Financial Institutions, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

WARSAW, N.Y., Jan. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Financial Institutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISI) (the “Company,” “we” or “us”), parent company of Five Star Bank (the “Bank”), SDN Insurance Agency, LLC (“SDN”), Courier Capital, LLC (“Courier Capital”) and HNP Capital, LLC (“HNP Capital”), today reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2022  

• Net income was $12.1 million compared to $19.6 million in 2021. After preferred dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $11.7 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared to $19.2 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, in 2021.

• Net income reflects the impact of a $6.1 million provision for credit losses as compared to a benefit of $1.2 million in 2021. Loan loss provision returned to a more normalized level in 2022, and increased in the fourth quarter, as a result of a higher national unemployment forecast and qualitative factors reflecting economic uncertainty associated with higher interest rates, inflation, and global political unrest. Provision also increased due to the impact of strong loan growth and higher unfunded loan commitments.
• Net interest income of $43.1 million was $2.3 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of loan growth and net interest margin expansion, partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in interest and fee income accretion in connection with Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans (“revenue related to PPP loans”).
• Salaries and employee benefits expense included $440 thousand of non-recurring severance expense in the current quarter related to a restructuring that eliminated approximately 20 positions throughout the organization.
• Non-recurring restructuring charges of $350 thousand were recognized in the current quarter related to the 2020 closure of five locations. The charges related to the write-down of real estate assets to fair market value based upon current market conditions.
• Pre-tax pre-provision income⁽¹⁾ was $20.6 million, down $2.1 million, or 9.1%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding restructuring charges and revenue related to PPP loans from both periods of comparison, pre-PPP adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income⁽¹⁾ increased by $865 thousand, or 4.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2021. 
• Total loans were $4.05 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $183.6 million, or 4.7%, from September 30, 2022.
• The Company continues to report strong credit quality metrics, including non-performing loans to total loans of 0.25% and non-performing assets to total assets of 0.18% as of December 31, 2022.

Results for the Full Year 2022

• Net income was $56.6 million compared to $77.7 million in 2021. After preferred dividends, net income available to common shareholders was $55.1 million, or $3.56 per diluted share, compared to $76.2 million, or $4.78 per diluted share, in 2021.

• 2022 net income reflects the impact of a $13.3 million provision for credit losses as compared to a benefit of $8.3 million in 2021.
• Net interest income of $167.4 million was $12.6 million higher than 2021 as a result of loan growth and net interest margin expansion, partially offset by a $7.6 million decrease in revenue related to PPP loans.
• Non-recurring restructuring charges related to the 2020 closure of five locations totaled $1.6 million in 2022 compared to $111 thousand in 2021.
• Pre-tax pre-provision income⁽¹⁾ was $84.3 million, down $4.6 million, or 5.2%, from 2021. Excluding a third quarter 2022 non-recurring $2.0 million enhancement from the surrender and redeployment of $25.5 million in cash surrender value of company owned life insurance, as well as restructuring charges and revenue related to PPP loans from both periods of comparison, pre-PPP adjusted pre-tax pre-provision income⁽¹⁾ increased by $2.5 million, or 3.2% from 2021. 
• Total loan growth was $371.0 million, or 10.1%, from December 31, 2021.

“Our total loan portfolio grew a robust 4.7% in the fourth quarter and 10.1% year-over-year,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Martin K. Birmingham. “The early 2022 addition of our Mid-Atlantic commercial lending team significantly fueled back-end-weighted full year growth, with an increase of approximately $75 million in loans outstanding in this region during the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter also benefitted from a high level of commercial loans in the pipeline awaiting closing at September 30, 2022. Our commercial loan pipeline remains sizable, at $750 million, down slightly from the end of the third quarter. Approximately $200 million of the pipeline is attributable to the Mid-Atlantic region.  

“Our long-term track record of credit-disciplined loan growth and well-defined strategic and risk frameworks has resulted in a high-quality loan portfolio that is well-positioned for success in a challenging economy. This is exemplified by strong year-end metrics including fourth quarter net charge-offs of 34 basis points, non-performing loans to total loans of 25 basis points, and zero delinquencies in our large commercial loan portfolios.”  

Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer W. Jack Plants II added, “Net interest margin decreased by five basis points from the linked quarter, primarily as a result of repricing and seasonality within our public deposit portfolio. Managing an appropriate balance between net interest margin and net interest income remains a key consideration for the Company. We are modeling cash flow of approximately $1.0 billion from our loan and securities portfolios in 2023, which will benefit future net interest margin as this liquidity is deployed into new loan originations at market rates.”

