Civista Bancshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

SANDUSKY, Ohio, July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Civista Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:CIVB) ("Civista") announced its unaudited financial results for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2023.

Civista Bancshares, Inc.

Second quarter and year-to-date 2023 highlights:

• Net income of $10.0 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $7.7 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022.

• Net income of $22.9 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $16.2 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

• Low cost of deposits of 107 basis points and total funding costs of 151 basis points for the quarter.

• Based on the June 30, 2023 market close share price of $17.40, the $0.15 second quarter dividend is equivalent to an annualized yield of 3.45% and a dividend payout ratio of 23.44%.

"Our second quarter earnings were impacted by increased rate pressure on deposits and our decision to hold more of our newly originated leases on the balance sheet.  Despite this, we continue to post strong profits and our earnings per share has increased 32 percent when compared to the same period a year ago", said Dennis G. Shaffer, CEO and President of Civista.

Results of Operations:

For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

Net interest income increased $7.1 million, or 29.1%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022.  Interest income increased $17.3 million while interest expense increased $10.2 million.  Both increases were driven by both increases in rates and increases in volumes. 

Net interest margin increased 43 basis points to 3.86% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 3.43% for the same period a year ago.

The increase in interest income was primarily due to a 164 basis point increase in asset yield, which led to $10.4 million of the increase in interest income.  Additionally, a $392.4 million increase in average earning assets led to $6.9 million of the increase in interest income.  The increase in volume can be attributed to both organic growth and to the acquisitions during 2022 of Comunibanc Corp ("Comunibanc") and Vision Financial group ("VFG").

Interest expense increased $10.2 million, or 567.9%, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to the same period last year.  The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 171 basis points, while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $458.5 million.  The increase in interest-bearing liabilities was primarily in brokered time deposits and short-term borrowings to fund growth.  This shift in the funding mix, as well as rising rates, is driving the increase in the funding rate.  Interest-bearing deposit costs have increased 140 basis points compared to a year ago.

The adoption of CECL also resulted in an additional $3.4 million reserve for unfunded commitments, which is reflected as a liability in the consolidated financial statements.  Provision for unfunded commitments for the second quarter of 2023 was $264 thousand and $465 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023.  There was no provision for unfunded commitments during the first six months of 2022.

Loan and lease balances increased $89.6 million, or 3.5% since December 31, 2022.  Commercial revolving lines of credit balances continue to be less than forty percent advanced.  Commercial growth is attributable to increased leasing production.  Commercial Real Estate continued to grow due to consistent demand in the Non-owner Occupied category, especially in the multi-family area in the major Ohio metropolitan areas.  Real Estate Construction diminished slightly with the caveat that undrawn construction availability continues to be near all-time highs.  Residential Real Estate has grown with new production in our Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") product, more home construction loans, and more ARM products in this higher rate environment.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $322.8 million, or 12.3%, from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

The increase in noninterest-bearing demand of $106.1 million was primarily due to a $179.3 million increase in balances related to the tax refund processing program, which is a seasonal increase.  This seasonal increase was partially offset by a $59.9 million decrease in noninterest-bearing business accounts and $26.4 million noninterest-bearing personal accounts.  The $24.1 million decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits was spread across personal, business, and public fund accounts.  The decrease in savings and money market was primarily due to a $39.7 million decrease in statement savings, a $26.4 million decrease in personal money markets, partially offset by a $40.0 million increase in brokered money market accounts.  The increase in time certificates was primarily due to a $202.5 million increase in brokered time deposits.  Jumbo time certificates also increased $44.2 million.

FHLB overnight advances totaled $142.0 million on June 30, 2023, down from $393.7 million on December 31, 2022.  FHLB term advances totaled $2.9 million on June 30, 2023, down from $3.6 million on December 31, 2022.
