Green Bay, Wisconsin, July 21, 2020 - Nicolet Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCBS) (“Nicolet”) announced second quarter 2020 net income of $13.5 million and earnings per diluted common share of $1.28, compared to $10.6 million and $0.98 for first quarter 2020, and $18.5 million and $1.91 for second quarter 2019, respectively. Annualized quarterly return on average assets was 1.26%, 1.19% and 2.46%, for second quarter 2020, first quarter 2020 and second quarter 2019, respectively.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $24.0 million and earnings per common share was $2.25, compared to net income of $28.8 million and earnings per diluted common share of $2.97 for the first half of 2019. Annualized return on average assets was 1.23% and 1.91% for the first six months of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Net income for second quarter 2019 included $5.4 million from two nonrecurring items, a $7.4 million after-tax gain on the partial sale of its equity interest in a data processing company, and $2.75 million ($2.0 million after-tax) in personnel expense for retirement-related compensation declared. Therefore, excluding the $5.4 million from the 2019 periods, net income would be $13.1 million and $23.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, or a $0.4 million (3%) increase in net income between the second quarter periods and a $0.6 million (3%) increase between the six month periods.
“Our second quarter earnings were strong, led by record secondary mortgage revenues, and our balance sheet has ballooned to over $4.5 billion in assets, largely from the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and high cash levels,” said Bob Atwell, Chairman and CEO of Nicolet. “While long-term visibility remains foggy, necessitating caution, we feel better than we did in April about controlling what we can control. We believe even more today that our strategy of shared success for customers, employees and shareholders will be the cornerstone of our long term success as we move forward and beyond current events.”
“Amid the unusual dynamics brought on by various responses to the pandemic and recession, we executed on our core business and took care of our customers during a very unsettling yet busy period,” Atwell said.
Nicolet originated $340 million of PPP loans this quarter for nearly 2,550 business customers, which supported approximately 40,000 employees in those underlying businesses. We created a micro-grant program, providing $1.25 million of funds directly to 325 customers who otherwise qualified for a small PPP loan of less than $5,000, no strings attached, as a more cost beneficial, timely and impactful result for the customer and the bank. It represented a direct give back of 10% of the PPP fees subsequently earned. Since the pandemic started, payment modifications were made on over 900 loans totaling $447 million, most of which were commercial. For retail customers purchasing new homes or refinancing, we processed a record of nearly 1,500 mortgage loans this quarter. For two months we provided service charge waivers to small businesses and auto-qualified retail customers for our popular 3% checking product. Our financial advisors, lenders and bankers counseled countless clients through a period of dramatic volatility and uncertain futures.
“I am very proud of the teamwork exhibited by our employees to process this extraordinary loan volume, including back office and branch personnel redirected into the work flow,” said Mike Daniels, President and CEO of Nicolet National Bank. “We conducted this significant business activity, while remaining diligent on keeping customers and employees safe under less than usual conditions.”
“Focusing on safety, our early pandemic response included lobby-by-appointment-only periods at all but 11 branches that were temporarily closed. Senior management and back office departments were separated to address succession and redundancy concerns, and many employees worked remotely from home. Also, we aggressively procured masks and other protective supplies,” Daniels said. Costs associated with on-site bonuses, testing, and protective supplies totaled $0.6 million for second quarter 2020.
“During the temporary branch closure period, we helped customers find good alternatives to visiting these locations, including directing them to nearby locations, remote deposit and mobile banking. Our customers responded well to the change, which helped confirm that banking with Nicolet matters more to our customers than the physical location of the office,” said Daniels. “Therefore, we decided to permanently close seven (18%) of our 39 branches (one each in Oshkosh, Appleton, Suamico, Brussels, Kewaunee, Fish Creek, and Ellison Bay), which also reduced headcount by 56 employees (nearly 10% of our workforce).” As a result, $1.7 million of one-time costs were recorded during second quarter related to lease terminations, severance, accelerated depreciation and write-offs. Annual savings, once the underlying properties are sold, are estimated to be $3 million, primarily in personnel costs.
At the start of the pandemic, Nicolet employed approximately 600 people and at peak points had 34% working remotely, 18% paid but not working due to risk concerns or location closure, and the remainder of employees working on site. At June 30, 2020, Nicolet employed 544 people, with the decline primarily due to the branch closures and efficiencies.
