EAU CLAIRE, Wisc., April 25, 2022 (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 March 31, 2022, compared to $6.1 million and $0.58 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and $5.5 million and $0.50 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company’s first quarter 2022 operating results reflected the following expected changes from the fourth quarter of 2021: (1) loan interest income decreased largely due to lower net accretion of SBA PPP fees of $1 million as most of these loans repaid in 2021 and (2) a decrease in net gains on sale of investment securities of $0.9 million. Other changes in the quarter included an increase in interest income due to higher volume of loans, lower liability costs, a decrease in incentive compensation and the impact of higher mortgage servicing rights impairment reversals. These positive items were offset by the impact of two fewer days of interest income, the impact of lower yields on fourth quarter loan originations and lower gain on sale of loans.
Book value per share was $15.72 at March 31, 2022, compared to $16.27 at December 31, 2021, and $14.75 at March 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP)1 was $12.40 at March 31, 2022, compared to $12.90 at December 31, 2021, and $11.39 at March 31, 2021. Book value per share increased $0.97 over the past 12 months, a 6.6% increase from March 31, 2021. Tangible book value per share increased $1.01 over the past 12 months, an 8.9% increase from March 31, 2021. The quarterly decrease in tangible book value per share was largely due to the shift to an unrealized loss in the available for sale securities portfolio of approximately $0.68 per share in the first quarter and the Company’s payment of the annual shareholder dividend in the first quarter of 2022 of $0.26 per share. These decreases were partially offset by net income.
“Loan balances decreased 1.5% in the quarter because of expected payoffs, contractual amortization and the seasonal decline in pipeline activity noted last quarter. Loan pipelines accelerated in the last half of the quarter and economic activity in our markets remained strong, which points to a resumption in loan growth. We are closely monitoring the effect of higher interest rates, inflation and supply chain delays on new construction projects, and have adjusted credit standards to prudently manage risk. Our expense base decreased from the linked quarter due to lower sales production incentives, which partially offset lower mortgage gain on sale income”, said Stephen Bianchi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.
March 31, 2022 Highlights: (as of or for the 3-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.)
- Quarterly earnings of $4.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, decreased from the quarter ended December 31, 2021, earnings of $6.1 million or $0.58 per diluted share, and decreased from the quarter ended March 31, 2021 earnings of $5.5 million or $0.50 per diluted share. Lower gain on sale of loans, service fees and loan related fees are largely the reason for the decrease from a year ago. Lower SBA PPP accretion compared to a year ago was offset by higher loan volumes and lower liability costs.
- In the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued $35 million in subordinated debt with a 10-year maturity. The debt is non-callable for 5 years and reprices quarterly after 5 years at the 3 month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 3.29%. The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds to call and repay the current outstanding $15 million, 6.75% subordinated debt in August 2022. In addition, the Company injected $15 million of capital into the bank subsidiary, Citizens Community Federal N.A., which bolstered the bank’s capital ratios and will support future loan growth. The Company also refinanced its $28.856 million senior debt, decreasing the principal to $23.25 million with quarterly interest-only payments due for the first three years and amortized with principal and interest payments over the next nine years.
- Interest expense on subordinated debt will increase approximately $300 thousand in the second quarter from first quarter levels as a full quarter of interest expense is realized, approximately $175 thousand in the third quarter from first quarter levels and approximately $50 thousand in the fourth quarter from first quarter levels as the existing subordinated debt is repaid. These impacts will be partially offset by lower interest expense of approximately $50 thousand in each of the second, third and fourth quarters due to the principal paydown of senior debt.
- Loan growth was negatively impacted by loan payoffs. Approximately $27 million of current quarter payoffs occurred in the originated loan portfolio resulting in a net decline of $1.1 million, excluding SBA PPP loans. Total loans, exclusive of SBA PPP loans, decreased $14.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The acquired loan portfolio shrank $13.6 million. In addition, our SBA PPP portfolio decreased $6.7 million during the quarter and totaled $2.1 million at March 31, 2022.
- The net interest margin without SBA PPP net loan fee accretion and loan purchase accretion has increased each quarter over the past five quarters. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the net interest margin without SBA PPP net loan fee accretion and loan purchase accretion was 3.11% compared to 2.75% for the year earlier quarter and 3.09% versus the linked quarter.
