"Our successful acquisition and integration of Community First was transformational for our organization.  We delivered exceptional value to our stakeholders, advanced key initiatives, and positioned ourselves for sustained growth in the years ahead.  As we move forward, we remain committed to executing our strategy, fostering innovation, and delivering meaningful results for our customers and shareholders, while continuing to focus on building and nurturing strong relationships within our communities.

Q4 2024 Earnings Performance

Dogwood reported GAAP net income in Q4 2024 of $6.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $2.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in Q4 2023.  Current quarter GAAP earnings were negatively impacted by merger & acquisition expenses of $595 thousand related to the acquisition of Community First.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) in Q4 2024, which excludes the impact of merger & acquisition expenses, increased to $6.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, from $2.9 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in Q4 2023.  Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue (non-GAAP) in Q4 2024 was $9.7 million, an increase from $5.5 million in Q4 2023.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $21.1 million in Q4 2024, an increase from $11.9 million in Q4 2023.  The increase was primarily due to significant growth in interest-earning assets over the past year, including an increase in assets from the Community First acquisition, and an expansion in net interest margin.

Total average interest-earning assets increased to $2.04 billion in Q4 2024 from $1.27 billion in Q4 2023. Average loans increased by $749.8 million.  Average investment securities balances increased by $50.8 million.

Net interest margin expanded to 4.13% in Q4 2024 from 3.43% in Q4 2023.  Higher yields on interest-earning assets coupled with a more favorable mix of those assets contributed to the improved net interest margin.

Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

Provision for credit losses was $1.1 million in Q4 2024, a decrease from $1.6 million in Q4 2023.  The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.08% as of Q4 2024, compared to 1.09% as of both Q3 2024 and Q4 2023.

Nonperforming loans were 0.33% of total loans as of Q4 2024, compared to 0.18% as of Q3 2024, and 0.15% as of Q4 2023.  Annualized net charge offs were 0.13% of average loans in Q4 2024, compared to 0.17% in Q3 2024 and 0.02% in Q4 2024.  The vast majority of charge offs recognized in Q4 2024 were related to unguaranteed portions of U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $3.7 million in both Q4 2024 and Q4 2023.  SBA lending income as well as service charges & debit card income increased over this period, but a $1.2 million gain on the early payoff of $50 million of term FHLB advances in Q4 2023 offset these increases.

SBA lending income rose by $381 thousand due to higher secondary market premiums on sales of guaranteed loans sold in the quarter and higher servicing fee income.  The weighted average net premium on SBA loans sold in Q4 2024 was 8.95%, an increase from 8.14% in Q4 2023.  Guaranteed balances of SBA loans sold totaled $23.2 million in Q4 2024, which was a decrease from $25.4 million in Q4 2023.  

Service charges and debit card income increased by $611 thousand, which was primarily due to the Community First acquisition. 

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $15.8 million in Q4 2024, an increase from $10.2 million in Q4 2023.  Merger & acquisition expenses of $595 thousand were incurred in Q4 2024 related to the Community First acquisition.  These one-time expenses were primarily related to the systems conversion and other integration-related costs.  Further, amortization of the Community First core deposit intangible, which was recognized in the acquisition, added $599 thousand to expense in the quarter.

Also contributing to the increase in non-interest expense, compensation and benefits grew by $2.5 million due partially to the increased headcount from the Community First acquisition as well as other investments that have been made in human capital across the Bank to support its organic growth.

Increases in expense items such as occupancy and equipment, software, data processing, and FDIC insurance were primarily due to the Community First acquisition.  

Income Taxes

Dogwood had tax expense of $1.8 million in Q4 2024, compared to tax expense of $865 thousand in Q4 2023.  The effective tax benefit rate was 22.73% in Q4 2024, which was similar to the effective tax rate of 22.77% in Q4 2023.

Full Year 2024 Earnings Performance

Dogwood reported GAAP net income in 2024 of $5.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to net income of $10.6 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in 2023. GAAP earnings in 2024 were negatively impacted by merger & acquisition expenses and a one-time provision charge on acquired PCD loans, both of which were related to the acquisition of Community First. 

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) in 2024, which excludes the impact of merger & acquisition expenses as well as the provision charge on acquired non-PCD loans, increased to $18.7 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, from $10.6 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, in 2023.  Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue (non-GAAP) in 2024 was $28.8 million, an increase from $18.8 million in 2023.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $63.1 million in 2024, an increase from $42.8 million in 2023.  The increase was due to significant growth in interest-earning assets over the past year, including an increase in assets from the Community First acquisition, and an expansion in net interest margin. 

Total average interest-earning assets increased to $1.66 billion in 2024 from $1.22 billion in 2023.  Average loans increased by $435.8 million.  Average investment securities balances increased by $25.3 million.

Net interest margin expanded to 3.80% in 2024 from 3.52% in 2023.  While cost of funds increased by 0.44% over the periods under comparison, higher yields on interest-earning assets coupled with a more favorable mix of those assets contributed to the improved net interest margin.

Provision for Credit Losses and Asset Quality

Provision for credit losses was $9.9 million in 2024, an increase from $5.2 million in 2023. The increase in provision expense was primarily due to a one-time provision charge of $5.3 million on acquired non-PCD loans.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $14.2 million in 2024, an increase from $12.1 million in 2023.  This increase was primarily related to SBA lending income as well as service charges and debit card income, partially offset by a $1.2 million gain on the early payoff of term FHLB advances in 2023. 

SBA lending income rose by $1.5 million due to higher secondary market premiums on sales of guaranteed loans sold during the year and higher servicing fee income.  The weighted average net premium on SBA loans sold in 2024 was 9.39%, an increase from 8.14% in 2023.  Guaranteed balances of SBA loans sold totaled $102.7 million in 2024, which was a decrease from $105.1 million in 2023. 

Service charges and debit card income increased by $1.1 million, which was primarily due to the Community First acquisition. 

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $59.8 million in 2024, an increase from $36.1 million in 2023.  Merger & acquisition expenses of $11.3 million were incurred in 2024 to complete the Community First acquisition.  These one-time expenses included placement agent fees, professional fees, executive change in control payments, vendor termination payments, and other merger-related costs.  Further, amortization of the Community First core deposit intangible which was recognized in the acquisition added $1.0 million to expense.

Also contributing to the increase in non-interest expense, compensation and benefits grew by $7.0 million due partially to the increased headcount from the Community First acquisition as well as other investments that have been made in human capital across the Bank to support its organic growth.

Increases in expense items such as occupancy and equipment, software, data processing, and FDIC insurance were primarily due to the Community First acquisition. 

Income Taxes

Dogwood had tax expense of $1.8 million in 2024, compared to tax expense of $3.0 million in 2023.  The effective tax rate was 23.12% in 2024, which was slightly higher than the effective tax rate of 22.12% in 2023.

Community First Acquisition

On August 1, 2024, Dogwood completed the acquisition of Community First in an all-stock transaction.  A total of 3.4 million shares of Dogwood voting common stock were issued in the transaction, which equated to total consideration paid of $54.3 million.  Dogwood added $682.5 million in total assets, $474.1 million in gross loans, $572.1 million in total deposits, and $53.6 million in shareholders' equity to its balance sheet in the acquisition.  As part of the purchase price allocation, $4.8 million in goodwill was recognized at acquisition.
