BELOIT, WI / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2020 / Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX:BHWB) reported net income of $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2020, a 12% increase over the $2.6 million earned the previous quarter, and a 16% decrease compared to the $3.4 million earned the third quarter of 2019. Fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, was $0.86, an increase of $0.09 as compared to $0.77 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and a decrease of $0.17 as compared to $1.03 earned for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. The third quarter 2020 results produced a Return on Average Equity (ROAE) of 10.64% and a Return on Average Assets (ROAA) of 1.03%.

The earnings increase compared to the most recent quarter was primarily driven by an increase in net revenue from the sale and servicing of residential mortgage loans, which was partially offset by an increase in operating expenses. Net interest income for the quarter increased only slightly compared to the most recent quarter.

The decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of last year reflects an increase in the provision for loan losses, a decrease in net gain on sale of securities and an increase in operating expenses, which were partially offset by growth in net interest income and net revenue from the sale and servicing of residential mortgage loans.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the company reported net income of $7.5 million, a 3% increase over the $7.3 million reported for the first nine months of 2019. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2020 increased by 3% to $2.26 compared to $2.20 for the first nine months of 2019. The Company's results for the first nine months of 2020 produced a return on average assets of 0.95% and a return on average equity of 9.69%.

Total assets of the company increased by $162 million, or 17%, to $1.1 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $963.9 million as of December 31, 2019. Total gross loans increased by $57.2 million, or 9%, and total investment securities increased $80.3 million, or 34%, during the first nine months of 2020. Total Deposits increased by $131.2 million, or 16%, to $960.8 million compared to $829.6 million at the end of 2019.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $9.9 million, unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2020, and up $1.1 million, or 12%, compared to the third quarter of last year. The net interest margin was 3.83% for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to 3.99% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and 3.93% for the third quarter of last year.

The increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter of last year was driven by the overall increase in earning assets and recognition $0.7 million of PPP fees. Balance sheet growth reflects the origination of approximately $84 million of PPP loans, liquidity from other pandemic stimulus programs and an overall influx of deposits. While the increase in overall earning assets added to net interest income, the net interest margin on the assets added was lean, with PPP loans earning 1% and the remaining liquidity being deployed in the investment portfolio, where yields were at historical lows, or held at the Federal Reserve. Despite the deployment of funds into lower interest rate assets the net interest margin held up well at 3.83% for the third quarter of 2020 as recognition of PPP fees offset the effect of the low interest being earned rate on the PPP loans.

Average total loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, equaled $693.4 million, a $7.7 million, or 1%, decrease as compared to the previous quarter, and a $60.2 million, or 10%, increase over the same quarter a year ago. The average total loans for the third quarter and second quarters of 2020 included $84 million and $63 million of average PPP loans, respectively.

Average total deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, equaled $943.8 million, a $25.0 million, or 3% increase over the previous quarter, and a $111.9 million, or 13%, increase over the same quarter a year ago. The increase in average total deposits included PPP funds deposited by borrowers, other stimulus money received by customers and other deposit growth.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, increased by $3.3 million, or 13%, to $28.4 million as compared to $25.1 million for the first nine months of 2019. The net interest margin for the first nine months of 2020 decreased by two basis points to 3.89% compared to 3.91% for the first nine months of 2019. Average total loans for the first nine months of 2020 were $674.5 million, an increase of $74.8 million, or 12%, as compared to $599.7 million for the first nine months of 2019. Average total deposits for the first nine months of 2020 were $901.5 million, an increase of $93.3 million, or 12%, as compared to $808.2 million for the first nine months of 2019. The Federal Reserve's aggressive rate cuts to address the economic fallout from the pandemic resulted in a forty-four basis point decrease in the year to date yield on average earning assets as compared to the first three quarters of 2019. The Company acted swiftly to lower funding costs achieving a forty-four basis point decrease in the cost of deposits and a fifty basis point drop in cost of funds limiting the decrease in the net interest margin to two basis points compared to the first three quarters of 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, totaled $2.6 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2019. The provision for the first nine months of 2020 increased to $5.9 million compared to $1 million for the first nine months of 2019. The increased provision reflects elevated charge-offs in the third quarter of 2020, and uncertainty related to the impact COVID-19 may have on future loan losses. Net charge-offs during the third quarter equaled $2.8 million, bringing the total up to $3.9 million for the first nine months of 2020. The charge-offs in the third quarter included $2.7 million related to one relationship.

Total nonperforming assets, which include troubled debt restructures that were performing in accordance with their modified terms, equaled $11.0 million as of September 30, 2020, as compared to $11.6 million as of June 30, 2020, and $9.1 million at September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2020, the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets equaled 0.97%, as compared to 1.05% at June 30, 2020, and 0.93% at September 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.44% as of September 30, 2020, as compared to 1.43% at June 30, 2020, and 1.28% as of September 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding PPP loans, at September 30, 2020 is 1.64% compared to 1.60% at June 30, 2020. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to 90.8% as of September 30, 2020, as compared to 93.6% at June 30, 2020, and 94.7% at September 30, 2019.

