Insights

The Q4 2024 results reveal a complex narrative of recovery and strategic positioning. The 50% QoQ improvement in net income to $8.3 million demonstrates resilience, particularly noteworthy given the continued drag from the Justice Entities relationship.

Three critical developments warrant attention:

The $28.9 million curtailment payment from the Justice Entities represents meaningful progress in addressing the bank's largest credit concern. This reduced nonperforming loans to 7.15% of total portfolio loans, though still elevated compared to industry averages.
Strong deposit growth of 6.7% annualized enabled a $20 million reduction in costlier FHLB borrowings, demonstrating effective liability management. The liability-sensitive balance sheet positions the bank favorably for potential further rate cuts.
The efficiency ratio deterioration to 83.6% from 80.2% QoQ signals cost management challenges, though partly attributed to one-time brand refresh expenses.

The bank's strategic expansion into Winston-Salem and Mooresville through branch acquisitions represents a calculated growth initiative, potentially yielding operational leverage in key North Carolina markets. The 81.6% FDIC-insured deposit base provides stability, though the 18.4% uninsured portion requires monitoring.

The resolution of the Justice Entities exposure remains pivotal - while curtailment payments are positive, the $252 million remaining balance and $30.3 million in specific reserves continue to constrain earnings potential and capital deployment options.

MARTINSVILLE, VA / ACCESS Newswire / January 23, 2025 / Carter Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:CARE), the holding company of Carter Bank (the "Bank") today announced quarterly net income of $8.3 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $5.6 million, or $0.24 diluted EPS, for the third quarter of 2024 and a net loss of $1.9 million, or $(0.08) per share, for the fourth quarter of 2023. Pre-tax pre-provision income¹ was $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, net income was $24.5 million, or $1.06 diluted EPS, compared to $23.4 million, or $1.00 diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2023. Pre-tax pre-provision income¹ was $25.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $35.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company's financial results continue to be significantly impacted by loans in the Bank's Other segment of the Company's loan portfolio, the significant majority of which have been on nonaccrual status since the second quarter of 2023. The Bank's loans to various entities in which James C. Justice, II has an interest (collectively, the "Justice Entities"), remain the Bank's largest credit relationship and comprise the significant majority of the Other segment. Interest income was negatively impacted by $7.9 million and $9.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to these credits being on nonaccrual status. Interest income has been negatively impacted by $65.1 million in the aggregate since placement of these credits on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2023.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights

At December 31, 2024, nonperforming loans declined by $28.4 million to $259.3 million compared to September 30, 2024. Nonperforming loans to total portfolio loans were 7.15% at December 31, 2024, 8.00% at September 30, 2024 and 8.83% at December 31, 2023. The decline in nonperforming loans during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the full year 2024 was primarily due to $28.9 million and $49.9 million, respectively, of curtailment payments made by the Bank's largest nonperforming credit relationship;
The allowance for credit losses to total portfolio loans were 2.09%, 2.25% and 2.77% at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to the updated analysis of the individually evaluated loans, a $15.0 million charge-off related to the Other segment of the loan portfolio in the third quarter of 2024, and $6.6 million of Other segment specific reserves released in connection with $49.9 million curtailment payments made in 2024 in accordance with the Forbearance Agreement currently in place;
Total portfolio loans increased $29.0 million, or 3.2%, on an annualized basis, to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2024 from September 30, 2024 and increased $118.9 million, or 3.4% from December 31, 2023;
Total deposits increased $68.4 million, or 6.7% on an annualized basis, compared to September 30, 2024 and increased $431.5 million, or 11.6%, compared to December 31, 2023;
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings decreased $20.0 million to $70.0 million at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024 primarily due to deposit growth;
Net interest income totaled $29.1 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 1.2% compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $1.7 million, or 6.3% compared to the year ago quarter. Net interest income was positively impacted by the recent short-term interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis³, decreased one basis point to 2.58% for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to 2.59% for the prior quarter and increased nine basis points from the year ago quarter. Net interest income and net interest margin continue to be significantly impacted by the Bank's largest lending relationship remaining on nonaccrual status since the second quarter of 2023; and
The efficiency ratio was 83.6%, 80.2% and 94.8%, and the adjusted efficiency ratio (Non-GAAP)⁴ was 82.8%, 80.7%, and 88.5% for the quarters ended December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The efficiency ratio was impacted primarily by the Bank's largest lending relationship that was placed in nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2023.

