Financial Institutions, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results
WARSAW, N.Y., Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Financial Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISI) (the "Company," "we" or "us"), parent company of Five Star Bank (the "Bank"), SDN Insurance Agency, LLC ("SDN") and Courier Capital, LLC ("Courier Capital"), today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.
Net income was $9.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $14.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. After preferred dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $9.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $13.7 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023, and $11.7 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $966 thousand in the linked quarter and $6.1 million in the prior year quarter.
The Company reported full year 2023 net income of $50.3 million, compared to $56.6 million in 2022. After preferred dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $48.8 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, for 2023 compared to $55.1 million, or $3.56 per diluted share, in 2022. The Company recorded provision for credit losses of $13.7 million in 2023 and $13.3 million in 2022. Net income for 2023 reflects the impact of the higher interest rate environment on funding costs that generated revenue pressure and adversely impacted current year earnings in comparison to the prior year.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Key Results:
Total deposits were $5.21 billion at December 31, 2023, down $103.1 million, or 1.9%, from September 30, 2023, and up $283.5 million, or 5.8%, from the prior year end. The linked quarter decline is reflective of seasonal public deposit outflows, while the improvement over the prior year was driven by nonpublic deposit growth.
Total loans were $4.46 billion at December 31, 2023, reflecting an increase of $31.0 million, or 0.7%, from September 30, 2023 and an increase of $411.7 million, or 10.2%, from December 31, 2022, with both quarterly and annual growth led by commercial lending.
As previously disclosed, the Company repositioned a portion of its investment securities portfolio, selling approximately $54 million in available-for-sale agency mortgage-backed securities early in the fourth quarter at an after-tax loss of $2.8 million, reinvesting the proceeds into higher yielding bonds. The after-tax interest income benefit of $1.4 million annually translates to an earn-back of two years.
Net interest income of $39.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 decreased $1.8 million, or 4.3%, and $3.3 million, or 7.6%, from the linked and year-ago quarters, respectively. Full year net interest income of $165.7 million was down $1.7 million, or 1.0%, from 2022. Net interest income in 2023 has been impacted by the current higher interest rate environment that has driven funding costs higher.
Noninterest income was $15.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, up $4.9 million, or 46.6%, from the third quarter of 2023 and up $4.4 million, or 40.5%, from the fourth quarter of 2022, while full year noninterest income totaled $48.2 million, reflecting an increase of $2.0 million, or 4.3%, from 2022.
Contributing to fourth quarter 2023 noninterest income was $9.1 million of company owned life insurance (“COLI”) revenue, approximately $8 million of which was generated by the surrender and redeploy of $53.9 million in cash surrender value of COLI during the quarter. The revenue from the transaction, which was partially offset by $5.4 million of related incremental income taxes, was based upon the crediting rate of the premium allocation to separate account investments, as supported by the performance of the underlying investment divisions. The cash surrender value of the separate account COLI and corresponding revenue is expected to stabilize in future periods.
Noninterest expense of $35.0 million for the current quarter was up $312 thousand, or 0.9%, from the third quarter of 2023 and up $1.5 million, or 4.6% from the fourth quarter of 2022, while full year noninterest expense of $137.2 million reflects an increase of $7.9 million, or 6.1%, over the prior year.
The Company continues to report strong credit quality metrics, including annual net charge-offs to total loans of 0.20% and non-performing assets to total assets of 0.44% as of December 31, 2023.
"Amid unprecedented pressures on the banking industry throughout 2023, our Company responded by defending and growing deposits, strengthening liquidity and capital while deepening relationships with our customers and welcoming new ones to our diversified financial services company," said President and Chief Executive Officer Martin K. Birmingham. "We also took meaningful steps to position our Company for future success and growth. The strategic realignment announced in December 2023 strengthens our leadership team and streamlines our organizational structure in key areas while also supporting our continued focus on expense management.
"Loans grew 10.2% in 2023, driven by strong commercial loan growth in the first half of the year. Credit quality remains sound and we bolstered our reserves in the fourth quarter, increasing our allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans by two basis points to 1.14%. Credit-disciplined loan growth has been and continues to be a key focus. Our relationship-based approach gives us confidence in our ability to work with borrowers dealing with the challenges of higher rates."
Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer W. Jack Plants II added, "During the fourth quarter, we took proactive measures to enhance our earnings generation potential amid the challenging operating environment that has created continued funding cost pressures for our industry. We repositioned a segment of our investment securities portfolio supporting near-term and future earnings generation in what we believe is a prudent use of capital. Heading into 2024, we have over $1.3 billion in available liquidity and approximately $1.1 billion in cash flow anticipated over the next twelve months which we expect to deploy into higher yielding earning assets."
