TYLER, Texas, July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Southside Bancshares, Inc. (“Southside” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SBSI) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Southside reported net income of $24.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2.0%, compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2022. Earnings per diluted common share increased $0.02, or 2.5%, to $0.81 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $0.79 for the same period in 2022. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was 13.32%, compared to 13.33% for the same period in 2022.  The annualized return on average assets was 1.29% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 1.42% for the same period in 2022.

“Southside reported excellent financial results for the second quarter, highlighted by earnings per share of $0.81, an 18.59% return on tangible common equity, a linked quarter increase in loans of 4.2%, and continued strong asset quality metrics,” stated Lee R. Gibson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southside. “Approximately 80% of our loan growth occurred in June. Linked quarter, deposits net of brokered and public fund deposits increased $73.1 million, or 1.6%. Our tax-equivalent net interest margin linked quarter decreased four basis points primarily due to increased deposit pricing pressure, partially offset by a 22 basis point increase in the yield on average loans and a 21 basis point increase in the yield on average securities.”

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Net income was $24.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2022, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 2.0%. Earnings per diluted common share were $0.81 and $0.79 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in net income was primarily a result of increases in noninterest expense and income tax expense, partially offset by increases in net interest income and noninterest income. Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were 1.29% and 13.32%, respectively, compared to 1.42% and 13.33%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.  Our efficiency ratio and tax-equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 53.54% and 51.06%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 50.61% and 47.74%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 53.57% and 50.99%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $53.9 million, compared to $51.1 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of 5.6%. The increase in net interest income was due to the increase in interest income, a result of the increase in the average yield and the average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on our interest bearing liabilities due to higher interest rates and an increase in the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities. Linked quarter, net interest income increased $0.6 million, or 1.1%, compared to $53.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net interest income was largely due to the increase in the average yield of interest earning assets, which more than offset the increase in the average balance and average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities.

Our net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) decreased to 2.99% and 3.17%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.07% and 3.30%, respectively, for the same period in 2022. Linked quarter, net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) decreased from 3.02% and 3.21%, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Noninterest income was $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $1.4 million, or 15.0%, compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was due to a net gain on sale of equity securities and an increase in other noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in net loss on sale of securities available for sale (“AFS”) and decreases in deposit services income and brokerage services income. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income decreased $1.6 million, or 13.0%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to an increase in net loss on sale of securities AFS and a decrease in bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income related to death benefits realized in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by increases in other noninterest income, net gain on sale of equity securities and brokerage services income.

Noninterest expense increased $2.9 million, or 9.0%, to $35.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $32.1 million for the same period in 2022. The primary increase was in salaries and employee benefits. Several additional expense categories increased during the three months ended June 30, 2023, including FDIC insurance, other noninterest expense and software and data processing expense. On a linked quarter basis, noninterest expense increased by $0.1 million, or 0.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Income tax expense increased $1.3 million, or 38.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. On a linked quarter basis, income tax expense increased $25,000, or 0.6%. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) increased to 15.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 11.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and increased from 14.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The higher ETR for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income as compared to the same period in 2022.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Net income was $50.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $50.4 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $0.5 million, or 1.0%. Earnings per diluted common share were $1.64 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.56 for the same period in 2022, an increase of 5.1%. The increase in net income was primarily a result of increases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and income tax expense. Returns on average assets and average shareholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were 1.34% and 13.62%, respectively, compared to 1.41% and 12.31%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.  Our efficiency ratio and tax-equivalent efficiency ratio(1) were 53.55% and 51.02%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 50.66% and 47.94%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Net interest income was $107.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $100.0 million for the same period in 2022, due to the increase in interest income, a result of the increase in the average yield and balance of our interest earning assets, partially offset by the increase in average rate paid and average balance of our interest bearing liabilities.

Our net interest margin and tax-equivalent net interest margin(1) were 3.01% and 3.19%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.05% and 3.26%, respectively, for the same period in 2022. The decrease in net interest margin was due to larger average rate and balance increases on our interest-bearing liabilities when compared to the interest earning assets during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Noninterest income was $22.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $2.7 million, or 13.5%, compared to $19.8 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was due to a net gain on sale of equity securities and an increase in BOLI income related to death benefits realized in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by an increase in net loss on sale of securities AFS and decreases in other noninterest income, deposit services income and brokerage services income.

Noninterest expense was $69.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $63.3 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $6.5 million, or 10.3%. The primary increase was in salaries and employee benefits. Several additional expense categories increased, including other noninterest expense, software and data processing expense and FDIC insurance.

Income tax expense increased $2.7 million, or 41.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022. Our ETR was approximately 15.2% and 11.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The higher ETR for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to a decrease in tax-exempt income as a percentage of pre-tax income.

