Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported net loss of $338 thousand for the first quarter of 2024 is a significant shift from the net income of $20.2 million in the previous quarter. This transition from profit to loss can have a profound effect on investor sentiment and stock valuation. The sharp increase in the provision for credit losses, which rose by $20.7 million, primarily due to a revaluation of a CRE office property collateral, signals potential concerns about asset quality and credit risk within the bank's portfolio. Investors should carefully analyze the bank's exposure to similar assets and the broader market trends in commercial real estate, as further devaluations could impact future earnings. The stability of the PPNR at around $38 million, despite this loss, suggests that the bank's core operations remain solid, which could indicate resilience in its business model over the long-term. However, it's paramount to monitor subsequent quarters to ascertain if this is an isolated event or part of a trend.

Real Estate Market Analyst

The mention of a revaluation for a CRE office property that led to a substantial loss could point to underlying volatility in the commercial real estate market, particularly in the office sector. This may reflect broader shifts such as changes in work-from-home policies affecting office space demand. For retail investors, understanding the dynamics of the CRE sector, including vacancy rates, rental prices and new construction developments, could provide context on how these trends might continue to affect Eagle Bancorp. It's also indicative that the bank is working on enhancing the diversification of deposits and growing the commercial lending team, which suggests strategies aimed at mitigating risk and pursuing growth in challenging market conditions.

Banking Industry Analyst

The CEO's statement highlights a strategic focus on diversification of deposits and growth in the commercial lending space. This approach can mitigate risk by not overly depending on a single segment or loan type. The efforts to manage their office portfolio proactively in today's evolving workspace environment demonstrates adaptability, a important trait for banks amidst digital transformation and shifting work patterns. For investors, it is vital to track the bank's success in these strategic areas as it could signal their ability to navigate market disruptions and leverage opportunities for growth. The reported strong capital levels also suggest that the bank is well-capitalized, which may offer a buffer against further potential credit losses.

BETHESDA, Md., April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ: EGBN), the parent company of EagleBank (the "Bank"), today announced a net loss of $338 thousand for the first quarter 2024, compared to net income of $20.2 million for the fourth quarter 2023 (the "prior quarter"). Net loss was $(0.01) per share (diluted) for the first quarter 2024, compared to net income of $0.67 per share (diluted) for the prior quarter. Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR")¹, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $38.3 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $38.8 million for the prior quarter.

The $20.6 million decrease from earnings in the prior quarter was attributable to a $20.7 million increase in provision for credit losses, due primarily to an updated valuation for a commercial real estate ("CRE") office property collateralizing a lending relationship that was partially charged-off in the first quarter 2024. The provision for credit losses was $35.2 million for the first quarter 2024, comprising the impact of the updated valuation and an increase in the office allowance for credit losses ("ACL") coverage ratio.

Susan G. Riel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, "Our results for the quarter showcased the strong fundamentals of our business, evidenced by the stability in our pre-provision net revenue, our growing reserve for credit losses, and our strong capital levels. The quarter showcased the progress we are making towards achieving our strategic objectives of enhancing the diversification of our deposits, growing the commercial lending team, and proactively managing our office portfolio."

Ms. Riel continued, "I am pleased that we are being proactive in addressing our challenges while always maintaining a trusted brand and franchise in our community. I am excited about the prospects of EagleBank and its ability to serve our communities and customers for years to come."

Eric R. Newell, Chief Financial Officer of the Company said, "Our operational performance remained stable over the last twelve months, and we are proud to have increased our deposits by over $1.0 billion and our loans by over $245.0 million over the last year. With these solid operating results, and our strong capital position evidenced by our common equity and tangible common equity¹ ratios exceeding 10%, we are well positioned to continue executing on our strategic priorities."

Ms. Riel added, "The EagleBank team continues to serve our customers and communities, showing tenacity and commitment through a challenging operating environment. I thank all of our employees for their hard work and dedication. Additionally, we remain committed to a Relationship First culture of respect, diversity and inclusion in both the workplace and the communities we serve."