Leadership and Organizational Update
On December 8, 2023, the Company announced changes to its executive leadership team and an associated realignment to strengthen its ability to execute on its long-term strategy and risk functions. As previously disclosed, the realignment impacted approximately 3.4% of the Company’s workforce at the time and is also reflective of proactive measures to remove approximately $6 million in annual noninterest expenses that are primarily representative of salaries and benefits.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income was $39.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.8 million from the third quarter of 2023 and a decrease of $3.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 due primarily to higher funding costs.
Average interest-earning assets for the current quarter were $5.73 billion, an increase of $22.6 million from the third quarter of 2023 due to a $39.8 million increase in the average balance of Federal Reserve interest-earning cash and a $13.6 million increase in average loans, partially offset by a $30.8 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities. Average interest-earning assets for the current quarter were $396.4 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2022 due to a $476.0 million increase in average loans and a $53.4 million increase in the average balance of Federal Reserve interest-earning cash, partially offset by a $133.0 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities.
Average interest-bearing liabilities for the current quarter were $4.49 billion, an increase of $67.2 million from the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to a $299.6 million increase in average savings and money market deposits and a $13.9 million increase in average interest-bearing demand deposits, partially offset by a $138.3 million decrease in average short-term borrowings and a $108.2 million decrease in average time deposits. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $528.6 million higher than the year-ago quarter, due to a $339.7 million increase in average time deposits, a $284.6 million increase in average savings and money market accounts deposits and a $47.1 million increase in average borrowings, partially offset by a $142.8 million decrease in average interest-bearing demand deposits.
Net interest margin was 2.78% in the current quarter as compared to 2.91% in the third quarter of 2023 and 3.23% in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of higher funding costs amid the current higher interest rate environment, as well as seasonality and repricing within the public deposit portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets.
Net interest income was $165.7 million for the full year 2023, down $1.7 million from 2022. Net interest margin was 2.94% for the full year 2023, compared to 3.20% for 2022.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $15.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of $4.9 million from the third quarter of 2023 and an increase of $4.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2022.
Investment advisory income of $2.7 million was $125 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023 and $155 thousand lower than the fourth quarter of 2022. The linked quarter increase was due to the positive impact of new and increased client accounts in addition to market-driven increases in assets under management, while the year-over-year decline was primarily due to lower transaction-based fees on retail accounts in the most recent period.
Insurance income of $1.6 million was $63 thousand lower than the third quarter of 2023 and $153 thousand higher than the fourth quarter of 2022, with the increase from the prior year period driven by higher premium renewal rates reflecting market conditions.
Income from company owned life insurance of $9.1 million was $8.1 million higher than the third quarter of 2023 and $8.3 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2022, due to the higher crediting rate and associated impact to cash surrender value related to the previously mentioned surrender and redeploy strategy executed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Income from investments in limited partnerships of $672 thousand was $281 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023 and $481 thousand higher than the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company has made several investments in limited partnerships, primarily small business investment companies, and accounts for these investments under the equity method. Income from these investments fluctuates based on the maturity and performance of the underlying investments.
Income (loss) from derivative instruments, net was a loss of $68 thousand in the current quarter, $287 thousand lower than the third quarter of 2023 and $724 thousand lower than in the fourth quarter of 2022. Income from derivative instruments, net is based on the number and value of interest rate swap transactions executed during the quarter combined with the impact of changes in the fair value of borrower-facing trades.
A net loss on investment securities of $3.6 million was recognized in the current quarter, due to the previously disclosed securities portfolio restructuring. No such losses were recorded in the linked or year-ago periods.
Noninterest income was $48.2 million for the full year 2023, $2.0 million higher than 2022.
Income from company owned life insurance of $12.1 million was $6.6 million higher than in 2022 due to income associated with the previously mentioned surrender and redeploy strategy executed in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Service charges on deposits of $4.6 million in 2023 were down $1.3 million from 2022, due to a reduction in nonsufficient funds fees as a result of January 2023 changes in the Bank’s consumer overdraft program that align with trends in community banking.
