LOWELL, Mass., July 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBTC), parent of Enterprise Bank, announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Executive Chairman & Founder George Duncan commented, "We are pleased with our second quarter results. Our operating strategy has always been to serve our customers and communities through consistent and disciplined lending, a conservative and long-term focus, being highly responsive to our customers' banking needs and making ongoing investments in our products, services, and people to provide the best banking services through all economic cycles. We have always sought to fund asset growth with relationship-based customer deposits and use wholesale borrowings as supplemental funding for relatively short periods of time. This approach has served us well over time and especially now. We have a relatively high level of liquidity with significant funding capacity and are well positioned to take advantage of market opportunities in the current environment."

Key financial results at or for the three months ended June 30, 2023, are as follows:

• Net income amounted to $9.7 million, or $0.79 per diluted common share, compared to $8.2 million, or $0.67 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $10.8 million, or $0.88 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
• Included in pre-tax income were $3.4 million in Employee Retention Credits ("ERC"), which the Company recognized as a reduction to salary and benefits expense, a loss on the sale of debt securities of $2.4 million and a provision for credit losses of $2.3 million.
• Total loans amounted to $3.35 billion, an increase of $115.5 million, or 4%, compared to March 31, 2023. Loans outstanding have increased 9% compared to June 30, 2022.
• Total customer deposits amounted to $4.08 billion, an increase of $59.4 million, or 1%, compared to March 31, 2023. Customer deposits have increased 1% compared to June 30, 2022.
• Cash and equivalents amounted to $258.8 million, while wholesale borrowings amounted to $3.3 million at June 30, 2023.
  
  

Chief Executive Officer Jack Clancy commented, "Loan growth was strong during the quarter, and we continue to see good demand in our markets." Mr. Clancy continued, "In June, to increase asset sensitivity and earnings, the Company sold $84.8 million in investment securities, reinvesting the proceeds into higher yielding short-term investments, and separately entered into a two-year, pay fixed loan hedge with a notional balance of $50.0 million. These initiatives provide an annualized income enhancement of approximately $2.0 million to net interest income based on interest rates at June 30, 2023."

Net Income
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $9.7 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 19%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

• The increase in net income during the period was due primarily to an increase in net interest income of $2.3 million and a decrease in non-interest expense of $1.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income of $1.3 million. The components of the increase in net income are detailed below.
  
  

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $38.1 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

• The increase in net interest income during the period was due largely to increases in loan interest income of $9.7 million and other interest-earning asset income of $1.5 million, partially offset by an increase in deposit interest expense of $9.0 million, due primarily to higher market interest rates over the comparable periods and increased competition for deposits from bank and non-bank alternatives.
  
  

Net Interest Margin
Three months ended – June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023

Tax-equivalent net interest margin ("net interest margin") (non-GAAP) was 3.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.76% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net interest margin compared to the prior quarter was impacted by the following factors:

• Average interest-earning deposits with banks decreased $42.9 million, or 22%, while the yield increased 37 basis points. The decrease in average balance resulted from funding loan growth, partially offset by a decrease in average debt securities, while the increase in yield reflected the increase in market interest rates during the period.
• Average debt securities decreased $20.3 million, or 2%, while the tax-equivalent yield remained unchanged. The decrease in average balance resulted from principal pay-downs, calls, maturities and sales of debt securities during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
• Average loan balances increased $67.7 million, or 2%, and the tax-equivalent yield increased 12 basis points. The increase in loan yields resulted primarily from increases in market interest rates during the period.
• Average total deposits increased $3.9 million and the yield increased 36 basis points. The increase in yield resulted from increases in market interest rates and competition from bank and non-bank alternatives during the period.

Three months ended – June 30, 2023 compared to June 30, 2022

Net interest margin was 3.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net interest margin compared to the prior year quarter was impacted by the following factors:

• Average interest-earning deposits with banks decreased $58.3 million, or 28%, while the yield increased 413 basis points. The decrease in average balance resulted primarily from funding loan growth, partially offset by a decrease in average debt securities and an increase in average total deposits. The increase in yield reflected a significant increase in market interest rates during the period.
• Average debt securities decreased $54.3 million, or 6%, while the tax-equivalent yield increased 20 basis points. The decrease in average balance resulted from principal pay-downs, calls, maturities and sales of debt securities during the three months ended June 30, 2023, with funds redeployed into higher yielding interest-earning deposits.
• Average loan balances increased $248.5 million, or 8%, and the tax-equivalent yield increased 86 basis points. The increase in loan yields resulted primarily from increases in market interest rates during the period.
• Average total deposits increased $94.6 million, or 2%, and the yield increased 90 basis points. The increase in yield resulted from increases in market interest rates, a shift in deposit mix to higher yielding products and competition from bank and non-bank alternatives, occurring principally over the last nine months.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $2.3 million, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The provision expense for the second quarter of 2023 resulted mainly from an increase in loans outstanding and, to a lesser extent, an increase in off-balance sheet commitments during the period.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $2.8 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 32%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

• Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 included losses on sales of debt securities of $2.4 million and gains on equity securities of $189 thousand. Non-interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2022 had no losses on sales of debt securities and losses on equity securities of $429 thousand.
• Excluding the items above, non-interest income increased $487 thousand, or 11%, due primarily to an increase in deposit and interchange fees of $295 thousand.
  
