Carter Bankshares, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results

MARTINSVILLE, VA / ACCESSWIRE / July 29, 2021 / Carter Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") (NASDAQ:CARE) today announced net income of $5.4 million, or $0.21 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to net income of $9.4 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2021 and net income of $4.5 million, or $0.17 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2020. Core pre-tax pre-provision earnings 1 were $7.9 million, $8.5 million and $7.0 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2021, March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net income was $14.8 million, or $0.56 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.34 diluted earnings per share in the six months of 2020. Core pre-tax pre-provision earnings 1 were $16.3 million and $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

  • Nonperforming loans declined $22.4 million, or 70.1% to $9.6 million at June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 and decreased $31.0 million, or 76.4%, from June 30, 2020. The decline is due to the resolution of our two largest nonperforming credits during the second quarter of 2021. The resolution included charge-offs of $6.3 million and $1.9 million. These loans had $13.1 million specifically reserved at the time of the charge-off. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total portfolio loans were 0.33%, 1.09% and 1.37% as of June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively;
  • The provision for credit losses totaled $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021;
  • Net interest income increased $0.7 million, or 2.5%, to $27.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to a seven basis point decrease in funding costs;
  • Net interest margin, on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE"), increased one basis point to 2.79% compared to the first quarter of 2021 and decreased four basis points compared to the second quarter of 2020;
  • Total deposits decreased $32.2 million to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to March 31, 2021 and increased $52.6 million, or 1.5%, compared to June 30, 2020. The decline from March 31, 2021 was impacted by $81.6 million of deposits held-for-assumption in connection with the sale of four bank branches which were completed during the second quarter of 2021;
  • Excluding deposits held-for-assumption, core deposits, including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, money market accounts and savings, increased by $114.7 million, or 5.5%, as compared to March 31, 2021;
  • During the second quarter of 2021, 20 branch closures were completed. These branches were moved to other real estate owned ("OREO") and marketed for sale resulting in a one-time $3.0 million write-down;
  • On April 23, 2021, one branch was closed and sold to F & M Bank, and on May 21, 2021 three branches were closed and sold to Pendleton Community Bank. These transactions were part of our branch network optimization project and are aligned with our strategic goals to enhance franchise value and improve operating efficiency. These transactions resulted in a 25% reduction in our branch network;
  • On June 4, 2021, the Company opened the new Westridge branch office in Greensboro, NC.

"We are pleased with the direction of the Company and our second quarter results. The decline in nonperforming assets is a positive reflection of our continued efforts to improve the asset quality of the Company. Further reduction of troubled assets remains one of our primary objectives," stated Litz H. Van Dyke, Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to make progress in improving the fundamentals of the Company. Our deposit mix continues to improve along with our cost of funds. These elements are driving our net interest margin higher. We also completed our branch optimization initiative during the second quarter of 2021. This leaves us with a much more efficient core retail branch footprint that better aligns with the strategic vision and direction of our Company. We can now focus on growth in select and emerging markets that we have targeted. Lastly, we continue to build out our commercial, retail and mortgage lending platforms, which are the main drivers of revenue growth."

Operating Highlights

Net interest income increased $0.7 million, or 2.5%, to $27.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and $0.9 million, or 3.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2020. The net interest margin, on an FTE basis, increased one basis point to 2.79% and as compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2021 and decreased four basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2020. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased six basis points and 43 basis points as compared to the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Funding costs declined seven basis points as compared to the previous quarter and 47 basis points as compared to the same quarter of 2020.

The Company previously elected to defer its adoption of Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") in accordance with relief provided under the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. As such, the Company did adopt the CECL accounting standard on March 31, 2021, effective January 1, 2021. Management believes the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") is adequate to absorb expected losses.

The provision for credit losses decreased to $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2021. Provision for credit losses was primarily driven by an increase of $5.7 million to the CECL model to account for increased uncertainty in credit quality with respect to loans in the "Other" loan segment. This increase was offset by the release of $4.8 million of specific reserves in connection with the resolution of our two largest nonperforming relationships. As previously noted, these resolutions totaled $8.2 million of the $8.5 million in net charge-offs for the quarter.

