Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter Results

BEDMINSTER, NJ- (NewMediaWire) - January 25, 2024 - Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) (the “Company”) announces its fourth quarter 2023 financial results.

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Q4 2023 Investor Update, a copy of which is available on our website at www.pgbank.com and via a current report on Form 8-K on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. 

The Company recorded total revenue of $54.3 million, net income of $8.6 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.48 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to revenue of $64.9 million, net income of $20.6 million and diluted EPS of $1.12 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

The net interest margin stabilized at 2.29% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 2.28% for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 3.12% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

The Company’s return on average assets was 0.53%, return on average equity was 6.13%, and return on average tangible equity was 6.68% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Year over year deposits increased by $69.0 million to $5.3 billion and loans grew $135.2 million to $5.4 billion as of December 31, 2023.

The Company’s liquidity position remains stable as balance sheet liquidity (consisting of cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale) increased to $782.4 million as of December 31, 2023, which was 12.08% of total assets.  The Company also had $2.7 billion of external borrowing capacity available, which, when combined with balance sheet liquidity provides us with 297% coverage of our uninsured deposits. Approximately 78% of our deposits are presently covered by FDIC insurance or are fully collateralized.

Douglas L. Kennedy, President and CEO said, “The fourth quarter brings an end to an incredibly challenging year for the financial services industry. A year that began with questions regarding liquidity and uninsured deposit balances combined with several interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve Bank in an effort to control inflation, which resulted in a turbulent ride from beginning to end.  Our net interest margin stabilized during the fourth quarter which provides an encouraging sign as we turn the calendar to 2024.  We continue to generate a consistent stream of noninterest income led by our Wealth Management Team.  Noninterest income represented 32% of total revenue during 2023."

Mr. Kennedy also noted, “Similar to the third quarter, fourth quarter results included an elevated provision for credit losses primarily driven by reserves required for two credits within the freight industry, which is currently facing a massive downturn due to supply and demand imbalances. We successfully liquidated one of these credits during the fourth quarter and continue to work through steps to quickly resolve the other. As we move forward through this challenging economic environment, we continue to thoroughly analyze our loan portfolio for areas of concern. We believe the diversity of our portfolio and strength of our underwriting standards will protect us in the long term. Unfortunately, we have been forced to deal with a handful of credit issues that have arisen as a result of current economic conditions."

The following are select highlights for the period ended December 31, 2023:

SUPPLEMENTAL QUARTERLY DETAILS:

 

Wealth Management

AUM/AUA in the Bank’s Wealth Management Division were $10.9 billion at December 31, 2023.  For the December 2023 quarter, the Wealth Management Team generated $13.8 million in fee income, compared to $14.0 million for the September 30, 2023 quarter and $13.0 million for the December 2022 quarter. The equity market increased during Q4 2023, contributing to the increase in AUM/AUA from $10.4 billion at September 30, 2023.

 

John Babcock, President of the Bank's Wealth Management Division, noted, “2023 included total new accounts and client additions of $948 million ($703 million managed). As we prepare for 2024, our new business pipeline is healthy and we remain focused on delivering excellent service and advice to our clients. Our highly skilled wealth management professionals, our fiduciary powers and expertise, our financial planning capabilities and our high-touch client service model distinguishes us in our market and continues to drive our growth and success.” 

Loans / Commercial Banking

Total loans grew $135.2 million, or 3% to $5.4 billion at December 31, 2023 when compared to $5.3 billion at December 31, 2022.

Total C&I loans and leases at December 31, 2023 were $2.3 billion or 42% of the total loan portfolio.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “As previously mentioned, we have tightened our underwriting guidelines due to economic uncertainty. As a result, we achieved modest loan growth in 2023 compared to prior years. We are proud to have built a leading middle market commercial banking franchise, as evidenced by our C&I Portfolio, Treasury Management services, Corporate Advisory and SBA businesses. We believe these business lines fit perfectly with our private banking business model.”

Net Interest Income (NII)/Net Interest Margin (NIM)

The Company’s NII of $36.7 million and NIM of 2.29% for Q4 2023 increased $160,000 and 1 basis point from NII of $36.5 million and NIM of 2.28% for the linked quarter (Q3 2023), respectively, and decreased $11.4 million and 83 basis points from NII of $48.0 million and NIM of 3.12% for the prior year (Q4 2022), respectively.  When comparing Q4 2023 to the prior year quarter, the Company has seen a sharp increase in interest expense mostly driven by higher deposit rates during 2023. Cycle to date betas are approximately 48%.  Clients continue to migrate out of noninterest bearing checking products and into higher costing alternatives, which leads to intense competition for deposit balances from other banks and alternative investment opportunities due to the significant rise in interest rates.

Funding / Liquidity / Interest Rate Risk Management

Total deposits increased $69.0 million to $5.3 billion at December 31, 2023 from $5.2 billion at December 31, 2022.  The Company saw limited deposit increases in 2023 as the ongoing acquisition of new relationships driven by our private banking strategy was offset by larger deposit relationships using funds for purposes such as deployment of excess liquidity into higher-yielding treasuries or the equity market, tax payments, or asset acquisitions or investments.  The Company has also seen clients transition money from noninterest bearing deposit accounts to higher yielding deposit accounts as a result of increases in the Fed Funds rate.

