Insights

The reported net income increase of 86.1% for Axos Financial, Inc. is a substantial growth figure, particularly in the context of the banking industry where margins are often squeezed by competition and regulatory costs. The diluted earnings per share (EPS) increase of 94.1% is also significant, as it indicates not only profitability but also efficiency in earnings relative to share count. The non-GAAP adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS reveal a more modest growth, which suggests that the extraordinary gain from the FDIC Loan Purchase played a considerable role in the reported figures.

Investors should note the net interest income growth of 14.4%, which is a healthy sign of expanding business operations. However, the non-interest income's surge by 338.2% is primarily due to the one-time gain from the FDIC Loan Purchase, which is not a recurring source of income. The provision for credit losses has increased, which could indicate a conservative approach to potential future loan defaults, a prudent move in uncertain economic times.

The share repurchase program, which reduced outstanding shares, can be seen as a positive signal of management's confidence in the company's value, potentially leading to higher EPS in future quarters. However, investors should consider the sustainability of the growth rate and the impact of non-recurring gains on the company's financial health.

The loan and deposit growth reported by Axos Financial, Inc. are key indicators of the company's market position and competitiveness. The 22.0% annualized growth in net loans for investment and the 12.6% annualized increase in total deposits suggest strong customer acquisition and retention. This could be attributed to Axos' digital banking model, which may offer a competitive advantage over traditional brick-and-mortar banks.

The acquisition of loan pools from the FDIC at 63% of par value, resulting in a $65 million after-tax gain, demonstrates Axos' strategic opportunism. It also reflects the company's ability to manage and integrate sizable loan portfolios, which could be a critical factor for future growth. The increase in the allowance for credit losses post-FDIC Loan Purchase indicates a cautious stance towards newly acquired assets.

With 90% of total deposits being FDIC-insured or collateralized, the company mitigates risk and reassures stakeholders about the safety of their deposits. The net annualized charge-offs to average loans decreasing to 0.02% is an excellent indicator of credit quality and effective risk management. These factors, combined with a strong capital to risk-weighted assets ratio, suggest robust financial health and resilience.

The Federal Reserve's interest rate policies have a direct impact on banks like Axos Financial, Inc., particularly on their net interest margins (NIM). The reported NIM of 4.55%, up from 4.49%, indicates that Axos has effectively navigated the interest rate environment, likely through strategic asset-liability management. The increase in book value per share by 22.6% is a positive indicator of the company's intrinsic value growth over time.

However, the broader economic context, including potential regulatory changes, inflation and interest rate hikes, could affect future profitability. The bank's performance must be evaluated against macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth, unemployment rates and consumer confidence, as these will influence loan demand and default rates.

The stock repurchase program, while immediately accretive to EPS, should be analyzed in the context of the company's long-term capital allocation strategy. It is essential to assess whether these funds could have been deployed towards further growth opportunities or retained as a buffer against potential economic downturns.

For the six months ended December 31, 2023, net income was $234.4 million, an increase of 67.5% from net income of $140.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $3.98 for the six months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.67, or 72.3%, as compared to diluted earnings per share of $2.31 for the six months ended December 31, 2022.

“Our record second quarter earnings were driven by strong organic loan and deposit growth, further net interest margin expansion, disciplined expense management and a gain associated with an opportunistic loan purchase from the FDIC,” stated Greg Garrabrants, President and Chief Executive Officer of Axos. “Excluding the one-time gain and the provision for credit losses associated with the FDIC Loan Purchase, diluted EPS was up 15.7% year-over-year. Our strong returns, margins and excess capital provide us with flexibility to allocate capital to opportunities where we see the best risk-adjusted returns.”

“Our credit quality remains resilient, with annualized net charge-offs to average loans declining by 3 basis points year-over-year to 0.02% in the quarter ended December 31, 2023,” stated Derrick Walsh, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Axos. “Our provision for credit losses was $13.5 million this quarter to account for our strong organic loan growth and the FDIC loan purchase. Additionally, we added approximately $75 million of allowance for credit losses for the FDIC loans we purchased, bringing our total allowance for credit losses to 1.33% of total loans held for investment.”

Other Highlights

  • Net interest margin was 4.55% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to 4.49% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022
  • Net loans for investment totaled $18.3 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.8 billion, or 22.0% annualized, from $16.5 billion at June 30, 2023
  • Total deposits were $18.2 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 12.6% annualized, from $17.1 billion at June 30, 2023
  • Completed the purchase from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) of two performing commercial real estate and multi-family loan pools with a combined unpaid principal balance of approximately $1.25 billion at 63% of par value (the “FDIC Loan Purchase”), and recognized a $65 million after-tax gain on the purchase in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 while increasing the allowance for credit losses by $75 million
  • Approximately 90% of total deposits were FDIC-insured or collateralized at December 31, 2023

Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Income Statement Summary

Net income was $151.8 million and earnings per diluted common share was $2.62 for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to net income of $81.6 million and earnings per diluted common share of $1.35 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Net interest income increased $28.7 million or 14.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest income from loans attributable to higher rates earned and higher average balances, partially offset by higher rates paid and higher average interest-bearing deposit balances.

The provision for credit losses was $13.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was primarily due to loan growth in the Commercial & Industrial - Non-RE portfolio and the loans acquired in the FDIC Loan Purchase.

Non-interest income increased to $124.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $28.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $92.4 million pre-tax gain on the FDIC Loan Purchase and an increase in broker-dealer fee income.

Non-interest expense, comprised of various operating expenses, increased $13.8 million to $121.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 from $108.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and related costs, data and operational processing expense and broker-dealer clearing charges.

Balance Sheet Summary

Axos’ total assets increased by $1.3 billion, or 6.3%, to $21.6 billion, at December 31, 2023, from $20.3 billion at June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase of $1.8 billion in loans, partially offset by a decrease in cash of $0.6 billion. Total liabilities increased by $1.1 billion, or 6.0%, to $19.5 billion at December 31, 2023, from $18.4 billion at June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase of $1.1 billion in deposits. Stockholders’ equity increased by approximately $0.2 billion, or 8.4%, to $2.1 billion at December 31, 2023 from $1.9 billion at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily the result of net income of $234.4 million, partially offset by purchases of common stock of $83.2 million under the share repurchase program.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), this release includes non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per diluted common share, and tangible book value per common share. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious as to their reliance on such measures. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for GAAP basis financial measures.

We define “adjusted earnings”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income without the after-tax impact of non-recurring acquisition-related items (including amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions) and other costs (unusual or non-recurring charges). Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing non-GAAP adjusted earnings by the average number of diluted common shares outstanding during the period. We believe the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings and Adjusted EPS provide useful information about Axos’ operating performance. We believe excluding the non-recurring acquisition-related costs, and other costs provides investors with an alternative understanding of Axos’ core business.

Below is a reconciliation of net income, the nearest compatible GAAP measure, to adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) for the periods shown:

We define “tangible book value”, a non-GAAP financial measure, as book value adjusted for goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated using common stockholders’ equity minus servicing rights, goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. We believe tangible book value per common share is useful in evaluating the Company’s capital strength, financial condition, and ability to manage potential losses.
