Insights

Financial/Banking Analyst

Burke & Herbert reports strong Q1 results with 38% EPS growth, launches $50M buyback program while maintaining solid capital ratios and improved margins.

Burke & Herbert delivered a solid first quarter with net income of $27.0 million or EPS of $1.80, representing a substantial 38.5% increase from Q4's $1.30. While headline numbers appear impressive, when adjusting for $8.9 million in merger-related expenses from Q4, the sequential growth is more modest at approximately 1.7% compared to adjusted Q4 EPS of $1.77.

The net interest margin expanded meaningfully to 4.18% from 3.91% in Q4, benefiting from improved asset yields and reduced funding costs. The total deposit cost decreased to 1.99% from 2.17%, enhancing profitability despite the challenging rate environment. This margin improvement is particularly encouraging as it occurred even with slightly lower loan accretion income.

Capital allocation decisions are shareholder-friendly, with the board declaring a $0.55 per share dividend and authorizing a substantial $50 million share repurchase program. At the current market cap of approximately $739 million, this buyback represents nearly 7% of outstanding shares, a significant capital return initiative.

Balance sheet metrics remain robust with liquidity of $4.2 billion and strong regulatory capital ratios – CET1 at 11.7% and total risk-based capital at 14.7%, well above regulatory requirements. While loans declined slightly by $24.7 million to $5.6 billion, management attributed this to strategic pruning of higher-risk assets rather than demand weakness. Meanwhile, deposits grew by $26.6 million to $6.5 billion.

The expense line showed improvement following the completed systems conversion, with non-interest expense decreasing to $49.7 million from an adjusted $52.5 million in Q4, suggesting cost synergies are being realized. With a stable loan-to-deposit ratio of 86.3% and return on equity of 14.57%, the bank is operating efficiently while maintaining conservative risk parameters.

From David P. Boyle, Company Chair and Chief Executive Officer

"I'm pleased with our first quarter results that represent the first full quarter following our merger-related systems conversion. The balance sheet remains strong with ample liquidity, solid capital ratios, and adequate loss reserves.

With this start to 2025, we are well-positioned for disciplined growth that should deliver increased value for our customers, employees, communities, and shareholders."

Results of Operations

First Quarter 2025 compared to Fourth Quarter 2024

The Company reported first quarter 2025 net income applicable to common shares of $27.0 million, or $1.80 per diluted common share, compared to fourth quarter 2024 net income to applicable to common shares of $19.6 million, or $1.30 per diluted common share.

Included in the fourth quarter of 2024 were pre-tax charges of $8.9 million of expenses related to the merger with Summit. Excluding these items from the fourth quarter of 2024 on a tax effected basis, adjusted (non-GAAP¹) operating income was $26.6 million, or $1.77 per diluted common share.

• Period-end total gross loans were $5.6 billion at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $24.7 million from December 31, 2024, primarily due to the exiting of loans that do not align with the Company's desired risk profile.
  
  
• Period-end total deposits were $6.5 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $26.6 million from December 31, 2024 as the Company continues its focus on deposit gathering strategies.
  
  
• Net interest income for the quarter was $73.0 million compared to $70.7 million in the prior quarter due to a decrease in interest expense of $4.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $2.0 million. Lower interest expense was primarily attributable to lower deposit costs and the decrease in interest income was due to lower loan and security interest income. Lower loan interest income was mainly due to lower loan accretion related to purchase accounting treatment.
  
  
• Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP¹) increased to 4.18% versus 3.91% in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in yield from interest earning assets combined with a lower rate on interest-bearing liabilities compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in yield from interest earning assets was slightly offset by lower accelerated loan accretion income when compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
  
  
• Accretion income on loans during the quarter was $11.4 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest expense was $2.2 million, or 12.9 bps of net interest margin, in the first quarter of 2025. In the prior quarter, accretion income on loans during the quarter was $12.0 million, and the amortization expense impact on interest expense was $3.8 million, or 11.4 bps of net interest margin.
  
  
• The cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was 1.99% in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 2.17% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease in the cost of total deposits is due to a decrease in the rate as the balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by $24.1 million.
  
  
• The Company recorded a provision expense on loans in the first quarter of 2025 of $900.0 thousand reflective of economic uncertainty.
  
  
• The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2025, was $67.8 million, or 1.2% of total loans.
  
  
• Total non-interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $10.0 million compared to $11.8 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to a gain on sale of securities and collection of death proceeds from company owned-life insurance which increased non-interest income by $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2025.
  
  
• Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2025 was $49.7 million compared to $52.5 million adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP¹) in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting cost save realizations following the merger-related conversion that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Operating net income is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from net income adjusted for significant items. The Company believes that operating net income is useful in periods with certain significant items such as merger-related expenses or Day 2 non-PCD provision. The operating net income is more reflective of management's ability to grow the business and manage expenses. Adjusted non-interest expense also removes these significant items, such as merger-related expenses. Management believes it represents a more normalized non-interest expense total for periods with identified significant items.

Total revenue is a non-GAAP measure and is derived from total interest income less total interest expense plus total non-interest income. We believe that total revenue is a useful tool to determine how the Company is managing its business and demonstrates how stable our revenue sources are from period to period.

Pretax, pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and to exclude provision for (recapture of) credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength because they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) in stockholders' equity.

The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. FTE net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain financial interest earning assets, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. Management believes FTE net interest income is a standard practice in the banking industry, and when net interest income is adjusted on an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income and this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. FTE net interest income is only used for calculating FTE net interest margin, which is calculated by annualizing FTE net interest income and then dividing by the average earning assets. The tax rate used for this adjustment is 21%. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.

(1) Non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this release are used by management to measure performance in operating the business that management believes enhances investors' ability to better understand the underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the non-GAAP reconciliation tables in this release. Non-GAAP measures should not be used as a substitute for the closest comparable GAAP measurements.

(2) Ratios as of March 31, 2025, are estimated.

(3) Includes Federal Home Loan Bank, Borrower-in-Custody (BIC), and correspondent bank availability.

(4) Weighted average diluted shares for Q2 2024 calculated only for computation of adjusted diluted EPS. Weighted average diluted shares for GAAP diluted EPS are the same as shares for calculating basic EPS due to the antidilutive effect of the diluted shares when considering the GAAP net loss for the quarter.
