Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (NYSE: GNTY) (the “Company”), the
parent company of Guaranty Bank & Trust, N.A. (the “Bank”),
today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March
31, 2024. The Company’s net income available to common shareholders
was $6.7 million, or $0.58 per basic share, for the quarter ended
March 31, 2024, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.51 per basic share,
for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 and $8.3 million, or $0.69
per basic share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Return on
average assets and average equity for the first quarter of 2024
were 0.85% and 8.93%, respectively, compared to 0.73% and 7.93%,
respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 1.01% and 11.18%,
respectively, for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in
earnings during the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth
quarter of 2023 was primarily due to higher non-interest income and
lower non-interest expense. The decrease in earnings in the first
quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023 was primarily
due to lower net interest income in the current quarter compared to
the prior year quarter.
“We are pleased with our first quarter 2024 results. During the
quarter, net interest margin continued to improve, we paid down
borrowings from the FHLB, we repaid the remaining $25.0 million of
brokered CDs that were obtained to test as a source of liquidity,
our core deposits are stable and grew slightly and credit quality
remains manageable. Although we’ve strategically shrunk the balance
sheet primarily through more conservative loan underwriting, our
balance sheet remains strong and continues to provide consistent
earnings results. Liquidity and capital remain solid and our board
of directors increased the dividend paid on GNTY stock from $0.23
last quarter to $0.24 this quarter, further improving shareholder
returns and value,” said Ty Abston, the Company’s Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer.
QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
- Good Earnings and Improving NIM. Earnings were good in
the first quarter as net interest margin improved and non-interest
income was boosted from sales of SBA and mortgage loans as well as
recoveries from previously marked-down receivables due from the
SBA. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, has
continued to improve from 3.02% in the third quarter of 2023 to
3.11% in the fourth quarter of 2023 and 3.16% in the first quarter
of 2024. The improvements have resulted primarily from a slow-down
in deposit cost increases, while earning assets have continued to
reprice upward. The SBA receivable was related to the guaranteed
portion of three SBA loans that were acquired from Westbound Bank.
The receivable was partially written down in the third quarter of
2022, as there was uncertainty at that time about possible SBA
haircuts in the guaranteed portion due to file documentation.
However, after extensive review by the SBA, the full amount of
guarantees was received during the first quarter of 2024.
- Stable Asset Quality. Although we are seeing some
deterioration for certain borrowers, overall credit quality remains
strong and the expected losses on deteriorating credits are low
primarily due to the Bank's equity position and/or strong guarantor
support. During the quarter, we foreclosed on a multi-purpose
commercial real estate loan in a vibrant location in the South
Austin area and recorded other real estate owned of $14.9 million.
A recent appraisal indicates an LTV (prior to foreclosure) of
68.5%. Interest in purchasing the property has been high and we are
in discussions with several interested parties. We expect little or
no loss on the sale of this other real estate owned. Nonperforming
assets as a percentage of total assets were 0.68% at March 31,
2024, compared to 0.18% at December 31, 2023 and 0.40% at March 31,
2023. Net charge-offs (annualized) to average loans were 0.02% for
the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 0.04% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2023, and 0.00% for the quarter ended March 31,
2023. Commercial real estate (CRE) loans, particularly office
related loans, have received increased scrutiny in recent months.
As of March 31, 2024, our CRE loans and real estate C&D loans
represent 40.0% and 12.1% of the total loan portfolio,
respectively, and office-related loans represent 4.6% of the total
loan portfolio and have an average balance of $516,000.
- Granular and Consistent Core Deposit Base. As of March
31, 2024, we have 88,493 total deposit accounts with an average
account balance of $29,696. We have a historically reliable core
deposit base, with strong and trusted banking relationships. Total
deposits decreased by $5.4 million during the first quarter, which
resulted primarily from the maturity of $25.0 million in brokered
deposits in February 2024 that we did not renew. Excluding these
brokered CDs, total core deposits grew $19.6 million during the
first quarter. DDA balances decreased $27.1 million, savings and
MMDA balances increased $30.8 million and time deposits (excluding
matured brokered CDs) increased $15.9 million. Excluding public
funds and bank-owned accounts, our uninsured deposits as of March
31, 2024 were 25.43% of total deposits. Interest rates paid on
deposits during the quarter stabilized with minimal increases.
Despite the decrease in DDA during the quarter, noninterest-bearing
deposits still represent 31.5% of total deposits. Our cost of
interest-bearing deposits increased eight basis points during the
quarter from 3.17% in the prior quarter to 3.25%. This increase was
primarily due to renewals of maturing certificates of deposit into
new CDs paying higher rates and the shift from noninterest-bearing
balances to interest-bearing. Our cost of total deposits for the
first quarter of 2024 increased nine basis points from 2.14% in the
prior quarter to 2.23%†.