"The Bank produced a strong fourth quarter on multiple fronts. We launched a brand refresh, celebrated our 50^th anniversary, and announced the acquisition of two branches in Winston-Salem and Mooresville, North Carolina from another financial institution. This branch transaction strengthens our presence in North Carolina and further expands our footprint between Greensboro and Charlotte. We believe this as a crucial step toward optimizing our operations in Winston-Salem because it gives us an immediate presence in the market, and we are gaining further market share in Mooresville. We believe that the transaction will improve our profitability and deliver positive returns to our shareholders," stated Litz H. Van Dyke, Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Van Dyke further commented, "We continue to feel positive about the fundamentals of the Company and the structure of our balance sheet. Capital and liquidity levels continue to be strong, and loan production was solid in the fourth quarter, although much of this production was construction lending which has a lag time before it is fully funded and earning interest. Our loan production pipeline also remains strong. Deposit growth is occurring in most categories, with the majority of growth coming from increases in interest checking and CD accounts. Our cost of funds declined in the fourth quarter as a result of the recent Federal Reserve rate cuts in the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Our balance sheet is slightly liability sensitive and is well positioned so that further declines in interest rates should continue to positively benefit our net interest margin. We also expect that our net interest margin will return to a more normalized level once the large nonperforming lending relationship is fully resolved."

Van Dyke continued, "Although our large nonperforming credit relationship continues to have a negative impact on our financial and credit metrics, aside from this impact, our fundamentals, financial performance, and asset quality metrics all remain solid. We are committed to resolving this lending relationship in a manner that best protects the Company, the Bank, and shareholders. We believe we are well positioned for a strong 2025."

Operating Highlights

Credit Quality

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total portfolio loans were 7.15%,8.00% and 8.83% at December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2024, nonperforming loans decreased $28.4 million to $259.3 million since September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to $28.9 million of curtailment payments made by the Bank's largest nonperforming lending relationship during the fourth quarter of 2024.

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company placed commercial loans in the Other segment of the Company's loan portfolio relating to the Bank's largest lending relationship on nonaccrual status due to loan maturities and failure to pay in full. This nonperforming relationship represents 97.2% of total nonperforming loans and 7.0% of total portfolio loans at December 31, 2024.

During the second, third and fourth quarters of 2024, $7.8 million, $13.2 million and $28.9 million of curtailments, respectively, have decreased the aggregate nonperforming loan balance outstanding to the Bank from $301.9 million at March 31, 2024 to $252.0 million at December 31, 2024. The Company continues to believe it is well secured based on the net carrying value of the credit relationship and it has appropriately reserved for potential credit losses with respect to all such loans based on information currently available. However, the Company cannot give any assurance as to the timing or amount of future payments or collections on such loans or that the Company will ultimately collect all amounts contractually due under the terms of such loans.

The Company has specific reserves of $30.3 million at December 31, 2024 with respect to such loans as compared to $36.9 million at September 30, 2024. The decline was driven by the aforementioned curtailments, updated analysis of the credit relationship during the fourth quarter of 2024 using the discounted cash flow model with updated assumptions and inputs regarding the credit relationship, legal risk and related risks. The updated analysis and the impact on the specific reserves significantly contributed to the $(5.1) million (recovery) provision for credit losses during the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior quarter.

