KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), a financial services company, announced net income for the first quarter of 2024 of $110.3 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, compared to $70.9 million, or $1.45 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023 (linked quarter) and $92.4 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2023. The results for the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 include pre-tax expense of $13.0 million and $52.8 million, respectively, 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 $120.7 million, or $2.47 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $112.0 million, or $2.29 per diluted share, for the linked quarter and $92.8 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023. 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 $157.5 million, or $3.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $134.9 million, or $2.76 per diluted share, for the linked quarter, and $135.4 million, or $2.78 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023. These operating PTPP results represent increases of 16.7% on a linked-quarter basis and 16.3% compared to the first quarter of 2023.

“Our 2024 is off to a great start, with strong first quarter financial results driven by balance sheet and net interest income growth, net interest margin expansion, double-digit growth in our fee income revenue, and stable credit metrics,” said Mariner Kemper, UMB Financial Corporation chairman and chief executive officer.

“Our performance validates the perspective I shared earlier this year that the dramatized and highly exaggerated regional bank crisis from a year ago—and similar frenzy over idiosyncratic commercial real estate headlines earlier this year—do not apply to the whole regional banking industry, which remains on strong footing. As students of history, we believe in gravity and that what goes up will eventually come down. We run the company based on this expectation.

“While indications suggest the economy is on reasonably stable footing, persistently high inflation, an upcoming presidential election cycle, and a potential 'No Landing' scenario may dictate a constrictive Federal Reserve monetary policy that could pose economic challenges.

“In the first quarter of 2024, average loans increased 9.8% to $23.4 billion, while average deposits increased $2.0 billion or 6.2%, from one year ago. Our financial metrics demonstrate our borrowers and depository clients remain cautiously optimistic and selective with their investments. The overall loan portfolio remains healthy as exemplified by net charge-offs averaging less than 10 basis points in each of the past seven quarters, and non-performing loans at a meager eight basis points of total loans. Also of note for the quarter is that we closed on the purchase of a co-branded credit card portfolio partnership with Rural King, a preeminent, family-owned general merchandise store with more than 130 locations in a 13-state footprint.”

Net interest income

• First quarter 2024 net interest income totaled $239.4 million, an increase of $8.9 million, or 3.9%, from the linked quarter, driven primarily by continued growth in average loans and higher levels of liquidity, $1.4 million in municipal bond hedge gain amortization, partially offset by higher interest expense.
• Average earning assets increased $1.6 billion, or 4.1%, from the linked quarter, largely driven by an increase of $931.4 million in interest-bearing due from banks, an increase of $428.4 million in average securities, and an increase of $245.0 million in average loans.
• Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.3 billion, or 4.9%, from the linked quarter, primarily driven by increases of $903.2 million in interest-bearing deposits and $501.4 million in federal funds and repurchase agreements, partially offset by a decrease of $102.8 million in borrowed funds. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $52.3 million, or 0.5%, as compared to the linked quarter.
• Net interest margin for the first quarter was 2.48%, an increase of two basis points from the linked quarter, driven by increased loan yields, the benefit of free funds, favorable impact of bond hedge gain amortization, and earning asset mix changes, partially offset by the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased eight basis points to 4.03%. Total cost of funds increased nine basis points from the linked quarter to 2.96%. Both average loan yields and earning asset yields increased 10 basis points from the linked quarter.
• On a year-over-year basis, net interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 0.9%, driven by higher interest expense, primarily due to an unfavorable mix shift in the composition of liabilities and new deposit client acquisitions at prevailing market rates. This decrease was partially offset by a $2.1 billion, or 9.8%, increase in average loans as well as the benefit from higher short-term interest rates on loan pricing and yields.
• Compared to the first quarter of 2023, average earning assets increased $3.4 billion, or 9.4%, largely driven by the increase in average loans noted above and an increase of $1.8 billion in interest-bearing due from banks, partially offset by a decrease of $244.7 million in federal funds sold and resell agreements.
• Average deposits increased 6.2% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Average noninterest-bearing demand deposit balances decreased 15.5% compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven by migration to rate-bearing deposit categories, as expected in a higher interest rate environment. Average demand deposit balances comprised 30.0% of total deposits, compared to 31.0% in the linked quarter and 37.8% in the first quarter of 2023.
• Average borrowed funds decreased $102.8 million as compared to the linked quarter and increased $983.1 million as compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven by short-term borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve.

