Evans Bancorp Reports Net Income of $24.5 Million in 2023

Evans Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Evans”) (NYSE American: EVBN), a community financial services company serving Western New York since 1920, today reported results of operations for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Completed the sale of The Evans Agency (“TEA”) to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co, netting a pretax gain of $20.2 million in the fourth quarter
  • Repositioned balance sheet with sale of $78 million of investment securities – proceeds used to reduce short-term borrowings; resulted in recognized pretax loss of $5.0 million in the quarter but improves forward net interest income
  • Total loan balances of $1.7 billion up 1% in the quarter and 3% year-over-year
  • Fourth quarter net interest margin of 2.75% declined 4 basis points sequentially
  • Tangible book value per share increased 25% to $32.07 at December 31, 2023 compared with prior year’s fourth quarter
  • Paid dividends of $1.32 per share in 2023, up 5%

Net income was $10.2 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with $3.6 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2023 and $6.0 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, in last year’s fourth quarter. On November 30, 2023, the Company sold The Evans Agency to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., and recognized a pretax gain of $20.2 million. In addition, the Company strategically repositioned its balance sheet by selling $78 million of investment securities, primarily available-for-sale U.S. Treasuries and government-sponsored agency securities, and used the proceeds to pay down short-term borrowings. This action resulted in $5.0 million of pretax losses on investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2023 with expected positive forward impact on net interest income. Return on average equity was 25.73% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with 9.06% in the third quarter of 2023 and 16.07% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the full year of 2023, net income increased 10% to $24.5 million, or $4.48 per diluted share, compared with $22.4 million, or $4.04 per diluted share, in 2022. The increase mainly reflected the gain on sale of the insurance agency partially offset by lower net interest income and loss on investment securities. Allowance for credit losses was reduced by $2.7 million from the prior year as a result of improving economic factors, including peer metrics, and a $1.5 million charge-off of a single commercial loan during 2022. The return on average equity was 15.47% for 2023 compared with 13.49% in 2022.

“Evans’ performance in 2023 was characterized by resiliency,” commented David J. Nasca, President and CEO of Evans Bancorp, Inc. “With a backdrop of interest rate pressure and macro-economic factors such as inflation, potential recession and liquidity demands, the dedicated work of the entire Evans team successfully protected and served client relationships, and maintained funding and liquidity. Actions were also taken to control costs, deliver efficiencies, and improve customer experience with investments in technology and process improvements.

“During the fourth quarter, we executed two strategic initiatives. The sale of The Evans Agency resulted in significant value creation including measurable growth in our tangible book value with an after-tax gain of approximately $13 million and elimination of almost $12 million of goodwill and other intangibles. The proceeds from the transaction strengthened capital which allows flexibility to strategically redeploy back into our core banking franchise, including the restructure in our balance sheet which was completed in the fourth quarter to reduce lower yielding investment assets and reduce borrowings which we expect to improve returns in 2024.”

Net interest income of $13.9 million was down $0.3 million, or 2%, from the third quarter and $5.3 million, or 27%, from last year’s fourth quarter as a result of higher interest expense related to the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities produced by competitive pricing on deposits.

Fourth quarter net interest margin of 2.75% declined 4 basis points from the trailing third quarter and 102 basis points from the prior-year period. The yield on loans increased 18 basis points compared with the third quarter and 55 basis points year-over-year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.87% compared with 2.59% in the third quarter of 2023 and 0.86% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The $0.3 million provision for credit losses in the current quarter was due to loan growth and higher reserves on individually analyzed loans, partially offset by improving economic factors, including peer group metrics.

“The transaction to restructure the balance sheet reduces a portion of the Bank’s liability sensitivity, increases future net interest income, and has just over a two-year payback after paying down higher rate borrowings,” commented John Connerton, Chief Financial Officer of Evans Bank. “We remain focused on growing consumer and commercial core deposits, and while our deposit levels saw some contraction during the quarter, a large component was attributable to normal commercial and municipal deposit seasonality. We believe we are managing the current rate environment well by retaining key relationships, which along with capital growth puts us in a favorable position.”

Excluding the fourth quarter’s one-time transactions relating to the gain on the sale of TEA and loss on sale of securities, non-interest income would have been $3.4 million.

Insurance service and fee revenue of $1.6 million reflects two months of revenue earned by TEA. Insurance service and fee revenue was also higher in the third quarter of 2023 due to premium seasonality.

Other income decreased $0.2 million from the third quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in value of mortgage servicing rights. The decrease from last year’s fourth quarter was primarily due to a $0.2 million gain on sale of an asset that was acquired in foreclosure and sold in the fourth quarter of 2022, and also included $0.2 million of revenue recognized relating to rents received from the acquired asset prior to the sale.

Total non-interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 13%, from the third quarter of 2023, and $1.4 million, or 9%, from last year’s fourth quarter.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.5 million, or 17%, from the sequential quarter, largely due to higher incentive accruals of $2.2 million, partially offset by reduced staff expenses including former insurance employees. The increase from the prior year’s fourth quarter was due to higher incentive accruals of $1.6 million, partially offset by a reduction of staff expenses through consolidation of branches, back-office operations, and sale of TEA.

