Insights

The reported financial results of First Mid Bancshares for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023, reflect a robust performance, particularly highlighting the successful integration of Blackhawk Bank. The net interest margin (NIM) of 3.33% is a significant indicator of the bank's earning potential from its lending activities and investments. This figure is above the industry average, which typically hovers around 3%, indicating efficient asset utilization and a well-structured balance sheet. The growth in net interest income by 25.8% compared to the same quarter last year is substantial and suggests that the merger with Blackhawk has been accretive to earnings.

The loan portfolio's expansion, with a notable increase in Ag operating loans, indicates a diversified and growing demand across loan categories. However, the slight decrease in total deposits raises questions about the bank's liquidity management and deposit retention strategies. The efficiency ratio, slightly up from the previous year at 58.9%, suggests that the bank maintains a relatively stable overhead cost relative to its revenue, despite the integration costs associated with the Blackhawk merger. This ratio is a critical measure of a bank's operational efficiency, with lower percentages indicating better performance.

From a capitalization perspective, the reported capital levels such as Total capital to risk-weighted assets at 14.84% and Common equity tier 1 capital at 11.62% indicate a strong capital buffer above regulatory requirements. This robust capital position provides the bank with a safety net against potential losses and supports future growth opportunities. The effective tax rate of 16.6% for the quarter, influenced by state tax refunds, is lower than the annual rate of 22.0%, which could be seen as a one-off benefit enhancing the quarterly earnings.

First Mid Bancshares' performance, including the strategic sale of bonds to reposition the balance sheet, has likely contributed to the improved net interest margin. This balance sheet optimization, coupled with the reduction of brokered CDs and wholesale borrowings, indicates a proactive approach to managing interest rate risk and cost of funds in a rising rate environment. The market will view positively the company's ability to navigate the complexities of financial markets and make adjustments that bolster financial health.

Furthermore, the asset quality metrics, such as the low ratio of non-performing loans to total loans at 0.36% and the high ACL to non-performing loans at 341.19%, signify strong credit risk management. These figures are particularly reassuring to investors and stakeholders, as they suggest that the bank is well-prepared to absorb potential credit losses without significant impact on profitability. The stable asset quality, even after the merger with Blackhawk, is indicative of effective due diligence and risk assessment processes.

Investor sentiment is likely to be influenced by the declaration of a regular quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share, which represents a tangible return on investment and signals confidence in the bank's ongoing financial stability. The company's strategic decisions, such as the merger and subsequent financial maneuvers, will be closely monitored by the market for indications of sustained growth and profitability.

From a legal and regulatory standpoint, the completion of the merger between First Mid Bancshares and Blackhawk Bank, followed by the successful integration, is noteworthy. Mergers and acquisitions in the banking sector are subject to rigorous scrutiny by regulators and a seamless transition without any reported regulatory issues is a positive outcome. The legal complexities involved in such transactions are significant and the absence of litigation or regulatory penalties in the announcement suggests that the merger was executed with a high degree of legal diligence.

The absence of any mention of legal contingencies related to the merger or operational activities in the financial report is also a positive sign. It suggests that the company has effectively mitigated legal risks that could arise from the integration process. However, stakeholders should be aware that post-merger integration can sometimes reveal latent legal issues that may not be immediately apparent. Ongoing monitoring of legal disclosures in subsequent reporting periods will be important to assess the long-term success of the merger from a legal perspective.

MATTOON, Ill., Jan. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FMBH) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.

Highlights

  • Net income of $18.1 million, or $0.76 diluted EPS
  • Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $22.4 million, or $0.94 diluted EPS
  • Completed the merger and integration of Blackhawk Bank (“Blackhawk”)
  • Sold additional bonds to reposition balance sheet helping drive a strong net interest margin of 3.33%
  • Strong asset quality performance continued with minimal net charge offs for the quarter
  • Board of Directors declares regular quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share

“We capped off 2023 with a strong quarter of financial results,” said Joe Dively, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This was the first full quarter inclusive of Blackhawk and the value of the transaction is evident in our results. We completed another step in the Blackhawk related balance sheet repositioning by selling additional bonds with proceeds of $79.7 million used to reduce brokered CDs and wholesale borrowings, improving our net interest margin.”

