Insights

Financial Analyst

Butterfield reported strong Q3 2024 results, with net income of $52.7 million ($1.16 per share), up from $50.6 million in Q2 and $48.7 million in Q3 2023. Key highlights:

• Return on equity of 20.3%
• Net interest margin of 2.61%, down 3 bps QoQ
• Efficiency ratio improved to 60.3% from 62.4% in Q2
• Deposits up 6.3% YTD to $12.7 billion
• $0.44 quarterly dividend declared
• 1 million shares repurchased at avg $37.00 per share

The results demonstrate Butterfield's ability to generate strong returns despite a challenging rate environment. Improved efficiency and stable non-interest income offset pressure on net interest margin. Capital management remains a focus, with continued dividends and share repurchases. The strong deposit growth and favorable economic conditions in key markets provide a solid foundation for future performance.

Banking Industry Expert

Butterfield's Q3 results highlight its resilience in a complex banking environment. The 2.61% net interest margin, while down slightly, remains robust compared to many peers. The bank's focus on fee income (comprising 38.9% of total revenue) provides valuable diversification.

The efficiency ratio improvement to 60.3% is noteworthy, indicating effective cost management. However, the increase in non-accrual loans to 1.9% of gross loans (up from 1.3% at year-end) warrants monitoring, though it's partially offset by a stable loan loss allowance.

Butterfield's strong capital position (CET1 ratio of 22.1%) and liquidity (64.6% of assets in cash and liquid investments) provide substantial buffers. The continued capital return via dividends and share repurchases, coupled with deposit growth, demonstrates management's confidence in the bank's financial health and future prospects.

Financial highlights for the third quarter of 2024:

• Net income of $52.7 million, or $1.16 per share, and core net income¹ of $52.8 million, or $1.16 per share
• Return on average common equity of 20.3% and core return on average tangible common equity¹ of 22.5%
• Net interest margin of 2.61%, cost of deposits of 1.91%
• Board declares dividend for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of $0.44 per share
• Repurchases of 1.0 million common shares at an average price of $37.00 per share

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Limited ("Butterfield" or the "Bank") (BSX: NTB.BH; NYSE: NTB) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Net income for the third quarter of 2024 was $52.7 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $50.6 million, or $1.09 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $48.7 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023. Core net income¹ for the third quarter of 2024 was $52.8 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, compared to $51.4 million, or $1.11 per diluted common share, for the previous quarter and $57.0 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023.

The return on average common equity for the third quarter of 2024 was 20.3% compared to 20.7% for the previous quarter and 20.6% for the third quarter of 2023. The core return on average tangible common equity¹ for the third quarter of 2024 was 22.5%, compared to 23.3% for the previous quarter and 26.1% for the third quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2024 was 60.3%, compared to 62.4% for the previous quarter and 64.1% for the third quarter of 2023. The core efficiency ratio¹ for the third quarter of 2024 was 60.2% compared with 61.8% in the previous quarter and 58.3% for the third quarter of 2023.

Michael Collins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Butterfield delivered strong results in the third quarter of 2024 through improved efficiency, stable non-interest income, and focused capital management. We have a high fee/income ratio and will continue to increase the proportion of fee revenue over time through acquisitions, while returning excess capital to our shareholders. Economic conditions in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and the Channel Islands remain favorable, with strong demand and contributions from both international business and tourism. As we enter a period of easing financial conditions, we expect to see better affordability for borrowing customers and a general pick-up in business activity."

Net income was up in the third quarter of 2024 versus the prior quarter primarily due to higher net interest income and lower non-interest expense, as well as a modest increase in non-interest income.

Net interest income (“NII”) for the third quarter of 2024 was $88.1 million, or $0.6 million higher compared with NII of $87.4 million in the previous quarter and down $2.1 million from $90.2 million in the third quarter of 2023. NII was higher during the third quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher average investable asset volume, which was partially offset by higher deposit costs and lower treasury yields. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the decreased NII in the third quarter of 2024 was due to higher deposit costs, that were slightly offset by higher yielding interest earning assets and a larger balance sheet.

Net interest margin (“NIM”) for the third quarter of 2024 was 2.61%, a decrease of 3 basis points from 2.64% in the previous quarter and down 15 basis points from 2.76% in the third quarter of 2023. NIM in the third quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the prior quarter and third quarter of 2023 due to mix shift to term deposits and lower treasury yields, partially offset by increased yields on investments.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2024 was $56.0 million, an increase of $0.4 million from $55.6 million in the previous quarter and $4.0 million higher than $52.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the prior quarter was due to higher card volume, one-off loan prepayment fees, and growth in asset management fees due to higher asset valuations. The increases were partially offset by lower unclaimed balances recognized into income. Non-interest income in the third quarter of 2024 was higher than the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to increases in asset management fees, as well as increased trust income from assets acquired from Credit Suisse.

Non-interest expenses were $88.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $91.1 million in the previous quarter and $92.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. Core non-interest expenses¹ of $88.6 million in the third quarter of 2024 were lower than the $90.3 million incurred in the previous quarter and higher than the $84.3 million incurred in the third quarter of 2023. Core non-interest expenses¹ in the third quarter of 2024 were lower compared to the prior quarter due to decreased professional and outside services costs. Compared to the third quarter of 2023, core non-interest expenses¹ were higher due to performance-based remuneration accruals and inflationary increases in staff healthcare costs and property cost; and increased expense arising from the recently implemented core banking software.

