Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported GAAP net income of $70.9 million, a decrease from both the linked quarter and the same quarter in the previous year, indicates a contraction in profitability that may concern investors. The decline can be attributed to a one-time pre-tax expense for the FDIC special assessment, which is a significant factor affecting the net income figures. This assessment was levied in response to bank failures earlier in the year, which is an industry-wide impact, suggesting systemic risks that could potentially affect investor confidence in the banking sector.

Despite the decrease in net income, the company exhibits robust loan and deposit growth, with a 13.9% increase in average loans compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and a significant rise in average deposits. This growth trajectory is indicative of the company's expanding operations and market presence, which could signal future revenue potential. Additionally, the net interest margin improvement, albeit slight, points to an effective management of interest-bearing assets and liabilities in a dynamic interest rate environment.

Economist

The financial results show resilience in the face of economic challenges, with an increase in net interest income and average loans suggesting a healthy demand for credit. The company's loan-to-deposit ratio of 70.7% reflects a conservative lending approach that may shield it from potential credit risks. However, the decrease in net interest income year-over-year and the shift in deposit composition towards interest-bearing categories could be indicative of margin pressures in a rising interest rate environment.

Furthermore, the company's commentary on a 'muted but resilient macro-economic environment' for 2024 suggests cautious optimism. The acknowledgment of macroeconomic factors affecting business performance is crucial, as it highlights the external pressures that the banking sector may face, such as inflation, interest rate hikes and economic slowdown, which could impact profitability and growth prospects.

Market Research Analyst

The reported expansion of the net interest margin and the growth in fee income are positive indicators of the company's ability to capitalize on its revenue streams. The 11.8% year-over-year increase in noninterest income, driven by trust and securities processing and other income, demonstrates a diversified business model that can withstand fluctuations in interest-based revenue. Such diversification is often viewed favorably by investors as it may reduce the company's vulnerability to adverse economic conditions.

Additionally, the company's emphasis on asset quality, with net charge-offs of just 0.02% of average loans, reflects strong credit risk management. This exceptional asset quality is a reassuring sign for stakeholders, as it suggests that the company is well-equipped to manage potential loan defaults, which is particularly important in uncertain economic climates.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), a financial services company, announced net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $70.9 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, compared to $96.6 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023 (linked quarter) and $100.2 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. The results for the fourth quarter of 2023 include a pre-tax expense of $52.8 million for the industry-wide FDIC special assessment.

Net operating income, a non-GAAP financial measure reconciled later in this release to net income, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, was $112.0 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $98.4 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, for the linked quarter and $101.1 million, or $2.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Operating pre-tax, pre-provision income (operating PTPP), a non-GAAP measure reconciled later in this release to the components of net income before taxes, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, was $134.9 million, or $2.76 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $126.6 million, or $2.60 per diluted share, for the linked quarter, and $134.1 million, or $2.75 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. These operating PTPP results represent increases of 6.6% on a linked-quarter basis and 0.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022.

“We closed 2023 with strong fourth quarter performance, demonstrating the power and resilience of our diversified business model. Results were accentuated by continued loan and deposit growth, expanding net interest margin and net interest income, solid fee income growth and exceptional asset quality,” said Mariner Kemper, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our strong business performance and financial results were unfortunately muted by our share of the FDIC special assessment levied on banks to recoup the losses related to two of the bank failures in March 2023. I am incredibly proud of our associates who drove this performance, and deeply grateful for our loyal client base that grew with us through the much-exaggerated industry noise following the bank failures. While this was a challenging time for the industry, it was extremely rewarding to see how our company and customers came together to support each other, and the resulting positive growth and performance.”

Mr. Kemper continued, “Key highlights from our fourth quarter results included a 3.7% increase in net interest income from the linked quarter, facilitated by a 6.3% annualized increase in average loans, three basis points of net interest margin expansion, a 4.3% linked-quarter increase in average deposits, a 5.2% increase in fee income, and just 0.02% in net charge-offs. At December 31, 2023, our total deposits – which we describe as our raw material for growth – increased $3.2 billion to $35.8 billion compared to year-end 2022, and were $2.4 billion above September 30, 2023 balances. Looking ahead into 2024, we see a muted but resilient macro-economic environment, and we remain well-positioned with an attractive average loan-to-deposit ratio of 70.7%, strong capital levels, and a high-quality loan portfolio.”