Noninterest income

• First quarter 2024 noninterest income increased $19.0 million, or 13.5%, on a linked-quarter basis, largely due to:
  • $8.4 million in higher investment securities gains, primarily driven by a net $8.6 million gain on disposition of two of the company's non-marketable securities. The company recognized a gain of $10.7 million and a loss of $2.1 million, respectively, on these two securities.
  • An increase of $5.8 million in other miscellaneous income, recorded in other income, related to a $4.0 million legal settlement and a $1.8 million gain on sale of land, both recorded during the first quarter of 2024.
  • An increase of $3.3 million in bankcard income primarily driven by higher interchange revenue and lower rebates and rewards expense as compared to the linked quarter.
  • Increases of $1.1 million in trust income, $1.0 million in fund services income, and $0.8 million in corporate trust income, all recorded in trust and securities processing.
  • These increases were partially offset by decreases of $0.8 million in derivative income, recorded in other income, and $0.6 million in service charges on deposits.
• Compared to the prior year, noninterest income in the first quarter of 2024 increased $29.0 million, or 22.3%, primarily driven by:
  • An increase of $14.7 million in investment securities gains, primarily driven by a $10.7 million gain on disposition of one of the company's non-marketable securities during the first quarter of 2024, coupled with the impairment loss on an available-for-sale subordinated debt security recorded in the prior year.
  • An increase of $5.7 million in other miscellaneous income, recorded in other income, related to a $4.0 million legal settlement and a $1.8 million gain on sale of land, both recorded during the first quarter of 2024.
  • Increases of $5.0 million in fund services income, $1.1 million in trust income, and $1.0 million in corporate trust income, all recorded in trust and securities processing.
  • An increase of $3.8 million in bankcard income primarily driven by higher interchange revenue and lower rebates and rewards expense as compared to the prior year.
  • These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $2.4 million in derivative income, recorded in other income.

• GAAP noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2024 was $254.8 million, a decrease of $35.2 million, or 12.1%, from the linked quarter and an increase of $17.8 million, or 7.5% from the first quarter of 2023. Operating noninterest expense, a non-GAAP financial measure reconciled later in this release to noninterest expense, the nearest comparable GAAP measure, was $241.2 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of $5.4 million, or 2.3%, from the linked quarter and an increase of $4.7 million, or 2.0%, from the first quarter of 2023.
• The linked-quarter decrease in GAAP noninterest expense was driven by:
  • A decrease of $39.8 million in regulatory fees expense, driven by the lower FDIC special assessment levied on banks to recoup the losses related to two of the bank failures in March 2023. The results for the first quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 include pre-tax expense of $13.0 million and $52.8 million, respectively, for the industry-wide FDIC special assessment.
  • A decrease of $2.2 million in supplies driven by purchases of computers during the linked quarter.
  • Decreases of $1.5 million in operational losses and $1.3 million in charitable contribution expense, both recorded in other expense.
  • These decreases were partially offset by a seasonal increase of $9.1 million in payroll taxes, insurance, and 401(k) expense recognized in the first quarter.
• The year-over-year increase in GAAP noninterest expense was driven by:
  • An increase of $13.8 million in regulatory fees, primarily driven by the aforementioned $13.0 million FDIC special assessment recorded in the first quarter of 2024.
  • An increase of $4.7 million in processing fees expense due to the ongoing modernization of the company’s core systems and the timing of multiple software projects.
  • An increase of $3.4 million in bankcard expense driven by higher administrative expenses and fraud losses.
  • These increases were partially offset by decreases of $3.5 million in operational losses, recorded in other expense, and $1.3 million in equipment expense, driven by reduced software expense.

Income taxes

• The company’s effective tax rate was 17.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 17.2% for the same period in 2023.

Balance sheet

• Provision for credit losses for the first quarter increased $10.0 million from the linked quarter and decreased $13.3 million from the first quarter of 2023. This quarter's provision included approximately $6.7 million related to the purchase of $109.4 million in co-branded credit card receivables. Excluding this, the variances in provision expense were driven largely by changes in macro-economic variables and credit metrics in the current period as compared to the prior periods.
• Net charge-offs for the first quarter totaled $3.0 million, or 0.05% of average loans, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.02% of average loans in the linked quarter, and $4.6 million, or 0.09% of average loans for the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this release, we 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, and tangible book value per share, 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, and tangible book value per share – 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 and severance, 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 and severance, 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.
