AURORA, IL / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2022 / Old Second Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company," "Old Second," "we," "us," and "our") (NASDAQ:OSBC), the parent company of Old Second National Bank (the "Bank"), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Our net income was $19.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $12.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022, and net income of $8.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes pre-tax amounts of $650,000 of acquisition related costs, net losses of $411,000 from branch sales, as well as $923,000 of pretax gains on the sale of our VISA credit card portfolio and a land trust portfolio, all related to our acquisition of West Suburban Bancorp, Inc. ("West Suburban") on December 1, 2021, was $19.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. See the discussion entitled "Non-GAAP Presentations" below and the tables beginning on page 17 that provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.

The increase in net income in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily due to net interest and dividend income of $55.6 million, which increased $10.3 million from the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to loan growth and market interest rate increases, and increased $33.0 million from the third quarter of 2021, as West Suburban loan and securities income, net of interest expense on acquired deposits, was included in the third quarter of 2022. The third quarter of 2022 also included a $548,000 pre-tax mark to market gain on mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs"), compared to a $82,000 pre-tax gain on MSRs in the second quarter of 2022, and a $282,000 pre-tax loss on MSRs in the third quarter of 2021.

Operating Results

• Third quarter 2022 net income was $19.5 million, reflecting an increase in earnings of $7.3 million from the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $11.1 million from the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes acquisition-related costs, net of gains on branch sales, a $743,000 pretax gain on a Visa credit card portfolio sale, and a $180,000 pretax gain on the sale of a land trust portfolio, was $19.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $5.8 million from adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022. There was no adjustment to net income for the quarter ending September 30, 2021.
• Net interest and dividend income was $55.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $10.3 million, or 22.8%, from the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $33.0 million, or 145.7%, from the third quarter of 2021.
• Interest and dividend income for the third quarter of 2022 was $58.0 million, an increase of $10.6 million from the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $33.2 million from the third quarter 2021. Growth in interest and dividend income in 2022 reflected the market interest rate increases in 2022, as well as the inclusion of West Suburban loan and securities income.
• Interest expense for the third quarter of 2022 was $2.4 million, an increase of $314,000 from the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $266,000 from the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in interest expense stems primarily from an increase in interest bearing deposits and the interest paid on short-term FHLB advances during the third quarter of 2022, which were partially offset by the pay down of $10.2 million of notes payable and other borrowings.
• We recorded a net provision for credit losses of $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a net provision for credit losses of $550,000 in the second quarter of 2022, and a $1.5 million release of provision expense in the third quarter of 2021. The increase in the net provision in the third quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a $244.3 million increase in total loans, growth in credit line utilization, as well as consideration given to macroeconomic factors, such as rising market interest rates, inflation and changes in the unemployment rate.
• Noninterest income was $11.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.3 million, or 24.8%, compared to $9.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $2.2 million, or 23.1%, compared to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2021. The increase from the prior quarter was primarily due to an increase in net mortgage banking income of $1.1 million, as well as a $1.2 million increase in other income due to a gain on a Visa portfolio sale and a gain on the sale of a land trust portfolio. Service charges on deposits increased for the third quarter of 2022 by $333,000 compared to the prior quarter and increased by $1.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2021. Card related income in the third quarter of 2022 was $2.7 million, a decrease of $314,000 from the second quarter 2022, and an increase of $1.0 million over the third quarter 2021. These increases in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2021, were partially offset by a decrease in net mortgage banking income of $1.1 million, primarily due to a decline in the volume of mortgages being originated due to rising market interest rates in 2022.
• Noninterest expense was $36.0 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 3.4% compared to $37.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, and an increase of $13.9 million, or 62.6%, compared to $22.1 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease from the second quarter of 2022 is the result of a decline in conversion-related data processing fees as well as a reduction in salary and employee benefit expense, partially offset by higher occupancy, furniture and equipment expense and card related expenses. Contributing to the year over year increase was $650,000 of acquisition costs in the third quarter of 2022 primarily in data processing and other expense, as well as a $411,000 net loss on branch sales. In addition, growth in salaries and employee benefits and occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses were recorded in the third quarter of 2022, primarily stemming from the additional employees and branches due to the West Suburban acquisition, as well as higher salary rates being paid in 2022.
• We had a provision for income tax of $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to a provision for income tax of $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 and a provision for income tax of $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2021. The increase in tax expense for the third quarter of 2022 over both prior periods was due to an increase in pre-tax income.
• On October 18, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 7, 2022, to stockholders of record as of October 28, 2022.

President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Eccher said "We are extremely pleased with our results this quarter. Our net interest margin is approaching four percent, loan balances are up 13% year to date through September 30, 2022, deposit trends are performing as expected and operating expenses remain well controlled. Our efficiency ratio in the third quarter was approximately 52% on a core basis and reflects not only the cost saves from our most recent acquisition, but also tremendous success in realizing returns on the investments in lending teams and sales people over the last twelve months. Credit remains very well behaved, though we remain mindful and diligent in monitoring trends both within the portfolio and more broadly. Third quarter return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.29% and 16.7%, respectively, and represent a return to the type of performance we had been accustomed prior to the pandemic.

"The return of relatively higher market interest rates has allowed us the opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the franchise that we are building here at Old Second. Asset repricing should remain robust in the coming quarters which will allow for further improvement in our core trends including additional expansion in the net interest margin. Deposit repricing is expected to remain excellent but will be modestly higher in the near future as we take the necessary steps to protect our greatest strength. The speed of interest rate changes this year does pose certain challenges as demonstrated by the unrealized loss position of our securities portfolio. However, we believe we have been extremely cautious and managed the risk relatively well. We remain invested at the short end of the yield curve with a weighted average portfolio duration at September 30^th of 2.65 years. We currently estimate that approximately half of the current loss position will have reversed in that time assuming the current yield curve remains consistent and spreads in the market persist. I am hopeful that we will begin delivering book value growth commensurate with our financial performance in the near future. We are excited for the future and believe we have the resources and momentum to focus on growth and building a better Old Second for our stockholders and communities."

The increase from the linked quarter was due to growth in commercial, leases and commercial real estate loans, net of paydowns, in the third quarter of 2022.

Non-GAAP Presentations

Management has disclosed in this earnings release certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate and measure our performance, including the presentation of adjusted net income, net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and our efficiency ratio calculations on a taxable equivalent basis. The net interest margin fully taxable equivalent is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Consistent with industry practice, management has disclosed the efficiency ratio including and excluding certain items, which is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 7.

We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe these measures provide investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability, and we believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing, and comparing past, present and future periods.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The tables beginning on page 17 provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
