The Community Financial Corporation Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings for 2022






WALDORF, Md., Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Community Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TCFC) (the “Company”), the holding company for Community Bank of the Chesapeake (the “Bank”), today reported its results of operations for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 of $7.6 million, or $1.35 per diluted common share compared with net income of $7.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted common share for the third quarter of 2022, and net income of $6.8 million, or $1.18 per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The Company reported net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $28.3 million, or $5.00 per diluted common share compared to a net income of $25.9 million, or $4.47 per diluted common share for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Announced Merger of Equals with Shore Bancshares, Inc.: On December 14, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to undertake a merger of equals pursuant to which the Company and Bank will merge into Shore Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHBI) ("Shore") in an all-stock transaction. The combined company will have total assets of approximately $6.0 billion on a pro forma basis. Under the terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies and which remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, as well as the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, holders of TCFC common stock will have the right to receive 2.3287 shares of Shore Bancshares, Inc. common stock. The merger is expected to close in the late second quarter or early third quarter of 2023. James M. Burke, The Community Financial Corporation’s current President and Chief Executive Officer, will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company.

    The Company incurred $1.0 million of merger and acquisition costs during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to the transaction and anticipates additional expenses in 2023 related to the transaction.

  • Record Earnings Per Share: Net income totaled $7.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, or $1.35 per diluted common share compared to net income of $6.8 million or $1.18 per diluted common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $7.6 million or $1.34 per diluted common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

    Return on average assets ("ROAA") and return on average common equity ("ROACE") were 1.28% and 16.61% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to 1.18% and 13.00% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 1.31% and 15.97% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

  • Impact of Merger & Acquisition Costs and Sale of Equity Investment: During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company incurred $1.0 million in merger related costs and recognized a gain of $0.7 million on the sale of its equity investment in Infinex Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Infinex”). The net impact of these events for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was a decrease to EPS of $0.05 per diluted share and a decrease to ROAA of five basis points. The resulting non-GAAP diluted EPS and non-GAAP ROAA were $1.40 and 1.33%, respectively.

    Subsequent to the purchase of Infinex by Advisor Group, the Bank continues to use Infinex as its broker of record for its wealth division.

  • Expanding Net Interest Margin: Net interest margin increased to 3.64% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 from 3.47% for the third quarter of 2022. Loan and overall interest-earning asset yields increased 46 and 61 basis points to 4.92% and 4.50% in the fourth quarter of 2022 from 4.46% and 3.89% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s cost of funds increased 46 basis points for the comparable three month period from 0.43% to 0.89%.

    The loan portfolio is positioned for rising rates with $442.8 million or 24% of net portfolio loans scheduled to reprice monthly or in the next three months and an additional $108.5 million or 6% repricing in the following nine months. The Bank’s effective duration on the loan portfolio was 2.0 years at December 31, 2022. If the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") slows or pauses interest rate increases, the Company expects modest margin compression to occur as deposit rates begin to normalize in a more stable environment.

  • Solid Loan Growth: Gross portfolio loans increased to $1,821.1 million, an increase of $77.8 million or 17.9% annualized, compared to the prior quarter. Portfolio loans increased $242.3 million or 15.3% during the year ended December 31, 2022. The loan pipeline at December 31, 2022 was $100.0 million compared to $192.0 million at September 30, 2022.

    Management anticipates moderate 2023 loan growth of between six and eight percent. Goals for lenders and business development teams have been further aligned to build on 2022 progress in acquiring customer operating deposit accounts. More modest loan goals in the current interest rate environment should contribute to building franchise-enhancing relationships with customers while mitigating potential margin compression from the use of more costly non-core funding sources.

  • Deposits and Funding: During 2022, the Bank increased noninterest-bearing accounts by $184.3 million to $630.1 million or 30.17% of deposits at December 31, 2022 from 21.68% of deposits at December 31, 2021. Total deposits increased $32.3 million in 2022 from $2,056.2 million at December 31, 2021 to $2,088.5 million at December 31, 2022. The stability in deposit balances coupled with significant loan growth required the Bank to use wholesale funding in the fourth quarter. The Bank’s deposit cycle generally sees deposit balances decrease in the first and fourth quarters as business customers and municipalities use funds for operating needs and build in the second and third quarters.

    At December 31, 2022, the Company had wholesale funding, which includes brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, of $133.5 million compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2021.

