Insights

The financial results reported by Burke & Herbert indicate a mixed performance with a year-over-year decrease in net income, despite an increase in total loans and deposits. The dividend declaration of $0.53 per share is a key factor for income-focused investors, reflecting the company's ability to generate cash and return it to shareholders. The reported increase in funding costs is a concern, as it suggests pressure on the bank's net interest margin in a rising interest rate environment, which could impact future profitability.

Moreover, the loan-to-deposit ratio of 70% is within a healthy range, indicating a balance between loan generation and deposit collection. However, the significant drop in net income for the year, from $44.0 million to $22.7 million, requires close monitoring as it may signal underlying challenges in the bank's operations or market conditions that could affect future performance and investor sentiment.

The merger with Summit Financial Group is a strategic move that could reshape the competitive landscape and result in cost synergies and expanded market presence. The approval by shareholders and the pending regulatory approvals are critical milestones in this process. The merger's impact on the company's market share and operational efficiency will be key areas to watch, as they can significantly influence the company's long-term growth trajectory and stock performance.

Furthermore, the company's listing on the Nasdaq stock exchange and relocation to a new corporate center are indicative of a forward-looking growth strategy. These factors could improve investor perception and liquidity of the company's shares, potentially attracting a broader investor base and increasing the stock's visibility in the market.

The reported financials of Burke & Herbert reflect broader economic trends, such as the impact of a rising interest rate environment on funding costs. The bank's strategic response to these challenges, including maintaining a strong liquidity position and a stable asset quality, demonstrates resilience amidst economic headwinds. The increase in loan balances and higher rates contributing to interest income growth is a positive sign of the bank's ability to capitalize on economic conditions.

However, the increase in interest expense outpacing interest income growth highlights the sensitivity of the banking sector to rate fluctuations. The bank's well-capitalized status, with Common Equity Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios well above regulatory requirements, provides a cushion against potential economic downturns and financial market volatility.

Results of Operations

Fourth Quarter 2023 - Comparison to prior year quarter

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $5.1 million or $8.3 million lower than the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to merger-related costs, increased funding costs, and the sale of corporate buildings that resulted in a $4.5 million gain in the prior year quarter, partially offset by a recapture of credit loss provision in the current quarter.

Total revenue (non-GAAP²) for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $27.1 million or 16% lower than the three months ended December 31, 2022, and included $27.3 million in interest and fees on loans and $10.4 million in investment security income, which was a 29% increase and a 7% decrease, respectively, over the prior year three months ended December 31, 2022. Overall, interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was $38.2 million or 17% higher than the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in interest income for the Company's loans was due to increased loan balances and higher rates, and the interest income decrease in investment securities was due to a lower level of investment securities. Loans, net of allowance for credit losses, ended the quarter at $2.1 billion or 11% higher than December 31, 2022, while the investment portfolio fair value ended the quarter at $1.2 billion or 9% lower than the prior year quarter.

The increase in interest income was offset by an increase in interest expense, which was $15.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, or $11.2 million higher than the prior year quarter. The rapid rise in the interest rate environment resulted in an increase in the Company's cost of funds that outpaced the resulting benefit of higher rates on assets. The Company's deposit and borrowing interest expense was $12.5 million and $3.4 million, or $10.5 million and $0.7 million higher, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Total deposits ended the quarter at $3.0 billion, which was slightly higher than the balance in the prior year. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased by 14% to $830.3 million and borrowed funds decreased by 21% to $272.0 million from the prior year quarter ended December 31, 2022, reflecting the changing deposit mix from non-interest-bearing to interest-bearing, which increased by 11%, resulting in higher interest expense. Overall, net interest income decreased by $5.6 million from the prior year quarter.

Non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, increased by $0.6 million from the same period last year and was $4.8 million in the current period. The increase in other non-interest income was primarily due to the strategic sale of securities that resulted in a loss of $0.5 million in the prior year quarter.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a recapture of credit losses of $0.8 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $0.1 million in the prior year quarter due to improving portfolio credit quality. Total revenue (non-GAAP²) after provision for credit losses was $27.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, which was a decrease of 13% compared to the same period last year.

Non-interest expense increased by $5.8 million, or 35%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023, from the prior year three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to other non-interest expenses associated with merger-related activities. The Company incurred expenses during the fourth quarter of 2023 related to the pending merger with Summit that included legal, consulting, investment banking, and integration-ready related costs. In addition, the prior year quarter non-interest expense also included the gain on sale of corporate buildings.