While overall delinquency rates and non-performing asset levels have not increased, management believes that current economic conditions could result in elevated losses in future quarters. Many borrowers have taken advantage of PPP, other stimulus programs, and the loan modifications provided by Blackhawk. Management expects to continue recording elevated provision for loan losses for the rest of the year, and will continue being proactive with borrowers to ensure credit issues are identified and addressed as early as possible, improving the overall probability of repayment.

Blackhawk has provided payment relief to borrowers negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including payment deferrals, interest only payments and forbearance agreements offering other relief. During the third quarter many of these customers had returned to normal payments, however, some were still under the original or extended modification agreements. The total balance of loans under COVID-related modifications decreased by $45.5 million to $23.2 million as of September 30, 2020 compared to $68.7 million in June 30, 2020. Blackhawk's exposure to borrowers in high risk industries that received a modification and not returned to normal payments as of September 30, 2020 decreased by $39.5 million or 76%, compared to June 30, 2020. The table below summarizes the company's total outstanding balance and modified loan balance by industry code. The balances in the tables exclude loans originated under PPP, which are 100% guaranteed by the SBA:

Non-Interest Income and Operating Expenses

Non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, totaled $5.7 million, a $0.8 million increase compared to $4.9 million the prior quarter, and a $1.0 million increase over the $4.6 million recorded in the third quarter of 2019. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2020 includes increases of $0.2 million in net gain on sale of loans, $0.4 million in net loan servicing income and $0.1 million in deposit service charges. The increase compared to the third quarter of 2019 includes a $2.1 million increase in net gain on sale of loans, which was offset by a $0.3 million decrease in deposit service fees and an $0.9 million decrease in net gains on the sale of securities.

Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2020 increased $2.5 million, or 22%, to $13.8 million as compared to $11.3 million for the first nine months of 2019, including a $4.6 million increase in gain on sale of loans. This increase was offset by $0.5 million decrease in deposit service charges, a $0.5 million decrease in loan servicing income and a $1.1 million decrease in gain on sale of securities.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, totaled $9.3 million, increasing by $0.3 million, or 4%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and increasing by $0.8 million, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increases compared to the third quarter of 2019 were driven primarily by the variable compensation related to increased mortgage loan originations.

Operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, totaled $26.8 million, a $0.7 million, or 3%, increase over the first nine month of 2019. The 2019 results included $2 million of nonrecurring acquisition related expenses. Excluding these expenses, operating expenses would have increased by $2.7 million, or 11%, over the first nine months of last year. The increase reflects operating the three acquired locations for the full nine months, versus only seven months in the first nine months of 2019, and the increased variable compensation related to the mortgage banking activity.

Share Repurchase Program

At its meeting on October 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, under which the Company may repurchase up to 200,000 shares of its outstanding common stock.

According to Todd James, Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc.'s President and CEO, "the stock repurchase program announced today is part of an overall plan to balance the use of Company resources to support all of its stakeholders. As we manage through these unprecedented times, Blackhawk has been and will continue supporting its customers, communities and employees that are negatively affected by COVID-19. This repurchase plan was adopted to extend similar support to our shareholders. While the number of shares authorized to be repurchased is relatively low, it demonstrates our confidence in the strength of our Company and will provide some level of liquidity for shareholders at a time when other alternatives may not be readily available," added James.

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may purchase, from time to time, on the open market or otherwise, shares of common stock of the Company in such quantities, at such prices, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Company's management team may deem appropriate, so long as the aggregate number of shares of common stock repurchased shall not exceed 200,000. Unless extended by the Board, the repurchase program will terminate on the twelve-month anniversary of its adoption.

The extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including market conditions, capital requirements and other corporate considerations, as determined by the Company's management team. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company expects to finance the purchases with existing cash balances.

Outlook

The outlook for Blackhawk as well as the entire banking industry is clouded by uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Blackhawk believes there is risk of elevated credit losses in future quarters as the economic impact of the crisis plays out, and will continue taking steps to increase revenue, implement government stimulus programs and work with credit customers to offset and mitigate losses to the extent possible. Management believes the Company's financial position is strong and it has ample resources to withstand a potentially severe and protracted recession. In addition to responding to this crisis, Blackhawk will continue to pursue creditworthy and profitable business and consumer relationships in its Wisconsin and Illinois markets, emphasizing the value of its personal attention and service that remains unmatched by larger competitors. In addition to organic growth opportunities, Blackhawk may also pursue growth through selective acquisitions. Ability to grow or maintain profitability may be affected by uncertain economic conditions, competitive pressures, changes in regulatory burden and the interest rate environment.

(1) Non-GAAP Presentations: Management discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure the Company's performance, including the presentation of the net interest margin and efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis ("TE"). The net interest margin ratio is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding comparative balance sheet profitability.

(2) The efficiency ratio is calculated as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on a TE basis, noninterest income less any securities gains (losses) or other gains (losses), and also includes a TE adjustment on the increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.

(1) Non-GAAP Presentations: Management discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure the Company's performance, including the presentation of net interest income, net interest margin and efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis ("TE"). The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a TE basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding comparative balance sheet profitability.

(2) The efficiency ratio is calculated as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income on an TE basis, noninterest income less any securities gains (losses) or other gains (losses), and also includes a TE adjustment on interest on tax-exempt securities, loans, and the increases in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.
