along with brokered deposits to manage the seasonality of public deposits.

Shareholders' equity was $500.3 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $467.7 million at June 30, 2024, and $408.7 million at September 30, 2023. The increase in shareholders' equity compared to the linked and year-ago period ends was primarily due to a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss, with net income through the first nine months of 2024 also contributing to the year-over-year increase. Shareholders' equity has been negatively impacted since 2022 by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with unrealized losses in the available for sale securities portfolio. Management believes the unrealized losses are temporary in nature, as they are associated with the current high interest rate environment. The securities portfolio continues to generate cash flow and, given the high credit quality of the agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio, management expects the bonds to ultimately mature at a terminal value equivalent to par.

Common book value per share was $31.22 at September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.11, or 7.2%, from $29.11 at June 30, 2024, and an increase of $5.81, or 22.9%, from $25.41 at September 30, 2023. Tangible common book value per share(1) was $27.28 at September 30, 2024, an increase of $2.11, or 8.4%, from $25.17 at June 30, 2024, and an increase of $6.59, or 31.9%, from $20.69 at September 30, 2023. The common equity to assets ratio was 7.85% at September 30, 2024, compared to 7.34% at June 30, 2024, and 6.37% at September 30, 2023. Tangible common equity to tangible assets(1), or the TCE ratio, was 6.93%, 6.41% and 5.25% at September 30, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively. The primary driver of variations in all four measures for the comparable linked and year-ago period ends was the previously described changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company declared a common stock dividend of $0.30 per common share, consistent with the linked and year-ago quarters.

The Company's regulatory capital ratios at September 30, 2024 continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized.

  • Leverage Ratio was 8.98% compared to 8.61% and 8.20% at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.
  • Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 10.28% compared to 10.03% and 9.26% at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.
  • Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 10.62% compared to 10.36% and 9.58% at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.
  • Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 12.95% compared to 12.65% and 11.91% at June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, respectively.

Credit Quality

Non-performing loans were $40.7 million, or 0.93% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, as compared to $25.2 million, or 0.57% of total loans, at June 30, 2024 and $9.5 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at September 30, 2023. Non-performing loans at September 30, 2024 largely related to two separate commercial loan relationships, one of which was placed on nonaccrual during the third quarter of 2024 and the other in the fourth quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs were $1.7 million, representing 0.15% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the current quarter, as compared to $1.1 million, or an annualized 0.10% of average loans, in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.6 million, or an annualized 0.14%, in the third quarter of 2023.

At September 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio was 1.01%, compared to 0.99% at June 30, 2024 and 1.12% at September 30, 2023.

Provision for credit losses was $3.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $2.0 million in the linked quarter and $1.0 million in the prior year third quarter. Provision for credit losses on loans was $2.4 million in the current quarter, compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for unfunded commitments, also included in provision for credit losses as required by the current expected credit loss standard ("CECL"), totaled a provision of $713 thousand in the third quarter of 2024, $43 thousand in the second quarter of 2024, and $426 thousand in the third quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses for the third quarter of 2024 was driven by a combination of factors, including a slight increase in the national unemployment forecast and higher qualitative factors overall, partially offset by lower loan balances.

The Company has remained strategically focused on the importance of credit discipline, allocating resources to credit and risk management functions as the loan portfolio has grown. The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to non-performing loans was 110% at September 30, 2024, 174% at June 30, 2024, and 521% at September 30, 2023.

Subsequent Events

The Company is required, under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), to evaluate subsequent events through the filing of its consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, on Form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of any subsequent events on critical accounting assumptions and estimates made as of September 30, 2024, and will adjust amounts preliminarily reported, if necessary.

The Company will host an earnings conference call and audio webcast on October 25, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The call will be hosted by Martin K.
