Insights

Financial Analyst

Origin Bancorp's Q4 2024 results reveal a complex picture of strategic repositioning amid challenging market conditions. Net income declined to $14.3 million ($0.46 EPS) from $18.6 million in Q3, though this decline masks several important underlying trends.

The bank's core performance shows resilience, with net interest income reaching $78.3 million, its highest level in two years. The NIM-FTE expansion of 15% basis points demonstrates successful deposit cost management, as interest-bearing liability costs decreased by 40% basis points.

The strategic bond portfolio optimization, while resulting in a $14.6 million loss, represents a calculated move to enhance long-term profitability. The trade-off appears favorable with an estimated $5.6 million annual net interest income benefit and a relatively quick 2.4-year earn-back period. This positions the bank better for the anticipated lower rate environment in 2025.

Credit quality metrics warrant attention, with nonperforming loans increasing to 0.99% of total loans, though this appears manageable given the strong 121.41% allowance coverage ratio. The resolution of the East Texas banker situation, while still ongoing, shows progress with decreasing classified loan exposure.

The newly announced 'Optimize Origin' initiative, targeting branch consolidation and efficiency improvements, demonstrates management's proactive approach to enhance profitability. The expected $21 million in pre-tax pre-provision earnings improvement and $4.6 million in annual occupancy expense reduction should help achieve the >1% ROAA target by Q4 2025.

Notable balance sheet shifts include a $383.1 million reduction in loans and a strategic $351.4 million decrease in higher-cost brokered deposits, indicating a deliberate move toward a more efficient funding structure.

RUSTON, La., Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Origin Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: OBK) (“Origin,” “we,” “our” or the “Company”), the holding company for Origin Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $14.3 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to net income of $18.6 million, or $0.60 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Pre-tax, pre-provision (“PTPP”)⁽¹⁾ earnings was $12.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to $28.3 million for the linked quarter.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $76.5 million, or $2.45 diluted earnings per share, representing a decrease of $0.26, or 9.6%, from diluted earnings per share of $2.71 for the year ended December 31, 2023. Pre-tax, pre-provision (“PTPP”)⁽¹⁾ earnings for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $104.7 million, representing a decrease of $18.0 million, or 14.6%, from the year ended December 31, 2023.

“I am excited about where we are going as a company as we enter 2025 with an organizational commitment to what Optimize Origin means to all of our stakeholders. This initiative is the continual enhancement of our award-winning culture and the drive for elite financial performance,” said Drake Mills, chairman, president and CEO of Origin Bancorp, Inc. “Our team has worked hard over the past year creating and implementing a strategy that is the basis for the next evolution of our company.”

Optimize Origin

• Our newly announced initiative to drive elite financial performance and enhance our award-winning culture
• Built on three primary pillars:
  • Productivity, Delivery & Efficiency
  • Balance Sheet Optimization
  • Culture & Employee Engagement
• Established near term target of greater than a 1% ROAA run rate by 4Q25 and an ultimate target of top quartile ROAA
• Near term target will be achieved in part by branch consolidation, headcount reduction, securities optimization, capital optimization, and cash/liquidity management
• We believe the actions we have taken will drive earnings improvement of approximately $21 million annually on a pre-tax pre-provision basis.

Financial Highlights

• Our fully tax equivalent net interest margin (“NIM-FTE”) expanded 15 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. This expansion was driven primarily by a 40 basis point reduction in rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, offset by an 18 basis point decline in our yield on interest-earning assets.
• Net interest income was $78.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, reflecting an increase of $3.5 million, or 4.7%, compared to the linked quarter and is at its highest level in two years.
• Provision for credit loss benefit was $5.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to a provision for credit loss expense of $4.6 million in the linked quarter, representing a $10.0 million change from the linked quarter.
• Our bond portfolio optimization strategy, aimed at enhancing long-term yields and improving overall portfolio performance, positively impacted our NIM-FTE by three basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and is estimated to provide a total positive impact to NIM-FTE of seven basis points in the twelve months following the date of sale. We sold available-for-sale investment securities with a book value of $188.2 million and realized a loss of $14.6 million, which negatively impacted our diluted EPS by $0.37 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was $78.3 million, an increase of $3.5 million, or 4.7%, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $7.5 million decrease in interest expense paid on interest-bearing deposits and a $1.6 million increase in interest income earned on average interest-earning balances due from banks, partially offset by a decrease of $6.1 million in interest income earned on loans held for investment (“LHFI”).

