Eagle Bancorp Montana Earns a Record $6.4 Million, or $0.94 per Diluted Share, in Third Quarter 2020; Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.0975 per Share

HELENA, Montana, Oct. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (NASDAQ: EBMT), (the “Company,” “Eagle”), the holding company of Opportunity Bank of Montana, today reported net income in the third quarter of 2020 increased 55.4% to $6.4 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the third quarter a year ago, reflecting the high level of contributions from mortgage banking and gains from sale of loans. Net income increased 11.2% when compared to $5.7 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the preceding quarter. In the first nine months of 2020, net income increased 88.0% to $16.0 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, compared to $8.5 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2019.

Eagle’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0975 per share on October 22, 2020. The dividend will be payable December 4, 2020 to shareholders of record November 13, 2020. The current annualized dividend yield is 2.04% based on recent market prices.

“Our record third quarter results were highlighted by higher mortgage banking operations, as a result of the historically low interest rate environment, and substantial gains from loan sales. Despite a highly competitive market, our loan growth has been substantial, and our loan pipeline remains strong,” said Peter J. Johnson, President and CEO. “We remain focused on supporting our customers, communities and employees while prudently managing risk. While our third quarter operating performance was strong, we continued to see the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences on our Montana communities. During the third quarter the Montana Board of Investments (MBOI) began offering 12-months of interest payment assistance to qualified borrowers. We are closely monitoring borrowers and businesses we service and are providing debt service relief for those who have been impacted.”  

COVID-19 Preparations as of September 30, 2020:

  • Industry Exposure: Eagle’s exposure, as a percentage of total loans, to some of the industries with business revenues dramatically impacted by the pandemic include health care and social assistance (28.89%), hotels and lodging (28.51%), bars and restaurants (18.59%), casinos (8.83%), and nursing homes (3.21%).
  • Loan Accommodations: The bank has offered multiple accommodation options to its clients, including 90-day deferrals, interest only payments, and forbearances. As of September 30, 2020, remaining loan modifications for 66 borrowers represented $55.3 million in loans or 6.51% of total loans, compared to 315 borrowers, representing $125.7 million or 15.0% of total loans, three months earlier. Approximately 56.14% of loans originally modified, or 249 borrowers, are now performing according to the loan agreements, and an estimated additional 34 borrowers, representing $26.8 million in loans, are expected to return to normal status before year end. The bank qualified 26 borrowers for the MBOI program representing $23.7 million in loans, which are included in the third quarter modification totals. There remain approximately 76 forbearances approved for residential mortgage loans, of which 68 are sold and serviced. Utilization of credit lines were 83.4% at the end of the third quarter, compared to 83.4% at the end of the previous quarter, which aligns with historical usage rates.   
  • Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP): Eagle began taking loan applications from its small business clients immediately after the program was implemented in April 2020, and as of the close of the program, Eagle had helped 758 of its customers receive $45.2 million in SBA PPP loans. Eagle is now starting to process applications for PPP loan forgiveness for customers, with 569 loans, representing $9.9 million, qualifying for the streamlined PPP loan forgiveness application.
  • Provision for Loan Losses: Due to the economic slowdown resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Eagle recorded total provision for loan losses of $854,000 for the third quarter of 2020 with $404,000 related to economic slowdown and $450,000 related to loan growth.
  • Deposit Accommodations: The Bank halted deposit fees associated with early withdrawal requests to assist depositors with funding needs.
  • Liquidity Changes: Through the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the liquidity level remained consistent with the prior quarters. Eagle used Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) as a partial source of funding for its SBA PPP loans.

Recent Events

On June 10, 2020, Eagle issued $15 million in subordinated notes to certain qualified institutional accredited investors through a private placement offering. The net cash proceeds from the sale of the subordinated notes was approximately $14.7 million, and the subordinated notes are expected to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes. Eagle intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. On July 10, 2020, the Company redeemed $10 million of existing 6.75% subordinated notes due 2025.

