Insights

Financial Analyst

Atlantic Union Bankshares delivered solid Q3 2024 results, showcasing the enhanced earnings power from the American National Bankshares acquisition. Key highlights include:

• Net income of $73.4 million, with EPS of $0.82
• Net interest income of $182.9 million, down slightly from Q2
• Net interest margin decreased 8 bps to 3.31%
• Nonperforming assets ratio stable at 0.20%
• ACL increased to $177.6 million, or 0.97% of total loans
• Total assets grew to $24.8 billion, up 19.6% YoY
• Deposits increased 6.1% (annualized) QoQ to $20.3 billion

The bank's focus on "soundness, profitability and growth" is evident in these results. The integration of American National Bank is complete, positioning AUB for expansion in North Carolina markets. While net interest income and margin faced some pressure, asset quality remains strong and the balance sheet shows healthy growth. The 0.32% dividend increase demonstrates confidence in the bank's financial position.

Market Research Analyst

Atlantic Union's Q3 results reflect a bank navigating a challenging interest rate environment while capitalizing on recent acquisitions. The 19.6% YoY asset growth and 21.0% deposit increase demonstrate significant expansion, largely attributed to the American National acquisition. However, the slight QoQ decrease in net interest income and margin compression highlight ongoing industry pressures.

Key trends to watch:

• Deposit mix shift: Brokered deposits up $901.5 million YoY, potentially impacting funding costs
• Loan growth: 20.0% YoY increase, but nearly flat QoQ
• Capital management: Common equity Tier 1 ratio improved to 9.77%
• Credit quality: Stable NPAs, slight increase in past due loans

The bank's strategy of prioritizing soundness over growth appears prudent in the current economic climate. Investors should monitor the bank's ability to maintain profitability and manage interest rate risk as it integrates acquisitions and pursues growth in new markets.

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company” or “Atlantic Union”) (NYSE: AUB) reported net income available to common shareholders of $73.4 million and basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.82 for the third quarter of 2024 and adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders⁽¹⁾ of $74.5 million and adjusted diluted operating earnings per common share⁽¹⁾ of $0.83 for the third quarter of 2024.

“Atlantic Union delivered solid financial results in the quarter and the enhanced earnings power we envisioned as a result of the American National Bankshares acquisition is now evident,” said John C. Asbury, president and chief executive officer of Atlantic Union. “During the quarter, we completed the integration work associated with American National Bank and added to our teams in our North Carolina markets which we believe offer long term growth and expansion opportunities. October marks the 8-year anniversary of my having joined the Company, and the transformation we have achieved during this time is exactly what we said we’d do at the outset. This would not have been possible without the dedication of our Teammates and support of our customers. We remain excited about what the future holds for Atlantic Union.

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the third quarter of 2024, net interest income was $182.9 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from $184.5 million in the second quarter of 2024. Net interest income - fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”)⁽¹⁾ was $186.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.5 million from $188.3 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decreases from the prior quarter in both net interest income and net interest income (FTE)⁽¹⁾ were primarily the result of increased interest expense due to the $111.3 million increase in average interest bearing liabilities and lower net accretion income and investment securities interest income, partially offset by increased interest income due to the $165.4 million increase in average loans held for investment (“LHFI”). For the third quarter of 2024, both the Company’s net interest margin and the net interest margin (FTE)⁽¹⁾ decreased 8 basis points compared to the prior quarter to 3.31% and to 3.38%, respectively, primarily due to higher cost of funds and lower yields on earning assets. Earning asset yields for the third quarter of 2024 decreased 2 basis points to 5.94% compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower yields on securities and lower loan accretion income, partially offset by growth in average LHFI. Cost of funds increased from the prior quarter by 6 basis points to 2.56% for the third quarter of 2024, due primarily to average deposit growth in higher yielding deposit products, partially offset by lower borrowing costs.

The Company’s net interest margin (FTE) ⁽¹⁾ includes the impact of acquisition accounting fair value adjustments. Net accretion income related to acquisition accounting declined by $1.6 million to $12.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The impact of accretion and amortization for the periods presented are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

		Loan				Deposit				Borrowings
		Accretion				Amortization				Amortization				Total
For the quarter ended June 30, 2024		$	15,660			$	(1,035	)		$	(285	)		$	14,340
For the quarter ended September 30, 2024			13,926				(913	)			(288	)			12,725