The decrease in average rates and average balances of interest-bearing deposits during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, reduced interest expense by $6.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in average balances of interest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by a $256.3 million decrease in average time deposit balances, partially offset by a $190.5 million increase in average money market deposit balances. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits was 3.61% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 40 basis points, from 4.01% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

The $1.6 million increase in interest income earned on average interest-earning balances due from banks was primarily driven by a $165.6 million increase in average interest-earning balances due from banks which led to a $2.3 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a reduction in average yield.

The decrease in average rates and average principal balance of LHFI during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, resulted in decreases of $3.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, to interest income when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The average rate on LHFI was 6.47% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 20 basis points, compared to 6.67% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in average LHFI principal balance was primarily driven by decreases of $83.2 million, $43.7 million and $25.0 million in average construction/land/land development, commercial and industrial and mortgage warehouse lines of credit (“MW LOC”) loan balances.

The Federal Reserve Board sets various benchmark rates, including the federal funds rate, and thereby influences the general market rates of interest, including the loan and deposit rates offered by financial institutions. On September 18, 2024, the Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds target rate range by 50 basis points, to a range of 4.75% to 5.00%, marking the first rate reduction since early 2020. Subsequently, it implemented two additional reductions, with the current federal funds target range set to 4.25% to 4.50% on December 18, 2024. During the second half of 2024, the federal funds target range decreased 100 basis points from its recent cycle high.

Our NIM-FTE was 3.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, representing a 15- and a 14-basis-point increase compared to the linked quarter and the prior year same quarter, respectively. The yield earned on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was 5.91%, a decrease of 18 basis points compared to the linked quarter and an increase of five basis points compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was 3.64%, representing a 40- and 11-basis point decrease compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. The bond portfolio optimization strategy positively impacted our NIM-FTE by three basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we executed a bond portfolio optimization strategy aimed at enhancing long-term yields and improving overall portfolio performance. This strategy involved selling lower-yielding available-for-sale investment securities prior to their maturity and using the proceeds to purchase higher-yielding available-for-sale investment securities. As a result, we replaced securities with a total book value of $188.2 million and a weighted average yield of 1.51% with new securities totaling $173.7 million with a weighted average yield of 5.22%, realizing a loss of $14.6 million. The weighted average duration of the securities portfolio increased to 4.46 years as of December 31, 2024, compared to 4.21 years as of September 30, 2024. While the associated loss, net of the increase in interest income, resulted in a $0.35 negative impact to diluted EPS during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we believe the trade-off in yield represents an attractive opportunity with an estimated increase in annual net interest income of $5.6 million, an earn-back period of 2.4 years and a twelve month total positive impact to NIM-FTE of seven basis points.

        ___________________________

(1)		Please see the Loan Data schedule at the back of this document for additional information.
(2)		The ALCL to total LHFI, adjusted, is calculated by excluding the ALCL for MW LOC loans from the total LHFI ALCL in the numerator and excluding the MW LOC loans from the LHFI in the denominator. Due to their low-risk profile, MW LOC loans require a disproportionately low allocation of the ALCL.

As discussed previously in our Origin Bancorp, Inc. Earnings Releases, our credit metrics were negatively impacted by certain questioned activity involving a former banker in our East Texas market. Our investigation of this activity remains ongoing. During the current quarter, classified and nonperforming LHFI related to the questioned banker activity decreased $5.8 million and $3.8 million, respectively, from September 30, 2024. This decline was primarily driven by one $2.0 million classified loan paying off and, as a result of our on-going investigation and litigation, the decision to remove $3.3 million in classified/nonperforming LHFI balances due to results from a third-party forensic analysis. We released $3.2 million in provision for loan credit losses related to the questioned banker activity and recorded a net contingency reserve increase of $3.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. There was no material change in the level of past due LHFI principal balances between the current quarter and the linked quarter as a result of the questioned activity. While the forensic analysis is largely completed, we continue to work with the outside forensic accounting firm to confirm the bank’s identification and reconciliation of the activity. At this time, we continue to believe that any ultimate loss arising from the situation will not be material to our financial position. The Company has notified its insurance providers of anticipated claims resulting from this activity, but there is no consideration in the Company’s financial results of any potential insurance recoveries.