  • Stable Asset Quality: Non-accrual loans, OREO and TDRs were $6.5 million or 0.27% of total assets at December 31, 2022 compared to $6.7 million or 0.28% of total assets and $8.1 million or 0.35% of total assets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Classified assets increased $0.9 million to $6.1 million at December 31, 2022 from $5.2 million at December 31, 2021. The Company had no COVID-19 deferred loans at December 31, 2022.

Management Commentary

"The fourth quarter capped a transformational year at Community Financial,” stated James M. Burke, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Community Financial Corporation. “Record earnings in each quarter combined for record annual performance. Investments in our business and continued expansion into Virginia fueled both growth and increased profitability. Our high-quality deposit franchise, while not immune from the recent increases in rates, continues to be a key differentiator that drives shareholder value.”

Burke continued, “In the fourth quarter, we took a major step forward in our strategic vision agreeing to a merger of equals with Shore Bancshares. This strategic combination is expected to enhance long-term shareholder value and help us better serve the communities in which we live and work. Community Financial and Shore Bancshares, Inc. share similar cultures and visions for the future. By achieving greater scale, we will be positioned to help existing and new customers with higher loan limits and enhanced services, increase investment in technology, and offer expanded career opportunities to our employees.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the comparable quarters increased primarily from increases in interest-earning asset yields and growth in loans partially offset by increased interest expense from higher funding costs. Net interest margin of 3.64% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased 42 basis points from 3.22% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 and increased 17 basis points from 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net interest margin expanded during the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to average yields on loans and investment securities (not including interest-bearing deposits) increasing to 4.92% and 2.95% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 from 4.46% and 2.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Interest income from the Company’s participation in the U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") was $34,000 and $0.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Net interest income increased for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 due primarily to growth in loans and increases in investment and loan yields. Loan yields increased due to the re-pricing of the Bank’s adjustable rate portfolios as well as a change in the mix of loans from lower yielding PPP loans to higher yielding commercial real estate loans. Increases to net interest income were partially offset by increased interest expense from higher funding costs. Loan interest income increased $7.3 million to $72.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 from $65.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Excluding PPP interest income, for the comparable periods loan interest income increased $11.5 million. Net interest margin of 3.38% for the year ended December 31, 2022 was four basis points higher than the 3.34% for the year ended December 31, 2021. PPP loan interest positively impacted margins by four basis points for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 13 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company’s cost of funds was 0.89% during the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to 0.43% for the prior quarter and increased from 0.17% for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The Bank’s interest rate asset sensitivity has improved in 2022, as average non-interest bearing ("NIB") deposit accounts have increased. For the fourth quarter of 2022 total average NIB deposits increased to 30.2% compared to 22.2% for the comparable period in 2021. The Company’s cost of funds was 0.43% during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 0.21% for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Management anticipates that net interest margins will contract slightly in the first quarter of 2023 as deposit betas are likely to increase due to more aggressive competition for funding. The average cost of deposits increased 52 basis points from 0.44% for the month of September 30, 2022 to 0.96% for the month of December 31, 2022. Higher beta municipal relationships were the main driver of increased deposit rates through the fourth quarter of 2022. As expected, deposit rates increased for commercial and retail customers during the fourth quarter of 2022. For the same comparative periods, average interest-earning asset yields increased 65 basis points from 4.01% to 4.66%.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was flat at $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. The similar performance for the comparable periods was due to decreases in loan appraisal charges and interest rate protection referral fee income offset by a gain on the sale of the Bank’s equity investment in Infinex during the fourth quarter of 2022. Noninterest income as a percentage of average assets was 0.39% and 0.40%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Noninterest income decreased $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to gains of $0.6 million on the sale of investment securities in 2021 and a $1.4 million decrease in interest rate protection referral fee income. In addition, unrealized losses on equity securities increased $0.4 million. These reductions for the comparable periods were partially offset by $0.1 million in increased service charge income, a $0.7 million gain on the sale of the Bank’s equity investment in Infinex, and a $0.4 million increase in noninterest income related to the sale of impaired loans. In the first quarter of 2021, the Bank sold non-accrual and classified commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans and recognized a loss on the sale of $0.2 million, and in the second quarter of 2022, impaired loan sales resulted in a gain of $0.2 million. Noninterest income as a percentage of assets was 0.27% and 0.36%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense of $11.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, increased $1.2 million or 11.90% compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to $1.0 million in merger and acquisition costs and increased compensation and benefits of $0.3 million. Compensation and benefits increased in the second half of 2022 due to increased incentive compensation resulting from improvements in profitability as well as the Company’s decision in the second quarter of 2022 to increase base compensation by 4% and its minimum starting wage to $20.00 per hour for non-executive employees to address local wage pressure caused by inflation and to attract and retain our employees.