Balance Sheet Data

At June 30, 2023, Southside had $7.81 billion in total assets, compared to $7.56 billion at December 31, 2022 and $7.61 billion at June 30, 2022.

Loans at June 30, 2023 were $4.33 billion, an increase of $366.0 million, or 9.2%, compared to $3.96 billion at June 30, 2022. Linked quarter, loans increased $176.4 million, or 4.2%, due to increases of $109.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $65.5 million in construction loans and $12.3 million in 1-4 family residential loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $4.5 million in commercial loans, $3.4 million in municipal loans and $3.0 million in loans to individuals.

Securities at June 30, 2023 were $2.65 billion, a decrease of $168.7 million, or 6.0%, compared to $2.82 billion at June 30, 2022.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our capital ratios and contingent liquidity sources remain solid. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2023, we purchased the remaining 618,831 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $30.27 authorized pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Plan with no authorized shares remaining to be purchased as of June 30, 2023. On July 20, 2023, our board of directors approved a Stock Repurchase Plan authorizing the repurchase of up to 1.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be carried out in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to any trading plan that might be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, as amended. The Company has no obligation to repurchase any shares under the Stock Repurchase Plan and may modify, suspend or discontinue the plan at any time. As of July 25, 2023, no shares have been purchased under this recent Stock Repurchase Plan.

We utilized the Federal Reserve’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) to reduce our overall funding costs and to enhance our interest rate risk position. As of June 30, 2023, our BTFP borrowings of $296.2 million were at a cost of 4.46%.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2023 were $3.1 million, or 0.04% of total assets, a decrease of $8.8 million, or 74.1%, compared to $11.8 million, or 0.16% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023, which allowed for the prospective exclusion of loan modifications that are performing but would have previously required disclosure as troubled debt restructures in nonperforming assets. Linked quarter, nonperforming assets decreased slightly from $3.2 million at March 31, 2023.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $36.3 million, or 0.84% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $35.4 million, or 0.89% of total loans, at June 30, 2022. The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of total loans was primarily due to improved asset quality and the increase in the total loan portfolio when compared to June 30, 2022. The allowance for loan losses was $36.3 million, or 0.87% of total loans, at March 31, 2023.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $0.3 million, compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses for loans of $0.1 million and a provision for credit losses of $0.1 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Net charge-offs were $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net recoveries of $37,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and net charge-offs of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net charge-offs were $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to net recoveries of $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

We recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We recorded a reversal of provision for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $0.5 million for both of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The balance of the allowance for off-balance-sheet credit exposures at June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $3.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and is included in other liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP measures are used by management to supplement the evaluation of our performance. These include the following fully taxable-equivalent measures (“FTE”): (i) Net interest income (FTE), (ii) net interest margin (FTE), (iii) net interest spread (FTE), and (iv) efficiency ratio (FTE), which include the effects of taxable-equivalent adjustments using a federal income tax rate of 21% to increase tax-exempt interest income to a tax-equivalent basis. Interest income earned on certain assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments.

Net interest income (FTE), net interest margin (FTE) and net interest spread (FTE). Net interest income (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts for the tax-favored status of net interest income from certain loans and investments and is not permitted under GAAP in the consolidated statements of income. We believe this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and that it enhances comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest income. Net interest margin (FTE) is the ratio of net interest income (FTE) to average earning assets. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest margin. Net interest spread (FTE) is the difference in the average yield on average earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis and the average rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our net interest spread.

Efficiency ratio (FTE).  The efficiency ratio (FTE) is a non-GAAP measure that provides a measure of productivity in the banking industry. This ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. The ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense, excluding amortization expense on intangibles and certain nonrecurring expense by the sum of net interest income (FTE) and noninterest income, excluding net gain (loss) on sale of securities available for sale and certain nonrecurring impairments. The most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is our efficiency ratio.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP-basis financial statements and other bank holding companies may define or calculate these non-GAAP measures or similar measures differently. Whenever we present a non-GAAP financial measure in an SEC filing, we are also required to present the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and reconcile the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure and such comparable GAAP measure.

Management believes adjusting net interest income, net interest margin and net interest spread to a fully taxable-equivalent basis is a standard practice in the banking industry as these measures provide useful information to make peer comparisons. Tax-equivalent adjustments are reflected in the respective earning asset categories as listed in the “Average Balances with Average Yields and Rates” tables.

A reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the financial statement tables.

The most significant factor that could cause future results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of higher inflation levels, higher interest rates and general economic and recessionary concerns, all of which could impact economic growth and could cause a reduction in financial transactions and business activities, including decreased deposits and reduced loan originations, our ability to manage liquidity in a rapidly changing and unpredictable market, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and additional interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve.
