SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (NYSE:CFR) today reported third quarter 2020 results. Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2020 was $95.1 million, compared to $109.8 million for the third quarter of 2019. On a per-share basis, net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2020 was $1.50 per diluted common share, compared to $1.73 per diluted common share reported a year earlier. Returns on average assets and average common equity were 0.96 percent and 9.30 percent, respectively, for the third quarter of 2020 compared to 1.35 percent and 11.83 percent, respectively, for the same period a year earlier.

For the third quarter of 2020, net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $267.0 million, down 3.5 percent compared to the same quarter in 2019. Average loans for the third quarter of 2020 increased $3.7 billion, or 25.4 percent, to $18.1 billion, from the $14.5 billion reported for the third quarter a year earlier. Excluding PPP loans, third quarter average loans of $14.9 billion represented a 3.3 percent increase compared to the third quarter of 2019. Average deposits for the third quarter were $32.9 billion, up $6.5 billion, or 24.8 percent, compared to the $26.4 billion reported for last year's third quarter. 

"Our third quarter results demonstrate our strength and stability despite the challenging environment," said Phil Green, Cullen/Frost Chairman and CEO. "Our dedication to our customers and our commitment to sustainable, organic growth has delivered positive results, and I want to acknowledge the dedication to the Frost philosophy and culture that our people have maintained during what has been a very unusual year."

For the first nine months of 2020, net income available to common shareholders was $235.4 million, down 29.5 percent compared to $333.9 million for the first nine months of 2019. Diluted EPS available to common shareholders for the first nine months of 2020 was $3.71 compared to $5.24 in the year-earlier period. Returns

on average assets and average common equity for the first nine months of 2020 were 0.85 percent and 7.95 percent, respectively, compared to 1.41 percent and 12.79 percent, respectively, for the same period in 2019.

Noted financial data for the third quarter of 2020 follows:

• The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratios at the end of the third quarter of 2020 were 12.71 percent, 12.71 percent and 14.69 percent, respectively, and continue to be in excess of well-capitalized levels and exceed Basel III minimum requirements.

• Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $267.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of 3.5 percent compared to the prior year period. The net interest margin was 2.95 percent for the third quarter of 2020, down 18 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2020 net interest margin of 3.13 percent. Net interest margin decreased 81 basis points compared to 3.76 percent in the year-ago period.

• Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $83.6 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 6.3 percent, from the $89.2 million reported for the third quarter of 2019. Service charges on deposits for the third quarter decreased $3.1 million, or 13.6 percent, compared to the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases in overdraft/insufficient funds charges on consumer and commercial accounts. The decrease in overdraft/insufficient funds charges during the third quarter of 2020 was primarily related to a decrease in the volume of overdrafts relative to the same period in 2019. Other charges, commissions and fees for the third quarter decreased $1.7 million, or 17.2 percent, compared to the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was driven by a decrease in income associated with customer balances placed in third party money market accounts, among other things. Interchange and debit card transaction fees decreased by $614,000, or 14.9 percent, compared to the third quarter a year earlier. Revenue from interchange and debit card transactions was impacted by reduced transaction volumes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Other non-interest income for the third quarter increased $361,000, or 4.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily related to an increase in sundry and other miscellaneous income (up $1.3 million) and public finance underwriting fees (up $833,000) partly offset by a decrease in gains on the sale of foreclosed and other assets (down $1.3 million), among other things.

• Non-interest expense was $202.2 million for the third quarter, down $6.7 million, or 3.2 percent, compared to the $208.9 million reported for the third quarter a year earlier. Other non-interest expense of $38.2 million represented a $6.4 million, or 14.4 percent, decrease compared to the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was driven by decreases in travel, meals and entertainment expense (down $3.1 million); professional services expense (down $1.6 million); and advertising/promotions expense (down $1.2 million), among other things. Employee benefits expense for the third quarter of 2020 decreased $4.9 million, or 23.5 percent, compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease in employee benefits expense was primarily related to a decrease in certain discretionary benefit plan expenses and expenses related to our defined benefit retirement and restoration plans partly offset by increases in medical benefits expense and payroll taxes. Salaries and wages expense was $93.3 million in the third quarter of 2020, down $489,000 or 0.5% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Increases in salaries due to an increase in the number of employees and normal, annual merit and market increases were offset by decreases in incentive compensation, commissions and stock-based compensation. Technology, furniture and equipment expense for the third quarter increased by $4.1 million or 18.1 percent from the third quarter of 2019. The increases were primarily related to increases in cloud services expense (up $2.6 million), depreciation of furniture and equipment (up $1.2 million), software amortization (up $481,000) and software maintenance (up $299,000), partly offset by a $537,000 decrease in service contracts. Third quarter net occupancy expense increased by $1.3 million, or 5.2 percent, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by increases in depreciation on leasehold improvements (up $842,000), property taxes (up $805,000) and building depreciation (up $300,000), among other things, partly offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance/service contracts expense (down $602,000).

• For the third quarter of 2020, credit loss expense related to loans was $23.6 million, compared to net charge-offs of $10.2 million. This compares with $27.2 million in credit loss expense related to loans and $41.0 million in net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2020, and $8.0 million in credit loss expense related to loans and $6.4 million in net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2019. The allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.45 percent at September 30, 2020, compared to 1.39 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2020 and 0.93 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2019. Excluding PPP loans which carry a guarantee from the SBA, the allowance for credit losses on loans as a percentage of total loans was 1.76 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2020. Non-performing assets were $96.4 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020, compared to $85.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2020 and $105.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019. Credit loss expense related to off-balance-sheet exposures was a credit of $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2020.

The Cullen/Frost board declared a fourth-quarter cash dividend of $0.72 per common share, payable December 15, 2020 to shareholders of record on November 30 of this year.
