EVBN Evans Bancorp Inc

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 first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS

• First quarter net interest margin of 2.79% expanded 4 basis points sequentially
• Total loan balances of $1.7 billion up $63 million, or 4%, year-over-year
• Robust loan pipeline of $95 million
• Total deposits of $1.9 billion increased $173 million, or 10%, in the quarter, and were up $41 million, or 2%, from the end of last year’s first quarter
• Comparative periods include business activity relating to The Evans Agency (TEA) prior to the sale to Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. on November 30, 2023

Net income was $2.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $10.2 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $5.8 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in last year’s first quarter. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2023 included a gain of $14 million, net of taxes, from the sale of TEA, $1.5 million of insurance revenue recognized prior to the sale, and a pretax loss on the sale of investment securities of $5 million. The change in net income from prior-year period was due to lower net interest income of $3.4 million, an increase in loan provision of $0.9 million, and a decrease in non-interest income of $1.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense of $1.6 million. Return on average equity was 5.28% for the first quarter of 2024, compared with 25.73% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 14.97% in the first quarter of 2023.

David J. Nasca, President and CEO of Evans Bancorp, Inc., commented, “First quarter results reflect solid performance across key business segments. Against a continuing challenging environment our net interest margin demonstrated resilience, expanding slightly. While the cost of funding continues to rise, the rate of increase is decelerating, which implies a positive outlook. Success in deposit gathering during the quarter lays a strong foundation for future asset growth. We are particularly optimistic relative to our significant loan pipeline approximating $95 million. The pipeline expansion has been bolstered by strategic investments in our commercial banking team, notably within the Rochester market area. This talent has us positioned favorably to capitalize on emerging opportunities. We continue to have a relentless focus on expense management as operating efficiency fortifies our results and, along with the capital that was strengthened last quarter with the proceeds from the sale of our insurance agency, supports our position as we navigate through economic pressure which is expected to persist for a period of time.”

Net interest income of $13.9 million was flat compared with the fourth quarter of 2023 but was $3.4 million, or 20%, lower from last year’s first quarter as a result of higher interest expense related to the increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities produced by competitive pricing on deposits.

First quarter net interest margin of 2.79% increased 4 basis points from the trailing fourth quarter but decreased 67 basis points from the prior-year period. The yield on loans increased 13 basis points compared with the fourth quarter and 40 basis points year-over-year. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.04% compared with 2.87% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 1.65% in the first quarter of 2023.

The $0.3 million provision for credit losses in the current quarter was due to slower prepayment rates, and higher net loan charge-offs, partially offset by improving economic factors.

Total non-interest income was down $16.3 million from the sequential quarter. The reduction from the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to the gain on sale of TEA of $20.2 million and $1.5 million in TEA insurance revenue offset by the $5.0 million investment loss, which were all recognized in the sequential quarter. The remaining increase in non-interest income from the fourth quarter was primarily due to an increase in the value of mortgage servicing rights.

Total non-interest income was down $1.8 million when compared with the first quarter of 2023. The majority of the reduction was related to $2.3 million in TEA insurance revenue recognized in the first quarter of 2023. This was offset by an increase in the value of mortgage servicing rights during the first quarter of 2024.

Non-interest expenses decreased $3.4 million from the sequential quarter and $1.6 million from the prior-year period.

The decrease in non-interest expenses from the fourth quarter of 2023 was due to lower incentive accruals of $2.1 million and $1.0 million of non-interest expenses related to TEA, primarily salaries and employee benefits that were recognized during the fourth quarter of 2023 prior to the sale. In addition, $0.3 million of charitable contributions and $0.1 million of pension settlement expenses of which both were included in other expenses during the sequential quarter.

The decrease in non-interest expenses from the first quarter of 2023 was due to $1.8 million of non-interest expenses relating to TEA, of which salaries and employee benefits was $1.5 million. During the first quarter of 2023 salaries and employee benefits, excluding the $1.5 million related to TEA, was $7.9 million, flat with the first quarter of 2024. The remaining increase in total non-interest expense of $0.2 million was due to higher technology and communications expenses recognized by the Bank during the first quarter of 2024.

The Company’s GAAP efficiency ratio, or noninterest expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 79.92% in the first quarter of 2024, 50.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023, and 67.6% in the first quarter of 2023.

Income tax expense was $0.6 million, for an effective tax rate of 21.7%, in the first quarter of 2024 compared with 36.1% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 23.6% in last year’s first quarter. The elevated tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected the sale of TEA which included significant non-deductible goodwill expense.

Balance Sheet Highlights

“We strategically strengthened our balance sheet during the current quarter. We added $55 million of brokered deposits at favorable rates and lengthened maturities of approximately $40 million of overnight borrowings in order to manage interest rate risk. Overall, we are confident in our ability to navigate the evolving market dynamics and expect our current liquidity position to be the foundation that supports expected commercial loan growth of approximately 5% in 2024,” commented John Connerton, Chief Financial Officer of Evans Bank.

Total assets were $2.26 billion as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $151 million, or 7%, since December 31, 2023, and $112 million, or 5%, since March 31, 2023. Interest-bearing deposits at banks increased $161 million from both comparative periods. In addition, when compared with the prior-year period, loan growth increased $63 million, partially offset by a decrease in investment securities of $98 million. Since March 31, 2023, commercial real estate loans increased $76 million, while commercial and industrial loans were down $15 million.

Investment securities were $272 million at March 31, 2024, $6 million lower than the end of the fourth quarter of 2023 and $98 million lower than the end of last year’s first quarter. The Company sold $78 million of investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2023 and used the proceeds to reduce short-term borrowings. 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 $1.89 billion increased $173 million, or 10%, from December 31, 2023, and $41 million, or 2%, from the end of last year’s first quarter. The change from the sequential quarter largely reflected an increase in brokered time deposits and deposits from municipal relationships. From a product perspective, deposit increases were in municipal saving deposits of $69 million, brokered time deposits of $55 million, NOW deposits of $37 million, demand deposits of $9 million, and consumer time deposits of $6 million. Offsetting those increases were lower commercial savings of $3 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. At March 31, 2024, Evans has $43 million borrowed at FHLB. Given the current collateral available at FHLB, advances up to $382 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. At March 31, 2024, Evans had $88 million in short-term borrowings with the Federal Reserve and $5 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 10.52% at March 31, 2024 compared with 10.37% at December 31, 2023 and 9.13% at March 31, 2023.

Book value per share was $31.62 at March 31, 2024 compared with $32.40 at December 31, 2023 and $28.97 at March 31, 2023. 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 March 31, 2024, this amounted to $7.83 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.

Non-GAAP tangible book value per share was $31.29 at March 31, 2024 compared with $32.07 at December 31, 2023 and $26.44 at March 31, 2023. The increase over the prior-year period reflected the sale of TEA, which resulted in significant value creation including growth in tangible book value.

On February 20, 2024, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.66 per common share, which was paid on April 9, 2024.
