Insights

Amalgamated Financial Corp.'s Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid performance across key metrics. The company reported net income of $26.8 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, slightly down from $27.2 million in Q1 2024. However, core net income increased to $26.2 million from $25.6 million in the previous quarter.

The bank's deposit growth was particularly impressive, with total deposits increasing by $143.2 million, or 2.0%, to $7.4 billion. Notably, political deposits saw a significant boost, increasing by $292.3 million, or 20%, to $1.7 billion. This growth in deposits, especially in the political sector, showcases the bank's strong position in this niche market.

The bank's net interest margin slightly compressed to 3.46%, primarily due to an unanticipated premium acceleration. However, the net interest income grew by $1.2 million, or 1.7%, to $69.2 million, indicating the bank's ability to generate higher income despite margin pressure.

Amalgamated's capital position remains strong, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.42% and a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 13.48%. The tangible book value per share increased by 4.5% to $20.61, representing a significant year-over-year growth of 22.8%. This growth in tangible book value is particularly impressive and indicates the bank's ability to create shareholder value.

While the bank's performance is strong overall, investors should keep an eye on the slight increase in nonperforming assets, which rose to 0.43% of total assets from 0.42% in the previous quarter. However, this increase appears manageable given the bank's overall financial health.

Amalgamated Financial Corp.'s Q2 2024 results highlight its unique positioning in the banking sector, particularly its focus on politically active customers. The significant growth in political deposits, up 20% to $1.7 billion, underscores the bank's strength in this niche market. This strategy provides a competitive advantage, especially during election cycles when political funding tends to increase.

The bank's deposit composition is noteworthy, with non-interest-bearing deposits representing 47% of total deposits. This favorable deposit mix contributes to the bank's relatively low average cost of deposits at 1.55%, which is important in the current high-interest-rate environment. Moreover, the super-core deposits, totaling $4.2 billion with a weighted average life of 17 years, provide a stable funding base for the bank's operations.

However, it's important to note that 60% of total deposits are uninsured. While this is not uncommon for banks of this size, it could potentially increase liquidity risk in times of financial stress. The bank's strong capital ratios and liquidity position help mitigate this risk, but it's an aspect that warrants ongoing monitoring.

The bank's loan portfolio shows modest growth, with net loans receivable increasing by 1.1% to $4.4 billion. The growth in multifamily and commercial real estate loans indicates the bank's focus on these sectors. However, the decrease in consumer solar loans and residential loans suggests a potential shift in lending strategy or market conditions in these areas.

Amalgamated's efficiency in managing expenses is evident, with the core non-interest expense increasing by only $1.0 million quarter-over-quarter. This disciplined approach to cost management, combined with growing core income, positions the bank well for sustainable profitability.

Second
Quarter Earnings

Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $26.8 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $27.2 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. The $0.4 million decrease during the quarter was primarily driven by $3.6 million decrease in non-core income from solar tax equity investments, which was expected, and a $1.4 million increase in non-interest expense. This was offset by a $2.3 million decrease in income tax expense, a $2.0 million increase in non-core ICS One-Way Sell fee income from our off-balance sheet deposits, and a $1.2 million increase in net interest income.

Core net income1 for the second quarter of 2024 was $26.2 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, compared to $25.6 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024. Excluded from core net income for the quarter, pre-tax, was $4.9 million of ICS One-Way Sell fee income, $2.7 million of losses on the sale of securities, $1.8 million of accelerated depreciation from solar tax equity investments, $0.4 million of gains on subordinated debt repurchases, and $44 thousand in severance costs. Excluded from core net income for the first quarter of 2024, pre-tax, was $2.9 million of ICS One-Way Sell fee income, $2.8 million of losses on the sale of securities, $1.8 million of tax credits from our solar tax equity investments, $0.5 million in gains on the settlement of a lease termination, and $0.2 million in severance costs.

Net interest income was $69.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $68.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. Loan interest income decreased $0.7 million and loan yields decreased 8 basis points as a result of $2.1 million of accelerated amortization related to purchase premiums associated with the payoff of a C&I loan relationship, offset by a $16.4 million increase in average loan balances. Interest income on securities increased $1.9 million driven by an increase in the average balance of securities of $138.5 million. Interest income on resell agreements increased $0.7 million driven by a $43.6 million increase in the average balance. The overall increase in interest income was offset by higher interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits of $3.0 million driven by a 22 basis point increase in cost and by an increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits of $126.7 million. The changes in deposit costs were primarily related to increased rates on money market products and select non-time deposit accounts and a 26 basis point increase in the cost of time deposits. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by strong deposit growth across both political and non-political sectors, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of higher cost borrowings of $183.5 million.

Net interest margin was 3.46% for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 3 basis points from 3.49% in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease is attributable to $2.1 million of accelerated amortization related to purchase premiums associated with the payoff of a C&I loan relationship as mentioned above, which had an approximate 10 basis point constrictive impact on net interest margin in the quarter. Prepayment penalties had no impact on our net interest margin in the second quarter of 2024, which is the same as in the prior quarter.

Provision for credit losses totaled an expense of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to an expense of $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The expense in the second quarter was primarily driven by charge-offs on the solar loan portfolio and increase in reserves on the solar loan portfolio, partially offset by improvements in macro-economic forecasts used in the CECL model.

Non-interest income was $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2024. Excluding all non-core income adjustments, core non-interest income1 was $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $8.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily related to higher commercial banking fees and increased fees from our treasury investment services, offset by modestly lower income from our trust business.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2024 was $39.5 million, an increase of $1.4 million from the first quarter of 2024. Core non-interest expense1 for the second quarter of 2024 was $39.5 million, an increase of $1.0 million from the first quarter of 2024. This was mainly driven by a $0.7 million increase in compensation and employee benefits expense due to select differential investments in employees, as well as higher data processing and personnel recruitment expense.