- Healthy Capital and Liquidity. Our capital and liquidity
ratios, as well as contingent liquidity sources, remain very
healthy. During the first quarter of 2024, we repurchased 11,651
shares of our common stock, or 0.10% of average shares outstanding
during the period, at an average price of $28.76 per share. Our
liquidity ratio, calculated as cash and cash equivalents and
unpledged investments divided by total liabilities, was 10.6% as of
March 31, 2024, compared to 15.3% as of March 31, 2023. Our total
available contingent liquidity, net of current outstanding
borrowings, was $1.3 billion, consisting of FHLB, FRB and
correspondent bank fed funds and revolving lines of credit.
Finally, our total equity to average quarterly assets as of March
31, 2024 was 9.6%. If we had to recognize our entire unrealized
losses on both AFS and HTM securities, our total equity to average
assets ratio would be 8.8%†, which we believe represents a strong
capital level under regulatory requirements.
† Non-GAAP financial metric. Calculations
of this metric and reconciliations to GAAP are included in the
schedules accompanying this release.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, in
the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $23.6 million and $25.2
million, respectively, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 6.3%. The
decrease in net interest income resulted from an increase in
interest expense of $5.2 million, or 43.3%, compared to the prior
year quarter, which was partially offset by an increase in interest
income of $3.6 million, or 9.7%, from the same quarter in the prior
year. The increases in both interest income and expense resulted
primarily from higher rates during the period. Interest expense was
also somewhat impacted by a shift from noninterest-bearing to
interest-bearing deposit accounts, which resulted in increased
expense in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year
quarter. Our noninterest-bearing deposits to total deposits were
31.5% and 37.8% as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis, for
the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 3.16% and 3.24%,
respectively. Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent
basis, decreased nine basis points primarily due to
interest-bearing liabilities repricing faster than our
interest-earning assets during the period. The cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased 98 basis points from the
prior year quarter, while interest earning asset yields increased
70 basis points. The increase in the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities was due primarily to an increase in the cost of
interest-bearing deposits from 1.91% to 3.25%, a change of 134
basis points, in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same
period in 2023, as well as increased rates on FHLB advances, which
increased from 4.94% to 5.45%, an increase of 51 basis points, from
the prior year quarter. The increases in cost were partially offset
by increases in yield on the loan portfolio from 5.46% to 6.21%, or
75 basis points, as well as 109 and 13 basis point increases in
yield on AFS and HTM securities, respectively. Although the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities have repriced more quickly during this
period, the weighted average yield on $62.9 million in new loans
originated in the first quarter was 8.39%.
Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses,
decreased $226,000, or 0.9%, from $23.8 million in the fourth
quarter of 2023 to $23.6 million in the first quarter of 2024. The
decrease in net interest income resulted primarily from an increase
in interest expense of $182,000, or 1.1%, and a decrease in
interest income of $44,000, or 0.1%. The decrease in interest
income was primarily due to a decrease in gross loans of $57.3
million, or 2.5%.
Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis,
increased from 3.11% for the fourth quarter of 2023 to 3.16% for
the first quarter of 2024, an increase of four basis points. The
increase in net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent
basis, was primarily due to an increase on loan yield from 6.06%
for the fourth quarter of 2023 to 6.21% for the first quarter of
2024, a change of 15 basis points, and a decrease in total
interest-earning assets during the first quarter of 2024. This
increase was partially offset by an increase in the cost of
interest-bearing deposits from 3.17% in the fourth quarter of 2023
to 3.25% in the first quarter of 2024, a change of eight basis
points.
We recorded a $250,000 reversal to our provision for credit
losses during the first quarter of 2024. Our loan balances
decreased $57.3 million during the quarter, while credit quality
trends remained relatively stable and the qualitative factors used
to account for changes in economic conditions and expected losses
were adjusted in 2023. Those assumptions remain relevant in the
current quarter, thus no additional q-factor adjustments were made
in the current quarter. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023,
our allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was
1.35% and 1.33%, respectively.
Noninterest income increased $353,000, or 7.2%, in the first
quarter of 2024 to $5.3 million, compared to $4.9 million for the
first quarter of 2023. The increase from the same quarter in 2023
was primarily due to $499,000 in recoveries made on three SBA loans
during the first quarter of 2024. This was partially offset by a
$130,000 decrease in the gain on mortgage loans sold and a decrease
on the gain on sale of loans of $42,000, or 13.4%, along with a
$27,000, or 39.7%, decrease in mortgage fee income compared to the
same quarter in the prior year.
Noninterest expense increased $725,000, or 3.6%, in the first
quarter of 2024 to $20.7 million, compared to $20.0 million for the
first quarter of 2023. The increase in noninterest expense in the
first quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by a $189,000, or 32.4%,
increase in legal and professional fees primarily related to
recruiting fees, an increase in software and technology expense of
$246,000, or 17.6%, and a $173,000, or 1.4%, increase in employee
compensation and benefits compared to the first quarter of 2023.
