Insights

Financial Analyst

Strong quarterly performance with $29.8 million net income and $2.02 EPS, demonstrating robust profitability metrics including 1.87% ROA and 20.9% return on tangible equity. Net interest income grew 1.8% quarter-over-quarter to $55.6 million, maintaining a healthy 3.87% net interest margin despite industry pressures.

Credit quality shows some deterioration with nonperforming assets ratio increasing to 0.39% from 0.25%, primarily due to a troubled movie theater loan. However, the overall loan portfolio remains healthy with past due loans at just 0.27%. Strong capital position with 9.3% tangible equity ratio and substantial liquidity with $1.6 billion in additional borrowing capacity.

Notable 10% dividend increase to $0.79 per share signals management's confidence in sustained performance. The bank's core retail focus and conservative deposit mix provide stability, with 60.6% of assets funded by checking and savings accounts.

CHARLESTON, W. Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- City Holding Company (“Company” or “City”) (NASDAQ:CHCO), a $6.4 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, today announced quarterly net income of $29.8 million and diluted earnings of $2.02 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.87% and a return on tangible equity of 20.9%.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income increased approximately $1.0 million, or 1.8%, from $54.6 million during the second quarter of 2024 to $55.6 million during the third quarter of 2024. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income increased $1.0 million, or 1.8%, from $54.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 to $55.8 million for the third quarter of 2024. Due to an increase in the yield on loans (7 basis points) and an increase in average loans outstanding ($41.1 million), net interest income increased $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively. In addition, net interest income increased $0.4 million due to an increase in the average investment balances ($41.5 million). These increases were partially offset by an increase in the cost of interest bearing liabilities (7 basis points) which decreased net interest income by $0.8 million, and lower average deposits in depository institutions balances ($36.5 million) that lowered net interest income by $0.5 million. The Company’s reported net interest margin remained steady at 3.87% for both the second and third quarters of 2024.

Credit Quality

The Company’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned increased from 0.25%, or $10.2 million, at June 30, 2024 to 0.39%, or $16.2 million, at September 30, 2024. Total past due loans increased slightly from $10.9 million, or 0.26% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2024, to $11.3 million, or 0.27% of total loans outstanding at September 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 $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.2 million for the comparable period in 2023, and a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2024. The provision for credit losses in the third quarter was primarily related to a commercial loan for a movie theater that had been originated in September 2014. The loan had paid according to terms but cash flows began deteriorating during the COVID-19 crisis which began in 2020. Due to further operating weaknesses during 2024, the loan was transferred to nonaccrual status and a $2.0 million charge-off was recorded in the quarter ending September 30, 2024, leaving an outstanding balance of approximately $6.7 million. The Company has only one other loan to a movie theater and the outstanding balance of that performing loan is under $5.0 million. This charge-off was partially offset by a $0.75 million reversal of a reserve on a purchase credit deteriorated loan that was paid-off in full during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income was $20.3 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $17.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company reported $0.4 million of unrealized fair value gains on the Company’s equity securities, as compared to $0.7 million of realized security losses during the third quarter of 2023.

Exclusive of these items, non-interest income increased $1.9 million, or 10.3%, from $18.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 to $20.0 million for the third quarter of 2024. This increase was attributable to an increase of $0.6 million (77.8%) in bank owned life insurance (due to death benefit proceeds), an increase of $0.5 million (21.3%) in trust and investment management fee income, an increase of $0.4 million (5.7%) in service fees, and an increase of $0.3 million (4.1%) in bankcard revenues.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $2.6 million, or 7.5%, from $35.0 million in the third quarter of 2023 to $37.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. This increase was largely due to an increase in other expenses of $1.1 million and an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $1.0 million. In addition, equipment and software related expenses increased $0.6 million and advertising expenses increased $0.3 million.

Balance Sheet Trends

Gross loans increased $45.0 million (1.1%) from June 30, 2024 to $4.16 billion at September 30, 2024. Commercial and industrial loans increased $16.1 million (3.9%), commercial real estate loans increased $12.2 million (0.7%), home equity loans increased $10.5 million (5.9%), and residential real estate loans increased $9.3 million (0.5%) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Period-end deposit balances increased $35.4 million, 0.7% from June 30, 2024, to September 30, 2024. Total average depository balances increased $15.5 million, or 0.3%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2024 to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Average time deposit balances increased $49.2 million and were partially offset by decreases in average savings deposit balances of $28.3 million and decreases in average noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances of $6.9 million.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 19.7% compared to 20.1% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 21.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Capitalization and Liquidity

The Company’s gross loan to deposit ratio was 81.5% and its gross loan to asset ratio was 64.6% at September 30, 2024. The Company maintained investment securities totaling 23.2% of assets as of the same date. The Company’s deposit mix is weighted heavily toward checking and saving accounts, which fund 60.6% of assets at September 30, 2024. Time deposits fund 18.7% of assets at September 30, 2024, with only 14.4% of time deposits having balances of more than $250,000, reflecting the core retail orientation of the Company.

City Holding Company is the parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia (“City National”). City National has borrowing facilities with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank that can be accessed as necessary to fund operations and to provide contingency funding. These borrowing facilities are collateralized by various loans held on City National’s balance sheet. As of September 30, 2024, City National had the capacity to borrow an additional $1.6 billion from these existing borrowing facilities. In addition, approximately $765 million of City National’s investment securities were pledged to collateralize customer repurchase agreements and various deposit accounts, leaving approximately $730 million of City National’s investment securities unpledged at September 30, 2024.

The Company continues to be strongly capitalized with tangible equity of $581 million at September 30, 2024. The Company’s tangible equity ratio increased from 8.6% at December 31, 2023 to 9.3% at September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, City National’s Leverage Ratio was 10.2%, its Common Equity Tier I ratio was 16.0%, its Tier I Capital ratio was 16.0%, and its Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 16.5%. These regulatory capital ratios are significantly above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest possible regulatory designation.

On September 25, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.79 per share payable October 31, 2024, to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2023. This represents a 10.0% increase from the $0.715 per share dividend paid on July 31, 2024.

City National operates 97 branches across West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, and Ohio.
