Texas Capital (TCBI) Stock Declines Despite Q3 Earnings Beat
Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. TCBI reported third-quarter 2023 earnings per share of $1.18, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.03. Also, the bottom line reflects a rise of 59.5% from the prior-year quarter.
TCBI’s results were aided by a rise in non-interest income and lower expenses. Also, the net interest margin (NIM) improved year over year on higher rates.
However, a fall in net interest income (NII) and higher provisions hurt results to some extent. Further, the quarter witnessed a decline in loan balance. These headwinds seem to have turned investors bearish on the stock, which fell almost 3.5% following the earnings release on Oct 19.
Net income available to common stockholders amounted to $57.4 million, jumping 54.6% year over year.
Revenues Rise & Costs Fall
Total revenues increased 5.5% year over year to $278.9 million due to an improvement in non-interest income. The top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $267.9 million.
NII was $232.1 million, which declined 2.9% year over year. The fall was primarily due to an increase in funding costs and a decline in average earning assets, partially offset by higher yields on average earning assets.
NIM expanded 8 basis points to 3.13%.
Non-interest income increased 85% to $46.9 million. This was primarily due to a rise in investment banking and trading income and other non-interest income.
Non-interest expenses decreased 8.7% to $179.9 million. The fall is mainly due to a decrease in salaries and benefits expenses and marketing costs.
As of Sep 30, 2023, total loans decreased 3.3% on a sequential basis to $20.61 billion. However, total deposits increased 2.4% to $23.88 billion.
Credit Quality Deteriorates
Total non-performing assets jumped 69.7% to $63.1 million from the prior-year quarter’s level. Texas Capital’s net charge-offs were $8.9 million compared with $2.7 million in the year-earlier quarter.
Further, provision for credit losses aggregated to $18 million compared with the year-ago quarter’s $12 million.
Capital Ratios Improve
Tangible common equity to total tangible assets came in at 9.4% compared with the year-ago quarter’s 8.5%.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 12.7%, up from the prior-year quarter’s 11.1%. Also, the leverage ratio was 12.1% compared with 10.7% as of Sep 30, 2022.
Our Viewpoint
A rise in revenues, growth in deposit balances, as well as a decent capital position during the third quarter look impressive for Texas Capital. However, the rise in provision for credit losses is concerning.
