COLUMBIA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Farmers and Merchants Corporation (OTC Pink: FFMH), the holding company for First Farmers and Merchants Bank, today announced growth in net income, net interest income, net interest margin and book value per share for the third quarter of 2024.
"We had a strong third quarter with our best earnings performance this year," stated Brian K. Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of First Farmers. "Net income rose 18.4% to $4.0 million and earnings per share increased 22.8% to $0.97. Our book value also jumped 50.6% to $35.56 per share. These solid results benefited from the continued net interest margin expansion we have been experiencing over the past three quarters.
"The Board of Directors recently increased our quarterly cash dividend by 12.5% to $0.27 per share highlighting our favorable earnings results, our strong capital position and positive outlook for First Farmers' future performance. We have positioned our balance sheet to enhance earnings as interest rates decline, and we are optimistic about continued earnings growth in the coming quarters.
"Additionally, robust risk management practices and well-managed concentration levels continue to deliver strong asset quality, as this quarter marked the lowest level of nonperforming assets in over a year."
Key highlights of First Farmers' results for the third quarter of 2024 include:
- Net income rose 18.4% to $4.0 million from $3.3 million for the third quarter of 2023. Net income per common share increased 22.8% to $0.97 from $0.79 in the third quarter of 2023. Net income increased 4.2% from $3.8 million, or $0.92, per common share, reported in the second quarter of 2024;
- Adjusted net income, which excludes special items, increased 17.9% to $3.9 million, or $0.97 per common share, compared with $3.3 million, or $0.79 per common share, for the third quarter of 2023. Third quarter adjusted net income improved 5.8% from $3.7 million, or $0.90 per common share, reported in the second quarter of 2024 (see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section);
- Net interest income increased 13.5% to $11.4 million from $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2023 and was up 3.7% from $11.0 million from the second quarter of 2024;
- Net interest margin improved for the third consecutive quarter to 2.55%;
- Efficiency improved to 66.36% compared to 69.17% from the third quarter of 2023 and 67.36% from the second quarter of 2024; and
- Book value per share increased 50.6% to $35.56 from $23.61 from the third quarter of 2023 and increased 15.9% from $30.68 for the second quarter of 2024.
Robert E. Krimmel, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our third quarter marked the third consecutive quarterly improvement in our net interest margin. We benefited from an increase in loan yields outpacing the increase in the total cost of interest-bearing liabilities. We are pleased with the stability of our core deposit base and took advantage of the lower interest rate environment to pay down Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program borrowings with lower cost brokered deposits. Our success in repositioning First Farmers' balance sheet over the past year was a strong contributor to our third quarter's earnings growth and will benefit the trajectory of earnings in the fourth quarter and beyond as rates decline.
"We remain focused on improving our operating efficiency while enhancing customer service and support. We posted our third consecutive improvement in our operating efficiency this year and believe we have further opportunities to enhance operations. We continue to upgrade our digital banking and lending technology platforms. We have also added new team members in mortgage operations and treasury management to expand our growth opportunities.
"First Farmers' capital position remains strong and continues to benefit from lower market interest rates that are reducing the impact from the fair value adjustment of our investment portfolio. Our book value per share rose for the fourth consecutive quarter and was up 50.6% from the third quarter of last year, the highest level in book value per share since the fourth quarter of 2021."
Third Quarter 2024 Results of Operations
Net income increased to $4.0 million, up $613,000, or 18.4% from the third quarter of 2023. Net income per share increased 21.8% to $0.97 for the third quarter of 2024 compared with $0.79 for the third quarter of 2023. The increase in earnings for the third quarter of 2024 resulted from an increase in net interest income of $1.4 million driven by growth in interest and fees on loans of $2.3 million, up 15.2%, that was offset in part by an increase in total interest expense of $958,000. Net interest income after provision increased for the fourth consecutive quarter to $11.4 million, up 13.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Non-interest income declined, offsetting the increase in net interest income by $69,000 due to a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts of $102,000 and lower FHLB cash dividends of $100,000 for the third quarter of 2024, offset in part by an increase in wealth management and trust services fee income of $77,000. Non-interest expense grew $487,000 for the third quarter of 2024 driven by increases in employee health insurance expense of $179,000, recruitment and placement services expense of $111,000, software support and other computer expense of $87,000, and FDIC insurance premium expense of $67,000 compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was up from the sequential second quarter by $161,000, or 4.2%. The increase in earnings was due to growth in net interest income of $404,000 driven by interest and fees on loans offset in part by higher interest on deposits. During the quarter, the net interest margin increased for the third consecutive quarter by seven basis points supported by growth in loan yields of six basis points and investment yields of four basis points offset in part by higher total cost of interest-bearing liabilities of three basis points. Provision for credit losses declined $60,000 for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the sequential second quarter driven by lower loan balances. Non-interest income decreased $95,000 driven by lower service fees on deposit accounts of $56,000 and a decline in gain on disposal of premises and equipment of $47,000 compared to the sequential second quarter. Non-interest expense increased $194,000 because of recruitment and placement services expense of $111,000, higher software support and other computer expense of $62,000, and growth in FDIC insurance premium expense of $33,000.