In addition, for the comparable periods, occupancy expense increased $0.2 million and fraud expense increased $0.2 million. During 2022, data processing, professional fees, and occupancy costs increased substantially compared to the prior year due in large part to the increased cost of labor and materials due to inflation. Additionally, the occupancy costs increased during the second half of 2022 with the opening of a new branch in Fredericksburg – Harrison Crossing, Virginia. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million in OREO expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Company had no OREO balances for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Noninterest expense increased $0.3 million or 0.7% to $39.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in noninterest expense for the comparable periods was primarily due to increased expenses for occupancy, merger and acquisition costs, data processing and professional fees. These increases to noninterest expense were partially offset by decreased compensation, fraud losses and OREO expenses.

Compensation and benefits were lower for the comparative periods due to lower health insurance claims, a lower average FTE count than the prior year and lower deferred compensation accruals. In addition, compensation and benefits expense has benefited from the Company’s increased use of technology.

Noninterest expense in 2021 included a $1.3 million initial expense and subsequent recovery of $0.2 million related to an isolated wire transfer fraud incident. Our investigation determined that no information systems of the Bank were compromised, and no employee fraud was involved. Excluding the impact of the $1.1 million isolated fraud losses and the $0.3 million in PPP deferred costs, the Company’s noninterest expense was $38.3 million for year ended December 31, 2021. OREO expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $1.5 million. The Company had no OREO balances for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company’s efficiency ratio was 50.13% and 49.34% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 53.10% and 52.67% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. The efficiency ratios have improved (decreased) as the Company has been able to generate more net interest income and noninterest income while controlling expense growth. Excluding merger and acquisition costs and core deposit intangible amortization, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 46.80% and 48.02% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 52.50% and 52.00% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 was 26.2% and 25.3%. The effective tax rate was 24.9% and 25.2% for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021.

Balance Sheet

Assets

Total assets increased $82.7 million, or 3.6%, to $2.41 billion at December 31, 2022 compared to total assets of $2.33 billion at December 31, 2021, primarily due to net loan growth. Cash decreased a net of $114.2 million and was used to fund net loan growth of $211.7 million. Available for sale ("AFS") debt securities, which are reported at fair value, decreased $35.1 million to $462.7 million, primarily due to unrealized losses from rising interest rates during 2022. In addition, deferred tax assets increased $15.6 million to $24.7 million primarily due to increases in unrealized losses of the Bank’s AFS investment portfolio related to changes in interest rates. Deferred tax assets also increased due to the adoption of the current expected credit losses ("CECL") accounting standard on January 1, 2022.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, total net loans increased 17.7% annualized or $76.1 million from $1,722.5 million at September 30, 2022 to $1,798.5 million at December 31, 2022. The Company’s loan pipeline was $100.0 million at December 31, 2022. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate as a percentage of risk-based capital at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $1,032.6 million or 381% and $813.0 million or 331%, respectively. Construction loans as a percentage of risk-based capital at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $135.0 million or 50% and $140.4 million or 57%, respectively.

Funding

Total deposits increased $32.3 million or 1.6% to $2,088.5 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $2,056.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase included increases of $12.7 million to transaction deposits and $19.6 million to time deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased $184.3 million or 41.35% at December 31, 2022, representing 30.17% of deposits, compared to 21.68% of deposits at December 31, 2021. The Company’s business development efforts continue to focus on increasing non-interest bearing and lower cost transaction accounts.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had wholesale funding, which includes brokered deposits and FHLB advances, of $133.5 million compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2021.

Stockholders’ Equity and Regulatory Capital

During the year ended December 31, 2022, total stockholders’ equity decreased $21.1 million. The decrease in equity was primarily due to an increase of $41.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") related to the Bank’s AFS securities portfolio due to changes in market interest rates. In addition, equity decreased due to common dividends paid of $3.8 million, stock repurchases of $3.6 million, and $2.0 million for the adoption of the CECL accounting standard on January 1, 2022. Decreases in equity were partially offset by net income of $28.3 million and stock-based compensation and ESOP activity of $1.0 million.

