Eagle Bancorp Montana Earns $1.8 Million, or $0.24 per Diluted Share, in Second Quarter of 2022; Increases Quarterly Cash Dividend by 10% to $0.1375 per Share

HELENA, Mont., July 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBMT), (the “Company,” “Eagle”), the holding company of Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $2.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter, and $2.7 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in the second quarter a year ago. Second quarter results were impacted by $1.9 million in acquisition costs associated with its merger of First Community Bancorp, Inc., and its subsidiary, First Community Bank (“First Community”). This compared to $317,000 in acquisition costs during the first quarter of 2022, and no acquisition costs in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of 2022, net income was $4.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2021.

Eagle’s board of directors increased its quarterly cash dividend by 10% to $0.1375 per share on July 21, 2022. The dividend will be payable September 2, 2022 to shareholders of record August 12, 2022. The current dividend represents an annualized yield of 2.81% based on recent market prices.

“The highlight of the second quarter was completing the acquisition of First Community,” said Peter J. Johnson, CEO. “In the transaction, we acquired nine branches and two mortgage loan production offices. In addition, we added approximately $370 million in assets, $321 million in deposits and $191 million in loans, substantially impacting our balance sheet for the second quarter of 2022. First Community is a highly experienced agriculture and commercial lender with a 130-year operating history in Montana and deep roots in the communities it serves. This merger complements our franchise and positions us well in key commercial and agricultural markets across Montana.”

Eagle closed its acquisition of First Community on April 30, 2022 in a transaction valued at approximately $38.6 million. “The acquisition of First Community brings our total to four completed mergers within the last five years,” said Laura F. Clark, President. “All four transactions further solidify our position as the fourth-largest Montana-based bank and provide us with a unique opportunity to expand our market presence and lending activities across the state.”

Balance Sheet Results

In large part due to the First Community acquisition, Eagle’s total assets increased 39.8% to $1.90 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.36 billion a year ago, and increased 27.4% from $1.49 billion three months earlier.

The investment securities portfolio increased to $384.0 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $264.6 million at March 31, 2022, and $234.0 million at June 30, 2021.

“While a majority of the loan increase was due to the recent acquisition of First Community, organic loan growth was strong, increasing $101.4 million or 10.6% during the second quarter,” said Clark.

Eagle originated $159.2 million in new residential mortgages during the quarter and sold $150.5 million in residential mortgages, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 3.47%. This production compares to residential mortgage originations of $177.5 million in the preceding quarter with sales of $172.1 million and an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 3.62%.

Commercial real estate loans increased 32.0% to $486.2 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $368.3 million a year earlier. Commercial construction and development loans increased 108.8% to $132.6 million, compared to $63.5 million a year ago. Agricultural and farmland loans increased 91.2% to $230.8 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $120.7 million a year earlier. Residential mortgage loans increased 30.5% to $132.4 million, compared to $101.4 million a year earlier. Commercial loans increased 19.1% to $128.5 million, compared to $107.9 million a year ago. Home equity loans increased 12.0% to $62.4 million, residential construction loans increased 34.0% to $53.9 million, and consumer loans increased 36.7% to $25.8 million, compared to a year ago.  

Total deposits increased 44.2% to $1.65 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.15 billion at June 30, 2021, and increased 30.0% from $1.27 billion at March 31, 2022. Noninterest-bearing checking accounts represented 30.2%, interest-bearing checking accounts represented 16.1%, savings accounts represented 23.4%, money market accounts comprised 19.8% and time certificates of deposit made up 10.5% of the total deposit portfolio at June 30, 2022.

Shareholders’ equity was $162.8 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $152.7 million a year earlier and $143.5 million three months earlier. Tangible book value was $14.82 per share, at June 30, 2022, compared to $19.17 per share a year earlier and $18.08 per share three months earlier.  

Operating Results

“Higher yields on interest earning assets contributed to NIM expansion during the second quarter,” said Johnson. “With the recent rate increase enacted by the Federal Reserve in May and June 2022, we anticipate continued improvement in our NIM in future quarters, especially with the possibility of additional rate increases throughout the year.”  

Eagle’s NIM was 4.09% in the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3.64% in the preceding quarter, and 3.81% in the second quarter a year ago. The interest accretion on acquired loans totaled $790,000 and resulted in a 20 basis-point increase in the NIM during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $108,000 and a three basis-point increase in the NIM during the preceding quarter. Average yields on earning assets for the second quarter increased to 4.37% from 4.08% a year ago. For the first six months of 2022, the NIM was consistent with the prior year.

