Insights

The reported decrease in Eagle Bancorp's net income for the fourth quarter, juxtaposed with the previous quarter's figures, signals a contraction in profitability that stakeholders should consider. The increased provision for credit losses suggests a cautious approach to potential future defaults, possibly reflecting broader economic uncertainties or a change in the bank's credit portfolio risk profile. Moreover, the decline in noninterest income may indicate weaker performance in areas such as fee-based services, which could be a concern if it represents a trend rather than an isolated event.

On the positive side, the growth in net interest income, driven by higher interest income on loans and investments, is noteworthy. This could be indicative of a strategic shift towards higher-yielding assets or a favorable interest rate environment for the bank. The increase in deposits after a six-quarter decline is also a positive indicator of customer confidence and could serve as a buffer against liquidity risks. The management's focus on reducing reliance on wholesale funding and enhancing commercial lending capabilities may improve the bank's interest margin and reduce interest rate risk exposure.

From a market perspective, Eagle Bancorp's performance review highlights critical strategic pivots that may be of interest to investors. The emphasis on growing the deposit portfolio and commercial lending team aligns with industry trends favoring stable funding sources and diversified revenue streams. The bank's efforts to distance itself from wholesale funding can be seen as a move to mitigate the risks associated with market volatility and interest rate fluctuations.

The reference to 'future sustainable growth and an enhanced earnings profile' suggests that the management is not only addressing immediate challenges but also setting the stage for long-term strategic initiatives. Investors might view this as a commitment to improving shareholder value over time. However, the actual impact of these strategies will depend on their effective implementation and the bank's ability to adapt to a dynamic financial landscape.

The normalization of asset quality metrics mentioned by Eagle Bancorp's CEO reflects a return to more traditional risk levels following a period of potentially heightened risk due to economic instability. This normalization process, combined with the increased funding costs resulting from higher interest rates, provides insight into the bank's operating environment. It suggests that while the bank is navigating economic headwinds, such as potentially higher default rates and increased competition for deposits, it is also benefiting from an environment that allows for higher yields on interest-earning assets.

The bank's ability to grow deposits and net interest income in this context may speak to its resilience and strategic positioning. However, the broader economic implications of higher interest rates, such as reduced borrowing demand and pressure on consumers, could affect the bank's performance moving forward. Stakeholders should consider how macroeconomic factors may influence the bank's operations and financial health in both the short and long term.

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: EGBN), the parent company of EagleBank (the "Bank"), today announced net income of $20.2 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to net income of $27.4 million for the third quarter 2023 (the "prior quarter"). Net income was $0.68 per share (basic) and $0.67 per share (diluted) for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $0.91 per share for the prior quarter (basic and diluted).

The $7.2 million decrease in earnings from the prior quarter was attributable to a higher provision for credit losses and lower noninterest income. These reductions were partially offset by higher net interest income as interest income on loans and investments outpaced the increase in interest expense.

Susan G. Riel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "EagleBank's franchise showed resiliency throughout 2023 by exhibiting continued strength with strong capital levels, strong operating efficiency, and commitment to our customers through a dynamic and uncertain operating environment. The Company's 2023 performance reflected a normalization of asset quality metrics and elevated funding costs from higher interest rates. The team's efforts positively impacted our momentum in the face of these challenges. Deposits ended higher than the comparable year-ago period for the first time in six quarters, and net interest income increased quarter over quarter for the first time in four quarters."

"The EagleBank team is committed to continuing its efforts to grow and improve the quality of our deposit portfolio, reduce the reliance on wholesale funding, and grow our commercial lending team," Ms. Riel said. "I am confident the management team has identified strategies to be executed in 2024 to position the Company for future sustainable growth and an enhanced earnings profile. I am excited about the future and prospects of EagleBank and its ability to serve our communities and customers for years to come."
  
"We once again thank all of our employees for their commitment in serving the needs of our clients and communities. Additionally, we remain committed to a culture of respect, diversity and inclusion in both the workplace and the communities we serve."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Highlights

  • The funding mix continued to improve as deposits at quarter-end were $8.8 billion, up $432 million, or 5.2%, from the prior quarter-end, and are now higher than a year ago before the market disruption in the first quarter of 2023. The increase in deposits was primarily from growth in noninterest bearing demand deposits reflecting a large deposit toward the end of the quarter from a third-party payment processor and money market accounts from a fourth quarter consumer deposit campaign. Average noninterest bearings deposits as a percent of average deposits declined to 22.9%, from 25.1% in the prior quarter. Additionally, brokered deposits declined to 27.0% of deposits at quarter-end, from 29.1% a quarter ago.
  • The net interest margin ("NIM") was 2.45% for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to 2.43% for the prior quarter.
  • The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share.
  • At quarter-end, the common equity and tangible common equity ratios were 10.92% and 10.12%1, respectively.
  • Loans at quarter-end were $8.0 billion, up $52 million, or 0.6%, from the prior quarter-end.
  • Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.57% and the net charge-off year-to-date was 0.24% of average total loans.
  • The provision for credit losses was $14.5 million for the quarter, as compared to $5.6 million the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses as a percent of total loans was 1.08% at quarter-end; up from 1.05% a quarter ago.
  • Total estimated uninsured deposits at December 31, 2023 were $2.8 billion2, or 31.4% of deposits.