These were partially offset by a $98,000, or 36.7%, decrease in
advertising and promotions expense.
Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2024 increased by
$462,000, or 9.6%, from $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in other noninterest
income of $454,000, or 65.0%, primarily the result of $499,000 in
recoveries made on three SBA loans and an increase in the gain on
sale of loans of $76,000, or 38.8%, during the first quarter of
2024.
Noninterest expense decreased $710,000, or 3.3%, in the first
quarter of 2024, from $21.4 million for the quarter ended December
31, 2023. The decrease resulted from a $278,000, or 2.2%, decrease
in employee compensation and benefits due to a retirement accrual
booked in the fourth quarter of 2023, which was not present in
2024. Additionally, there was a $183,000, or 52.0%, decrease in
advertising and promotions expense, a $182,000, or 19.1%, decrease
in legal and professional fees and a $98,000, or 5.6%, decrease in
software and technology expense during the first quarter of 2024
compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.
The Company’s efficiency ratio in the first quarter of 2024 was
71.74%, compared to 66.41% in the prior year quarter and 74.81% in
the fourth quarter of 2024.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Consolidated assets for the Company totaled $3.13 billion at
March 31, 2024, compared to $3.18 billion at December 31, 2023 and
$3.36 billion at March 31, 2023.
Gross loans decreased by $57.3 million, or 2.5%, during the
quarter resulting in a gross loan balance of $2.27 billion at March
31, 2024, compared to $2.32 billion at December 31, 2023. Our
decline in loans resulted primarily from tighter underwriting due
to the current economic environment and from lower demand from
potential borrowers.
Gross loans decreased $112.6 million, or 4.7%, from $2.38
billion at March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross loans during the
first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023
resulted from tightened credit underwriting standards and loan
terms, along with fewer borrower requests in response to higher
interest rates. Additionally, there was a $10.7 million decrease in
warehouse lending loans, as we discontinued that line of business
in the second quarter of 2023.
Total deposits decreased by $5.4 million, or 0.2%, to $2.63
billion at March 31, 2024, compared to $2.63 billion at December
31, 2023, and increased $4.5 million, or 0.2%, from $2.62 billion
at March 31, 2023. The decrease in deposits during the first
quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 was the
result of a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits of $24.1
million, offset by an increase in interest-bearing deposits of
$18.7 million. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits included
the maturity of $25.0 million in brokered CDs in February 2024 that
we did not renew. The increase in deposits during the current
quarter compared to the prior year quarter resulted primarily from
an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $168.1 million,
partially offset by a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits of
$163.7 million.
Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans were 0.94%
at March 31, 2024, compared to 0.25% at December 31, 2023 and 0.57%
at March 31, 2023. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total
assets were 0.68% at March 31, 2024, compared to 0.18% at December
31, 2023, and 0.40% at March 31, 2023. The Bank’s nonperforming
assets consist primarily of other real estate owned and nonaccrual
loans. The increase in nonperforming assets compared to the prior
year end and prior year quarter was primarily due to the increase
in other real estate owned, which is described in the quarterly
highlights above.
Total equity was $305.9 million at March 31, 2024, compared to
$303.8 million at December 31, 2023 and $300.3 million at March 31,
2023. The increase in total equity compared to the prior year end
and prior year quarter resulted primarily from net income of $6.7
million, the payment of dividends of $2.8 million during the period
and a reduction in repurchases during the first quarter of 2024
compared to prior quarters.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present,
including “tangible book value per common share,” “net unrealized
loss on securities, tax effected, as a percentage of total equity”
and “cost of total deposits” are supplemental measures that are not
required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these
financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We
consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios
to be useful for financial and operational decision making and
useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that
these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental
information regarding our performance by excluding certain
expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our
primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics
on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and
investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial
measures in assessing our performance and when planning,
forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future
periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a
substitute for financial information presented in accordance with
GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone
as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we
present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our
peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by
providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the
non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of
the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial
measure so that both measures and the individual components may be
considered when analyzing our performance.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the
comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of the
financial statement tables.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This communication contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views
with respect to, among other things, future events and our results
of operations, financial condition and financial performance. These
statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words
or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,”
“potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,”
“will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,”
“projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of
those words or other comparable words of a future or
forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not
historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates
and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and
certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their
nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control.
Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject
to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in
these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date
made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the
results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, without limitation, the “Risk Factors”
referenced in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and other risks and
uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We can give no
assurance that any goal or plan or expectation set forth in
forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this
communication, and we do not intend, and assume no obligation, to
update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances,
except as required by applicable law.