Net interest income

• Fourth quarter 2023 net interest income totaled $230.5 million, an increase of $8.2 million, or 3.7%, from the linked quarter, driven primarily by continued growth in average loans and higher levels of liquidity, partially offset by higher interest expense.
• Average earning assets increased $933.7 million, or 2.5%, from the linked quarter, largely driven by an increase of $823.9 million in interest-bearing due from banks and $357.6 million in average loans, partially offset by a decrease of $179.2 million in average securities.
• Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $777.1 million, or 3.0%, from the linked quarter, primarily driven by an increase of $1.2 billion in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by decreases of $319.6 million in borrowed funds and $144.0 million in federal funds and repurchase agreements. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $104.1 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the linked quarter.
• Net interest margin for the fourth quarter was 2.46%, an increase of three basis points from the linked quarter, driven by increased loan yields, the benefit of free funds, and earning asset mix changes, partially offset by the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 13 basis points to 3.95%. Total cost of funds increased 12 basis points from the linked quarter to 2.87%. Both average loan yields and earning asset yields increased 13 basis points from the linked quarter.
• On a year-over-year basis, net interest income decreased $14.6 million, or 6.0%, driven by higher interest expense primarily due to an unfavorable mix shift in the composition of liabilities, as well as the impact of higher short-term interest rates on deposit costs. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.8 billion, or 13.9%, increase in average loans as well as the benefit from higher short-term interest rates on loan pricing and yields.
• Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, average earning assets increased $3.0 billion, or 8.6%, largely driven by the increase in average loans noted above and an increase of $1.2 billion in interest-bearing due from banks, partially offset by a decrease of $611.9 million in average securities.
• Average deposits increased 4.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances decreased 18.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by migration to rate-bearing deposit categories, as expected in a higher interest rate environment. Average demand deposit balances comprised 31.0% of total deposits, compared to 32.0% in the linked quarter and 39.7% in the fourth quarter of 2022.
• Average borrowed funds decreased $319.6 million as compared to the linked quarter and increased $1.9 billion as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, driven by short-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve.

Noninterest income

• Fourth quarter 2023 noninterest income increased $6.9 million, or 5.2%, on a linked-quarter basis, largely due to:
  • Increases of $3.7 million in company-owned life insurance income and $0.6 million in derivative income, both recorded in other income. The increase in company-owned life insurance was offset by a proportionate increase in deferred compensation expense as noted below.
  • An increase of $2.0 million in trading and investment banking due to increased trading volume.
• Compared to the prior year, noninterest income in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased $14.8 million, or 11.8%, primarily driven by:
  • Increases of $4.9 million in fund services income, $2.0 million in corporate trust income, and $0.5 million in trust servicing income, all recorded in trust and securities processing.
  • Increases of $3.3 million in company-owned life insurance income and $0.6 million in bank-owned life insurance income, both recorded in other income. The increase in company-owned life insurance was offset by a proportionate increase in deferred compensation expense as noted below.
  • An increase of $1.6 million in service charges on deposits primarily due to increased corporate service charge income.
  • An increase of $1.4 million in investment securities gains, primarily driven by increased valuations in the company's non-marketable securities.

  • An increase of $2.7 million in deferred compensation expense, recorded in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in deferred compensation expense was offset by the increase in company-owned life insurance income noted above.

  • An increase of $1.5 million in charitable contribution expense, recorded in other expense.
  • An increase of $1.3 million in processing fees expense due to the ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems and the timing of multiple software projects.

    • A decrease of $5.1 million in bonus and commission expense, recorded in salaries and employee benefits.
    • A decrease of $2.4 million in equipment expense driven by reduced software expense.

• Net interest income increased $6.3 million, or 0.7%, year-over-year due to a $1.9 billion, or 5.3%, increase in average earning assets, coupled with the impacts from increased short-term and long-term interest rates. The increase in earning assets was driven by an increase of $3.5 billion, or 18.7%, in average loans, partially offset by decreases of $649.8 million in federal funds and resell agreements and $611.9 million in average securities from 2022. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $4.5 billion, or 21.1%, while noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $2.6 billion, or 19.8%, as expected in a higher interest rate environment. The yield on earning assets increased 170 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 253 basis points. Net interest margin for 2023 was 2.52%, compared to 2.63% in 2022.
• Full-year noninterest income decreased $12.4 million, or 2.2%, due to:
  • A decrease of $61.6 million in investment securities gains, largely driven by the gain on the sale of the company's Visa Inc. Class B common shares during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in valuation of the company's marketable securities.
  • A decrease of $3.6 million in trading and investment banking due to decreased trading volume.
  • These decreases were offset by the following increases:
    • Increases of $18.4 million in company-owned life insurance and $1.7 million in bank-owned life insurance income, both recorded in other income. The increase in company-owned life insurance was offset by a proportionate increase in deferred compensation expense as noted below.
    • Increases of $12.2 million in fund services income and $7.7 million in corporate trust income, both recorded in trust and securities processing.
    • An increase of $11.1 million in brokerage income, primarily driven by higher 12b-1 fees and money market income.
    • An increase of $1.3 million in bankcard income, driven by increased interchange income, partially offset by increased rewards and rebates expense.