The (recovery) provision for credit losses decreased $4.7 million and $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023, respectively. The decrease in the (recovery) provision for credit losses as compared to the third quarter of 2024 was primarily driven by the updated analysis of the individually evaluated loans and Other segment reserves released due to the aforementioned $28.9 million of curtailment payments during the fourth quarter of 2024, offset by loan growth in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The provision for unfunded commitments in the fourth quarter of 2024 was a provision of $81 thousand compared to a provision of $191 thousand in the third quarter of 2024 and a provision of $587 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decline was due to decreased commitments in construction loans during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased $0.4 million to $29.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 and increased $1.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Net interest income was positively impacted by the recent short-term interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Net interest margin, on a FTE basis³, decreased one basis point to 2.58% compared to the third quarter of 2024, but increased nine basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in net interest income, as compared to September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an 11 basis point decline in funding costs, offset by a nine basis point decrease in the yield on average assets from 5.08% in the third quarter of 2024 to 4.99% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Total interest-bearing deposit costs decreased four basis points to 3.01% compared to 3.05% in the third quarter of 2024, but average total borrowings declined 73 basis points to 4.27% compared to 5.00% in the third quarter of 2024. The lower interest-bearing funding costs were positively impacted by the Federal Reserve's cut of short-term interest rates by 100 basis points beginning in September 2024. Total average borrowings also decreased $99.5 million to $82.0 million compared to $181.5 million in the third quarter of 2024 due to higher average deposit balances.

The yield on total interest-earning assets decreased nine basis points to 4.99% compared to 5.08% in the third quarter of 2024 as a result of the recent Federal Reserve short-term interest rate cuts since 25% of the loan portfolio and 44% of the securities portfolio, which are both floating rate and reprice downward immediately when short-term interest rates decline.

Net interest income decreased $7.9 million, or 6.4%, to $114.5 million for the full year December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, reflecting the impact of higher funding costs during 2024 which more than offset loan growth and higher loan and securities yields. Funding costs increased 83 basis points, offset by an increase of 39 basis points on the yield on interest- earning assets for the full year December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Net interest margin, on an FTE basis³, decreased 29 basis points to 2.58% for the full year December 31, 2024 compared to 2.87% for the same period in 2023.

The declines in net interest income and net interest margin were also significantly driven by the aforementioned large nonperforming lending relationship, which negatively impacted interest income by $35.1 million for the full year December 31, 2024 as compared to $30.0 million for the same period in 2023. During the full year December 31, 2024, $1.2 billion of CDs matured and repriced from an average rate of 3.91% to an average rate of 4.02%.

Our balance sheet is currently exhibiting characteristics of a slightly liability sensitive position due to the short-term nature of our deposit portfolio and FHLB borrowings. Specifically, 80.3% of our CD portfolio and 35.7% of our outstanding FHLB borrowings will mature and reprice over the next twelve months. This strategy gives us flexibility to manage the structure and pricing of our deposit and borrowing portfolios to reduce future funding costs should the Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") continue cutting short-term rates in the future.

Noninterest Income

For the fourth quarter of 2024, total noninterest income was flat at $5.4 million from the third quarter of 2024 and increased $2.1 million, or 65.4%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year 2024, total noninterest income was $21.4 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 16.9%, from the same period in 2023.

The decrease of $0.1 million in noninterest income compared to the third quarter of 2024 primarily related to a decrease of $0.1 million in other noninterest income related to an unrealized loss of $0.3 million on the community development fund due to the decline in market value, offset by a $0.1 million increase in the fair value adjustment of our interest rate swap contracts with commercial customers in the fourth of 2024.

The increases compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and the full year 2023 were primarily due to net losses on sales of securities of $1.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 and higher insurance commissions in the current period.

Noninterest Expense

For the fourth quarter of 2024, total noninterest expense increased $1.4 million, or 5.2% to $28.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2024 and decreased $0.2 million from the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year 2024, total noninterest expense was $110.0 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 4.3%, from the same period in 2023.

As compared to the third quarter of 2024, the most significant increase was $0.5 million in advertising expenses due to the Company launching its new brand refresh in the fourth quarter of 2024. Other variances during the quarter included increases in salaries and employee benefits, other noninterest expense, professional and legal fees, occupancy expenses and data processing expenses.