At December 31, 2023, the Company’s balance sheet liquidity (investments available for sale, interest-earning deposits and cash) totaled $782.4 million, or 12% of assets.

The Company maintains additional liquidity resources of approximately $2.7 billion through secured available funding with the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Discount Window.  The available funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve are secured by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios. In addition, the Company also has access to the Bank Term Funding Program offered by the Federal Reserve Bank if needed.

The Company's total on and off-balance sheet liquidity totaled $3.5 billion, which is 297% of the total uninsured/uncollateralized deposits on the Company's balance sheet.

Income from Capital Markets Activities

Noninterest income from Capital Markets activities (detailed below) totaled $296,000 for the December 2023 quarter compared to $613,000 for the September 2023 quarter and $950,000 for the December 2022 quarter. The gain on sale of SBA loans was lower in Q4 2023 due to less activity in the higher interest rate environment and tighter margins.

Other Noninterest Income (other than Wealth Management Fee Income and Income from Capital Markets Activities)

Other noninterest income was $3.5 million for Q4 2023 compared to $4.8 million for Q3 2023 and $2.9 million for Q4 2022. Q4 2023 included $309,000 of income recorded by the Equipment Finance Division related to equipment transfers to lessees upon the termination of leases while Q3 2023 included $2.3 million and Q4 2022 included $294,000 respectively. Additionally, Q4 2023 included $750,000 of unused line fees compared to $794,000 for Q3 2023 and $732,000 for Q4 2022.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s total operating expenses were $37.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $37.4 million for the September 2023 quarter and $33.4 million for the December 2022 quarter. The December 2023 and September 2023 quarters included expenses associated with the expansion of the Company into New York City.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “While we have made a strategic decision to expand into a new market which results in additional costs, we are pleased with our ability to manage expenses across the Company. We will continue to look for opportunities to create efficiencies while investing in digital and other software tools to further enhance the client experience.”

Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was 26.0%, as compared to 30.5% for the September 2023 quarter and 30.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.  The higher tax rate for the September 2023 quarter was primarily due to the impact of certain non-deductible expenses related to compensation and benefits and the higher tax rate for the December 2022 quarter included income tax expense related to legislation that changed the nexus standard for New York City business tax.

 

Asset Quality / Provision for Credit Losses

Nonperforming assets (which does not include modified loans that are performing in accordance with their terms) were $61.3 million, or 0.95% of total assets at December 31, 2023, as compared to $70.8 million, or 1.09% of total assets at September 30, 2023. The third quarter was impacted by two freight related clients totaling $33.4 million that were transferred to nonaccrual status during the third quarter. One credit, totaling $9.9 million, was successfully liquidated during the fourth quarter and management is working diligently to resolve the remaining matter as quickly and efficiently as possible. Loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing were $34.6 million, or 0.64% of total loans at December 31, 2023 compared to $9.8 million, or 0.18% of total loans at September 30, 2023. The Q4 2023 loans past due 30 to 89 days and still accruing included $16.5 million to US governmental entities and $11.8 million to one multifamily sponsor.

Criticized and classified loans totaled $155.8 million at December 31, 2023, reflecting an increase from September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 levels. The Company currently has no loans or leases on deferral and accruing.  

For the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s provision for credit losses was $5.1 million compared to $5.9 million for the September 2023 quarter and $2.1 million for the December 2022 quarter. The elevated level of provision for credit losses in both the December and September 2023 quarters was primarily driven by specific provisions related to the two freight credits that were transferred to nonaccrual status during the third quarter of 2023 as described above.  Net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 included charge-offs of $2.2 million of a previously established reserve to loans individually evaluated on one multifamily loan and $5.6 million on one equipment finance relationship. 

At December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $65.9 million (1.21% of total loans), compared to $68.6 million (1.25% of loans) at September 30, 2023, and $60.8 million (1.15% of loans) at December 31, 2022.

Capital

The Company’s capital position benefited by net income of $8.6 million during the December 2023 quarter, which was partially offset by the repurchase of 88,327 shares through the Company's stock repurchase program at a total cost of $2.1 million and the quarterly dividend of $891,000. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a net gain in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $16.8 million, net of tax. This amount was driven by a $21.2 million increase in the value of the available for sale securities portfolio partially offset by a $4.4 million loss on cash flow hedges. The total accumulated other comprehensive loss declined to $64.9 million as of December 31, 2023, ($69.8 million loss related to the available for sale securities portfolio partially offset by a $4.9 million gain on the cash flow hedges)

Tangible book value per share increased during Q4 2023 to $30.31 at December 31, 2023 from $28.77 at September 30, 2023. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure.  See the reconciliation tables included in this release. The Company’s and Bank’s regulatory capital ratios as of December 31, 2023 remain strong, and generally reflect increases from December 31, 2022 levels. Where applicable, such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

The Company employs quarterly capital stress testing modeling of an adverse case and severely adverse case. In the most recently completed stress test (as of September 30, 2023), under the severely adverse case, and no growth scenario, the Bank remains well capitalized over a two-year stress period.

On December 19, 2023, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on February 23, 2024 to shareholders of record on February 8, 2024.

PEAPACK-GLADSTONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION


Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts.  We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively.  We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by common shares outstanding at period end.  We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end.  We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.


The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue.  We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding other real estate owned provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue.  We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.


We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios because our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.  As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