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income was $43.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $81 thousand from the third quarter of 2022 and an increase of $2.3 million from the fourth quarter of 2021.

Average interest-earning assets for the current quarter were $5.33 billion, an increase of $99.4 million from the third quarter of 2022 due to a $128.9 million increase in average loans and a $6.9 million increase in the average balance of Federal Reserve interest-earning cash, partially offset by a $36.4 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities. Average interest-earning assets for the current quarter were $151.2 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2021 due to a $279.6 million increase in average loans, partially offset by a $29.1 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities and a $99.2 million decrease in the average balance of Federal Reserve interest-earning cash.

Net interest margin was 3.23% in the current quarter as compared to 3.28% in the third quarter of 2022 and 3.15% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans and revenue related to PPP loans, net interest margin was 3.22% in the fourth quarter of 2022, 3.26% in the third quarter of 2022 and 2.98% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Our net interest margin improved from the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to the impact of 2022 interest rate increases. Net interest margin decreased from the third quarter of 2022 as we experienced repricing in our public deposit portfolio, coupled with a shift in mix from lower cost transaction deposit accounts to higher cost time deposits.

Net interest income was $167.4 million for the full year 2022, $12.6 million higher than 2021. Net interest margin was 3.20% for the full year 2022, an increase of six basis points from 2021. Excluding the impact of PPP loans and revenue related to PPP loans, net interest margin was 3.17% for the full year 2022, up 12 basis points from 3.05% in 2021.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $10.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.7 million from the third quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $737 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2021.

• Company owned life insurance income of $875 thousand was $2.1 million lower than the third quarter of 2022 and $54 thousand higher than the fourth quarter of 2021. The decline from the linked period reflects a non-recurring $2.0 million third quarter 2022 enhancement related to the surrender and redeployment of $25.5 million in cash surrender value of company owned life insurance.
• Income from derivative instruments, net was $656 thousand in the current quarter, $557 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2022 and $379 thousand lower than the fourth quarter of 2021. Income from derivative instruments, net is based on the number and value of interest rate swap transactions executed during the quarter combined with the impact of changes in the fair market value of borrower-facing trades.
• A net loss of $111 thousand on tax credit investments was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to a $385 thousand loss in the third quarter of 2022 and a $493 thousand loss in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net loss on tax credit investments represents the amortization of tax credit investments, partially offset by New York investment tax credits that are refundable and recorded in noninterest income.

Noninterest income was $46.3 million for the full year 2022, $635 thousand lower than 2021.

• Insurance income of $6.4 million was $614 thousand higher than 2021, driven by new business growth within the Company’s markets.
• Investment advisory income was $11.5 million as compared to $11.7 million in 2021. The positive impact of new and increased client accounts was offset by the impact of the 2022 global stock market decline on the value of assets under management.
• Company owned life insurance income of $5.5 million was $2.6 million higher than 2021, primarily as a result of the third quarter 2022 transaction previously described.
• Income from investments in limited partnerships of $1.3 million was $788 thousand lower than 2021. The Company has made several investments in limited partnerships, primarily small business investment companies, and accounts for these investments under the equity method. Income from these investments fluctuates based on the maturity and performance of the underlying investments as they mature.
• Income from derivative instruments, net of $1.9 million was $776 thousand lower than 2021 as a result of the number and value of interest rate swap transactions combined with the impact of changes in the fair market value of borrower-facing trades.
• Net gain on sale of loans held for sale was $1.2 million as compared to $3.0 million in 2021. Sales volumes and margins for residential loans moderated significantly in 2022 primarily as a result of inflation, higher interest rates, and tight housing inventory.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $33.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $32.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $29.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

• Salaries and employee benefits expense of $18.1 million was $151 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2022 and $2.0 million higher than the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily the result of $440 thousand of non-recurring severance expense in the current quarter, partially offset by lower medical claim activity. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to investments in personnel and hourly wage pressures driven by the current competitive labor market.
• Computer and data processing expense of $4.7 million was $272 thousand higher than the third quarter of 2022 and $727 thousand higher than the fourth quarter of 2021 due to timing of the Company’s strategic investments in technology, including digital banking initiatives, a customer relationship management solution implemented across all lines of business, and Banking-as-a-Service, or BaaS, initiatives.
• The Company recognized restructuring charges in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaling $350 thousand in connection with five locations that were closed in the second half of 2020. The charges related to the write-down of real estate assets to fair market value based upon current market conditions.
• Other expense of $3.5 million was relatively unchanged from the third quarter of 2022 and $863 thousand higher than the fourth quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase was the result of a combination of factors including interest charges related to collateral held for derivative transactions, higher travel and entertainment expense as we exited pandemic business practices, higher insurance costs and the impact of inflationary pressures.

