Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter 2021 of $122.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, as compared to the third quarter 2020 earnings of $102.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, and net income of $120.5 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2021. Excluding non-core charges, our adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure) was $124.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for the third quarter 2021, $104.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, for third quarter 2020, and $126.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2021. See further details below, including a reconciliation of our adjusted net income in the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.

Key financial highlights for the third quarter:

  • Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $301.7 million for the third quarter 2021 decreased $43 thousand as compared to the second quarter 2021 and increased $17.6 million from the third quarter 2020. Net interest income remained relatively unchanged as compared to the second quarter 2021, despite a $9.4 million decrease in interest and fee income from our SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan portfolio during the third quarter 2021. Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis decreased by 3 basis points to 3.15 percent in the third quarter 2021 as compared to 3.18 percent for the second quarter 2021. The decrease in the margin as compared to the second quarter 2021 was due to a 9 basis point decline in the yield of average earning assets caused by the lower interest rates on new and renewed loans, partially offset by the continued run-off of maturing higher cost time deposits, repayments of borrowings, and the overall lower cost of deposits driven by growth in non-maturity deposits. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for more details.
  • Loan Portfolio: Total loans increased $149.4 million to $32.6 billion at September 30, 2021 from June 30, 2021, in spite of a $476.7 million decrease in PPP loans within the commercial and industrial loan category. Our non-PPP loan portfolio increased $626.0 million, or 8.0 percent on an annualized basis. The increase was largely driven by growth in the total commercial real estate and residential mortgage loan categories. Additionally, our third quarter 2021 new and refinanced loan originations included approximately $233 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale. Net gains on sales of residential loans were $6.4 million and $10.1 million in the third quarter 2021 and second quarter 2021, respectively. See the "Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings" section below for more details.
  • Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $356.9 million and $353.7 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. During the third quarter 2021, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $3.5 million as compared to $8.8 million and $31.0 million for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively.
  • Credit Quality: Total accruing past due loans decreased $25.0 million to $55.2 million, or 0.17 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2021 as compared to $80.2 million, or 0.25 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2021. Non-accrual loans represented 0.77 percent and 0.68 percent of total loans at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Net loan charge-offs totaled $293 thousand for the third quarter 2021 as compared to $9.4 million for the second quarter 2021. See the "Credit Quality" section below for more details.
  • Non-interest Income: Non-interest income decreased $695 thousand to $42.4 million for the third quarter 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2021. The moderate overall decline was largely due to decreases of $3.6 million and $1.0 million in net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans and insurance commissions, respectively, partially offset by a $3.8 million increase in other non-interest income. The increase in other income was partly driven by a $1.2 million increase in swap fee income related to certain new commercial loan transactions and other moderate increases during third quarter 2021.
  • Non-interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased $3.0 million to $174.9 million for the third quarter 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2021 mainly due to higher professional and legal fees and salaries and employee benefits expense, partially offset by a decrease of $8.4 million in the loss on extinguishment of debt due to the prepayment of $248 million of FHLB borrowings in the second quarter 2021. During the third quarter 2021, professional and legal fees included a $2.1 million accrual for general litigation reserves, $1.3 million of merger expenses related to our previously announced pending bank acquisitions, as well as increased consulting expenses related to our technology transformation efforts.
  • Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 50.93 percent for the third quarter 2021 as compared to 49.96 percent and 48.20 percent for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively. Our adjusted efficiency ratio was 49.16 percent for the third quarter 2021 as compared to 46.64 percent and 46.62 percent for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.
  • Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 1.18 percent, 10.23 percent, and 14.64 percent for the third quarter 2021, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE and tangible ROE, adjusted for non-core charges, were 1.20 percent, 10.41 percent and 14.90 percent for the third quarter 2021, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding our non-GAAP measures.

On September 23, 2021, Valley announced that it will acquire Bank Leumi Le-Israel Corporation (Leumi), the U.S. subsidiary of Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M., and parent company of Bank Leumi USA (Bank Leumi). The merger will enable Valley to greatly expand its commercial banking and venture capital banking businesses, as well as help Valley increase its revenue diversity and expand into new geographies. Bank Leumi maintains its headquarters in New York City and also operates commercial banking offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, Palo Alto, and Aventura, Florida. As of June 30, 2021, Leumi had total assets of $8.4 billion, total deposits of $7.1 billion, and gross loans of $5.4 billion. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2022, subject to standard regulatory approvals, approval of Valley shareholders, as well as other customary conditions.

