Bar Harbor Bankshares Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results; Declares Dividend

BAR HARBOR, ME / ACCESSWIRE / July 20, 2023 / Bar Harbor Bankshares (NYSE American:BHB) (the "Company") reported second quarter 2023 net income of $10.8 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $10.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2022.

SECOND QUARTER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS (all comparisons to the second quarter 2022, unless otherwise noted)

  • $4.0 billion total assets (Company record)
  • 1.10% return on assets; 10.49% return on equity
  • 12% annualized commercial loan growth
  • 3.22% net interest margin ("NIM"), compared to 3.19%
  • 0.17% non-performing assets ratio to total assets, compared to 0.21%
  • $27.12 book value per share, compared to $26.09 in the fourth quarter of 2022

Bar Harbor Bankshares' President and Chief Executive Officer, Curtis C. Simard, stated, "We are very pleased to report our second quarter financial performance as we again delivered strong net interest income generated from robust loan growth and expanding yields on average earning assets while maintaining strong credit quality metrics. As we think about the current pipeline, we continue to be selective based on our ability to negotiate loan pricing, which factors into the appropriate growth levels. And while deposits are at a premium forcing costs to increase as competition tightens in a continued rising rate environment, we have been able to defend our NIM relative to our peers at 3.22%. We did see a demand for and remix into term deposits during the quarter as customers stretch for a higher and longer rate of return. However, our cumulative deposit beta for the current rate cycle is 22% as of June 30, 2023. We believe that our deposit strategy and efforts to individually manage pricing at the relationship level will continue to provide us with a competitive advantage."

Mr. Simard continued, "At the end of the second quarter, our allowance for credit losses was $27.4 million. Our reserves to loan ratio increased from 0.90% to 0.91% during the quarter largely driven by a combination of loan growth and general macroeconomic trends. Our quarterly credit trends remained strong as we saw a favorable reduction to nonaccrual loans across all products and improvements in delinquencies."

Mr. Simard concluded, "The operating environment for banks has changed yet again in 2023, but our strategy has not. We have built a bank with great people and sound operating principles that is made for shifting environments. As the only community bank headquartered in Northern New England with branches in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, we have been operating largely in conservative diversified Northeast markets for more than 135 years, including metropolitan areas, midsized cities and small towns. We serve a stable and diversified customer base with deposits from nearly all banking segments, including consumer, high net worth, small businesses, larger corporate, government agencies and commercial real estate. And here in the first half of 2023, these markets have remained resilient in the face of an uncertain macroeconomic environment. Unemployment rates remained stable within our footprint, continuing to come in below the national average. We believe that the consumer remains financially healthy, and our business customers continue to seek ways to expand and optimize their operations where it makes sense."

DIVIDEND DECLARED

The Company's Board of Directors voted to declare a cash dividend of $0.28 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2023 payable on September 15, 2023. This dividend equates to a 4.55% annualized yield based on the $24.64 closing share price of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2023, the last trading day of the second quarter 2023.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets grew to $4.0 billion at the end of the second quarter 2023 from $3.9 billion at the end of the first quarter 2023 primarily due to continued loan growth. In the second quarter 2023, loans increased by $63.5 million primarily driven by commercial loans that grew $56.4 million, including $28.0 million from new customers primarily in the Real Estate and Leasing industries. Residential loans were relatively flat due to low production and profitable sales into the secondary market during the second quarter 2023. Consumer loans dropped by $1.7 million from the end of the first quarter 2023 due to run-off of balances associated with the repricing of home equity lines of credit to the higher interest rate environment.

Securities available for sale decreased $538.2 million in the second quarter 2023, from $557.0 million in the first quarter 2023 as amortization and prepayments were used to fund loan growth. Throughout the past year, the yields on our securities have risen steadily with the rate environment, but we have curtailed durations to reduce our longer-term rate risk. Unrealized losses on securities totaled $55.3 million at the end of the second quarter 2023 versus $50.6 million at the end of the first quarter 2023 reflecting continued increases in market rates.

The allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $27.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2023, compared to $26.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans increased to 0.91% from 0.90% due largely to loan growth and more conservative macroeconomic forecasting, specifically in national unemployment. Non-accruing loans during the second quarter 2023 decreased to $6.7 million from $7.8 million at the end of the first quarter, which reflects improvements in lending relationships across all product lines.