Past Due Loans

At September 30, 2024, past due loans still accruing interest totaled $55.2 million or 0.30% of total LHFI, compared to $40.2 million or 0.22% of total LHFI at June 30, 2024, and $40.6 million or 0.27% of total LHFI at September 30, 2023. The increase in past due loan levels at September 30, 2024 from June 30, 2024 was primarily within the 60-89 days past due category and driven by increases in past due relationships within the Commercial Real Estate (“CRE”) non-owner occupied, CRE owner occupied, and residential 1-4 family consumer as well as increases in Commercial and Industrial (“C&I”) past due relationships within the 30-59 days past due category. Of the total past due loans still accruing interest, $15.2 million or 0.08% of total LHFI were past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2024, compared to $15.6 million or 0.09% of total LHFI at June 30, 2024, and $11.9 million or 0.08% of total LHFI at September 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At September 30, 2024, the ACL was $177.6 million and included an allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) of $160.7 million and a reserve for unfunded commitments (“RUC”) of $16.9 million. The ACL at September 30, 2024 increased $1.9 million from June 30, 2024, primarily due to the impact of continued uncertainty in the economic outlook on certain portfolios.

The ACL as a percentage of total LHFI was 0.97% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.96% at June 30, 2024. The ALLL as a percentage of total LHFI was 0.88% at September 30, 2024, compared to 0.86% at June 30, 2024.

Net Charge-offs

Net charge-offs were $0.7 million or 0.01% of total average LHFI on an annualized basis for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.7 million or 0.04% (annualized) for the second quarter of 2024, and $0.3 million or 0.01% (annualized) for the third quarter of 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.6 million, compared to $21.8 million in the prior quarter, and $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. Included in the provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was $13.2 million initial provision expense on non-purchased credit deteriorated loans and $1.4 million on unfunded commitments, each acquired from American National Bankshares Inc. (“American National”).

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income increased $10.5 million to $34.3 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $23.8 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by $6.5 million of pre-tax losses incurred in the prior quarter on the sale of available for sale (“AFS”) securities as part of the Company’s restructuring of the American National securities portfolio.

Adjusted operating noninterest income,⁽¹⁾ which excludes losses and gains on sale of AFS securities (pre-tax gains of $4,000 in the third quarter and pre-tax losses of $6.5 million in the second quarter), increased $4.0 million to $34.3 million for the third quarter from $30.3 million for the prior quarter, primarily driven by a $1.9 million increase in other operating income due to an increase in equity method investment income, a $1.2 million increase in bank owned life insurance income primarily driven by death benefits received in the third quarter, and a $706,000 seasonal increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense decreased $27.4 million to $122.6 million for the third quarter of 2024 from $150.0 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by a $28.4 million decrease in pre-tax merger-related expenses associated with the American National acquisition.

Adjusted operating noninterest expense,⁽¹⁾ which excludes merger-related costs ($1.4 million in the third quarter and $29.8 million in the second quarter) and amortization of intangible assets ($5.8 million in the third quarter and $6.0 million in the second quarter), increased $1.2 million to $115.4 million for the third quarter from $114.2 million in the prior quarter, primarily driven by a $923,000 increase in salaries and benefits due to increases in variable incentive compensation expenses and full-time equivalent employees, as well as a $607,000 increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment premiums and other insurance driven by an increase in our assessment base as a result of the American National acquisition. These increases were partially offset by a $537,000 decrease in technology and data processing expense.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 17.0% and 17.6%, respectively, and the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 19.7% and 16.3%. respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a $4.8 million valuation allowance established during the second quarter of 2024, which resulted in a 250 basis points increase in the effective tax rate.

BALANCE SHEET

At September 30, 2024, total assets were $24.8 billion, an increase of $42.3 million or approximately 0.7% (annualized) from June 30, 2024 and $4.1 billion or approximately 19.6% from September 30, 2023. Total assets increased from the prior quarter due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily due to deposit growth, as well as an increase in the investment securities portfolio due to an increase in the market value of the AFS securities portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in other assets driven by decreases in deferred income taxes associated with other comprehensive income fair value changes related to AFS securities and derivatives in the current quarter. The increase in total assets from the prior year was due to growth in LHFI and the AFS securities portfolio, primarily due to the American National acquisition.

As a result of the American National acquisition, the Company’s associated goodwill at September 30, 2024 totaled $287.5 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company adjusted the allocation of the purchase price for certain provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments recorded in this quarter relate to deferred taxes, the fair values of long-term borrowings, and foreclosed properties, which resulted in a $5.2 million increase in the preliminary goodwill recognized during the second quarter of 2024.