The increase in other expenses compared with both comparative periods was due to $0.3 million of charitable contributions made during the current quarter.

The Company’s GAAP efficiency ratio, or noninterest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 50.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023, 72.7% in the third quarter of 2023, and 62.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Income tax expense was $5.7 million, for an effective tax rate of 36.1%, in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 26.2% in the third quarter of 2023 and 23.0% in last year’s fourth quarter. The elevated tax rate in the 2023 fourth quarter reflected the sale of TEA which included significant non-deductible goodwill expense.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Total assets were $2.11 billion as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of $66 million, or 3% since September 30, 2023, and $69 million, or 3% since December 31, 2022. The change from comparative periods was due to the sale of investment securities, partially offset by an increase in loan balances. Loan balances increased $17 million, or 1%, during the fourth quarter and reflected higher commercial real estate loans of $13 million and residential mortgages of $3 million. Since December 31, 2022, loan balances increased $49 million, or 3%, due to higher commercial real estate loans of $73 million and residential mortgages of $3 million, partially offset by a decrease in commercial and industrial loans of $27 million.

Investment securities were $278 million at December 31, 2023, $59 million lower than the end of the third quarter of 2023 and $94 million lower than the end of last year’s fourth quarter. The decrease reflects the strategic decision to sell $78 million of investment securities as well as changes in unrealized gains and losses on investment securities and maturities within the available-for-sale investment portfolio. The primary objectives of the Company’s investment portfolio are to provide liquidity, secure municipal deposits, and maximize income while preserving the safety of principal. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the remaining portfolio through recovery of value.

Total deposits of $1.72 billion decreased $87 million, or 5%, from September 30, 2023, and were down $53 million, or 3%, from the end of last year’s fourth quarter. The change from the sequential quarter largely reflected typical seasonal outflows from commercial and municipal relationships. From a product perspective, deposit decreases were in demand deposits of $57 million, municipal savings of $29 million, commercial savings of $14 million, consumer savings of $7 million, and consumer time deposits of $1 million. Offsetting those decreases were higher NOW deposits of $21 million.

While the Company has not experienced a significant outflow of deposits, in the event of such occurrences, it has access to alternate sources of funding to meet withdrawal demands. As of December 31, 2023, Evans had $53 million in overnight borrowings at the FHLB. Given the current collateral available at FHLB, advances up to $364 million can be drawn on the FHLB via the Company’s overnight line of credit. Additionally, Evans has the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve and participates in the Bank Term Funding Program. At December 31, 2023, Evans had $86 million in short-term borrowings with the Federal Reserve and $8 million in additional availability to borrow against collateral.

Capital Management

The Company has consistently maintained regulatory capital ratios measurably above the Federal “well capitalized” standard, including a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 10.37% at December 31, 2023 compared with 9.40% at September 30, 2023 and 9.13% at December 31, 2022.

Book value per share was $32.40 at December 31, 2023 compared with $27.52 at September 30, 2023 and $28.32 at December 31, 2022. Reflected in the book value changes are the Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes that have resulted in significant unrealized losses on investment securities. As of December 31, 2023 this amounted to $7.41 per share impact to book value. Such unrealized gains and losses are due to changes in interest rates and represent the difference, net of applicable income tax effect, between the estimated fair value and amortized cost of investment securities classified as available-for-sale.

Tangible book value per share was $32.07 at December 31, 2023 compared with $25.04 at September 30, 2023 and $25.76 at December 31, 2022.

For the full year of 2023, cash dividends totaled $1.32 per share, up 5% over 2022.

2023 Year in Review (compared with prior-year)

Net interest income was $61.2 million, down 16%. The yield on loans increased 86 basis points while competition on deposits and changes in customer behaviors contributed to the 189 basis points increase in cost of funds during 2023. Net interest margin was 3.02%, a decrease of 51 basis points.

The Company’s provision for credit loss was less than $0.1 million, which reflected improving economic conditions, including peer group metrics, partially offset by loan growth and specific reserve related individually analyzed loans. Provision for loan loss in 2022 included a $1.5 million charge-off of a single commercial loan and loan growth, partially offset by a decrease of criticized loans. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.59% compared with 1.48% in 2022.

Non-interest income was up $13.7 million to $32.9 million. The increase was due to the gain on sale of the insurance agency of $20.2 million, partially offset by loss on sale of investment securities of $5 million, reduced bank services charges of $0.3 million, and lower insurance service and fee revenue of $0.2 million. Included in non-interest income during 2022 was a gain on sale of an asset that was acquired in foreclosure of $0.2 million, as well as $0.2 million of revenue recognized relating to rents received from the acquired asset and a $0.2 million final payment in connection with a historic tax credit investment.

Non-interest expense decreased $0.6 million, or 1%, to $59.4 million. Current year decreases included salaries and employee benefits of $1.8 million and loan expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by higher technology and communication expenses of $0.8 million, charitable contributions of $0.3 million, and FDIC insurance expense of $0.4 million.

The Company’s GAAP efficiency ratio was 63.1% in 2023 compared with 65.0% in 2022.

Income tax expense for the year was $10.2 million, representing an effective tax rate of 29.4% compared with an effective tax rate of 24.2% in 2022.