Total deposits were $3.1 billion at the end of the second and first quarter 2023, which gave rise to a slightly higher loan to deposit ratio of 97% compared to 96%, respectively, on higher loan balances. Demand and other non-interest bearing deposits decreased $34.0 million largely driven by non-personal institutional outflows due to seasonality. Savings deposits decreased $40.0 million evenly throughout the second quarter 2023. However, we opened 1,600 non-maturity accounts with new customers with an average balance of $10 thousand during the second quarter 2023. Time deposits increased $231.3 million in the second quarter 2023 primarily due to a shift from non-maturity accounts and a $131.5 million increase in brokered deposits. Our deposit composition at the end of the second quarter 2023 was 46% commercial customers and 54% consumer customers, compared with 47% and 53%, respectively at year-end 2022.

The Company's book value per share was $27.12 at June 30, 2023, compared with $26.09 at the end of the fourth quarter 2022. Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP measure) was $18.88 at the end of the second quarter 2023, compared to $17.78 at the end of the fourth quarter 2022, which is an annualized rate of return of approximately 12%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income in the second quarter 2023 was $10.8 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, versus $10.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the same quarter of 2022. NIM increased to 3.22% in the second quarter 2023 compared to 3.19% in the same quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by new loans and yield expansion on existing variable rate loans, which were partially offset by a higher cost of funds. The yield on loans expanded to 4.99% at the end of the second quarter 2023, up from 3.71% in the same quarter of 2022. Costs of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 1.99% in the second quarter 2023 from 0.36% in the same quarter 2022 as our costs continue to drift upwards from subsequent interest rate hikes. We also experienced a shift in deposit composition to time deposits as some customers continue to seek higher returns. In the second quarter 2023, we had a heavier reliance on whole-sale borrowings than in the second quarter 2022, which also has a cost that is almost 200 basis points higher than in the prior year quarter.

The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 was $750 thousand, compared to $534 thousand in the same quarter of 2022, primarily driven by loan growth and slightly higher provisioning given current market conditions. Our strong credit performance continues and net charge-offs were near zero.

Non-interest income was $9.0 million in the second quarter 2023 and 2022. Customer service fees grew to $3.8 million in the second quarter 2023 from $3.7 million in the same quarter of 2022 on a higher number of transactional accounts. Wealth management income was $3.8 million in the second quarter 2023 and 2022 as higher inflows of cash since 2022 were offset by lower security valuations of assets under management in 2023.

Non-interest expense was $23.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $21.7 million in the same quarter of 2022 principally due to higher salary and benefit expense. Salary and benefit expense increased due to annual salary adjustments that were effective at the end of the first quarter of 2023 and higher post-retirement expense in 2023 as compared to the prior year quarter due to changes in discount rates.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional supplemental perspectives on operating results, performance trends, and financial condition. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures; they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information. Because non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are susceptible to varying calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures is provided below. In all cases, it should be understood that non-GAAP measures do not depict amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders. An item which management excludes when computing non-GAAP core earnings can be of substantial importance to the Company's results for any particular quarter or year. The Company's non-GAAP core earnings information set forth is not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP information, which may be presented by other companies. Each non-GAAP measure used by the Company in this report as supplemental financial data should be considered in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.

The Company utilizes the non-GAAP measure of core earnings in evaluating operating trends, including components for core revenue and expense. These measures exclude amounts which the Company views as unrelated to its normalized operations, including gains/losses on securities, premises, equipment and other real estate owned, acquisition costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements, and systems conversion costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are presented net of an adjustment for income tax expense.

The Company also calculates core earnings per share based on its measure of core earnings. The Company views these amounts as important to understanding its operating trends, particularly due to the impact of accounting standards related to acquisition activity. Analysts also rely on these measures in estimating and evaluating the Company's performance. Management also believes that the computation of non-GAAP core earnings and core earnings per share may facilitate the comparison of the Company to other companies in the financial services industry. The Company also adjusts certain equity related measures to exclude intangible assets due to the importance of these measures to the investment community.