“Selected branch closings are forward-looking actions that support our people-centered strategy in a rapidly automating environment,” Atwell stated. “We will continue to focus on configuring the company to serve the customer's needs and experience more efficiently and effectively. ”
Balance Sheet Review
At June 30, 2020, period end assets were $4.5 billion, an increase of $809 million (22%) over March 31. The quarter-over-quarter increase in assets was predominantly due to higher cash and cash equivalents (up $581 million to $823 million, commensurate with the increase in total deposits) and loans (up $214 million or 8% to $2.8 billion at June 30).
Total deposits of $3.5 billion at June 30, 2020, increased $514 million (17%) over March 31, a large contributor to the heavy cash position this quarter. This unusually large increase in deposits was influenced by the unique circumstances including, the government stimulus payments and pandemic stay-at-home orders, which reduced spending and increased liquidity of consumers and businesses, and by PPP loan proceeds retained on deposit by corporate borrowers. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits accounted for the largest increase since March 31 (up $296 million or 37% to $1.1 billion at June 30, primarily due to the deposited PPP loan proceeds). Transaction accounts combined (i.e. savings, money markets and interest-bearing checking) increased $192 million (13%) to $1.7 billion at June 30, and brokered deposits grew $65 million (23%) to $346 million, in part to reduce other wholesale funding, while core time deposits declined $38 million (9%) to $378 million, largely moving into transaction accounts.
Since March 31, loans increased $329 million from the carrying value of PPP loans, and declined $115 million (4%) in the remaining loan portfolio (led by commercial lines of credit which were down $111 million), as many commercial customers funded their current needs through the PPP and exercised caution in this volatile and uncertain business climate.
The PPP loans provided low 1% coupon and potentially forgivable funds to small businesses, and are fully guaranteed by the SBA warranting no credit loss provisioning. Nicolet earned on average a 3.53% fee or $12.2 million from the SBA to process and service the PPP loans. This aggregate fee was deferred and will be accreted ratably into interest income over the life of the PPP loan pool, which may accelerate if loans payoff sooner. Nicolet accreted $1.1 million into interest income for the second quarter of 2020. Using the PPP loans as collateral, Nicolet funded the PPP loans through the Federal Reserve's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), which cost 0.35% and totaled $336 million
at June 30, 2020. PPP loans funded by PPPLF are given a zero risk-weight in regulatory risk-based capital ratios and are excluded from average assets in the regulatory leverage ratio.
Total capital was $532 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $21 million since March 31, 2020, mostly due to solid earnings and positive net fair value investment changes. The Company's share repurchase program was temporarily suspended effective March 21, 2020, in response to the uncertain future economic conditions due to the pandemic. Management intends to resume repurchases in the third quarter given current conditions, market opportunities and financial performance of the bank. At June 30, 2020, there remained $7.1 million authorized under the repurchase program, as modified, to be utilized from time-to-time to repurchase shares in the open market, through block transactions or in private transactions.
Asset Quality
“As the first quarter ended, we significantly increased the provision for loan losses to $3 million, with nearly no forward visibility in the wake of an emerging pandemic and recession,” Atwell said. “With better but still limited forward visibility and no material degradation of our current asset quality metrics, we provided an additional $3 million in the second quarter. We feel this provides appropriate consideration for the continued uncertainty about the extent and duration of current credit stress on our customers. That said, we are encouraged by the liquidity of, operating performance of and precautions taken by our borrowers to date, which may indicate that less aggressive provisioning may be warranted in the future,” commented Atwell.
Since the pandemic started, over 900 loans (88% commercial and 12% retail) were provided payment modifications on loans totaling $447 million (67% interest only and 33% full payment deferrals) generally for 90 to 120 days, consistent with guidelines of the CARES Act. As of July 9, 24% of these have returned to normal payment structures, 11% received a secondary extension to interest only for up to 90 more days (after bringing accrued interest current), and the remainder should end their initial modification periods by early September.
Nonperforming assets decreased to $13 million at June 30, to represent 0.29% of total assets compared to 0.42% at March 31. Since the prior quarter, the allowance for credit losses-loans increased to $29 million, due to the $3.0 million provision for credit losses recognized against negligible charge-offs during the quarter of $0.1 million or 0.01% of average loans, annualized. At June 30, 2020, the allowance represented 1.03% of total loans, and represented 1.17% of total loans excluding the net carrying value of PPP loans.