Noninterest expense was $129.4 million for the full year 2022, $16.6 million higher than 2021.

• Salaries and employee benefits expense of $69.6 million was $8.7 million higher than 2021. The increase is primarily the result of investments in personnel and wage pressures driven by the current competitive labor market.
• Professional services expense of $5.6 million was $943 thousand lower than 2021 primarily as a result of higher expense incurred in the prior year for enterprise standardization expense and miscellaneous consulting fees.
• Computer and data processing expense of $17.6 million was $3.5 million higher than 2021 as a result of the Company’s strategic investments in technology, primarily driven by a new customer relationship management system implemented in the latter part of 2021 and other initiatives.
• Restructuring charges related to the 2020 closing of five branches totaled $1.6 million in 2022 as compared to $111 thousand in 2021 due to the previously described write-down of real estate assets.
• Other expense of $12.4 million was $2.8 million higher than 2021, primarily due to interest charges related to collateral held for derivative transactions, higher travel and entertainment expense, higher insurance costs and the impact of inflationary pressures.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $2.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2022 income tax expense included approximately $1.5 million of incremental taxes associated with the company owned life insurance surrender and redeployment strategy, partially offset by a $2.0 million non-recurring enhancement recorded as noninterest income.

The Company recognized federal and state tax benefits related to tax credit investments placed in service and/or amortized during the fourth quarter of 2022, third quarter of 2022, and fourth quarter of 2021, resulting in income tax expense reductions of approximately $1.4 million, $511 thousand, and $1.7 million, respectively.

The effective tax rate was 16.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022, 25.4% for the third quarter of 2022 and 17.7% for the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate fluctuates on a quarterly basis primarily due to the level of pre-tax earnings and, in the third quarter of 2022, was impacted by the company owned life insurance transaction. The Company’s effective tax rates differ from statutory rates because of interest income from tax-exempt securities, earnings on company owned life insurance and the impact of tax credit investments.

Balance Sheet and Capital Management

Total assets were $5.80 billion at December 31, 2022, up $172.8 million from September 30, 2022, and up $276.5 million from December 31, 2021.

Investment securities were $1.14 billion at December 31, 2022, down $19.7 million from September 30, 2022, and down $240.8 million from December 31, 2021. The portfolio decline from September 30, 2022, was driven by the use of portfolio cash flow to fund loan originations. The decrease from December 31, 2021, was primarily the result of a decrease in the market value of the portfolio due to rising interest rates combined with the use of portfolio cash flow to fund loan originations.

Total loans were $4.05 billion at December 31, 2022, up $183.6 million, or 4.7%, from September 30, 2022, and up $371.0 million, or 10.1%, from December 31, 2021. Total loans, excluding PPP loans net of deferred fees, were $4.05 billion at December 31, 2022, up $185.2 million, or 4.8%, from September 30, 2022, and up $425.2 million, or 11.7%, from December 31, 2021.

• Commercial business loans totaled $664.2 million, up $30.4 million, or 4.8%, from September 30, 2022, and up $26.0 million, or 4.1%, from December 31, 2021. PPP loans net of deferred fees are included in commercial business loans and were $1.2 million at December 31, 2022, $2.8 million at September 30, 2022, and $55.3 million at December 31, 2021. Accordingly, commercial business loans excluding the impact of PPP loans increased 5.1% from September 30, 2022, and increased 13.7% from December 31, 2021.
• Commercial mortgage loans totaled $1.68 billion, up $115.3 million, or 7.4%, from September 30, 2022, and up $267.1 million, or 18.9%, from December 31, 2021.
• Residential real estate loans totaled $590.0 million, up $12.1 million, or 2.1%, from September 30, 2022, and up $12.7 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2021.
• Consumer indirect loans totaled $1.02 billion, up $26.2 million, or 2.6%, from September 30, 2022, and up $65.6 million, or 6.8%, from December 31, 2021.

