Financial Analyst

Evans Bancorp's Q2 2024 results demonstrate a mixed performance with some positive trends amid ongoing challenges. The 26% sequential increase in net income to $2.9 million ($0.53 per diluted share) is noteworthy, driven by higher net interest income, increased non-interest income and lower non-interest expenses. However, the year-over-year comparison shows a decline from $4.9 million ($0.90 per diluted share) in Q2 2023.

The net interest margin of 2.71% exceeded expectations but decreased 8 basis points sequentially and 39 basis points year-over-year, reflecting the challenging interest rate environment. The loan growth of 5% annualized year-to-date is positive, indicating continued demand in the commercial sector. The strong deposit growth of 10% year-to-date is particularly impressive given the competitive landscape.

The efficiency ratio of 75.11% improved from the previous quarter but deteriorated compared to Q2 2023, suggesting room for further operational optimization. The sale of The Evans Agency has impacted year-over-year comparisons but appears to have strengthened the company's focus on core banking operations.

Overall, Evans Bancorp is navigating a challenging environment with some success, but investors should monitor the pressure on net interest margin and the company's ability to maintain loan growth and deposit stability in the face of economic uncertainties.

Banking Industry Expert

Evans Bancorp's Q2 2024 results reflect the broader trends in the banking industry, particularly for regional banks. The increase in interest-bearing deposits at banks ($106 million since year-end) suggests a flight to safety following recent banking sector turbulence. This influx of deposits, while positive for liquidity, may pressure margins if not deployed effectively.

The strong commercial loan growth, especially in commercial real estate ($60 million increase year-over-year) and C&I loans ($28 million increase), indicates Evans is capitalizing on opportunities in its market. However, the rising non-performing loan ratio of 1.42%, while an improvement from Q1, warrants close monitoring in the current economic climate.

Evans' strategic focus on digital capabilities and expansion in the Rochester market aligns with industry trends towards technological innovation and targeted growth. The bank's solid capital position, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.04%, provides a buffer against potential economic headwinds and supports these strategic initiatives.

The reduction in the investment securities portfolio and the associated unrealized losses ($7.89 per share impact on book value) highlight the challenges many banks face in the current interest rate environment. Evans' ability to navigate these challenges while maintaining growth will be important for its performance in the coming quarters.

WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Evans”) (NYSE American: EVBN), a community financial services company serving Western New York since 1920, today reported results of operations for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The prior-year period includes business activity relating to The Evans Agency (TEA) prior to the sale to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. on November 30, 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Net income per share was $0.53 in the second quarter, which was up 26% sequentially on higher revenue and lower expenses
• Second quarter net interest margin of 2.71% was above expectations due to balance sheet adjustments in the first quarter and ongoing deposit pricing strategy
• Total loan balances of $1.77 billion increased $43 million, or 5% annualized, year-to-date and were up $94 million, or 6%, over last year’s second quarter
• Strong loan pipeline of $137 million
• Total deposits of $1.89 billion increased $173 million, or 10%, year-to-date, and were up $105 million, or 6%, from the end of last year’s second quarter

Net income increased 26% to $2.9 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024, from $2.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024. The sequential increase was due to higher net interest income of $0.4 million, an increase in non-interest income of $0.1 million, and lower non-interest expense of $0.4 million. Last year’s second quarter had net income of $4.9 million, or $0.90 per diluted share. The change from the prior-year period was due to lower net interest income of $1.4 million, an increase in loan provision of $0.4 million, and the impact of the sale of TEA. Return on average equity was 6.76% for the second quarter of 2024, compared with 5.28% in the first quarter of 2024 and 12.25% in the second quarter of 2023.

David J. Nasca, President and CEO of Evans Bancorp, Inc., commented, “Strong performance was delivered in the second quarter, marked by growth in core banking operations and notable increases in commercial lending portfolio. This growth, alongside a stable deposit base and other balance sheet optimization efforts during the first quarter, resulted in a net interest margin that exceeded expectations. Additionally, disciplined expense management contributed to the 26% increase in net income on a sequential basis.

“We remain focused on strategic priorities, including enhancing our digital capabilities to provide innovative banking solutions, expanding our commercial loan portfolio in the Rochester market, and delivering exceptional customer service. While we remain cautious about the economic outlook and potential impacts of interest rate fluctuations and regulatory changes, we are confident in our ability to perform through these challenges.”

Net interest income after provision		$	14,023			$	13,641			$	15,797

Net interest income of $14.3 million increased $0.4 million, or 3%, over the first quarter of 2024 due to higher average loans and the Company’s investment strategy to strengthen the balance sheet at the end of the first quarter. Compared with last year’s second quarter, net interest income was lower by $1.4 million, or 9%, as a result of higher interest expense related to the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities produced by competitive pricing on deposits.

Second quarter net interest margin of 2.71% decreased 8 basis points from the trailing first quarter and 39 basis points from the prior-year period. The yield on loans increased 7 basis points compared with the first quarter and was up 37 basis points year-over-year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.27% compared with 3.04% in the first quarter of 2024 and 2.18% in the second quarter of 2023.

