Insights

South Plains Financial's Q2 2024 earnings show a mixed bag of results. Net income fell significantly year-over-year from $29.7 million to $11.1 million, largely due to the one-time gain from the Windmark Insurance Agency sale in 2023. However, the quarterly growth in net income from $10.9 million to $11.1 million is a positive sign of stability and growth in the core business.

The net interest margin (NIM) increased slightly to 3.63% from 3.56% in Q1 2024, indicating effective management of interest income and expenses. This is particularly impressive given the environment of higher interest rates, which generally increases the cost of deposits.

One concerning aspect is the rise in nonperforming assets from 0.10% in Q1 2024 to 0.57% in Q2 2024, though it aligns more closely with the 0.51% seen in Q2 2023. The movement of a multifamily property loan to nonaccrual status suggests that while the credit culture is proactive, there are underlying risks in the loan portfolio.

For retail investors, the increasing tangible book value per share to $25.45 from $24.87 in Q1 2024 is encouraging. It indicates that the company is generating value, even in a mixed economic environment. However, the higher average cost of deposits and flat interest expenses could become headwinds if interest rates continue to rise.

South Plains Financial has shown robust performance in certain areas, such as loan growth and net interest income. The loan portfolio grew by $82.5 million QoQ, mainly driven by direct-energy loans and single-family property loans. This kind of organic growth is a good sign of underlying demand in these sectors.

Notably, the company reduced its noninterest-bearing deposits to $951.6 million, reflecting strategic adjustments to manage liquidity. Though noninterest-bearing deposits remain a significant part of the total deposit base, this reduction could signal a shift in customer behavior or competitive pressures.

The increase in provisions for credit losses from $830 thousand to $1.8 million is another point to consider. It indicates the company is preparing for potential future defaults, which could be a prudent move given the current economic conditions.

Overall, South Plains Financial appears well-capitalized with a 16.86% total risk-based capital ratio, well above the regulatory minimum. However, investors should keep an eye on nonperforming assets and provisions for credit losses as potential risk factors.

LUBBOCK, Texas, July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- South Plains Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPFI) (“South Plains” or the “Company”), the parent company of City Bank (“City Bank” or the “Bank”), today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $11.1 million, compared to $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $29.7 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the sale of Windmark Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Windmark”) in the second quarter of 2023, which resulted in a gain of $33.5 million before taxes and related expenses.
  • Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.66, compared to $0.64 for the first quarter of 2024 and $1.71 for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Average cost of deposits for the second quarter of 2024 was 243 basis points, compared to 241 basis points for the first quarter of 2024 and 169 basis points for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.63% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.56% for the first quarter of 2024 and 3.65% for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.57% at June 30, 2024, compared to 0.10% at March 31, 2024 and 0.51% at June 30, 2023.
  • Return on average assets for the second quarter of 2024 was 1.07% annualized, compared to 1.04% annualized for the first quarter of 2024 and 2.97% annualized for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Tangible book value (non-GAAP) per share was $24.15 as of June 30, 2024, compared to $23.56 as of March 31, 2024 and $21.82 as of June 30, 2023.
  • The consolidated total risk-based capital ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2024 were 16.86%, 12.61%, and 11.81%, respectively. These ratios significantly exceeded the minimum regulatory levels necessary to be deemed “well-capitalized”.

Curtis Griffith, South Plains’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our second quarter results demonstrate our successful efforts to drive profitability and returns as we continue to strive to be a high performing bank. Strength in the quarter came from robust loan growth which lifted the yield on our loan portfolio and contributed to our net interest margin expansion. We also continued to closely manage our liquidity with a focus on maximizing the profitability and returns of the Bank. This led to a modest reduction in customer deposits as we worked to keep deposit costs steady through the quarter. Importantly, we believe competitive pressures for deposits have started to ease while new loan yields have remained robust, leading to our solid net interest margin expansion in the quarter. We also continue to aggressively manage the credit quality of our loan portfolio, having moved a multi-family property loan to nonaccrual during the period. This is a loan that we have had rated substandard since June of last year and have been closely monitoring and proactively working on the credit over that time period. Our actions demonstrate our credit culture, which is focused on identifying problems early, working with our borrowers and taking the appropriate steps to resolve challenges. Looking forward, we believe we are in a solid position as the credit quality of our loan portfolio is strong, we have ample opportunities to drive organic growth across our markets, and we continue to significantly exceed the minimum regulatory levels necessary for the Company and the Bank to be deemed well capitalized.”

Results of Operations, Quarter Ended June 30, 2024

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $35.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $34.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. Net interest margin, calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.63% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 3.56% for the first quarter of 2024 and 3.65% for the second quarter of 2023. The average yield on loans was 6.60% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 6.53% for the first quarter of 2024 and 5.94% for the second quarter of 2023. The average cost of deposits was 243 basis points for the second quarter of 2024, which is 2 basis points higher than the first quarter of 2024 and 74 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2023.

