Insights

Community Trust Bancorp, Inc.'s (CTBI) recent earnings report indicates a downward trend in net income and earnings per share (EPS) when comparing both sequential quarters and year-over-year figures. The decrease in net interest income and increase in noninterest expenses are key factors contributing to this decline. These financial metrics are crucial as they reflect the company's profitability and operational efficiency, which are of significant interest to shareholders and potential investors.

The efficiency ratio, which measures noninterest expense as a percentage of revenue, has deteriorated, signaling lower efficiency. Additionally, the report reveals a shift in deposit mix, with a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits and an increase in interest-bearing deposits, which could imply a higher cost of funds in a competitive interest rate environment. This shift may affect the bank's net interest margin in future quarters.

CTBI's provision for credit losses has increased year-over-year, which may suggest a more cautious approach to potential loan defaults, reflecting broader economic concerns. The loan portfolio growth is a positive sign, indicating potential future revenue streams, but it also necessitates careful monitoring of loan quality and default risks.

The banking sector is highly sensitive to interest rate changes and CTBI's report showcases the impact of a rising interest rate environment on its net interest margin (NIM). A decline in NIM suggests that the cost of funds is growing faster than the income from earning assets, which could pressure future earnings. Market analysts would note that the increase in loan portfolio suggests growth potential, but it must be balanced against the risk of higher default rates, especially during economic uncertainty.

CTBI's asset quality metrics, such as nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, offer insights into the bank's risk management effectiveness. While there has been a decrease in nonperforming assets year-over-year, the slight uptick in nonperforming loans from the previous quarter requires attention to ensure asset quality remains stable.

The annualized dividend yield of 4.20% is a critical figure for investors seeking income and it remains to be seen how sustainable this yield is in the context of the bank's declining earnings and potential challenges ahead.

The reported figures reflect broader economic trends such as interest rate fluctuations and economic uncertainty. The increase in the bank's provision for credit losses and the changes in deposit types are consistent with a more cautious economic outlook and a response to a potential slowdown. Economists would analyze these indicators in the context of the macroeconomic environment, considering factors such as inflation, unemployment rates and GDP growth, which can influence consumer behavior and loan repayment capabilities.

CTBI's performance can also be seen as a microcosm of the regional banking sector's health, where shifts in asset and loan compositions can signal changes in business and consumer confidence. The bank's ability to navigate these economic headwinds while maintaining asset quality and profitability will be crucial for its long-term sustainability.

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 of $13.7 million was $1.8 million, or 11.4%, below prior quarter but relatively flat to prior year same quarter. The quarter over quarter decrease included a $0.5 million decrease in deposit related fees, a $0.8 million decrease in loan related fees, a $0.3 million decrease in bank owned life insurance revenue, and a $0.2 million decrease in brokerage revenue. A year over year decrease of $0.7 million in loan related fees was primarily offset by increases in trust revenue ($0.4 million) and bank owned life insurance revenue ($0.2 million). The decline in loan related fees resulted from the fluctuation in the fair market value of our mortgage servicing rights. Noninterest income for the year 2023 was $57.7 million compared to $57.9 million for the year 2022. Noninterest income was impacted year over year by a $2.4 million decline in loan related fees, a $1.1 million decline in gains on sales of loans, and a $0.4 million decline in brokerage revenue, offset by increases of $0.9 million in deposit related fees, $0.6 million in trust revenue, $1.2 million in securities gains, and $0.8 million in bank owned life insurance revenue.

Loans outstanding at $4.1 billion increased $65.9 million, an annualized 6.6%, from September 30, 2023 and $341.6 million, or 9.2%, from December 31, 2022. The increase in loans from prior quarter included a $27.2 million increase in the commercial loan portfolio, a $28.9 million increase in the residential loan portfolio, a $11.4 million increase in the indirect consumer loan portfolio, and a $1.6 million decrease in the consumer direct loan portfolio. CTBI’s investment portfolio increased $28.1 million, or an annualized 9.8%, from September 30, 2023 but decreased $91.5 million, or 7.3%, from December 31, 2022. Deposits in other banks increased $62.6 million from prior quarter and $135.2 million from December 31, 2022. Deposits, including repurchase agreements, at $4.9 billion increased $89.4 million, or an annualized 7.3%, from September 30, 2023 and $308.3 million, or 6.6% from December 31, 2022. Due to the increasing and competitive interest rate environment, we have seen a change in our deposit mix year over year with a 9.6% decrease in noninterest bearing deposits and a 13.6% increase in interest bearing deposits and repurchase agreements.

Asset Quality

Our total nonperforming loans increased to $14.0 million at December 31, 2023 from $13.0 million at September 30, 2023 but decreased from $15.3 million at December 31, 2022. Prior year nonperforming loans, as previously reported, exclude troubled debt restructurings which have been eliminated in the current period due to implementation of Accounting Standard Update 2022-02. Accruing loans 90+ days past due at $9.9 million increased $1.9 million from prior quarter and $1.4 million from December 31, 2022. Nonaccrual loans at $4.0 million decreased $0.9 million from prior quarter and $2.8 million from December 31, 2022. Accruing loans 30-89 days past due at $15.3 million increased $3.2 million from prior quarter and were relatively flat to December 31, 2022. Our loan portfolio management processes focus on the immediate identification, management, and resolution of problem loans to maximize recovery and minimize loss.

Our level of foreclosed properties was $1.6 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $2.2 million at September 30, 2023 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2022. Sales of foreclosed properties for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 totaled $0.7 million while new foreclosed properties totaled $0.2 million.

We had net loan charge-offs of $1.0 million, or 0.10% of average loans annualized, for the fourth quarter 2023 compared to $1.2 million, or 0.12% of average loans annualized, for the third quarter 2023 and a net recovery of loan charge-offs of $9 thousand for the fourth quarter 2022. Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $3.2 million, or 0.08% of average loans annualized compared to $0.7 million, or 0.02% of average loans annualized, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our provision for credit losses for the quarter decreased $0.1 million from prior quarter but increased $0.3 million from prior year same quarter. Provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $1.9 million from the year ended December 31, 2022. Our reserve coverage (allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans) at December 31, 2023 was 354.7% compared to 375.2% at September 30, 2023 and 300.4% at December 31, 2022. Our credit loss reserve as a percentage of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2023 remained at 1.22% from September 30, 2023 down from the 1.24% at December 31, 2022.