As of December 31, 2023, total shareholders' equity was $314.8 million or $41.3 million higher than December 31, 2022, primarily the result of higher fair value marks for the security portfolio resulting in lower accumulated other comprehensive loss by $36.0 million.

Twelve months ended December 31, 2023 - Comparison to prior full year period

Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $22.7 million or $21.3 million lower than the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to increased funding costs, listing and merger-related costs, and the change in provision for credit losses that included a recapture of credit losses in the prior full year period.

Total revenue (non-GAAP²) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $111.7 million or 8% lower than the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and included $101.8 million in interest and fees on loans and $42.8 million in investment security income, which was a 38% increase and an 11% increase, respectively, over the prior full year period. Overall, interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, was $146.9 million or 30% higher than the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The increase in interest income for the Company's loans was due to increased loan balances and higher rates and the interest income increase on investment securities was due to higher rates.

The increase in interest income was offset by an increase in interest expense, which was $53.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, or $44.2 million higher than the prior full year period. The rapidly rising rate environment resulted in an increase in the Company's cost of funds that outpaced the resulting benefit of higher rates on assets. The Company's deposit and borrowing interest expense was $39.2 million and $13.9 million, or $35.5 million and $8.7 million higher, respectively, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, than for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Overall, net interest income decreased by $9.9 million from the prior full year period.

Non-interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, increased $0.9 million from the same full year period last year to $18.0 million. The increase was primarily due to higher other non-interest income revenue of $0.5 million. Within other non-interest income, the Company received an increase in dividend income from the Federal Home Loan Banks and increased fee income from customer swap activity when compared to the prior full year period ended December 31, 2022. The Company also recognized lower losses on the sale of securities resulting in a year-over-year increase of $0.3 million. This increase in non-interest income was partially offset by lower income generated from service charges and fees, which decreased by $0.2 million.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.2 million compared to a recapture of credit losses of $7.5 million in the prior full year period. The provision recapture, in 2022, was a result of removing COVID-19 qualitative factors and the sale of a non-performing loan note. Total revenue (non-GAAP²) after provision for credit losses was $111.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, which was a decrease of 13% compared to the same full year period last year and primarily due to the change in provision for credit losses and higher funding costs.

Non-interest expense increased by $10.5 million, or 14%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, from the prior year twelve months. The increase was primarily driven by other non-interest expenses, which increased by $8.6 million due to costs associated with the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq stock exchange and the filing of a Form 10 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register our common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together, "Listing-related"), and with costs incurred for the pending merger with Summit. Additionally, the Company sold corporate buildings for a gain in the prior year, which lowered other non-interest expense for the prior full year period.

As of December 31, 2023, our Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted asset and Total risk-based capital to risk-weighted asset ratios were 16.8% and 17.9%, respectively, and significantly above the well-capitalized requirements of 6.5% and 10%, respectively.

Operating net income is a non-GAAP measure that is derived from net income adjusted for significant items. The Company believes that operating net income is useful in periods with certain significant items, such as listing-related or merger-related expenses. The operating net income is more reflective of management's ability to grow the business and manage expenses. The Company only incurred these significant items beginning from the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total revenue is a non-GAAP measure and is derived from total interest income less total interest expense plus total non-interest income. We believe that total revenue is a useful tool to determine how the Company is managing its business and demonstrates how stable our revenue sources are from period to period.

Pretax, pre-provision earnings (non-GAAP)	$ 25,275	$ 44,833

Pretax, pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP measure and is based on adjusting income before income taxes and to exclude provision for (recapture of) credit losses. We believe that pretax, pre-provision earnings is a useful tool to help evaluate the ability to provide for credit costs through operations and provides an additional basis to compare results between periods by isolating the impact of provision for (recapture of) credit losses, which can vary significantly between periods.

The interest income earned on certain earning assets is completely or partially exempt from federal income tax. As such, these tax-exempt instruments typically yield lower returns than taxable investments. To provide more meaningful comparisons of net interest income, we use net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent (FTE) basis by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments. FTE net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit on certain financial interest earning assets, whose interest is tax-exempt, to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. Management believes FTE net interest income is a standard practice in the banking industry, and when net interest income is adjusted on an FTE basis, yields on taxable, nontaxable, and partially taxable assets are comparable; however, the adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income and this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP. FTE net interest income is only used for calculating FTE net interest margin, which is calculated by annualizing FTE net interest income and then dividing by the average earning assets. The tax-rate used for this adjustment is 21%. Net interest income shown elsewhere in this presentation is GAAP net interest income.