• Net loss was $338 thousand for the first quarter 2024, compared to net income of $20.2 million in the prior quarter, with PPNR of $38.3 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $38.8 million for the prior quarter.
• The ACL as a percentage of total loans was 1.25% at quarter-end; up from 1.08% at the prior quarter-end. Performing office coverage² was 3.67% at quarter-end; as compared to 1.91% at the prior quarter-end.
• The net interest margin ("NIM") remained steady at 2.43% for the first quarter 2024, compared to 2.45% for the prior quarter.
• The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share.
• At quarter-end, the common equity ratio, tangible common equity ratio, and common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) ratio were 10.85%, 10.03%, and 13.80%, respectively.
• Loans at quarter-end were $8.0 billion, up $14.0 million, or 0.2%, from the prior quarter-end.
• Deposits at quarter-end were $8.5 billion, down $306.6 million, or 3.5%, from the prior quarter-end. The decrease was primarily attributable to anticipated seasonality in deposits from tax payments. Deposits have increased over $1.0 billion as compared to March 31, 2023.
• Total estimated insured deposits at quarter-end were $6.2 billion, or 72.4% of deposits. Total on-balance sheet liquidity and available capacity was $2.9 billion at quarter-end.

Income Statement

• Net interest income was $74.7 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $73.0 million for the prior quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in the average balances of deposits held with other banks and yields on the loan portfolio.
• Provision for credit losses was $35.2 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $14.5 million for the prior quarter. The increase in the provision was primarily driven by an updated valuation for a CRE office property collateralizing a lending relationship that was partially charged off in the first quarter 2024 due to an updated appraisal. In addition, there was an increase in the provision primarily attributable to the increase in the office ACL coverage ratio.
• Noninterest income was $3.6 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $2.9 million for the prior quarter. The primary driver for the increase was market value adjustments on our derivative book.
• Noninterest expense was $40.0 million for the first quarter 2024, compared to $37.1 million for the prior quarter. The increase over the comparative quarters was primarily due to increased salaries and employee benefits expenses in connection with first quarter seasonality and related payroll tax increases in the first quarter 2024, along with higher Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") fees.

Loans and Funding

• Total loans were $8.0 billion at March 31, 2024, up 0.2% from the prior quarter-end. The increase in total loans was driven by increased fundings of ongoing construction projects for commercial and residential properties, partially offset by a reduction in CRE loans from quarter-end to the prior quarter-end.
  
  At March 31, 2024, income-producing commercial real estate loans secured by office properties other than owner-occupied properties were 11.2% of the total loan portfolio at principal, down from 11.9% at the prior quarter-end.
  

• Total deposits were $8.5 billion at March 31, 2024, down 3.5% from the prior quarter-end. The decrease was primarily attributable to seasonality in deposits from tax payments.
• Borrowings were $1.7 billion at March 31, 2024, up 21.9% from the prior quarter-end due primarily to net fundings on the Company's secured borrowing lines.

Asset Quality

• Allowance for credit losses was 1.25% of total loans at March 31, 2024, compared to 1.08% at the prior quarter-end. Performing office coverage was 3.67% at quarter-end; as compared to 1.91% at the prior quarter-end.
  
  Net charge-offs were $21.4 million for the quarter.

• Nonperforming assets were $92.3 million at March 31, 2024.
  • NPAs as a percentage of assets were 0.79% at March 31, 2024, compared to 0.57% at the prior quarter-end. At March 31, 2024, other real estate owned consisted of four properties with an aggregate carrying value of $773 thousand.
  • Loans 30-89 days past due were $31.1 million at March 31, 2024, up from $13.6 million at the prior quarter-end attributed to two relationships; one has since been brought current and the other as posing a limited risk of loss.
    

Capital

• Total shareholders' equity was $1.3 billion at March 31, 2024, down 1.2% from the prior quarter-end. The decrease in shareholders' equity of $14.9 million was primarily from reduced valuations of available-for-sale securities and a decline in retained earnings.
• Book value per share was $41.72, down $0.86 from the prior quarter-end.
• Tangible book value per share¹ was $38.26, down $0.82 from the prior quarter-end.

Tangible common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible common equity ratio"), tangible book value per common share, average tangible common equity, and the annualized 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, or tangible common 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 efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing GAAP noninterest expense by the sum of GAAP net interest income and GAAP noninterest income. The efficiency ratio measures a bank's overhead as a percentage of its revenue. The Company believes that reporting the non-GAAP efficiency ratio more closely measures its effectiveness of controlling operational activities.

Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by subtracting noninterest expenses from the sum of net interest income and noninterest income. The Company considers this information important to shareholders because it illustrates revenue excluding the impact of provisions and reversals to the allowance for credit losses on loans.
