CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“CapStar”) (NASDAQ:CSTR) today reported net income of $8.2 million or $0.37 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared with net income of $10.0 million or $0.45 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and net income of $13.1 million or $0.59 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third quarter results include $2.1 million in losses related to Tri-Net loans, $2.2 million in two operational loss incidents, which occurred during the quarter and for which the bank is seeking a potential recovery, and $0.8 million of voluntary executive incentive reversals.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reported net income of $28.8 million or $1.30 per diluted share, compared with $36.2 million or $1.63 per diluted share, for the same period of 2021. Year to date 2022 annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.23 percent and 10.47 percent, respectively.

"CapStar's third quarter earnings did not meet our expectations nor represent CapStar's continued strong performance," said Timothy K. Schools, CapStar President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we previously communicated, loans produced in our Tri-Net division since the spring have proved challenging to achieve a gain on sale. Additional production was ceased in early July, and this quarter the Company experienced realized and unrealized losses totaling $2.1 million related to the remaining loans in process. Currently, no further Tri-Net loans exist in loans held for sale and of the $2.3 million of related losses recorded since second quarter, $900,000 are unrealized where there is a high probability that it will be recovered over time through accretion. Additionally, the Company experienced a $1.5 million wire fraud and $0.7 million operational loss for which the Company is pursuing possible recoveries."

"Whereas the current market has proved challenging for Tri-Net and we are disappointed in these operational losses, the underlying quarterly performance of the bank was outstanding. Adjusting for these items, we experienced strong operating leverage with revenue rising $600,000 and expenses declining $800,000, our net interest margin expanded to 3.50%, efficiency ratio improved to 52.81%, and charge-offs remained low at 0.02%, resulting in a return on assets of 1.39% all with no contribution from our mortgage or Tri-Net divisions. While the current interest rate environment is presenting certain challenges to industry loan demand, mortgage banking, and deposits, we are proactively managing our loan portfolio for a potential economic slowdown and remain excited about our improved profitability, expanded high-growth markets, and strengthened sales teams."

Revenue

Total revenue, defined as net interest income plus noninterest income, was $28.8 million in the third quarter. Second and third quarter revenues were negatively impacted by $0.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as the Company liquidated and transferred the remaining balance of its Tri-Net loans held for sale to loans held for investment. Adjusting for the impact of the $2.1 million Tri-Net loss, net interest income and noninterest income totaled $25.6 million and $5.4 million, an increase of $1.1 million and a decrease of $0.7 million, respectively, from the second quarter of 2022. Rising interest rates and a positive mix shift in average earning assets contributed to the increase in net interest income, while noninterest income declined due to lower Tri-Net and mortgage division revenues.

Third quarter 2022 average earning assets remained flat at $2.91 billion compared to June 30, 2022 as strong loan growth was principally funded from cash. Average loans held for investment, excluding Tri-Net loan transfers from held for sale, increased $48.2 million, or 9.2 percent linked-quarter annualized. The current commercial loan pipeline remains strong, exceeding $550 million; however, during the quarter, the Company limited commercial real estate lending to established, existing customers as a result of a softening economic outlook and in an effort to balance loan demand with an increasingly challenging deposit environment.

For the third quarter of 2022, the net interest margin increased 9 basis points from the prior quarter to 3.50 percent primarily resulting from continued increases in interest rates and the positive mix shift in average earning assets.

The Company's average deposits totaled $2.66 billion in the third quarter of 2022, flat compared to the second quarter of 2022. During the quarter, the Company experienced a $39.4 million increase in average savings and money market accounts and a $111.1 million increase in higher cost average time deposits, primarily a result of brokered deposit issuances. These increases were partially offset by a $94.3 million decrease in interest-bearing transaction accounts, creating an overall net increase of $56.3 million in average interest-bearing deposits when compared to the second quarter of 2022. During the quarter, the Company’s lowest cost deposit category, noninterest-bearing, decreased 2.3 percent to 25.0 percent of total average deposits as of September 30, 2022. Total deposit costs increased 39 basis points to 0.62 percent compared to 0.23 percent for the prior quarter. A key longer-term strategic initiative is to create a stronger deposit-led culture with an emphasis on lower cost relationship-based deposits.

Noninterest income for the third quarter was $3.3 million. Noninterest income when adjusted for the Tri-Net losses during the quarter, decreased $0.5 million from the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was attributable to a $0.9 million decline in mortgage revenue partially offset by a $0.3 million improvement in the Company’s SBA division. The Company’s mortgage division experienced a reduction in demand due to higher market rates and anticipates a difficult environment at least until the 2023 buying season returns. Tri-Net production remains halted until interest rates and the associated market stabilizes.

Noninterest Expense and Operating Efficiency

Improving productivity and operating efficiency is a key focus of the Company. During the quarter, the Company continued to exhibit strong expense discipline. Noninterest expense was $17.7 million for the third quarter. Noninterest expense when adjusted for the previously discussed $2.2 million in operational losses and $0.8 million executive incentive reversal, decreased $0.8 million from the second quarter of 2022 to $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. Additionally, as a result of the challenging mortgage environment, annualized mortgage expenses were reduced by approximately $0.4 million in the third quarter with the majority of the benefit to begin in fourth quarter of 2022.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the efficiency ratio was 61.53%. The efficiency ratio adjusted for the operational losses, executive incentive reversal, and Tri-Net losses, was 52.81% percent, an improvement from 56.32 percent in the second quarter of 2022. Annualized noninterest expense, adjusted for the operational losses and executive incentive reversal, as a percentage of average assets decreased 13 basis points to 2.06 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to 2.19 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Assets per employee improved to $8.2 million as of September 30, 2022 compared to $7.9 million in the previous quarter. The continued discipline in productivity metrics demonstrates the Company's commitment to outstanding performance.

Asset Quality

Strong asset quality is a core tenant of the Company’s culture. Sound risk management led to continued low net charge-offs and strong credit metrics. Annualized net charge-offs to average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were 0.02 percent. Criticized and classified loans continued to improve to $41.1 million or 1.79 percent of total loans at September 30, 2022, a $6.3 million or 33 basis point improvement from June 30, 2022, and included an upgrade of the Company's largest substandard shared national credit of $11.5 million. Past due loans increased to $14.4 million or 0.63 percent of total loans held for investment at September 30, 2022 compared to a record $2.6 million or 0.12 percent of total loans held for investment at June 30, 2022. The increase in past dues is principally related to two relationships totaling $8.3 million, of which the Company feels the risk of loss is nominal, $1.6 million of matured loans, which were not renewed by quarter end, and $0.4 million for three PPP loans, which are fully guaranteed. Non-performing assets to total loans and OREO increased to 0.30 percent at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.11 percent at June 30, 2022. The increase in non-performing assets is solely related to one of the two previously cited relationships.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.9 million during the quarter as a result of continued strong loan growth and other qualitative factors. The allowance for loan losses plus the fair value mark on acquired loans to total loans, less PPP loans, was flat at 1.09 percent as of September 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022.

Capital

The Company continues to be well capitalized with tangible equity of $302.1 million at September 30, 2022. Tangible book value per share of common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $13.73 compared to $14.17 and $14.53 for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, with the changes being attributable to a decline in the value of the investment portfolio related to an increase in market interest rates, partially offset by ongoing earnings. Excluding the impact of after-tax gain or loss within the available for sale investment portfolio, tangible book value per share of common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $16.22 compared to $15.86 and $14.59 for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