Acquisitions

On January 1, 2020, Eagle completed its acquisition of Western Holding Company of Wolf Point, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point, in a transaction valued at approximately $15.0 million. In the transaction, Eagle acquired one retail bank branch and approximately $104 million in assets, $87 million in deposits and $43 million in gross loans.

On January 1, 2019, Eagle completed its acquisition of Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, The State Bank of Townsend, located in Townsend, Montana, which added approximately $108 million in assets, $93 million in deposits and $89 million in gross loans.

Balance Sheet Results

Total assets increased 22.8% to $1.26 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $1.02 billion a year ago, in large part due to the Western Holding Company of Wolf Point acquisition, and grew modestly from $1.25 billion three months earlier.

“Our recent acquisitions and SBA PPP loans have supported strong balance sheet growth, with total loans increasing 12.6% year-over-year, resulting in solid overall expansion of the loan portfolio,” said Johnson. Total loans were $848.5 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $753.6 million a year earlier, and $840.8 million three months earlier.

Eagle originated $254.0 million in new residential mortgages during the quarter, excluding construction loans, and sold $266.5 million in residential mortgages, with an average gross margin on sale of mortgage loans of approximately 4.17%. This production compares to residential mortgage originations of $258.2 million in the preceding quarter with sales of $222.3 million.

Commercial real estate loans decreased 2.9% to $308.5 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $317.8 million a year earlier.   Commercial loans increased 68.8% to $123.3 million, compared to $73.1 million a year ago, reflecting SBA PPP loans originated during the second quarter and third quarter of 2020. Agricultural and farmland loans increased 36.1% to $127.4 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $93.6 million a year earlier. Residential mortgage loans decreased to $110.0 million, compared to $110.3 million a year earlier. Home equity loans increased 8.7% to $61.5 million, commercial construction and development loans increased 10.2% to $56.9 million, residential construction loans increased 30.6% to $42.8 million, and consumer loans increased 8.8% to $20.7 million, compared to a year ago.  

Total deposits increased 26.5% to $998.3 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $789.5 million at September 30, 2019, and increased 4.5% compared to $955.4 million at June 30, 2020. The increase during the quarter was partially due to SBA PPP loans funding into noninterest-bearing checking accounts. Noninterest-bearing checking accounts represent 29.5%, interest-bearing checking accounts represent 15.6%, savings accounts represent 17.0%, money market accounts comprise 18.8% and time certificates of deposit make up 19.1% of the total deposit portfolio, at September 30, 2020.

Shareholders’ equity increased 22.3% to $147.4 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $120.5 million a year earlier and increased 4.1% compared to $141.5 million three months earlier. Tangible book value increased to $18.36 per share, at September 30, 2020, compared to $15.89 per share a year earlier and $17.32 per share three months earlier.  

Operating Results

Eagle’s NIM was 3.83% in the third quarter of 2020, compared to 3.85% in the preceding quarter, and 4.15% in the third quarter a year ago. “The 175-basis point short-term interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve over the last twelve months continued to put pressure on loan yields. Also affecting our NIM was lower yields on PPP loans,” said Johnson. The interest accretion on purchased loans totaled $467,000 and resulted in a 17 basis-point increase in the NIM during the third quarter, compared to $357,000 and a 13 basis-point increase in the NIM during the preceding quarter. Year-to-date, Eagle’s NIM was 3.91% compared with 4.26% in the first nine months of 2019. The investment securities portfolio was $165.4 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $174.5 million at June 30, 2020, and $136.4 million at September 30, 2019. Average yields on earning assets for the third quarter decreased to 4.39% from 5.04% a year ago, largely due to the acquired investment portfolio of Western Holding Company of Wolf Point and adding PPP loans at a lower rate.

