NORWICH, N.Y., Oct. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NBT Bancorp Inc. (“NBT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported net income and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $39.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, compared to $37.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021 and $37.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022. Net interest income recognized in the third quarter of 2022 from the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) was approximately $0.3 million (less than $0.01 per diluted share), compared to $2.9 million ($0.05 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2021 and $1.3 million ($0.02 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2022. Net interest income in the third quarter of 2022 improved in comparison to the third quarter of 2021 and the linked second quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher yields on earning assets due to increases in the Federal Reserve’s targeted Federal Funds rate combined with growth in earning assets. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $4.5 million ($0.08 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net benefit of $3.3 million ($0.06 per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2021 and a provision of $4.4 million ($0.08 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2022.

CEO Comments

“We are very pleased with our operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, which reflect strong execution by our team including solid organic loan growth and disciplined cost of funds management. With additional increases in the targeted Fed Funds rate, we continue to experience the benefits of an asset-sensitive balance sheet,” said NBT President and CEO John H. Watt, Jr. “Our asset quality continues to be excellent, with low levels of net charge-offs and nonperforming assets. Our fee-based businesses reported solid results despite the inherent headwinds associated with lower equity market valuations. Our improved net interest income generation overcame the $4 million or, seven cents per share, reduction in debit interchange revenue due to the Company being subject to the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Act beginning in the third quarter of 2022.”

  • Loan to deposit ratio was 79.7% at September 30, 2022, compared to 73.3% at December 31, 2021.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

  • Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $94.5 million, which was up $6.9 million, or 7.9%, from the second quarter of 2022 and up $16.8 million, or 21.6%, from the third quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher yields on earning assets.

  • The NIM on a FTE basis for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.51%, up 30 bps from the second quarter of 2022 and up 63 bps from the third quarter of 2021 due to higher earning asset yields partly offset by higher cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
  • Earning asset yields for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were up 33 bps from the prior quarter and up 63 bps from the same quarter in the prior year. Earning assets declined $255.7 million, or 2.3%, from the prior quarter and were comparable to the same quarter in the prior year. The following are highlights comparing the third quarter of 2022 to the prior quarter:

    • Loan yields increased 25 bps to 4.34% for the quarter. Excluding PPP loans, loan yields increased 28 bps from the prior quarter.
    • The average balances of investment securities increased $5.9 million and yields increased 13 bps.
    • The average balances of short-term interest-bearing accounts decreased $362.1 million resulting from the incremental deployment of excess liquidity into loans and investment securities and modestly lower deposit balances.
  • Total cost of deposits was 0.09% for the third quarter of 2022, up 2 bps from the prior quarter and down 1 bp from the same period in the prior year.
  • The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 0.29%, up 6 bps from the prior quarter and up 2 bps from the third quarter of 2021.

Credit Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

  • Net charge-offs to total average loans was 7 bps compared to 4 bps in the prior quarter and 11 bps in the third quarter of 2021. Recoveries in the third quarter of 2022 were $3.4 million compared to $3.3 million in the prior quarter and $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2021.
  • Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.19% compared to 0.22% at June 30, 2022 and 0.33% at September 30, 2021. Past due loans to total loans decreased to 0.30% as of September 30, 2022 from 0.40% in the prior quarter, primarily due to one commercial credit which returned to current status in early July.
  • Provision expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $4.5 million with net charge-offs of $1.3 million. Provision expense was $0.1 million higher than the second quarter of 2022 and $7.8 million higher than the third quarter of 2021. The increase in provision expense from the third quarter of 2021 was driven both by loan growth and an increase in the level of allowance for loan losses resulting from less favorable economic forecasts in the current year relative to improving economic forecasts in the prior year, partly offset by a lower level of net charge-offs.
  • The allowance for loan losses was $96.8 million, or 1.22% (1.23% excluding PPP loans and related allowance) of total loans, at September 30, 2022, compared to 1.20% (1.21% excluding PPP loans and related allowance) of total loans at June 30, 2022 and 1.23% (1.28% excluding PPP loans and related allowance) of total loans at September 30, 2021. The increase in the level of allowance for loan losses from the prior quarter was primarily due to the increase in loan balances and the modest deterioration in the forecast of economic conditions, which had an impact on the level of expected credit losses.
  • The reserve for unfunded loan commitments increased to $5.3 million at September 30, 2022 compared to the prior quarter at $5.1 million and compared to the prior year quarter at $5.3 million.