Income Statement

  • Net interest income was $73.0 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $70.7 million for the prior quarter. The increase in net interest income from the prior quarter was primarily driven by an increase in earning assets as well as higher yields on loans and investments.
  • Provision for credit losses on loans was $14.5 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $5.6 million for the prior quarter. The increase in the fourth quarter 2023 provision over the prior quarter was primarily driven by the partial charge-off of an office loan that moved to nonperforming and by the sale of a CRE multi-family construction loan. In addition, there was an increase in qualitative reserve that was offset by a reduction in the quantitative reserve. The increase in the qualitative reserve was related to changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, changes in delinquencies and loss experience, and changes in loan ratings. The reduction in the quantitative reserves was based on a decline in individually evaluated loans.
  • Noninterest income was $2.9 million for the fourth quarter 2023, as compared to $6.3 million for the prior quarter. The primary driver for the decrease in the fourth quarter 2023 from the prior quarter were market value adjustments on our derivative book due to lower interest rates.
  • Noninterest expense was $37.1 million for the fourth quarter 2023, as compared to $37.6 million for the prior quarter. Noninterest expense was down $535 thousand from the prior quarter, primarily due to lower overall expenses offset by higher FDIC fees, which were up $1.1 million from the prior quarter on higher assessment fees.

Loans, Total Assets and Funding

  • Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $8.0 billion at December 31, 2023, up 0.7% from a quarter ago. The increase in total loans from the prior quarter-end was driven by growth in C&I loans and construction loans for commercial and residential properties as period-end balances for commercial real estate loans were down.

    At December 31, 2023, income-producing commercial real estate loans secured by office properties other than owner-occupied properties ("CRE office loans") were 11.9% of the total loan portfolio. Our CRE office loans are primarily located in the Washington, D.C. market; with 24.5% in the District of Columbia, 35.4% in Washington's Maryland suburbs, 32.7% in Northern Virginia, and 7.4% located outside these markets.
  • Total deposits were $8.8 billion at December 31, 2023, up 5.2% from a quarter ago. The increase from the prior quarter-end was primarily attributable to an increase in noninterest bearing demand and money market accounts as time deposits declined. Brokered deposits were 27.0% of deposits at quarter-end, down from 29.1% a quarter ago. The decrease in brokered funds as a percent of deposits was from both the increase in total deposits and a decline in brokered demand deposits. The increase in deposits lowered the loan-to-deposit ratio to 90% at December 31, 2023, down from 95% a quarter ago.
  • Borrowings were $1.4 billion at December 31, 2023, unchanged from a quarter ago. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had aggregate available borrowing capacity of $2.1 billion, which includes $1.9 billion in additional aggregate capacity to borrow with the Federal Home Loan Bank and Bank Term Funding Program on assets that have been pledged and unencumbered securities totaling approximately $244 million available for pledging to the Federal Home Loan Bank or Bank Term Funding Program.

Asset Quality

  • Allowance for credit losses was 1.08% of total loans at December 31, 2023, compared to 1.05% a quarter ago. See commentary above in section "Provision for Credit Losses on Loans."

    Net charge-off was $11.9 million for the quarter, which as a percent of average loans (excluding loans held for sale)3 was 0.60% for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to 0.02% a quarter ago. Charge-offs for the fourth quarter 2023 were primarily from the partial charge-off of the office loan and a charge-off related to a write-down of a CRE multi-family construction loan that was sold.
  • Nonperforming loans and assets were $65.5 million and $66.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023.
    • Nonperforming loans ("NPLs") as a percent of loans were 0.82% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.89% a quarter ago. The decrease from a quarter ago was primarily from the the sale of the CRE multi-family construction loan offset by the addition of the office loan.
    • Nonperforming assets ("NPAs") as a percent of assets were 0.57% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.64% a quarter ago. The decrease in NPAs from the prior quarter are related to the two loans mentioned above. At quarter end, other real estate owned consisted of two properties with an aggregate value of $1.1 million.
    • Loans 30-89 days late were $20.7 million at December 31, 2023, down from $46.4 million a quarter ago. The decrease from the prior quarter was primarily from the two properties that were added last quarter migrating to nonperforming.

Capital

  • Total shareholders’ equity was $1.3 billion at December 31, 2023, up 4.8% from a quarter ago. The increase in shareholders' equity of $58.4 million from the prior quarter-end was primarily from higher valuations of AFS securities and retained earnings.
  • Book value per share was $42.58, up $1.94 from a quarter ago.
  • Tangible book value per share4 was $39.08, up $1.96 from a quarter ago.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio"), tangible book value per common share, average tangible common equity, and the return on average tangible common equity are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP based amounts. The Company calculates the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common shareholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. The Company calculates tangible book value per common share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which the Company calculates by dividing common shareholders' equity by common shares outstanding. The Company calculates the annualized return on average tangible common equity ratio by dividing net income available to common shareholders by average tangible common equity, which is calculated by excluding the average balance of intangible assets from the average common shareholders’ equity. The Company considers this information important to shareholders as tangible equity is a measure that is consistent with the calculation of capital for bank regulatory purposes, which excludes intangible assets from the calculation of risk based ratios, and as such is useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate capital adequacy and to compare against other financial institutions. The above tables provide reconciliations of these financial measures defined by GAAP with non-GAAP financial measures.

Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing GAAP non-interest expense by the sum of GAAP net interest income and GAAP non-interest (loss) income. The Company believes that reporting the non-GAAP efficiency ratio more closely measures its effectiveness of controlling operational activities. The table above shows the calculation of the efficiency ratio from these GAAP measures.