Our provision for income tax expense was $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2024. In the current quarter there were $0.5 million of discrete tax benefits resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2%. In the prior quarter, the conclusion of a state and city tax examination resulted in an adjustment of $0.9 million additional tax expense. Excluding the discrete items and adjustment, our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 26.6%, compared to 26.9% for the first quarter of 2024.

Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary

Total assets were $8.3 billion at June 30, 2024, compared to $8.1 billion at March 31, 2024, modestly growing our balance sheet within our target range. Notable changes within individual balance sheet line items include a $97.2 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, a $152.8 million increase in securities, and a $49.0 million increase in net loans receivable. Additionally, deposits excluding Brokered CDs increased by $152.0 million while Brokered CDs decreased $8.8 million, and other borrowings decreased by $60.0 million. Our off-balance sheet deposits increased by $607.0 million, or 133%, to $1.1 billion.

Total net loans receivable, at June 30, 2024 were $4.4 billion, an increase of $49.0 million, or 1.1% for the quarter. The increase in loans is primarily driven by a $55.1 million increase in multifamily loans, a $23.9 million increase in commercial real estate loans, offset by a $1.7 million decrease in commercial and industrial loans, a $12.9 million decrease in consumer solar loans, and a $14.7 million decrease in residential loans. During the quarter, criticized or classified loans decreased $6.4 million, largely related to a $9.5 million paydown on a classified commercial and industrial loan, and an upgrade of $3.7 million of commercial and industrial loans based on improvement in performance. This was offset by downgrades of small business loans totaling $6.1 million, and a $2.1 million increase in residential and consumer criticized and classified loans.

Total deposits at June 30, 2024 were $7.4 billion, an increase of $143.2 million, or 2.0%, during the quarter. Total deposits excluding Brokered CDs increased by $152.0 million to $7.3 billion, or a 2.1% increase. Including accounts currently held off-balance sheet, deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $1.7 billion as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $292.3 million during this quarter, of which a substantial portion were moved off-balance sheet. Non-interest-bearing deposits represented 46% of average total deposits and 47% of ending total deposits for the quarter, excluding Brokered CDs, contributing to an average cost of total deposits of 155 basis points. Super-core deposits2 totaled approximately $4.2 billion, had a weighted average life of 17 years, and comprised 58% of total deposits, excluding Brokered CDs. Total uninsured deposits were $4.5 billion, comprising 60% of total deposits.

Nonperforming assets totaled $35.7 million, or 0.43% of period-end total assets at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.7 million, compared with $34.0 million, or 0.42% on a linked quarter basis. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily driven by a $3.0 million increase in residential real estate nonaccrual loans and a $0.5 million increase in commercial and industrial nonaccrual loans, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in consumer solar nonaccrual loans and $0.8 million of commercial and industrial loan charge-offs.

During the quarter, the allowance for credit losses on loans decreased $1.0 million to $63.4 million. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.42%, a decrease of 4 basis points from 1.46% in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of a commercial and industrial loan charge-off that was previously fully reserved for.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release (and the accompanying financial information and tables) refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, “Core operating revenue,” “Core non-interest expense,” “Core non-interest income,” “Core net income,” “Tangible common equity,” “Average tangible common equity,” “Core return on average assets,” “Core return on average tangible common equity,” and “Core efficiency ratio.”

Our management utilizes this information to compare our operating performance for June 30, 2024 versus certain periods in 2024 and 2023 and to prepare internal projections. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of our operating performance. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other discrete items unrelated to our core business, which are excluded, vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare our results to those of other companies.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information, however, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage readers to review the GAAP financial measures included in this release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial disclosures to comparable GAAP measures found in this release are set forth in the final pages of this release and also may be viewed on our website, amalgamatedbank.com.

Terminology

Certain terms used in this release are defined as follows:

“Core efficiency ratio” is defined as “Core non-interest expense” divided by “Core operating revenue.” We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is an efficiency ratio calculated by dividing total non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and total non-interest income.

“Core net income” is defined as net income after tax excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, ICS One-Way Sell fee income, gains on the sale of owned property, costs related to branch closures, restructuring/severance costs, acquisition costs, tax credits and accelerated depreciation on solar equity investments, and taxes on notable pre-tax items. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income.

“Core non-interest expense” is defined as total non-interest expense excluding costs related to branch closures, restructuring/severance, and acquisitions. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total non-interest expense.

“Core non-interest income” is defined as total non-interest income excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, ICS One-Way Sell fee income, gains on the sale of owned property, and tax credits and accelerated depreciation on solar equity investments. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is non-interest income.

“Core operating revenue” is defined as total net interest income plus “core non-interest income”. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is the total of net interest income and non-interest income.

“Core return on average assets” is defined as “Core net income” divided by average total assets. We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is return on average assets calculated by dividing net income by average total assets.

“Core return on average tangible common equity” is defined as “Core net income” divided by average “tangible common equity.” We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is return on average equity calculated by dividing net income by average total stockholders’ equity.

“Super-core deposits” are defined as total deposits from commercial and consumer customers, with a relationship length of greater than 5 years. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total deposits.

“Tangible assets” are defined as total assets excluding, as applicable, goodwill and core deposit intangibles. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total assets.
“Tangible common equity”, and “Tangible book value” are defined as stockholders’ equity excluding, as applicable, minority interests, preferred stock, goodwill and core deposit intangibles. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total stockholders’ equity.

"Traditional securities portfolio" is defined as total investment securities excluding PACE assessments. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is total investment securities.