The Company’s common equity to assets ratio decreased to 7.76% at December 31, 2022 from 8.94% at December 31, 2021. The Company’s ratio of tangible common equity ("TCE") to tangible assets decreased to 7.32% at December 31, 2022 from 8.48% at December 31, 2021 (see Non-GAAP reconciliation schedules) due primarily to increases in AOCL. Regulatory capital was not impacted by the increase in AOCL and Tier 1 capital to average asset ratios at the Company remained strong at 9.60% at December 31, 2022 compared to 9.23% at December 31, 2021.

On December 9, 2021, the Company announced its Board of Directors approved the resumption of repurchases allowed under the stock repurchase plan originally adopted in October 2020 (the "2020 Repurchase Plan"). The Company was permitted to repurchase up to the 99,450 shares remaining under the 2020 Repurchase Plan using up to $4.0 million in the aggregate and up to $1.5 million in the aggregate on a quarterly basis. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 13,647 shares at an average price of $37.11 per share and completed its authorization under the 2020 Repurchase Plan.

Asset Quality

Allowance for credit losses ("ACL") and provision for credit losses ("PCL")1; Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALLL") and provision for loan losses ("PLL"); Classified and Non-Performing Assets

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaced the incurred loss methodology for determining our ACL with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology applies to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. In addition, ASU 2016-13 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities. Credit-related impairments on AFS debt securities are now recognized as an allowance for credit loss rather than a write-down of the securities’ amortized cost basis when management does not intend to sell or believes that it is not likely that they will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the securities amortized cost basis. We adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022, are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. At adoption, the Company did not hold Held to Maturity ("HTM") investment debt securities.

The impact at adoption was an increase to the ACL of $2.5 million, the recording of a reserve for unfunded commitments of $0.2 million, an increase in deferred taxes of $0.7 million, and a decrease in retained earnings of $2.0 million.

ACL balances increased to 1.26% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2022 compared to an ALLL of 1.17% of portfolio loans at December 31, 2021. At and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company’s ACL increased $4.5 million or 24.3% to $22.9 million from $18.4 million at December 31, 2021. The Company recorded a $0.9 million and $2.4 million PCL for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to no PLL and $0.6 million PLL for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. There were $0.5 million in net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1.6 million in net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Management believes that the allowance is adequate at December 31, 2022.

Classified assets increased $0.9 million from $5.2 million at December 31, 2021 to $6.1 million at December 31, 2022. Management considers classified assets to be an important measure of asset quality. The Company’s risk rating process for classified loans is an important input into the Company’s ACL qualitative framework. Management remains committed to expeditiously resolving non-performing or substandard credits that are not likely to become performing or passing credits in a reasonable timeframe.

During 2021, classified assets decreased $17.1 million. Asset quality improved with the resolution of $16.9 million in non-accrual and impaired loans through loan sales and negotiated payoffs as well as the resolution of $3.1 million in OREO. The Company’s sale of impaired loans decreased the specific reserve, improved asset quality, and improved several ALLL qualitative factors.

The ratio of non-accrual loans and OREO to total gross portfolio loans and OREO decreased 14 basis points from 0.48% at December 31, 2021 to 0.34% at December 31, 2022. The ratio of non-accrual loans, OREO and TDRs to total assets decreased eight basis points from 0.35% at December 31, 2021 to 0.27% at December 31, 2022.

Non-accrual loans decreased $1.5 million from $7.6 million at December 31, 2021 to $6.1 million at December 31, 2022. There were no OREO balances at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Pre-Tax Pre-Provision ("PTPP") Income, PTPP Return on Average Assets ("ROAA"), PTPP Return on Average Common Equity ("ROACE"), and Return on Average Tangible Common Equity ("ROATCE")

Management believes that PTPP income, which reflects the Company’s profitability before income taxes and loan loss provisions, and exclude merger and acquisition costs and he Infinex equity settlement, allows investors to better assess the Company’s operating income and expenses in relation to the Company’s core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with credit provisions and different state income tax rates for comparable institutions. ROATCE is computed by dividing net earnings applicable to common shareholders by average tangible common shareholders’ equity, and exclude merger and acquisition costs and the Infinex equity settlement. Management believes that ROATCE is meaningful because it measures the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or internally developed. ROATCE is a non-GAAP measure and may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Management also believes that during a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, this information is useful as the impact of the pandemic on the loan loss provisions of various institutions will likely vary based on the geography of the communities served by a particular institution.