The provision for unfunded commitments in the second quarter of 2021 was a release of $0.6 million compared to a release of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 and a $0.5 million release in the fourth quarter of 2020.

At June 30, 2021 nonperforming loans declined $22.4 million, or 70.1%, to $9.6 million since December 31, 2020. The decline is due to the resolution of our two largest nonperforming credits during the second quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs were $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, of which $8.2 million was previously reserved, compared to $1.0 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2021 was due to the aforementioned resolution of our two largest nonperforming credits. As a percentage of average portfolio loans, on an annualized basis, net charge-offs were 1.15% and 0.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total portfolio loans were 0.33%, 1.09% and 1.37% as of June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

Total noninterest income was $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.7 million, or 19.1%, from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of $1.0 million, or 16.7%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease of $1.7 million from the first quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by the reduction of $2.1 million in net securities gains offset by an increase of $0.5 million in commercial loan swap fee income.

The increase of $1.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by a $1.3 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts, a $0.5 million premium on the sale of four bank branches included in other income, and $0.4 million higher debit card interchange fees. These increases were offset by declines of $0.8 million in net security gains and lower commercial loan swap fee income of $0.4 million. The fluctuations of commercial loan swap fee income were due to the timing and demand for this product in the current low interest rate environment. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was due to reinstating fees post COVID-19 on fee waivers in 2020 and the increase in debit card interchange fees was a result of an increase in usage.

Total noninterest expense was $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $4.2 million, or 17.6%, from the first quarter of 2021 and an increase of $4.7 million, or 20.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increases were primarily driven by a one-time charge for bank branches of $3.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and the three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. These branches were closed in the second quarter of 2021, transferred to OREO and marketed for sale resulting in the $3.0 million one-time write-down which was offset by $0.4 million of gains for the sale of four OREO properties.

The increase also included higher salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million and $1.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2021 and the second quarter of 2020, respectively. This was due to $0.5 million and $1.2 million of increased medical expenses in the second quarter of 2021 due to several large critical illness claims and $0.4 million of one-time severance and stay bonuses for impacted branch employees from the branch closures and sales in the second quarter of 2021.

Other items impacting the change between the second quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2021 include a $0.3 million increase in other noninterest expense and $0.2 million increase in professional and legal expenses. Other key factors impacting noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the second quarter of 2020 were increases of $0.4 million reduction in unfunded loan commitment expense, $0.4 million increase in data processing expenses due to new products and $0.2 million increase in tax credit amortization. The $0.4 million release in unfunded loan commitment expense is a result of the adoption of CECL as unfunded loan commitment expense is now recorded as part of provision for credit losses instead of noninterest expense, where it was previously recorded.

Financial Condition

Total assets were $4.1 billion at June 30, 2021 and $4.2 billion at December 31, 2020. Total portfolio loans decreased $30.5 million, or 2.1% on an annualized basis, to $2.9 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 primarily due to several large commercial loan payoffs. Other real estate owned increased $5.5 million at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 due to 20 branches that were closed and moved to OREO and marketed for sale resulting in a $3.0 million one-time write-down.

Closed retail bank offices increased $8.2 million with a remaining book value of $10.7 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, 20 branch closures were completed as part of our branch network optimization project that aligns with our strategic goals to enhance franchise value and improve operating efficiency.

Federal Reserve Bank excess reserves decreased $61.2 million at June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020 due to active balance sheet management.

The securities portfolio increased $64.9 million and is currently 20.5% of total assets at June 30, 2021 compared to 18.6% of total assets at December 31, 2020. The increase is a result of active balance sheet management. We have further diversified the securities portfolio as to bond types, maturities and interest rate structures.