  

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $25.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 5%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in salaries and employee benefits of $1.6 million, due primarily to the receipt of $3.4 million in ERC, which were recognized as a reduction to salary and benefits expense.

• Excluding the ERC, non-interest expense increased $2.2 million, or 8%, due primarily to an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.8 million, or 10%.
• The increase in non-interest expense, excluding the ERC, was also impacted by increases in advertising and public relations expenses of $244 thousand and deposit insurance premiums of $249 thousand, partially offset by a decrease in technology and telecommunications expenses of $283 thousand.
  
  

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 25.6% and 23.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulted primarily from the transfers of funds from the Bank's investment subsidiary corporations and a partially non-deductible loss on the sale of debt securities. The Company established a valuation allowance against the capital loss carryforward deferred tax asset which resulted from the sale of securities. The effective tax rate was 24.2% and 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Balance Sheet
Total assets amounted to $4.50 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $4.44 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $64.0 million, or 1%.

Total interest-earning deposits with banks, which consist of overnight and short-term investments, amounted to $208.8 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $230.7 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $21.9 million, or 9%. The decrease was due primarily to the funding of loan growth, partially offset by sales of debt securities, investment cash flows and deposit growth.

Total investment securities at fair value amounted to $712.9 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $820.4 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $107.5 million, or 13%. The decrease was attributable principally to $84.8 million in sales of debt securities and, to a lesser extent, principal pay downs, calls and maturities. Net unrealized losses on the debt securities portfolio, which were attributable to an increase in market interest rates, amounted to $113.1 million at June 30, 2023 and $124.1 million at December 31, 2022. Management has determined that no allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for available-for-sale securities was necessary as of June 30, 2023.

Total loans amounted to $3.35 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $3.18 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $165.1 million, or 5%. Growth during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily in commercial real estate of $87.9 million, or 5%, and commercial construction of $63.0 million, or 15%.

Customer deposits amounted to $4.08 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $4.04 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $39.8 million, or 1%. The deposit balance at June 30, 2023 was positively impacted by a large deposit received in March 2023 of approximately $60.0 million that management believes may be temporary in nature and resulted from a customer business transaction. In addition, the Company experienced a shift in deposit mix at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, resulting from customers moving funds out of lower yielding checking and savings accounts (which together, decreased 3%) into higher yielding money market and certificate of deposit products (which together, increased 7%).

Deposit portfolio segmentation at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was as follows:

• Checking accounts represented 48% of total deposits, compared to 51%.
• Savings and money market accounts represented 41% of total deposits, compared to 42%.
• Certificates of deposit accounts represented 10% of total deposits, compared to 7%.
  
  

Shareholders' Equity & Regulatory Capital
Total shareholders' equity amounted to $307.5 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $282.3 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $25.2 million, or 9%. The increase was due primarily to an increase in retained earnings and a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"), which resulted from an increase in the fair value of debt securities.

Total capital and tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, of which AOCL is not a component, amounted to 13.37% and 10.52%, respectively, at June 30, 2023 compared to 13.49% and 10.56%, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The decreases were driven primarily by commercial loan growth, partially offset by an increase in retained earnings during the period.

Credit Quality
The increases in the ACL for loans and reserve for unfunded commitments compared to December 31, 2022, as noted below, resulted primarily from an increased probability and severity of forecasted economic conditions in our allowance model, and to a lesser extent, growth in the Company's loan portfolio and off-balance sheet commitments.

• The ACL for loans amounted to $56.9 million, or 1.70% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $52.6 million, or 1.66% of total loans, at December 31, 2022.
• The reserve for unfunded commitments (included in other liabilities) amounted to $5.0 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2022.
• Non-performing loans amounted to $7.6 million, or 0.23% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, compared to $6.1 million, or 0.19% of total loans, at December 31, 2022.
• Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2023, amounted to $146 thousand, compared to net recoveries of $84 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
  
  

Liquidity & Funding Capacity
All balances and ratios presented in this section are at June 30, 2023 unless otherwise indicated.

• Overnight and short-term investment amounted to $208.8 million, which were reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheet as interest-earning deposits with banks.
• Uninsured deposits amounted to 36% of total deposits.
• Deposit balances that utilize third party enhanced Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured products amounted to $796.8 million. Additional capacity to utilize these enhanced FDIC insured products exceeds the Company's total deposits balance.
• There were no brokered deposits outstanding. Borrowed funds amounted to $3.3 million and related to the Company's participation in specific pass-through community development programs under the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLB") and, to a lesser extent, the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority.
• FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of Boston secured borrowing capacity amounted to $1.1 billion.
• The Company has several brokered deposit relationships (unsecured borrowings) which management estimated could provide an additional $800.0 million in funding capacity.
  
  

Wealth Management
Wealth assets under management and wealth assets under administration, which are not carried as assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, amounted to $1.0 billion and $214.1 million, respectively, at June 30, 2023, representing increases of $117.9 million, or 13%, and $15.5 million, or 8%, respectively, compared to December 31, 2022. The increase in assets under management resulted from an increase in market values as well as assets attracted through new and expanded client relationships.
