Insights

Financial Analyst

The quarterly results of City Holding Company are a mixed bag of minor positive and negative movements. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.96 and a net income of $29.1 million certainly underscore a robust performance. However, the net interest margin (NIM) decreased slightly from 3.95% to 3.87%, which might indicate a tightening interest rate environment affecting profitability. The company's return on assets (ROA) and return on tangible equity (ROTE) are commendable at 1.85% and 22.2%, respectively. These metrics suggest efficient asset utilization and robust equity returns.

Short-term investors might be concerned about the slight dip in non-interest income and the increase in non-interest expenses, which could pressure net earnings. Nevertheless, the solid net income and EPS growth demonstrate a resilient core business. Long-term investors should focus on the steady growth in loans and deposits, indicating potential future revenue streams.

Market Research Analyst

City Holding Company's performance demonstrates strong market positioning in a competitive banking landscape. The increase in deposits and loans reflects customer trust and market expansion. The rise in average depository balances by $101.7 million underscores growing consumer confidence in the bank's services. Meanwhile, the slight increase in the provision for credit losses, driven primarily by residential real estate loans, warrants closer monitoring, indicating potential rising risks in the real estate market.

From a market strategy perspective, the company's robust capital ratios and the ability to meet regulatory requirements reinforce its market confidence and stability. The proactive share repurchase plan is a positive signal, showing the company's commitment to returning value to shareholders. The dividend payments also highlight the company's solid financial health and investment appeal.

Tech Expert

The minimal increase in equipment and software-related expenses suggests that City Holding Company is maintaining its technology investments at a steady pace. For banks, technology investments are important for improving operational efficiency and customer experience. The modest increase of $0.2 million might indicate incremental improvements rather than major technological overhauls. This steady investment in technology can enhance digital banking services, cybersecurity and data analytics capabilities.

Considering the significant role of technology in modern banking, long-term investors should view consistent tech investments positively. These investments can drive future growth by attracting tech-savvy customers and ensuring robust, secure banking operations.

CHARLESTON, W. Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- City Holding Company (“Company” or “City”) (NASDAQ:CHCO), a $6.3 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, today announced quarterly net income of $29.1 million and diluted earnings of $1.96 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the second quarter of 2024, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.85% and a return on tangible equity of 22.2%.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income increased approximately $0.2 million, or 0.4%, from $54.4 million during the first quarter of 2024 to $54.6 million during the second quarter of 2024. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income increased $0.2 million, or 0.4%, from $54.6 million for the first quarter of 2024 to $54.8 million for the second quarter of 2024. Due to an increase in average investment balances ($99.9 million) and an increase in the yield on investments (26 basis points), net interest income increased $1.0 million and $0.9 million respectively. Additionally, an increase in the average balance of deposits in depository institutions ($23.9 million) increased net interest income by $0.3 million and an increase in the yield on loans (2 basis points) increased net interest income by $0.2 million. These increases were largely offset by an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities (16 basis points) and an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities ($118.6 million) which lowered net interest income by $1.5 million and $0.8 million respectively. The Company’s reported net interest margin decreased from 3.95% for the first quarter of 2024 to 3.87% for the second quarter of 2024.

Credit Quality

The Company’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned decreased from 0.28%, or $11.5 million, at March 31, 2024 to 0.25%, or $10.2 million, at June 30, 2024. Total past due loans increased from $6.7 million, or 0.16% of total loans outstanding, at March 31, 2024, to $10.9 million, or 0.26% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2024.

As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2023, and a recovery of credit losses of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter was primarily due to an increase in the loss rate for residential real estate loans.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income was $18.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $20.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company reported $0.4 million of unrealized fair value gains on the Company’s equity securities as compared to $0.3 million of unrealized fair value losses on the Company’s equity securities during the second quarter of 2023.

Exclusive of these items, non-interest income decreased $2.0 million, or 9.9%, from $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 to $18.6 million for the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was largely attributable to a decrease of $2.4 million in bank owned life insurance due to lower death benefit proceeds. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million, or 18.1%, in trust and investment management fee income.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $2.0 million, or 5.8%, from $34.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $36.8 million in the second quarter of 2024. This increase was largely due to an increase in other expenses of $0.9 million and bankcard expenses of $0.6 million. In addition, salaries and employee benefits increased $0.3 million, and equipment and software related expenses increased $0.2 million.

Balance Sheet Trends

Loans increased $21.1 million (0.5%) from March 31, 2024 to $4.11 billion at June 30, 2024. Residential real estate loans increased $10.5 million (0.6%), home equity loans increased $8.3 million (4.9%), and commercial real estate loans increased $2.7 million (0.2%).

Period-end deposit balances increased $11.5 million from March 31, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Total average depository balances increased $101.7 million, or 2.1%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Average time deposits increased $52.0 million, average interest-bearing demand deposits increased $36.5 million, and average noninterest bearing deposits increased $19.1 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.9 million in average savings deposits.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 19.7% compared to 20.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 19.4%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Capitalization and Liquidity

The Company’s gross loan to deposit ratio was 81.2% and its gross loan to asset ratio was 64.9% at June 30, 2024. The Company maintained investment securities totaling 23.5% of assets as of the same date.

The Company continues to be strongly capitalized with tangible equity of $526 million at June 30, 2024.