Total deposits were $4.93 billion at December 31, 2022, $24.3 million higher than September 30, 2022, and $102.3 million higher than December 31, 2021. The increase for both periods was primarily attributable to growth in brokered deposits. Public deposit balances represented 23% of total deposits at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Short-term borrowings were $205.0 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $69.0 million at September 30, 2022, and $30.0 million at December 31, 2021. Short-term borrowings and brokered deposits have historically been utilized to manage the seasonality of public deposits.

Shareholders’ equity was $405.6 million at December 31, 2022, compared to $394.0 million at September 30, 2022, and $505.1 million at December 31, 2021. Shareholders’ equity has been negatively impacted in 2022 by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with unrealized losses in the available for sale securities portfolio. Management believes the unrealized losses are temporary in nature, as the losses are associated with the increase in interest rates. The securities portfolio continues to generate cash flow and given the high quality of our agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio, management expects the bonds to ultimately mature at a terminal value equivalent to par.

Common book value per share was $25.31 at December 31, 2022, an increase of $0.74, or 3.0%, from $24.57 at September 30, 2022, and a decrease of $5.67, or 18.3%, from $30.98 at December 31, 2021. Tangible common book value per share⁽¹⁾ was $20.53 at December 31, 2022, an increase of $0.76, or 3.9%, from $19.77 at September 30, 2022, and a decrease of $5.73, or 21.8%, from $26.26 at December 31, 2021. The common equity to assets ratio was 6.70% at December 31, 2022, unchanged from September 30, 2022, and 8.84% at December 31, 2021. Tangible common equity to tangible assets⁽¹⁾, or the TCE ratio, was 5.50%, 5.46% and 7.59% at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The primary driver of declines in all four measures was the previously described increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company declared a common stock dividend of $0.29 per common share, consistent with the linked quarter and representing an increase of 7.4% over the prior year quarter. The dividend returned 38.2% of fourth quarter net income to common shareholders.

The Company’s regulatory capital ratios at December 31, 2022, compared to September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

• Leverage Ratio was 8.33% compared to 8.35% and 8.23% at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
• Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 9.42% compared to 9.75% and 10.28% at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
• Tier 1 Capital Ratio was 9.78% compared to 10.12% and 10.68% at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.
• Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 12.13% compared to 12.53% and 13.12% at September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Credit Quality

Non-performing loans were $10.2 million, or 0.25% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, as compared to $8.5 million, or 0.22% of total loans, at September 30, 2022, and $12.2 million, or 0.33% of total loans, at December 31, 2021. Net charge-offs were $3.3 million in the current quarter as compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The ratio of annualized net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans was 0.34% in the current quarter, 0.22% in the third quarter of 2022 and 0.51% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

At December 31, 2022, the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio was 1.12%, compared to 1.14% at September 30, 2022, and 1.08% at December 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans ratio excluding PPP loans⁽¹⁾ was 1.12%, compared to 1.14% at September 30, 2022, and 1.09% at December 31, 2021.

Provision for credit losses on loans was $4.6 million in the current quarter compared to a provision of $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 and a benefit of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The allowance for unfunded commitments, also included in provision (benefit) for credit losses as required by the current expected credit loss standard (“CECL”), increased by $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $507 thousand in the third quarter of 2022, and decreased by $105 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Provision for credit losses was $13.3 million for the full year 2022 compared to a benefit of $8.3 million in 2021. The Company recorded a benefit for credit losses in each quarter of 2021 as a result of improvement in the national unemployment forecast, the designated loss driver for the Company’s current expected credit loss standard model, and positive trends in qualitative factors, resulting in the release of credit loss reserves. Loan loss provision returned to a more normalized level in 2022, excluding a $2.0 million commercial loan recovery recognized in the second quarter, due to the impact of strong loan growth and an increase in the national unemployment forecast and qualitative factors reflecting economic uncertainty associated with higher interest rates, inflation, and global political unrest, partially offset by a reduction in overall specific reserve levels.

The Company has remained strategically focused on the importance of credit discipline, allocating what it believes are the necessary resources to credit and risk management functions as the loan portfolio has grown. The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to non-performing loans was 445% at December 31, 2022, 517% at September 30, 2022, and 326% at December 31, 2021.

The Company believes that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, performance trends and financial position. Our management uses these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes and we believe that our presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, allows investors, security analysts and other interested parties to view our performance and the factors and trends affecting our business in a manner similar to management.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not uniformly applied and are not audited. 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.