On October 13, 2021, Valley also announced its acquisition of Arizona-based Dudley Ventures, an advisory firm specializing in the investment and management of tax credits. Over its plus 20-year history, Dudley Ventures and its affiliates have invested over $2.0 billion in tax credit transactions, leading to deep community impact.

Ira Robbins, CEO and President commented, "Our third quarter 2021 earnings continue to reflect the strength and quality of our balance sheet, disciplined loan pricing and the ability to manage our net interest margin in a very challenging market rate environment. Linked quarter non-PPP loan growth was 8 percent, and remained well-diversified in the third quarter." Mr. Robbins continued, “Additionally, we are very excited about our pending acquisitions of Bank Leumi and The Westchester Bank Holding Corporation, and our recent acquisition of Dudley Ventures. Integration of these businesses will offer unparalleled opportunities for us to expand our capabilities, cross sell services, broaden our reach into new markets and further our ability to positively impact our clients and communities."

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaling $301.7 million for the third quarter 2021 decreased $43 thousand as compared to the second quarter 2021 and increased $17.6 million from the third quarter 2020. Interest expense of $27.8 million for the third quarter 2021 decreased $5.0 million as compared to the second quarter 2021 as we continue to reduce our cost of funding from both deposits and the repayment of other borrowings, primarily FHLB advances. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis in the third quarter 2021 decreased by $5.0 million to $329.5 million as compared to the second quarter 2021 largely due to a $9.4 million decline in PPP loan related interest and fees caused by lower levels of loan forgiveness (prepayments) in the third quarter 2021 and lower yields on non-PPP new and renewed loans. See the "Loan, Deposit and Other Borrowings" section for more information on PPP loans.

Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.15 percent for the third quarter 2021 decreased by 3 basis points and increased by 14 basis points from 3.18 percent and 3.01 percent for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively. The yield on average interest earning assets decreased by 9 basis points on a linked quarter basis mostly due to the lower yield on new and renewed loans, partially offset by one additional day in the third quarter 2021 as compared to second quarter 2021. The yield on average loans decreased by 8 basis points to 3.79 percent for the third quarter 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2021. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 7 basis points to 0.44 percent for the third quarter 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2021. The decrease was mainly due to (i) the continued run-off of maturing higher cost time deposits, (ii) repayment of maturing FHLB advances and other borrowings during the third quarter 2021, (iii) the prepayment of $248 million of long-term FHLB advances in June 2021 and (iv) the overall lower cost of deposits. Our cost of total average deposits was 0.18 percent for the third quarter 2021 as compared to 0.21 percent for the second quarter 2021.

Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings

Loans. Loans increased $149.4 million to approximately $32.6 billion at September 30, 2021 from June 30, 2021 primarily due to growth in the commercial real estate, construction and residential mortgage loan categories, largely offset by a $476.7 million decrease in PPP loans within the commercial and industrial loan category. Commercial real estate loans increased $399.9 million, or 9.1 percent on an annualized basis, to $17.9 billion at September 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2021 reflecting continued strong organic loan growth across our geographic footprints. Construction loans increased $51.7 million, or 11.8 percent on an annualized basis, during the third quarter 2021 largely due to a higher volume of advances on pre-existing loan projects. Residential mortgage loans increased $105.4 million, or 10.0 percent on an annualized basis, during the third quarter 2021 mainly due to new loan activity in the purchased home market, and, to a lesser extent, refinance loan volumes. During the third quarter 2021, we originated approximately $233 million of residential mortgage loans for sale. Residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value totaled $157.1 million and $159.3 million at September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $437.8 million to approximately $33.6 billion at September 30, 2021 from June 30, 2021 due to increases of $524.8 million and $260.3 million in non-maturity interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposit categories, respectively, partially offset by a $347.3 million decrease in time deposits. The decrease in time deposits was driven by normal run-off of maturing retail CDs with some continued migration to the more liquid deposit product categories. Total brokered deposits (consisting of both time and money market deposit accounts) decreased approximately $315 million to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2021 as compared to $2.0 billion at June 30, 2021 as our funding mix continues to shift to our commercial and retail deposit customers. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW and money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 32 percent, 56 percent and 12 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2021, respectively.

Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings decreased $71.0 million to $783.3 million at September 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2021 largely due to repayments of FHLB advances. Long-term borrowings decreased $458.2 million to $1.4 billion at September 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2021 also due to normal repayments of maturities, including FHLB advances, and $300 million of long-term repurchase agreements with a weighted average cost of approximately 3.4 percent.

Credit Quality

Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Total NPAs, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets increased $31.1 million to $257.7 million at September 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2021 mainly due to a $37.0 million increase in non-accrual commercial real estate loans. This increase was caused by two loans totaling $22.2 million and one loan totaling $10.9 million that migrated to non-accrual status from the 30-59 days and 60 to 89 days past due categories reported at June 30, 2021, respectively. These non-accrual loans totaling $33.1 million have allocated reserves of $3.7 million within our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2021. Non-accrual loans represented 0.77 percent of total loans at September 30, 2021 compared to 0.68 percent at June 30, 2021.

Non-performing Taxi Medallion Loan Portfolio. We continue to closely monitor our non-performing New York City and Chicago taxi medallion loans totaling $86.3 million and $577 thousand, respectively, within the commercial and industrial loan category at September 30, 2021. At September 30, 2021, all taxi medallion loans were on non-accrual status and had related reserves of $58.6 million, or 67.4 percent of such loans, within the allowance for loan losses.

Accruing Past Due Loans. Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) decreased $25.0 million to $55.2 million, or 0.17 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2021 as compared to $80.2 million, or 0.25 percent of total loans at June 30, 2021. Commercial real estate loans past due 30 to 59 days and 60 to 89 days decreased $17.6 million and $5.6 million, respectively, to $23.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively at September 30, 2021 as compared to June 30, 2021 mainly due to the aforementioned loans migrating to non-accrual loan status at September 30, 2021.

Forbearance. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact on certain customers, Valley implemented short-term loan modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment, when requested by customers, all of which were insignificant. As of September 30, 2021, Valley had approximately $98.6 million of outstanding loans remaining in their payment deferral period under short-term modifications, as compared to $142.0 million of loans in deferral at June 30, 2021.

Our loan portfolio, totaling $32.6 billion at September 30, 2021, had net loan charge-offs totaling $293 thousand for the third quarter 2021 as compared to $9.4 million and $15.4 million for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively. The decrease in net loan charge-offs for the third quarter 2021 as compared to the second quarter 2021 was mainly due to lower commercial and industrial loan charge-offs. During the third quarter 2021, the partial gross charge-offs of taxi medallion loans totaled $143 thousand as compared to $1.4 million and $6.1 million for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses for loans, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and unfunded credit commitments, as a percentage of total loans was 1.09 percent at both September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and 1.03 percent at September 30, 2020. During the third quarter 2021, we recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $3.5 million as compared to a provision of $8.8 million and $31.0 million for the second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively. There was no provision for unfunded credit commitments for the third quarter 2021.

At September 30, 2021, the allowance allocations for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increased in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loan categories as compared to June 30, 2021. The allocated reserves as a percentage of commercial and industrial loans increased by 4 basis points mainly due to the third quarter 2021 repayments (loan forgiveness) of PPP loans guaranteed by the SBA with no related allowance at September 30, 2021. The allocated reserves as a percentage of commercial real estate loans increased 3 basis points mainly due to higher quantitative reserves for non-owner occupied loans during the third quarter 2021. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total non-PPP loans was 1.12 percent, 1.14 percent and 1.11 percent for the third quarter 2021, second quarter 2021 and third quarter 2020, respectively.

Capital Adequacy

Valley's regulatory capital ratios continue to reflect its well capitalized position. Valley's total risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios were 13.24 percent, 10.06 percent, 10.73 percent and 8.63 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2021.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

(1)   Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules.
(2)   This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Valley's financial results. Specifically, Valley provides measures based on what it believes are its core operating earnings on a consistent basis and excludes material non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management believes that Valley's presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Valley's business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results and Valley strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