At September 30, 2024, LHFI totaled $18.3 billion, a decrease of $9.9 million or 0.2% (annualized) from June 30, 2024, and an increase of $3.1 billion or 20.0% from September 30, 2023. LHFI decreased from the prior quarter primarily due to decreases in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio as a result of loan paydowns and lower revolving credit usage, partially offset by increases in the construction and land development loan portfolio as construction projects continued to fund up. The increase from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the American National acquisition. Quarterly average LHFI totaled $18.3 billion, an increase of $165.4 million or 3.6% (annualized) from the prior quarter, and an increase of $3.5 billion or 23.8% (annualized) from September 30, 2023. Quarterly average LHFI increased from the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in the CRE owner occupied, multifamily real estate, and construction and land development loan portfolios, partially offset by a decrease in the CRE non-owner occupied loan portfolio. The increase from the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the American National acquisition, as well as loan growth.

At September 30, 2024, total investments were $3.5 billion, an increase of $41.7 million or 4.7% (annualized) from June 30, 2024, and an increase of $500.2 million or 16.5% from September 30, 2023. The increase compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to the increase in the market value of the AFS securities portfolio, and the increase compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to the American National acquisition. AFS securities totaled $2.6 billion at both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and increased from $2.1 billion at September 30, 2023. Total net unrealized losses on the AFS securities portfolio were $334.5 million at September 30, 2024, compared to $420.7 million at June 30, 2024, and $523.1 million at September 30, 2023. Held to maturity securities are carried at cost and totaled $807.1 million at September 30, 2024, $810.5 million at June 30, 2024, and $843.3 million at September 30, 2023 and had net unrealized losses of $30.3 million at September 30, 2024, $44.0 million at June 30, 2024, and $81.2 million at September 30, 2023.

At September 30, 2024, total deposits were $20.3 billion, an increase of $304.4 million or 6.1% (annualized) from the prior quarter. Average deposits at September 30, 2024 increased from the prior quarter by $140.5 million or 2.8% (annualized). Total deposits at September 30, 2024 increased $3.5 billion or 21.0% from September 30, 2023, and quarterly average deposits at September 30, 2024 increased $3.4 billion or 20.1% from the same period in the prior year. The increase in deposit balances from the prior quarter are primarily due to increases in interest bearing customer deposits and brokered deposits of $325.6 million and $83.2 million, respectively, partially offset by decreases of $104.4 million in demand deposits. The increase from the same period in the prior year is primarily related to the addition of the American National acquired deposits, as well as an increase of $901.5 million in brokered deposits.

At September 30, 2024, total borrowings were $852.2 million, a decrease of $354.6 million from June 30, 2024 and a decrease of $168.5 million from September 30, 2023. At September 30, 2024 average borrowings were $855.3 million, a decrease of $188.0 million from June 30, 2024, and a decrease of $49.9 million from September 30, 2023. The decreases in average borrowings from the prior quarter and the same period in the prior year were primarily due to paydowns of short-term borrowings due to deposit growth.

	__________________________________
(1)	These are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes net interest income (FTE), total revenue (FTE), and total adjusted revenue (FTE), which are used in computing net interest margin (FTE), efficiency ratio (FTE) and adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE), provide valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing the yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest-bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the FTE components.
(2)	These are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible assets and tangible common equity are used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible assets, tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses. The Company believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its ability to grow organically and through business combinations as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.
(3)	These are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that ROTCE is a meaningful supplement to GAAP financial measures and is useful to investors because it measures the performance of a business consistently across time without regard to whether components of the business were acquired or developed internally.
(4)	These are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating measures exclude, as applicable, merger-related costs, strategic cost saving initiatives (principally composed of severance charges related to headcount reductions and charges for exiting leases), FDIC special assessments, legal reserves associated with our previously disclosed settlement with the CFPB, deferred tax asset write-down, gain (loss) on sale of securities, and gain on sale-leaseback transaction. The Company believes these non-GAAP adjusted measures provide investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s operations.
(5)	All ratios at September 30, 2024 are estimates and subject to change pending the Company’s filing of its FR Y9 C. All other periods are presented as filed.
(6)	The adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE) excludes, as applicable, the amortization of intangible assets, merger-related costs, FDIC special assessments, strategic cost saving initiatives (principally composed of severance charges related to headcount reductions and charges for exiting leases), legal reserves associated with our previously disclosed settlement with the CFPB, gain (loss) on sale of securities, and gain on sale-leaseback transaction. This measure is similar to the measure used by the Company when analyzing corporate performance and is also similar to the measure used for incentive compensation. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s operations.
(7)	These are non-GAAP financial measures. Pre-tax pre-provision adjusted earnings excludes, as applicable, the provision for credit losses, which can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period under the CECL methodology, income tax expense, merger-related costs, strategic cost saving initiatives (principally composed of severance charges related to headcount reductions and charges for exiting leases), FDIC special assessments, legal reserves associated with our previously disclosed settlement with the CFPB, gain (loss) on sale of securities, and gain on sale-leaseback transaction. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the Company’s operations.
