Analysis of 2019 Earnings
Net income for 2019 was $41.6 million, remaining
relatively unchanged from 2018. Earnings for 2019 include
decreases in net interest income and noninterest income, before
securities losses in 2018, of $2.3 million and $2.1 million,
respectively, and increases in the provision for loan losses of
$1.8 million, noninterest expense of $1.1 million and income tax
expense of $3.2 million.
The decline in net interest income occurred as
yield curve flattening and inversion led management to slow loan
and overall balance sheet growth. Three 25 basis point
decreases in the federal funds target rate during 2019 to a current
level of 1.50% to 1.75% started to provide some relief on the cost
of total interest-bearing liabilities. However, the increase
in the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities in 2019 far
outpaced the increase in the yield on total interest-earning
assets. When comparing 2019 to the prior year, the cost of
total interest-bearing liabilities increased by 28 basis points
while the yield on total interest-earning assets only increased by
12 basis points. Overall, net interest margin declined 7
basis points to 2.57% for 2019 from 2.64% for 2018.
Since mid-2018 management has been proactive in
addressing net interest margin stabilization. Actions taken
thus far include, among others:
- Downward repricing of certain interest-bearing deposits
- Hiring additional lenders to grow commercial and industrial
loans
- Reducing overall balance sheet growth by slowing loan growth
and the related need for funding
- Changing the mix of loans being originated to higher yielding
commercial mortgages from lower yielding residential mortgages
- Restructuring the securities portfolio
- Hedging a portion of short-term borrowings with interest rate
swaps
- Shifting between Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and
brokered certificates of deposit (“CDs”) to reduce funding
costs.
Management anticipates further downward deposit
rate adjustments in 2020. The current level of the federal
funds target rate and further repricing of interest-bearing
deposits are expected to drive a lower cost of funds during 2020 as
compared to 2019 and may result in a stable to modest increase in
net interest margin.
Management’s decision to slow loan growth
resulted in a small increase of $40.0 million, or 1.3%, in the
average balance of loans when comparing the current year and prior
year and a reduction of $75.2 million in loans outstanding during
2019. Growth in the average balance of loans was funded by
increases in the average balances of interest-bearing deposits of
$120.3 million, or 5.4%, and stockholders’ equity of $16.7 million,
or 4.5%, and a decrease in securities of $36.2 million, or
4.5%. These sources of funds were also used to reduce the
average balance of total borrowings by $128.8 million, or
20.7%. The growth in deposits and reduction in borrowings
were mainly the result of using brokered CDs as a lower cost
alternative to FHLB advances. Substantial contributors to the
growth in the average balance of stockholders’ equity were net
income and the issuance of shares under the Corporation’s Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, particularly during the
first-half of 2018, partially offset by cash dividends declared and
common stock repurchases which began in December 2018.
Management is expecting balance sheet growth
from year-end 2019 to year-end 2020. However, a modest
mortgage loan pipeline at year end of $16 million could result in a
reduction in total loans outstanding during the first quarter of
2020 as loan runoff could exceed originations during the
quarter.
The increase in the provision for loan losses of
$1.8 million versus the prior year was primarily due to an
improvement in economic conditions in 2018 and higher net
chargeoffs in 2019, partially offset by a decrease in outstanding
loans of $75.2 million in 2019 versus an increase of $313.0 million
in 2018.
The decrease in noninterest income, before
securities losses in 2018, of $2.1 million, or 16.4%, is primarily
attributable to:
- Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) death benefit in 2018 of
$565,000
- Decline in the non-service cost components of the Bank’s
defined benefit pension plan of $823,000
- Gain on the sale of bank premises in 2018 of $1.2 million
Partially offsetting these items was an increase
in service charges on deposit accounts of $580,000 primarily
related to higher overdraft and maintenance and activity
charges. Management has implemented initiatives to increase
fee income on deposit accounts and is focused on growing
noninterest income from existing and potential new sources.
Securities losses of $10.4 million ($7.5 million
after-tax) in 2018 resulted from portfolio restructuring
transactions involving the sale of lower yielding securities and
replacing them with higher yielding securities or using the
proceeds to eliminate inefficient leverage by paying down
borrowings.
Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or
1.8%, versus 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to
increases in salaries and employee benefits of $646,000, or 1.8%,
occupancy and equipment expense of $218,000, or 1.9%, and
technology and professional services fees of $779,000, partially
offset by decreases in FDIC insurance expense of $653,000 and
marketing expense of $515,000. The increase in salaries and
employee benefits includes executive severance and retirement
charges of $2.6 million ($2.0 million after-tax) in the fourth
quarter of 2019 and the forfeiture of certain stock-based
compensation awards in 2018. These items were partially
offset by a decrease of $1.5 million due to special salary-related
items recorded in 2019 and 2018 and a decline in retirement plan
expense of $313,000. The increase in occupancy and equipment
expense is mainly due to higher rent and other operating costs on
the Bank’s facilities and equipment and the cost of an
environmental remediation. The increase in technology and
professional services fees includes an increase in consulting fees
of $454,000 mainly related to a revenue enhancement project.
