Professional Holding Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

Fourth Quarter 2022 Net Income of $4.3 million and Earnings per Share of $0.31 Reflecting Acquisition Related Expenses

Professional Holding Corp. (the โ€œCompanyโ€) (NASDAQ: PFHD), the parent company of Professional Bank (the โ€œBankโ€), today reported net income of $4.3 million, or $0.31 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to net income of $8.5 million, or $0.63 per share, for the third quarter of 2022, and net income of $4.0 million, or $0.30 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. Chief Financial Officer Mary Usategui noted that the Company continued to perform at a high level while incurring additional expenses related to its previously announced merger with Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (โ€œSeacoastโ€), expected to close on January 31, 2023.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022

  • Net income decreased by $4.2 million, or 49.7%, to $4.3 million compared to $8.5 million in the third quarter, due to a decrease in net interest income of $2.2 million and an increase in noninterest expense of $2.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in provision expense of $0.5 million and an increase in noninterest income of $0.1 million. The increase in noninterest expense was due to expenses associated with one-time equity award accelerations in anticipation of the Seacoast merger and other related acquisition expenses.
  • Net interest income decreased by $2.2 million, or 9.0%, to $22.6 million compared to $24.8 million in the third quarter, primarily due to an increase in the cost of funding, partially offset by an increase in the rate received on interest bearing assets. The Companyโ€™s yield on average interest earning assets increased by 42 basis points while cost of funds increased by 84 basis points compared to the prior quarter.
  • Provision for loan losses expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 36.6%, to $0.9 million compared to $1.3 million in the third quarter, due to a decrease in specific reserves on two impaired loans.
  • Noninterest income of $1.3 million remained relatively unchanged compared to the prior quarter.
  • Noninterest expense increased by $2.7 million, or 19.8%, to $16.6 million compared to $13.9 million in the prior quarter. The increase was primarily due to expenses of $3.6 million in one-time equity award accelerations, partially offset by lower acquisition expenses of $0.5 million compared to the prior quarter in connection with the pending merger with Seacoast and the prior quarter charitable contribution to the AAA scholarship foundation.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2022

  • Net income increased by $0.8 million, or 3.7%, to $22.1 million compared to $21.4 million for the prior year, due to an increase in net interest income of $16.0 million, partially offset by an increase in provision expense of $0.5 million, a decrease in noninterest income of $0.6 million, an increase in noninterest expense of $12.3 million, and an increase in income tax provision of $1.8 million.
  • Net interest income increased by $16.0 million, or 22.1%, to $88.3 million compared to $72.3 million in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of the Federal Reserveโ€™s target Federal Funds Rate increases in 2022 on the Companyโ€™s asset sensitive balance sheet, in addition to an increase in average loans from $1.7 billion in 2021 to $1.9 billion in 2022. Interest income also benefited from increased average balances and higher yields in our investment portfolio.
  • Provision for loan losses increased by $0.5 million, or 11.5%, to $5.3 million compared to $4.7 million in the prior year primarily due to loan growth. The ratio of charge-offs to average loans was 0.03% during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 0.49% in the prior year.
  • Noninterest income decreased by $0.6 million, or 9.1% to $5.6 million compared to the prior year. The decrease primarily reflected lower loan held for sale income of $0.4 million, lower service charges of $0.5 million on deposit accounts, and lower swap fee income of $0.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in bank owned life insurance income and $0.7 million in other noninterest income. The increase in other noninterest income was comprised of $0.5 million of insurance proceeds on a previously recognized contingency and a $0.2 million loss on fixed asset disposals recorded in 2021.
  • Noninterest expense increased by $12.3 million, or 26.0%, to $59.5 million compared to $47.3 million in the prior year primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits of $5.7 million, higher other noninterest expense of $4.7 million, higher acquisition expenses of $0.8 million, and higher professional fees of $0.8 million. The increase in salaries and benefits were comprised of severance and benefit payments related to the departure of the Companyโ€™s former Chief Executive Officer, higher employee compensation costs from one-time restricted share award accelerations, increased headcount, and higher sales incentives. The increase in other noninterest expense was primarily comprised of $3.6 million in one-time SAR award accelerations, and a $0.7 million loss related to a previously recognized contingency from the first quarter.

Financial Condition

At December 31, 2022:

  • Total assets increased by $114.4 million, or 4.6% to $2.6 billion, compared to September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in loans, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a decrease in our securities portfolio.
  • Total loans increased by $128.5 million, or 25.4%, annualized, compared to September 30, 2022. We experienced loan originations of approximately $228.8 million, of which $156.5 million funded, partially offset by paydowns and prepayments.
  • Total deposits decreased by $15.1 million, or 2.7% annualized, compared to September 30, 2022, primarily due to decreases in noninterest bearing deposits and time deposits, partially offset by increases in money market and interest bearing deposit categories. Cost of deposits increased 79 basis points to 1.18% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, from 0.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
  • Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $120.0 million, compared to September 30, 2022, for the use of funding loan growth and maintaining liquidity.
  • As of December 31, 2022, nonperforming assets decreased $0.3 million to $1.5 million compared to $1.8 million at September 30, 2022, as a result of an impaired loan that was brought to good standing during the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company continues to remain well capitalized per regulatory requirements. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.1% and a leverage capital ratio of 9.5%. The Company maintains a strong liquidity position. At December 31, 2022, in addition to its balance sheet liquidity, the Company had the ability to generate approximately $329.5 million in liquidity through available resources. Additionally, the Company retained $9.6 million in cash at the holding company.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Analysis

(2)

Net interest spread is the difference between interest earned on interest earning assets and interest paid on interest bearing liabilities.

(3)

Net interest margin is a ratio of net interest income to average interest earning assets for the same period.

(4)

Interest income on loans includes loan fees of $4.6 million and $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for loan losses decreased by $0.5 million, or 36.6%, in the three months ended December 31, 2022, to $0.9 million compared to $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of updated collateral valuations on two impaired loans, reducing the specific reserve requirement. There were no net charge-offs during the three months ended December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

Investment Securities

In the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Companyโ€™s investment portfolio decreased $10.8 million, or 5.9%, to $172.9 million compared to the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily due to $10.7 million in investment calls, redemptions and paydowns coupled with an increase in unrealized losses of $0.2 million during the fourth quarter. To supplement interest income earned on the Companyโ€™s loan portfolio, the Company invests in high quality mortgage-backed securities, government agency bonds, corporate bonds, community development district bonds, and equity securities (including mutual funds).

Loan Portfolio

The Companyโ€™s primary source of income is derived from interest earned on loans. The Companyโ€™s loan portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate, as well as commercial business loans, construction and development loans, and other consumer loans. The Companyโ€™s loan clients primarily consist of small-to medium-sized businesses, the owners and operators of those businesses, and other professionals, entrepreneurs and high net worth individuals. The Companyโ€™s owner-occupied and investment commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans, and commercial business loans provide higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities, and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations and are complemented by the relatively lower risk residential real estate loans to individuals. The Companyโ€™s lending activities are principally directed to the Miami-Dade MSA. The following table summarizes and provides additional information about certain segments of the Companyโ€™s loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (โ€œGAAPโ€), which we refer to as โ€œnon-GAAP financial measures.โ€ The table below provides a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net income and net income per share, which are the most comparable GAAP measures.

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Companyโ€™s performance and believes these measures are useful supplemental information that can enhance investorsโ€™ understanding of the Companyโ€™s business and performance without considering taxes or provisions for loan losses and can be useful when comparing performance with other financial institutions. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures.