Period end deposit balances were $12.7 billion, an increase of 6.3% compared to $12.0 billion at December 31, 2023, primarily due to deposit increases in the Channel Islands, as well as a strengthened British pound. Average deposits were $12.4 billion in the quarter ended September 30, 2024, in-line with the prior quarter.

Tangible book value per share improved by $1.87 or 9.3% this quarter to $21.90 per share.

The Bank maintained its balanced capital return policy. The Board again declared a quarterly dividend of $0.44 per common share to be paid on November 19, 2024 to shareholders of record on November 5, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, Butterfield repurchased 1.0 million common shares under the Bank's existing share repurchase program.

The current total regulatory capital ratio as at September 30, 2024 was 24.3% as calculated under Basel III, compared to 25.4% as at December 31, 2023. Both of these ratios remain conservatively above the minimum Basel III regulatory requirements applicable to the Bank.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 COMPARED WITH THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2024

Net Income

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $52.7 million, up from $50.6 million in the prior quarter.

Movements in net income during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the previous quarter are attributable to the following:

• $0.4 million increase in non-interest income driven by (i) $0.6 million increase in banking fees due to one-off loan prepayment fees and increased card volumes; (ii) $0.6 million increase in asset management fees due to increases in asset valuations; (iii) offset by $0.9 million decrease in other non-interest income due to a decrease in unclaimed customer balances being recognized in revenue, and a $0.4 million decrease in foreign exchange revenue due to seasonality and lower volumes;
• $0.6 million increase in net interest income before provision for credit losses driven by an increased volume of interest earning assets, increased yields on new investment assets and additional day count. This was partially offset by decreased yields on treasury assets as market interest rates declined;
• $0.8 million increase in provision for credit losses driven by a commercial facility in Bermuda;
• $2.4 million decrease in non-interest expenses driven by (i) $1.9 million decrease in professional and outside services fees in the current quarter; and (ii) $0.4 million decrease in technology and communications from reduced depreciation on IT equipment and lower software maintenance costs; and
• $0.3 million increase in income tax expenses due to higher net income in the Channel Islands.

Non-Core Items¹

Non-core items resulted in expenses, net of gains, of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. Non-core items for the quarter included legal fees for corporate restructuring work in the Channel Islands.

Management does not believe that comparative period expenses, gains or losses identified as non-core are indicative of the results of operations of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.

BALANCE SHEET COMMENTARY AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 2023

Total Assets

Total assets of the Bank were $14.4 billion at September 30, 2024, an increase of $1.0 billion from December 31, 2023. The Bank maintained a highly liquid position at September 30, 2024, with $9.3 billion of cash, bank deposits, reverse repurchase agreements and liquid investments representing 64.6% of total assets, compared with 61.0% at December 31, 2023.

Loans Receivable

The loan portfolio totaled $4.6 billion at September 30, 2024, which was $0.1 billion lower than December 31, 2023 balances. The decrease was driven primarily by maturities and prepayments in excess of originations across the residential mortgage portfolios, partially offset by a strengthened British pound.

The allowance for credit losses at September 30, 2024 totaled $25.8 million, which remains flat from $25.8 million at December 31, 2023.

The loan portfolio represented 32.3% of total assets at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: 35.5%), while loans as a percentage of total deposits was 36.5% at September 30, 2024 (December 31, 2023: 39.6%). The decrease in both ratios was attributable principally to a decrease in loan balances at September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023.

As at September 30, 2024, the Bank had gross non-accrual loans of $89.6 million, representing 1.9% of total gross loans, an increase of $28.6 million from $61.0 million, or 1.3% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. The increase in non-accrual loans was driven by a commercial facility secured by real estate in Bermuda and residential mortgages in the Channel Islands and UK segment.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) decreased by $0.1 million compared to December 31, 2023 driven by the sale of a residential property in Bermuda.

Investment in Securities

The investment portfolio was $5.5 billion at September 30, 2024, which was $0.2 billion lower than the December 31, 2023 balances. The changes were attributable to paydowns and maturities in the portfolio.

The investment portfolio is made up of high-quality assets with 100% invested in A-or-better-rated securities. The investment book yield was 2.39% during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared with 2.30% during the previous quarter. Total net unrealized losses on the available-for-sale portfolio decreased to $117.1 million, compared with total net unrealized losses of $163.9 million at December 31, 2023, as a result of declining long-term US dollar interest rates.

Deposits

Average total deposit balances were consistent with the prior quarter at $12.4 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, while period end balances as at September 30, 2024 were $12.7 billion, an increase of $0.7 billion compared to December 31, 2023.

Assets Under Administration and Assets Under Management

Total assets under administration for the trust and custody businesses were $133.5 billion and $30.2 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2024, while assets under management were $6.0 billion at September 30, 2024. This compares with $132.4 billion, $30.3 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings

The table below shows the reconciliation of net income in accordance with US GAAP to core earnings, a non-GAAP measure, which excludes certain significant items that are included in our US GAAP results of operations. We focus on core net income, which we calculate by adjusting net income to exclude certain income or expense items that are not representative of our business operations, or “non-core”. Core net income includes revenue, gains, losses and expense items incurred in the normal course of business. We believe that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these non-core items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Bank and predicting future performance. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Bank on the same basis as management.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

Certain statements in this release involve the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We believe such measures provide useful information to investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with US GAAP; however, our non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, investors should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with US GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. See "Reconciliation of US GAAP Results to Core Earnings" for additional information.