  • An increase of $61.6 million in regulatory fees, primarily driven by the $52.8 million industry-wide FDIC special assessment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • An increase of $29.0 million in salaries and employee benefits, driven by increases of $23.8 million in salary and wage expense, $14.7 million in deferred compensation expense, and $6.5 million in payroll taxes, insurance, and 401(k) expense, partially offset by a decrease of $15.3 million in bonus and commission expense. The increase in deferred compensation expense was offset by the increase in company-owned life insurance income noted above.
  • An increase of $20.9 million in processing fees due to the ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems and the timing of multiple software projects.
  • These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $9.1 million in legal and consulting expense due to the timing of multiple projects.

Income taxes

• The company’s effective tax rate was 17.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 18.9% for the same period in 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2023 is primarily attributable to a larger portion of income being earned from tax-exempt municipal securities and excludable life insurance policy gains.

Balance sheet

• Average total assets for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $40.5 billion compared to $39.5 billion for the linked quarter and $37.3 billion for the same period in 2022.

• Provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter decreased $5.0 million from the linked quarter and $9.0 million from the fourth quarter of 2022. These decreases were driven largely by favorable changes in macro-economic variables and credit metrics in the current period as compared to the prior periods, partially offset by loan growth.
• Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter totaled $1.4 million, or 0.02%, of average loans, compared to $4.6 million, or 0.08% of average loans in the linked quarter, and $2.2 million, or 0.04% of average loans for the fourth quarter of 2022. On a year-to-date basis, net charge-offs totaled $10.5 million, or 0.05% of average loans, compared to $39.9 million, or 0.21% of average loans, for the same period in 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we may provide information about net operating income, operating earnings per share – diluted (operating EPS), operating return on average equity (operating ROE), operating return on average assets (operating ROA), operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, operating pre-tax, pre-provision income (operating PTPP), operating pre-tax, pre-provision earnings per share – diluted (operating PTPP EPS), operating pre-tax, pre-provision income on a fully tax equivalent basis (operating PTPP-FTE), operating pre-tax, pre-provision FTE earnings per share – diluted (operating PTPP-FTE EPS), tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, and operating return on average tangible equity excluding AOCI, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures. This information supplements the results that are reported according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP results. The differences between the non-GAAP financial measures – net operating income, operating EPS, operating ROE, operating ROA, operating noninterest expense, operating efficiency ratio, operating PTPP, operating PTPP EPS, operating PTPP-FTE, operating PTPP-FTE EPS, tangible shareholders’ equity, tangible book value per share, and operating return on average tangible equity excluding AOCI – and the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures are reconciled later in this release. The company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations may be useful to investors because they adjust for acquisition- and severance-related items, and the FDIC special assessment that management does not believe reflect the company’s fundamental operating performance.

Net operating income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net income, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding expenses related to acquisitions, severance expense, the FDIC special assessment, and the cumulative tax impact of these adjustments.

Operating EPS (diluted) is calculated as earnings per share as reported, adjusted to reflect, on a per share basis, the impact of excluding the non-GAAP adjustments described above for the relevant period. Operating ROE is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average total shareholders’ equity for the relevant period. Operating ROA is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average assets for the relevant period. Operating noninterest expense for the relevant period is defined as GAAP noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the pre-tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments described above. Operating efficiency ratio is calculated as the company’s operating noninterest expense, net of amortization of other intangibles, divided by the company’s total non-GAAP revenue (calculated as net interest income plus noninterest income, less gains on sales of securities available for sale, net).

Operating PTPP income for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net interest income plus GAAP noninterest income, less noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding expenses related to acquisitions, severance expense, and the FDIC special assessment.

Operating PTPP-FTE for the relevant period is defined as GAAP net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis plus GAAP noninterest income, less noninterest expense, adjusted to reflect the impact of excluding expenses related to acquisitions, severance expense, and the FDIC special assessment.

Tangible shareholders’ equity for the relevant period is defined as GAAP shareholders’ equity, net of intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is defined as tangible shareholders’ equity divided by the Company’s total shares outstanding.

Operating return on average tangible equity excluding AOCI is calculated as net operating income, divided by the company’s average tangible shareholders’ equity exclusive of AOCI for the relevant period.