A net loss on investment securities of $3.6 million was recognized in 2023, compared to a net loss of $15 thousand in 2022, due to the previously disclosed fourth quarter 2023 securities portfolio restructuring.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense was $35.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $34.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $33.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Salaries and employee benefits expense of $17.8 million was $318 thousand lower than the third quarter of 2023 and $259 thousand lower than the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease from the linked quarter was due to a variety of factors, including lower stock-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter this year driven by forfeitures, lower executive bonuses and incentive compensation reflecting adjustments for full year performance, coupled with lower benefits expenses due in part to the timing of medical and dental claim activity. These decreases were partially offset by higher severance expense associated with the Company's recent leadership and organizational changes and higher other bonuses reflecting earnout associated with SDN's 2021 acquisition of The Landmark Group. The decrease from the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense and lower executive bonuses and incentive compensation in the current quarter.
Professional services expenses of $1.4 million were $339 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023 and relatively flat with the fourth quarter of 2022. The linked quarter increase was due in part to the timing of accounting and audit fees that are typically incurred in the fourth quarter.
Computer and data processing expense of $5.6 million was $455 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2023 and $883 thousand higher than the fourth quarter of 2022 due in part to the Company's investments in data efficiency and marketing technology.
FDIC assessments expense of $1.3 million was $84 thousand higher than the linked quarter and $661 thousand higher than the year-ago quarter, with the year-over-year increase due in part to the impact of an increase in base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules by two basis points.
Advertising and promotions expense of $370 thousand was $374 thousand lower than the third quarter of 2023, during which the Company ran an advertising campaign related to its money market offering, and $206 thousand lower than the fourth quarter of 2022, when it refreshed elements of its visual brand.
The Company recognized restructuring charges totaling $188 thousand and $350 thousand in the fourth quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, in connection with several branch locations that were closed in the second half of 2020. The charges related to the write-down of real estate assets to market value based upon current market conditions.
Noninterest expense was $137.2 million for the full year 2023, $7.9 million higher than 2022.
Salaries and employee benefits expense of $71.9 million increased $2.3 million from the prior year, primarily due to annual merit increases, higher pension expenses and increased medical and dental claim activity, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation, executive bonuses and incentive compensation.
Computer and data processing expense of $20.1 million was $2.5 million higher than 2022, as a result of the previously mentioned investments in data efficiency and marketing technology.
FDIC assessments expense of $4.9 million was up $2.5 million from the prior year, due in part to the impact of the previously mentioned increase in base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules.
Restructuring charges related to the 2020 closing of several branches totaled $114 thousand in 2023 as compared to $1.6 million in 2022 due to the previously described write-down of real estate assets.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $5.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, and $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. During the fourth quarter, the Company incurred additional taxes of approximately $5.4 million associated with the capital gains of the previously mentioned company owned life insurance surrender coupled with a 10% modified endowment contract penalty that is typical of general account surrenders. The Company also recognized federal and state tax benefits related to tax credit investments placed in service and/or amortized during the fourth quarter of 2023, third quarter of 2023, and fourth quarter of 2022, resulting in income tax expense reductions of $901 thousand, $731 thousand, and $1.4 million, respectively.
The effective tax rate was 34.5% for the fourth quarter of 2023, 14.8% for the third quarter of 2023, and 16.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate fluctuates on a quarterly basis primarily due to the level of pre-tax earnings and may differ from statutory rates because of interest income from tax-exempt securities, earnings on company owned life insurance and the impact of tax credit investments. The effective tax rate for full year 2023 and 2022 was 20.3%.
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
Total assets were $6.16 billion at December 31, 2023, up $20.7 million from September 30, 2023, and up $363.6 million from December 31, 2022.
Investment securities were $1.04 billion at December 31, 2023, up $27.5 million from September 30, 2023, and down $107.5 million from December 31, 2022.
Total loans were $4.46 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $31.0 million, or 0.7%, from September 30, 2023, and an increase of $411.7 million, or 10.2%, from December 31, 2022.
Commercial business loans totaled $735.7 million, up $24.2 million, or 3.4%, from September 30, 2023, and up $71.5 million, or 10.8%, from December 31, 2022.
Commercial mortgage loans totaled $2.01 billion, up $20.0 million, or 1.0%, from September 30, 2023, and up $325.5 million, or 19.4%, from December 31, 2022.
Residential real estate loans totaled $649.8 million, up $14.6 million, or 2.3%, from September 30, 2023, and up $59.9 million, or 10.1%, from December 31, 2022.
Consumer indirect loans totaled $948.8 million, down $33.3 million, or 3.4%, from September 30, 2023, and down $74.8 million, or 7.3%, from December 31, 2022.