Income Statement Review
Net income for second quarter 2020 was $13.5 million, $2.9 million or 28% stronger than first quarter 2020, led by stellar mortgage income, partly offset by elevated expense.
While second quarter 2020 net interest income of $31.5 million was minimally different from first quarter 2020 (up $0.2 million or less than 1%), there were dramatic underlying changes, predominantly the inclusion of PPP loans and PPPLF, and significantly higher average cash balances earning significantly less given the timing of the 150bps decline in the Federal funds rate in mid-March. On a linked quarter basis, average interest earning assets increased $750 million (24%), due to growth in average loans (up $239 million net, with PPP loans up $265 million offsetting a decline in remaining loans), investments (up $36 million) and other interest earning assets which are predominantly cash (up $475 million, to represent 15% of interest-earning assets for second quarter 2020 versus 4% for first quarter 2020). Average interest bearing liabilities increased $523 million (24%) on a linked quarter basis, comprised of $264 million higher interest-bearing deposits (with brokered deposits up $185 million on average given the $200 million liquidity build executed in late March to early April at an approximately 1% net negative spread, and generally rising core deposits), $237 million of new PPPLF funding, and $21 million higher other interest-bearing liabilities. Further adding to the heavy cash position and net free funds was average noninterest-bearing demand deposits, totaling $1.0 billion for second quarter compared to $787 million in first quarter 2020, mainly due to deposited PPP loan proceeds.
The net interest margin for second quarter 2020 was 3.21%, down from 3.94% for first quarter 2020, heavily influenced by the changing balance sheet mix, especially to low-earning cash. The yield on earning assets of 3.76% declined 90bps from first quarter 2020, mostly due to the dramatic increase in cash that generally earns 10 bps since March 2020, as well as the low rate on the PPP loans. The yield on loans excluding PPP loans was 4.96%, 23bps lower than first quarter 2020
mostly attributable to the impact of the lower rate environment on variable loans partly offset by floors and the increased mix of fixed rate loans which dampened the impact of the rate decrease. The cost of funds of 0.79% declined 25bps during the same period, as both deposit and other funding costs were adjusted down in the lower rate environment, as well as the inclusion of PPPLF funds costing 35bps.
Second quarter noninterest income of $17.5 million increased $7.9 million (82%) compared to first quarter 2020, driven by strong secondary mortgage income. Net mortgage income increased $7.6 million, from higher sale gains and capitalized gains combined (up $6.2 million or 205%, commensurate with the increase in volumes sold into the secondary market, aided by the current refinance boom), and a $1.4 million favorable swing in the marks to fair value the mortgage servicing asset and mortgage derivatives combined. Other noninterest income increased $1.0 million over first quarter largely due to market recoveries since March on the value of nonqualified deferred compensation plan assets. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $0.4 million or 34% between the sequential quarters, mainly as we waived certain fees to provide economic relief to our customers in the second quarter.
Noninterest expense of $27.8 million increased $4.0 million (17%) from first quarter 2020. Personnel increased $1.2 million largely due to nonqualified deferred compensation expense, which increased $1.2 million related to the plan asset recoveries noted above, $0.2 million higher overtime to process mortgage and PPP volume, $0.4 million of on-site bonus pay, and $0.2 million of severance costs related to the branch closures, offset by $0.8 million of reduced personnel fringes and incentive accruals between the sequential quarters. All non-personnel expenses combined increased $2.8 million from first quarter 2020, as second quarter 2020 included expense of $1.5 million related to the branch closures (mostly lease termination charges), $1.25 million for the micro-grant program, and $0.5 million to terminate the Commerce Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Commerce”) merger agreement.
Acquisitions Update
On May 18, 2020, Nicolet and Commerce announced a mutual agreement to terminate their merger agreement dated February 17, 2020. Nicolet paid Commerce $0.5 million and surrendered its $0.1 million of Commerce common stock.
Nicolet's pending acquisition of Advantage Community Bancshares, Inc. (“Advantage”) has received all necessary regulatory approvals, as well as approval from Advantage shareholders. The merger is expected to close August 21, and Advantage's four branches in Dorchester, Edgar, Mosinee and Wausau will open as Nicolet branches on August 24. Due to the small size of the transaction, terms of the all-cash deal were not disclosed. At June 30, 2020, Advantage had total assets of $160 million, loans of $89 million, deposits of $135 million, and equity of $21 million.
