CORYDON, Ind., Oct. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FCAP), the holding company for First Harrison Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income of $3.1 million or $0.94 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to $3.1 million or $0.93 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses decreased $236,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Interest income increased $2.1 million when comparing the periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 3.27% for the third quarter of 2022 to 4.04% for the third quarter of 2023. The average balance of interest-earning assets was $1.13 billion for the third quarters of 2022 and 2023. The increase in the tax-equivalent yield was primarily due to an increase in the tax equivalent yield on loans to 5.75% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to 4.81% for the same period in 2022. Interest expense increased $2.3 million when comparing the periods due to an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 0.20% for the third quarter of 2022 to 1.30% for the third quarter of 2023, in addition to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities from $797.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 to $813.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The Company had average outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of $3.3 million with an average rate of 6.03% and average outstanding borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank’s Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”) of $13.0 million with an average rate of 5.02% during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s total average outstanding balance of borrowings during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was $16.3 million with an average rate of 5.22%. There were no outstanding borrowed funds during 2022. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent interest rate spread decreased from 3.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to 2.74% for the same period in 2023.

Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $175,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 to $290,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $19,000 and $3,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Noninterest income increased $74,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The Company recognized a $98,000 decrease in unrealized losses on equity securities and increases of $68,000 and $51,000 in ATM and debit card fees and other income, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized a net $63,000 gain on sale of securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 compared to no such gain during the same period in 2022. These were partially offset by decreases in commission and fee income and gains on the sale of loans of $145,000 and $43,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods.

The $63,000 net gain on sale of securities was a result of the Company’s regular evaluation of its entire securities portfolio. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold securities available for sale with a market value of $9.4 million and an amortized cost basis of $9.5 million resulting in a net loss of $94,000. The net loss was more than offset by the $157,000 gain on sale of the Company’s VISA Class B stock in September 2023. The strategy for both sales was the enhancement of long-term earnings.

Noninterest expense decreased $78,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to decreases in compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses and professional fees of $101,000, $27,000 and $31,000, respectively. These were partially offset by a $66,000 increase in data processing expenses.

Income tax expense decreased $97,000 for the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to increased benefits from tax credit entity investments during 2023. As a result, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was 15.4% compared to 17.6% for the same period in 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported net income of $9.7 million or $2.89 per diluted share compared to net income of $8.4 million or $2.49 per diluted share for the same period in 2022.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses increased $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Interest income increased $7.8 million when comparing the two periods due to an increase in the average tax-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 2.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 3.89% for the same period in 2023. Interest expense increased $5.0 million as the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased from 0.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 0.98% for the same period in 2023. The Company had average outstanding advances from the FHLB of $2.6 million with an average rate of 5.49% and average outstanding borrowings under the Federal Reserve Bank’s BTFP of $6.4 million with an average rate of 5.03% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s total average outstanding balance of borrowings during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $9.0 million with an average rate of 5.17%. There were no outstanding borrowed funds during 2022. As a result of the changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the tax-equivalent interest rate spread increased from 2.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 2.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), as amended, and commonly referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss model ("CECL"), under the modified retrospective method. The adoption replaced the allowance for loan losses with the ACL on loans on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and replaced the related provision for loan losses with the provision for credit losses on loans on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon adoption, the Company recorded an increase in the beginning ACL on loans of $561,000, increasing the ACL on loans as a percentage of loans receivable to 1.29% as compared to 1.20% at December 31, 2022 prior to adoption. In addition, the Company established an ACL related to unfunded loan commitments of $131,000 upon adoption of CECL. The use of the modified retrospective method of adoption resulted in the Company recording a $529,000 reduction (net of tax) in retained earnings as of January 1, 2023.

Based on management’s analysis of the ACL on loans and unfunded loan commitments, the provision for credit losses increased from $550,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to $833,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Bank recognized net charge-offs of $380,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $67,000 for the same period in 2022.

Noninterest income decreased $184,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to decreases in gains on the sale of loans and commission and fee income of $403,000 and $354,000, respectively. These were partially offset by increases in ATM and debit card fees and service charges on deposit accounts of $223,000 and $67,000, respectively, in addition to a decrease of $179,000 in the unrealized loss on equity securities. In addition, the Company recognized a $49,000 gain on sale of securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to no such gain during the same period in 2022.

The $49,000 net gain on sale of securities was a result of the Company’s regular evaluation of its entire securities portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company selected and sold securities available for sale with a market value of $20.2 million and an amortized cost basis of $20.3 million resulting in a net loss of $108,000. The net loss was more than offset by the $157,000 gain on sale of the Company’s VISA Class B stock in September 2023. The strategy for both sales was the enhancement of long-term earnings.

Noninterest expenses increased $760,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. This was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits, data processing expenses, and other expenses of $345,000, $316,000 and $268,000, respectively, when comparing the two periods. The increase in other expenses was due primarily to an increase in FDIC insurance premiums of $129,000 and general inflationary costs across multiple expenses. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $148,000 and $57,000 in professional fees and occupancy and equipment expenses, respectively.

Income tax expense increased $254,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 15.3% for the same period in 2022.

Total assets were $1.14 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $1.15 billion at December 31, 2022. Net loans receivable increased $44.4 million from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 while total cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale decreased $34.9 million and $20.7 million, respectively, during the same period. Deposits decreased $42.9 million from $1.06 billion at December 31, 2022 to $1.02 billion at September 30, 2023. The Bank had $15.0 million in advances outstanding from the FHLB and $13.0 million in borrowings outstanding through the Federal Reserve Bank’s BTFP at September 30, 2023 compared to no borrowed funds outstanding at December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets (consisting of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and foreclosed real estate) increased from $1.4 million at December 31, 2022 to $1.6 million at September 30, 2023.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED):

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow for better comparability with prior periods, as well as with peers in the industry who provide a similar presentation, and provide a further understanding of the Company's ongoing operations. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. The following table summarizes the non-GAAP financial measures derived from amounts reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements and reconciles those non-GAAP financial measures with the comparable GAAP financial measures.
