NBT Bancorp Inc. Announces First Quarter Net Income of $33.7 Million ($0.78 Per Diluted Common Share)

NORWICH, N.Y., April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NBT Bancorp Inc. (�NBT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $33.7 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, compared to $39.1 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $36.1 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

  • Excluding the impact of securities losses and acquisition expenses, the Company generated $0.88 per diluted share of earnings in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $0.86 per share in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.91 per share in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Net interest income in the first quarter of 2023 increased 18% in comparison to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher yields on earning assets due to increases in the Federal Reserve’s targeted Federal Funds rate as well as the new loan volume pricing, which was partially offset by the higher cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The first quarter of 2022 also included $2.0 million ($0.04 per diluted share) of income from the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).
  • The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.9 million ($0.07 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2022.
  • First quarter card services income was approximately $4.0 million ($0.07 per diluted share) lower than last year’s first quarter driven by the impact of the statutory price cap provisions of the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act (“Durbin Amendment”) beginning in the third quarter of 2022.
  • In the first quarter of 2023, the Company incurred a $5.0 million ($0.09 per diluted share) securities loss on the write-off of a subordinated debt security of a failed bank.
  • The Company incurred acquisition expenses of $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) and $1.0 million ($0.02 per diluted share) related to the pending merger with Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. (“Salisbury”) in the first quarter of 2023 and the fourth quarter of 2022, respectively.

CEO Comments

“NBT’s first quarter results reflect the strength of our balance sheet and our consistent and traditional banking franchise,” said NBT President and CEO John H. Watt, Jr. “During a quarter characterized by heightened market volatility, we grew loans and deposits, maintained strong asset quality, increased our capital position and continued to deliver high-quality and timely customer service,” added Watt. “We were also pleased to announce that the shareholders of Salisbury voted overwhelmingly to approve our proposed merger. The merger is expected to close late in the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals,” said Watt.

  • Net charge-offs to total average loans was 19 bps compared to 18 bps in the prior quarter and 14 bps in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net charge-offs from the first quarter of 2022 was from higher charge-offs in the Company’s other consumer portfolio, which is in a run-off status.

Provision expense was $3.8 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2022 and $3.3 million higher than the first quarter of 2022.

The reserve for unfunded loan commitments decreased to $4.5 million at March 31, 2023 compared to the prior quarter-end at $5.1 million and to $4.8 million at March 31, 2022.

  • Card services income was comparable to the prior quarter and approximately $4 million lower than the first quarter of 2022 driven by the impact on debit interchange revenues from the statutory price cap provisions of the Durbin Amendment.
  • Retirement plan administration fees were seasonally higher than the fourth quarter of 2022 and were lower than the first quarter of 2022 driven by market performance and a decrease in activity-based fees which were primarily statutory plan document restatement requirements.
  • Wealth management fees were comparable to the prior quarter, but lower than the first quarter of 2022 driven primarily by a decline in market performance.
  • In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a $5.0 million ($0.09 per diluted share) securities loss related to the write-off of a subordinated debt security of a failed bank.

Noninterest Expense

  • Total noninterest expense, excluding $0.6 million of acquisition expenses in the first quarter of 2023 and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, was comparable to the previous quarter and up 9.1% from the first quarter of 2022.
  • Salaries and benefits increased 1.9% from the prior quarter driven by seasonally higher payroll taxes, seasonally higher stock-based compensation expenses and merit pay increases. The increase from the first quarter of 2022 was driven by increased salaries and wages, including merit pay increases and higher benefit plan expenses and staff additions.
  • Technology and data services expenses were comparable with the prior quarter and increased from the first quarter of 2022 due to continued investment in digital platform solutions.
  • Occupancy costs increased from the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2022 driven by seasonal costs including utility expenses.
  • Professional fees and outside services expenses were lower than the prior quarter due to seasonal expenses and timing of external services for several tactical and strategic initiatives incurred in the prior quarter and were comparable to the first quarter of 2022.
  • FDIC assessment expense increased $0.6 million ($0.01 per diluted share) from the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2022 driven by the statutory increase in the FDIC assessment rate.
  • Loan collection and other real estate owned were comparable to the prior quarter and higher than the first quarter of 2022 due to an offsetting gain on the sale of a property in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Other expenses declined from the seasonally higher linked fourth quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 was $2.0 million higher than the prior year first quarter due to the increase in actuarially determined amortization expense related to the Company’s retirement plans and higher travel and training expenses due to increased activity compared to the pandemic-impacted first quarter of 2022.

Income Taxes

  • The effective tax rate was 22.2% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 22.6% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 22.2% for the first quarter of 2022.

Capital

  • Capital ratios remain strong with tangible common equity to tangible assets1 at 7.99%. Tangible book value per share2 was $21.52 at March 31, 2023, $20.65 at December 30, 2022 and $21.25 at March 31, 2022.
  • Stockholders’ equity increased $38.1 million from December 31, 2022 driven by net income generation of $33.7 million and a $16.1 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income due primarily to the change in the market value of securities available for sale, partly offset by dividends declared of $12.9 million.
  • March 31, 2023, CET1 capital ratio of 12.28%, leverage ratio of 10.43% and total risk-based capital ratio of 15.53%.
