WTBA West Bancorporation

West Bancorporation, Inc. (Nasdaq: WTBA; the “Company”), parent company of West Bank, today reported second quarter 2024 net income of $5.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted common share, compared to first quarter 2024 net income of $5.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, and second quarter 2023 net income of $5.9 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share. On July 24, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share. The dividend is payable on August 21, 2024, to stockholders of record on August 7, 2024.

David Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “Our credit quality remains pristine as a result of our disciplined loan growth and credit risk management practices. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets remains negligible at 0.01%. In the first half of 2024, we have seen deposits grow, net interest income improve and net interest margin stabilize.”

David Nelson added, “Our efficiency ratio has increased as expected with the costs associated with our new buildings. Our buildings are designed as tools for building strong relationships and facilitating business development. We believe these strategic investments will continue to drive profitable growth similar to the successes we have had in our newer Minnesota offices.”

Second Quarter 2024 Compared to First Quarter 2024 Overview

• Loans increased $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, or 2.5 percent annualized. The increase is primarily due to the funding of previously committed construction loans.
• No credit loss expense was recorded in either the first or second quarter of 2024.
• The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 0.95 percent at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2024 consisted of three loans with a total balance of $521 thousand, compared to one loan with a balance of $289 thousand at March 31, 2024.
• Deposits increased $115.9 million, or 3.8 percent, in the second quarter of 2024. Brokered deposits totaled $370.3 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $396.4 million at March 31, 2024, a decrease of $26.1 million. Excluding brokered deposits, deposits increased $142.0 million during the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, a local municipal customer deposited approximately $120.0 million of bond proceeds that are expected to be withdrawn over the next 12-18 months. As of June 30, 2024, estimated uninsured deposits, which exclude deposits in the IntraFi® reciprocal network, brokered deposits and public funds protected by state programs, accounted for approximately 26.3 percent of total deposits.
• Borrowed funds decreased to $525.5 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $639.7 million at March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $113.0 million in federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings as a result of the increase in deposits.
• The efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 67.14 percent for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 62.04 percent for the first quarter of 2024. The increase in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to the increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by the increase in net interest income. Salaries and benefits increased primarily due to annual officer compensation increases and compensation related accrual adjustments. Occupancy and equipment increased primarily due to the occupancy costs associated with the Company’s newly constructed headquarters.
• Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure), was 1.86 percent for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 1.88 percent for the first quarter of 2024. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $17.2 million, compared to $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2024.
• The tangible common equity ratio was 5.65 percent as of both June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Second Quarter 2024 Compared to Second Quarter 2023 Overview

• Loans increased $191.7 million at June 30, 2024, or 6.8 percent, compared to June 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to the funding of previously committed construction loans.
• Deposits increased $344.6 million at June 30, 2024, compared to June 30, 2023. Included in deposits were brokered deposits totaling $370.3 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $230.7 million at June 30, 2023. Brokered deposits were used to reduce short-term borrowed funds and to fund loan growth. Excluding brokered deposits, deposits increased $205.0 million, or 7.9 percent, as of June 30, 2024, compared to June 30, 2023. In the second quarter of 2024, a local municipal customer deposited approximately $120.0 million of bond proceeds that are expected to be withdrawn over the next 12-18 months.
• Borrowed funds decreased to $525.5 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $593.9 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $98.7 million in federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings, partially offset by an increase of $35.0 million in FHLB one-month rolling advances hedged with long-term interest rate swaps.
• The efficiency ratio (a non-GAAP measure) was 67.14 percent for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 62.83 percent for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in the efficiency ratio in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the decrease in net interest income and increase in noninterest expense. Occupancy and equipment increased primarily due to the occupancy costs associated with the Company’s newly constructed headquarters.
• Net interest margin, on a fully tax-equivalent basis (a non-GAAP measure), was 1.86 percent for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 2.02 percent for the second quarter of 2023.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report contains references to financial measures that are not defined in GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the Company’s presentation of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis and the presentation of the efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis, excluding certain income and expenses. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors to analyze and evaluate the Company’s financial performance. These measures are considered standard measures of comparison within the banking industry. Additionally, management believes providing measures on a FTE basis enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources. Limitations associated with non-GAAP financial measures include the risks that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items included in these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be considered an alternative to the Company’s GAAP results. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis and efficiency ratio on an adjusted and FTE basis.

(1) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 21 percent, adjusted to reflect the effect of the nondeductible interest expense associated with owning tax-exempt securities and loans. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results, as it enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources. (2) The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percent of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, excluding specific noninterest income and expenses. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the Company's financial performance. It is a standard measure of comparison within the banking industry. A lower ratio is more desirable.