Our results included a credit loss provision benefit of $5.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily driven by a $5.5 million release of loan credit loss provision, $3.2 million of which was related to the questioned banker activity discussed in the previous paragraph. Also contributing to the release of the loan credit loss provision during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, compared to September 30, 2024, was a decrease of $237.0 million in total LHFI excluding MW LOC and an increase in loan recoveries of $879,000. Net charge-offs decreased $10.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to total charge-offs of $2.0 million in the current quarter compared to total charge-offs of $11.2 million in the linked quarter consisting primarily of three commercial and industrial loan relationships with charge-offs totaling $10.4 million. Nonperforming LHFI increased $10.7 million for the current quarter compared to the linked quarter, reflecting an increase in the percentage of nonperforming LHFI to LHFI to 0.99% compared to 0.81% for the linked quarter. The increase in nonperforming loans was primarily driven by four loan relationships totaling $14.4 million at December 31, 2024, with single-family residential real estate loans totaling $8.1 million of the increase. Classified loans increased $11.3 million to $118.8 million at December 31, 2024.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was a negative $330,000, a decrease of $16.3 million from the linked quarter, primarily driven by decreases of $14.8 million and $1.5 million in the change in gain (loss) on sales of securities, net and insurance commission and fee income, respectively.

The decrease in gain (loss) on sales of securities, net, during the current quarter when compared to the linked quarter was due to the execution of the bond portfolio optimization strategy discussed above. The loss on the sale of securities negatively impacted our diluted EPS by $0.37 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.

The decrease in insurance commission and fee income was primarily due to the seasonal nature of insurance income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was $65.4 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 4.6% from the linked quarter. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $3.4 million and $1.6 million in other noninterest expense and occupancy and equipment expense, net, respectively, that was partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 million in salaries and employee benefit expense.

The increase in other noninterest expense was primarily due to $3.1 million in contingency expense related to certain questioned activity involving a former banker in our East Texas market, as described in the Credit Quality section above. We had previously recorded a $3.2 million provision for loan credit losses and a $1.2 million contingency reserve during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. As a result of our on-going investigation of this matter, and to more accurately reflect the nature of the expense, we released the provision expense. This resulted in a reduction to our loan credit loss allowance through provision expense and an increase of our contingency reserve in other noninterest expense.

The $1.6 million increase in occupancy and equipment, net was primarily due to an increase in rent associated with the accounting for our strategic Optimize Origin initiative which includes consolidation of six banking centers, four in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, with one each in the Louisiana and Mississippi markets. We expect to close these six banking centers at the end of February 2025, which is expected to reduce our occupancy expense by approximately $3.6 million annually. These branch closures combined with the two branch closures that occurred mid-year 2024 are expected to reduce our annual occupancy expense by $4.6 million in total.

The decrease in salaries and employee benefit expense was primarily due to an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”) of $1.7 million that was recorded in the current quarter and related to the operations of BTH Bank, N.A., which we acquired in 2022. The ERC is a refundable tax credit for certain eligible businesses that had employees affected during the COVID-19 pandemic.

(1)		Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming/nonaccrual loans and property acquired through foreclosures or repossession, as well as bank-owned property not in use and listed for sale.
(2)		Includes multi-family real estate.
(3)		Past due LHFI are defined as loans 30 days or more past due.
(4)		The ALCL to total LHFI, adjusted is calculated by excluding the ALCL for MW LOC loans from the total LHFI ALCL in the numerator and excluding the MW LOC loans from the LHFI in the denominator. Due to their low-risk profile, MW LOC loans require a disproportionately low allocation of the ALCL.
