First Mid Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results


MATTOON, Ill., July 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMBH) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Highlights

  • Net income of $17.8 million, or $0.86 diluted EPS
  • Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $18.5 million, or $0.90 diluted EPS
  • Strong loan growth of $194.1 million, or 4.4% for the quarter
  • Successful completion of bank merger and system conversion with Jefferson Bank and Trust (“Jefferson”)
  • Board of Directors increases quarterly dividend by $0.01, or 4.5% to $0.23 per share

“Our second quarter was highlighted by our successful system conversion and integration of Jefferson Bank,” said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we had an unprecedented quarter of loan growth and delivered solid earnings through our multiple sources of income diversification. We continue to stress test our loans for the various macro-economic challenges and feel confident in the strength of our portfolio if there were to be an extended downturn.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $3.3 million, or 7.6% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Both interest income and interest expense increased in the quarter by $4.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively.   The increase in interest income was primarily driven by the full quarter benefit from the Jefferson acquisition, organic loan growth, and higher interest rates. Accretion income decreased by $0.2 million in the quarter to $0.9 million. Interest expense increased primarily from the full quarter of Jefferson, and rising rates in money market deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.      

In comparison to the second quarter of 2021, net interest income increased $4.1 million, or 9.5%. The increase was primarily the result of organic loan growth, the impact of the Jefferson acquisition, and rising interest rates.               

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.20% for the second quarter of 2022, which was 13 basis points higher compared to the prior quarter. Earning asset yields increased by 17 basis points and the average cost of funds increased 4 basis points.   

In comparison to the second quarter of last year, the net interest margin decreased 2 basis points, and average cost of funds were flat.   The primary reason for the decrease was due to lower accretion income and PPP fee income compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans ended the quarter at $4.65 billion, representing an increase of $194.1 million compared to the prior quarter. Growth was primarily within our C&I and farm real estate sectors, partially offset by a decline in multifamily. We had a strong pipeline going into the quarter and most of the loans closed within the period. We also experienced an increase in utilization of lines of credit, which was partially offset by higher payoffs in the multifamily sector.            

Asset Quality

The Company has always prided itself on a strong credit culture and the asset quality metrics for June 30, 2022 were strong. The allowance for credit losses (‘ACL’) increased by $0.6 million to $59.1 million with an ending ACL to total loans ratio of 1.27%. Provision expense was recorded in the amount of $0.9 million and net charge offs totaled $0.3 million. Also, at the end of the second quarter, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.43%, and the ACL to non-performing loans was 296%.   The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.36% at quarter end. Nonperforming loans declined by $2.5 million in the period to $19.9 million representing the lowest amount since the first quarter of 2018, which illustrates the strength of our asset quality position. Outstanding special mention and substandard loans improved in the quarter, declining to $35.8 million and $38.2 million, respectively.   

Deposits

Total deposits ended the quarter at $5.32 billion, which represented a decrease of $168.3 million from the prior quarter. The decline was primarily in money market balances in the depository agreement with Promontory and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. that was setup with the loan purchase in April of 2020. The Company’s average rate on cost of funds was 0.30% compared to 0.26% in the prior quarter, and flat versus the second quarter of 2021.                  

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $18.6 million compared to $21.1 million in the first quarter of 2022.   The decrease compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to the seasonality of the insurance business, which was down by $1.5 million. In addition, other income includes an unrealized loss on equity securities of $0.7 million. Increases in service charges and debit card income were offset by decreases in mortgage banking and wealth management. The decrease in wealth management was the result of a combination of seasonally lower farmland sales and lower equity market values.

In comparison to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest income increased $0.3 million, or 1.5%. The year-over-year increase was driven by strong growth in our wealth management and insurance businesses and the addition of Jefferson, partially offset by a $1.4 million decline in mortgage banking revenue.           

Noninterest Expenses     

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $41.5 million compared to $40.4 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the full quarter inclusion of expenses from the Jefferson acquisition, including $1.0 million in nonrecurring integration expenses tied to the successful bank merger and system conversion.   

In comparison to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest expenses decreased $4.5 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower nonrecurring expenses from the integration of Providence and the branch consolidation efforts that occurred in the second quarter of 2021.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the second quarter 2022 was 58.5% compared to 58.6% in the prior quarter and 59.9% for the same period last year.

Capital Levels and Dividend

The Company’s capital levels remained strong and comfortably above the “well capitalized” levels. During the second quarter, significant loan growth increased risk-weighted assets resulting in a modest decrease in certain of the ratios. Capital levels ended the period as follows:

Total capital to risk-weighted assets 15.05%
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets    12.16%
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets   11.79%
Leverage ratio   9.70%

The Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase of $0.01 to $0.23 to its quarterly dividend payable on September 1, 2022 for shareholders of record on August 18, 2022.

The Company’s tangible book value decreased in the quarter as a result of an increase in the unrealized loss position in the investment portfolio from higher interest rates. Had such impact not occurred in the unrealized loss position of the investment portfolio, tangible book value per share would have increased by 3.1% in the period.
