Heritage Commerce Corp Earns $18.1 Million for the Third Quarter of 2022, and $45.8 Million for the First Nine Months of 2022


SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Heritage Commerce Corp (Nasdaq: HTBK), the holding company (the “Company”) for Heritage Bank of Commerce (the “Bank”), today announced third quarter 2022 net income of $18.1 million, or $0.30 per average diluted common share, compared to $13.7 million, or $0.23 per average diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2021, and $14.8 million, or $0.24 per average diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $45.8 million, or $0.75 per average diluted common share, compared to $33.7 million, or $0.56 per average diluted common share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. All results are unaudited.

“Our outstanding operating results reflect the continued successful implementation of our growth plan.   We delivered record third quarter and year-to-date 2022 earnings, fueled by higher net interest income and solid loan growth. Our net interest margin improved to 3.73% for the third quarter of 2022, compared to 3.38% from the preceding quarter, driven primarily by a shift in the mix of earning assets as the Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities. Loans, excluding Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and residential mortgages, increased 10% from a year earlier, and 3% from the preceding quarter. Total deposits increased $69.6 million from the linked quarter with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing 4% from a year ago,” said Clay Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Net income increased 22% from the preceding quarter and 32% from the third quarter a year ago. The return on average tangible equity was 16.60%, the return on average tangible assets was 1.36% and our efficiency ratio improved to 47.02%, for the third quarter of 2022.”

“Our credit quality remains healthy as a result of our credit management, while we continue to be vigilant to the potential impact an uncertain economic future could have on our portfolio. Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) declined $3.7 million at September 30, 2022 from September 30, 2021, and declined $1.7 million from June 30, 2022, with continued net recoveries throughout the first nine months of 2022,” said Mr. Jones. “Reflecting our strong loan growth, we recorded a $1.0 million provision for credit losses on loans during the third quarter of 2022.”

“Our noninterest income was also higher in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the preceding quarter, primarily due to the substantial increase in gain on sale of SBA loans and higher income on off-balance sheet deposits,” said Mr. Jones. Third quarter 2022 noninterest expense was elevated compared to the third quarter a year ago and to the preceding quarter, due to non-cash expenses related to the retirement of the previous President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company from the vesting of shares of restricted common stock. This one-time contractual event added $784,000 to salaries and employee benefits for the third quarter of 2022, which increased 13% from the third quarter of 2021, and 5% from the second quarter of 2022.

“These solid results are a direct result of our dedicated employees and their commitment and effort in supporting our clients, communities and shareholders,” said Mr. Jones. “Our strong liquidity continues to provide us with the opportunity for investment strategies that positively impact our net interest income.”

Operating Results, Balance Sheet Review, Capital Management, and Credit Quality

(as of, or for the periods ended September 30, 2022, compared to September 30, 2021, and June 30, 2022, except as noted):

Operating Results:

  • Diluted earnings per share were $0.30 for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.23 for the third quarter of 2021, and $0.24 for the second quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $0.75 for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $0.56 for the first nine months of 2021.

  • The following table indicates the ratios for the return on average tangible assets and the return on average tangible equity for the periods indicated:

  • Net interest income, before provision for credit losses on loans, increased 26% to $48.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $38.2 million for the third quarter of 2021. The fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin increased 55 basis points to 3.73% for the third quarter of 2022, from 3.18% for the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to a shift in the mix of earning assets into higher yielding loans and investment securities, and higher average yield on overnight funds, partially offset by lower interest and fees on PPP loans, a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, and a higher cost of funds.

    • Net interest income increased 15% to $48.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $41.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. The FTE net interest margin increased 35 basis points to 3.73% for the third quarter of 2022 from 3.38% for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to a shift in the mix of earning assets as the Company invested its excess liquidity into higher yielding loans and investment securities, and higher average yields on overnight funds, partially offset by a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, lower prepayment fees, lower interest and fees on PPP loans, and a higher cost of funds.

    • Net interest income increased 19% to $128.1 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $108.0 million for the first nine months of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, the FTE net interest margin increased 26 basis points to 3.39%, compared to 3.13% for the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to higher average balances of loans and investment securities, higher average yields on investment securities and overnight funds, partially offset by lower interest and fees on PPP loans, a decrease in the accretion of the loan purchase discount into interest income from acquired loans, and lower prepayment fees.

  • The following table, as of September 30, 2022, sets forth the estimated changes in the Company’s annual net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous parallel shift in interest rates from the base rate:

  • During the third quarter of 2022, there was a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.0 million, compared to a $514,000 negative provision for credit losses on loans for the third quarter of 2021, and a negative provision for credit losses on loans of $181,000 for the second quarter of 2022. There was a provision for credit losses on loans of $258,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a $2.5 million negative provision for credit losses on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

  • Total noninterest income increased 15% to $2.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher income on off-balance sheet deposits, partially offset by a lower gain on sale of SBA loans during the third quarter of 2022, and a gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance during the third quarter of 2021. Total noninterest income increased 33% from $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and a higher gain on sale of SBA loans during the third quarter of 2022.
 For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total noninterest income increased 7% to $7.3 million, compared to $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to higher income on off-balance sheet deposits, and a $669,000 gain on warrants, partially offset by a lower gain on sale of SBA loans and a lower gain on proceeds from company-owned life insurance during the first nine months of 2022.
  • Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 increased to $23.9 million, compared to $21.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, and $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and insurance expense during the third quarter of 2022. Salaries and employee benefits included $784,000 of restricted stock expense for vesting of restricted common stock held by the previous President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company who retired during the third quarter of 2022.

    • Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased to $70.3 million, compared to $70.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a reserve for a legal settlement during the first nine months of 2021, partially offset by higher salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and insurance expense during the first nine months of 2022.

    • Full time equivalent employees were 327 at September 30, 2022, and 325 at September 30, 2021, and 332 at June 30, 2022.

The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 51.92%, compared to 61.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The improvement in the efficiency ratio for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was primarily due to an increase in net interest income from the rising interest rate environment. The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was negatively impacted by the $4.0 million reserve for a legal settlement. Excluding the $4.0 million reserve for a legal settlement, the efficiency ratio was 58.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

  • Income tax expense was $7.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2021, and $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 30.3%, compared to 28.8% for the third quarter of 2021, and 29.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to an adjustment from significantly higher earnings for the third quarter of 2022, compared to the first and second quarters of 2022. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $19.1 million, compared to $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 29.5%, compared to 27.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