Total deposits were $5.21 billion at December 31, 2023, down $103.1 million, or 1.9%, from September 30, 2023, and up $283.5 million, or 5.8%, from December 31, 2022. The decrease from September 30, 2023 was primarily the result of a reduction in brokered deposits between periods as well as seasonal outflows of public and reciprocal deposits. The increase from December 31, 2022 was driven by increases in nonpublic deposits associated with the Company's recent money market advertising campaign as well as Banking-as-a-Service, or BaaS, deposits. Public deposit balances represented 20% of total deposits at December 31, 2023, 20% at September 30, 2023 and 23% at December 31, 2022.
Short-term borrowings were $185.0 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $70.0 million at September 30, 2023 and $205.0 million at December 31, 2022. Short-term borrowings and brokered deposits have historically been utilized to manage the seasonality of public deposits.
Shareholders' equity was $454.8 million at December 31, 2023, compared to $408.7 million at September 30, 2023, and $405.6 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in shareholders' equity compared to the linked and year-ago period ends was primarily due to the reduction in longer term interest rates, which reduced accumulated other comprehensive loss on the investment securities portfolio. Shareholders' equity has been negatively impacted since 2022 by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with unrealized losses in the available for sale securities portfolio. Management believes the unrealized losses are temporary in nature, as they are associated with the increase in interest rates. The securities portfolio continues to generate cash flow and given the high credit quality of the agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio, management expects the bonds to ultimately mature at a terminal value equivalent to par.
Common book value per share was $28.40 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $2.99, or 11.8%, from $25.41 at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $3.09, or 12.2%, from $25.31 at December 31, 2022. Tangible common book value per share(1) was $23.69 at December 31, 2023, an increase of $3.00, or 14.5%, from $20.69 at September 30, 2023, and an increase of $3.16, or 15.4%, from $20.53 at December 31, 2022. The common equity to assets ratio was 7.10% at December 31, 2023, compared to 6.37% at September 30, 2023, and 6.70% at December 31, 2022. Tangible common equity to tangible assets(1), or the TCE ratio, was 6.00%, 5.25% and 5.50% at December 31, 2023, September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The primary driver of variations in all four measures for the comparable linked and year-ago period ends was the previously described changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company declared a common stock dividend of $0.30 per common share, consistent with the linked quarter and representing an increase of 3.4% over the prior year quarter. The dividend returned 49.2% of fourth quarter net income to common shareholders.
The Company's regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2023 continued to exceed all regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized.
Leverage Ratio was 8.18% compared to 8.20% and 8.33% at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 9.34% compared to 9.26% and 9.42% at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 9.67% compared to 9.58% and 9.78% at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 12.02% compared to 11.91% and 12.13% at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Credit Quality
Non-performing loans were $26.7 million, or 0.60% of total loans, at December 31, 2023, as compared to $9.5 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at September 30, 2023, and $10.2 million, or 0.25% of total loans, at December 31, 2022. The increase in non-performing loans was primarily driven by one commercial loan relationship that was placed on nonaccrual during the fourth quarter of 2023. Net charge-offs were $4.2 million, representing 0.38% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the current quarter, as compared to net charge-offs of $1.6 million, or an annualized 0.14% of average loans, in the third quarter of 2023 and net charge-offs of $3.3 million, or an annualized 0.34%, in the fourth quarter of 2022. During the third quarter of 2023, the Company recovered $1.0 million primarily associated with the payoff of one commercial loan that it previously recorded a partial charge-off for in the fourth quarter of 2022.
At December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio was 1.14%, compared to 1.12% at both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Provision for credit losses was $5.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $966 thousand in the linked quarter and $6.1 million in the prior year quarter. Provision for credit losses on loans was $5.7 million in the current quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 and $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The allowance for unfunded commitments, also included in provision for credit losses as required by the current expected credit loss standard ("CECL"), totaled a credit of $403 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2023, a credit of $426 thousand in the third quarter of 2023, and a provision of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected an increase in net charge-offs in the current quarter, coupled with an increase in specific reserves on commercial loans, primarily associated with the previously mentioned commercial loan relationship that moved to nonaccrual during the quarter.
The Company has remained strategically focused on the importance of credit discipline, allocating resources to credit and risk management functions as the loan portfolio has grown. The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to non-performing loans was 192% at December 31, 2023, 521% at September 30, 2023, and 445% at December 31, 2022, reflective of the higher level of nonperforming loans reported at year-end.