“During the quarter, we completed the merger of Blackhawk into First Mid Bank & Trust and the related core system conversion. Our employees worked extremely hard to make the transition as seamless as possible for our customers in what was our largest, most complex integration. I am proud of the efforts of our team and their support of our customers,” Dively concluded.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by $7.0 million, or 13.9% compared to the third quarter of 2023. Interest income and interest expense increased in the quarter by $9.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily driven by the addition of Blackhawk, loan growth, and the repricing of loans with higher interest rates. Accretion income for the quarter was $4.6 million, an increase compared to $2.6 million in the prior quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by the addition of Blackhawk and higher interest rates. During the quarter, the Company sold $79.7 million of bonds and used the proceeds to payoff maturing brokered CDs and wholesale borrowings.            

In comparison to the fourth quarter of 2022, net interest income increased $11.8 million, or 25.8%. The increase was primarily driven by the addition of Blackhawk. For the same period, interest income increased by $29.2 million, while interest expense increased $17.4 million.                     

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis (non-GAAP), was 3.33% for the fourth quarter of 2023, which was 27 basis points higher compared to the prior quarter. Earning asset yields increased by 29 basis points and the average cost of funds increased 2 basis points.        

In comparison to the fourth quarter of last year, the net interest margin increased 26 basis points, with an average earning asset increase of 111 basis points versus the average cost of funds increase of 85 basis points.

Loan Portfolio
Total loans ended the quarter at $5.58 billion, representing an increase of $40.5 million. The growth was spread among several categories with the largest increase in Ag operating loans. Overall, loan demand slightly improved and we saw an increase in line draws during the period. Most of the new originations and renewed loans in the period were at rates in the 8.00% to 8.50% range. 

Asset Quality 
The fourth quarter was another strong period with respect to the Company’s asset quality metrics. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) increased by $0.4 million to $68.7 million with an ending ACL to total loans ratio of 1.23%. In addition to the ACL, an unearned discount of $49.9 million remains at quarter end. Provision expense was recorded in the amount of $0.6 million with net charge offs of $0.1 million in the quarter. Also, at the end of the fourth quarter, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.36%, and the ACL to non-performing loans was 341.19%.   The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.28% and nonperforming loans were $20.1 million at quarter end. For the quarter, special mention loans were $74.1 million and substandard loans were $28.9 million.        

Deposits
Total deposits ended the quarter at $6.12 billion, which represented a decrease of $222.7 million from the prior quarter. Of the decline, $73.2 million came from time deposits, including brokered, where the Company used proceeds from its bond sales to pay these off at maturity. The remaining portion of the decline in balances was driven primarily by seasonal cash flow operating needs of commercial customers. Noninterest bearing deposits increased by $9.2 million in the quarter. The Company’s average rate on cost of funds increased to 1.85% compared to 1.83% in the prior quarter and 1.00% in the fourth quarter of 2022.                

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income represented 31% of our total net revenues for the year.

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $21.8 million compared to $23.1 million in the third quarter of 2023.   Excluding securities gains for both periods, noninterest income increased $2.1 million in the current quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the full quarter benefit of Blackhawk, along with higher insurance revenues.     

In comparison to the fourth quarter of 2022, noninterest income increased $3.6 million, or 19.6%, due to a combination of organic growth and the addition of Blackhawk’s operating costs for the period.                  

Noninterest Expenses     
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $57.0 million compared to $47.1 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the full quarter of Blackhawk and approximately $5.6 million in nonrecurring acquisition related costs.

In comparison to the fourth quarter of 2022, noninterest expenses increased $17.7 million. In addition to $5.6 million in nonrecurring integration related costs during the period, the increase was primarily driven by the addition of Blackhawk.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, as adjusted in the non-GAAP reconciliation table herein, for the fourth quarter 2023 was 58.9% compared to 58.6% in the prior quarter and 58.1% for the same period last year.

Capital Levels, Dividend and Taxes
The Company’s capital levels remained strong and above the “well capitalized” levels. Capital levels ended the period as follows:

Total capital to risk-weighted assets 14.84%  
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 12.02%  
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 11.62%  
Leverage ratio 9.33%  
   

Tangible book value per share increased in the period to $22.20 on a combination of both earnings growth and improvement in the unrealized loss position in the bond portfolio impacting accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a regular quarterly dividend of $0.23 payable on March 1, 2024 for shareholders of record on February 16, 2024.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 16.6% and 22.0% for the year. The lower rate in the current period was primarily due to $0.8 million of refunds for amendments filed on Wisconsin state taxes.