The $0.3 million provision for credit losses in the second quarter was due to loan growth as well as slower prepayment rates, partially offset by improving economic factors.

Total non-interest income		$	2,400			$	2,267			$	4,701

Total non-interest income increased $0.1 million from the sequential quarter primarily due to higher loan fees and wealth management revenue.

The $2.3 million reduction from the prior-year period was due to lower insurance service and fee revenue of $2.5 million mostly driven by the sale of TEA, partially offset by an increase in other income of $0.2 million.

Total non-interest expenses		$	12,558			$	12,927			$	14,172

Non-interest expenses decreased $0.4 million from the sequential quarter and $1.6 million from the prior-year period.

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest component of non-interest expenses, were down $0.5 million, or 6%, from the first quarter of 2024 and $1.3 million, or 15%, from the prior-year period. Included in salaries and employee benefits during the first quarter of 2024 was the funding of employee’s health savings accounts and payroll taxes that are typically higher in the first quarter. Compared with last year’s second quarter, the decrease was primarily due to salaries and employee benefits expenses related to TEA of $1.5 million, offset by higher incentive accruals of $0.2 million.

The change in advertising and public relations when compared with both periods reflected the timing of promotional campaigns.

Technology and communications expenses increased $0.2 million from the sequential first quarter but remained relatively flat from last year’s second quarter. The sequential increase was due to higher ATM card fees as well as software costs as the Company continues to invest in technological solutions.

The Company’s GAAP efficiency ratio, or noninterest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 75.11% in the second quarter of 2024, 79.92% in the first quarter of 2024, and 69.53% in the second quarter of 2023.

Income tax expense was $0.9 million, for an effective tax rate of 23.8%, in the second quarter of 2024 compared with 21.7% in the first quarter of 2024 and 22.0% in last year’s second quarter.

Balance Sheet Highlights

“Our capital position remains solid, providing us with the capacity to support clients, invest in strategic initiatives, and return capital to shareholders. Investments in our team continue to drive strong loan production, which is on plan through the first half of the year. With a healthy pipeline in place, we expect mid-single digit commercial loan growth in 2024,” commented John Connerton, Chief Financial Officer of Evans Bank.

Total assets were $2.26 billion as of June 30, 2024, an increase of $149 million, or 7%, since December 31, 2023, and were up $102 million, or 5%, since June 30, 2023. Interest-bearing deposits at banks increased $106 million and $100 million, respectively, from the comparative periods. In addition, loan growth was $44 million, or 5% on an annualized basis, since year end 2023 and $94 million, or 6%, when compared with the prior-year period. Partially offsetting those increases was a reduction in investment securities of $10 million and $86 million since December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, respectively. Since June 30, 2023, commercial real estate loans increased $60 million and commercial and industrial loans increased $28 million.

Investment securities were $267 million at June 30, 2024, $5 million lower than the end of the first quarter of 2024 and $86 million lower than the end of last year’s second quarter. The Company sold $78 million of investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2023 and used the proceeds to reduce short-term borrowings. The primary objectives of the Company’s investment portfolio are to provide liquidity, secure municipal deposits, and maximize income while preserving the safety of principal. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the remaining portfolio through recovery of value.

Total deposits of $1.89 billion increased $173 million, or 10%, from December 31, 2023, and were up $105 million, or 6%, from the end of last year’s second quarter. From a product perspective, the change from year-end reflected increases in brokered time deposits of $55 million, municipal saving deposits of $40 million, NOW deposits of $37 million, consumer time deposits of $13 million, commercial savings of $11 million, consumer savings of $10 million, and demand deposits of $7 million.

At June 30, 2024, Evans had $41 million borrowed at FHLB. Given the current collateral available at FHLB, advances up to $303 million can be drawn on the FHLB via the Company’s overnight line of credit. Additionally, Evans has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve. At June 30, 2024, Evans had $88 million in short-term borrowings with the Federal Reserve and $10 million in additional availability to borrow against collateral.

Capital Management

The Company has consistently maintained regulatory capital ratios measurably above the Federal “well capitalized” standard, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.04% at June 30, 2024 compared with 10.52% at March 31, 2024 and 9.43% at June 30, 2023.

Book value per share was $32.15 at June 30, 2024 compared with $31.62 at March 31, 2023 and $29.12 at June 30, 2023. Reflected in the book value changes are the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes that have resulted in significant unrealized losses on investment securities. As of June 30, 2024, this amounted to $7.89 per share impact to book value. Such unrealized gains and losses are due to changes in interest rates and represent the difference, net of applicable income tax effect, between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of investment securities classified as available-for-sale.

Non-GAAP tangible book value per share was $31.81 at June 30, 2024 compared with $31.29 at March 31, 2024 and $26.61 at June 30, 2023. The increase over the prior-year period reflected the sale of TEA, which resulted in significant value creation including growth in tangible book value.