Total noninterest expense decreased $0.2 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 due to similar significant variances during the fourth quarter of 2024, as discussed above. However, professional and legal fees and other noninterest expense decreased from the prior year ago quarter. Professional and legal fees decreased by $0.8 million primarily due to higher expenses incurred related to the large nonperforming lending relationship in 2023 than in 2024 and consulting engagements in the fourth quarter of 2023 that were not repeated during 2024. The decline in other noninterest expense related to a $0.2 million write-down on one branch transferred to OREO and marketed for sale during the fourth quarter of 2023 and a $0.3 million decrease in fair value due to our interest rate swap contracts with commercial customers. Also impacting the decrease compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was a $0.8 million decline in FDIC insurance expense as a direct result of the reduced balance of the aforementioned large nonperforming lending relationship.

The most significant increases for the full year 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, included an increase of $2.1 million in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $1.6 million in occupancy expenses, net, an increase of $1.3 million in FDIC insurance expense, an increase of $1.0 million in data processing expenses and an increase of $0.8 million in advertising expenses related to our new brand refresh initiative in the fourth quarter of 2024. Partially offsetting these increases was a $2.1 million decline in other noninterest expenses related to the write-downs on OREO properties mentioned above in the fourth quarter of 2023, but also includes a gain of $0.2 million on an OREO property sold in the fourth quarter of 2024, a $0.5 million gain on a closed office that was sold in the third quarter of 2024, a gain of $0.3 million on two other closed offices sold in the first quarter of 2024, write-downs of $0.6 million on three legacy other real estate owned ("OREO") properties and write-downs of $0.2 million on two additional closed offices in the third quarter of 2023. The increases in salaries and employee benefits resulted from higher salary expenses due to fewer open positions in retail, job grade assessment increases and normal merit increases. The increase in occupancy expenses was due to new software license and depreciation expense, and the increase in data processing expenses relates primarily to general inflationary cost increases for existing and new service agreements.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $45.8 million, to $4.7 billion at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024. Cash and due from banks increased $26.2 million to $131.2 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $105.0 million at September 30, 2024. The available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased $24.2 million and is currently 15.4% of total assets at December 31, 2024 compared to 16.1% of total assets at September 30, 2024. The decrease is due to maturities deployed into higher yielding loan assets during the three months ended December 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company purchased an additional $5.0 million of equity securities with carrying value totaling $10.0 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $5.2 million at September 30, 2024.

Total portfolio loans increased $29.0 million, or 3.2%, on an annualized basis, to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024. The increase in loans primarily related to growth of $63.4 million in construction loans and an increase of $11.8 million in commercial real estate loans, offset by the aforementioned $28.9 million of curtailment payments and a decrease of $11.0 million in C&I loans compared to September 30, 2024.

Total deposits increased $68.4 million to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024. Deposits increased primarily due to growth in interest-bearing demand accounts of $77.9 million, an increase of $8.0 million in money market accounts, and an increase of $5.6 million in noninterest-bearing demand accounts, offset by a decrease of $17.4 million in savings accounts, and a decrease of $5.7 million in CDs. The Company had $196.1 million brokered CDs at December 31, 2024 and $216.1 million at September 30, 2024.

FHLB borrowings decreased $20.0 million and $323.4 million to $70.0 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $90.0 million at September 30, 2024 and $393.4 million at December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily due to deposit growth. The Company had no outstanding federal funds purchased at December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, approximately 81.6% of our total deposits of $4.2 billion were insured under standard FDIC insurance coverage limits, and approximately 18.4% of our total deposits were uninsured deposits over the standard FDIC insurance coverage limit. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 82.7% of our total deposits of $4.1 billion were insured under standard FDIC insurance coverage limits, and approximately 17.3% of our total deposits were uninsured deposits over the standard FDIC insurance coverage limit.
