This earnings report for Equity Bancshares shows strong performance in Q3 2024. Key highlights include:

  • Net income of $19.8 million or $1.28 per diluted share
  • Adjusted earnings of $1.31 per share excluding merger costs
  • Loan growth of 16.9% annualized
  • Tangible book value growth of 10.4%
  • $8.5 million pre-tax benefit from resolving a problem asset

The 16.9% annualized loan growth is particularly impressive, indicating strong organic growth. The 10.4% increase in tangible book value per share to $28.38 is also notable, reflecting solid capital generation. The resolution of a problem asset resulting in an $8.5 million benefit demonstrates effective risk management.

While net interest margin declined slightly to 3.87% from 3.94%, this was mainly due to declining non-accrual loan impacts and purchase accounting accretion. Overall, asset quality remains strong with non-performing assets at just 0.6% of total assets.

The 25% dividend increase and new share repurchase authorization signal management's confidence in the bank's financial position and outlook. With strong capital ratios and continued growth, Equity Bancshares appears well-positioned heading into Q4 and 2025.

Reports 10.4% Tangible Book Value Growth, Closes Merger with KansasLand, Adding to Kansas Franchise

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2024

Net income allocable to common stockholders was $19.8 million, or $1.28 per diluted share. Adjusting to exclude $618 thousand in pre-tax costs associated with mergers and gain on security transactions of $206 thousand, net income was $20.2 million or $1.31 per diluted share.

Excluding merger expenses and the costs associated with repositioning a portion of our BOLI portfolio in the prior quarter, net income was $15.3 million, or $0.99 per diluted share. The drivers of the periodic change are discussed in detail in the following sections.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $46.0 million for the period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, the decline was driven by minor declines in average earning assets and margin, partially offset by an additional day in the current period. Net interest margin was 3.87% for the quarter compared to 3.94% as the yield on interest-earning assets declined 7 basis points to 6.30%.

The decline in earning asset yield was driven by declining trends in both non-accrual loan impacts and purchase accounting accretion. The comparative change in these components of interest income resulted in an 8 basis point decline in margin.

Provision for Credit Losses

During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there was a provision of $1.2 million compared to a provision of $265 thousand in the previous quarter. The provision was primarily attributable to growth in loan balances during the period. The Company continues to estimate the allowance for credit loss with assumptions that anticipate slower prepayment rates and continued market disruption caused by elevated inflation, supply chain issues and the impact of monetary policy on consumers and businesses. During the quarter, we realized net charge-offs of $1.6 million as compared to $1.2 million for the previous quarter.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income was $9.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $9.0 million linked quarter. Included in current quarter results was gain realized on the acquisition of KansasLand of $831 thousand. Service fee revenue including deposit services, treasury, debit card, credit card, insurance and wealth management increased at an annualized rate of 2% during the quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

Total non-interest expense for the quarter was $30.3 million as compared to $38.9 million for the previous quarter. Adjusting for merger expenses in both periods, the decrease quarter over quarter was $6.9 million driven by the $8.5 million gain from a borrower's repurchase of our preferred equity interest in the borrower's company, partially offset by a $742 thousand write-down of a previous bank location now carried in Other Real Estate Owned and a $900 thousand increase in incentive accruals.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 16.7% as compared to 28.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in rate during the quarter was the result of the reversal of the non-recurring recognition of tax expense related to the liquidation of bank owned life insurance in the second quarter in addition to the reversal of deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the current tax year. Year-to-date effective tax rate is 21.2%.

Loans, Total Assets and Funding

Loans held for investment were $3.6 billion at September 30, 2024, increasing $146.5 million, or 16.9% on an annualized basis, during the quarter. Total assets were $5.4 billion as of the end of the period, increasing $109.7 million during the quarter.

Total deposits were $4.4 billion at September 30, 2024, increasing $21.5 million, or 2.0% on an annualized basis, from the previous quarter end. Of the total deposit balance, non-interest-bearing accounts comprise approximately 22.2%. Total Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings were $296.0 million as of the end of the quarter, up $45.7 million as compared to June 30, 2024.

Asset Quality

As of September 30, 2024, Equity’s allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.2% down 5 basis points as compared to June 30, 2024. The decline was driven by realized charge-offs during the period. Nonperforming assets were $32.3 million as of September 30, 2024, or 0.6% of total assets, compared to $27.2 million at June 30, 2024, or 0.5% of total assets. Non-accrual loans were $31.2 million at September 30, 2024, as compared to $26.6 million at June 30, 2024. Total classified assets, including loans rated special mention or worse, other real estate owned, excluding previous branch locations, and other repossessed assets were $49.1 million, or 8.32% of regulatory capital, up from $48.4 million, or 8.5% of regulatory capital as of June 30, 2024.

Capital

Quarter over quarter, book capital increased $42.6 million to $504.0 million and tangible capital increased $43.2 million to $433.9 million. Tangible book value per share closed the quarter at $28.4, increasing 10.4% compared to prior quarter. The increase in capital is primarily due to earnings and improvement in unrealized losses on bonds and cash flow hedges of $22.0 million, partially offset by dividends of $2.3 million. Tangible capital was also positively affected by the amortization of core deposit intangibles during the quarter.

The Company’s ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.4%, the total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.8% and the total leverage ratio was 9.6% at September 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024, the Company’s common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 11.1%, the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 14.6% and the total leverage ratio was 9.1%.

Equity Bank's ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.0%, total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.1% and the total leverage ratio was 10.4% at September 30, 2024. At June 30, 2024, Equity Bank’s ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.9%, the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.0% and the total leverage ratio was 10.1%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management periodically supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures that are intended to provide the reader with additional perspectives on operating results, financial condition and performance trends, while facilitating comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, rather, they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information.

The efficiency ratio is a common comparable metric used by banks to understand the expense structure relative to total revenue. In other words, for every dollar of total revenue recognized, how much of that dollar is expended. To improve the comparability of the ratio to our peers, non-core items are excluded. To improve transparency and acknowledging that banks are not consistent in their definition of the efficiency ratio, we include our calculation of this non-GAAP measure.

Return on average assets before income tax provision and provision for loan losses is a measure that the Company uses to understand fundamental operating performance before these expenses. Used as a ratio relative to average assets, we believe it demonstrates “core” performance and can be viewed as an alternative measure of how efficiently the Company services its asset base. Used as a ratio relative to average equity, it can function as an alternative measure of the Company’s earnings performance in relationship to its equity.

Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, and their related amortization. These financial measures are useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or developed internally. Return on average tangible common equity is used by management and readers of our financial statements to understand how efficiently the Company is deploying its common equity. Companies that are able to demonstrate more efficient use of common equity are more likely to be viewed favorably by current and prospective investors.

The Company believes that disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures is both useful internally and is expected by our investors and analysts in order to understand the overall performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate and define their non-GAAP financial measures and supplemental data differently. A reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP measures and other performance ratios, as adjusted, are included in Table 6 in the following press release tables.

Accordingly, Equity cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although Equity believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