Interest income was $59.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $58.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $50.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. Interest income increased $481 thousand in the second quarter of 2024 from the first quarter of 2024, which was primarily comprised of an increase of $1.6 million in loan interest income and a decrease of $930 thousand in interest income on other interest-earning assets. The growth in loan interest income was due to an increase in average loans of $68.1 million and a rise of 7 basis points in the yield on loans. The decrease in interest income on other interest-earning assets was predominately a result of deploying liquidity into loans during the quarter. Interest income increased $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase of average loans of $188.5 million and higher market interest rates during the period, resulting in growth of $7.7 million in loan interest income, and a higher liquidity level year over year.

Interest expense was $23.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $23.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $16.2 million for the second quarter of 2023. Interest expense was flat compared to the first quarter of 2024 and increased $7.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. The $7.1 million increase was primarily as a result of significantly higher short-term interest rates on interest-bearing liabilities, with the increase being mainly comprised of interest expense on deposits. Additionally, interest-bearing deposits were higher during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, which also contributed to the higher interest expense.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense

Noninterest income was $12.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $47.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The increase from the first quarter of 2024 was primarily due to increases of $1.0 million in bank card services and interchange revenue mainly as a result of continued growth in customer card usage and incentives received during the period and $408 thousand in income from investments in Small Business Investment Companies. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $548 thousand in mortgage banking revenues, mainly from a decrease of $735 thousand in the fair value adjustment of the mortgage servicing rights assets as interest rates that affect the value were relatively flat after rising modestly in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the $33.5 million gain on sale of Windmark in the second quarter of 2023 and a decrease of $1.9 million in mortgage banking activities revenue. The decrease of $1.9 million in mortgage banking revenues was mainly from a decline of $1.1 million in the fair value adjustment of the mortgage servicing rights assets as interest rates that affect the value were relatively flat after rising modestly in the second quarter of 2023 and an increase of $14.3 million in originations of mortgage loans held for sale due to typical seasonality.

Noninterest expense was $32.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $31.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $40.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The $642 thousand increase from the first quarter of 2024 was largely the result of a rise of $436 thousand in mortgage commission expense as mortgage loan originations increased. The decrease in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 was largely the result of second quarter 2023 activities of $4.5 million in personnel and transaction expenses as part of the aforementioned Windmark sale plus related incentive compensation and a $3.4 million loss on the sale of securities.

Loan Portfolio and Composition

Loans held for investment were $3.09 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $3.01 billion as of March 31, 2024 and $2.98 billion as of June 30, 2023. The $82.5 million, or 2.7%, increase during the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the first quarter of 2024 remained relationship-focused and occurred primarily in direct-energy loans, seasonal agricultural-related loans, and single-family property loans, partially offset by decreases in consumer auto loans. As of June 30, 2024, loans held for investment increased $115.2 million, or 3.9%, from June 30, 2023, primarily attributable to strong organic loan growth, occurring mainly in multi-family property loans, direct-energy loans, and single-family property loans, partially offset by decreases in consumer auto loans.

Deposits and Borrowings

Deposits totaled $3.62 billion as of June 30, 2024, compared to $3.64 billion as of March 31, 2024 and $3.57 billion as of June 30, 2023. Deposits decreased by $14.1 million, or 0.4%, in the second quarter of 2024 from March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, deposits increased $50.0 million, or 1.4%, from June 30, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $951.6 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to $974.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and $1.10 billion as of June 30, 2023. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 26.3% of total deposits as of June 30, 2024. The quarterly change in total deposits was mainly due to a modest decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. The year-over-year increase in total deposits was primarily the result of growth of $71 million in brokered deposits in the third quarter of 2023 given the overall focus in the banking industry on improving liquidity.

Asset Quality

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2024 of $1.8 million, compared to $830 thousand in the first quarter of 2024 and $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The provision during the first quarter of 2024 was largely attributable to net charge-off activity, increased loan balances, and higher nonperforming loans during the quarter.

The ratio of allowance for credit losses to loans held for investment was 1.40% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 1.40% as of March 31, 2024 and 1.45% as of June 30, 2023.

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.57% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 0.10% as of March 31, 2024 and 0.51% as of June 30, 2023. A previously classified $20.6 million multi-family property credit was placed on nonaccrual status in the second quarter of 2024 after the maturity date was accelerated. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.10% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 0.13% for the first quarter of 2024 and 0.05% for the second quarter of 2023.

Capital

Book value per share increased to $25.45 at June 30, 2024, compared to $24.87 at March 31, 2024. The change was primarily driven by $8.8 million of net income after dividends paid. Tangible common equity to tangible assets (non-GAAP) increased 22 basis points to 9.44% in the second quarter of 2024.