Total deposits decreased $25.3 million to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020. The decline from December 31, 2020 was due to $84.7 million of deposits held-for-assumption in connection with the sale of four bank branches which were completed during the second quarter of 2021. Core deposits, including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits, money market accounts and savings, increased by $217.0 million, or 10.9%, at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020, excluding the deposits held-for-assumption. Offsetting these increases was the intentional runoff of $157.6 million of higher cost certificates of deposit ("CDs"). Noninterest-bearing deposits comprised 19.7%, 19.0% and 18.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. Certificates of deposit comprised 39.8%, 43.8% and 50.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

The Company provided deferrals to customers under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and regulatory interagency statements on loan modifications. The Company launched successive deferral programs with short-term expirations. The Part I program was launched in March 2020 and expired at the end of August 2020. The deferrals in Part I typically provided deferral of both principal and interest through the expiry. The Part II program was launched in July 2020 and expired at the end of December 2020. The deferrals in this program were needs based and required the collection of updated financial information and in certain situations, the validation of liquidity to support the business. Prior to the extension of the CARES Act, the Company launched the Part III program that offered borrowers in the Part II program an extension of deferrals through June 2021. Borrowers who opted into the Part III program were required to provide monthly financial statements and remit payments on a quarterly basis based on excess cash flows ("recapture payment"), if any, up to their otherwise contractual payment. In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, recapture payments due from deferral clients totaled $2.2 million and the Company has collected $1.8 million to date. The second quarter 2021 recapture payments are in the process of being determined. At the end of these deferral periods, for term loans, payments will be applied to accrued interest first and will resume principal payments once accrued interest is current. Deferred principal will be due at maturity. For interest only loans, such as lines of credit, deferred interest will be due at maturity. As of June 30, 2021, Part III of the program expired and we expect the majority of our clients to resume regularly scheduled payments.

We have participated in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") established by the CARES Act. Through the first two rounds of PPP, we had approved 515 loan applications totaling $39.9 million through our internal lending program, of which 361 loans totaling $29.6 million have been fully forgiven by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") as of June 30, 2021. The $39.9 million in PPP loans originated during the first two rounds of PPP generated $1.5 million in fees, which will be recognized in income as loans are forgiven, or over the remaining life of the loan for any portion that is not forgiven. We had an additional 451 loans approved that were referred to an online small business lender, totaling $17.9 million during the first two rounds of PPP. On December 22, 2020 Congress passed legislation that was signed into law on December 27, 2020, making available a third round of PPP funding. We provided access to the program through our internal lending program for our current business customers. As of June 30, 2021, we had approved 136 loan applications totaling $11.1 million.

The Company remains well capitalized. The Company's Tier 1 Capital ratio was 13.40% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 13.08% at December 31, 2020. The Company's leverage ratio was 10.23% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 10.26% at December 31, 2020. The Company's Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 14.66% at June 30, 2021 as compared to 14.33% at December 31, 2020. In March 2020, the regulators issued interim final rule ("IFR") to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital stemming from the implementation of CECL. The IFR maintains the three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides banks the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL's effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). We adopted CECL effective January 1, 2021 and elected to implement the capital transition relief over the permissible three-year period.

Total capital of $399.1 million at June 30, 2021, reflects a decrease of $41.1 million as compared to December 31, 2020. The decrease in equity during 2021 is primarily due to the transitional adjustment of $50.7 million, net of tax for the adoption of CECL and a $5.6 million decrease in other comprehensive income due to changes in fair value of investment securities, offset by net income of $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The remaining difference of $0.4 million is related to restricted stock activity through June 30, 2021.

At June 30, 2021, funding sources accessible to the Company include borrowing availability at the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), equal to 25% of the Company's assets which approximate $1.0 billion, subject to the amount of eligible collateral pledged, federal funds unsecured lines with six other correspondent financial institutions in the amount of $145.0 million and access to the institutional CD market. In addition to the above resources, the Company also has $697.6 million of unpledged available-for-sale investment securities as an additional source of liquidity.

Important Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables in our definitions and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. This press release and the accompanying tables discuss financial measures, such as adjusted core net income, pre-tax pre-provision income, noninterest income, noninterest expense, adjusted efficiency ratio, and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and tangible equity which are all non-GAAP measures. We believe that such non-GAAP measures are useful because they enhance the ability of investors and management to evaluate and compare the Company's operating results from period to period in a meaningful manner. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance as promulgated under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Investors should consider the Company's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.

Many of these factors, as well as other factors, are described in our filings with the SEC.