The decrease in FDIC insurance expense is due to FDIC
assessment credits received by the Bank during the third and fourth
quarters of 2019. The decrease in marketing expense is due to
fewer branch openings.
Income tax expense increased $3.2 million and
the effective tax rate increased to 16.5% from 10.9% when comparing
2019 and 2018. These increases are primarily attributable to
a decline in the current year in tax-exempt income from municipal
securities and BOLI and the recognition in 2018 of state and local
net operating loss carryforwards, higher excess tax benefits from
stock-based compensation and tax savings resulting from a cost
segregation study. The increase in income tax expense also
reflects higher pretax earnings in 2019 as compared to 2018.
Management expects the Corporation’s effective tax rate for 2020 to
be approximately 18.0% to 18.5%.
Analysis of Earnings – Fourth Quarter
2019 Versus Fourth Quarter 2018
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was
$9.2 million as compared to $10.1 million for the same quarter of
2018. The decline is primarily attributable to decreases in
net interest income and noninterest income, before securities
losses in the 2018 quarter, of $1.6 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, and a decrease in the credit provision for loan
losses of $2.1 million. Also contributing to the decline are
increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.5 million and
occupancy and equipment expense of $248,000. Partially
offsetting these items is a decrease in FDIC insurance expense of
$285,000 from the aforementioned assessment credit and a decrease
in income tax expense of $179,000 due to lower pretax earnings in
the 2019 quarter as compared to the 2018 period. The decrease
in net interest income and increase in occupancy and equipment
expense occurred for substantially the same reasons discussed with
respect to the full year periods. The decrease in noninterest
income is mainly due to the aforementioned gain on the sale of bank
premises in the 2018 quarter and a decrease in the non-service cost
components of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan of $206,000,
partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit
accounts of $204,000. The credit provision for loan losses of
$2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 was mainly due to an
improvement in economic conditions in the 2018 quarter. The
increase in salaries and employee benefits includes the
aforementioned severance and retirement charges of $2.6 million in
the 2019 quarter partially offset by declines in retirement plan
expense and incentive compensation of $497,000 and $225,000,
respectively. Securities losses of $5.4 million in the 2018
quarter resulted from the aforementioned portfolio restructuring
transactions.
Analysis of Earnings – Fourth Quarter
Versus Third Quarter 2019
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2019
declined by $1.6 million from $10.8 million for the third
quarter. The decrease is primarily driven by the
aforementioned severance and retirement charges of $2.6 million
partially offset by a health insurance premium credit of
$429,000. Also contributing to the decrease was higher
occupancy and equipment expense of $320,000 in the fourth quarter
for the same reasons discussed with respect to the full year
periods. Partially offsetting these items were decreases in
the provision for loan losses of $560,000 and income tax expense of
$535,000. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was
mainly due to improvements in historical loss rates and lower
growth rate trends in the fourth quarter. The decrease in
income tax expense was mainly due to lower pretax earnings in the
fourth quarter.
Asset Quality
The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total
loans (reserve coverage ratio) declined 2 basis points from .94% at
year-end 2018 to .92% at December 31, 2019.
The provision (credit) for loan losses was
$33,000 and ($1.8 million) in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The provision in 2019 was driven mainly by net chargeoffs of $1.6
million partially offset by declines in outstanding loans and lower
growth rate trends. The credit provision in 2018 was driven
mainly by an improvement in economic conditions and a reduction in
historical losses, partially offset by loan growth and net
chargeoffs.
The credit quality of the Bank’s loan and
securities portfolios remains strong. Nonaccrual loans,
troubled debt restructurings and loans past due 30 through 89 days
all remain at very low levels.
On January 1, 2020, the Corporation adopted ASU
2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”
(“CECL”). Implementation of this accounting standard is
expected to result in a CECL allowance for credit losses that is
less than 10% higher than the Bank’s December 31, 2019 allowance
for loan losses.
Capital
The Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage, Common Equity
Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital
ratios were approximately 9.4%, 14.9%, 14.9% and 16.1%,
respectively, at December 31, 2019. The strength of the
balance sheet positions the Corporation for growth.
The Corporation has a $50 million stock
repurchase program under which $39.7 million has been purchased to
date. Stock repurchases are currently being utilized by the
Corporation to enhance EPS and ROE.
Strategic Initiatives and
Challenges
The Bank’s strategy is focused on increasing
shareholder value through loan and deposit growth, the maintenance
of strong credit quality, a strong efficiency ratio and an optimal
amount of capital. Key initiatives in 2020 include enhancing
our brand, highlighting our digital offerings, refining our branch
strategy, building on our relationship banking business and growing
fee income.
Notwithstanding the actions taken by management
to mitigate the impact on earnings of the current interest rate
environment, net interest income, net interest margin and the
Corporation’s profitability metrics remain under pressure.
These items could be negatively impacted by yield curve inversion,
low yields available on new loans and securities and relatively
high funding costs.

This earnings release contains various
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of that term as set
forth in Rule 175 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 3b-6 of

generally contained in sentences including the words “may” or
“expect” or “could” or “should” or “would” or “believe” or
“anticipate”. The Corporation cautions that these
forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions,
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
