SUFFOLK, Va., April 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TowneBank (the "Company" or "Towne") (NASDAQ: TOWN) today reported earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $45.59 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $69.00 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

"TowneBank had a strong start to the year despite the expected revenue decline in our real estate segment as well as a reduction in revenue associated with the forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans. With core annualized loan growth of over 20%, spread across all of our markets, combined with the continued deployment of excess liquidity, we expect the increase in short-term rates will result in improvements in net interest income and margin through the rest of 2022. Credit metrics remained excellent and we strengthened our balance sheet ahead of rising rates by completing a sub debt offering at attractive rates in early February," said G. Robert Aston, Jr., Executive Chairman.

Highlights for First Quarter 2022 Compared to First Quarter 2021:

  • Total revenues were $165.41 million, a decrease of $17.10 million, or 9.37%, and pre-provision, pre-tax, net revenues (non-GAAP), were $55.37 million, a decrease of $26.21 million, or 32.13%. These declines were primarily driven by residential mortgage banking income, which declined $22.77 million in the quarter and a reduction in income on PPP loans of $9.53 million.
  • Loans held for investment were $9.91 billion, an increase of $0.17 billion, or 1.79%, from March 31, 2021, and $0.40 billion, or 4.24%, from December 31, 2021. Excluding the decline in PPP loans, loans held for investment increased $989.07 million, or 11.19%, compared to March 31, 2021, and $476.79 million, or 20.68% on an annualized basis, from the linked quarter. Total loans at March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2021 included $0.08 billion, $0.90 billion, and $0.16 billion, respectively, of PPP loans.
  • Total deposits were $13.77 billion, an increase of $1.63 billion, or 13.44% compared to prior year and $0.20 billion, or 5.92% on an annualized basis, from December 31, 2021.
  • Noninterest bearing deposits increased by 14.29%, to $5.53 billion, representing 40.17% of total deposits. Compared to the linked quarter, noninterest bearing deposits decreased $14.33 million, primarily in escrow deposits.
  • Annualized return on common shareholders' equity was 9.81% and annualized return on average tangible common shareholders' equity was 14.08% (non-GAAP).
  • Net interest margin for the quarter was 2.67% and taxable equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 2.69%.
  • Effective tax rate of 19.77% in the quarter compared to 19.37% in first quarter 2021, and 18.97% in the linked quarter.

"Our results benefited from healthy loan pipelines as we entered 2022. We opened a new full-service banking office in Charlotte, and we continue to invest in growing our fee-based businesses. We also believe our strong commitment to generating high levels of noninterest bearing deposits should provide a competitive advantage in a rising rate environment," stated J. Morgan Davis, Chief Executive Officer.

Quarterly Net Interest Income Compared to First Quarter 2021:

  • Net interest income was $99.20 million compared to $99.99 million as of March 31, 2021.
  • Tax-equivalent net interest margin (non-GAAP) was 2.69%, including purchase accounting accretion of 6 basis points and PPP interest and fees of 3 basis points, compared to 3.05%, including purchase accounting accretion of 4 basis points and 11 basis points of PPP interest and fees, for first quarter 2021.
  • On an average basis, loans held for investment, with a yield of 4.01%, represented 64.26% of earning assets at March 31, 2022 compared to a yield of 4.28% and 72.33% of earning assets in the first quarter of 2021. Excluding PPP loans, loan yields were 3.97% in first quarter 2022 compared to 4.17% in first quarter 2021.
  • Interest and fee income on PPP loans was $2.10 million in first quarter 2022, compared to $3.85 million in the linked quarter, and $11.63 million in first quarter 2021.
  • Total cost of deposits decreased to 0.15% from 0.30% at March 31, 2021.
  • In February 2022, the Company issued $250.00 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes. The subordinated notes accrue interest at a fixed rate of 3.13%, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $1.11 million in the quarter.
  • Average interest-earning assets totaled $15.05 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to $13.36 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of 12.65%.
  • Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $8.56 billion, an increase of $0.55 billion from prior year, driven primarily by growth in interest bearing deposits.
  • We expect to continue positioning our earning asset portfolio to positively benefit interest margin in a rising rate environment.