Noninterest Income

  • Total noninterest income, excluding securities gains (losses), was $37.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, down $4.9 million from the second quarter and down $3.1 million from the prior year’s third quarter.
  • Card services income was lower than the prior quarter and the third quarter of 2021 driven by the $3.8 million ($0.07 per diluted share) impact from the Company being subject to the statutory price cap provisions of the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act.
  • Retirement plan administration fees were lower than the prior quarter driven by market decline and lower activity-based fees and higher than the third quarter of 2021 driven by higher activity-based fees and organic growth.
  • Wealth management fees were higher than the prior quarter due to seasonal tax preparation services and lower than the third quarter of 2021 driven primarily by market performance.
  • Other income decreased from the prior quarter and the third quarter of 2021 driven by lower commercial loan swap fees.

Noninterest Expense

  • Total noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2022 was up 0.8% from the previous quarter and up 5.2% from the third quarter of 2021.
  • Salaries and benefits increased from the prior quarter due to one additional day of payroll in the third quarter and higher levels of incentive compensation accruals. The increase from the third quarter of 2021 was driven by increased salaries and wages, including merit pay increases and higher levels of incentive compensation accruals.
  • Technology and data services increased from the prior quarter and the third quarter of 2021 due to continued investment in digital platform solutions.
  • Other expenses decreased from the linked second quarter of 2022 due to seasonal timing of certain expenditures. The third quarter of 2021 also included $2.3 million of estimated litigation settlement costs.

Income Taxes

  • The effective tax rate was 22.8% for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 22.5% for the second quarter of 2022 and 22.8% for the third quarter of 2021.

Capital

  • Capital ratios remain strong with tangible common equity to tangible assets1 at 7.64%. Tangible book value per share2 was $20.25 at September 30, 2022, $20.99 at June 30, 2022 and $21.95 at September 30, 2021.
  • Stockholders’ equity decreased $93.9 million from December 31, 2021 driven by the $160.9 million decrease in AOCI due to the change in the market value of securities available for sale, dividends declared of $36.9 million and the repurchase of common stock of $14.7 million, partly offset by net income generation of $115.9 million.
  • September 30, 2022, CET1 capital ratio of 12.17%, leverage ratio of 10.21% and total risk-based capital ratio of 15.50%.

Dividend

  • The Board of Directors approved a fourth-quarter cash dividend of $0.30 per share at a meeting held yesterday, an increase of $0.02, or 7.1%, from the amount paid in the fourth quarter of 2021. 2022 is the tenth consecutive year of dividend increases by the Company.

These statements may be identified by the use of phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “will,” “can,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” or other similar terms. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) local, regional, national and international economic conditions and the impact they may have on the Company and its customers and the Company’s assessment of that impact; (2) changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs; (3) changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; (4) the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”); (5) inflation, interest rate, securities market and monetary fluctuations; (6) political instability; (7) acts of war, including international military conflicts, or terrorism; (8) the timely development and acceptance of new products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users; (9) changes in consumer spending, borrowings and savings habits; (10) changes in the financial performance and/or condition of the Company’s borrowers; (11) technological changes; (12) acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; (13) the ability to increase market share and control expenses; (14) changes in the competitive environment among financial holding companies; (15) the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance) with which the Company and its subsidiaries must comply, including those under the Dodd-Frank Act, Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, Consumer Protection Act of 2018, Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), and other legislative and regulatory responses to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; (16) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and other accounting standard setters; (17) changes in the Company’s organization, compensation and benefit plans; (18) the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments, including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews; (19) greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the integration of new products and lines of business; (20) the adverse impact on the U.S. economy, including the markets in which we operate, of the COVID-19 global pandemic; and (21) the Company’s success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items.