Eagle’s third quarter revenues were $25.7 million, a 6.7% increase compared to $24.1 million in the preceding quarter and a 42.1% increase when compared to $18.1 million in the third quarter a year ago. The year-over-year increase was a result of increased mortgage banking income and gain on sale of mortgages as well as growth from the Western Holding Company of Wolf Point acquisition. Year-to-date, revenues increased 48.0%, to $68.7 million compared to $46.4 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased 3.4% to $10.8 million in the third quarter, compared to $10.4 million in the second quarter 2020, and increased 11.1% compared to $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2019. In the first nine months of 2020, net interest income increased 10.1% to $31.7 million, compared to $28.8 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Noninterest income increased 9.3% to $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $13.7 million in the preceding quarter, and increased 77.8% compared to $8.4 million in the third quarter a year ago. The net gain on sales of mortgage loans totaled $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $7.9 million in the preceding quarter and $5.5 million in the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date, noninterest income grew 109.9% to $37.0 million, compared to $17.6 million in the first nine months of 2019.

Eagle’s third quarter noninterest expenses were $16.3 million compared to $15.1 million in the preceding quarter and $12.2 million in the third quarter a year ago. After a $1.1 million impairment expense on the mortgage servicing rights asset was recorded the preceding quarter, a recovery of $338,000 was recorded during the third quarter as a result of slower prepayments than expected.   In the first nine months of the year, noninterest expenses totaled $44.3 million, compared to $33.7 million in the first nine months of 2019.

For the third quarter of 2020, the income tax provision totaled $2.2 million, for an effective tax rate of 25.4%, compared to $2.0 million in the preceding quarter and $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2019.

Credit Quality

“Even though we continue to operate with sound credit quality metrics and minimal charge-offs, we recorded a substantial provision for loan losses during the third quarter based on the impact of the pandemic on our Montana markets,” Johnson said. The provision for loan losses was $854,000 in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $1.2 million in the preceding quarter and $694,000 in the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for loan losses represented 151.0% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2020, compared to 124.6% three months earlier and 221.0% a year earlier.

Nonperforming loans (“NPLs”) were $7.5 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $8.4 million at June 30, 2020, and $3.7 million a year earlier. The increase year-over-year in nonperforming loans was impacted by acquired loans which make up approximately $1.7 million of the balance as of September 30, 2020.

Eagle’s total other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other repossessed assets improved to $25,000 at September 30, 2020, compared to $57,000 at June 30, 2020 and $91,000 at September 30, 2019. Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”), consisting of nonaccrual loans, OREO and other repossessed assets, loans delinquent 90 days or more and restructured loans, were $7.5 million at September 30, 2020, or 0.60% of total assets, compared to $8.5 million, or 0.68% of total assets three months earlier and $3.8 million, or 0.37% of total assets a year earlier.

Net loan charge-offs totaled $55,000 in the third quarter, compared to net loan recoveries of $23,000 in the preceding quarter and charge-offs of $244,000 in the third quarter a year ago. The allowance for loan losses was $11.3 million, or 1.33% of total loans, at September 30, 2020, compared to $10.5 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2020, and $8.2 million, or 1.09% of total loans, a year ago.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States, or GAAP, the Financial Ratios and Other Data contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP disclosures include: 1) core efficiency ratio, 2) tangible book value per share, 3) tangible common equity to tangible assets, 4) earnings per diluted share, excluding acquisition costs and 5) return on average assets, excluding acquisition costs. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. In particular, the use of tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to tangible assets is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts.

The numerator for the core efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting acquisition costs and intangible asset amortization from noninterest expense. Tangible assets and tangible common shareholders’ equity are calculated by excluding intangible assets from assets and shareholders’ equity, respectively. For these financial measures, our intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangible. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common shareholders’ equity by the number of common shares outstanding. We believe that this measure is consistent with the capital treatment by our bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios and present this measure to facilitate the comparison of the quality and composition of our capital over time and in comparison, to our competitors.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Further, the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible book value per share should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for book value per share or total shareholders’ equity determined in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Reconciliation of the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are presented below.
