BELOIT, WI / ACCESSWIRE / July 18, 2022 / Blackhawk Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX:BHWB), (the "Company") the parent company of Blackhawk Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $3.48 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a 33% increase from the $2.62 million earned the in the preceding quarter, and a 14% decrease compared to the $4.06 million earned during the second quarter of 2021. Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) for the current quarter was $1.21, an increase of $0.29, or 32%, compared to the preceding quarter, and a $0.09 decrease, or 7%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The second quarter of 2022 results yielded a Return on Average Equity (ROAE) of 16.75% and a Return on Average Assets (ROAA) of 1.02%.

The increase in earnings during the current quarter, compared to the linked quarter, included a $1.50 million credit to the provision for loan losses. This was partially offset by a one-time charge totaling $1.27 million related to the previously announced branch closures.

The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the second quarter of the prior year, included a $981,000 decrease in income from the sale and servicing of mortgage loans and a $1.8 million increase in operating expenses (including the $1.27 million one-time charge related to branch closures), which was partially offset by the $1.50 million credit to the provision for loan losses.

"The second quarter results reflected continued robust loan growth," said Todd James, Chairman and CEO. "We outpaced the first quarter's growth and continued to fund it with our low-cost deposit base. The strong loan growth combined with the repricing of our variable rate loans due to the recent Fed moves contributed to net interest margin expansion during the quarter. We remain cautiously optimistic for loan growth for the rest of the year, as rising interest rates and inflation concerns has the potential to slow things down."

"We continue to optimize our banking footprint and look for ways to improve operating efficiencies," said James. "In this regard, we announced the closure of two branches and recorded a $1.27 million charge during the current quarter in connection with the pending closures. Excluding this one-time charge, operating expenses were down 2% compared to the prior quarter. We anticipate efficiency improvements in future quarters as a result of this consolidation."

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights (at or for the three months ended June 30, 2022)

• Net income was $3.48 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to $4.06 million, or $1.30 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021.

• Annualized return on average equity was 16.75%, compared to 15.74% in the second quarter a year ago.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income totaled $10.54 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $884,000, or 9%, compared to the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $377,000, or 4%, compared to the second quarter of the prior year. The benefit to net interest income from the recognition of PPP loan fees decreased to $280,000 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $539,000 the preceding quarter and $1.10 million the second quarter of 2021. As of June 30, 2022, only $85,000 of net deferred PPP fee income remains to be recognized in future periods. Interest income also benefitted from the repricing of variable rate loans due to the Fed interest rate increases in March and June.

The Company's net interest margin was 3.31% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 3.13% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and 3.37% for the second quarter of 2021. "Strong loan growth and recent short-term rate interest increases by the Federal Reserve have led to improved loan yields and net interest margin," said James. "We are well positioned to capitalize on additional loan growth opportunities and to benefit from expected future interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve."

The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets increased by 19 basis points to 3.51% for the second quarter of 2022, from the first quarter of 2022, and the cost of deposits increased by one basis point for the second quarter of 2022, from the first quarter of 2022. Tax-equivalent yield on earning assets dropped seven basis points compared to 3.58% for the second quarter of 2021, and the cost of deposits decreased three basis points compared to 0.15% for the second quarter of 2021.

Average total deposits for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $85.5 million to $1.23 billion compared to $1.19 billion in the second quarter of 2021. Average total loans for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $52.7 million, or 8%, compared to the prior year's second quarter. Excluding PPP loans, average total loans increased by $49.7 million, or 7%, to $747.4 million compared to $697.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and increased $126.2 million, or 20%, compared to $621.3 million for the second quarter of 2021.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $315,000 to $20.20 million compared to $19.88 million for the first half of 2021. The benefit to net interest income from recognition of PPP loan fees decreased to $819,000 for the first half of 2022 compared to $1.89 million the first half of the prior year. For the first six months of 2022, the company's net interest margin was 3.22%, compared to 3.44% for the same period in the prior year. The tax-equivalent yield on earning assets decreased by 24 basis points to 3.41% for the first six months of 2022, compared to 3.65% the first six months of 2021. The cost of deposits decreased by three basis points to 0.12% compared to the first six months of 2021.

Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

Primarily due to the reduction in risk of potential losses associated with the pandemic, along with the overall quality of the loan portfolio, the Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $1.50 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This compared to no provision for loan losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2021.

Total nonperforming assets, which include troubled debt restructures performing in accordance with their modified terms, equaled $6.0 million as of June 30, 2022, as compared to $6.9 million as of March 31, 2022, and $10.2 million at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2022, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans equaled 0.78%, as compared to 0.93% at March 31, 2022, and 1.50% at June 30, 2021.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.22% at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.51% at March 31, 2022, and 1.66% at June 30, 2021. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to 157.3% at June 30, 2022, compared to 162.0% at March 31, 2022, and 110.2% at June 30, 2021.

Noninterest Income and Operating Expenses

Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, totaled $3.82 million, a $98,000 decrease compared to $3.92 million from the prior quarter and a $872,000 decrease from the $4.69 million recorded in the second quarter of 2021. The net revenue from the sale and servicing of mortgage loans decreased $276,000 and debit card interchange fees increased $86,000 compared to the first quarter of 2022. The decline in noninterest income compared to the second quarter of 2021 was primarily due to a $981,000 decrease in revenue from the sale and servicing of mortgage loans, which was partially offset by a $305,000 increase in deposit service fees.

Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $7.74 million, a $1.99 million decrease compared to the $9.73 million for the same period in the prior year. The net revenue from the sale and servicing of mortgages decreased by $2.16 million. This was partially offset by a $528,000 increase in deposit service fees during the same period.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, totaled $11.25 million, an increase of $1.08 million, or 11%, compared to the first quarter of 2022, and an increase of $1.79 million, or 19%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase compared to both the prior quarter and the year ago quarter was primarily due to one-time charges of $1.27 million that were incurred during the second quarter of 2022 relating to the branch closures. Excluding these one-time charges, operating expenses would have been $9.98 million, or 2% less than the prior quarter and 5% greater than the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $21.43 million, a $2.25 million, or 12%, increase compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding the aforementioned one-time charges, operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 would have been $20.15 million, a $975,000, or 5% increase over the same period in 2021. The increase includes a $801,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits.

The efficiency ratio, excluding the one-time charges, was 68.96% for the second quarter of 2022. This compared to 74.35% for the preceding quarter and 63.28% for the second quarter a year ago.

Capital

Tangible book value per share was $23.91 at June 30, 2022, compared to $26.58 at March 31, 2022 and $30.81 at June 30, 2021. The decrease in tangible book value per share during the current quarter was primarily due to a $10.41 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") related primarily to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities reflecting the increase in interest rates during the current quarter. Excluding AOCI, tangible book value per share was $32.42 at June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.15 and $3.86 compared to March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

(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.
