Westamerica Bancorporation (Nasdaq: WABC), parent company of
Westamerica Bank, generated net income for the fourth quarter 2023
of $39.5 million and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") of
$1.48. Fourth quarter 2023 results include an increase to the book
tax provision to reconcile the 2022 income tax provision to the
filed 2022 tax returns, which reduced EPS $0.02. Fourth quarter
2023 results compare to third quarter 2023 net income of $41.6
million and EPS of $1.56.
"Westamerica’s fourth quarter 2023 results benefited from the
Company’s valuable low-cost deposit base, of which 48 percent was
represented by non-interest bearing checking accounts during the
quarter. The annualized cost of funding our loan and bond
portfolios was 0.11 percent in the fourth quarter 2023. The
Company’s customer deposits and shareholders’ equity fully funded
our interest earning assets during the fourth quarter 2023; the
Company did not take in brokered deposits, or borrow from the
Federal Reserve Bank or correspondent banks. Operating expenses
remained well controlled and nonperforming assets were stable,”
said Chairman, President and CEO David Payne. “Fourth quarter 2023
results generated an annualized 16.7 percent return on average
common equity. Shareholders were paid a $0.44 per common share
dividend during the fourth quarter 2023,” concluded Payne.
Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent (FTE) basis
was $69.7 million for the fourth quarter 2023, compared to $72.1
million for the third quarter 2023. The annualized yield earned on
loans, bonds and cash for the fourth quarter 2023 was 4.52 percent,
up from 4.50 percent for the third quarter 2023. The annualized
cost of funding the loan and bond portfolios was 0.11 percent for
the fourth quarter 2023, compared to 0.07 percent for the third
quarter 2023.
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter 2023 totaled $11.0
million compared to $11.3 million for the third quarter 2023. Third
quarter 2023 results include a $278 thousand life insurance
gain.
Noninterest expenses for the fourth quarter 2023 were $25.5
million compared to $25.7 million for the third quarter 2023.
The income tax provision for the fourth quarter 2023 includes a
$492 thousand increase to reconcile the 2022 income tax provision
to the filed 2022 tax returns.

(1) The Company received a $1.2 million reconciling payment
from a payments network in the first quarter 2022. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
(2) A recovery of a previously charged off loan in the
first quarter 2023 resulted in a $1,550 thousand reversal of the
allowance for credit loss provision in the first quarter
2023. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
(3) Debt Securities Held To Maturity and Obligations of
States and Political Subdivisions are net of related reserve for
expected credit losses of $1 thousand at December 31, 2023,
September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. |

(FTE) Fully Taxable Equivalent. The Company presents its
net interest margin and net interest income on a FTE basis using
the current statutory federal tax rate. Management believes the FTE
basis is valuable to the reader because the Company’s loan and
investment securities portfolios contain a portion of municipal
loans and securities that are federally tax exempt. The Company’s
tax exempt loans and securities composition may not be similar to
that of other banks, therefore in order to reflect the impact of
the federally tax exempt loans and securities on the net interest
margin and net interest income for comparability with other banks,
the Company presents its net interest margin and net interest
income on a FTE basis. |