Eagle’s second quarter revenues increased 15.7% to $23.3 million, compared to $20.1 million in the preceding quarter and increased 3.0% compared to $22.6 million in the second quarter a year ago. In the first six months of 2022, revenues were $43.4 million, compared to $47.2 million in the first six months of 2021. The decrease compared to the first six months a year ago was largely due to lower volumes in mortgage banking activity.

Net interest income, before the loan loss provision, increased 34.8% to $16.0 million in the second quarter, compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, and increased 41.0% compared to $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. Year-to-date, net interest income increased 23.8% to $27.8 million, compared to $22.5 million in the same period one year earlier.

Eagle’s total noninterest income decreased 11.5% to $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $8.3 million in the preceding quarter, and decreased 35.1% compared to $11.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. Net mortgage banking, the largest component of noninterest income, totaled $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $6.2 million in the preceding quarter and $9.9 million in the second quarter a year ago. These changes are largely driven by the reduced volumes in mortgage activity. In the first six months of 2022, noninterest income decreased 36.7% to $15.6 million, compared to $24.7 million in the first six months of 2021. Net mortgage banking revenue decreased 45.9% to $11.7 million in the first six months of 2022, compared to $21.7 million in the first six months of 2021. These decreases were driven by a decline in net gain on sale of mortgage loans.

Second quarter noninterest expense increased to $20.0 million, compared to $16.9 million in the preceding quarter and $19.0 million in the second quarter a year ago. Acquisition costs related to the merger with First Community totaled $1.9 million for the current quarter, compared to $317,000 in the prior quarter and no acquisition costs in the year ago quarter.   In the first six months of 2022, noninterest expense increased modestly to $37.0 million, compared to $36.3 million in the first six months of 2021. The decrease to salaries and employee benefits expense was offset by acquisition costs in the first six months of the year.

For the second quarter of 2022, the income tax provision totaled $634,000, for an effective tax rate of 26.4%, compared to $695,000 in the preceding quarter, and $893,000 in the second quarter of 2021.  

Credit Quality

The loan loss provision was $858,000 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $279,000 in the preceding quarter and $22,000 in the second quarter a year ago. The increase in the loan loss provision was related to current quarter charge-offs, as well as loan growth.   The allowance for loan losses represented 233.3% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2022, compared to 202.9% three months earlier and 135.6% a year earlier. Nonperforming loans decreased to $5.9 million at June 30, 2022, compared to $6.3 million at March 31, 2022, and $8.8 million a year earlier.

Eagle had $345,000 in other real estate owned and other repossessed assets on its books at June 30, 2022. This compared to $346,000 at March 31, 2022, and $6,000 at June 30, 2021.

Net loan charge-offs/recoveries totaled $233,000 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to net loan charge-offs of $79,000 in the preceding quarter and net loan charge-offs of $22,000 in the second quarter a year ago. The allowance for loan losses was $13.3 million, or 1.07% of total loans, at June 30, 2022, compared to $12.7 million, or 1.32% of total loans, at March 31, 2022, and $11.9 million, or 1.36% of total loans, a year ago.  

Capital Management

The ratio of tangible common shareholders’ equity (shareholders’ equity, less goodwill and core deposit intangible) to tangible assets (total assets, less goodwill and core deposit intangible) decreased from 8.24% at March 31, 2022 to 6.45% at June 30, 2022. Shareholders’ equity increased due to stock issued for the First Community acquisition. However, the acquisition also increased goodwill and core deposit intangible. In addition, shareholders’ equity was reduced due to an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to securities available-for-sale. These unrealized losses were a result of increased interest rates. As of June 30, 2022, Eagle’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements and is deemed well capitalized.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States, or GAAP, the Financial Ratios and Other Data contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP disclosures include: 1) core efficiency ratio, 2) tangible book value per share, 3) tangible common equity to tangible assets, 4) earnings per diluted share, excluding acquisition costs and 5) return on average assets, excluding acquisition costs. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. In particular, the use of tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts.

The numerator for the core efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting acquisition costs and intangible asset amortization from noninterest expense. Tangible assets and tangible common shareholders’ equity are calculated by excluding intangible assets from assets and shareholders’ equity, respectively. For these financial measures, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. We believe that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and present this measure to facilitate the comparison of the quality and composition of our capital over time and in comparison, to our competitors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders’ equity determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.