- Stockholders’ equity as a percent of total assets was 9.32% at March 31, 2022, compared to 9.82% at December 31, 2021. Tangible common equity (“TCE”) as a percent of tangible assets (non-GAAP)1 was 7.50% at March 31, 2022, compared to 7.95% at December 31, 2021. This decrease is due to the payment of the annual shareholder dividend, the impact of modest asset growth, and an increase in unrealized losses in the available for sale portfolio, partially offset by net income.
- No loan loss provision was realized during the quarters ended March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 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 MSA unemployment rates in the two markets in which the Company operates were under the national average of 3.6% as of February 2022 and remain low compared to historical levels. This has led to improving trends for businesses most impacted by the pandemic and allowed the Company to reduce its general economic Q-Factor allocation in its allowance calculation. At March 31, 2022, the general economic Q-Factor has returned to pre-pandemic levels, and we expect to provide for loan growth, adjusted for changes in specific reserves levels and net charge offs going forward.
- The Bank’s COVID-19 related modifications under Section 4013 of the CARES Act decreased to $0.4 million, or 0.03% of gross loans at March 31, 2022, versus $6.6 million, or 0.5% of gross loans at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, all COVID-19 related modifications were residential.
- The allowance for loan losses on originated loans, excluding SBA PPP loans, increased to 1.45% at March 31, 2022, from 1.43% at December 31, 2021. Since SBA PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, they are excluded from this reserve calculation. The allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to 1.30% at March 31, 2022, from 1.29% at December 31, 2021, and decreased from 1.41% at March 31, 2021. Additionally, loans resulting from Bank acquisitions were effectively marked to market value at the time of their acquisition and were also excluded from this reserve calculation.
- Nonperforming assets increased $0.4 million to $13.6 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $13.2 million one quarter earlier.
- Substandard loans increased modestly by $2 million to $24.8 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $22.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase was largely due to loans totaling $5.2 million, which are primarily agricultural, that have started the workout process and were partially offset by the payoff of a $3.3 million accruing substandard TDR loan. Special mention loans decreased $2.7 million, partially due to the movement of $1.6 million of agricultural loans to substandard.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality
Total assets increased $35.8 million during the quarter to $1.78 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $1.74 billion at December 31, 2021. This growth was largely due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents which grew $36.7 million and was supported by new deposits totaling $40.8 million.
Securities available for sale decreased $15.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, to $187.9 million from $203.1 million at December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a reduced market value of the portfolio of $9.6 million associated with higher interest rates. The remaining decrease was due to the net reduction of the portfolio due to principal repayments.
Securities held to maturity increased $33.8 million to $104.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from $71.1 million at December 31, 2021, primarily due to a net increase in agency mortgage-backed securities as purchases exceeded principal reductions.
Total loans receivable decreased by $20.8 million to $1.290 billion at March 31, 2022, from $1.311 billion as of December 31, 2021. The originated loan portfolio, before SBA PPP loans, decreased $1.1 million in the quarter as newly originated loans nearly offset prepayments and loan paydowns. Acquired loans decreased by $13.6 million and total SBA PPP loans decreased $6.7 million during the current quarter.
The allowance for loan losses was $16.8 million at March 31, 2022, representing 1.30% of total loans receivable compared to $16.9 million at December 31, 2021, or 1.29% of total loans receivable. Approximately 14.3% of the loan portfolio, excluding SBA loans at March 31, 2022, consists of loans purchased through whole bank acquisitions, resulting in these loans being recorded at fair market value at acquisition. The allowance for loan losses allocated to originated loans as a percent of originated loans excluding SBA PPP loans was 1.45% at March 31, 2022, compared to 1.43% at December 31, 2021. For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Bank had modest net charge offs of $95 thousand.

Nonperforming assets increased slightly to $13.6 million or 0.77% of total assets at March 31, 2022, compared to $13.2 million or 0.76% of total assets at December 31, 2021. This increase was due to the modest increase in accruing one to four family residential loans past due 90 days or more, which increased $0.2 million. Included in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022, are $5.3 million of nonperforming loans acquired during recent whole-bank acquisitions and $1.4 million of OREO, currently under a purchase agreement to be sold, related to a branch facility from a whole-bank acquisition. Originated nonperforming assets were $7.0 million, or 0.39% of total assets for the most recent quarter. Over the past year, total criticized loans decreased 33% from $39.7 million at March 31, 2021, to $26.7 million at March 31, 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, a $3.0 million accruing substandard TDR loan was paid in full.