Quarterly Provision for Credit Losses:

  • The quarterly provision for credit losses for on-balance-sheet loans was a benefit of $2.10 million compared to benefits of $3.41 million one year ago and $1.18 million in the linked quarter.
  • The first quarter 2022 included a release in the allowance for credit losses of $2.23 million that was driven by improved economic forecasts and the related release of certain reserves associated with industries heavily impacted by COVID-19, partially offset by an increase in reserves driven by core loan growth.
  • Net loan charge-offs were $0.13 million compared to $0.67 million one year prior and net recoveries of $0.06 million in the linked quarter. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.01% in first quarter 2022, 0.03% in first quarter 2021, and 0.00% in the linked quarter.
  • The allowance for credit losses on loans represented 1.05% of total loans at March 31, 2022, 1.12% at December 31, 2021, and 1.19% at March 31, 2021. Excluding PPP loans, which are fully government guaranteed, the allowance for credit losses (non-GAAP) was 1.06%, compared to 1.13% at December 31, 2021 and 1.31% at March 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses on loans was 21.52 times nonperforming loans compared to 17.76 times at December 31, 2021 and 9.09 times at March 31, 2021.

Quarterly Noninterest Income Compared to First Quarter 2021:

  • Total noninterest income was $66.21 million compared to $82.52 million in 2021, a decrease of $16.31 million, or 19.77%. Residential mortgage banking income decreased $22.77 million, while insurance commissions and property management income increased $2.75 million and $1.66 million, respectively.
  • Residential mortgage banking recorded income of $14.64 million compared to $37.41 million in first quarter 2021. Margins declined 100 basis points between quarters and loan volume decreased to $0.82 billion in first quarter 2022 compared to $1.60 billion in 2021. Residential purchase activity comprised 77.93% of production volume in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 53.45% in the prior year quarter as the increase in rates continued to negatively impact refinance activity. Included in first quarter 2022 was a loss on interest rate-locks of $0.45 million, compared to a gain of $0.74 million in first quarter 2021.
  • Margins on residential mortgages decreased 100 basis points from first quarter 2021 to 3.01% in the current quarter.
  • Total Insurance segment revenue was $23.11 million in first quarter 2022, $3.03 million or 15.11%, higher than first quarter 2021. This increase was attributable to organic growth in property and casualty commissions plus bonus and contingency income.
  • Property management fee revenue increased 10.75%, or $1.66 million, to $17.15 million compared to first quarter 2021. Reservation income is up in the quarter over quarter comparison due primarily to the July 2021 acquisition of a vacation rental company in Tennessee, which contributed $4.14 million in property management fees during the quarter. Management anticipates the loosening of COVID-related travel restrictions may result in a decline in reservation activity for the remainder of 2022, from the record levels of the past two years.
  • In April 22, the Company implemented changes for personal accounts to eliminate fees for non-sufficient funds and other overdraft program fees. The change is not expected to have a material effect on future revenue.

Quarterly Noninterest Expense Compared to First Quarter 2021:

  • Total noninterest expense was $109.38 million compared to $97.33 million in 2021, an increase of $12.05 million, or 12.38%. The higher level of expenses was attributable to increases in salaries and benefits of $5.53 million, advertising and marketing expense of $1.16 million, an earnout adjustment of $1.84 million for a prior year property management company acquisition, and $0.53 million in fixed asset disposals associated with the move of our financial services group headquarters.
  • Advertising and marketing expense increases, related primarily to our Realty segment, were driven by production based advertising programs in our property management companies and consumer mortgage advertising in our residential mortgage operations.
  • Increased costs associated with our core banking platform resulted in higher software expenses, and higher credit card fees on vacation property reservation activities drove the increase in data processing expense.

Consolidated Balance Sheet Highlights:

  • Total assets were $16.67 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $1.59 billion, or 10.53%, from $15.08 billion at March 31, 2021. Total assets increased $0.31 billion, or 1.87%, from the linked quarter. The year-over-year increase was driven by increases in securities and loans held for investment.
  • Loans held for investment increased $0.17 billion, or 1.79%, compared to prior year and $0.40 billion, or 4.24%, compared the linked quarter. Excluding PPP loans of $0.08 billion in first quarter 2022, $0.90 billion in first quarter 2021, and $0.16 billion in the linked quarter, loans held for investment increased $989.07 million, or 11.19%, compared to prior year, and $476.79 million, or 5.10%, compared to December 31, 2021, or 20.68% on an annualized basis.