For the third quarter of 2024, total cash and cash equivalents increased $42 million from the sequential second quarter and increased $41 million from the third quarter of 2023. Available-for-sale securities decreased by $11 million from the sequential second quarter to $634 million, or 34.2% of total assets, and decreased $63 million from $697 million, or 37.3% of total assets, from the third quarter of 2023. Outstanding loan balances decreased $23 million, or 2.2%, from the sequential second quarter to $1.031 billion but increased $27 million, or 2.7%, from the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, loan balances declined because the bank remains focused on a disciplined lending strategy to manage credit risks by limiting total loans in certain market segments while maintaining overall loan quality criteria. Total deposits increased $80 million, or 5.2%, from the sequential second quarter to $1.604 billion, but decreased $71 million, or 4.2%, from the third quarter of 2023. The increase in total deposits compared to the sequential second quarter was related to growth in brokered deposits of $82 million and core deposits of $38 million offset in part by a reduction in municipal deposits of $25 million and other non-core deposits of $15 million. The growth in brokered deposits and core deposits during the third quarter of 2024 was used to reduce Federal Reserve Bank Term Funding Program borrowings by $88 million compared to the sequential second quarter. The reduction in total deposits compared to the third quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by decreases in municipal deposits of $61 million, brokered deposits of $41 million, and other non-core deposits of $7 million offset in part by an increase in core deposits of $38 million.
For the third quarter of 2024, total shareholders' equity increased by $19.3 million from the sequential second quarter to $145.0 million and increased $46.3 million from the third quarter of 2023. The increase in total shareholders' equity from the sequential second quarter was primarily the result of a decrease in the unrealized loss adjustment to the available-for-sale securities portfolio that totaled $17.1 million, net of tax, and growth in retained earnings of $2.2 million, net of stock repurchases and cash dividends. The increase in total shareholders' equity from the third quarter of 2023 primarily resulted from a decrease in the unrealized loss adjustment to the available-for-sale securities portfolio that totaled $38.8 million, net of tax, and growth in retained earnings of $7.7 million, net of stock repurchases and cash dividends. The reduction in the fair value loss adjustment of the available-for-sale securities portfolio's impact to shareholders' equity was driven by a smaller securities portfolio and a decrease in market interest rates. The book value per share improved 15.9% from the sequential second quarter to $35.56 and increased 50.6% compared to the third quarter of 2023.
Nine Months Results
Net income available to common shareholders was $11.2 million for the first nine months of 2024, down 9.9% compared with $12.4 million in the first nine months of 2023. Net income per share declined 7.3% to $2.70 for the first nine months of 2024 compared with $2.92 for the same period in 2023. The decline in earnings was driven by a decrease in net interest income of $1.4 million, an increase in provision for credit losses of $385,000, and higher non-interest expense of $699,000, offset in part by an increase in non-interest income of $920,000 compared to the same period in 2023. Adjusted net income was $11.0 million for the first nine months of 2024, down 14.6% compared with $12.9 million in the first nine months of 2023. Adjusted net income per share declined 12.1% to $2.66 for the first nine months of 2024 compared with $3.03 for the same period in 2023.
The decline in adjusted net income for the first nine months of 2024 was due to a decrease in net interest income of $1.4 million driven by growth in total interest expense of $8 million, an increase of 77.7%, that was offset in part by an increase in interest and fees on loans of $6.7 million compared to the same period in 2023. Provision for credit losses increased by $385,000 driven by a provision credit of $260,000 recorded in 2023 and provision expense of $125,000 recorded in 2024 for loan growth. The increase in non-interest income of $920,000 was attributable to gain on equity securities of $442,000, lower losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities of $291,000, revenue growth from wealth management and trust services fees of $237,000, and gain on disposal of premises and equipment of $142,000, offset in part by a decrease in service fees on deposit accounts of $219,000 compared to the first nine months of 2023. The increase in non-interest expense of $699,000 was due to higher health insurance expense of $337,000, software support and other computer expense of $223,000, data processing expense of $192,000, and recruitment and placement services expense of $111,000, offset in part by a decline in net occupancy expense of $184,000 compared to the first nine months of 2023.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets declined to $852,000, or 0.05% of total assets, down from $863,000, or 0.05% of total assets, from the sequential second quarter and down from $3.1 million, or 0.17% of total assets, from the third quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs to average loans were 0.01% for the third quarter of 2024 compared with net charge-offs of 0.00% for the sequential quarter and net charge-offs of 0.00% for the third quarter of 2023. Provision expense of less than $1,000 was recorded to the allowance for credit losses during the third quarter of 2024 compared to provision for credit losses expense of $60,000 for the sequential second quarter and no provision for credit losses expense for the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses represented 0.78% of total loans outstanding for the third quarter of 2024 compared with 0.77% for the sequential second quarter and 0.78% for the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments declined to $605,000, or 0.20% of total unfunded commitments, for the third quarter of 2024 compared with 0.21% for the sequential second quarter and 0.29% for the third quarter of 2023. The allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity ("HTM") securities represented 0.06% of total HTM securities for the third quarter of 2024 compared with 0.06% for the sequential second quarter and 0.06% for the third quarter of 2023.