Deposits increased $40.7 million to $1.428 billion at March 31, 2022, from $1.388 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was due in part to seasonal factors related to taxes and two large retail and one large commercial deposit. These large deposits totaling $19 million are approximately evenly split between retail and commercial deposits and are expected to decrease substantially over the next three quarters. Certificates of deposit balances decreased $30 million in the first quarter with some of those maturing deposits moving to money market accounts. The decrease in certificates of deposit account balances was due to the Company choosing not to match higher rate local retail certificate competition.
As of March 31, 2022, approximately 354 thousand shares remain available for repurchase under the share repurchase authorization and the bank repurchased 18 thousand shares in the quarter.
Review of Operations
Net interest income was $13.2 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to $14.4 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, and $12.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Compared to the fourth and first quarters of 2021, net interest income decreased due to lower SBA PPP accretion and lower accelerated accretion from payoff of certain PCI loans. In addition, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, there were two fewer days of interest income.
The net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased to 3.25% in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022, compared to 3.50% for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021, and decreased from 3.31% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in NIM from the fourth quarter is largely due to lower net accretion of SBA PPP loans and purchase accretion, partially offset by the lower cost of deposits.
In comparison to the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the current quarter NIM of 3.25% decreased due to: (1) 39 basis points from lower SBA PPP net loan fee accretion, and (2) 4 basis points of lower acceleration of loan purchase accretion. The decrease was partially offset by lower deposit costs of 26 basis points, and a 13 basis point improvement from investing lower yielding cash into securities.
The table below shows the impact of accretion related to purchased credit impaired loans and SBA PPP loans on interest income and NIM.

The Bank continued to manage deposit interest rates, primarily as interest rates on new and renewed certificates of deposit were lower than the previous quarter. In the first quarter, the Company’s overall CD portfolio cost of funds decreased 14 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2021 and 42 basis points from the first quarter of 2021. At March 31, 2022, the Bank had approximately $72.5 million of certificate of deposit accounts (“CD’s”) maturing in the second quarter of 2022 with a weighted average cost of approximately 1.50%.
There were no loan loss provisions for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and the quarters ended December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021. This is due to lower CARES Act Section 4013 deferrals, low net charge-off or net recovery activity, decreases in criticized assets and improving economic conditions in our markets to pre-pandemic levels. Continued improving economic conditions in our markets, as evidenced by unemployment rates below the national average in our two largest population centers, have resulted in improving overall economic trends for businesses.
Non-interest income decreased to $2.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $4.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and decreased from $4.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 was largely due to a decrease in gain on sale of investment securities of $0.9 million due to no sales in the first quarter and a $0.5 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, largely due to lower mortgage originations. Loan servicing income and loan fees and service charges were also lower. Relative to the comparable quarter one year earlier, non-interest income was lower as a result of the following factors: (1) lower gain on sale of loans; (2) lower loan servicing income; and (3) lower loan fees and service charges.
Total non-interest expense decreased $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 to $9.7 million, compared to $10.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and increased from $9.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The decrease from the fourth quarter was largely due to: (1) a decrease in compensation, as incentives decreased based on performance, including lower loan originations; (2) lower mortgage servicing rights expensed due to higher reversals of previously recorded MSR impairment in the first quarter of 2022 of $0.57 million compared to fourth quarter of $0.15 million; and (3) a decrease in advertising, marketing and public relations as the Bank provided contributions to support community projects in the fourth quarter of 2021. The fair value of MSR is now greater than book value and there is no MSR impairment remaining. These decreases were partially offset by higher data processing expenses due to one-time credits recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company purchased new market tax credits for $4.1 million. These tax credits, which are included in other assets, are being expensed in lock step with the related tax credit realization and will result in a lower tax rate.
Provisions for income taxes decreased to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 from $2.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, due to lower pre-tax income and a lower tax rate due to the impact of the tax credits noted above. The tax credits are expected to be realized over the next seven years. The effective tax rate was 24.2% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 26.7% the previous quarter and 26.1% for the comparable prior year quarter.
These financial results are preliminary until the Form 10-Q is filed in May 2022.

Such uncertainties and other risks that may affect the Company’s performance are discussed further in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2022 and the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as 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.
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.
